Chapter: Cat and Mouse

He ran along the hardwood floors of the ramps in the Seireitei, his white hair whipping in the gentle wind. His breaths panted on his lips as he looked in each room for what he was looking for. His white captain's jacket flew out behind him as he vaulted himself over the side of the railing, dropping down onto the next level. "Damn it! Come out!" He shouted as he saw a flash of crimson around the corner. "Nii-san!" He shouted and ran after the red blur.

"Ha!" Renji Abarai jumped out from behind the corner, his face stretched in a grin. "Damn… it's just you." The red head's face sunk. The white haired boy frowned back and rested a hand on his hip, tilting his body slightly. "So you can't catch her either?" Renji laughed.

"That's a load of bull… how is it that she keeps turning our own game against us?" Toshiro Hitsugaya complained. The white haired youth made a face.

"Cat and mouse is kinda like that." Renji grinned then straightened up as his captain walked by, reading a scroll.

"At ease Renji." Byakuya chided as he walked past. "Continue what you were doing." Then Toshiro and Renji watched him walk off.

"Race you!" Renji took off running in the other direction. Toshiro groaned and ran after him. Their socked feet sliding on the hardwood. "GAH!" A sliding door opened in front of them and Captain Kenpachi Zaraki stepped out, for once his usual accessory, his lieutenant, was missing from his shoulder. "ZA-RA-KI! WATCH OUT!" Renji slid to a stop barely inches from the captain.

"What are yo-" Toshiro turned his feet and skid to a stop, sliding to just a few centimeters away from the older man. "Kenpachi." The white haired boy grinned and the scarred captain looked down at them.

"Taking part in childish games Hitsugaya?" Zaraki questioned, his bells nearly brushing the doorframe. Toshiro made a face.

"Just trying to catch someone." The younger captain replied. Zaraki nodded wisely. "See ya!" He ran off after Renji, sliding around a corner.

"Silly kids." Ikkaku Madarame shook his head with a sigh. The bald man then followed his captain as he walked off.

"Renji! Where is she?" Toshiro called to the red headed man. When Abarai shrugged the white haired captain stomped his foot. "Damn it!" Then he stopped as he heard a giggle.

"Captain!" Renji called and beckoned him over. "Did you hear that Hitsugaya?" Renji's head was tilted upwards. When the younger man nodded Renji smiled. "I know where she is." He then took off in another direction completely.

In the meantime a ways away a young woman sat in the branches of a sakura tree. Her red lips were curved into a smiled as she bit into an apple. "They'll never find me." Her scarlet hair was pulled up into a clip at the back of her head and her hair splayed out in the back. Her bangs brushed the left side of her face, sometimes hiding her left eyes from sight. Her brilliant azure eyes stood out against her lightly tanned skin. The black rings that surrounded her irises stood out even more against the sky blue. Her dark lashes framed a ring around her lids, the black liner on her eyes simply magnifying them. A long white captain's jacket was pulled over her shinigami uniform. Her uniform was similar to Soi Fon's as it was backless and was held up by a halter strap. She, however, did not wear anything under it other than her traditional white bindings around her breasts.

The bindings did little to hide her breasts. Being that they were rather large she was designated one of the sexiest shinigami. However, she resented this fact, saying that her breasts caused her to receive less respect from her peers. After the captain of the 9th Division disappeared Captain Kazumi Hasegawa, the head of the noble Hasegawa clan took his place. She was extremely young for a captain's position, as was one of her closest friends, Toshiro Hitsugaya. She smiled as she heard her pursuers coming. She dropped from her perch with a grunt and stood for a second, throwing her apple away. Then she launched herself into the air and bounded off in another direction.

"RENJI! THERE SHE IS!" Toshiro pointed up as he saw her jump.

"HAHAHA! ROAR ZABEMARU!" He slid his hand along his zanpakuto's length then in one swift motion the sword extended and whipped up into the air. She saw it coming and blocked the harmless attack. "DAMN!" He shifted again, sliding one foot back and whipped Zabemaru back into the air. This time his attack did what it was supposed to, it wrapped around her right upper arm and ripped her ribbon and pulled her down to their level.

"GOTCHA NII-SAN!" Toshiro laughed. The young woman disentangled herself from Renji's sword and stood, laughing as well.

"Yeah… yeah you did." She rubbed the back of her head. "But of course. I did avoid you boys for three days." She grinned and Renji wrapped an arm around her neck.

"Yeah… I get the feeling though… that you just gave up." He grinned angrily and she nodded, a fox like smile on her face.

"Yeah… I felt sorry for you both." She chuckled and Toshiro groaned.

"So this means that… we're it again." Toshiro hung his head. The older captain nodded. Renji laughed at him.

"Unless we could wrangle someone else into playing." Yachiru appeared at the female captain's elbow, she also had a ribbon tied around her arm. "Right Nii-chan?" The red haired woman nodded.

"So Hasegawa. You wanna play another game?" The older man questioned, his eyes twinkling.

"Against you Abarai? Any day." Her eyes narrowed playfully and Toshiro slapped his forehead. "What's wrong Shiro-Bozu?" She placed her hands on her hips.

"DIDN'T I ASK YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT?" The younger boy shouted and she smiled teasingly.

"Maybe… once… but you know I don't listen to commands." She leaned forward, her eyes narrowed jovially. Toshiro huffed at her and put on a grumpy face. Momo Hinamori watched from the walkway above them with a soft smile on her face. Toshiro always acted so seriously all the time… it was good to know that he could act like a kid with somebody. She watched as the white haired boy waved his arms in the air before Kazumi wrapped an arm around his neck and gave him a noogie. Their shouts traveled all the way up to her, with Yachiru and Renji's laughter mixed in.

"At it again are they?" Jushiro Ukitake walked by in company of Byakuya Kuchiki. The black haired man nodded solemnly. "How fun… I wish I could play." The white haired man grinned childishly and Byakuya looked at him strangely.

"Why in the world would you want to- no… never mind I know you better than that." The captain of the 6th division sighed and shook his head. The white haired captain looked over at Hinamori and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Lieutenant Hinamori? Why don't you go join their game?" Jushiro grinned, his jovial smile glittered.

"Captain Ukitake! You're feeling okay today?" Her eyes grew worried. Jushiro nodded.

"One good day." He smiled. "Every once in a while I have one good day. Or maybe two. But if you and your captain would visit more often I would feel better all the-GLUH!" Byakuya bonked him on the back of his head.

"Perverted old man." The black haired man shook his head and dragged Jushiro off. Hinamori's dinner plate eyes nearly covered her face. To think… the captains she so idolized acted just like everyone else. Well… maybe it was just those two. She then realized that it had been quiet from below for quite some time now. She looked down and noticed that no one was down below her anymore.

"Drat! Why can't she stay in one place!?" Hinamori sighed, putting one hand to her forehead. Then she ran off, trying to find her captain.

Renji stumbled slightly as water splatter on the already slippery wood. He slid for a second and regained his balance. The red head looked around him then looked up as rain splattered on his face. "Rain?" He questioned as the storm winds picked up whipping his uniform pants around his legs and causing his sleeves to flap wildly. He shifted his head to look over his shoulder and up slightly. "Hmmm…" His eyes narrowed as he saw three people walking and talking as they walked the wooden paths. He allowed his body to continue through and flipped back onto the wooden path, avoiding the game of cat and mouse for now.

A ways away Toshiro ran down one of the wood lined paths, sliding around a corner as his jacket whipped around him, pulling out his sword. "Damn." He kept running when he saw nothing in his path. He was taller than before, his body had lengthened and grown more muscular, his attacks now were perhaps more powerful than ever before. Years had passed since the red alert alarm had rung, announcing that devastating attack on the Seireitei. Toshiro remembered that day all too well. He chuckled thinking back on it now. He slid around the corner. He, Hinamori and Renji had returned to the Seireitei after nearly 6 months of being in the human world. Since they had returned everything had been peaceful. Considering they didn't have so much guard duty to do and the security was starting to relax a little. Except for the occasional hollow appearance apparently on Rukia's end the world was fairly peaceful.

"Yoo hooo!" He heard Kazumi's voice and swung around only to have his sword clash with hers. "Good reflexes grasshopper." She teased. Their jackets cracked in the harsh winds of the storm, their hair and uniforms whipping around like crazy. Her hair, like a nimbus, floated in the winds, slapping her cheeks and neck. The rumor was that Toshiro had trained, even as a captain, under Kazumi. Which if it was true would have been embarrassing before as she hadn't even been seated, much less passed the Shinigami school yet. Just before the attack on the Seireitei Kazumi had come out of no where and passed through her courses in just 8 months and flew through the final exams. She then immediately took the fifth seat in squad 6 then soon after Tosen left the head of the Hasegawa clan approached General Yamamoto and persuaded him to give her the squad nine captain's spot.

"Grasshopper? Did Renji break your hair clip?" Toshiro grunted and heaved his body, knocking her back but not off balance as he had hoped and she swung her sword at him only to be blocked again. Toshiro shivered slightly in the icy wind, already soaked to the bone from the freezing rain. But before he would give her the spot he said she would have to prove her strength and in a breathtaking moment Kazumi almost instantaneously defeated Byakuya Kuchiki in a devastating match that had been decided from the beginning. Since that day no one, except Toshiro and Renji, ever saw her use her final release and she even rarely used her initial release, instead choosing to wield the lighter katana form of her zanpakuto.

"That's what I said Shiro-Bozu." She grinned evilly and he thrust his sword past her guard, or so he thought and attempted to slash the ribbon she had tied to her upper right arm. The girl flipped back away from him and landed on the railing, fabric flying in the air.

"NO!" Toshiro looked down and saw that she had cut his ribbon. "I'm dead! I hate you!" He grouched and she laughed, still crouching on the railing, her long white jacket whipping in the wind behind her. Her uniform was plastered to her body tightly and Toshiro noticed this, his teenaged brain then grasped the he was looking at a fully-grown woman… and he could see… most everything. Her lips curved into a smile as she noticed his gaze.

"I know… you're out of the game Shiro-Bozu and hey… Bozu… see something you like?" Her voice was taunting, teasing as she shocked him back into reality and he blushed furiously. She flipped back and disappeared below the walkway with a haughty laugh. Toshiro frowned and shook his head, looking at his ribbon as it suddenly whipped in the air.

"What's with all this weird weather lately?" The white haired boy looked up and out over the Seireitei and squinted. "It's getting dark… it's raining… that's weird." Toshiro blinked as the wind picked up again, whipping the ribbon in his hand. His white jacket whisked in the wind, cracking in the air sharply as his hair blew back from his face.

"Honestly I don't know." Renji walked over to him, his uniform pants shuddering in the wind making a slapping noise. Kazumi and Yachiru walked over, watching the huge rolling black clouds build over the Seireitei.

"Ah man! I guess that mean's the game is over." Kazumi sighed and placed a hand on her forehead. "We'll finish as soon as it clears." She grinned and Renji nodded.

"Oh well… at least we have some good news! Guess who just arrived?" Renji grinned. Toshiro and Kazumi exchanged looks and smiled mischievously.

"All Captains Are To Report To Conference Room One! All Lieutenants Are To Report To Conference Room 13! I Repeat All Captains Are To Report To Conference Room One! All Lieutenants Are To Report-" The voice came over the speakerphone.

"All captains to room one?" Kazumi questioned and looked at Toshiro. The white haired captain simply shrugged.

"Conference room one… isn't that on the other side of the Seireitei?" Renji questioned. Kazumi looked up, thinking. "Yep… I'm pretty sure you're gonna be late to that meeting Captains Hasegawa and Hitsugaya." He grinned, his fingers cradling his chin. However when he opened his eyes they were gone. "Or not."
