Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Bleach apart from my own characters I created. This is my first time. PLEASE REVIEW! (I don't care if their harsh)

I was surrounded by pure white snow, however it didn't feel cold. Instead I felt like I belonged here. I absorbed the scene. The beauty captured my curiosity as it did in the first time I came here. A woman was standing right behind me. She wore kimono that was so white that she blended into the surrounding. Right beside her a young girl was staring beyond the horizon. Her kimono however was as blue as water.

"What is the problem, Tsukikage?"

I hesitated. How could I put it into words?

"You know what happened. What am I suppose to do now, Kurisutaru Ryuu?"

The woman sighed. She didn't have the worried look that I had, instead she smiled.

"Ignore what he said, he no longer has the power to control you. Listen to what you think is right."

The surrounding disappeared. That was the comforting thing about having a zanpakutou. They would always support you no matter what situation you are in. I sighed. I never knew my own father would become a traitor. Never.

"Taicho!"

I bent down while my lieutenant attempted to hug me. She stumbled a bit before saying, "Why are both my captains so cold? Why could I have someone more lively?"

I simply laughed. My partner was striding over with the expressionless face he always wore, unless you pissed him off by saying that he was small or short.

"Hey Toshiro, is everything alright?"

"Shouldn't I be asking that?"

"Why?"

He sighed.

"Shouldn't you be sad or distressed that Aizen is now no longer an ally?"

I hesitated. I guess I'll miss having a father always beside me, but inside I knew that he was going to be alright on his own and I should be as well. I never liked to make him worry.

"Nah, I'm not sad."

I smiled before staring up into the sky. I just hoped that he was going to be alright on his own…
