When Hitsugaya accidently stabbed Hinamori during the Winter War he didn't know that he actually stabbed her at the center of her spiritual powers. And causing her to lose her powers…………

Ch 1: GONE
Hitsugaya was in a dark room of 4th division standing beside an unconsciously raven hair girl sleeping soundly with wires attaching to her left arm. His eyes narrowing down and his arms clenched behind him.
"I'm sorry Hinamori. I didn't mean too…..I was too stubborn and suddenly attacked…..I didn't know but if…………..(sigh) I can't even apologize to her the right way. …..…..I didn't mean for you to lose your powers because of…….. me…" regrets filled his entire body.
"Master………..I wasn't your fault…..We were both under Aizen's hypnosis……So please do not blame yourself," Hyourinmaru begged him.
Yes it is!" I impaled my sword into her!...........Of all the people…why does it have to be her." Tears began to form in his turquoise eyes. "Why her!." Hitsugaya's body began shaking with unbearable pain that only Hinamori could take away. Unexpectedly, Hitsugaya starting sobbing; his agonizing cries echoes the room.
Luckily nobody was around to see him in this state.. Hitsugaya's knees began to wobble and suddenly he went down to kneeling position."I'm……..sooo…..so….sorry…" His voice breaking and his hands went up covered his face. "P…lease……f..forgive…me." he stammered.
"Master………" whispered hyourinmaru.
"Shiro-chan……Of course I forgive you." Whispered a soft voice replying his agonizing pleas. Hitsugaya was surprised and look up only to be greeted be Hinamori's smiling face. Hinamori was obviously awake and was listening to HItsugaya's aching words.
Hitsugaya was gazing at her with tears running down his face. For the first time ever, he let Hinamori called him 'Shiro-chan' without glaring at her. Hinamori pulled herself up and kneeled in front of him. She opened her arms and pulled Hitsugaya in for her everlasting embrace.
"It's okay Shiro-chan. I already forgive you." Hinamori cooed, her arms around him soothing his pain away. "I…can't breath baka." He replied back, his face turning pink.
"And it's Hitsugaya-taicho by the way!" he added. Even though he sounded annoyed, Hitsugaya didn't pulled away from her embrace. Suddenly, the door opened and it revealed Matsumoto holding flowers for Hinamori. Obviously, in Matsumoto's eyes she saw Hitsugaya embracing Hinamori and not the other way around.
"Ooopps…Did I disturb something?" smirked Matsumoto, her eyes twinkiling. The couples immediately move farther from each other and stammered sheepishly. "umm..Of…c…course n..not Rangiku-san!" stuttered Hinamori, her face turning red.
"GRR....I'll get you for this Matsumoto! You ruined a perfectly good moment!" Hitsugaya silently cursed his vice captain. "Oi taicho! Why the disappointed face?" taunted Matsumoto. "Matsumoto!" he growled and went after her.
"Taicho! I'm sorry! I didn't know you were 'enjoying' the moment!" mocked Matsumoto. This turned Hitsugaya even more. "Bye hinamori, I'll see later." He said to the giggling peach as he chased after Matsumoto.
Hinamori cease smiling and sat down at the edge of the bed. "No need to pretend anymore." she sighed as she longingly stare at her zanpaktou.
*Flashback*
She was pretending to be asleep as she intensly listened to Unohana-taicho and Hitsugaya-kun's conversation. "Hitsugaya-taicho, I have a very important issue I have to discuss with you concerning Hinamori."
"What is it?" ask Hitsugaya-kun hoping that it wasn't much of a bad news but due to Unohana-taicho's voice it was. "……..I don't want to break this to Hinamori when she wakes up….Hitsugaya-taicho, due to your recklessness during the Winter War, Hinamori lost all her powers."
Hitsugaya widened his turquoise eyes. "WHAT!" he cried. "What do you mean?!'' "……..What I mean is that she lost all her abilities to perform demon magic and to release her zanpaktou's shikai form. She won't be a shiginami anymore because you accidently pierced your sword into the center of her spiritual powers..
Hinamori was devastated! "No, it can't be!" The rest of the conversation was just a blur as she tried not to cry. "NO! THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY TO CHANGE HER BACK TO NORMAL!" she heard Hitsugaya-kun.
"The 12th captain is working on it but for now………" Unohana-taicho worriedly glanced at Hinamori who is pretending to be sleeping. Tears began to swell up inside her eyes as she desperately hope that it was a dream.
"So….that's why Tobiume won't answer me when I tried to call her out…..No…..Tobiume is still with me…..It's just a dream….It's just a dream….IT"S JUST A DREAM!"
*End of flashback*
There was a lot more happened in the flashback but it was interrupted by a soft knock on the door. "Come in." she said weakly. "I see. You're finally awake Hinamori." Unohana-taicho replied walking toward her.
Hinamori gave her a faint smile and glanced down on her lap. "Is there something wrong Hinamori?" she ask, sitting beside her. Hinamori looked up to her and said, "Did I really lose all my powers?" She was trying hard not to cry.
Unohana-taicho sighed. "Did Hitsugaya-taicho told you?" She shook her head. "No. I figured it out on my own since Tobiume won't answer me." lied Hinamori as she twist and untwist the end of her sleeping robe.
"I'm sorry Hinamori." she glumly said to her as she place her hand on top of hers. "No…..It's fine!" Hinamori smiled covering her true feelings. Unohana-taicho examine her. "She's taking these well…..Almost too well." she said to herself.
"No..Hinamori. It's not ok. The 12th division captain is working on it to get back the powers you once lost." Unohana-taicho reassured her. Hinamori looked away. "It's impossible, Unohana-taicho. Don't waste your time on me because I'm sure that's once its lost, it's lost." Her soft voice cracking just a little.
Unohana-taicho pitied her. She guess that Hinamori probably need some alone time to think this through. "You need to rest Hinamori.. I'll come later to check on you." Hinamori reply with a faint nod.
When the door closed behind her, Hinamori jumped up and went to the corner to retrieve her broken zanpaktou. "Tobiume…." she whispered, sadness began to engulfed her. Hinamori shook her head. "Get a hold of yourself! We have a mission to do!"
Hinamori strapped her broken zanpaktou to her side and leap out of the open window.
An hour later..........
A soft knock on the door was heard. "Hinamori?'' asked Unohana-taicho. For a minute, Unohana-taicho didn't hear any "Come in." like usual. That's unsual, she thought. Then she twist the doorknob and opened the door. Unohana-taicho looked around the room and gasp letting go a plate overflowing with food. The food went down with a splat on the hard floor. The room was empty except the pale moonlight sipping through the opened window.
Taicho: captain
