No Chance
Chapter One
The white haired boy sighed. The light from the sun stung his eyes. It was a beautiful summer morning. But nothing beautiful enough then working as a slave for the Princess. He sighed once again.
"C'mon, slave! Work!" A guard yelled. There isn't just one slave. There's many more. Correction, a total of 210 slaves working for the soon-to-be Queen, Princess Hinamori Momo.
"Fine, fine." Toshiro said, putting the sword in the hot fire.
"Hitsugaya, I told you to put a shirt on. You know I have a weakness for hot guys that are built!" Masumoto complained. Toshiro looked at her.
"Oh, so you are admitting that I am hot and built?" He said, a slight smirk on his lips and an eyebrow raised. Masumoto opened her mouth to say something, but no words came. She squinted her eyes instead.
"So?" She said. Toshiro chuckled and took the sword out and put it in the bucket of water, cooling it down.
"Hmph." She said. Gin chuckled.
"Oh, Rangiku. What are we gonna do with you?" Izuru said."Urusai!" She cried, punching Izuru in the arm. Izuru laughed and continued working ont building shields.
"Princess Hinamori approaches!" A guard yelled. Everyone bowed. Everyone except Hitsugaya.
"Hitsugaya! Bow! You're gonna get wipped again!" Masumoto harshly whispered. Hitsugaya ignored her. Never in his life will he bow for her.
"Bow slave!" A guard yelled. Toshiro put the sword down and glared at the guard.
"Make me." He challenged. Hinamori looked at him and reached out for the guard not to whip him. Too late. The whip sliced Toshiro's back, making a cry spill from his lips and made him fall to one knee.
"Toshiro..." Gin whispered as Masumoto looked away. Toshiro hung his head and gritted his teeth in pain. The slice on his back hurt like a bitch. A warm hand suddenly placed on his cheek. He widened his eyes and looked up, aqua blue eyes meeting brown eyes that belonged to the princess, who gently smiled at him and bent down to his level.
"P-Princess Hinamori, what are you doing?" Said the guard who whipped Toshiro. The princess shot the guard a glare.
"You had no right to do that." She said.
"But, Momo-" He got cut off.
"-Did I give you permission?" She said.
"...No, princess, you didn't." He said.
"Exactly. He didn't do anything wrong either. Not bowing is not a crime." She said and turned her attention back to Toshiro, who still stared at her.
"C'mon, let's go get that wound cleaned up." She said, smiling and extending her hand. He looked at it. He relaxed his eyes but furrowed his eyebrows. The Princess stood.
"Don't worry. I don't bite." She said. He hesitated but too her hand. She helped him up and took her hand away from his cheek.
IN HINAMORI'S POV
We headed to the entrance. Some guard stepped forward, willing to guard me. I held my hand up, stopping them. I lead him to the nursery section, my hand intertwined with his.
"So what's your name?" I asked as I wipped the blood from his gash.
"...Hitsugaya Toshiro." He replied.
"My name is-" "-I already know your name." He said, cutting me off. I smiled and began stitched his wound up, for it was too deep and too wide.
"Tell me something." He said.
"Nani?" She said.
"Why...-sigh- if you're the princess, why don't you have the power to stop all of this?" He asked. I looked up at him, his eyes locked mine. He was so beautiful. I never noticed his eyes before.
"I do have the power to." I said.
"Then...why aren't you doing anything?" He asked.
"Prince Aizen won't let me do anything until we get married in a few days." I said.
"So, you're just gonna let that asshole bully you around? He's not the boss of you." He said.
"I know. But he also wants to stop this chaos too. He said, with him, our powers will be added together. And by that, we'll stop anything. I promise to stop the slavery in this town." I said. Toshiro kept staring at me, thoughtfully. I smiled and looked down, continueing the stitching.
HITSUGAYA'S POV
"Toshiro, you know it's never gonna happen between you and the Princess." Gin said.
"I know. Who would be dumb enough to fall for a slave?" I said, shooting Gin a glare.
"Hitsugaya, you know I didn't mean it like that." He said.
"No, no. Go ahead, believe in what you say. You can never say never. You don't know that it's never going to happen, Gin." I said, turning to walk away.
"Toshiro..." Izuru whispered.
"My happiness counts too, you know." I said, crawling into bed and gazing up at the stars. They can say what they want. I don't care if the Princess is a higher rank then I am. No one can judge my future. No one can say 'it's never gonna happen' when someone likes someone else that is out of their league. I rolled on my side and closed my eyes. People need to shut up and tell me who I can and can not like.
Just when I was about to drift off into sleep, I got awoken by Izuru.
"Hitsugaya!" Izuru cried.
"Nani?" I said, not turning to face him.
"There's a fire!" He said. I opened my eyes.
"It's at Rukia's and Renji's section!" He said. I sat up and all four of us ran to Rukia and Renji.
"What happened?" I said.
REGULAR POV
"I accidentally started a fire!" Rukia said, splashing water on it. Renji grabbed her wrist. "Get down!" He cried. Everyone got down. Everyone but Hitsugaya and Izuru. They didn't have time to dodge or react because the fire let out a huge explosion, sending Toshiro and Izuru flying back a few feet. Toshiro landed on a hay roof, which collapsed underneath him and he tumbled to the ground, landing on the hay. Izuru was unlucky and landed on the hard ground, skidding back a few inches.
"Izuru!" Gin cried, running to him.
"Toshiro!" Rukia and Masumoto said, running to his side. Everything blurred in Toshiro's eyes. He was barely able to move. Gin cupped Izuru's face in his hands. But Izuru was knocked out cold.
"Izuru! Wake up!" Gin cried. "Toshiro? You ok?" Rukia said, helping him up.
"I-I think so." He said, finally getting his vision back. "Izuru is hurt. He was closest to the blast." Masumoto said. Toshiro looked at Gin and Izuru, who opened his blue eyes. "...Gin?" He mumbled. Gin wrapped his arms around his neck and hugged him.
"Izuru, are you alright? You scared me." Gin said. Izuru closed his eyes and hugged back. Suddenly, Toshiro felt dizzy. He staggered, putting his hand to his forehead.
"Toshiro?" Renji said.
"Daijoubu?" Masumoto asked. Toshiro fell unconscious and fell into Masumoto's arms.
IN HINAMORI'S POV
I watched from my window, horrified by the site. I scanned the area.
"Princess, there are slaves out there who got hit by the blast. What are you going to do?" A maiden asked. "I'm going to help!" I cried, once I saw Toshiro unconscious in a woman's arms. I ran out, with my maid behind me.
"Bring them inside!" I said to the woman holding Toshiro. She looked at me.
"Hurry!" I said as another blast came.
"Right! Gin! Izuru!" The woman cried, carrying Toshiro inside. My maid led her to the nursey section.
"Coming!" Gin said, putting Izuru on his back and running inside. "Try to put the fire out!" I ordered some guards.
"Yes Princess." They said. I closed the door and led Gin to where Toshiro is.
"Put them on the beds." I said. Gin put Izuru on one bed and the woman put Toshiro on the other. Two nurses came and put oxygen maskes on
Toshiro, Gin, Izuru, and the woman.
"My name is Masumoto Rangiku." Masumoto said to me.
"Gin." Gin said.
"My name is Izuru. Nice to meet you." Izuru said. I bowed my head at them.
"Nice to meet you too." I said. The two nurses came up to me.
"Try to take care of them as much as you can. I'm going to help the others." I said. They nodded and I ran out to help the injured inside.
IN GIN'S POV
I sat on Izuru's bed. Izuru has been my childhood friend and I care for him deeply. We are close and we stand up for eachother, not wanting either one of us hurt. I held his hand in both of mine. He locked his eyes with mine.
"Gin..." He said.
"You'll be fine. They're gonna take care of you." I said, taking off my oxygen mask. Izuru sat up and took his off too.
"No, Izuru. Put it back on. You need it more than I do." I said. Izuru shook his head no.
"I need to make some confessions." He said and squeezed my hand.
"I...I am gay, Gin." He said.
"When did you figured that out?" I asked.
"About a day ago. I was kind of scared to tell you because I thought it might ruin our friendship." He said. I smiled.
"Izuru, I'm not against gays because I am gay too and it would never ruin our friendship." I said. Izuru looked at me.
"There's one more thing." He said.
"What is it?" I said. He took my hand in both of his and sighed lightly.
"I, uh..." He looks down, nervously." I...love you, Gin." He said. I put my forehead to his and smiled. He looked at me.
"You know, I've always been lingering for you, Izuru." I said. "I-I don't understand. What are you saying?" He said. I closed my eyes, tilting my head to the side, leaning in and gently pressing my lips to his. He was a little shocked at first but obidiently kissed back and put other hand on my shoulder. "Izuru, promise me one thing?" I said.
"Anything, Gin." He said.
"Don't...don't get hurt in the future. I can't stand for you to get hurt again." I said.
"I'll promise if you do." He said. I smiled and chuckled softly.
"I promise." I said.
"Then I promise also." He said.
REGULAR POV
"Has they improved?" Princess Hinamori asked a nurse.
"Hitsugaya has improved a lot. But Izuru will need some time. He was the closest to the blast and has a lot of burns on his chest and stomach." She said.
"Ok. Has Hitsugaya woken up yet?" Hinamori asked.
"No. He hasn't." She said.
"Ok, arigato." Hinamori said. The nurse bowed and walked to Izuru, who asleep and Gin was laying next to him on the best, also asleep. The nursegrabbed the curtain and yanked it to the left, making what's like a door so no one can see what she is doing. Hinamori sat down on Hitsugaya's bed. He has been unconscious for 24 hours. The Princess became worried and reached up, touching the slight burn on his neck.
"I'm sorry that that happened to you." She whispered. Toshiro was special to the Princess. But she could never figured out why. She felt that she somehow knew him. And she needs to find out if she does. She then realized something and looked at the door.
"Orihime." She whispered and ran down to the Prison Cell section.
"Where is she?" Hinamori whispered. She finally found her cell and came up to the bars.
"Orihime, I need your help." Momo begged. Orihime stood. The Princess became horrified. She was so skinny. She could see her bones.
"What do you want from me?" She asked. She obvisously hasn't been eating. Hinamori gulped.
"It's Toshiro. He was injured yesterday durning a fire. I need your help. I need you to heal him." The Princess said. Orihime's eyes grew with worry.
"Isn't he a slave? Why do you want to help a slave? Why he is so important to you?" Orihime said.
"I...I don't know. He...He is special to me and I can't figured out why. I know him from some place. But I can't figured it out." Momo said. Orihime charged at me, grabbing ahold of the bars.
"Then I will never help you. I won't help a person who can't figured out who she is to Toshiro. You're his childhood friend! How could you NOT remember?" Orihime snapped. All of a sudden, memories got into Momo's brain. Flashbacks of Toshiro and her when they were younger. Laughing and hanging out. Momo got sucked back into reality.
"Then please! Help me!" Momo begged.
"NO!" Orihime yelled. "You have the power to stop this chaos even without Aizen. So what if you aren't able to stop anything else! So what that you could get arrested! Atleast you'll save 210 slaves! That's all the would matter! But, no. You want to wait." She said. Hinamori was shocked by her words.
"Orihime, please. I will set you and Ichigo free." Hinamori begged. Orihime's eyes widened.
"Where is he?" She asked.
"He is in Osaka's most powerful prison." Hinamori said. Orihime looked down.
"He is too far away and...I'm too weak to go there. Not at this state. I can't let him see me like this." She said.
"Orihime, please." Momo begged again.
"No is no. Now go away and never visit me again." Orihime turned away from the Princes, stabbing her one chance of freedom in the back.
Princess Hinamor turned and walked away with out another word.
Toshiro opened his eyes. He finally awoke on a saturday morning. He looked out of the window. The sun was barely up. It's sunrise. Everyone is asleep. He sat up and took the oxygen mask off. He wondered where he was but then realized he was in the castle. He got out of bed and stumbled out of the nursey section. He overheard the guards talking about Orihime and Ichigo.
"Can you believe it? Out of all these years, Orihime stood up for Ichigo and practically betrayed us?" A guard said.
"I know. I still can't believe she is still alive down in the Prison Cell." The other said. Orihime, Toshiro thought and snuck down to the Prison Cellsection. His knees gave out and he fell. He breathed heavily, leaning on the prison bars.
"Toshiro? What're you doing here?" Rukia said. Toshiro looked at her.
"What're you...doing here?" He said, in between breaths.
"I got arrested because I started the fire. I know, stupid reason. But nevermind that, why are you hear?" She said.
"I...I'm looking for...Orihime." He said. He's still injured and dizzy from the fire. A warm hand suddenly placed on his neck. He looked at it. It healedthe burn mark on his neck and pulled away. He looked at the cell that he was leaning against. Orihime was infront of him. Looking as thin as ever. It scared him.
"Orihime, I know how to get Ichigo back." He said. Orihime grabbed the bars.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I know where his prison is...and I know how to get there. I have a plan. Are you in?" He asked. She looked down at herself. She regretted feeling weak. She has to be strong for Ichigo. After all, she was inlove with him. She looked at him and grabbed his hands in hers.
"I'm in." She said. He smiled.
