"Enough" the voice broke the spell of the kido that had let the three watchers look into the mind of the sleeping boy as his face was contoured of such raw pain it openly hurt the healers eyes to see the boy relive these moments. How many times had she asked and pushed for them not to use this form of kido on his mind? Shiro was just starting to heal not only in his body but his mind was slowly also healing from the wounds flicked on it. Just out spite of wanting lost captain of the tenth back, the pair of male watchers had pushed for this happen to find out the why of what happen those months Hitsugaya had been gone from their world.

Had they once more ruined the boy by doing this? Damaged any progressed all these months of working with Shiro to heal up? How would Matsumoto take this news? Most likely cause her own one woman war on the 13th Captain and their Leader for doing this to her Shiro. Watching the images faded from their sight in a darken haze as she only reached down to gentle push back the sweat socked locks of the pained child. Unohana Retsu also was at much fault as the two now very quite men in the room for giving into their demands as she had this day. Telling them over and over that Shiro was not mentally ready for this just yet. It maybe years before his mind could handle the real memories of what had happened in the cage of ashen white.

"Will he be ok Retsu?" Ukitake softly asked, sorrow woven into his tone from the things he had just seen. The long haired man could not even set eyes on the boy with out having the guilt rushing to drain his mind. Would the young soul be ok? Had they broken him again just to find out a few answers for their needs and not thinking of the effect it would have in the backlash of Shiro at all? How could he even call himself a friend and captain to this boy for his own greed?

Sighing, Retsu only looked at the man for the moment with a sharp and worn out gaze" I can not say till he wakes up in a hour or so from this event."

Yamamoto Soutaichou too had been put into a silence of his own thoughts for the moment. Aizen was a twisted man more then he had thought from the long out drawn Winter War that had come to a lull for the last year or so. He had made no move at all but a few hollows in the living world or on the edges of this one. Could he be pu to something more behind the Iron Curtain he had forged? Aizen was a intelligent man beyond his years and still growing in power. That was the true fright of that man of what he could still become if they did not stop him now drove the Soutaichou to end this all now.

Walking out of the room, his voice called over his shoulders "Send me a report on how the boy turns out in the few days."

Feeling the eyes of the Forth Captain's on his back till he left the room. Even he had some fear of the woman when she truly got angry under the motherly mask she showed most of the time. Never scorn a woman he had learned more then in one slap to his cheek in his younger days as a shinigami to be in school.

"Don't think him heartless Retsu, he had hoped Shiro's memories might give us some insight if Aizen is planning something more then what we have been finding out the last months. Yamamoto Soutaichou thinks Aizen let Shiro go on purpose for something or other in some kind of plot of any kind. Who knows how the mind words of a devil like that basterd." Ukikake was not a man of harsh tones or words, but when it came to the bitterness of lives lost for the war on one man's plot to be god. "That is his biggest fear for the boy. That will be used as a tool for Aizen in the coming months. It why we watch him so close as we do for any kind of sign at all"

She only nodded in his understanding of their leader for the moment yet her job was also to protect the poor child. Giving him time to heal at least even if was just a short rest. "I know, but let's leave Shiro-sama alone for the time being. Do not push him like this anymore and nor will I let either of you near him again for this ugly quest of answers. Do I make myself clear?"

Oh he got the tone to well even if was soft as a feather, the promise she made and threat was clear was enough for him to exit the room with out much of a word of good bye to his old friend and healer these many years. Retsu was a truly freighting woman that even the 11th respected and fear with a healthy rule following when she came into the rooms.

Now the woman could only wait till the boy was awake to see if any damage had been done or if recalled anything at all..

In his own dreams, he had been taken to plain of ice and snow that was inner world. Away from the memories and unaware of what had been seen in some form by the protection of the dragon that kept his soul safe in the plain of ice. Peace was kept here for his sake and his sake alone. The dragon that was born from soul and yet its own keeper had wanted to slay those two men for forcing his boy into those darken hells once more. Had they no shame at all? Or concept of guilt of what it might do?

Shiro was not going to remember this for some time till his mind healed a bit more and could have the strength to deal with them. Hyōrinmaru would protect his wielder from anyone who would dare to harm him again.. Yet he also felt that something was going to change from this, something deep in the boy was awaking...

But what?

So many things where happening at once in the mind of the boy, feeling on the outer plains of the ice world a pair of teal eyes peered from behind a wall of ice into the endless skyline of grey. What they had done had made something come to life in the soul of Shiro that had been nearly washed away in the darkness and blood..

Notes:
Well, the reason for no updates is my grandmother passed away three weeks ago and also getting to move in a short while. Also having some major Writers Blocking had not helped me at all the last few days. Yet I did get a chapter done after two weeks of trying! Yah!
