Ichigo could feel his heart pounding in his chest, something horrible had happened to Toushirou, he just knew it. Grabbing Kon he quickly swallowed the pill and with out further ado leaped out the window with Kon shouting something about not telling him what was going on.
Ichigo flashed stepped the rest of the way to Urahara's and upon arrival burst into the shop.
"Urahara!"
The owner of the shop came out waving his fan as usual, smiling pleasantly.
"Ah, Ichigo! What brings you here in such a rush?"
"Is Toushirou in the Soul Society?!?"
Urahara waved his fan nonchalantly, ignoring the panic of the substitute soul reaper.
"I would assume so."
"Can you check?!?"
"I could but don't worry, he just got back, I doubt the soul society would send him on a mission so soon."
Ichigo forced himself to calm down, Urahara was right, and he was being stupid, Toushiou was fine, he was probably yelling at Rangiku, there was nothing to worry about. Even as he realized this Ichigo still couldn't shake the feeling that Toushirou was in trouble.
Toushirou slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a very dark, hot, small room. His arms where chained above his head and there was a collar around his neck and on top of that he had a splitting headache. His mind searched for his Hyorinumaru and made a weak connection which he quickly blocked, he would not allow Hyrorinumaru suffer with him.
I think I'm in trouble he thought as there came the sound of footsteps and then of the door being unlocked. Aizen and Gin stepped into the room.
"Welcome Hitsugaya-kun, I hope you will enjoy your stay here, I know I will." Aizen smiled cruelly at him and Toushirou felt the blood drain from his face.
Aizen began pacing around him, circling him like a predator circles its prey, all the while smiling.
"What the hell do you want Aizen?" Toushriou barked angrily, finally getting tired of the pacing.
"Temper"
Aizen warned in a falsely kind voice. He came to a stop in front of the young captain.
"The truth is I'm board and you are going to entertain me."
The smile widened and Toushirou's eyes narrowed angrily.
"We'll see about that." He snarled.
Aizen chuckled evilly, "Yes, yes we will."
Toushirou heard the crack of a whip and felt pain lance across his back again and again and again, all the while he glared at Aizen's smiling face.
By the time they left him alone not only was his back bleeding but the rest of him as well. He had several broken ribs and fingers. Despite the amount of pain he was in Toushirou felt a certain amount of pride in that he hadn't let the screams escape his lips. He closed his eyes with a fain filled sigh in an attempt to get some sleep his last thoughts was of Ichigo, the letter in his desk and that he probably would never get to say the words out loud to his beloved.
Ichigo lay awake staring up at the dark ceiling, it was one O' clock in the morning and he really should get some sleep but it just wouldn't come. For the past few nights Ichigo had been unable to get any sleep. He knew why of course, even with Urahara's reassurance he was still worried about Toushirou.
The strawberry finally gave up on getting any amount of sleep. He stood grabbed Kon and after extracting the pill, swallowed it before heading out.
He killed several hollows to try and get rid of the sickening feeling he had in the pit of his stomach but it didn't help calm his nerves at all.
Soon he gave up that as well and simply when to wait for Urahara's store to open so he could demand that this time he really checked that the young captain was in the Soul Society.
Ichigo woke at the sound of a door slamming, he rubbed his eyes, must have fallen asleep he thought as he looked around.
"Oi! What the hell are you doing here?!"
The strawberry looked around to see Jinta standing with his hands on his hips, glaring at him. Ichigo pushed himself up and stretched.
"I'm here to see Urahara."
Jinta glowered at him before snorting.
"All right, I guess I can let an idiot like you in."
A vein popped on Ichigo's forehead.
"Who you calling an idiot." He hissed but otherwise ignored the comment.
Jinta laughed evilly but let the strawberry inside.
"Ichigo!" Urahara greeted. "This is a pleasant surprise, or at least it would be if it weren't your twelfth visit this week."
Ichigo blushed slightly at his words, "Yeah, well . . ." Ichigo struggled to find a good reason for his sudden frequent visits only to have the former twelfth division captain save him the trouble.
"It so happens that today I do have a message for you from Rangiku."
The strawberry's heart leapt to his throat as he took the note for Urahara and opened it.
"Oi! Lil' Captain, it's time for more fun!"
Toushirou felt something sharp and very, very hot poke his side. He let out a pain filled gasp as his eyes flew open to find Gin standing in front of him holding a hot poker in his hand.
The young captain glared at Gin but didn't respond to his taunts. Gin's smile widen "Ya know lil' captain, Captain Aizen's give'n me permission ta do whatever I please ta get ya ta scream."
Gin's cold hand came forward and caught Toushirou's chin in a vice like grip. He forced the young boys head up so that Toushirou had no choice but to look at that terrible smile. The smile widen at the look of defiance in the young captain's eyes.
Gin had always wanted to have a chance to break him. "Lets have some fun." He whispered in Toushirou's ear. In the end he screamed.
