Chapter one: Questioning and a new possible enemy

It was an end to a typical day at the soul society and squad ten was being to finish up for the day. Its Captain was of course in his office doing his usual work; when the Lieutenant came busting in.

"Hay Captain are you in here" Rangiku asked.

"Yes Rangiku, can I help you with something" said Toshiro.

Rangiku pouted her lips and put her hands on her hips.

"I can't believe you, what in hells name made you think that I would be perfect for this mission in the world of the living. You know I'm not good at research and scouting" she wined.

"And that's why I'm spending you, I thought that it would do you some good; besides we don't have anyone else available for the mission." Said Toshiro ignoring his Lieutenants protests.

"Ok, ok, it's not like I had anything else planed for the week" she mumbled.

Toshiro stopped working on his paper work and looked up at her and neat his brow at her.

"Is that so, and just what is so important that you would decide not do you job as a soul repaper" He asked.

Rangiku stopped this time and blinked at him in supersized.

"Captain that's not what I meant, and you know it" she said.

"Then quit complaining and get your work done. I noticed you still haven't even touched your paperwork" his voice rising as he said it.

Rangiku clenched her fists "You just don't get it do you?" she yelled.

"Get what" he yelled back as he got up from his desk.

"Never mind you wouldn't understand your just a guy" said Rangiku. "I'll be ready for the mission bright and early tomorrow morning Captain". Then she turned and left without waiting for him to responded.

Toshiro just stood there not sure what to say, and then confusion started to creep into the young Captains mind.

"What does she mean I'm just a guy. I'm not a guy; I'm a… wait who am I'' Toshiro shock his head.

"Oi, Toshiro you don't have time to be worrying about this" he said out loud.

Going back to his desk to finish up his paperwork, when his hell butterfly few into the room and hovered over him. It made its noise and sparkled to let him know that someone was trying to contact him; seeing that it was from the head Captain he answered it.

"Captain Hitsugaya here, what's going on?"

"All Captains are to report for an emergency Captains meeting" said the Lieutenant of Squad one.

"I'll be there as soon as I can" he said.

Then the butterfly left and Toshiro head for the squad one bunkers. By the time that he got there most of the Captains had already there. Taking is place among his fellow Captains he noticed that they were chatting amongst themselves.

"I wonder what this meeting is about. It seems that no one knows what's going on." He thought.

Then just as he finished his thought the head Captain came in and called the meeting to order. The head Captain told them about the sudden change in los Noches that they seemed to be preparing for war and how they had gain so much power in less then 24- hours. As he said this all the Captains were in shock.

"But how can that be, we defected Aizen. There's no way that Los Noches could gain so much power without him" said Jushiro.

"That may be, but according to scanners and the data I've collected Los Noches is preparing for an all-out war" said Captain Kurotsuchi.

"Well it seems that we have a new enemy to defect then" said Toshiro.

"Yes, it appears that way" said Captain Unohana.

The head Captain gave orders for Captain shinji, Captain Kurotsuchi, and Captain Zaraki to go to Los Noches to figure out what was going on. While the rest of the Captains were to stay here and prepare for battle incase this enemy came here.

The Captains nodded in agreement and then went out to care those orders.

Toshiro sighed as he walked out of squad one, it seemed that peace had finally come to the soul society but now they were at war again and this time there would be no Ichigo to bail them out this time either.

"Hay Captain Hitsugaya, you alright you seem a little bit more girly then usual. Do you need me to toughen you up?" Said Captain Zaraki.

Toshiro stopped in his tracks and turned to face Captain Zaraki.

"More girly than usual, what the hell does he mean by that." He thought as rage filled him.

"What was that Captain Zaraki, I'm not sure if I heard you correctly" said Toshiro trying to keep his temper under control.

"by the way Captain Zaraki it doesn't matter what gender you are you still can be tuff." Said Captain unhanora cutting in.

"That's fine, I just noticed that the little Captain was more girly. I mean it's practically written on his face and how he cares himself and you all can figure out the rest" said Zaraki.

Toshiro's rage left as soon as it came, he didn't know what to react to what Zorkie had said.

"Is what Zaraki said true. I'm a guy right aren't I. I not sure if I know anymore" he thought.

Blinking away the confusion he spoke up and "Captain Zaraki if you have a problem with how I act you can take it up with me. But leave the rest of the soul society out of it".

"Captain Hitsugaya is right and we shouldn't be bickering amongst are self we need to be preparing for war in case we have a new enemy." Said Shinji.

The other Captains mumbled in agreement and counited on their way, leaving Toshiro, Zaraki, Unohana, shin by themselves.

Zoike let out a grunt and then walked away without another world. Then Shinn nodded a walked off fallowing Zorkie.

"Captain Hitsugaya if you ever need someone to talk to about your gender or anything; your always welcome to talk to me. "said Unohana smiling with that Momma bear smile that she usually had.

"Thank you Captain Unohana, I will take that under consideration." Said Toshiro.

The walk back to the squad was quit after that and Toshiro was emotionally drained after all that and by now Rangiku had proubly heard what was going on by now.

"I should probably go and talk to Rangiku and apologize for earlier" he thought.

He sighed and put his chest with his arms out on his desk, felling sad and confused. Then out of the conner of his eyes he saw a small letter address to him.
