I have a new story! It's Bleach: The Diamond Dust Rebellion Hitsu-Hina Style! hehehe
I was just sad when I saw that Momo didn't even appear in a movie that concerns her childhood friend! So, I made this one. I also gave up on creating a Hitsu-Hina Fade to Black. It was harder than I thought. Sorry, guys. Anyway, I'll try to make this a good one. ^_^
Ceremonial sounds were echoing through the sky as a cloud formation soared in the sky. A masked person danced while the other souls carried the poles and walked. A temple was being carried by the souls walking ahead. Rangiku used shunpo to go to her comrades on the ground.
"How's the event going?" She said as three of her comrades looked at her.
"All is well, Matsumoto-fuku-taichou."
"This is an important job. Don't get lazy on me."
-"Hai."-
"So, what is the King's Seal?"
"With all the security surrounding it, it kinda stands out." One said.
"I dunno who's got authority over this but..." Another one said.
"It's a treasure belonging to the Royal Family. Anyone not of the Royal Family is forbidden to even look at it. It's a treasure that's never been seen by the outside world. We have no idea of what power it has, or even how to use it. But every few decades, they suddenly decide to change where it's being stored. The power to set things in motion. That's what the King's Seal is." Rangiku said as she looked at the sky then back at her comrades who were amazed by what she said.
"Gotcha! Actually, I have no idea either. But we, the 10th Squad, have been assigned this mission. Stay focused and keep a sharp lookout."
-"Hai."-
Rangiku then used Shunpo while Toushirou was standing at the sky. She appeared next to him.
"Taichou."
"Matsumoto?"
"All lookouts are reporting things are normal." She then looked at the cloud formation.
"The closer you get, the more impressive it looks, huh?" She added.
"Authority never goes anywhere without fanfare."
"Not you too, Taichou... If they hear you, they'll get mad."
Toushirou closed his eyes then opened them again.
"Anyways, you need to- What?" Toushirou said as he looked at the back when he felt an attack coming. A ball of fire hit the palanquin being carried by the souls who were walking on the cloud formation.
"Matsumoto!"
"Hai."
The both of them used Shunpo and went to the cloud formation. A big ball of fire as well as swirling ball of lightning were burning and electrocuting the souls, thus killing them. Rangiku stopped in front of a burning palanquin when her comrades came.
"Fuku-taichou!"
"Surround it."
-"Hai."- Her comrades then went to the burning palanquin and searched for the attacker. Rangiku saw a whip being held by a blue-haired girl who appeared to be an Arrancar. The girl transmitted lightning to the whip on Rangiku's wrist.
"Unare, Haineko." Haineko's ash blocked the lightning as the attacks clashed.
Toushirou on the other hand stopped the attack from the fire ball with his zanpakutou. A red-haired Arrancar appeared with her sword against Toushirou's Hyourinmaru which was emitting mist.
"Who are you?" Toushirou said as Hyourinmaru started freezing the opponent's blade. The girl giggled as she jumped away.
"Wait!" Toushirou went after her and stopped on the roof of a burning palanquin. He felt an unknown reiatsu then he was pierced by another opponent's sword. Toushirou jumped back as a masked Shinigami appeared from under the roof's remnants.
"Who are you?" Toushirou asked, wide-eyed.
They then started a sword fight led by the masked Shinigami. The other members of the 10th Squad as well as the souls who survived the attack looked at them. Rangiku then came.
"Where's the King's Seal?"
"I don't know."
"Taichou." She said as she looked at Toushirou who was fighting the attacker. When their swords clashed with each other, the masked guy shook his head.
"This brings back memories."
"Show your face!" Toushirou said as he tried to take the mask off but the attacker jumped away from him then used Shunpo.
"Freeze!"
"Taichou!" Rangiku said as she looked at him with worry. Toushirou stopped and looked at the ground then regretfully at her before he used Shunpo.
"Taichou!" Rangiku said as she tried to go after him but the explosion stopped her. She just stood there, looking worried.
"The King's Seal!" One said.
"Contain the fire!" Another ordered.
"Hai." The other souls put the fire out.
"Matsumoto-fuku-taichou, I'm very sorry. We let them get away. There were many casualties. Fuku-taichou?" A member of the 10th Squad said while kneeling down and looking at Rangiku. Rangiku seemed to be in a light shock because of what happened.
Two days later, Ichigo jumped in the sky while looking at the woods. He then landed on the ground. He looked from left to right then touched the space between him and the trees.
"What's this?" He said as he touched the barrier. He then scratched the back of his head.
"Man... They'd better not be messing around close to my house." He took Zagetsu out and slashed the barrier three times. The space between the cut was revealed to be a hidden place. He stepped inside and looked around wide-eyed.
"What the hell happened?" Inside the barrier were the burned palanquins and the corpse of the souls who died in the attack.
While he was looking, people from the Secret Mobile Corps came and surrounded him.
"You guys... The Secret Mobile Corps?" He said as the officers holded the hilts of their zanpakutou as they took two steps closer to him.
"Easy! I'm the Substitute Shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo!"
"Halt!" A voice said. The officers from the S.M.C. stopped and gave way. Soi Fon walked and Ichigo looked at her.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, what are you doing here?" Soi Fon said as she stood infront of him.
"You're..."
"2nd Squad Captain and Commander-in-Chief pf the Secret Mobile Corp, Soi Fon. I believe I put a barrier here." She said as she saw the space that Ichigo sliced to enter.
"So, what happened? What's going on here?" Ichigo said as he looked around.
"Normally, there would be no reason to tell a Substitute Shingami about this but... it's something that concerns every Shinigami there is. The treasure of the Royal Family was stolen. It's called the King's Seal. We have not been informed about the real powers this treasure has but we're pretty sure it can cause chaos to the world if someone releases this, especially if the one who's holding it has ill motives. The person who's mostly related to this is the 10th Squad Captain, Hitsugaya Toushirou."
"What'd you say? How...?" Ichigo said, wide eyed. Outside the barrier, Uryuu was walking. Of course, he noticed that there was a barrier surrounding the area. A member of the S.M.C. approached Soi Fon and whispered something to her. Soi Fon nodded and looked at Ichigo.
"If you find it, let me know right away."
"W-Wai-" Ichigo said but Soi Fon did the hand signs and broke the genjutsu. Ichigo was left standing at the woods. Uryuu looked at him.
"Kurosaki?" Knowing the owner of the voice, Ichigo looked at him.
"Ishida? What are you doing here?"
"I've been aware there was a barrier erected here since yesterday. What happened?"
"Right, well..."
Just as when he was about to tell Uryuu about the whole thing, it started snowing, or so what Ichigo thought. They held their hands out.
"It's snowing."
"No, he's just been hiding his reiatsu."
"Huh? Reiatsu?"
Ichigo said as they heard someone stepping on the leafy ground. They looked at the person and Ichigo was wide-eyed. Toushirou walked then fell on the ground. Uryuu and Ichigo approached him.
"Toushirou? Hey! Toushirou!"
"Damn... them..."
In the 4th Squad, Isane was busy taking Unohana's place because she was in a meeting with the other captains of the Gotei 13.
"Isane-san..."
"Wha- Hinamori-fuku-taichou! You're awake!" Isane said as she approached Momo who had just woken up from her coma.
"Where's Hitsugaya-kun?"
"That's..."
"I had a nightmare. Hitsugaya-kun... in that one... he left... Soul Society... his squad... then... the next one... he... he died... Isane-san... please tell me... Where's Hitsugaya-kun? Where is he?" Momo said as she looked at Isane.
"Th-That's... still..."
"Please Isane-san. I need to know where he is. I have a very bad feeling about this."
In the 1st Squad, all the captains were there except for Toushirou and Rangiku was the one in there in his stead. Soi Fon was the one giving her report.
"I see."
"Yes. We have thoroughly searched the area but found no trace of the King's Seal. We believe the attackers made off with it and based on the reports about the target, we have the pursuit units following. There is an evidence that the man in charge of defense, 10th Squad Captain Hitsugaya Toushirou, deliberately and personally moved to erase his own reitasu from the scene."
"Please wait! You can't be suggesting Captain Hitsugaya abandoned his duty!" Rangiku said as she looked at Soi Fon. She couldn't just tolerate the words that Soi Fon said about her captain, especially when they think that he really abandoned his duty without any evidence.
"Then, why did he take such action? Such behavior is clearly against the law."
"But I-"
"Enough! I'm putting the whole 10th Squad under house arrest. Depending on the outcome of this, the entire 10th Squad may be disbanded." Yamamoto said.
"Disbanded? Are you saying that the 10th Squad will be disbanded? Our soldiers committed no crimes. As Vice Captain, I accept full responsibility."
"Bite your tongue, Matsumoto! Do you really think that a Vice Captain ranks high enough to take the blame for this? Know you place. Our top priorities are two fold: the search for and retrieval of the King's Seal and the capture of the person most related to this, 10th Squad Captain Hitsugaya Toushirou. This is special emergency order." Yamamoto said as Rangiku frowned.
'There's no way that Hitsugaya-taichou will do that. He must have his reason. I'm sure, I believe in him.'
The meeting was then adjourned. The Captains went back to their squads. Rangiku was jumping on the roofs when she saw someone standing a few feet away from her.
"Who's there?"
"Rangiku-san..."
"Hina... mori... -chan..." Rangiku said as she looked at Momo. Surely, she wasn't anywhere near fully healed but perhaps, more than half of her is healed. Momo then approached the busted woman and looked at her with worried eyes.
"Rangiku-san... was what Isane-san said true? ... Is Hitsugaya-kun really related to the missing treasure?"
"Sadly... it's true. We were assigned in the defense after all... Of course, we'll be the ones most affected by this. Even if we're affected, I know... Taichou will never do such a thing." Rangiku said as she cracked a small smile.
"That's right. Hitsugaya-kun will never ever do that. He won't steal something no matter what the reason is. Um, Rangiku-san. Was there something different about how Shir- I mean, Hitsugaya-kun acted before he left?" Rangiku smiled at Momo's slip when she almost said Shirou-chan.
"When you're around me, you can call him in that nickname. I don't mind. Anyway, Taichou did acted a little weird. I kinda got the feeling that he know the masked Shinigami he went after."
"What's he like?"
"I think he's a little near my height, with his hair tied and with a mask."
"I see."
'Could it be...? No, it can't be.' She thought.
"Gomen ne, Hinamori-chan but I need to return to the barracks. Would you come with me?"
"Of course!"
Sorry for any mistakes and if it'll take some time before I put up the next. It's hard to copy the lines in a movie after all. ^_^
Thanks to those who will read and review!
