--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish that I could bring you back

I wish that I could turn back time

Cuz I can't let go

I just can't find my way

Yeah

Without you I just can't find my way

Hitsugaya was lost without her, he could not think straight, and he did not sleep one night that was not haunted by nightmares.

He glanced at her again; her long, brown hair was ruffled and spread out over the pillow. Her once peaceful face, was pale and emotionless, her breaths were short and fast.

Whenever the devices beeped, more fear filled Hitsugaya's heart. Since they symbolized her heartbeats, he feared that each one could be the last.

Soul Society was supposed to be a perfect and safe place where those who passed away could find a time of relaxation and hope. They could start over again, a new beginning, it was supposed to be a faultless paradise.

But now, Hitsugaya knew that those were all lies, it was not a paradise in the slightest. And Hitsugaya could not believe that Aizen did not even regret his actions in the slightest. The only reason he had pretended to respect Hinamori was to manipulate her, and later, get ride of her. As the light began to fade from the room, Hitsugaya realized the time, and with one last longing glance at the girl who might never awaken, Hitsugaya stood to his feet, and slowly exited the room.

In a perfect world

This could never happen

In a perfect world

You'd still be here

And it makes no sense

I could just pick up the pieces but to you

This means noting, nothing at all

The 10th division taichou sat at the desk in his office with his head in his hands. Matsumoto kept glancing worriedly at him, thinking that he might be sick. A pile of unfinished paperwork sat in the corner of the room. Matsumoto had finished her own and had started her taichou's for him.

She knew he was being tortured slowly, dreading that each day he went to the 4th division, could be the day he found out that Hinamori would not wake up. He could not concentrate, nor think straight; sorrow and misery clouded his mind.

He was all alone now.

Matsumoto prayed that Hinamori would wake up, not only because she wanted her to, nor that many other Shinigami wanted her to. She wanted her to wake up, mostly for her taichou's sake. He was waiting for her to wake up, and at this rate, Matsumoto feared that he would have to wait forever.

I don't know what I should do now

I don't know where I should go

I'm still here waiting for you

I'm lost when you're not around

I need to hold on to you

I just can't let you go

Yeah yeah
