The Element Of You: Chapter Five
Next morning Yamamoto was sitting at the end of a large wooden table. Around the table were some of his colleagues sitting and talking. "I'm sorry if I am questioning You, but seriously, are you sure he betrayed us and left to the other side?" man with long white hair asked.
Yamamoto looked at him and sighed "I know it is hard to believe it Ukitake. You treat him like your own son sometimes, but it is true. Hinamori Momo visited me yesterday and told me everything.".
A woman with long black hair named Unohana Retsu took her opportunity and said "Are You sure she wasn't exaggerating? After one look, it is easy to believe all kinds of things, even the worst.".
"Doesn't she like Hitsugaya? And seeing him in other woman's apartment leads easily to wrong conclusions." said a man with a black hair. His face didn't hold any expression.
"It may be true that Hinamori Momo likes Hitsugaya and is jealous. But we aren't talking about relationships Kuchiki Byakuya." Yamamoto said looking Byakuya straight in the eyes. Byakuya looked away and Ukitake said "If it is true that Toushirou I mean Hitsugaya has moved over to the other side of the border, what are we going to do about it? Drag him back?".
"That isn't fair for the kid." said Kyouraku Shunsui lazily. He had long brown hair and easy going attitude.
"We aren't deciding what is fair and what isn't Kyouraku. Hitsugaya left on his own which makes him a traitor. I hope you all remember what treatment we give to traitors, Ukitake?" Yamamoto said and looked at Jyuushiro.
Jyuushiro sighs and said "If we catch them they'll face death."
Ichigo and Rukia were outside Karin's small apartment. "I still can't understand two things." Ichigo says irritated. Rukia looks at him in confusion and tilted her head. "One you let him stay with Karin. Two you somehow were able to drag me here!" he yelled.
"Shut the fuck up! You can leave if you want to. I didn't make you to come, you just came along 'cos you didn't let me drive your fucking car!" she defended. Ichigo turned away and crossed his arms. Rukia was going to knock when Karin opened the door looking at them angrily. She looked sick and combed her messy jet black hair with her fingers. "Hi Karin!" Rukia smiled brightly at her.
"Why aren't you at school?" Ichigo asked annoyed.
"I'm sick as you can see." Karin answered looking as annoyed as her brother. Karin let them come in and closed the door. Ichigo walked to her living room and found something he didn't want to see… "KARIN!" he yelled. Rukia came almost running to the living room while Karin dragged herself behind Rukia.
"Why do you have an alcohol bottle here?" Ichigo asked holding the bottle in his hand. Shit! Karin thought.
"It isn't mine." she defended quickly. "Yea right… If it isn't yours then who's is it?" he asked.
"It's mine." Toushirou said while entering into the living room. He was wearing Karin's black sweatpants and his white T-shirt.
"Wow, you're still alive." Ichigo mocked. "The last time I checked yes I am, thanks to your sister bay the way." Toushirou defended smirking. He walked to Ichigo who was head taller than him. He took the bottle "Thanks." he said and walked into the kitchen.
Karin walked into her room and shut the door behind her. Fucking hangover!!! she thought while placing her pointer fingers on her both temples. Soon she heard knocking "Karin. Can I come in?" Rukia asked. Karin opened the door and let Rukia in. Ichigo mouthed to his sister "We have to talk" and Karin nodded. She closed the door and walked to her closet. Rukia sat on the bed. "Is it okay if I change?" Karin asked her. Rukia shook her head and smiled. Karin grabbed a light blue tank top and a pair of black soccer shorts. After changing she combed her hair and pulled her hair up in a ponytail. She turned to look at Rukia who was laying on her bed and watching the ceiling.
Rukia was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans which's knees were ripped and a black tank top with a matching blouse unzipped. Karin sat next to her and asked "You wanted to talk about something?" Rukia sat up and looked at her feet. Karin saw that Rukia had hard time to pick up the right words. She placed her hand on her shoulder and asked again "You can tell me. What is it?".
Rukia sighed and smiled "It's nothing. Nothing important.". Karin watched as Rukia stood up and walked to the door "Really?" she asked raising an eye brow. Rukia nodded and smiled sweetly at her "Yup. It is nothing I was wondering about something but I forgot what it was." . Karin looked at Rukia for a while but then shrugged.
They exited the room and saw that Ichigo and Toushirou were staring at each other angrily. If a look could kill they both would be dead by now, Rukia thought annoyed and heard Karin laughing a bit. Karin walked up to them and sat on her couch. "Ichi-nii why are you and Rukia here?" Karin asked. Ichigo looked at her "It's about him." he said looking back at Toushirou. "What about me?" Toushirou asked.
Rukia walked closer to them and sat next to Karin while Ichigo leaned against wall. Toushirou was sitting across the couch on an armchair. "This morning my brother called me and told me some urgent news." Rukia said. "You mean Byakuya?" Toushirou asked. Rukia nodded and continued "He had a meeting with the council this morning. The subject was you. Obviously a friend of yours has told them your whereabouts.". Toushirou shocked and looked at his feet. It was that woman from yesterday, Karin thought worried and looked at shocked Toushirou.
For a while no one said anything. "Excuse me. I need to think…" Toushirou said and walked into Karin's room. He shut the door behind him angrily. "Next time that door will break." Ichigo said sighing. He walked around the living room and finally sat next to Rukia on the couch.
"You should maybe leave now." Karin suggested and fingered her jet black hair. "Yea. It didn't went as well as I thought it would." Rukia said standing up. She and Ichigo left and Karin waved after them.
She walked into her room and saw Toushirou sitting on her windowsill. She sat next to him and said "Next time don't unleash your anger on the door. It doesn't deserve it." . Toushirou just sat there staring down.
Karin sighed in boredom "I am not going to sit here and watch you sulking. It ain't fun at all." and hopped back to her room. "You know? If they find you and arrest you I will help you get free." she said to him trying to cheer him a bit.
He just shrugged at her naïve statement and said "It's not them who I am worried about. If I want I can always go back there and explain myself." . He hopped back into her room. "It's just I am upset about Momo's stupid move." he said sighing. Toushirou walked closer to her and touched the cheek where Hinamori had hit her. It was already healed and didn't leave a scar even if it happened yesterday.
Changing the subject Karin said smiling at him "Bay the way I didn't thank you for lying to Ichi-nii about the bottle." .
"Whatever." he said and kissed her forehead. "I don't know why I did it. But it was fun to watch your shocked face when your brother found it." he whispered into her ear.
He place his hands on her waist and brought her even closer. Karin looked him in the eyes and brought her hands around his neck. He kissed her lightly on her lips. Once he felt Karin kissing him back he started to add more pressure on it. Karin combed his snowy white hair with her fingers while his one hand had disappeared under her shirt and the other hand held her waist. He backed her slowly against the wall. Karin's tongue fought against his and she moaned deeply and slowly. Toushirou smiled against her lips and he pinned her hands above her head. He removed her shirt and watched her upper body. Karin blushed and looked away. She got her hands free and placed her warm small hands under his shirt. She lifted his shirt off and dropped it on the floor.
Toushirou again pinned her hands above her head and kissed her on the lips. He licked her lips and demanded to enter which Karin allowed happily. As their tongues fought for dominance Toushirou released his hands and lifted Karin up in his arms. He placed her on her bed and pulled away a bit. Karin was blushing like a tomato and she looked the floor. Toushirou placed his pointer finger under her chin and lifted her face up so that she looked him in the eyes. Karin cupped his face and kissed him again. He lifted himself above her and put his both hands next to Karin's waist. While kissing him Karin moved her lips lower and started kissing his jaw line. Then his neck. She put more pressure on her kisses and soon stopped on his pulse. Karin lifted their positions so that she was on top now. Toushirou laid on his elbows and looked at her onyx eyes. Karin wore a mysterious smile on her lips.
"Let's see how long you can stay still?" she said and pushed him on his back. Karin kissed his lips and felt him responding. She lifted herself up and placed her pointer finger on his lips "You just stay still." she said and removed her finger. She smiled innocently and watched his teal eyes. Toushirou nodded and relaxed. Karin kissed his lips and then his jaw. She nibbled his earlobe and whispered into his ear "If you move or try anything I'm gonna make you pay."
"Like how?" he answered. Karin chuckled into his ear and said "You'll see."
She licked his jaw line and started kissing her way back down to his neck. She sucked and licked his neck which made him moan deeply. Karin smiled against his neck and kept going. She kissed her way down to his belly button and licked it. After that she kissed her way back up and placed butterfly kisses along the way. Karin looked at his face and saw that his eyes were closed. She kissed his lips and held there for a while. She pulled away and watched as he opened his eyes.
"Looks like I won." Toushirou said smirking. Karin pouted. He kissed her on her lips and licked her lips demanding to enter. Karin smiled against his lips and complied. While their tongues fought Toushirou moved their positions so that he was now on top. When they pulled away he smiled seductively at her "How about we try the same game on you?".
Ukitake and Kyouraku were sitting outside Ukitake's mansion. They haven't been speaking for a while. Ukitake looked around "Someone's coming." he stated. Kyouraku nodded and drank his sake. Matsumoto approached before them. Her long strawberry blond hair was open and she was wearing black jeans and light red blouse revealing a bit too much of her breasts. She bowed and looked both of them.
"I am sorry to disturb you, but I really have to speak with someone about him." she said sounding nervous. Ukitake looked at Kyouraku. Kyouraku sighed and stood up. He left them to speak alone.
"Sit." Ukitake said and pointed the seat next to him where Kyouraku had just sat. Matsumoto sat and clasped her hands together. "Is it true that he just left?" she asked looking at her hands.
Ukitake sighed and didn't say anything for a while. He just looked the garden before him until he looked back at worried Matsumoto. "Yes he left…" those words made her wince, but Ukitake continued "…but I believe he did have a good reason for it. He had never been near the border and I know that he had been interested in the other side of it for long."
Matsumoto looked at him confused "You knew that he would someday just leave like this?". Ukitake nodded and continued "I knew he would leave some day. But I never knew when. Each time we were talking he asked me about the other side. He's most favorite question was 'what kind of fighters are they?' or something like that."
Matsumoto chuckled and let her look drift back to her hands. She sniffed and asked "Do you think he will come back?"
Ukitake thought about it for a moment and said "Maybe he will maybe he won't. But I think that now that he had left to the other side I believe he won't be coming back for a while.". Matsumoto gasped and looked at him. Ukitake nodded and continued "Think about it like this. You have wanted to do something so long that you could almost sell your soul or element for it. And once you have done it you…" Matsumoto interrupted him "…you never want to let it go. I know"
Ukitake smiled at her and grabbed her hand gently. "He will manage." ha said and let go of her hand. Ukitake stood up and left. Matsumoto also stood up and started slowly walking back to her house. I'm pathetic! Here I am crying about that idiot who left. I should do something useful, she thought. She stopped in front of stone wall. This fucking border is messing up with our lives. Creating hallucinations into our minds and consumes them, she thought while placing one hand on the wall. She started walking next to it. Come to think of even I haven't been at the other side of this fucking THING!!! she thought again growing angrier.
Matsumoto kneeled down on the soft grass and placed her both hands on the wall. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Using her earth element she created a whole on the wall. She hummed happily and went through it. This is gonna be fun, she thought and started walking along the night's dark streets.
"Did you hear something?" asked black haired man with 69 tattoo on his face.
Renji looked at his friend Hisagi Shuuhei and raised an eye brow. "You sure you ain't tired? I mean you have been guarding now… How long was it?" he said.
"My shift started yesterday 7 pm." Hisagi said. Renji looked at his stubborn friend for a while and then shrugged. Weird is a right word to describe him sometimes, he thought and went back to sleep against the wall.
"Oi, if you're gonna go back to sleep, why don't you just leave? It isn't fun to listen your snoring." Hisagi said to Renji. Renji opened his eyes and looked at Hisagi. He shrugged and grabbed his dark brown coat on a chair.
"Fine. See you in the morning." Renji said and flash stepped away. After Renji was completely gone Hisagi looked around. He heard someone moving in the bushes. I knew someone was here! he thought and grabbed his knife. Hisagi wasn't an element bender but he's fighting skills were as good as one's with an element. Hisagi also was able to move as fast as them.
He moved in front of the bushes and waited. Someone rushed out of the bushes and stumbled against his making him fall on his back. "Son of bitch!" he cursed and placed his hand on his head. Hisagi opened his eyes and saw a strawberry blond woman with very large breasts dressed in black jeans and red shirt. Hisagi slowly stood up and stared confusingly at her.
Matsumoto backed away and created vines around herself for protection. Hisagi also backed away and held his knife tightly in his hand. "Who are you?" he asked in a low voice.
"None of your businesses!" Matsumoto yelled and swallowed.
Hisagi chuckled "It is missy. You came here and this isn't your home."
"You're right it isn't. Neither is it Hitsugaya's but you still allow him stay here." Matsumoto stated angrily.
"What?" Hisagi asked. He didn't know that here was another outsider in their side of the border. Matsumoto used her vines and threw Hisagi against the wall and pinned him there. Hisagi dropped his knife and tried to get free.
"Don't bother. They won't loose." Matsumoto chuckled and started walking to Hisagi's knife. She grabbed it and studied it. Hisagi still tried to get free.
Suddenly Matsumoto was threw against a tree with a strong breeze. Hisagi turned his head and saw Renji smirking at Matsumoto. "What are you doing here?" Hisagi asked.
Renji walked up to Hisagi and used his air element as a saw to release him. Once Hisagi was free he grabbed Renji by his shirt and lifted him up, "You just couldn't come any sooner!" he yelled.
"After your stupid comment I left, remember? I had already made it kinda far until I sensed that woman." Renji defended and lifted his hand up. Hisagi sighed and released Renji. They both looked at Matsumoto who struggled to stand up again. Renji chuckled at his little rescue operation which went amazingly well and walked up to Matsumoto. Matsumoto looked shocked at Renji and was able to stand up again.
"Don't come any closer you fucking air bender!" she yelled.
Renji smirked at her "Or what?" he asked. Hisagi pulled Renji back by his shirt and smacked him against the ground.
"You stay right there." Hisagi said and locked his eyes at Matsumoto. Renji sat on the ground and pouted.
Hisagi stepped closer to Matsumoto same time Matsumoto withdrew further. "Shit, will you stop moving already. Look at you, you're obviously hurt." Hisagi said irritated.
Matsumoto placed one of her hands on her ribs and winced. "Way to go pineapple head! My right ribs are fucking broken now!" she yelled and fired daggers at Renji with her icy blued eyes. Renji sighed and said "Whatever".
Hisagi looked at Renji and asked "Bay the way Renji. Why didn't anyone tell me that here's another outsider in our territory?"
Renji looked at his friend and smiled goofily "I guess I forgot to tell you. He he.".
Hisagi looked at his friend confused "Forgot? How in the fucking hell were you able to forgot to tell me that here's a fucking enemy!" he yelled.
"Will you shut the hell up! Don't blame only me. Strawberry, Rukia and Karin know that also." Renji defended.
Hisagi's face went red in anger and was going to yell at him, but he was interrupted by Matsumoto, "Will you two ladies shut the fuck up and tell me where my friend is?"
Renji and Hisagi looked at her, then back at each other's. Renji sighed and stood up "You obviously ain't gonna leave without him, aren't you?". Matsumoto shook her head in negative. "Fine. I'll take you to him, but not now. You're hurt so we're gonna have to take you to Urahara." Renji said.
Hisagi looked to Matsumoto and asked "Are able to walk?"
Matsumoto stepped once and winced. "Y-yea, I can if you'll walk slowly.". Both men nodded and started walking with her to Urahara's.
Far away in Hinamori's house Momo was sitting in her armchair watching TV. She searched something worth to watch, but soon grew bored and closed it. She stood up and entered into her balcony and welcomed the cool night air to her face. She opened her bun and let her jet black hair fall down to her shoulders. I hope the council would start searching him… she thought and sat on the railing. They are just so fucking formal and weak when it comes to traitor. Even the progress to bring him back is going to take months! she thought furiously and created aura of fire around herself.
She calmed down and walked back to her living room. Hinamori grabbed her purse and took a card out of it. It said:
"If you need any help to bring him back, give us a call."
-Aizen Sousuke
Hinamori thought about it for a while. The member who betrayed the council with two of his colleagues Ichimaru Gin and Tousen Kaname. I wonder… Hinamori grabbed her phone and made a call.
