Well here comes chapter four I wonder what will happen this time, I don't honestly know.
"...let's not think about it tonight...instead let's DRINK!" She suddenly shouted happily, which Kira and Hisagi quickly agreed to.
Four Months Ago
"I am sorry Lieutenant Matsumoto but I can not grant your request." Yamamoto, Head Captain of the Gotei 13 said sternly. "But Head Captain." The strawberry blond known as Matsumoto protested only to be silenced by the old man before her. "That is enough, lieutenant, we are at war...granting your request simply is not possible right now." Yamamoto replied his reiatsu flaring slightly as he spoke. "Now return to your station." The old man commanded. "Yes, Head Captain." Matsumoto replied bowing deeply, before she straightened herself and turned on her heels leaving the 1st division.
"Captain Kuchiki, reporting from the front lines sir." Said a low ranking shinigami as he bowed down in front of Kuchiki Byakuya who was the commander of the 6th division. The black haired noble nodded permitting the man to speak. "We've had over 100 fatalities and nearly as many have been severely injured, Lieutenant Abarai is currently in battle with an Espada and he's holding his own...barely" Reported the man his voice shaking.
"I see, how are the other divisions fairing?" Asked the noble as calmly as if he were asking about the weather. "Th-the 1st division has lost only about 60 men and have had about 100 injuries, the 2nd division has not lost more than 5 or 6 men and have had few injuries." The man said still bowed before his captain. "Captain Soi Fon is also in battle with an Espada, the 3rd division has lost twice as many men as we have however those who are left have few injuries. The 4th division is doing the best they can to save as many officers as possible." Rattled off the man Captain Kuchiki nodding as he listened. "The 5th division has fallen apart and have almost been completely wiped out." The man said solemnly, the 5th division had lost their Captain and Lieutenant and their 3rd seat was a coward.
"Captain Komamura is currently engaged with the traitor Tousen, while his division has lost a third of their forces....I do not have information on the 8th, 9th, 12th and 13th divisions, but I have heard that Captain's Kyoraku and Ukitake are in battle together, the 10th division has suffered heavy losses and Captain Hitsugaya is fighting along side Substitue Shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo against Aizen himself." The man said in a slightly panicked tone. "The 11th division has lost few men but many have been severely injuries. Maderame Ikkaku has unleashed his Bankai in battle against another Espada, Captain Zaraki is fighting Ichimaru...that's all I know Captain." The man finished hastily.
"I see...you are dismissed."Captain Kuchiki said calmly though the man had reeled back in fear sensing his Captain's displeasure at the fact that the man knew nothing of his adoptive sister's whereabouts, or weather she was injured or not. By the time the man recovered Captain Kuchiki had all ready departed and the man was now alone.
"Damn it!" Kurosaki Ichigo cursed as another of his attacks hit an illusion he and Hitsugaya Toushiro were both badly injured, yet Aizen only had one minor injury and that was only from a lucky hit. "Toushiro look out!" The orange haired substitute shinigami called out as the traitor brought his sword down. "Damn." The white haired captain said as he barely dodged the attack, his reaction time was slowing down from blood loss. "How the hell are we suppose to beat him...if we can't land a hit?" Hitsugaya thought glaring at the brown haired man, with a never fading fatherly smile, a smile that taunted them.
Hitsugaya and Ichigo were panting heavily as they regrouped a few yards away from Aizen. "Toushiro...any ideas?" Ichigo asked as he tried to steady his breathing. "...None that would actually work." The smaller shinigami replied the air around him dropping below freezing as his anger rose. "Great, so we're winging it." Replied the teen as he glared at the traitor Aizen.
"You might as well surrender, no matter how hard you fight...you will fall. As will all of the Seireitei." Aizen said coolly his fatherly smile ever present. "We'll never surrender, as long as were alive there's a chance we can beat you, and we'll find it...and we'll kill you" Ichigo said anger coursing through his body as he tightened his grip on his zanpakuto. "As I have told Hitsugaya-kun, 'do not say such strong words, it makes you look weak.' " The man replied just as coolly smirking as Hitsugaya growled his anger rising further.
"B-bastard!!" Hitsugaya growled out his rage escalating to a point beyond his control, before he launched himself at Aizen his own zanpakuto raised high before he brought it down releasing a huge dragon made of water and ice at the traitor. Aizen merely smirked as he was encased in ice, however within moments he disappeared and reappeared a few yards away. "Ugh!!" The brown haired man groaned as he looked down to find Hitsugaya's zanpakuto impaled in his stomach. "H-how did you get past...my absolute hypnosis?!" Aizen asked in shock but he quickly calmed his fatherly smile returning. "I can see...by your expression that you do not know how you got past it...it was merely a fluke that you were able to strike me." The man said calmly almost as if he were speaking with a small child. "But I've shown that it is possible to get past your so called absolute hypnosis." The white haired shinigami said with a smirk before he tore his zanpakuto through Aizen's stomach.
"Yes I suppose that is true...however without the knowledge of how you got past my absolute hypnosis, you will not...be able to do it again." He replied calmly despite the huge gash in his side. "It's a shame you did not aim for my heart you could have ended this in a single blow." The man continued tauntingly. "Getsuga Tensho!!" Ichigo shouted suddenly as a black energy wave outlined red tore through the sky and connected with Aizen's back. "Heh looks like you forgot about me and let your 'absolute hypnosis' down. " The man clad in black said with a cocky smirk, as Aizen turned to glare at his attacker.
"And would you look at that, it looks like most of your Espada have been taken down...hell looks like Tousen bit the dust too." Ichigo said with a smirk as he titled his head towards the direction where Tousen had been fighting before and it was true, his reiatsu had vanished completely. The brown haired man let out another growl before several garganta opened up in the sky and a yellow light fell down engulfing Aizen, Ichimaru, and his remaining Espada. "We shall retreat for now but...you will pay for this." The man said with a growl, for once he actually appeared angry.
"Damn it! get back here you coward." Ichigo cursed though he made no move to stop the man he knew it would be no use trying to stop him, he was all ready in another dimmension, out of their reach. Within minutes Aizen and his army had retreated back to Hueco Mundo, suffering heavy losses. "Well...at least we did some damage." Ichigo said with a sigh as his Bankai faded. "...Kurosaki..."Hitsugaya said softly as he began to slip from consciousness, he had suffered more injuries than Ichigo and it was taking it's toll now. "Toushrio!!" The subsititue shinigami shouted as he ran over to the young captain to catch him before he fell. "...Kurosaki...you...contact...the 4th division..." The white haired shinigami panted out tiredly before losing consciousness.
"Toushiro...damn it Toushiro wake up!!" Ichigo shouted as he tried to wake the smaller boy. "D-damn it." He cursed as he landed on the ground, if only he could summon those hell butterflies like the others.
"ICHIGO!!!" Came the call of a girl with short black hair, she was injured but not to badly. "Rukia, contact the 4th division hurry Toushiro's been really badly injured!" Ichigo shouted back to the girl as she approached. "R-right." Rukia replied nodded before she summoned a hell butterfly. "Captain Unohana this is Kuchiki Rukia, requesting immediate medical assistance, Captain Hitsugaya is badly injured and has lost consciousness." The black haired girl said to the black butterfly.
"Understood, I will be there shortly." Came a kind voice from the black butterfly. Rukia nodded in understanding. "Ichigo, Captain Unohana is on her way." She said walking over to Ichigo as he held Hitsugaya in his arms protectively. "...Ichigo, what happened?" The black haired girl asked worriedly. "...Toushiro and I were fighting Aizen, we got in a lucky hit when we first attacked him, but after that we just hit illusions. We were losing pretty bad and Aizen decided to taunt Toushiro to the point that all thought just went out the window, Toushiro attacked Aizen and hit an illusion but used a flash step to get where Aizen was and stabbed him in the stomach, then he tore his Hyorinmaru through...and Aizen was so distracted he forgot about me and I was able to hit him with a Getsuga Tensho." Ichigo explained as he stared down at his unconscious companion. "He tried to shrug it off but I pointed out he was losing men and even Tousen had been defeated and they retreated." The orange haired man added looking up at Rukia.
"I see...that explains why they retreated so suddenly." Rukia mused to herself. "...Rukia." Came a deep voice from behind the three, causing the two conscious shinigami to turn and look. "Nii-sama!?" "Byakuya!?" They said at the same time upon seeing the head of the Kuchiki family. "I am glad to see you are all right." He replied calmly looking at Rukia. "...Yes...I'm fine I only received minor injuries...but Captain Hitsugaya was badly injured, I've all ready contacted Captain Unohana." She replied looking towards the unconscious captain, Byakuya merely nodded in understanding.
Within a few minutes a woman with black hair tied in a braid in front of her followed by a very tall woman with silverish hair. "Captain Unohana." Ichigo said in relief that the greatest healer of the Seireitei had finally arrived. "Isane." Unohana said softly to the taller woman. "Yes Captain." She replied before set down a white sheet down on the ground. "Ichigo-kun, please set Captain Hitsugaya down on the sheet." The black haired woman said softly. "Right." Ichigo replied nodding before he walked over to the sheet and set him down on the sheet.
"Please step back." Unohana said softly, the orange haired shinigami nodded and stepped back with Rukia and Byakuya while Unohana and Isane began to treat Hitsugaya's injuries.
"...I see, you're dismissed." The Head Captain said to the low ranking officer, several days before Aizen and his forces had launched an all out attack on the Seireitei, causing heavy losses and demolishing an entire division. Yamamoto Genryusai sighed to himself as he sat in his office looking out the window. "...I suppose it was inevitable...we are at war after all." The old man said to himself. "This is Head Captain Yamamoto, all captains report to the 1st division for an emergency meeting." The old man said sternly to the black butterfly.
After all the Captains gathered Yamamoto stood from his chair and looked out over the meeting room studying the faces of the remaining captains, they were all exhausted and deeply saddened, with the exceptions of Zaraki who looked deeply satisfied and Kurotsuchi who appeared to be disappointed over not obtaining a live test subject. when the Head Captain's eyes landed on the space between Kyoraku and Kurotsuchi, he allowed his eyes to linger for a moment. "Several hours ago, Aizen and his remaining forces retreated, I have received reports that Substitue Shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo and Captain Hitsugaya Toushiro...drove the traitor Aizen Sosuke back after severely injuring him." Yamamoto explained to the present captain's "However Captain Hitsugaya was also severely injured and is currently in the 4th division." He went on to explain looking to Captain Unohana.
"Captain Unohana, how is Captain Hitsugaya?" The Head Captain asked the kind woman. "He's stable...and none of his injuries are as bad as I first thought however he lost quite a lot of blood, and used up most of his reiatsu in the battle, so he will likely be unconscious for at least a week." Captain Unohana explained softly. "I see." Replied the Head Captain nodding.
"That is good, now...I called you all here for a reason." Yamamoto said suddenly drawing the other captain's attention, who each nodded."Damage report?" With that the captains began to explain the damage that each of their divisions sustained.
