They called it the Winter War but was it really winter? It only began showing the effects of Winter after the war. Time has passed and everything was alomost restored to its original state except for the hearts of the people who had to withstand it. The pain. anger, sorrow, regret, loss of pride, relief, ease, and joy of victor will never be forgotten. Everyone was united and yet so apart. It was nice to finally see the sun rise again after such turmoil.

Just bedcause Aizen and the Espada has fallen doesn't mean enimies will stop showing up in Karakura Town. The Menos, Adjuchas, Hollows and Arrancar felt a freedom over them. But they still sought for power. They would consume any soul with the least bit of power in that little town of Karakura; competeing to be the next strongest. Their greed brought a lot of trouble to Ichigo and his friends. Sometimes there were more than enough they could handle at the same time. Urahara was the type of person who helps when necessary and extremely important so he believed that Ichigo and the rest could take care of the nuisance. And no matter how strong Ichigo is he can't be in different places at the same time. Therefore, Head Captain Commander Yamamoto has ordered Hitsugaya Toshiro; the 10th squad captain and his lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto with the help of Kuchiki Rukia to assist the humans.

Once the three arrived in Karakura, they noticed that the weather was quite different. It was finally winter. It was cold for all three especially Ranigku.

"Whats a girl like me suppose to wear to show off her amazing body when it's so cold?" said Rangiku with a troubled look on her face.

"Matsumoto what are you saying?"was her captain's reply.

Rangiku just gave a smile.

"Rangiku-san is it that cold?" asked Rukia.

"Yeah i don't feel that cold." Toshiro pointed out.

"Yeah it's freezing! Maybe you two aren't cold cause you're so alike, being all cold hearted and-" with a smirk replied Rangiku.

"What did you say. Matsumoto?" Because he didnt catch what she said.

But Rukia couldn't help but blush.

"Nothing taicho... Come on lets get going already." Rangiku said trying to change the subject.
