We are all like fireworks. We climb, shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even if that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework, and continue to shine... forever.
Chapter 1
He felt his body hitting the hard concrete wall with a heavy thud before he fell. A splatter of red now rested on the wall cheerfully and seemed to smile back at him. Another fresh blotch amongst the countless stains which were already painted in varying stages. His head felt murky and his thoughts seemed to swim around his head as he saw another figure approach him with almost painstaking steps. W…Who? The figure before him had warm chocolate brown eyes which smiled at him with warmth hidden behind those beautiful, beautiful brown eyes. He almost smiled. I…Ichigo? Is that you? The next thing he knew, he was being gently lifted up into someone's warm and strong arms. He sighed contentedly. "I knew it was you, Ichigo", his voice rasped aloud. He snuggled into the warmth, his hazy brain uncomprehending. Large hands caressed his hair as he felt warm breath tickling his ears. He awaited kind and loving words that would definitely melt his icy heart. However, what he desperately wished for, never happened. "I'm sorry, Hitsugaya-kun, but, your torture is far from over". A bloodcurling scream tore the still and stagnant air as a thin needle was plunged into the neck of the young and pretty tenth division captain.
Nothing would ease the frazzled nerves of the young substitute shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo as he paced around the long corridors along the corridors outside the Captain's Meeting Room, his sandals tapping against the cool wooden floor incessantly. "Hey teme. Will you stop that already? It's pissing the hell off me." Renji's voice floated through the silent room. It took a second for his words to register in Ichigo's clogged brain. "Huh? Oh sorry man, didn't mean it". Renji stared back at him, nothing but shock adorned his features. Renji gave a slight snicker before retaining back a somber face for the sake of his once enemy-turned bestfriend, Ichigo. You're really worried aren't you, Ichigo? Renji had been there when he saw Ichigo break down after the intense battle. Ichigo had been fighting Aizen and the battle seemed not to have a single effect on the traitorous bastard Aizen. Toshiro had jumped in front of Ichigo as Aizen was about to bring down the finishing blow. Everyone was shocked to the nines by the next turn of events. Instead of swinging his zanpakuto in a final arc which would definitely kill the little taichou, Aizen instead, had simply grabbed the already injured Toshiro and laughed as Toshiro tried to fight him, flailing his arms and legs. Before anyone could react, the tenth division taichou had simply disappeared with Aizen. Since that incident, the strawberry had been extremely depressed. Of course, it was a well known fact that Ichigo had been harboring feelings for the tenth division captain that Toshiro himself had reciprocated. It had been a gigantic piece of gossip throughout Soul Society. Renji huffed a sigh as he cautiously watched Ichigo's downcast face. Just as he was about to open his mouth and usher a few kind words to ease his best friend's turmoil, the doors of the Captain's Meeting hall slammed open. Ichigo's eyes immediately snapped up as he saw the captain's exiting from the meeting hall with somber expressions written clearly on their faces.
Ichigo immediately dashed up to the Soutaichou, Yamamoto with the speed of shunpo. "Soutaichou!" Ichigo called out, his loud voice carried along the hallway. The Soutaichou looked at Ichigo with pity before patting him on the back with an old gnarled hand as he shunpoed away before Ichigo even had a chance to open his mouth. All the captain's shot him looks mixed with pity and sympathy as they quickly and swiftly left the meeting hall. Some captain's even seemed on the verge of tears, such as Ukitake as they left the hallway. The only captain that remained was Byakuya as he turned and faced Ichigo slowly. His face was expressionless and his black eyes held no expression. "I'm sorry Kurosaki-kun, but, you, as well as anybody in Soul Society is forbidden to rescue current juuban taichou, Hitsugaya Toshiro."
