I don't own Bleach :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toushiro looks down to the grass and see a small package tied with Momo's ribbon from her hair bun. The light blue silk lies in his hand as a single tear falls down his face and it begins to rain. The tear mixes with the rain and disappears. "All my fault" He thinks to himself. He continues to open the package and sees a note.
It says...
Dear T. Hitsugaya,
Like many before you I would like compensation for the safe return of your darling Momo. I don't want money like most other kidnappers but a thing. This thing as you know is very much alive. The thing I wish of from you is your cat. You see your cat is a very prized one indeed and I need to find a long lost treasure. This is all I ask of you.
There is where the note stopped and as it rained the ink smeared. He looked at the back of the package. There was no return address. "How did he know my name? And what good could my cat do, treasure sound childish. That thing was something my no good father left behind. Then again it talks. God know how it's still alive." Toushiro thought. He walked inside and through the slightly smeared note and package at the fat calico. It turned around frightened by the noise. The bell rang on its blue green color.
"Explain this you fat bastard!" Toushiro screamed with anger. The cat pawed at the note to turn it his way. It snickered.
"Well well our long lost rivals..." The fat cat answered.
"Who are they?" Toushiro asked in a demanding voice.
"The Espadas are our rivals from as far back as the futile era. They have fought with us for our land and when they took our land from us all our power was lost. They took all the wealth and money. The Espada's destroyed the land and its resources. All the money that was rightfully meant to be inherited by your great grandfather was buried during the war. All the gold, jewels and money that were to be the Espada's were buried in the ocean. I'm guessing they want it back." The fat cat sighed. Toushiro was puzzled and it took a moment to collect his thoughts.
"So what part do you have in all this?" Toushiro finally questioned.
"I am a guardian made to protect the amulet my soul was placed in and am disguised as a cat. I can willingly change back if that's what you wish. For you are my new master the, rightful one to those riches, you are the heir." He said dramatically.
"Hyorimaru, please change I must find Hinamori."
"As you wish."
A flash appeared blinding Toushiro. He put his hand out and in it appeared a necklace of pure gold. Its Amulet was a snowflake made of white gold and diamonds. Toushiro placed the necklace around his neck and left the house on a journey to find Hinamori. But where would he go?
"Ukitake-kun! This train ride is soooo long how does Momo-chan survive?" Matsumoto complained.
"It's not much longer Rangiku-san. You'll survive." Ukitake replied.
The three of them were on the train t the outskirts ofKarakura town were the two people lived. The train came to a noisy screech of a stop. "Yawn" Matsumoto stretched. "That was torture!" She mindlessly walked off the train and straight into Toushiro. Who fell straight to the floor. A bump formed on his head and Matsumoto's eyes started to glimmer.
"Toushiro-kun!" She pulled him in for a hung suffocating him." I was so worried!"
"Y-you're ch-chok-ing m-meeee..." Toushiro wheezed out. Matsumoto let go a whispered a slight sorry. The other two anime sweat dropped and sighed. Toushiro gasped for breathe sure he was going to die.
"Toushiro-kun. Where is Momo-chan?" Rukia began but stopped due to the look on Toushiro's face. He looked depressed and watched his feet. "How can I tell them like they would understand..." he thought. Then without Toushiro's word the necklace spoke.
"Do you care for an explanation?" Hyorimaru blurted out. Everyone stared in disbelief. It shined and floated slightly as it spoke." Then we must go to a secluded area." The amulet came off of Toushiro's neck and spun in circles quickly growing; a cat jumped out and they followed it eager for an explanation and curious as why the cat could talk. They walked past the lone building containing only restrooms and a tank for train fuel that was the train stop. They traveled through the field and to a large lone oak tree.
"Back in the futile era..." The cat began as they all eagerly listened. It seemed to drag on for Toushiro and he was a bit aggravated that he had no say whether or not they should know.He sighed, "When will it end it's just dragging on and on and..."
"Toushiro's Love is what's bringing him to save Momo or I don't think he'd care much at all" The fat cat finished and Toushiro had a what-face and was madly blushing.
"I DON'T LOVE ANYBODY!" He yelled somewhat confused of his true feelings but trying not showing it. Ukitake smiled sweetly "Young love..." He thought. Rukia laughed a little with Matsumoto thinking" But it's so obvious we know you do."
"Well, there is no way we're not helping, so you're stuck with us." Matsumoto said," It's what friends are for you're not in this alone okay?"
Sigh. "I don't think I would have a choice anyway. Besides who knows how many people will be in our way." Toushiro responded.
Ukitake commanded, "Get some rest tonight because we will need to be ready to fight. Get a nice breakfast, too." They nodded their head as if to agree and they all said they're goodbyes and parted for the evening. But since the train ride was too long and they would have to have a strategy in the morning they stayed in Momo's house.
Toushiro was home and tired from the day's explanation. "Another day wasted... What if she's already dead? What will I do? Is it true... what they say? I love her? I-I love Momo. But I doubt she loves me back..."He thought. He took his amulet off (he changed back on the way home) and watched it turn to a cat and fall asleep on the rug.
He wrapped himself in the cover and closed his eyes, "Tomorrow, when the sun rises, my quest will begin."
Aikyo: Soooo I might have forgotten for a couple days... But I did update and it didn't take that long!
Toushiro: Excuses, Excuses...
Momo: Do you really love me?
Toushiro: uhhhhh... O/O
Aikyo: Read and find out! Sorry if some of them are a little OC sorry. R&R!.
