"...Reincarnation is believed to occur when the soul or spirit of a certain person, after the death of their body, comes back to life in a newborn body. Many believe this happens because the soul might not have acomplished an important quest or mission in the last life, so they come back to our world, in different skin or gender so that their mission can be completed and they can rest in peace. There are many people who don't believe in this, and I was one of them, at least, until my 14th birthday..."

November 28, 1996
Toshiro Hitsugaya {(4th seat of squad 10) age: 125) and Mariya Yattamori {(Captain of S. Squad T.P.) age: same} stand back-to-back, alone in the forest outside the East Rukon District, in a fight with what seems to be a seriously powerful Hollow. Mariya and Toshiro are both wounded, but luckily with non-major injuries.
Mariya looks around, puzzeled and on-edge.
...Where are the Hollows? Their spiritual presure just vanished...
Suddenly, a vision comes to her mind.
She sees Toshiro standing a few feet in front of her, normal. Then suddenly, an arrow shot sword flashes past her face, and stabs into Toshiro's back, hitting him through the heart as an unworldly sound escapes his throat. He falls instantly to ground, dead to the bone as a pool of scarlet forming around them.
She stands there now, frozen in fear at the sight of his dead corpse.
"Yattamori?..."
Mariya suddenly snaps back into reality when she hears Toshiro's voice.
"Are you ok? Remember, we're in the middle of a battle." he says as Mariya's heart rate slows down.
"Shut up! I'm the head officer here, I know what I'm doing." Mariya replies, now irritated.
...You're the one I'm worried about...
Suddenly, the sound of a arrow is heard. They both turn to see nothing dangerous coming.
...Was that the arrow? No, it missed and it was shot from the wrong angle...
Toshiro started stepping away from Mariya.
"I'm going to go investigate over there." Toshiro said as he walked farther away.
Mariya turns.
"Huh? Wait. Toshiro, come back!" Mariya yells, irritated once again
She suddenly gasped.
"Wait a second, that's where Toshiro was standing in my..." Mariay trials, tears starting to come to her eyes, "No! Toshiro can't die."
She drops her hand holding Mamori Koudoukai, her zanpakutou, to her side.
"Toshiro, forgive me," she says to herself as she makes Mamori disappear.
She starts running towards Toshiro.
"Toshiro!" she yells as ran closer.
Toshiro turned toward her, surprised to hear her so desperate.
"Mari-" Toshiro starts.
"MOVE!" She snaps as she pushes him to the ground.
Within seconds a sword shot like an arrow comes hurling at Mariya and hit her dead strait in the heart. The momentum from the from the impact sends Mariya flying into a nearby tree and tears a necklace she's wearing right from her neck.
Toshiro, still on the ground, looks at Mariya with horror, still in shock that she saved him.
"Yattamori..." Toshiro said as he tries to stand up.
Suddenly the sword through Mariya's heart disapears, and now motionless, she falls to the ground.
"MARIYA!!!" Toshiro yells as she lands on the ground, now unconsicous and half dead.

Mariya Shecker wakes up from her dream, shaken and frightened.
"That dream again..." Mariya Shecker whispers as she tries to slow down her breathing.
"Ms. Shecker?..." a familiar voice says, shaking Mariya back to reality.
She looks up, to see her favorite teacher, Mrs. Gleiner, looking down at her, concern in her eyes.
"Are you alright?" she asks.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just excited for a party tonight, that's all." Mariya answers, trying to make Mrs. Gleiner feel less concerned.
...Wow, I'm pathedic...
Suddenly, the bus bell rings and Mariya runs from her seat to the door.
"See you Monday!" Mariya calls over her shoulder as she runs from the room.
As she run out, she sighs, relieved that she was saved by the bell.
...That dream...I've had since I was little...That, or a dream about that boy...
As she comes to stand in front of her locker, she stops, now thinking of the boy from her numerous dreams.
"Toshiro..." she trails to herself as she begins to zone out into her dreams.
Behind her, her friends sneak up.
Her friend, Virginia, reaches her hands around Mariya's sides and begins to tickle her.
"EARTH TO MARIYA!" Virginia calls as she still tickles her.
"ACK!" Madison yells, shocked out from her dream state.
"VIRGINIA! Why did you do that?" she asks as she whips her head around, now fuming with irritation.
"You were completly zoned out, I couldn't pass up the oppurtunity," Virginia answers as she and Mariya's other friends laugh at her reaction.
"It still doesn't give you the right to scare the hell out of me!" Mariya yells, now angry.
Her blood begins to boil as she watches them laugh at her reaction, anger rising with each of their chuckles. And, without even thinking, she yells something to allow some of her infuritation to escape.
"DAMARE IMA!!!" she yells as they still laughed.
They stop, surprised and confused by what Mariya had said.
"Mariya, since when do you know Japanese?" her friend Cree asks, apparently aware of the language.
"Huh? I don't, what are you talking about." Mariya asks, confused herself.
"Hello? We're talking about how you just yelled something in Japanese. You must know some Japanese." Virginia says, now irritated herself.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't. I just said whatever popped into my head and it just happened to be that. Now, are we going to catch the bus or not!?" Mariya replies.
"Oh yeah, that's right. Get your stuff, we need to hurry, or it will leave without us." Mariya's friend Kayla says as she pushes Mariya back to her locker.
"Fine, jeez, calm down." Mariya answers as she opens her messy locker.
Luckily, they don't have homework, so all she has to grab is her private sketch book. As she puts it in her bag, her other friend, Bianca, grabs it and begins to flip through it.
"Hey, what do you think your doing?!" Mariya yells as she tries to take it back.
"Wow Mariya, you're a good artist. But all you draw are the same 3 or 4 people." Bianca says as she shows Virginia and the others.
"Give it back!" Mariya yells, now angrier then before.
"Bianca's right, especially this boy. Why does he have white hair?" Cree asks as she flips through the many pictures of the boy.
"Because that's the color it is in my dreams, now give it back to me!" Mariya answers as she finally snaches it from Kayla.
"You dream about that boy? What's his name?" Virginia asks as Mariya begins to blush.
"His name's Toshiro." she answers.
"He's Japanese? I thought you didn't know anything Japanese." Cree says.
"I don't, it's just what I call him all the time in my dreams, so I'm guessing that's his name." Mariya explains as she closes her locker.
"Oh." her friends sigh at the same time.
Madison looks away as she starts walking towards the bus exit, still trying to make sense of how she knows anything in Japanese. She has never really been around anything Japanese. She's lived in Terre Haute, Indiana her whole life and has gone to Woodrow Wilson Middle School for the last three years of her life.
The closest she came to Japan was Milwaukie, Oregon, where she had been visiting some realitives who live there. And she's never heard Japanese, not even when she used to watch a show named Sailor Moon when she was little. They talked in normal english, that's it. She's confused, but, at the same time, it seems, well, natural, like, she used to know it very well.
