Hello! I hope I didn't make you guys wait too long. I have a lot of projects, and I've got a concert and a performance coming up! ): And I'm also having a writer's block… Haiz, anyway please enjoy! ^^

The man looked at Hitsugaya straight in his eyes. "I am Ichigo."

"What?" Hitsugaya said, taken aback. Ichigo? The traitor twelve years ago that killed many people in soul society? What is he doing in here? He thought, horrified.

Hitsugaya wield his sword hard as Ichigo settled down in his room and looked around with a contempt look on his serious face. Should I inform the authorities about this man? After all they had been searching for him to no avail in all these years…

As if he had the ability to read mind, Ichigo said. "You'd better not tell anyone about my visit to you." This pisses Hitsugaya off, a lot.

"Why did you come here for?" Hitsugaya said with an air of hostility. "Did you come to kill more people?" He added that sentence with a wry humour.

"Not really." There was a tinge of sadness in Ichigo's voice. He turned around and changed his tone. "Actually, I've come to warn you."

"Warn me?" Hitsugaya said cautiously, not removing his eyes on the moving Ichigo.

"Yeah." Ichigo said, sitting comfortably on Hitsugaya's bed. "First, put your zanpankutou down and sit down too."

"What?" Hitsugaya stared, flabbergasted at this man's attitude.

"I said, come and sit down. I don't like talking to a guy who's taking a sword, ready to kill." Ichigo stated, more firmly this time. Hitsugaya reluctantly put his zanpankutou down and sit down next to Ichigo, never leaving his eyes off him.

Ichigo looked at Hitsugaya. "What's the tension, kiddo?" He sighed. "Never mind. After all, I'm the big traitor that everyone hates, right?" There was an angry but helpless tone when he said it which made Hitsugaya look at him curiously.

"Beware." Ichigo said. "Of a certain person."

The two guys stared at the moon through the window, both with serious face on, one with a serious and curious expression.

"There's a person that have a grudge against humans. He wanted to get rid of me. I don't know who is he, but I know he used to be there, stalking me. He somehow knew who insulted me or who pissed me off. He even copied my zanpankutou specialty. So when I became a captain, he killed all the people who insulted me one by one, copying my zanpankutou specialty, making everyone think that it's me who killed them."

"What are you trying to say?" Hitsugaya said ferociously.

"I'm just telling you my side of the story." Ichigo said simply.

There was a moment of silence before Hitsugaya stood up and blurted out angrily. "So you're trying to convince me you did not kill all these people? How do you expect me to believe you? We have a squad just for investigation, a whole of fifth squad, so they should be able to investigate very thoroughly. There should not be any mistakes. Anyway, no one should be able to copy anybody's zanpankutou specialty. Narumi-sensei said that zanpankutou is like one's soul, no one is able to duplicate it."

Ichigo stared. "Wow, you really memorise everything, do you?"

Hitsugaya clenched his fists. "You killed so many people, and now you're trying to push the blame to someone else, furthermore, someone you do not even know of! This is the most outrageous thing I'd ever heard." Hitsugaya was about to grab his zanpankutou to strike at this evil man.

Ichigo seemed ironically calm, which irritated Hitsugaya further.

"He tried to kill her."

"What?" Hitsugaya said.

"She rejected me, and it seriously tore my heart into pieces. Somehow this horrible stalker knew, and tried to kill her." Ichigo said softly, almost to a whisper. "She was walking home alone that time, and that person attacked her. Thank goodness I was nearby. I protected her and managed to keep her alive. I brought her out to the real world and hid her there."

Ichigo looked at Hitsugaya with a determined and serious look. "For all these years I've been hiding and trying to find out who that person is. Then I found out that there is another human accepted into the school. So I've come to warn you, in case that person has a grudge on humans."

Hitsugaya still had a doubtful look. "In case?"

"Yes, because I do not know who this person is. I do not know what his motive is, so I'm not sure who is he trying to target. It may be just me, but I'm just warning you just in case."

"Why should I believe you?" Hitsugaya said cautiously.

Ichigo walked towards the window. "You'll find out soon enough." He disappeared from view using flash step.

"I sense Ichigo's reiatsu." A man on a chair exclaimed.

"Could be ya imagination." Another man standing behind said.

The first man mused. "He went to Hitsugaya's room. Why is that so?" He asked the question even though he knew the answer very well.

The second man said nothing, as he watched the first man smirk.

"So Hitsugaya is that man's son, huh?" The first man tapped his hand on the table. "Should we do the same to him?"

"He tried to kill her." Hitsugaya thought back what Ichigo had said. He was surprised at himself for not informing the authorities about that traitor. But somehow, the words Ichigo said kept recurring in his mind, giving him nightmares. "She rejected me… Somehow this horrible stalker knew, and tried to kill her."

He shook his head. "Don't think about it!"

"Hey!" He banged onto a person. It was a newspaper boy from the fourth squad.

"Sorry." He muttered.

"Do you know?" The newspaper boy did not look one bit angry, instead very eager to share this piece of information. "Fifth squad 11th seat, Natsume Hyuuga, was found dead in his office yesterday late night!"

The newspaper boy was about to run off to tell more people about it, but was grabbed by Hitsugaya by the collar.

"Wha-" He choked, gasping for air. (Hitsugaya was grabbing at his collar.)

"When exactly was it?" Hitsugaya demanded.

"It's…it's on…" The newspaper boy took out the newspaper nervously. "On approximately 11.25pm…"

"11.25pm…" Hitsugaya stretched his memory and remembered that Ichigo left his room at around 11pm. There was something fishy about it…

"Um… could you release me now?" Hitsugaya was still grabbing onto the newspaper boy.

"Sorry." Hitsugaya released the guy immediately. "He somehow knew who insulted me or who pissed me off." Could it be that there really was a stalker that knew who insulted me?

"No, I should not believe in that traitor…" He murmured, dazed."Maybe it's just coincidence. Maybe that Natsume had too many haters that he was killed."

"He tried to kill her."

The impact of the words hit him as hard as cold water splashed from a 100m height. "There's nothing wrong in just checking." He said finally as he rushed out of the streets to the direction of Rukia's reiatsu.

He ran, at normal speed at first, getting quicker at every second as Ichigo's words rang in his mind over and over. "He tried to kill her." "She rejected me… Somehow this horrible stalker knew, and tried to kill her."

He followed her reiatsu and ran into the back streets in Seireitei, which were very secluded. He felt Rukia's reiatsu getting closer and closer. "It should be okay, there's no one else with her." He thought when Ichigo's words rang in his head again. "She was walking home alone that time…"

He cursed as he increased his pace. He saw a figure that looked like Rukia walking towards him.

"Hitsugaya?" Rukia said, surprised.

A second reiatsu appeared right behind Rukia.

"What are you-" Before Rukia was able to finish her sentence, Hitsugaya grabbed her by the waist and jumped away, merely dodging an attack.

"Wha-?" Rukia stammered, mouth agape, at the dent on the floor, which was her original position.

Hitsugaya landed far away from the attacker. He could not believe how fast the person arrived right behind Rukia, without Hitsugaya sensing him coming. "Stay here, Rukia." He ordered, withdrawing his zanpankutou.

Hitsugaya felt around for the person's reiatsu, which seemed to have disappeared. "Come out, whoever's there!"

The reiatsu came back again. It was coming from the sky. Hitsugaya clenched his sword hardly, as he jumped up to retrieve the attack.

The attacker had his face covered with a mask, so Hitsugaya could not tell who he was. His zanpankutou clashed with Hitsugaya, almost hitting Hitsugaya off balanced with his vast amount of reiatsu.

They sparred for a few times on air before landing on the ground.

They continued their sparring on the ground, which Hitsugaya was obviously on the disadvantage, with his body so small. "I'll blast him off with ice then." He thought as he stepped back.

"Set upon the frozen heavens, Hyourinmaru!" An ice dragon form from his zanpankutou and his reiatsu rushed to crush the opponent.

The masked person blocked the attack as easily as blocking a normal attack.

Hitsugaya cursed. "He's good." He thought. "He has a great amount of reiatsu, almost comparable to a captain."

The masked person charged forward. Hitsugaya bent down, ready to take the attack, when he noticed that he was not aiming for him, he was aiming for Rukia.

"Rukia!" He shouted, running to her direction using flash steps. He caught the attack just in time, saving Rukia's life.

"I can deal with him!" Rukia said as she drew out her sword.

Hitsugaya dug his foot on the ground to enhance his ability to take this great impact. "No, Rukia, stay back!" He said as he swung his sword to throw the mask person off guard.

"Hitsugaya…" Rukia stared worriedly at him.

Hitsugaya panted, glaring at the mask person. He knew he could never defeat him, he was to powerful. A few drops of blood trickled down his hands. He flashbacked and remembered that that person had slashed on him right before Hitsugaya threw him off guard. (Read two paragraphs before.)

Rukia could not take it anymore. Hitsugaya was not going to get hurt because of her. She jumped out and swung her sword at the person.

Before Hitsugaya could react, a loud thud was heard on the wall behind him. Rukia crashed onto the wall, her zanpankutou slipped out of her hands as she fell onto the ground, unconscious.

Hitsugaya saw the blood on Rukia's head, and he flared up instantly. "You bastard…" He said, all his reiatsu bursting out to the fullest. "You'll going to pay for this!"

He could feel his anger causing all his reiryoku forming around his zanpankutou. He could feel his zanpankutou also shaking lividly. He could feel the same feeling, the feeling he felt when Rukia was in danger then (chapter 1).

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyourinmaru!"
