Chapter 8

Toshiro and Kusaka

"Are you The Hitsugaya Toshiro, The young genius everyone's been talking about?"ßreview

"Who're you?" he smiled and reached out to shake my hand, "kusaka soujirou" ….I took it.

~_~ 1 week later

"hey toshiro" "yo kusaka" "say, I never see you with anybody besides me, what about

your roommate?" "Don't have one" "really?, good mines annoying you think I could

move in with you?" I thought for a second, it had been rather lonely without kiba

around…why not? "sure"

~_~ 3 months later

I think I can fairly say,kusaka has managed to keep my mind well off of kiba, but I

occasionally find myself still thinking of momo. We've been pretty much equal at

everything, although im slightly better. Today we went training at our usual hid away spot

under a cliff, it's a small cave surrounded by so much brush people hardly ever notice it,

its nice place to just relax and train. "hey toshiro put down your stuff and lets spar, I think

I'm close to getting my zanpuktou." I put down my books and picked up my wooden

sword "really? Me to just a couple of months ago I nearly discovered it!" while I said this

a smile tugged at my lips, just thinking of kiba and how he was so quick to blame himself

made me want to smile, he's really just a selfless nice guy deep down. "wow, you really

are a genius, but I wont let you beat me this time" and so we charged, after about 10

minutes of sparring my hands started to feel very cold, then so did my whole body, wait a

second! I recognize this feeling! And just as I thought I was beginning to enter my inner

world once more, I don't even know if I blocked that last strike by kusaka. "TOSHIRO!"

I heard the dragon screaming as loud as I think he could "MY NAME IS!"

"HYOURINMARU" I heard my self yelling the last part, I felt its power swelling in my

hand, I reached up and the sword solidified, there it was, my zanpuktou. I regained

consciousness and realized I was on the floor, I also realized I no longer felt even the

slightest chill, hyourinmaru must keep me warm now, I stood up and looked around

"toushiro?" I looked behind me to see kusaka standing up, he was holding a eerily

familiar zanpuktou in his hand… "kuasaka…why?" when suddenly the room changed

and we were surround by a projection of central 46... " the decision of the central 46

chamber is done." I turned to look at the man speaking, "it is not permitted for one

zanpuktou to be wielded by two shinigami, therefore it has been decided that you two will

face each other in a sword fight, the winner keeping the sword." what was happening

quickly ran through my mind "you mean we have to fight to the death?" then someone

else spoke up, "proper personality" next was the woman next to him "appropriate ability"

then another man across the room "hyourinmaru is such a power, you should feel

honored" I instantly knew what I would choose, without hesitation "Then forget it!, if I

have to fight against kusaka ill abandon hyourinmaru!" kusaka looked shocked and turned

"Tos" he was cut off by central 46 "denied" "rejected" "impossible" the words were

coming from everywhere, I started to panic, if my mind was so praised why couldn't I

think? "Why aren't we allowed to have the same zanpuktou?" "because that's the law"

" a law in place since ancient times" you cannot go against it" "send one to exile" "you

cannot doubt" "we will not permit it" the room started to spin, they were all suddenly

yelling one thing "fight!" over and over they said it, then they faded out and kusaka

charged "hyourinmaru is mine!" before he attacked my instincts acted of their own accord

and I blocked it, when the twin zanpuktou clashed chunks of ice were sent everywhere.

Then when the mist cleared I saw kusaka, frozen. He broke out of the ice and in a strained

voice "hitsugaya…" that in itself hurt, he felt so pained by my betrayal he would no

longer call me by my first name…" I could only manage a whisper.. "kusaka.." that's

when the stealth force appeared suddenly. They drew their swords.. "hey!" I yelled it, as if

that would do anything. "who are you guys? What are..?" the man answered him "its been

decided that hits Gaya toshiro will be the wielder of hyourinmaru." kusaka panicked "the

fights not over yet! Hyourinmaru is mine!" "this is the decision of central 46." they then

drew their swords and attacked him, he was helpless against so many, they had to hold me

back from the fight. "Kusaka!" "why do I have to die? Why?" he was slashed once more

from his chin to his eye. There was nothing I could do. "I.. fought for soul society…" then

as hyourinmaru faded from his hand, he collapsed. Even though I knew it was pointless

part of me still wished to believe, so I yelled for the last time "kusaka!"
