Black Ice

Chapter 2

I Missed You

Toshiro banged his head against his desk in frustration. All those lonely years training to become a top-notch shinigami. All those years in seclusion. All those years missing the same person, dreaming about him constantly. Beating himself up for leaving him. Calling himself demeaning names, torturing himself. All those cold nights alone without the comfort of Takeshi. Spending hours training with Hyorinmaru to the point where he'd pass out from exhaustion.

Flashback

"Did you here about the new kid?" Toshiro knew they were speaking of him.

"Yeah, he gets on my nerves." Toshiro learned to tune them out but it didn't take away the feeling of being hated, the feeling of loneliness.

"Why? He doesn't really mess with anyone he just keeps to himself."

"I know that's whats so irritating. He thinks he's better than everyone. He barely been here a year and he's already gonna graduate!"

"He's a freak. Look as his hair, and eyes." Toshiro finally decided to leave. He couldn't take it anymore. All the whispering, all the talking behind his back, all the stares, it was all just too much. He finally made it back to his room and climbed into his bed. He wrapped himself up in the covers, trying to simulate the feeling of Takeshi wrapping his arms around his waist. The feeling of having someone there to protect and be there for you. Toshiro wanted it back. But it was too late, he pushed Takeshi away. He felt like the world was closing in on him.

End Flashback

"Your not the same person you were back then, master."

"I know, Hyorinmaru."

"Then why do you torture yourself like this?"

"You know why. So why are you trying to make me say it?"

"Because no one can help you until you admit there's a problem."

"I can't do it yet.."

"There's no rush master. Take your time, as always I'll be awaiting your return."

"No, I haven't. talked to him." Hinamori frowned at her friend.

"Your going to have to deal with him eventually you know."

"True, but that can wait." She began to protest but Takeshi waved it off. "Before I even think about confronting him I need help unite the fifth division and I can't do it without my fuku-taicho, can I?" Momo smiled gratefully.

"I missed you and so did Shiro-chan. He won't admit it but, I know he does. He's so different now. I doubt you'll even recognize him."

"That's if I even choose to talk to him. I mean, I'm not really angry that he left me. Now I'm just afraid to approach him. Like you said, he's changed. He might not even want to have anything to do with me. But like I said, I don't want to talk about that. First thing in the morning I'm going to go ask that you be released from this dingy cell."

"Thank you. Later I'd like to catch up with you. I'm interested in how you actually became a captain." Takeshi stayed for about half an hour and talked with Hinamori about random things. He truly did miss his friend. Once the small talk was over and done with, Takeshi said his goodbyes to Hinamori but promised that he'd get her out of containment as soon as possible. She thanked him and Takeshi left the cell.

"Thanks for letting me in to see her."

"Hai, Kazuma-Taicho!" Takeshi sighed. He hated formalities but he didn't speak on it. He learned a long time ago that it's best to keep some things to yourself.

"It's a little brighter in here, thank god."

"Just materialize I'm sick of having your voice plague my thoughts, Kōjin."

"Pushy much?" Despite her attitude Kōjin did as she was told. A bright stream of white light left Takeshi's soul and appeared on the street next to him. Her long blonde hair flowed behind her as she walked and her golden armor stood in contrast to the darkness surrounding him. Her hazel eyes reflected the same sweet fierceness that Takeshi's did.

"And pull up your skirt. I don't want shinigami ogling my zanpakuto."

She pouted but pulled up the glimmering shirt anyway. "Besides if anyone tried to 'ogle' me I'd make sure I was the last thing they 'ogled'." Takeshi scowled at the fact that he had to look up to his zanpakuto. He was nowhere near as short as Toshiro, but 5'4 wasn't exactly tall either. "Besides, you're changing the subject. You need to talk to him. It's way to dark in there!" She yelled, pointing at Takeshi's forehead."You know how much I hate the darkness. And even more than that I hate seeing you so depressed."

"Don't worry I'm fine. I'll speak to him eventually but for now I need help take care of Soul Society, its number one on my list of priorities right now." Kōjin glared at her master.

"Well your priorities are out of whack. If you can't take care of yourself then how are you gonna take care of other people?" Takeshi opted to ignore his zanpakuto after that comment. The sad part about it was that she was right.

The next morning Takeshi hopped out of bed and jumped into the shower. It was a short shower, he just washed up really fast and got right back out. He wrapped a towel around his waist as he brushed his teeth and dried his hair all at the same time. Takeshi was never the best multi-tasker but he was in a hurry.

"This is your fault you know. You shouldn't have gone back to sleep."

"Shut it, Kojin!" Takeshi rarely ever yelled at his zanpakuto but this was a stressful situation and he wasn't a morning person. Takeshi tossed the towel he used to wash his hair to the side and rinsed his mouth out. He ran out of his bathroom and headed towards his closet to put on his shinigami robes but the towel he thought was securely wrapped around his waist fell and he tripped.

Flashback

Takeshi ran out the door followed by Momo and Toshiro. They headed to the grass field that they normally played in but as soon as they got there Takeshi tripped over what seemed like air.

"Haha, you really are clumsy Taki-chan!" Hinamori giggled.

"Shut up, Momo." Takeshi stuck his tongue out at her playfully. Toshiro just rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you two just get married?" He smirked as they both blushed.

"No one asked you, Toshiro!" They yelled in unison with their faces beet red.

End Flashback

"Why can't things be like they were back then..."

"Stop spacing, Takeshi or your going to miss your appointment!" Takeshi sighed but Kōjin was right he didn't have time to reminisce. Takeshi got up and threw on his uniform followed by his haori and shunpo'd out of his house as fast as he could, grabbing Kōjin on the way. He flashed past people in the fifth division barracks creating confusion since they still hadn't met they're captain. He took to the skies and then crossed roof tops on his way to the first division barracks. He pushed himself faster by pushing off the tiled roofs with random bursts of rieatsu, leaving deep footprints in the tiles. His hair was still damp so he occasionally had to wipe wet strands out of his vision. The light brown locks were extremely curly when wet so it made navigation slightly difficult. But Takeshi managed. He finally made it to the entrance to the office, he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground with a loud thud. He left a large crack in his wake as he left the scene and entered the barracks. He passed Ukitake on his way to the Sou-Taicho's office. Ukitake stopped to chat with Takeshi so he politely told him he was in a hurry and he would talk to him afterwards.

"Kazuma-taicho, Sou-taicho Yamamoto-dono has been expecting you." Sasakibe momentarily walked inside the office but came out a couple of seconds later.

"You may enter, Kazuma-Taicho." Takeshi sighed at the honorific but didn't complain he just nodded his thanks and walked inside. Takeshi shut the door behind him and noticed how bright the room was due to the sunlight streaking through the large windows in the of the office.

"Kazuma Takeshi state your business." Takeshi bowed to show respect and began talking.

"I'd like to request the release of Momo Hinamori."

"What is your reasoning?"

"She's my fuku-taicho and a personal acquaintance of mine. I believe it would be in the best interest of my squad if she was at my side." Yamamoto appeared to take this request into consideration since it took him a while to answer.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea." Takeshi inwardly frowned but tried not to show it on his face.

"Why not?"

"Because of her mental state."

"I'm positive that she is mentally stable. I'll admit that she's probably still hurting over Aizen's betrayal but I went to go see her last night and talked to her for quite a while. She showed no signs of mental trauma."

"And if it was an act?" Takeshi took a deep breath.

"If anything happens I will take full responsibility and accept any and every punishment on her behalf." Yamamoto took everything Takeshi had to say into consideration before speaking again.

"Fine. I will release Hinamori into your custody. I trust there will be no issues with you picking her up on your way back to the third squad barracks today?"

"No, thank you for your time Sou-taicho." Takeshi said, bowing again and making his way outside. Once he was out of the office he jumped for joy and did a little happy dance.

"Your awfully chipper, Takeshi-kun. I'm guessing your meeting went well." Takeshi nodded happily "That's good. Sensei isn't always as lenient as he was today though so don't get to lax."

"Aw, let him bask in the moment Ukitake. It's not every day that Yama-jii lets someone get his way! Where are you off to Takeshi-kun?" Kyoraku said. He basically appeared out of nowhere.

"I'm gonna go get my fuku-taicho out of her cell. Would you two like to join me?" Takeshi's hair was beginning to annoy him but he knew he'd have to wait until he got home to do anything about it..

"Sure, I'm not busy. How about you Kyoraku?"

"I'm sure Nanao-chan can take care of anything that comes up. So sure why not?" Takeshi smiled and began to walk in towards Momo's location. Ukitake and Kyoraku began a lively conversation and included Takeshi as much as possible. Takeshi laughed made jokes along with them. All three captains got stopped multiple times on the street by random shinigami stopping to say hello but they didn't mind. By the time they made it to Momo's cell Takeshi was in a fantastic mood. The guards were already informed that she was allowed to leave when Takeshi arrived so they unlocked her cell and she tackled him into a hug.

"Takeshi, thank you!" He feel backwards as she hugged him. "Your still the same clumsy little Taki-chan I knew from Rukongai. Thank kami." Hinamori gave Takeshi a quick kiss on the cheek making Takeshi blush. Kyoraku and Ukitake chuckled at the affectionate display.

"This calls for another celebration!" Takeshi laughed at Kyoraku's enthusiasm.

"I'd love to but Hinamori and I have to go gather the division. They still don't know who they're captain is." Hinamori nodded in agreement. "But um, Hinamori?"

"Hmm?"

"We can't go anywhere until you get off me..." Her face turned red as she scrambled off of him.

"S-sorry." She stuttered sheepishly.

"Don't worry about it." He told her. Takeshi grabbed offered her his hand and she took it. "Ukitake-san, Kyoraku-san, thanks for coming with me today."

"Ah, it's no problem. We enjoyed your company Takeshi-kun."

"Yeah, you seem like a nice guy. I'm glad there's at least someone I can talk to other than Ukitake that won't give me a headache." Kyoraku said, grinning. After Takeshi said his good-byes to the two captains. He and Hinamori made they're way back to the squad three training grounds. When they arrived Hinamori yelled to get they're attention.

"Fuku-Taicho!" They all crowded around Takeshi and Hinamori.

"Okay guys. This is Takeshi, he's our new captain. I know it was fast but he's here and so am I. So I hope things will get back to normal soon. I think he wants to say a few words. Takeshi made his way through the crowd with the help of Hinamori until he was standing in front of the large crowd.

"Okay guys, my names Kazuma Takeshi, and obviously I'm your new captain."

"Hai, Kazuma-taicho!" Takeshi sighed.

"Please don't do that. I hate formalities. I'd rather you just call me Takeshi and if you're not comfortable doing that than please call me Takeshi-taicho. Even just pain taicho's fine."

"Hai! Takeshi-taicho!" Takeshi smiled.

"Good, now we're getting somewhere." Hinamori smiled at the charisma Takeshi seemed to exuberate. "I know things are chaotic right now and some of you may have qualms about me being your new captain after you were so recently betrayed by your old one."Takeshi glanced at Momo and frowned when he saw the sad smile on her face."But I'm willing to work with guys and prove that I'm trust worthy and qualified to be your leader and in return all I ask of you is for you to respect Hinamori and I's authority. Deal?" Everyone in the audience nodded. "Good! You can go back o what you were doing now."

"Hai, Takeshi-taicho!"

Flashback

"I want to talk to him..." Toshiro whispered. He couldn't tell but the inside of his room felt like a meat locker. His voice was raspy from crying and with each word he muttered into the darkness of his sad soul the room got colder. Eventually sealing the door shut with ice.

"Master, please. Control yourself.." Hyorinmaru knew Toshiro was in a fragile state so he had to choose his words carefully.

"Why am I so alone? No one loves me..." Toshiro didn't hear the banging on his door nor did he notice the ice cracking.

"Master..." The door burst open and two seniors accompanied by the headmaster walked in.

"Go away!" Toshiro roared. A large frosty dragon curled around him and lashed out at all three shinigami. The rieatsu Toshiro released unintentionally was enough to knock one of them out. Unfortunately he didn't survive. The blue dragon snatched him within his jaws and devoured his body whole leaving only a bloody mess in its wake.

"Send a notice to Soul Society and gather the seniors! Don't hurt the boy though, just the dragon." The angry ice dragon screeched. It sounded like it was in agony. The headmaster couldn't really do anything to calm the enraged creature so it went on a rampage, killing dozens of shinigami. When it was finally cornered the beast was covered in blood that did not belong to itself. They uses kido to trap it and subdue it. Meanwhile back in Toshiro's room, he was shivering uncontrollably and his tears froze as they fell.

"Get this boy to the infirmary ASAP before he catches hypothermia. If he already hasn't." They did as they were told but resented Toshiro for not only killing dozens of they're friends but also wielding such tremendous power. Even if it was subconscious. The shinigmai carried him out of his room, treading carefully so he wouldn't wake. His chapped blue lips slowly but surely regained their pink color and the coat of ice that covered his frigid skin began to melt. But the damage to Toshiro's room and the now icy hallway couldn't have anything done to it until morning.

End Flashback

"That cannot happen again. It will not happen again."

"As I said before you are not the same person you were all those years ago. You've matured." Toshiro scoffed.

"Then why can't I work up the courage to go talk to him instead of hiding like a timid child?"

"You know the answer to this question. We share are knowledge, must I remind you once again that together we are one entity?" Toshiro let out a large sigh. "If you're not ready to admit it yet then that's fine. Just don't make your loved ones suffer in the process."

"Thank you, Hyorinmaru." His zanpakuto nodded and disappeared. Toshiro took a deep breath and walked out of his office before he lost his nerve and headed down to the fifth division barracks.

"I really do miss him, Momo." Takeshi said sadly. Toshiro hid his rieatsu. If he was going to do this he was going to do it right.

" I'm sure he misses you too."

"Its not just him either. You were there for me after he left." Momo smiled at him.

"Yeah..."

Knock, Knock...

"Come in." The door opened and Hinamori squealed. "Shiro-chan!" She pounced on him like a cheetah would a gazelle.

"That's Hitsugaya-taicho to you!" She ignored that and continued to squeeze the life out of him. Takeshi coughed gently to get they're attention.

"Takeshi..."

"Toshiro..." Hitsugaya made the first move he ran to Takeshi and clung to him the same way he did decades earlier. The taller boy leaned done and caught him in his arms.

"I'm so sorry..." He sobbed.

"Shh, it's okay now. Everything's going to be okay." Takeshi reassured him.

"Well its about time..." Kojin cheered.

"I'll say." Hyorinmaru agreed.

Next Chapter: Takeshi and Hinamori grow closer which makes Toshiro question just what type of relationship he wants to develope between him and the fifth division captain. Takeshi spends time with Toshiro and he and Hinamori share a somewhat special but awkward moment. Also more flashbacks shed light on Toshiro, Takeshi and Momo's childhood.

Desire: I really wanted to typed more but this was an amazing spot to end it, in my opinion.

Momo: They're back together...

Desire: How come you don't sound happy?

Momo: You wrote the next chapter so you should know why.

Desire: Oh yeah. (mocks the readers) I know something you don't know!

Momo: If you mock them they might now come back.
