"...I, being the being I am, have never known if I had grandparents or parents when I lived in the world of the living. Heck, for all I know, I was abandoned on the side of a road, left to wander on my own until some random person took pity on me as they drove by and took me into their family. I hope I had a more normal life, like the one I have in the world I just left. That I would have caring parents and annoying siblings, and friends which I could tell my secrets and beliefs to. But, that's not important at the moment. Right now I need to focuse on how I explain my existence to the one person who was like a grandfather to me..."

SOUL SOCIETY
Madison's Perspective
Madison wakes up to the bright sunlight coming in through a window of a bedroom. She yawns and sits up, to discover that she's wearing a white sleeping gown. She looks around the room, puzzled.
"Where am I?" she says.
She then remembers what happened in the forest. Toshiro and she had been on their way back to the Seretei when her soul had been called back to her body in the world where her family is. That was where she woke up and discovered she was in the hospital. Then, she returned here, finding herself in this room. But, as Madison looks around she becomes confused. She had only been in the other world for maybe 15 minutes. Why was it already morning?
Suddenly Madison hears footsteps coming near her room. She gets up from the bed and gets into a stance, ready to strike the intruder. When the door opens, she sighs. It's Toshiro.
"Toshiro, you scared me!" she says as she relaxes.
She looks over him to see that he had changed his kimono to a new one, and he had somehow gotten rid of the bloodstains on his white haori. The make-shift bandage she made was gone and a real one peaked out from inside his kimono.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just checking on you, that's all." he says as he closes the door.
"How long was I asleep?"
"Hmm, you fell out of the tree around midnight, so I would say 9 hours-"
"9 HOURS!" Madison yells.
Toshiro rushes over to her and covers her mouth.
"SHHH! If anyone hears you, they'll think you're a ryoka."
"Sorry, it's just hard for me to believe that I was gone that long."
"Gone? What do you mean?" Toshiro asks as they sit down.
"Well, the reason I fell out of the tree was because my soul was called back to the body in the other world."
"WHAT?"
It was Madison's turn to cover his mouth.
"Yeah, and you tell me to be quiet."
"Sorry, but that's hard to believe. Wait, what if that happens while we're talking to the Head Captain?"
"Well, then, I guess we'll have to explain that too."
"Alright, well, you'd better get dressed. We're talking to him at 9:45." Toshiro says as he hands Madison her kimono and haori.
"O.K. I'll be out in a minute." she says as he walks out the door.
He smiles back at her then closes the door behind him.
A few minutes later Toshiro and she are walking out of Toshiro's living barricks and heading towards the Head Captain's office. Madison, as to not draw any attentioin to herself, became invisible to everyone except Toshiro. As Toshiro had told her, it was one of her many abilities that had made her a captain 14 years ago. Invisiblity, luckily, had been one of her powers that she remembered from her past, so she became translucent easily. As they walk down the barrick streets together, Madison remembers something unusual about her invisiblity. No one was able to see her when she did this, except for one person. Toshiro. Why he was the only one, they had never been able to figure out.
As they walk on, Toshiro stops Madison.
"Huh? What's wrong?" she asks.
Toshiro shushes her, as someone begins to round the corner.
Toshiro steps forward, then relaxes.
"Rangiku, what are you doing?" Toshiro says as a lady comes out of the turn.
"I was looking for you. No one saw you yesterday and it got me worried." Rangiku says.
"Oh, well, I'm here now. But I have to talk to the Head Captain, so if you'll excuse me. I'll see you back in the office." Toshiro says as he begins to walk away from the women.
"Alright Captain." she says.
Suddenly, Madison remembers who she is. She had been the Soul Reaper who set Toshiro and her on the journey to become Soul Reapers. And what the irony, seeing that Toshiro is her superior now. She looks up to see the women gone and Toshiro staring at her.
"Why are you just standing there? Come, on, we're going to be late." he says, annoyance in his voice.
Madison sighs and walks up to him, then an idea comes to her mind.
"Hey, why don't we have a contest."
"A contest?"
"Yeah, to see who can get there first. We'll flash step our way there."
"That's not fair."
"Hmm, why not?"
"Yattamori, you're the fastest flash stepper in the Soul Society. Heck, even better then Kuchikii."
"I haven't really flash stepped in 14 years. You're probably faster then me by now."
Toshiro looked around, then sighed.
"Fine. But, if I win, I get to give you something." he says as they walked to a line of stone a few feet back.
"Huh? Don't you mean, I have to get you something? Besides, you know I don't like when you give me random presents."
"It won't be random, just promise."
"Fine, now lets get started." she says as they get into a starting stance.
"On your mark."
"Get Set."
"Go!"
As soon as Toshiro says it, they are flying through the air. They flash over numerous houses at a time, trying to be faster then one another. Madison looks around her to see Toshiro catching up with her.
"So, you did get better. But you're going to be faster if you want to beat me!" Madison says as they approach the halfway region.
Suddenly, Toshiro cuts her off, and Madison gasps.
Toshiro chuckles then keeps on going ahead.
"Now who needs to be faster?" Toshiro says as he smiles back at her.
"Oh, be quiet, that wasn't fair." she says.
Within seconds she flash steps right next to him, taking him by surprise. She takes his hand in hers.
"Now, lets see how fast I can really go." she says as she flash steps once more.
Suddenly the world beneath them becomes a blur as Madison picks up her speed. Second after second, they become faster and faster until she suddenly stops. Toshiro, who was in a blur, gets up and his eyes widen.
They're at the main entrance of the Head Captain's office.
"Wow." Toshiro says.
They look at each other then begin to laugh at each other. As Toshiro laughs, Madison smiles. It was the first time since she got back that Toshiro had really laughed or smiled. Suddenly he stops and looks down. Madison looks down too, to see that they were still holding hands. They quickly let go, trying not to blush. Toshiro then reached around his back and placed something in her hand.
"What's this?" Madison says as she looks down at the item.
It was a small, beautiful, wooden box with a lime green ribbon raped around it.
"It's your present."
"Huh? But, I won."
"Yeah, but this isn't a win or lose gift."
"Then what is it?"
"It's your birthday present, stupid."
"WHAT?"
"Today is your birthday, November 29th."
"My birthday is the same in this world?"
"If you mean your birthday is November 29th, then yes."
"Oh, thanks Toshiro."
Slowly, she pulls the ribbon untied and carefully opens the box. As she lifts the lid, a familar glow peeks out from the cracks. When the box is fully open, she gasps. It's her necklace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiro's Perspective
Yattamori stands there, wide-eyed, as she looks down at the gift. She then looks back up at him.
"THANK YOU!" she says as she hugs him tight.
Toshiro stands there, blushing, then finally puts his arms around her.
"Your welcome." he says as she steps away from him.
"O.K., now I need you to help me." Yattamori says as she hands the necklce to him and turns around.
Toshiro looks surprised for a second, then smiles as Yattmori lifts up her long ponytail from infront of her neck. He unclasps the clasp then slips one hand with the necklace passed her neck. He automaticly reaches his other hand around to grab one side of the necklace and pulls back his hands to the back of Yattamori's neck. Toshiro then gently clasped the ends back together and dropped it gently onto Yattamori's skin. Yattamori responds by dropping her ponytail back down and turns back toward him. As he faces her once again, his eyes go automaticly to the lime green charm, which looks perfect with her outfit. He sighs happily, Yattamori now looks exactly the same as she once did. Now she is complete. Yattamori looks at him and begins to laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asks.
Yattamori stops suddenly, then looks around the area.
"Yattamori...?"
Yattamori stops, then looks back at him.
"Wow, that was werid."
"What?"
"Well, it feels like deja vu."
"You mean you've seen this before? Well, you do have pyshic abilities."
"Yeah, that's true, but still."
"Well, lets talk about this later. We need to go in."
"Alright, lets go." Yattamori says as Toshiro opens the door.
The hall reveals the many doors of the head captains office. At the end is the large door that leads to the head captain's main office room. They walk towards the door, and Toshiro turns towards Yattamori. She looks nervous and a little scared. Toshiro stops her.
"What's wrong Toshiro?" she asks.
"Yattamori, don't be nervous, remember, out of all the captains, the Head Captain liked you the most. So don't worry, once he realizes it's really you, you'll be cleared." Toshiro says.
Yattamori looks surprised, and doesn't respond quickly. But within moments, she smiles at him. Suddenly she throughs her arms around him and hugs him close.
"Thanks Toshiro, that's just what I needed to hear." she says, still hugging him.
Toshiro starts to blush again.
"I'm glad that you believed me. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't convince you. You're my best friend in the world!" Yattamori says as she smiles up at him.
Toshiro's cheecks become even redder.
"Madison..." he says.
"Now lets go in there and receritify my position as captain." she says as she lets go of him and begins to walk towards the door.
"Right." he says as he walks up to the door with her.
They stop in front of the door.
"I'll go in first, then, when I tell you, take down the invisiblitly and show yourself to him." Toshiro says as he opens the door.
Yattamori nods. Toshiro smiles, then enters the room. He turns to see the head captain sitting at his desk. He looks up from the papers on the desk and at him.
"Captain Hitsugaya, good, you're on time. Now, what is it that you wanted to say to me?" he says as he puts his work to the side.
"Head Captain, I have an old friend who would like to take the seat of the Time Pyshic Squad Captain." Toshiro says as Yattamori slips quietly into the room.
The Head Captain's looks changes to surprise.
"Really? Well, seeing as how the deceased Captain Yattamori was a close friend of your's, I guess your friend must be very powerful."
"Yes, well, you see sir..."
"Yes?"
"My friend, is someone you know."
"Hmm?"
Toshiro looks over his shoulder to Yattamori, who's now right behind him.
"Show yourself." he says to her.
She nods as the head captain looks more surprised.
Yattamori steps in front of him. A soft lime green glow appears, and starting from the feet, the invisibility spell disapates, leaving Yattamori sceen.
The head captain stands.
"Hello, Grandpa Yamamoto." she says.
