Previously:

Teal eyes looked at the wall away from the older two, "Would they still give you that trial if either of you had a Mythical one?"

Brown eyes widened slightly, "How do you know about them?"

Toshiro didn't look at the older white haired male as the woman looked between them confused, "Because my inner hollow just told me."

The Visord thought back to the boys commit earlier and rubbed his face. "And you happen to be a vamparic one." He walked away thinking, 'His situation is worse than Love could imagine. This is not good. Even the normal hollows that know about them are afraid of the Mythical Hollow.'

The purple haired woman followed the Visord out of the room leaving the boy ex-captain to himself as he looked toward the window. 'And to think she just turned her back to me because of this. I thought I was family to her. Family doesn't turn their back on each other no matter what the situation is. Isn't that what Granny used to say Momo.'

Now:

Mashiro looked in the direction of the ex-captains room, "He's been here for two days and he hasn't left the room."

"He will be fine Mashiro. We all handle these situations differently." Shinji said with a smile, "While none of us really had the time to mope or...time to really think due to the hollows we had, I am sure at least one of us would be doing the same thing he is doing right now."

The green haired girl smile, "Yes you are right but he can't stay in there forever."

"I'm not." The Visords looked at the door way to the living room where the white haired boy stood, "And I wasn't mopping I was talking to Hyorinmaru and Kiyoshi…my inner hollow." Toshiro explained at the weird looks. He was wearing some of the new clothes that Yoruichi had gotten for him. He at the moment was wearing blue jeans, white socks and a plain black shirt.

"How is your side?" Mashiro asked.

"It hurts but that will go away." Toshiro answered plainly before walking to the kitchen hands in his pocket and Hyorinmaru sheathed on his back.

When the newly ex-captain disappeared into the kitchen Love sighed, "He is right about that. Physical scars don't bother you more than mental scars."

Kensei sighed looking at the boy getting things out to cook, 'He's not expressing himself.'

'You never had to see someone is his kind of position before.' Tachikaze said in his mind, 'Because he was one of the youngest captains he was forced to grow up faster. Most would look down on people in his position. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his ideas were pushed to the side due to this.'

'What a pity. He looks smarter than most captains.'

Kensei's zanpakuto nodded, 'Yes that he does. Hyorinmaru often talks about how proud he is of his master. Says he has come a long way from where they started out.'

Kensei sighed getting up and walking to the kitchen, "You will need to change your appearance a little bit." Teal eyes looked at him, "At this point in time you will be too recognizable to Soul Society."

Toshiro looked away emotionlessly responding, "How would you suggest that? You know as well as I do white hair stands out." He started mixing the ingredients.

"I changed my hair style. While that doesn't say much it helped when they did a double take."

Toshiro sighed, "I don't see how that will help me. I would be too recognizable regardless."

"It also helped me let go of the past a little bit. The memories will still be there but it felt better to change just anything." Kensei leaned against the counter, "If change your hair now the spikes that you hair is in now will give you away faster than if you change it now."

Toshiro continued to go about making himself something to eat but Kensei could tell that he had got the kid thinking. After his food was done being put together and cooked the young ex-captain turned and looked at the Visord in the eye, "I will do it but I will choose what I change it to."

"Never said I was going to pick for you. We can do it today that way we can get it done and out of the way."

"It is best not to delay. I will eat and be ready soon after that." Toshiro said picking up his plate and going over to the table to eat. 'I'm never going to be able to go back am I?'

The dragon shook his head, 'No hatchling I am sorry.'

'It's not your fault.' Toshiro sighed, 'I just have to move on. That is the only thing left to do.'

"While you two are out you should get things for his room."

Toshiro looked at Lisa who as at the door, shock evident in his eyes right before it disappeared, "What are you talking about?"

"Look Toshiro…"

"Hitsugaya. If you are going to use any name it will be Hitsugaya." Toshiro quickly corrected.

Lisa shook her head and continued, "Anyway there is no reason for you to live away from the rest of us. We have enough room to house you as well. You may not recognize yourself as a Visord but that doesn't change that we can all get through this together. We are still struggling with our hollows and you need to learn how to fight with yours. As well as take on his diet. You can't honestly think we are going to let you deal with that all on your own."

Toshiro sighed rubbing his forehead, "I don't need the room to look special. Even as a captain my quarters were plain. No need to personalize it. It would be just a waste of time. The room is fine as it is."

Kensei raised an eyebrow, "Even without dressers?"

"Don't need them. The closet works fine. I don't need much." The boy explained picking up his finished food, "The only thing would possibly need is a book shelf. I like to read."

Lisa frowned her eyebrows, "That is all you are going to eat."

A teal eye peeked over the boys' shoulder, "I'm not used to eating much. Ate what I needed as a captain never had time to eat more than needed." Then he turned to the sink washing off the plate. Teal eyes looked at the counter then back at Lisa and Kensei, "Where is the drying rack?"

Lisa covered her smile with her hand, "We used a dishwasher."

Her smiled got bigger as the child sized ex-captain gave her a confused look, "Dishwasher? Is this something new or did Soul Society never get these?"

Kensei blinked, "Probably something they never got into. Let me show you." The Visord walked to stand next to the white haired boy moving him to the side to open the dishwasher. Toshiro looked inside at the other dishes inside, "You put the dishes in there."

Teal eyes blinked, "What did I just get thrown into?" He rubbed his face, "Okay I am clearly missing several things."

Kensei took the plate from the frustrated ex-captain and put it in the dishwasher. After closing it he knelt in front of the mature child, "We all had to go through it. You will too."

"I'm not a child. It is just a bit much to take in is all." Toshiro said walking away from Kensei to the direction of his room so he could get his shoes. "I'll be ready in a moment."

The white haired Visord shook his head and stood up, "I wasn't treating him like a child."

Yoruichi chuckled from the doorway, "To him anything that he considers childish is only for children. You knelt in front of him to Hitsugaya that is treating him like a child."

Hyori rolled her eyes, "Gods that is so lame."

Shinji smiled, "He is a complicated one isn't he?"

Yoruichi nodded, "Yes he has gone through a lot to get to where he is now. You can't blame him for wanting to be treated like he feels he deserves."
