SPOILER IN THIS CHAPTER! (Post ichigo vs. aizen / What happened during the fight.)

Well I wanted this chapter longer like around 3000 words but I felt like I shouldn't keep you guys waiting any longer xD.

Slowly but surely Unohana took her eyes off the boy so that she could continue. "We are unsure of the cause it very well just be something mixing and sending a chemical that makes everyone sick or it might be caused by-"

"A person" Hitsugaya finished. Unohana looked up and nodded toward the boy. "And the possibility of it being a soul reaper?"

"About 58% at this point. I say this because whenever they become ill their spiritual pressure starts to slowly drop, making it extremely hard for recovery. It could be the illness depleting their life so with their life their spiritual pressure drops also. The other option it could be is a persons zanpakuto can release it and it starts to suck away a person's spirit energy."

Hitsugaya hoped it was a soul reaper that did this, just so that he is able to pierce his sword through his body and watch him die.

"So far only low ranking shinigami have been becoming sick."

"Thank you Unohana-taicho" the old mans voice muttered, it was clear that he was also in thought. "Right now, sense we do not know exactly the cause of the outbreak I have decided to "quarantine" the ones already sick. We can't afford more soul reapers to be sick or die."

Everyone had mixed reactions. Some nodded feeling as if it was a great ideas, some looked confused and unsure and others look down right distraught. Himself didn't care. He had to much on his mind to care. "And where are the other patients that are there due to other...circumstances be located?" Hitsugaya mumbled eyes finally looking up from the floor and making eye contact with the 4th division captain. She understood why he asked such a thing, It was because of Hinamori. "The most fit will be able to leave. The rest that still need care are being transferred to an old barrack that we haven't used in years which Is located about 1 mile back from the original building."

Just nodding he returned his eyes to the floor and continued to zone out as others had questions about quarantine. Limited people can have access, masks worn at all times, etc.

As soon as he said the meeting was over the short captain was at the door first. Opening he glanced over his shoulder to look at his lieutenant "Come on Matsumoto" he flash stepped quickly out of the building. All he wanted to do was get back into his quiet room where he can sit and think all he wanted. He did not slow down until he reached the entrance of the squad 10 barracks. Pausing to wait for his vice-captain to catch up, it didn't take long but she was out of breath "Why such a hurry?" her voice a high pitched whine.

"Didn't want to stay." walking inside he instantly walked straight to his room giving simple nods to the subordinates that addressed him.

As soon as he walked into his office he went to the couch and laid down, eyes instantly closing. Matsumoto looked at him but didn't say anything, instead she went to her desk and started on paperwork. No he was not going to sleep, just thinking. He thinks better when he is relaxed, it also helps him calm down which he needed. His gut still felt twisted, his granny died. So suddenly, he was going to check up on her in a few days. He didn't even get to say goodbye.

The pain moved up to his chest the more and more he thought of it, deciding it was best to leave it to rest for right now and try to think more clearly about his work. Okay so, first off a recent jump hollow appearances. Second, a jump in sick probably meaning an airborne disease is going around and infecting people. Unohana said it was draining their spirit energy so it couldn't be a normal thing like the few. It's attacking the weak with very few spiritual pressure and now to the lowest ranking shinigami. As Unohana said it is also a soul reaper could be behind this. How? His zanpakuto.

Could it possibly have the ability to send something to slowly take someones spirit energy and bring it back to the host? It sounds weird and uncanny but everything in the soul society is unnatural, everything has to be taken into accountability.

Eyelids opened to reveal his natural bright turquoise eyes. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. So many possibilities but no lead to help them try and figure it out. They will have to wait to find out what else happens but that means more and more people will die.

Sitting up he looked back to his desk and noticed some more of the paper work was finished, he would have to thank Matsumoto later, he would actually let her sleep this time. Rolling his eyes as he noticed the blonde slouched over her desk fast asleep with a bottle of sake in her hand. Getting up he grabbed the saki and put it back away in her "stash". She still didn't know he knew where she kept it all.

It was now dark outside, most people would be asleep by now but he couldn't fall asleep now. Fixing his robes and haori before heading out the door and exiting his division. Once outside he noticed it was drizzling but ignored it. A little rain never hurt anyone, at this moment it felt good on his skin.

He planned on just taking a walk but he decided he could go visit her. Following Unohana's directions to the new building she was kept at he walked a steady pace, no sense in hurrying. He got to the entrance of the building and could see a faint glow inside meaning that people were still there. It was always a all day-all night place, in case there was an emergency.

Walking through the doors, a 4th division member turned and gave a sweet, warm smile. That is what they were famous for after all. "Welcome Hitsugaya-Taicho. She is back here." is it sad when they know why you've come? He lost count to how many time's he has visited her. She was always in the hospital and ¾ of the time it was because he had hurt her or he wasn't able to protect her. It always came back to him in some way, he never realized how hard it was to keep a promise but Aizen sure proved him wrong.

Nodding he followed the young lady to the room. She opened the door for him and he stepped through, dismissing her with a nod.

There she was, laying there. As always. Her face was still pale, she was still plugged into a respirator. Her hair was down, he had to admit he liked her hair down. He had always tried to get her to wear it that way but she never listened, always so stubborn.

They had finished her organ regeneration procedure she just wouldn't wake up. No, not dead. More-so a comma again. He guessed she just didn't want to wake up, he had failed her yet again and who else did she have? Aizen betrayed her and her friend that swore to protect her ended up almost killing her. Maybe it was better if she was locked away into a sleep, a place where she can control.

Standing at the side of her bed, he lightly reached out and placed a hand on top of her's. Her hands were so cold, it felt like ice. Felt like she could break just from this. He wished she would wake up and didn't at the same time. He wanted to let her know he was sorry and would do anything for her. He wouldn't blame her if she didn't forgive him but at least she would know.

Taking a deep breath before the small captain retreated his hand back to his side and turned away to face the door. "I'll come back again tomorrow." he told her. As if she could hear him.

Nodding to the nurse before leaving the building. It was now raining harder, instantly getting him soaked but again, it was no reason to rush. Taking his time he began to walk back to his division building, deciding he could do a few more pages of paperwork for the time being.

It didn't take as long as he suspected to reach the building, entering he could almost instantly feel something was wrong and his blame meter instantly shot toward his vice-captain. He was scared to go see what it was but taking a breath he built up the courage to go see.

A hand on the door knob he swung it open, eyes squinted as the light of the room hit his eyes. Once focused he saw that it wasn't his lieutenant but 2 other soul reapers from his division that was locking swords with his vice-captain. The room was a wreck, couch split open, papers scattered everywhere, his desk was even knocked over. "What is going on!"

Rangiku's eyes shot up at his yell "I don't know. These two came in and just started attacking me!" she kicked one of them away but the other one soon took his place and began clashing swords.

Shunpoed over to the one man on the ground, hovering over him he grabbed the subordinates robes threateningly. "What do you think your doi-" he got cut off as he noticed something wrong about this soul reapers appearance. His eyes were an abnormal blue that seemed to glow. Was he being controlled or something? Scowling he unsheathed his sword and bluntly hit the man upside the head with the bottom of the hilt, knocking the shinigami out.

"Matsumoto, I think they are being controlled. Just knock him out."

Matsumoto nodded and quickly apprehended the offender, giving him a kick to the gut sending him crashing into the wall.

Once both of them were clearly knocked unconscious he began talking again. "Take them down to Unohana and see what she thinks and if she can do anything."

His vice-captain nodded and picked up the two men easily. "Sir?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think they have anything to do with the thing going around. You know, everyone becoming sick?"

The idea didn't occur to him till she mentioned it but he nodded "You can't rule out the possibility."

The blonde women sighed before shunpoing out of the wrecked room to go to the 4th division.

Taking this moment to breath and suck in what had just happened. Looking around the trashed office he could feel a vein poking out of his forehead in annoyance. Is he going to get any breaks? What the hell is happening in the Seireitei!

Dun, dun, dunnn. Okay well... this chapter is kind of depressing but that is my thoughts on how Toshiro thinks about momo because he always blames himself for her being injured and he was very hurt for stabbing her SPOILER!

Hope you liked it and sorry for any spelling errors its hard to keep track xD I'm not the best speller. The next chapter I will try to make it longer then 2000 but no promises. I'll try to get it out quickly for all of you to read.

Thank you all for reading, reviewing and adding it to your favorites or watch I really appriciate it. And sorry for the story being kind of confusing right now, it's still developing and i'm kind of writing this story blindly; meaning that most of it isn't that well planned out and i'm going along with whatever xD

Criticism is welcome 3 Just don't troll.
