It was terrible. Everyone in Soul Society felt betrayed. Aizen, Tousen and even Gin had done something that threw everyone off course. They were planning something huge. Unfortunately, no one knew the full the plan that they planned to do. All they knew is they watched the three being carried off by Menos.

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya sat at his desk over thinking. Everything seemed to have happened so fast. Ryoka had gotten into Soul Society and events started to dissolve into one, leading up to the betrayal. They finally trusted the Ryoka as they were there to help whenever it was needed. Toshiro stood up and walked out of his office…and nearly ran into Matsumoto.

"Oh, Toshiro. Were you headed out?"

"Just for a walk."

Matsumoto pressed her lips together as she felt concerned for her captain. "Do you need company?"

"No. I prefer to be alone."

Without another word, Toshiro walked past her and down the corridor. Matsumoto stared after him. As his Lieutenant, she badly wanted to be by his side after everything that's happened. He was concerned for Hinamori's well being. Hinamori had nearly been killed, trusting someone who she felt close to. But who could blame her? She was blinded by exactly what Aizen wanted her to see. Trust. But in the end, Aizen had just about killed her and Toshiro. With the help of Unohana, they both survived. Everything slightly went back to normal as everyone tried to forget what happened, but it was hard. The Ryoka were easily accepted afterwards. The 13 Court Guard Squads were thankful, even though they caused trouble only to stop the execution of Rukia Kuchiki.

Toshiro ended up walking through the forest. His mind was spinning and he just needed a break from everything. He stopped when he saw something at the corner of his eye. It wasn't moving, but it was bright. He turned and walked toward it, pulling out his zanpakuto in the process. He stepped out in a clearing and what he found surprised him. He lowered his zanpakuto and stepped towards the figure lying on the forest floor. He dropped his zanpakuto and ran over to the girl. He knelt down beside her and turned her over on her back. She had wavy, short-length electric blue hair. She carried a zanpakuto, but she wasn't wearing the robes of a Soul Reaper. Toshiro observed her sword. He didn't exactly want to touch it, so looked at what he could see. On the hilt of the sword was a light blue, zigzag line that looked like lightning. His gaze looked at the girl again and that's when he saw the blood. It was running down the side of her head and he also saw it on her legs. Looking up he could see a trail of blood. She must've tried walking somewhere.

He'd never seen the girl before. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he had to get help. He grabbed his zanpakuto and put it away at his hip. Then he cautiously picked up the girl in his arms and turned around. And he left with Flash Step. He quickly made it to Squad 4 and ran into Unohana.

"Captain Hitsugaya. Nice to see you doing well. Who do you have here?"

"I found her in the forest. She needs healing right away."

Unohana gave him a small nod. "Follow me, quickly." She turned around and walked inside of Squad 4's Barracks. Toshiro followed her.

They came upon an empty room and Toshiro laid the girl on the bed. Unohana first started to tend to the girl's head wound. She cleansed the blood first and studied her head. "Her head wound doesn't seem to be too terrible. Just a small blow." Unohana then moved on to tend the girl's leg. She cleaned up the dry blood and checked the wound. "She was bitten by something. Surely it was huge, seeing as she had a great amount of blood loss. She will be fine as long as she is cared for and gets rest."

Toshiro nodded. "Thank you." Before leaving, he took a glance at the girl. She looked so peaceful. Then he left.
