The Gotei 13 had lost another captain. Literally lost.
Hitsugaya-taicho had simply disappeared off the map, and what seemed like half of Seireitei were trying to find him. Aizen was the main suspect, even though the snowy little captain had been in the real world when he had vanished. One minute he had been fighting, then, a flash-step later, he was gone without a trace.
Matsumoto-fukutaicho had to be practically tied to her bed for her to stay in the Fourth Division. She refused to stay, even though she had received a wound from a particularly persistent Hollow while she had still been frozen is shock over her captain's disappearance, and only Unohana-taicho's gentile, but still somehow… persuasive… orders stopped the worried underling from looking for her captain.
Two days after Hitsugaya-taicho went missing, Matsumoto was released from the Fourth Division. Half a day after that, she was in the Real World, combing the place she had last seen her captain for clues to his whereabouts. Urahara Kisuke found her, flat out on the ground, fast asleep.
A/N: Yes, it's a shorter chapter then last time, but before you start throwing full wine bottles at your computer screen I have one thing to say: I'm setting the scene. Next Monday, I swear, the chapter will be much longer. Much, much longer.
Not that there's really many people who really care. No, I'm not being bitter about how few people care enough about my story to review at alllllll. Nope. (REVIEW PLEASE! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO LECTURE ME ABOUT SOMETHING!)
By the way, I'm not only five people at once, (CLAMP and Tite Kubo) but I am publishing this story(not manga, story. In English, I might add) on a site that brings me no financial benefits. Yep, totally something five-authors-in-one-person would do. No question about it.
