I do not own Bleach
Chapter 2
November 3rd 2018 [i know it's not really but this is important for future stuff]
The day after war is over.
@squad 10.
Toshiro finishes tying his tie and looks at himself in his mirror
"Time to go." He says walking into his living room to get Setsuna.
Toshiro "Setsuna hold still so I can fix your hair."
"Okay Shio-chan."
"Sit down next to me."
His sister climbs onto the couch beside him. Toshiro starts braiding the young girls hair. Rangiku and Gin come in.
Gin "Hey kids? You ready?"
Toshiro "Yeah I just need to finish doing her hair."
"Alright."
"Boys do you have your speeches ready?"
"Yeah."
"I'm winging it."
"Toshiro…"
"I don't need a script to say what I need to."
"Are you sure?"
"I know the kind of men my grandfather and great grandfather were. I don't a script I'm just going to speak my mind."
"For once?"
"Yes."
"Oww not so tight Shio!"
"S-sorry Setsuna."
He finishes doing her hair and stands up.
Toshiro "Let's go."
They all go to funeral.
@the funerals… the ones giving speeches are together the others line up by rank.
Kyōraku "Let's begin. We gathered here to say goodbye to five of our strongest Soul Reapers. First, Lieutenant of 1st division Sasakibe Chōjirō. He fought strong. He has always been more powerful than I was. Chōjirō achieved Bankai before me or Jushiro did. He has been working to perfect it for 2,000 years. He used to for the first time in battle and died. I have always looked up to his loyalty. Every since day one he has worked harder than I. Chōjirō vowed to serve under Yama for as long as he lived. That is exactly what he did. Chōjirō is a man we will forever honor and respect. The first Lieutenant of first division Sasakibe Chōjirō may he Rest In Peace."
He lights a candle by Sasakibe's picture then turns back to everyone.
"Next Captain of Squad 4. Restu Unohana. Formerly known as Yachiru Unohana. She was one of the most experienced Soul Reapers we have ever had. She was one of the First Captains chosen when the positions were created. She has been many things and had different titles over the years. Isane Kotetsu would you come up and say a few things?"
"It will be my honor."
Isane goes over to where Kyōraku stood and begins "Captain has been so many things. She's always been there for me. She taught me how to heal, save, fight, and protect. She lead the Squad proudly and died a honorable death. She fought to protect. I can't even explain how amazing she was. We will forever honor and respect her."
Isane bows lighting a candle by Unohana's picture.
Kyōraku "Thank you Isane. You may take your seat again."
She bows and sits down with her sister.
Kyōraku "Now. Captain of Squad 7 Komamura Sajin. For a long time he hid his face. It wasn't until a few years ago he took off the mask. Komamura was a great Captain and lead well. A few words from his Lieutenant Iba Tetsuzaemon."
Iba goes up.
Iba "My Captain was many things. He was always there. Captain was relieved when he finally was able to take off his helmet and show who he really was. He may not have been one of the main characters in the anime but he was to me. Forever honor Captain Komamura."
Iba kneels down to the picture lighting the candle "Thank you Captain."
He stands back up facing them.
Kyōraku "Thank you Iba you may sit."
He bows and sits back down
Kyōraku "Next. Captain of Squad 13 Ukitake Jushiro. He was many things to all of us. To me a best friend, a brother, and a partner. Jushiro was a great man and great warrior. He was ill but still fought strongly. In the academy we ended up being roommates. That sure was a mess."
He laughs lightening the mood before continuing
"The two of us were very different but I couldn't ask for a better person to call my best friend. He was and always will be a brother to me. How about a few words from his Lieutenant. Kuchiki Rukia."
Rukia comes up "Captain Ukitake was a great man. When I first joined the Squad I never saw him much. Despite him being ill he always fought powerfully. Captain would make sure everyone was fine and happy. I couldn't have asked for a better Captain."
"Thank you Rukia. Now from his son Ichimaru Gin."
Gin gets up and goes over "Ukitake was a great man. He was my father. Despite him not knowing until a little over a year ago he was always there for me. I tried to keep slight distance from him when I was here as a Captain. But Dad may have felt that we were connected? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He was powerful and a great leader. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to say what a man he was."
He turns to the picture and lights the candle
"I'll miss you Father *turns to the picture of Yama* you two Grandfather. Rest In Peace."
He gets up and turns around
Kyōraku "Thank you Gin. You may sit down."
Gin bows and sits down.
Kyōraku "Hitsugaya?"
Toshiro nods and goes up to where Kyōraku stands.
Toshiro "I would like to speak for both Ukitake and Yama. First Ukitake. He was a great man. I always felt like we were connected but I ignored it. Jushiro was an amazing Captain and grandfather. True we didn't always agree. He always went overboard and overreacted about things but… I guess that's just what him well him. I should have been nicer to him when I had the chance… *he puts his hand on the casket* I'm sorry Grandfather. For everything."
Kyōraku "You're very mature Toshiro."
"I try to be. Now Yama?"
Kyōraku nods.
Toshiro "Man where do I start?! Yama was one of the few that had some faith in me in the beginning. When I first graduated from the academy he called me into his office. I'm not gonna lie it was terrifying. Seriously guys imagine you were 7 being called into Head Captains office a week after graduating the academy!"
Theres a few laughs causing him to laugh slightly
"Anyway he said to me 'Hitsugaya. You're incredibly gifted. Don't let your power go to waste. I have faith you advance quickly through the ranks. Your young age proves you have potential.' That gave me the courage to work harder. He made me realize that being child prodigy wasn't as bad as I thought it was. When I was getting promoted to Captain? Everyone said right in front of me that it was impossible. That I was to young. Yama knew what I was capable of. Yama encouraged me to not be afraid. I think I speak for all of us when say this. Yama changed our lives. I can't imagine my life if I wasn't a Soul Reaper. My great grandfather was a proud, powerful man. The founder of the 13 Court Guard Squads and the Soul Reaper Academy. He's lead us for thousands of years. We will forever honor and respect him."
Toshiro lights the candle and looks at Yama and Ukitake.
Tears form in his eyes as he quietly says "Goodbye family. I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong to either of you."
Toshiro faces everyone.
Kyōraku puts his hand on Toshiro's shoulder "Wise words from such a young age?"
"I'm young not an idiot?"
Kyōraku smiles "You can take a seat now."
Toshiro bows and sits back down with his family.
Kyōraku "Now that we've heard the speeches we can lower them were they wished to be buried."
2 weeks later
Toshiro sits on the floor in the grass next to a headstone.
Toshiro "Hey Grandfather? I'm back. I remembered what you said before the war. You seemed happy to hear me open up? Said that if I ever needed to talk you were there? You said we would talk when War was over. It's over. Your not here though. It feels weird without you? Kyōraku is busy all the time but he kept your weird habit alive and gives me Candy whenever he gets a chance. That reminds me. Here. You always took a favor to these."
Toshiro lays a bag of candy beside the headstone.
Toshiro "I don't really know what to do. Matsumoto, Gin, and Setsuna are out who knows where. Momo is rebuilding her squad. I'm not allowed to see Rin. I still love her. I miss her. I want to hold her close again. I don't know if it's safe. Yama left very clear instructions saying that I can never see her again. Not even Kyōraku will go against him. I'm at loss right now. I can't keep holding onto the past. But every time I think of her my chest hurts. I need to move on. I need to go back to being my frozen old self. Go back to only focusing on work. I need to repair the Squad."
Toshiro hears someone coming "Hey Head Captain…"
Kyōraku sits down beside Toshiro "Hey? Toshiro-san? You doing alright?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Are you sure?"
Toshiro nods looks over the hill "Yeah."
Kyōraku puts his hand on Toshiro's shoulder "I know what you're thinking and I'm trying to alright."
Toshiro "I don't know what your talking about."
Kyōraku sighs "Look I'm trying to convince Central 46 to allow her back."
Toshiro touches the necklace "I'm fine. That's unnecessary. She is a human teenager. We shouldn't mess with her life."
"Toshiro-san? This is the most private place in the Seireitei. You can open up. Ukitake wants to know. So does Old Man Yama."
Toshiro looks at the headstone as the spirits of Ukitake and Yama appear.
Ukitake "We're here for you Toshiro-san."
Yama "I'm sorry Toshiro. Kyōraku. Please bring her back soon."
"I'm trying."
"Toshiro-san?"
"Are you alright?"
Toshiro starts shaking as a tear falls down his cheek "I'm fine."
Kyōraku hugs Toshiro. Yama and Ukitake put a hand on each of Toshiro's shoulders.
Toshiro "I'm fine."
Yama "Toshiro I was a fool to not allow you to see her. Kyōraku please convince Central 46."
"I'm doing my best."
"She's a teenage human. We shouldn't mess with her life."
"Toshiro it's alright to be upset."
Toshiro tries to pull out of Kyōraku's arms but fails.
Toshiro "I'm f-f-fine… I just…"
"Just miss her. Don't worry Toshiro. I'll convince them one day."
"When she's in this world. Then I will."
Kyōraku let's go looking at Toshiro. Toshiro looks at the three of them.
Tears falling down his cheeks "Why. Why did all of you have to go?"
Yama and Ukitake look at each other then at Toshiro.
Ukitake wipes Toshiro's tears "It's just part of life Toshiro-san."
Yama "Me and Jushiro lived very very long lives. It's time we had to go. We sacrificed our lives to save everyone."
"I-it was an honor serving under you Head Captain."
Toshiro and Kyōraku both bow to them. Ukitake and Yama smile.
Yama "It was an honor to lead you all. Kyōraku lead everyone well. Toshiro. Don't give up. If you truly love her you will see her again."
Toshiro nods sadly.
Ukitake "Remember. We are always with you. Kyōraku take care of my grandson and granddaughters as well."
Kyōraku smiles and nods "I will. I promise." "So long family."
Ukitake and Yama start to fade.
Toshiro "No! Don't leave! Stay! Please!"
They're gone. Toshiro sinks down and looks over the hill.
Kyōraku "I promise. One day I'll convince them."
Toshiro nods touching his necklace. They talk for a while. Kyōraku manages to get Toshiro to say everything on how he feels. Kyōraku has never seen or heard anyone so lost. He realizes just how much Toshiro hides.
