Hello everyone, and thank you for taking time out of your day to read the crap my mind has to offer. XD

Nah, I shouldn't be too hard on myself though. This is my first Bleach fic and my second fanfic altogether. (My first one I still need to wrap up….sigh….)

So basically now, this story is something that kind of randomly popped up in my head.A stupid theory of mine. I thoroughly searched through (and when I say thoroughly, I mean "did a half-assed job of….") looking through fics and I haven't really seen this idea. I doubt I'm the first to think of it though so it's nothing special really.

Just sit back, and enjoy the ride ladies and gentlemen…

It was a quiet night in the small town… as usual, really. Nothing out of the ordinary. Though this was unknown to a certain group of shinigami who were called upon the area.

Never before have shinigami been asked to go to this town….or at least not to any one's recollection. There was a powerful hollow presence here just recently. So powerful, it required two captains and their vice-captains to quell it. The presence however, died out just as quickly as it had started it seemed.

The renown leaders of divisions ten and five walked down an empty road. It was snowing rather heavily. It was beautiful really… the sun only recently went down, so there still were some light red rays protruding from the clouds as the snow blissfully landed on the earth they walk upon.

This peace was short lived however…..

"FUCK, IT'S NIPPY OUT HERE, AIN'T IT?" A voice rang out. To the shinigami, it boomed all across the town… there was no one around to hear it however….upon further inspection, it seemed most of the town was abandoned.

"Taichoo…" Rangiku Matsumoto chimed. "Do you really have to yell such things out?..."

Said taicho responded in not quite such a polite and joking manner…

"Who the fuck gave you permission to question every god dammed thing I say or do Matsumoto….can you tell me, 'cause I don't really recall." The man's voice was cold and bitter. He didn't even look at her when he said it. He obviously wasn't in the mood to play around.

The man's name was Hizashi Ookami. Tenth squad captain. He was very tall. Standing at approximately 201 centimeters. He had dark hair that was always slicked back.

A man with very ranging personalities. Sometimes some would consider him to be the nicest guy in the Soul Society… other times, he's made some squad members nearly revert to suicide. This was usually when he had a few to drink.

The thing is, he wasn't like Shunsui when he was drunk...or Matsumoto…. He was a mean drunk….. But he didn't even really have to be wasted to be like this. He never resorted to physical abuse. Usually he would just make the person he is angry at feel insignificant and worthless. He would even resort to childish things such as spreading rumors. Matsumoto was above such things however…

Rangiku responded how she normally does. Merely with a sigh.

Fifth squad captain Aizen Sousuke decided to intervene. "Have you been drinking Ookami?..." He asked in his typical mellow voice. Adjusting his glasses a bit after asking. He made sure to not sound too accusing of him.

Hizashi looked at him with a death glare. He was quite good at that…. Such things as faces didn't disrupt Aizen in the slightest however.

"Do I tell you how to run your pansy-assed division?"

Aizen's bored expression didn't change. "I don't recall, no…."

"Then don't tell me how to fuckin' run mine, alright?"

Aizen simply sighed at the man. He was about to say something when his adjutant ever so abruptly decided to pipe up.

"Aizen-taicho has a right t' be concerned ya know…. Ya really should learn to not be so mean to yer subordinates. They may just turn on ya one day." Gin Ichimaru commented in that sarcastic voice that drove some people off the wall sometimes. Hizashi especially hated it though.

He hated everything about the silver haired man. That god dammed smile of his… that voice… that over-confidence of his when he speaks to those of higher rank. Hizashi saw the man as a coward at heart. It seems he has so much confidence because he has such a powerful captain with him all the time to defend him.

There will be a day though when Aizen isn't around… and when that day came, Hizashi knew how much he would love to wipe that smirk off his face. Oh, how much he had fantasized his death…. And right now, despite Aizen being there may be the time….

He grabbed the hilt of his sword, Aizen however stood in his way.

"Ookami… I understand that my lieutenant here may be speaking out of line, and for that I apologize. But please realize that he actually brings up a point…."

Gin chuckled. "I-..." Matsumoto interrupted him by grabbing his arm and she pulled him close to her to whisper in his ear. "Now is just really not the time to act so…well… you…."

"How do ya know I wasn't goin' to compliment him."

"Because I just know you."

"Yeah, but that don't-"

"Wait…." Aizen interrupted. "You feel that, don't you?"

"Yeah…" Gin and Rangiku both replied simultaneously.

"It's just a fuckin' plus… what're you worried about?" Ookami said languidly.

The snow began picking up. It was more of a blizzard now, becoming very difficult to see.

Aizen closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead in frustration, though he did his best to remain calm. "I'm not worried as you say, it's just that we should find that plus before a hollow shows up."

No one said anything after that, there was just silence, and some looks exchanged between the 10th and 5th squad captains as they all headed toward the presence. They finally saw som one out in the distance. It was a little boy. No older than six years old with white hair, just laying down in the snow. It was almost impossible to see him because he blended in so well."

"Poor kid…." Was all Aizen had to say.

Matsumoto looked a little saddened for the poor boy and just nodded in agreement.

Gin and Ookami seemed pretty unfazed.

"So…." Aizen said to break the silence. "Who wants to break it to him…."

"I really dun see the big deal 'er taicho…. Lets just do it. Why do we need to say anythin'.."

"Gin! That's cruel!" Matsumoto responded in a playful tone. A little more playful than she intended because she was kind of serious. Though she did just want to go back. It really was getting cold now…."

"Hey…." The 10th captain intervened. "For once I actually agree with this asshole. Lets just get it over with eh?"

Aizen was about to respond when he suddenly was being paged by Soul Society. There were hollows in a nearby area.

"We'll discuss things later Ookami…." He said in his usual clam voice though there was definitely a hint of anger and frustration in their. "For now e have to take care of some hollow."

He then looked at Gin and Rangiku. "I'll leave that child to you two." And with that, the two captains disappeared into the blizzard with a shunpo…."

"Well…." Gin said while rubbing the back of his head. "Lets go ahead, eh?"

Rangiku just nodded as she walked closely with Gin to the helpless child in the snow.

Gin poked the boy with his zanpakuto a little to get his attention.

"Hey there, kiddo." He said, his grin growing wider.

The little boy seemed scared and went to back away when Rangiku grabbed him.

"Leave this to me." She told Gin.

"Why?"

"Because you're just going to scare him with that mug of yours…."

Gin playfully shoved her a little and kept quiet.

She noticed that the little boy was crying. And had been crying for quite a while.

"What's wrong?"

"I…l…lost my…Mommy… do you know where she is?" He looked up at Matsumoto with a newfound hope in his face.

"I'm sorry, I don't know where she could be. But you see, we're here to-"

"I think I know where yer Mommy is kiddo." Gin interrupted.

"Y….you do?!"

"Yeah…" He leaned forward toweard the boy as if he were telling him a big secret.

"Soul Society…" he whispered in the boy's ears.

The little boy wasn't sure what to think of this silver haired man with the scary smile on his face. But it seemed like he was genuinely trying to help him.

"Soul….society?..."

"That's right."

"Where is that?"

Gin thought for a moment just how to describe it. He then simply pointed up toward the sky.

"Up there. Way up there."

The little whit haired boy pointed up to the sky, oblivious.

"There?!"

Gin chuckled. "Yeah, that's right."

Rangiku pulled her friend away. "We'll be right back…" She said to the boy with a smile.

When she turned back to Gin, that smile disappeared however.

"Why are you telling him that?"

"What, you want me to tell him the cold hard truth? Think that'll make him pass happily?"

"…"

"Look Ran-chan, I'm bein' nice here 'cause I thought that's what ya wanted. But honesty, I could jus' let hollows gobble the kid up fer all I care. Ya know what I'm sayin' here?"

"You really are such an ass." She said in a playfully serious tone.

"Yeah, but I'm your ass, ain't I?"

"…What..." She replied, giving a soft chuckle.

Gin blushed a little. It wasn't really noticeable though. "Yeah… didn't think that one through…."

Matsumoto just rolled her eyes at him and walked over to the boy followed by Gin.

Gin kneeled down to get to the little boy's level and unsheathed Shinso.

"What's yer name, kiddo?"

"Hitsugaya Toshiro..." he replied hesitantly.

"Ah...that's a nice name ya got there..."

"A…are you taking me to Mommy?"

"Yup."

"Promise?"

"Uh-huh…"

Rangiku looked away. She hated that they had to lie to the boy like that, but Gin was right for once. For once, Ichimaru Gin, the man who she thought didn't know the meaning of the word "morals" was right.

"See her over there?" Gin pointed to Rangiku.

"Yeah…"

"She's pretty, ain't she?"

"Huh?"

"Gin! He's too young for you to be talking to him about stuff like that!"

"Maybe when yer old enough, ya can hook up and go out or somethin', my Ran-chan here likes a good time ya know…"

"Shut up Gin…." She said, laughing. It almost made her forget how freakin' cold she was…."

"Maybe we'll meet again sometime Toshiro, aight?"

Gin pressed the hilt of his zanpakuto against Hitsugaya's forhead and he slowly disappeared….

So, how was it? Was this original? Has this been done before? Should I quit writing? Reviews /constructive criticism are welcome and I don't mind flames. Bring 'em on!

For now, this will just be a one shot. Merely just a thought of miune I decided to type out because I happened to have the time on my hands. If enough of you think I should continue, I might consider making some more chapters.

Thanks for reading. ;)
