Yayy Chapter four!!

WARNING the next couple chapters will have a lot of Toshiro and Momo stuff, not as a couple, depending on the way you look at it, but if you don't really care for them I suggest you skip these next chapters. However, after this set of chapters is done, it'll be mostly about every other character for the rest of the story, I hope you don't mind.

The sharp edges of branches didn't concern Toshiro Hitsugaya as he sped through Menos Forest. He had only one thing on his mind.

Ichigo was chasing after Toshiro as fast as he was able, but that kid was speedy when he's motivated. However, Ichigo knew he had to stop Toshiro. If he tried to fight with those wounds, then he would, undoubtedly be…

"Dance! Sode no Shirayuki" Momo covered her face as ice exploded from Rukia Kuchiki's sword. The gigantic vasto lorde that had grabbed her by surprise released his tight grip around Momo's waist while Rukia's Hakuren blasted at the hollow. Air rushed her in every way as she fell from that height. Maybe she had screamed again, Momo was being banged around so much she couldn't tell.

Her fall was broken by the giant arm catching her once again. She gasped in pain as it squeezed her sharply.

Momo's eyes were so tightly shut she didn't notice anything until she heard the yelling.

"Captain Hitsugaya! Ichigo! Where were you?!" Momo opened her eyes to see Renji yelling at two people emerging from the forest. Her heart leapt with happiness when she saw Toshiro's face. Their eyes locked for a moment. Teal crystals into her brown orbs. Then he shouted her name up to her.

Momo realized that everything had become a blur. The vasto lorde had begun to run from the campsite, still clutching Momo. She screamed when she lost sight of Toshiro.

Everything was rushing around her faster than she could keep track of. Her head was spinning and everything felt fuzzy. When she got a hold of herself enough to see what was happening, Momo realized everything had stopped moving. She looked down and saw that the lower half of the hollow's body was encased in ice.

"Toshiro!!" She desperately yelled

No… he's not supposed to fight.. He can't… in his condition… She thought. She wanted to yell to him, to tell Toshiro to run back, but Momo knew it was no use. Not only was she too weak to raise her voice, but she knew Toshiro well enough. He would never willingly leave her if she was in trouble. She knew he would fight to the death.

Toshiro stood atop one of the highest branches, right in front of the monster holding the only person he'd ever care for more than anything. She was crying, and looking at him so intensely. Toshiro hated her tears. He wished she never cry anymore, and every time a tear fell from her cheek, one fell from his heart. Toshiro covered his feelings with a scowl. He would never let them show. It was something he had promised to himself a long time ago. He had decided that, because Momo was so delicate, he would never let his composure and strength waver. He had to stay strong, to help keep her from falling apart.

"Release her immediately!" He ordered loudly.

The hollow howled, then laughed coldly. "Heh heh, foolish little captain.. Lord Aizen was completely right thinking you would be the only surviving one." The monsters eyes glistened menacingly. "And he told me exactly how to kill you. So I hope you don't mind me borrowing this little girl for a while. She's your childhood friend, is she not?" The monster laughed once again. "I'll be seeing you, very soon." He broke free of the ice and leapt into the forest.

"Like I'd let you!" Toshiro started forward to follow him, but he felt something come up in his mouth. He violently coughed into his hand and saw blood. Suddenly Toshiro felt a rush of pain in his stomach. Doubled over in pain, he breathed heavily and stared forward to were Momo disappeared in frustration.

"Damn it…"

Then he collapsed forward and fell to the ground.

Okay, end of chapter!! I know it was on the short side, but I have a habit of writing short chapters because I don't have much time to write them

NEXT CHAPTER No matter what happens, Toshiro Hitsugaya is determined to fight the Vasto Lorde to save his friend, but will his injuries allow him a victory? Wait and find out!
