I decided to do this after my sister, who I will call LZ for her sake, went through a Danny Phantom phase, all she did was watch Danny Phantom and because a friend of mine, who I'm going to call GG, loves Jack Frost from RotG. I thought about how all of them have white hair and can control ice, plus reading a few Danny Phantom and Rise of the Guardians crossovers, and came up with this.
I hope you enjoy and please review :)
Warning: if you haven't seen the end of the winter war I'm sorry if I spoiled anything for you.

Chapter 1 – The Switch
The soul king looked down at the fake Karakura Town; Sosuke Aizen had just injured Gin Ichimaru after his attempt to stop him. If he didn't receive medical attention within the next fifteen minutes he would die. The king pitied the man, after dedicating his life to kill Aizen he failed. Rangiku Matsumoto was crying over Ichimaru's body as the substitute shinigami appeared and got ready to fight Aizen. What a fool. Did Aizen honestly think he could surpass him, the soul king? Oh well, Kurosaki was strong enough to take down the traitor and finally end this war.
The ancient being turned his gaze onto the white-haired prodigy; another shinigami was heading in his direction to heal him. Good, the boy must be in intense pain after Aizen chopped him up after his little breakdown about stabbing his foster. Besides, he was already about to lose one prodigy, he didn't want to lose another. Especially after how long it took him to make Hyourinmaru, the sword was the strongest ice elemental that he ever made. Clockwork even had to tell him about making the spirit a year before the boy was born.
While he was thinking about the young prodigy, everything went silent. The sound of war had stopped and so had the people in it. Hmm, it would seem that Clockwork was here and had something important to talk about. That man loves to do that if there was a serious matter he needed to discuss with him. The soul king turned around and sees his longtime acquaintance standing there in his toddler form. If the soul king hadn't known Clockwork for so long his sudden appearance would have surprised the king.
"Hello Soul, I see the war has finally come to an end for the shinigami." Yes Clockwork called him Soul, it was because he doesn't actually have a real name, and he only had his title. Clockwork came over to the orb that was in the middle of the destroyed room, courtesy of Aizen during his attempt to surpass him. That man a very bad temper when it came to failing and had demolished the room before he make a quick escape, of course Soul had let him leave. There was no way to describe to room without saying 'destroyed' or 'reduced to rubble'. Clockwork simply ignored the state of Soul's observation and continued talking. "It's such a shame that Gin Ichimaru has to die, don't you agree?"
Oh so it had something to do with Ichimaru. "Yes it is a shame, he was a great shinigami. Not many would go that far just to kill an enemy like Aizen, Ichimaru even had him fooled up until the end." Soul was curious about what the other ancient being wanted, there seemed to be a look in his ruby eyes that screamed something. Soul just didn't know what it was yet. "It's not every day I lose a prodigy."
Clockwork nodded his head in agreement. "Indeed, but at least you have one left." He smiled at the king before he looked around the town for a few minutes. "Miss Matsumoto will most likely be devastated if he doesn't survive."
"You should know if he doesn't survive, you the master of time. It would be ridiculous if you didn't know how Lieutenant Matsumoto would react." The soul king spoke in a calm tone; of course Clockwork knew there was a warning hidden beneath his words. He was getting irritated that with the conversation and wanted Clockwork to get on with the reason he visited him. Clockwork just gave Soul another smile before looking at where Toshiro was.
He frowned at the sight of the boy bleeding so much. "He has such a cold personality. Tell me Soul, do you think he would have turned out happier if he didn't grow up with the prejudice he got for looking different? If he had a better life before becoming one of your shinigamis"
Soul didn't answer, he just stared at his old friend but his silence answered for him. Yes. He did think Toshiro would have been happier. He also looked at the boy; he must also be why Clockwork was here. But why? Why did Gin Ichimaru and Toshiro Hitsugaya matter so much that the master of time would come here on his own free will. If the Observants cared then they would have been here or had Clockwork tell him that they sent him.
"I can help." Clockwork didn't speak very loud, actually his voice was barely above a whisper, but it still caught Soul's attention. "I can help you have both of your prodigies and give both a better future than the ones they already have."
What? Clockwork wanted to help them? "Why do you care if Gin Ichimaru survives and if Toshiro is happier? You have never done this before for my reapers?" that was good question, a very good question since he isn't supposed to mess with the time stream.
Clockwork sighed and looked back at the frozen battle field. "Do you remember the hybrid that I saved from destroying the world when he got older?" the soul king just nodded. "if you let me interfere with the way this war was supposed to end then you can won't lose Gin and Toshiro won't be so cold, you'll even gain allies with the ghost in the ghost zone."
The soul king was silent for a moment as he thought it over. Gin was a strong shinigami, skilled, and intelligent, even though he can be childish at times. His ties with the ghost zone haven't really been that strong since that little argument a millennia ago the ghost had with his shinigamis. That would be fantastic if the rifts between Soul Society and the Ghost Zone are fixed. So after thinking about how this could help the creator of the Soul Society turned to Clockwork. "what would you need to do if I agreed and would I have to do anything?"
Pleased with his friends answer, Clockwork smiled at Soul. "It's simple really I just need to make a switch between them and for your assistance. But I should warn you, Hitsugaya won't be in soul society for a while."
Soul scowled at Clockwork, he knew how this conversation would turn out before he even got here. "Fine just tell me what we have to do."
Gin couldn't think straight, it so hard to focus on anything. It just hurt so much; the pain from having his arm ripped off by Aizen was unbearable. He didn't even notice Rangiku crying above him until she was sobbing so loud that anyone in the area could hear her. She was begging for him hang in there while Ichigo fought Aizen, that help would come. All Gin wanted to do was get her to stop crying, he didn't want to be the one to make her cry, not now.
"Please Gin don't die! Please you have to stay with me! Don't worry someone will come to help, just don't give up!" Rangiku let her reiatsu flare out as much as she could, hoping that someone would come.
'I'm so sorry Ran-Chan I couldn't get back at Aizen for what he did you.'
It was pretty obvious that he was going to die here, but at least Rangiku would be there with him. It was better than dying alone, or worse, with Aizen. He wasnt going to make it, it would be better if he just let death have its way.
'It's okay Gin, I'm still here. You're not alone.'
Well, at least he has his zanpakuto with him. Deciding it was okay to let go he started to close his eyes, until Rangiku started to shout again. "Oh my god! Over here! Quick hurry, he doesn't have much time left!" his pale sky blue eyes opened, barely, at her words. Someone actually came? He wasn't going to die? Slowly, Gin turned his head to see a shinigami come towards them. By now his vision was getting fuzzy and he couldn't tell who it was, but he didn't really care now.
'Wow, I can't believe we're not going to die today'
'I'm going to live.'
That was Gin's last thought before his world went black.
Toshiro couldn't believe that he was going to die. If he hadn't let his hatred get in his Aizen would of never injured him so badly and he wouldn't have hurt Momo. The prodigy was already starting to see black in the corner of his vision. Hopefully Kurosaki would be able to defeat Aizen, then he wouldn't have died for nothing.
'Hyourinmaru I don't want to die, not now'
'I know master, I know. Neither do I.'
What will happen to Matsumoto, will she be able to handle the division without him? Is she going to get drunk all the time and let the squad burn to the ground? Will Momo ever forgive him for stabbing her in the chest? A million thoughts went through his head as he lost feeling in his legs.
'It's alright master, rest your mind, I will be with you until the end.'
'But Hyourinmaru I-'
'Rest young one, please. You have fought hard and deserve to rest in peace,'
Listening to his companion's words, Toshiro tried to ignore the pain in his upper body and let himself die in peace. As his body started to turn into reiatsu, just like every other soul when they die, a voice screamed out. But Toshiro couldn't hear whoever it was that was calling out to him, it was too late.
Unknown to Momo that, as she held Toshiro's fading body, Rangiku and Gin that two beings were changing the time line and futures for many people
My next chapter is going to introduce the DP cast, if you have any ideas or suggestions on something I'm open to them. just a heads up for all my readers, Toshiro wont be the 'cold and extremely mature' in this, remember, he is growing up with them and I doubt Jack or the others will others will let him become a cold person, especially Jack. Toshiro will be mature at times and by the time he comes back to Soul Society his 'height issue' will bother him again.
I see Clockwork as a grandfather/guardian type of person so I apologize if you think I made him OOC.
Can anyone guess who the mystery shinigami was?
Also, if you didn't know, after a shinigami dies the spirit particles they're made from helped form the Soul Society.
I'm thinking about changing Toshiro's name since Danny and the others live in America. If you want me to keep his name or make it a middle name please tell me. I'm open to any suggestions. I'm going to post the new chapter in 2-3 weeks, just like my other story, so I hope you guys post your review on what I should do to his name.
Please review! and dont forget to say what you want to happen to his name.
