A/N: CHAPTER SEVEN IS UP! After the madness at chapter six, let's hope that this one would be a serious one XD well, I got nothing to say but let the characters do the disclaimer and to remind you all about the rating warning. Oh, and the 'your-opinion-reviews' thing.

Thank you to the two who had favorite and follow, guys, I couldn't have done it without you! (since I have been down that no one would want to continue reading this but that's okay, I still am going to continue this!)

Byakuya: am I still going to adopt Ed?

Why of course, my dear captain of the sixth division! Who wouldn't want to adopt that cute lovable kid?

Every Bleach characters (except for Bya, Toshiro cause he thinks that it's stupid to raise his hand and Isshin), the homunculi, Roy and his lackeys (except for Riza) and the casts: *raises their hands*

Byakuya: ….

Ed: I'm not that bad… *goes to Bya and hugs him, eyes turn into teary* they're being mean to me again, Bya… *sniffs*

Toushirou: *snorts*

Byakuya: Don't worry, they'll never be mean to you or hurt you again. That's a promise.

Renji: *flinches and ran away as far as he could* GUYS RUN!

Byakuya: Scatter, Senbonzakura.

Everyone (except for Toushirou and Ed, who calmly walked out of the place): *screams when cherry blossoms came dancing around them dangerously, waiting for them to make one wrong step*

*stares at the cherry blossoms around us and shakily gulps*

A-A-And o-on with th-the sh-show!

EDWARD'S P.O.V

I stared at the tilt of the sword with a raised eyebrow. After he told me all about Soul Society and telling me all about the Gotei 13 and a certain Substitute Shinigami named Kurosaki Ichigo (which I don't remember the captain and the vice-captain's names and abilities, only a "Hitsugaya" I could remember.), they were going to send me to Soul Society, right? Then why the hell would they put the end of the tilt of the sword in front of my face? I wouldn't know.

Me and Bya was at the Central Park, since no one was there and I hate it when people stare at me when I go, so i told Bya that we could do it here. He agreed, and told Alphonse to stay much to his displeasure. I comforted him, though, saying that we could see each other again soon when I become a shinigami. That made Alphonse smile, which made me smile and began to give our goodbye hug.

That's why we're here, Bya pointing the tilt at my forehead and me staring at it, waiting for him to get it on.

But when it glowed, my eyes widen in awe as I felt warmth around me, and I couldn't help but let the smile that threatened to get out of my lips out, and closed my eyes, making me concentrate on the warmth and only the warmth. When I felt something touched my forehead, I felt something strange; like I was pulled out of the ground and like I was flying. Wait, flying? When did I know the feeling of flying?

I ignored that thought, and just smile like I am contented with my life.

BYAKUYA'S P.O.V

The boy has finally gone up to Soul Society I thought as I looked at where the boy was standing minutes ago, and was the one who had given me hope of having a son. I smiled; my wife would love him if she was alive.

Why I adopted him, you ask? (A/N: don't break the fourth wall, Byakuya!) He reminds me of the kid I once was, and he may be tainted of guilt and sin in the world of the living, where his body was scarred and broken, he very much is still an innocent child in the soul. He is still young and beauty that no one possesses. Maybe except for Captain Hitsugaya, but he is… a soldier now. Edward is still not, even if he is the youngest state alchemist in the history of Amestris. He is like… a light of hope for me. I don't want anyone taking it away just yet.

His decision in staying in Rukongai for just a while is a good idea.

I smiled a bit more and walked off towards the Central HQ.

Soon… we'll see each other again soon… son.

Now that I remember something, his glow… it was red, blood red… I frowned, and while walking I began to think on what that meant and maybe ask Captain Kurotsuchi about it.

TOUSHIROU'S P.O.V

I sighed and rub my shoulder as I have seen another pile of paper that Matsumoto had hid, began to sort them and cursed when I found out it was due tomorrow. So I began to do it, and as fast as I could.

I hate it when Matsumoto does this to me, I feel like I'm too old for my look. (Which I am *sigh*)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IchiHitsu and RoyEd are mah OTP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't know when I was sitting on my chair and doing paperwork, or when I was suddenly dragged out of it by none other than Hyourinmaru and Kurosaki, Zangetsu and the hollow close behind and I blinked when I tried registering on what's happening.

"Kurosaki! What the hell!" I screamed at him, making him flinch and rub his ears since I screamed right at his ears. Good. He should feel pain.

"Arg, Toushirou! Why'd you do that for?! I think I'm going deaf because of you!"

"Good, then! Where are you taking me?"

"Like I would tell you!"

"You don't know, don't you?"

"… yes."

"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TAKE ME WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"

"OUCH! Toushirou—stop yelling at my ear—"

"YOU DESERVE IT, YOU—"

"GUYS! Stop your lover's spat and concentrate on that reiatsu that you're feeling!" The hollow told us and gave us the stinky eye, but I gave him a cold glare.

"We. Are. Not. Lovers." We both said at the same time, but he ignored us and said "Just follow us if you two are too busy yelling each other that you all couldn't even feel the faint reiatsu that was not here a while ago. I'm talking to you, Snowy." Hollow said, making me glare more.

"Will you stop calling me that?!"

"UGH, JUST FOLLOW THE DAMN REIATSU FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"It's outside Sereitei…" Ichigo said suddenly, making me look at him in a look of surprise and a bit of amazement. He had improved, I can give you that. But why couldn't I feel it then?

"She's always hiding her master's reiatsu…" Zangetsu said with a faint smile. "You can't feel it, can't you, Hitsugaya?"

I was a bit surprised that the zanpakutou had called me by my last name, but I nod all the same. There is this weird feeling in my stomach, and looked at Hyourinmaru with worried eyes.

"It's normal that we can't feel her reiatsu, master. She's not called 'master of hiding' for nothing."

"Actually, it's only us that call her that, other zanpakutous are scared of her."

"Except for Senbonzakura, though."

"Duh, he's her brother, why would she keep a secret to him? And why would he be scared of her if they're always goofing off when it's spring season? When I saw that, I couldn't look at her the same again."

"Wait, Senbonzakura has a sister?!" I heard Ichigo exclaimed, making me roll my eyes at his obvious shout.

"And Hyourinmaru's girlfriend—"that was the hollow who said that.

"She's not my girlfriend and you know that."

"—and it's because of her, him and Shinjitsu's master fought."

"I thought that we won't tell them our past yet?" came a snappy remark of Hyourinmaru, making the two shrug.

"Your master needs to know. If we are going to drag him around with us then he should know a bit of your past, it's not fair if he doesn't." Zangetsu replied, making me look at him with a small smile. I was actually glad to know something about Hyourinmaru other than a zanpakutou and a part of my soul now, and as a human being.

When we arrived to where they are taking me, I blinked in surprise when I see that we are in my... I wouldn't call it home… it's just Junrinan for me. My real home is at my granny's house which makes me more surprise when Hyourinmaru himself is dragging me to my home.

""Master, I remember this house. Is it your home?" he asked, and had a faint smile on his face. I smiled as well, as I remember the time Matsumoto had break into my house and the time I had dreamt of my zanpakutou.

"The reiatsu is in your house, Toushirou." Ichigo said and looked at me.

"It's Captain Hitsugaya to you. And… are you sure that it's in there? I know granny never really pick people up like that."

"Um… could you guys keep quiet, we might be caught."

"So? It's my home; I can enter my home whenever I want."

"You're acting like a child, Toushirou."

"Shut up, Kurosaki."

"Um… who are you guys and what are you doing in front of the door?" a unfamiliar voice said and we turned around (we didn't know we had our back turn at the door) seeing a short boy with long blond golden hair and shining golden eyes, like they're… made of gold, eyes that had seen the horrors of the world yet came out innocent and untainted. I can't help but stare at him. So he's the source of the reiatsu, then.

He was looking at us weirdly, and called out "Gran-gran! There's shinigamis here!"

"Who are you?" I asked, and he stares at me as if he's studying my every movement. When he was done, he turned to Hyourinmaru and began studying him as well.

"Name's Elric Edward. You must be a captain, seeing you have that white thing similar to Bya… what division are you running?" he asked without looking at me, and I was mildly surprised that he knew about the white haori that I'm wearing, heck even know only captains wear these things. And why does "Bya" sounds familiar…?

"I'm the captain of the 10th division." I answered his question, making him nod his head and proceed to study Kurosaki, who look so uncomfortable of the blond's gaze.

"Hitsugaya Toushirou, then. and you must be Kurosaki Ichigo, the Substitute Shinigami." He said, and turned to the zanpakutous with a weird look. "You two don't like shinigamis."

"Whoa, whoa! How'd you know about us, kid?" The strawberry asked, and I want to know the same thing.

"I'm not a kid, bastard! And I knew you guys because Bya told me all about you guys! If you're wondering how I didn't know what division you are running, I couldn't see your back. That's why."

"Bya? You mean, Kuchiki Byakuya right?" Zangetsu asked, and we were all surprised when he nods his head in affirmative.

"Yup, him. Why? Is he your friend?"

"More like fellow captain." I said and stared at him. He's interesting, I give you that.

"YOU CALLED HIM "BYA" FOR GOD SAKE, HOW ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE?!" Kurosaki yelled, and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Kurosaki might be an idiot, but he's not like Abarai.

"He told me himself to call him that, sheesh you all are weird." He said, and walked inside. "Aren't you guys coming inside? Since a certain grandson is visiting his grandma with his friends, it's rude of me to let you guys stay outside. Come in."

When the shock wore off (it was like 2 seconds shock I guess, I knew Captain Kuchiki has a soft side, like everyone do.) and went inside, the three following. I stared at the back of 'Elric' and frowned when I felt the reiatsu running wildly around him, why I and Hyourinmaru can't sense him was a mystery I want to solve.

Just like he had read my mind, Hyourinmaru went to me and whisper at my ears "We could only sense his reiatsu when we are near enough to see him or he lets us sense it. Since Zangetsu can sense hers because she wanted him to, she doesn't trust me completely."

"She?" I asked since I kept on hearing them prefer him as a 'she', but that's not what I think they meant. Maybe his zanpakutou? Hyourinmaru smiled and nods, answering me as if he had read my mind.

"Yes, master. His zanpakutou is a she, and her name is Suchirurozu."

OMAKE ATTACK!

Ed: I seriously doubt that you have the willpower to stop writing yaoi.

Shut up, Ed. I can and I will! Watch me!

Ed: *waves the original script at my face* you already did. And it says here that a certain orange-haired shinigami will fall for another man named—

SHUT YOUR TRAP EDWARD ELRIC!

Ichigo: *blinks a bit* Uh…?

IT'S NOTHING, ICHIGO, DON'T BELIEVE HIM PLEASE! ;A;

Ed: ICHIGO! GET YO ASS ON THE SET!

Toushirou: …

THANKS FOR READING!
