Hi everybody! Keep reviewing!!!

"Hey Hinamori Chan!" Izuru waved as he sat down beside his friend.

"Oh! Hi Izuru!" Hinamori put on a plastered smile.

Izuru shook his head. It was already five years. But his friend had never forgotten her childhood friend. He really didn't expect anyone too, but he was tired of seeing his friend this way. The petite girl beside him was not the Hinamori he used to know. She used to be so bright and always smiling, always encouraging everyone else and so very optimistic. But she now kept to herself most of the time, never showing her true emotions.

Izuru knew she was torn between Aizen and Captain Hitsugaya, and felt she was the reason the captain had been taken in the first place. Of course, that wasn't true at all. But no matter how anyone tried to help her, she would pretend everything was fine.

Izuru sighed. "How have you been lately?"

Hinamori stared out to the distance, trying to think of a better answer than the truth, or "fine".

"Hinamori?"

She looked up. "Oh, sorry Izuru. Have you noticed the change in weather lately?"

"Actually, yes. It's been getting colder, hasn't it?"

Hinamori closed her eyes. She could almost feel the presence of her friend. If only that were the case.

Child. Wake up. It is time to leave.

His eyes fluttered as he began to wake up.

Child. You need to leave. Now.

He instantly sat up, then winced as his wounds stung. That voice. It was so familiar.

Hitsugaya Toushiro. You need to leave. They are near.

Why couldn't he remember whose voice that was?! It didn't matter. He believed the voice. He got up, wincing slightly, and started walking, as he had before he had stopped to rest. He didn't even no where he was going. Just away from them.

You're going home, child.

Home? Where was that? He felt frustrated as he could not remember what he knew he already knew.

You will soon find out.

"Captain!"

"What is it, Abarai?" Byakuya looked up at his lieutenant. He sounded shocked and excited, which he hadn't been since Aizen's betrayal. His lieutenant was not as devastated by his former captain's betrayal as others had, but he had grown more serious and that, Byakuya found, was not what he had wanted.

"Abarai!"

"Um. Captain, I think its, its snowing!"

Did you like it? Huh? Tell me! Or the green button! Eithers fine with me!
