THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH!

Unohana

Unohana sped down the frozen hallway, rushing past her division members as they huddled together. Another blast of Hitsugaya's reitsu froze a few windows. Some members shuddered. Unohana ignored them, continuing down the hall.

She finally reached where Isane's reitsu was, as well as the source of the small indoor blizzard. She burst in to find a frantic fukataicho and a few better trusted members attempting to help the small form of Toshiro.

His body was jerking wildly, frame trembling, breath coming in short gasps.

"Unohana-taicho!" Isane cried in relief, "Please! I don't know what to do!"

Her eyes sought her superior's calm face desperately, not knowing what to do. Unohana rushed forward. After listening to what the arrancar had to say, she had an idea of what may have been happening.

Unohana stepped forward, at the same time saying, "Isane. Hold him down."

INTRUDER! INTRUDER IN SEREITEI!

Outside, they were shouting about an intruder.

"Isane, ignore them. We have more important matters at the moment." Unohana said.

Isane immediately followed her orders, and her taicho stepped forward, reaching for the device at his neck. Another jerk of his body sent another wave of ice and wind blowing out. His face was clammy, breathing seemed to get more and more difficult.

"Isane! Make sure he doesn't move!" Unohana cried.

Isane leapt forward, holding the small boy in her hands. Grabbing a few tools for surgery, Unohana began.

"I must remove the device. Hold him still." she said one last time, and dove forward.

Toshiro

It hurt. It felt as though someone was hammering on his skull. His chest...his chest... it was on fire. It burned so much! He wanted to scream out. Scream and yell and sob. To rip out his own heart, to kill himself, anything to rid himself of the pain.

Then, the burning dulled, instead of burning,bit turned numb. Ice-cold numb. The hammering in his head slowed down to a small throb. His chest stopped burning. And his neck, it felt weird. As though someone was removing a part of him.

Too tired now, he slowly stopped thinking, of the pain, of life, of dying. And he slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

Momo

They had finally revealed that the intruder had been, in fact, just a lone arrancar, who had simply taken the other arrancar Unohana-taicho had fought, back with him to Heuco Mundo. It didn't matter anymore. Momo dipped the brush into the ink once more, and suddenly, a large gust of wind blew past. She shivered, and continued.

"Why is it so cold?" she wondered aloud. Then she froze.

Wait... cold...?

Turning, she looked outside to find snow, slowly drifting to the floor. Snow? It was light, but it was there. The powdery, white fluff really was there, landing on the floor, buildings, trees.

Momo smiled slightly, and turned back to her work.

Snow huh? Haven't seen that in a while.

Shiro-chan...

Unohana

She stood there, panting slightly, gazing down at the small figure on the bed. He had finally quieted down. His body no longer shook, and his breathing slowly went back to normal. The device that was once connected to his neck was now in Unohana's hand, the wound from ripping it out sealed with kido. Isane slowly relaxed her grip on Hitsugaya.

"Isane. It should be fine now. Lets move him to another room, and let him get some rest. You may get some rest afterwards as well." she said.

"Hai, Taicho." Isane replied, and carefully picked up Hitsugaya, and left the room.

One week later...

Toshiro

He groaned softly. His head still hurt. Slowly, his hand traveled towards his head.

Wait. Did his hand just move?

He gave a small gasp of surprise in being able to control his own limbs, and the door opened.

Unohana

Unohana walked to Hitsugaya's room to check on him, but when she opened the door, she was in for a big surprise.

There, on the bed, was Hitsugaya, with his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.

"Hitsugaya-kun?" she asked softly. How he reacted was the last thing she was expecting.

He flinched at her voice, and sat straight up, struggling to get on to his feet.

"Hitsugaya-kun, you mustn't do that. You're still injured!" she cried.

That seemed to scare him even more, for he gave a gasp, and fell off the bed, on to the floor. There, trembling, he backed away to the wall, eyes darting back and forth the room. His movements were jerky and uncoordinated, for it seemed that it had been a while since he had used any muscle, other than those necessary to scream.

"Hitsugaya-kun...?" she asked.

Slowly, she walked forward, finally stopping in front of him. Bending down, she put one hand softly on his shoulder.

He gasped and jerked wildly out of her grasp, trembling from head to toe, backing into the corner.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me anymore!" he whimpered.

His eyes continued to dart around, not focusing on the person kneeling in front of him. Hesitantly, Unohana put a hand in front of his face, and waved.

He made no response.

His eyes continued to jump from place to place, unfocused. Thats when Unohana finally understood.

"Toshiro. Can you see me?" she asked softly. When he flinched at her voice, she continued. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm helping you. You're away from the torture now. You're safe!"

Slowly and cautiously, she put one hand on his shoulder, and began healing the wounds that had opened again. Visibly relaxing, he seemed to trust her more now.

"Can you see me?" she asked again.

Shaking his head, he replied, "No. I can't see anything. There's nothing there. Nothing but darkness."

Unohana sighed. "Toshiro, I'm going to-"

"Toshiro?" the small boy interrupted. Unohana froze.

"Yes. Toshiro. Thats your name." She said slowly.

"Toshiro... Toshiro. ..Hit...hit...hitsugaya Toshiro?" he whispered.

"Yes. Thats your name. Hitsugaya Toshiro. An I'm Unohana Retsu." she confirmed. "Toshiro, your injuries are still bad. You need to rest, so I'm going to put you back in bed, alright?"

He nodded hesitantly, and reluctantly let Unohana pick him up and set him back on the bed. She changed a few of his bandages and healed a few wounds, and left.

Closing the door behind her, she walked away swiftly. "Isane!" she called, "Go inform the soutaicho. Hitsugaya-kun has woken up."

"He has!?" Isane asked, surprised.

"Yes. I wish to call a Captain's meeting. There is much to discuss." she said, and turned, leaving quickly.

to be continued...

sorry... i tried... I SWEAR!

I hope it was ok!

next time:

The captains have a meeting, once again, but when Unohana returns, the division is once again in chaos! Isane runs up, only to inform her that... Hitsugaya Toshiro has run away... Meanwhile... What is Aizen and Co. planning?

(dont worry, nothing will happen to Toshiro. It just helps lead to something else. *GREAT IDEA FROM FOREVER122! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

DONT FORGET TO REVIEW
