Fearing Death

A young girl who was diagnosed with cancer feared death she knew she wasn't going to live much longer.

The doctors told her and her parents that there was nothing they can do.

It was only matter of time. She knew she had to tell Ichigo who she saw

as a big brother she never had and she was very close to him.

The thought of telling him pained her. But she decided he had to know.

The girl had long black hair her skin was pale from the cancer and she wore a simple

white dress, with a blue ribbon around her waist. Her dress shoes were also blue.

At the Kurosaki's, Ichigo and the others were talking about Aizen, the Arrancars,

and the hollows.

Captain Hitsugaya had just finished explaining to Ichigo Aizen's plans.

They heard the door bell ring and heard Yuzu yell," I'll get it"!

Moments later, a knock on the door and a young girl's voice was heard. Ichigo, "I need to talk you". The voice sounded urgent and Ichigo got up quickly saying "that's my friend Mana.

She had to go to the doctor today she's very sick and opened the door to let her in."

Upon entering the room, she saw that Ichigo wasn't alone.

She quickly bowed introducing herself. "Hi my name is Mana Hiro nice to meet you all".

Hitsugaya's eyes widen for a quick second upon seeing Mana thinking to him self, it can't be.

He got up and walked to Mana saying, "hi I am Torshiro Hitsugaya, the people behind me are, Rangiku Matsumoto, Ikkaku Madarame, Renji Abarai and Yumichika Ayasegawa."

They all stood and bowed as they said in union "nice to meet you."

Ichigo looked freaked out by hearing them talk in union as he thought, "now that's just weird."

Hitsugaya seeing the look on Ichigo's, face. He asked "is something wrong?"

"N… nothing's wrong" was Ichigo's reply.

Ichigo looked at Mana and asked, "How did it go?"

Mana looked down as she said Ichigo, "can we talk alone?"

The sadness he heard in her voice, he knew it was bad. He looked at the others and said "give me a second as he walked out the room to talk to Mana."

Five minuets pasted when they heard crying from Mana and Ichigo telling her to go home and get some rest that he would check on her later.

When the door opened they saw Ichigo and his eyes were shadowed sadness was in his voice as he spoke, "she's dieing, the cancer has spread beyond repair."

"The doctors gave her a month to live…and I can't do anything to save her".

Seeing the sad look Ichigo had, Hitsugaya motioned for everyone to leave. He knew that

Ichigo needed to be alone.

As Hitsugaya was leaving himself, he said; "Kurosaki, we'll leave you to be alone.

Right now you seem to need it. We'll talk later."

Before he could leave, he heard, "Captain Hitsugaya, wait"!! Shocked to hear Ichigo

call him by his rank. He turned to Ichigo, "Yes"?

Ichigo now sitting on his bed looking at the young Captain with a pleading look on

his face as he asked "would mind watching Mana"?

"If she dies I want you to be the one to perform Consol on her. I…I Cant"…

he trailed off.

Hitsugaya understood what he was trying to say, "I will do as you ask Kurosaki,

but I will ask don't avoid Mana. She needs you now more the ever".

"I know that. And I am going to go check on her later. I just want you to be there

for her too".

"Something tells me you need to be there for her too. It is just a feeling I have.

I don't why, so don't ask".

"Very well Kurosaki, Call me when you go see Mana I will accompany you to see

her".

Thank you, Toshiro. As Hitsugaya was walking out the room he said; "you're welcome.

And Kurosaki, It's Captain Hitsugaya to you". And with that he left leaving Ichigo

alone.

Hitsugaya's POV

As I walk towards Orihime's I couldn't help but think of that girl Mana.

How is it possible? Is she who I think she is or she her reincarnation?

I need to know. If it is her, I have protect her from Aizen.

Reincarnation or not, I wont let her down again.

If he finds out...then soul society and Karakura Town is doomed
