I do not own Bleach, I just love Bleach, as for the character thats new to the cast, that's an OC named Hiou, the " Hi " means " scarlet " and " ou " means " cherry blossom " Which are A good match to the character. Enjoy! pairings in here include, IchigoXRukia, one-sided RenjiXRukia, HitsuXMatsu, OrihimeXUryu, one-sided HinamoriXHitsugaya. And Hiou herself has a facination with Toshiro that could count as love, whether or not its romantic is up to you to dicide.
Turquoise eyes gazed at the endless plane of snow and ice, Toshiro Hitsugaya gave a sharp exhale, his breath visible to his eyes, As the cold breeze overtook him.
" Why isn't Hyōrinmaru here? " He wondered out loud. It didn'y make any sense, it was the same icey plane they usually met at, Then, Toshiro felt A impossibley strong burst of energy!
" He isn't here because I made it so. " Said A mysterious voice.
Toshiro quickly turned around to face the said voice, And there stood a very beautiful young woman, She was noticeibly taller then him, at least 5'3. Her hair was A bright, vibrant red, so red that it could put Renji's to shame! It was also incredibly long, it reached clear down to her knees! Her bangs were perfectly even, and worn just over her matching red eyesbrows, And just under the eyebrows were A pair of light pink eyes, Cold, jaded, emotionless. Simular to his own. She wore A long red sleeveless haori (kind of like Soi fan's) that reached down to her hips with black flames at the base, and another flame design at the base of where her sleeves appeared to have been torn, Tied at her slender waist with a purple sash, She wore black pants with red sandals, and white tabi. And what really was strange about her was that from her arms, clear to her neck, she was covered with white bandages!
" Why did you do that? " Toshiro asked calmly, His uncanny calmness baffled the girl..
" I wanted you all to myself." She replyed mockingly, with a condecending smile.
The ice captain gave a low, frustrated growl, " Enough! tell me who you are and how you managed to bring me here! " He demanded, His face growing into an irritated scowl.
The girl's expression slowly went from mocking to cold.
She approached Toshiro,When she had invaded his personal space entirely, her face staring down at his which was staring up, her red hair curtainening around the shorter shinigami. Her pink eyes staring deeply into his.
"Because I'm here to tell you...that I plan to kill all of you damn shinigami." She confessed, the fury in her soft voice defied the coldness of her face.
Toshiro, meanwhile, was unmoved by the threat, instead he just stood there, completely stoic.
" You can try, but whatever you plan to do, Just remember, I'll stop you! " Hitsugaya vowed to his new-found enemy, Emerald eyes staring intensely into ruby red.
The girl raised A red eyebrow, realizing how serious he was! an evil smile played on her perfect features,
At last, an opponent worthy of me!
she then backed away from the shinigami.
" I look forward to it." She said, accepting his challenge.
Then she transformed into a tornado of sakura petals and vanished from his sight.
" I'm really looking forward to it, Toshiro Hitsugaya." Her voice echoed on the frosty wind as her petals swirled around him.
Hitsugaya awoke in a cold sweat! He looked round, he was in his office.
He heaved A sigh of relief, " It was just A dream." He assured himself, but somehow, he wasn't so sure...
" Taichou! your awake! " Said the ever chipper voice of his liuetenent, Rangiku Matsumoto.
"Matsumoto! how long where you here? " Toshiro asked, A little surprized at himself for not noticing her on the couch in the center of his office,
Must have fallen asleep on the desk. He thought.
" You dozed off about five minutes ago," She answered, then her face played A playful smile on her pretty lips,
" And you looked so cute when you slept! " Rangiku teased,then started to giggle playfully, Toshiro's face turned as red as that mysterious girl's hair!
" Stop being foolish! " He shouted, trying to hide his embarassment, but he knew that she probably already saw that he was.
When Rangiku was done teasing her captain, her cheerful expression was replaced with a worried one, Worry for her captain." Taichou, you've been tired A lot lately, out of sorts, is everything alright? " She asked, Her light blue eyes filled with concern.
Noticeing her worry, Toshiro contenplated his answer, he wasn't going to say that he has been dreaming about A mysterious woman, Rangiku would probably tease him some more. But she meant well, she always did, that was just the kind of person she was, always ready to greet him with a smile that had the power to warm his frostbitten spirit, that was what he loved about her.
His precious Rangiku...
" Taichou? " Rangiku interrupted his thoughts, she was only inches from him!
Damnit! what's with these women and invading personal space? he thought, praying that he wasn't blushing!
" Are you feeling okay? " She asked tactlessly while placing her hand on his forehead,
Toshiro tensed up at the unannounced contact, desperate not to let his nervousness be known,
He took A breath, regained his composure, and gently knocked her hand away.
" I'm fine, Matsumoto. " He said with his eyes closed stubbornly.
Rangiku put her face in A pretty pout, " Your no fun, taichou."
" Of course not, I'm A captain, not A child, I don't have time for foolish things like fun, I'm merely here to porform my duties." He spoke in A professional tone.
Rangiku was sad to see Toshiro with such A depressing belief, He probably thought that his precence here meant nothing, But that wasn't true! He was MORE then just A captain, He had friends, friends that would cry for him if he were to suddenly vanish, Why did he not see that?
Why did think he was all alone?
Why did he not see the person that loves him right in front of his face?
He was more then just A captain, especially to her...
" Is spending time with me also part of your 'duties,' Taichou? " Rangiku asked, her voice coming out as, something like A sigh.
Toshiro's eyes widened at the question his liuetenent just asked!
He didn't know what to say, he knew what he wanted to say, but he also knew how futile it'd be to act on his feeling, after all, she loved Gin.
And he'd never put her on the spot like that, even though Gin was A traitor, and he'd have to eventually kill him, He'd never resent Rangiku for harboring feelings for Gin,
He'll support her in her time of pain, like any friend would.
Friend? Toshiro thought bitterly, never had he hated A word so viciously..
" Of course not." He finally answered, While his voice was blunt, His words were sincere.
Rangiku smiled," I know! I just wanted you to fess up! " She teased, Laughing at the look on Toshiro's face, but in her heart, she was relieved.
Toshiro growled angerly with A slight blush on his childish face," Damnit Rangiku!" He shouted.
Then there was A short silence, Toshiro had just adressed Rangiku by her given name!
" Taichou, did you ju- " she began,
" O-Of course not! now stop fooling around, we have work to do." Toshiro stammered, clearly embarassed.
Rangiku chuckled softly,
" Alright."
So, what did you think? I want an honest review from everyone! did I keep them in character? BTW, I'm going to look more into Hiou's backstory next chapter, so if you interested in that, I hope you stick around for it. I'm really proud of this character :)
