Declaimer: I do NOT own Bleach nor Kyo Kara Maoh!
Summary: Toushiro was sparring with Matsumoto when he started glowing and passed out. When he woke up he was no longer in the training room. He wasn't even in soul society. Where was he?
Note: Might be a little OOC, but I tried. This is also my first real story written. SO I hope you injoy.

"Talking" Person talking to their zanpakuto
I, Toushiro Hitsugaya Captain of the 10th Division, slowly walked through the barracks to the training rooms. It is raining today so we will be inside training today. I am going to watch the new recruits train. which my lieutenant was supposed to be doing. Sigh...wondering where she has gone to now. Last I saw her she was practically prancing out of the office saying bye captain in that sing-song voice of hers. I sigh again, god that woman how does she get away without doing her work. Better yet why do I let her get away with it?
"Because she is a good friend of yours, and because you are a good person" Hyourinmaru said.
"If she was a good friend she would do her side of the paperwork" I shot back.
"Jeez you didn't have to snap master" playfully looking hurt he stood up on the ice "and your just mad because you have to do paperwork"
I mentally sighed "Thats my point, most of that paperwork is hers and she didn't do yesterdays. So that leave twice as much today."
"She is still a friend of yours. Are you feeling ok master? Usually you might put up a fuse about doing her paperwork, but it usually never bothers you this much and don't lie saying your fine I can tell your not completely fine." He looked very seriously at me. Which is unusual since he is usually more playful. I just made it outside the training room doors. Today we are inside since it is raining outside. I stood at the doors and answered with a sigh. I have been sighing a lot today, maybe its my headache.
"I don't know I feel strange." I thought for a minute to gather my thoughts "Imy body feels tingly. Well not my body more like my skin, its like i have to much power stirring around me. And its making my edgy I feel like somethings going to happen as well, but I can't tell if its good or bad." I hear a -hummm- from him, but I have opened the door to the training room. Entering I see Matsumoto a few meters away watching due spar and giving directions. Hummm thats where she is. I firgured she would be shopping or out drinking with her drinking buddy's.
"Caaaptain" startled out of my thoughts. I see Matsumoto bounding her way over, realizing what she was going to I tried to dodge. Keyword tried. the next thing I know she grabbed me and my face was shoved into her cleavage. Instantly I can't breath, its very difficult to do. I struggled but that didn't work, she being twice my size and having the advantage of her big bust stopping my movement. Luckily she let me go fast. Finally able to breath I glared daggers at her. Of course she wasn't affected the slightest. I sigh. I guess being around me for all these years has made her immune. "oh captain its soooo good to see you" she sing-songed.
"Matsumoto " I tried to stay calm so as not to freeze the innocent by slanders in the room. "You seen me just a few hours ago, when you skipped doing your paperwork again."
She pouted "bu~ut captain you know how I hate paperwork. I can't stand it, sitting still signing paper after paper" she whined. I sighed, I could feel the headache coming. "oh captain" she grabbed my arm and dragged me to the middle of the room. "How about we spar. We haven't sparred in ages" she said dragging me along. I really didn't have time to pull out of her grasp. The recruits quickly got out of the way clearing a space for us and looking very curious. And kinda startled, I think that is the ones who haven't meet me and their shocked by my age. People might hear I am one of the youngest captain and the youngest to become captain, but they still seem to be shocked because they really don't truly believe it until they see me.
She finally released me and walked away a few meters putting space between us. She turned around taking that serious expression when she is about the enter battle or spar with me. She took out haineko and got into her fighting stance. "Come on captain we haven't sparred in a few weeks."
"Come on master lets have some fun. It might take some of that irritation out of you too. And as she said you haven't sparred in a few weeks and your spiritual pressure needs some release" Hyourinmaru cut in with a little excitement in his voice at the sound of a spar. I sighed knowing he's right and that it could also be the irritation and the build up of my spiritual pressure thats making me feel uneasy today.
I reached back and pulled Hyourinmaru out of his sheath and got in my stance. I could see Matsumoto's slight victory of getting me to agree to a spar. Then it was gone and she lunged straight on. I stepped and quickly stopped Haineko with a down slash. Metal hitting Metal was heard. Hyourinmaru hummed with content. I quickly thrush up trying to get her off balance. She seeing what I was doing flash stepped back a meter. She didn't have much time to gain her footing when I attacked with a wild slash I could see her eyes widen slightly. Thats what I wanted. I quickly used it with a kick in her stomach. She took a step back quickly gaining her balance, as expected.
I jumped up with Hyourinmaru raised in the air for a downward slash. She stopped Hyourinmaru with Haineko. I quickly twisted Hyourinmaru to try to force her to let go. Seeing this she bended down and twirled to the side making her lose her balance, but keep her hold. I landed on the floor and did a side sweep using her off balance. She stopped me, but not well I was able to cut her uniform a little. We both jumped back a few meters putting distance. I watched her closely seeing if she was going to attack and thinking counter measures and attack moves that I could use. Instead of allowing her to attack me I attacked. But to the side to get her to shift a little. She shifted. I attacked. we fought like that for a while attacking, and countering each other. I didn't gain much more ground on her, besides a few more cuts. Thanks to my small statue.
I jumped back from a side swipe, barely missing me. I put my left hand on the floor and did a back flip away and settled on my feet. I don't know how long we have been at it, but it really didn't matter because we could do this for hours and still not be tired. With our high amount of spiritual pressure and us being in top condition. I looked at her and she pulled Haineko in front of her.
"Growl, Haineko" she released. The metal part Haineko quickly dissolved leaving only the hilt. You can see an ash cloud form around her looking like fog instead of ash. I could feel her spiritual pressure rise with the shinki release. She raised the hilt and the ash moved with the movement . I watched this all carefully a waiting the signal that she would give of sending Haineko at me. Down came the hilt, and the ash came at me. I rose Hyourinmaru and cut through. I flash stepped about 5 meters away and jumped in the air with Hyourinmaru high above my head "Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyourinmaru" I released. A magnificent ice dragon formed with red eyes glowing down at her. I brought my sword down and Hyourinmaru followed my command, straight for the ash.
Some of the ash became frozen from my attack, but Matsumoto put more spiritual pressure into the ash unfreezing some of the ice. She brought the hilt up and did a side swipe the ash quickly followed. Coming right at me. I brought up Hyourinmaru shielding me from her attack. I quickly went in for another attack. I froze. Matsumoto stopped her attack as well seeing my reaction. A strange feeling came through me, that tingling that I kept feeling all day coursing through my body at a much higher rate. I started to glow a faint blue.
"Master what is this?" I heard Hyourinmaru. He sounded sightly shaken "I don't know" I answered surprisingly calm. I heard Matsumoto yelling my name in the background "Captain!" and thats the last I heard before darkness over took me.
I awoke with the sun in my eyes. Wait sun? How can that be? if I am in my room it should be dark? I bolted upright. I heard a gasp and what sounded like someone falling down. I was too startled by what I seen that I didn't look who it was. Something was wrong, I was not in my room. I thought for a minute remembering the spar with Matsumoto. Me glowing blue and blacking out.
"Master I don't think we are in Soul Society anymore. I don't feel any spiritual pressure here." He sounded calm, but I can feel he was worried. Indeed he was right. So that leaves the question where am I? Are we in the world of the living? "I don't think so master it feels different."
I was just about to answer when I felt something tap my shoulder. I look up quickly seeing a girl around 17 I am guessing. She has brownish-blond hair and bright blue eyes. "Do you know where I am, Miss?" I asked in my usual cold distant tone. She jumps back. "I think you scared the poor girl master" He said teasingly. "Shut up Hyourinmaru" I snapped at him. He just chuckles and curls up on the ice. I look at the girl and sigh. I stand up and offer my hand to her to help her up. She looks unsure for a few seconds then accepts my offer. She smiles, but it is very hesitant. I just look up at her. I hate being short, but I can't do nothing about it. She starts speaking and I realize I don't understand a word that she is saying. Huh I thought I knew all the languages, in Soul Society and also the living. I guess this tells me I am not in either world. So that leaves my with the same questions where am I? How did I get here. I thought for a minute of my day so far. Nothing seems to pop up.
"Maybe it has something to do with the tingling." said Hyourinmaru. Well that could be it. I was glowing before I passed out. Great just what I need. I have to get back. "The girl is looking at you funny master." Just as he said this she waves her hand in front of my face startling me. How did I forget that she was here? I am a genius for crust sake. I hear Hyourinmaru chuckle and I frown. Startling the girl.
She says something again. This is irritating. How am I going to communicate with this girl and find out more information where I am? Wait, she can see me? I look down to see that I am still in my uniform and I check to see if Hyourinmaru was on my back. No, no he wasn't. "Hyourinmaru where are you?" I ask frantically. "By your feet little dragon." I sigh in relief and pit him up. The girl that has been talking through this ordeal shuts up at the sight of the sword. I quickly sheath Hyourinmaru hoping that she won't get scared. Well it seems she can see me. Wonder if the other people here can see me?
I get my answer when a man on a grey-black horse rides up. Wait horse? This place gets stranger by the second. The man gets off the horse and comes over he looks at me strangely and starts talking to the girl. He is tall with blonde hair I am guessing asking the girl who I am judging by how he keeps looking at me I also notice he looks at Hyourinmaru a few times. He doesn't seem fazed. I hate to say it, but its the way people see me. That he is used to seeing children with swords, wouldn't be surprised since he also has a sword on his hip. Or he could think I can't do nothing with Hyourinmaru. His sword looks more like the western style than the usual Soul reeper. By this time I am irked and it doesn't help with Hyourinmaru laughing at me about the children part. "Shut up" I snapped at him again. It doesn't help he just laughs even harder. He even fell on his side.
The man turns to me and says something. I tried to piece together what he was saying, but if you don't know the language at all it doesn't help much. He stops and looks at my seriously, awaiting an answer I presume. "I suggest you say something little dragon." he sounded completely amused. I glowered at his tone. "Don't call me little." I snap. He just laughs. It seems he his getting his humor back. I sigh and look up at the man and decide to speak hopefully it will help, most likely not.
"I do not understand your language. And if I do not understand your language by me speaking will not help." He looked startled for a second then his eyes widen until he starts laughing. I was startled, what can I say? Laughing was not what I expected from him. He stops suddenly and steps up to me and puts both his hands on either side of my head. I didn't do anything to startled by his change. And then I felt pain explode in my head. I hear Hyourinmaru roar in my head. Then he released his hands at the pain stops. I start to reach for Hyourinmaru ready to slice off his head.
"Well now you should be able to understand me now, boy." He said. I was completely shocked that I didn't even react to the word -boy. He looks at me. " I am Adelbert (AU: is that how you spell his name? And how do you spell the rest of it?) I got to say I am very shocked that a little kid like you are the next demon king."
I would have commented on the little kid part, but I was once again shocked. Next demon king? I am getting tired of being shocked. I looked up at him with my cold steady teal eyes. "What are you talking about? Next demon king?" I ask and wait for his answer. He seems startled that I could talk, oh well. And the girl behind him seems very confused.
He composes his face. "Well what do we have here a King who doesn't know he's king." I am not liking this guy. I can see something in his eyes that I don't quite like. I get myself prepared to defend myself when I hear a yell and more horse hooves coming this way.
"Leave him a lone Adelbert!" I turn to see four horses and riders heading this way and swords drown. Now what? Do I have to fight these guys now? The one in the front has brown hair and is wearing a brownish military uniform. The men on the left and the back is also wearing the same brown military uniforms. The man on the left has black hair and wearing a black looking uniform. And they all look determined. I start to shift where I am away from this Adelbert person and can still take this new threat on as well, but I didn't have to since the guy Adelbert has got on his horse. I turn back around when my eyes caught movement in the air. I look up and see a sight that even I haven't seen. A flying skeleton was there. Yes, a flying skeleton. luckly I am sorta used of running into weird things and was able to keep some of the shock off my face. I repeat some of it.
"Great the calvary's here" he mutters sarcastically. He charged up too the man in the front. Their swords clash."So lord Conrad Weller. Does mister brave still chose to hang out with cowards." Adelbert pushes down and to the side with his sword and they both back up their horses back a ways. Their swords separating. They both look very serious. I was to interested in the fight that I didn't keep an eye on the flying skeleton. So when I did remember to keep an eye on it, it has lifted me up in the air. Stupid, How did I forget that? God its a flying skeleton for crist sake! I start to struggle to get free.
"Master trust this being." I stop. "Why should I? For all we know I am being flown off to some enemy or something." I shot back. I start to struggle again. God I wish I was taller or something. "Master it seems to be following the orders of those for people who came." I stop again and think. "So what your saying is that I should let this thing carry me off and find out what these people want with me?" I ask.
"Yes and hopefully they can have a way back home for us." ok well I have two choices go with these people and skeleton, or get free and find a way on my own. I go for the latter I can always escape later. "Ok Hyourinmaru I will listen to you, but be ready." I say. "Yes I will be ready."
After a while we finally come upon a cottage and some other buildings. And the skeleton and I start to head down to the ground. The skeleton puts me down gently. I take a quick look studying my surroundings and looking for escape routs. I also notice that everyone doesn't seem to be coming with ropes to tie me up or anything, good. I do notice them looking at Hyourinmaru and I see them noting the size of me. And also comparing me to the size of Hyourinmaru. I Love the size of Hyourinmaru, but it irritates me when people size Hyourinmaru and me. I hear him chuckle. I mentally scowl at him.
The door to the cottage opens and a man wearing white and has lavender hair comes up to me and bows. Ok he bows why is he bowing. He looks up and seeing my confusion, he smiles. He kinda reminds me of Captain Ukitake of the 13th Division when he smiles he also kinda looks like him. Except the hair color.
He sighs a ver contented one. "Your majesty. You're hear. I am Günter von Christ and it is an honor to finally meet you." What? Did he just call me Your majesty? Hyourinmaru was very confused as well. "Words alone cannot express how much I have looked forward to this day" He looked at me waiting for my response when he noticed my Hyourinmaru. He stood up looking very curious. "Your world teaches swordsmanship Your majesty?" I look up with one eyebrow raised, but do not answer him. "Master to get information you will have to talk to him." Hyourinmaru stated. I sigh. "oh my does he not understand me? Oh don't worry we will get that fixed up in a bit." He looked like he was panicking and going to pass out. "master I think you should stop his worrying." I sigh again.
"I understand you perfectly well." I said completely bored. He stops and relaxes.
"Oh thats wonderful! How did you learn our language my I ask Your majesty?" said Günter. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and stat that he already asked the question.
I looked to the side to the people watching very curiously. I look back to Günter. "I don't know. I meet this man called Adelbert who put his hand on my head and the next thing I know I understand what he was saying." I know I sounded like a child a little bit there but oh well. I didn't feel like thinking any more and I was very tired after a long day. Was it a day? I will just say day. Günter looked at the brown hair man beside him with a questioning-shocked gaze.
"Yes Adelbert was there he almost took him away before I found him." The man with brown hair said.
"Your majesty did he harm you at all?" asked Günter.
"No he didn't except the part where he put his hands on my head, but other than that nothing else." I said. Gunter looked relieved by my answer. I looked at the brown haired man. "Master his name is not the brown haired man." I sigh. "What else am I going to call him since I don't know his name?" I heard him chuckle. "Master you must be tired if you don't remember the fight between him and that Adelbert man." I thought back and instantly knew what Hyourinmaru was talking about. Adelbert had said his name, his name is lord Conrad Weller. Thats right.
"Gunter may i ask why do you keep calling me Your majesty?" I ask. Gunter looked at Conrad then back to me.
"Your majesty, would you not to rest first before we explain. So you can be more rested and more alert?" He looked at me waiting. He is right I will be more alert. I nod and he smiles and starts to turn around to the cottage. "Right this way Your majesty."
I followed them both inside. Gunter took me to a door and gestured inside "This is your room Your majesty. Sleep well." I came inside and realized the bed was just like the beds in the world of the living. Off the floor, no futon. Conrad and Gunter closed the door and left me alone. I got in bed with Hyourinmaru cradled in my arms and went to sleep.
