Okay so on with Chapter two!!!!

"Hey Hitsugaya...can you still fight all right?" She was staring concerned at the back of his snowy head, Hinamori had just noticed how huge his foot had become, and the discolor had grown worse, she also saw how he was holding it up from the ground now. It seemed like it was too painful for him to put pressure on. And he didn't respond to her.

"Look Hitsugaya- l can win this- really! You don't have to fight anymore!" He shifted alittle bit, and then lifted up his sword, those bright eyes of his were angrily fixed straight to his enemies own eyes.

This was a very dangerous situation, because Aizen was nearby. He had purposefuly sent the hollows to them- but why? Why send such...maybe just alittle above average hollows to them? Was he targeting Hinamori again?

'Hinamori...just please don't do anything stupid...like go running back to him or something.'

"Just wait." He finally replied to her in a gruff and low voice.

The temperature in the air was beginning to grow cool, while the wind around them began to pick up. Leaves in the trees and on the ground were being pushed around.

'He's about to use his bankai...' Hinamori backed up a few steps from him to give some room to him. The energy around Hitsugaya and the wind were a bright white. It was obvious that he was pissed.

"Seated upon the frozen heavens..." He saw the hollows one eye widen- it seemed to realize that something big was coming, and Higsugaya did not even care that he was about to have another obvious victory. "Hyoinmaru!" He called. The entire sky above them turned from bright to as dark as midnight, and the sun went into hiding. The wind picked up even more than before and Hinamori wrapped her arms around herself from being cold. A giant dragon of ice was suddenly in the sky, it's long slender body was twisted and huge. lt had no wings but still flew gracefuly through the sky as a sea creature would swim through the ocean. lt's head was huge, and mouth was open wide and full of fangs made of ice. The dragon dove downwards. Captain Hitsugaya pointed his sword towards the ugly hollow as Hinamori watched from behind him in amazement. The dragon followed his masters order and dove straight for the small hollow.

The hollow just had time to put it's razored arms in front of it's body as a shield, but Hyoinmaru wrapped its entire huge mouth full of razor sharp teeth made of ice around it's victim and closed it's mouth shut, completely crushing the hollow to nothing but small broken shards of ice. A trail of ice had also been left behind from the dragons destructive path. Everything it had touched, including trees, was now ice. The couple standing together watched as Hyoinmaru dissapeared back into the sky. It returned to being bright blue once again and the sun came out. Hinamori was still amazed.

"Hitsugaya! l still cannot believe something so amazing is your very own bankai!" She clapped her hands together while smiling. He turned around to face her, still looking serious, and slightly tired.

"Thanks momo." She laughed light heartedly.

"It's the truth!" The words had just came out when there was a rustling noise to their left. Both turned their heads quickly to that side to see none other than Captain Aizan stepping out of the shrubbery.

"Very impressive Hitsugaya, Hinamori." He cooed. Hinamori's body suddenly felt hot with anxiousness. Her heart had stopped beating for a moment and now each beat was painful to take. Aizan, was standing before her. And he looked perfectly healthy and strong as ever. Everything seemed to go into fast motion at that point.

"Aizen! What the hell are you doing here!" Higsugaya yelled. Aizen had a smug smile on his lips, and his eyes glinted mischieviously.

"I only came to see how my leuitenant has been doing."

"Aizen..." Whimpered the girl. Hitsugaya turned to face Momo.

"Momo-" his voice held a hint of desperation. He was completely unsure of what to say, because there was no way of telling how she might handle things. "Please, don't be stupid-" Hinamori was fixated on Aizen's face. The face that she had not seen in six years, that she pined for every single day. lt was the face that haunted her memories and her dreams, confusing her thoughts almost every day, all day long. She slowly turned to glance at Hitsugaya's face, because she could feel his intence stare.

What she saw in his eyes shocked her, though she was careful not to show it. She was sure what she was reading in his demeanor was right. His body was leaned towards her, while his body had become positioned between herself and Aizan. His eyes were slightly wide and he was gritting his teeth. lt looked like if he could, he would just reach out, grab hold of her, and hug her to himself to shield her from Aizan. He was overall, extremely afraid for her.

"Hitsugaya..." She was unsure of what to say.

"Hinamori..." Aizan began. She immediatly perked up to hear what he would say. Hitsugaya gripped the hilt of his sword.

"Don't you speak to her..." His voice was low and threatening.

"Or what? You will come fight me only to loose once again..." Hitsugaya was not easily made insecure or hurt. Accept when it came to Hinamori. And so he just stared down the captain.

"l will just say...that l will not loose." He clicked his sword and brought it slightly out of it's sheath. Just the very metal end, where sword and hilt connect, glistened in the sunlight. Aizan just smiled. He wanted to tell him how stupid he looked smiling like that. Aizan leisurely reached for his own sword hilt.

"Hitsugaya NOO!" He froze in place.

"Don't you touch him!" The tenth squad captain just stared dumbfounded down at the girl who had ran in front of him. For once, he was completely unsure of what to do. He was completely and hopelessly lost.

'She is on his side...' His eyes shimmered as he watched Hinamori, and she stared back solemnly at him.

"Look Hitsugaya...we'll settle this once and for all okay?"

What could he do? Aizen was her first captain, and for around three hundred years she served under him. It was said that a leuitenant's bond with her captain was unbreakable, and vice versa. Hitsugaya weighed his options, and realized that he was basically screwed over. Sure, they had been child hood friends, neighbors even. The best of friends. But they went down different paths long ago. She had devoted her life as a leuitenant, to Aizen and served him for three hundred years. Thus strengthening the Captain/lieutenant bond even further. Hitsugaya, had followed her out of a whim to death god school. When he found that she was mostly interested in only Captain Aizan, he tried very hard and then became the captain of the tenth divison squad. He had done it all for her. And now, even when he was certain that she knew Aizan was the one who had put her in the coma, and she knew he wanted to destroy the soul society, she had even admited that she knew, she could not let that devotion to her captain go. She was still in denial, that Aizan had done anything wrong.

And sure, Hitsugaya was now her current captain...and she had come a long way in the four years that she had awoken from her coma, and they had been through alot together those past four years, but that was nothing comparison to the three hundred she served by Aizan. And plus, it still shocked Hitsugaya to this day that Aizen could have betrayed them all so deeply. He was just a wolf in sheep's clothing though, from the beginning. So Hinamori must have been feeling that shock at the maximum... Therefore she made it unreal in her mind. lt just couldn't be possible. But if she went back to Aizen...he would definately kill her on the spot!

Suddenly a small idea popped into his head.

"So we will..." He agreed.

"Eh?" Hitsugaya stared past Hinamori straight to Aizan.

"So...why don't you tell her your plan yourself, Aizan." Hinamori's body went rigid, and she stared wide eyed at Hitsugaya. He saw the fear in her eyes. She did not want to possibly be proven wrong, and she slowly turned to watch Aizen, her heart throbbing.

"Yes Aizan...Please correct him...Some one has been forcing you to do all of these horrible things!!" Hitsugaya forced himself to stand in his place, and not go to her. He held his gaze on Aizen...watched every movement, every look in his eyes, he was ready to guard Hinamori at any cost.

"Hinamori..." He closed his eyes and looked at the ground with that still small smile on his lips.

The sun was now set low in the sky. lt was getting close to the evening time by now and there were several stars already out. The forest however, was completely silent and devoid of even a cricket chirp. It was deafening.

"Please Aizan...please tell me...you are not the one plotting to destroy all of soul society...And that you...you..." She couldn't seem to pull the words out of her. She wanted to ask if he had been forced to stab her too. He stared directly into Hinamori's eyes. Hitsugaya felt sudden jealousy bug slithering up his spine. He tapped his foot impatiently.
"Well Aizen? Tell her the truth."

"The fact of the matter is...Yes. Yes l am the one, that is plotting...and will destroy the soul society."

"No..." She whispered. She felt as though she might faint.

"Hinamori!" Hitsugaya called out sharply, and it brought her realing mind back to reality. She did not know what to do.

"Why..." Her eyes were glistening with tears.

"My reason behind it is simple...All soul reapers here are bad."

"Oh! You are so full of it!" Hitsugaya interjected. "Quit filling her head with your lies you coward!" Hinamori's mind began to spin again. lt was like an overload. He admited that he was guilty.

"So you stabbed me too..."

"...It was for your own good." He was lying out of his teeth. But he was such a good liar, and Hinamori had never caught him in a lie in all the 300 years she had served under him, so she had never had a reason to doubt him. Her first impression of him was still with her.

"My own good?"

"You see...the death gods are all the bad guys here. What you do not know is that they all want to take over the world. They want to kill all of the people in the living world and have complete control of their souls. They want to make the souls worship them forever as their servants. And they want to kill off any who stand against this. Byakuya, and Hitsugaya are the main ones behind this Hinamori...l know its hard but you've got to believe me.

Those last words snagged her into the lie. lt was really Aizen who wanted all of that for himself.

"That is not true! Hinamori! Trust me, l have never lied or hurt you!" She heard Hitsugaya's voice in the back of her mind. But it was only an echo.

"I hurt you because l did not want you to see all of these horrible things happening...l was afraid that l would not be able to protect you."

"But...captain...lt is me who is supposed to protect you." She was walking towards him now.

"Hinamori no! l am your captain...and you are going to stay right here!" It was a last resort for Hitsugaya to get her to not go. Now he was just desperate. There was no telling what Aizan would do to her...he might kill her on the spot. When he saw she wasn't listening, he grabbed her wrist tightly. "You are not going."

"Ah...let go!" She glared at him.

He tightened his hold and pulled her body easily into his. She winced but didn't say anything.

"Hinamori. Look at me." She refused and looked to the left and at the ground. "Hinamori!" She flinched this time at his raised voice.

"You just heard it!!!! You heard it from him Hitsugaya! Your the bad guy...all of this time...lt was really you..."

"Think about what your believing Hinamori! He is even more twisted than l thought if he thinks that killing you will save you! Look-" She tried to pull away from him again, thus making Hitsugaya tighten his hold on her wrists even harder out of instinct and anger.

She gnashed her teeth together and kept on shooting him death glares.

"Hitsugaya...we have changed after all. l was beginning to like you more and more but..." Her voice was strained now as she attempted not to cry. 'l thought that l might love you...' "We have obviously changed since we were children. l can see now that we have chosen two completely different paths from eachother."

"Hinamori no! That's not right!"

She shook her head.

"Please...l would appreciate it if you just did not lie to me any more. l would greatly appreciate it. From here on out, l am your enemy." A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and caught her lashes. "The next time we meet...l will..." She stared up at him with deep purple angry eyes. "kill you." She maneuvered her wrists in such a way that they slid out of Hitsugaya's grasp easily. There were finger printed bruises all around them...he couldn't believe what he had done, or what he was hearing. He was utterly lost once again.

"You can try...but l could never kill you, Momo." With that, he threw a glance at Aizan, then looked back at her. "At any cost." Something snapped in his head when he saw the very smug look on Aizan's face...Hinamori was so blinded and confused by lies that she couldn't see it. He grasped his sword hilt again. He felt so alone, cold, and betrayed. Hinamori was the biggest and most important part in his life, and she had just threatened to kill him.

Hyoinmaru was speaking to him.

Let me fight. He was saying.

'You'll get your chance...'

"Prepare to die Aizen." Was all the warning he gave before he shun-po'd over to the captain, sword drawn, and then Hinamori was standing before him weilding her sword as well.

"I cannot let you hurt my captain."

"Hinamori, stay out of this one."

"l cannot! grrr...Hitsugaya! How could you!!!" She swung her sword at him. She felt the sword come on contact with something, and there was blood running down the blade. Her eyes widened as she saw that she had actually deeply slashed Hitsugaya's right arm. He grabbed his shoulder with his other good arm reflexively from pain.

'l...l cut him...'

"Why didn't you dodge that!" She demanded.

"Because...l knew you couldn't kill me."

"Y-yes l can! l just...thought you would have dodged that..." Her whole body started shaking and rivers of tears fell from her eyes. She couldn't stop them from flowing any longer. "Oh no...l hurt you Hitsugaya-kun...l hurt you...aaaaah!"

She dropped her sword onto the ground. She didn't care anymore. Her memories, her mind, she didn't know where to go, she didn't know where reality had happened and when it had been a dream. lt was like she went back to when she first had awoken from her coma and she slid to her knees. "Please...Please help me Hitsugaya-kun..." And she fainted.
