Hey guys sorry I haven't updated in a long time but my disease in the last year has gotten worse and I've been in hospital more and more but I managed to write the next chapter so here it is, although it is shorter then usual, sorry. Also the paragraph problem is hopefully fixed as I originally wrote it on my computer not the actual site anyway... Enjoy :)
For the next couple months, I trained my magic and making my magic container bigger, practicing my secret arts and enhancing my senses. I was planning on seeing Toshiro today but he along with his squad are guarding the Kings Seal which supposedly hold unimaginable power or so I believe, so instead I decide to continue training but when I return to the seireitei it was chaos, people were running around, I look around and soon spot Captain Kyoraku, so I run over to him and ask "What's going on Captain?"
He turns and stares at me with sad eyes and explains "Captain Histugiya has abandoned his post and we have been assigned to search for him" My eyes go wide and I take a step back and exclaim "No he wouldn't- Toshiro would never- He's not a traitor" The Captain goes to reach for me but I take another step back and say "I'm going to search for him and you can't stop me" I go to turn away but end up running into something or someone and fall down, I look up and meet Shuhei's gaze, he offers my hand and I take it then turn back to my Captain and say "I don't know when I'll return but when I do, Toshiro will be with me" Before anyone can say anything I flashstep to my room to pack before leaving on my search.
I've been searching for a couple days, I was hoping to find him by now but no luck and my supplies are low so I decide it's time to head back to the Soul Society, once I arrive I immediately make my way to my Captains office, I hesitate before I knock and I hear a small "Come in" I open the door with my head hung low and say "I've returned Captain but couldn't find any sign of Captain Hitsugiya, I also apologize for my behavior a couple days ago" I bow my head in apology and respect, I then hear him sigh and say "No need to apologize Lucy, I understand besides we've discovered his location and I wish for you to join Izuru and Shuhei in confronting him" I clench my jaw but nod my head in agreement and race back to my room to refresh myself before meeting with Shuhei and Izuru.
We've arrived at the location where Toshiro is and immediately Shuhei says in a commanding voice "Captain Histugiya, this is an executive order, you are to return to the soul society immediately" It's silent for a moment before the door opens and my hand shoots to my mouth at the wounds he has and he says through gritted teeth "I have no intention of doing that" and draws his sword and my eyes widen in sadness and horror that he's doing this, but his eyes meet mine and deep down I see a sadness that I'm familiar with in my own eyes and soon break contact with him, as I do he immediately races towards us with his sword drawn and swings at Shuhei but he manages to block and Izuru says "Don't do this, you'll be accused of treason" But Toshiro gives him a hard stare and says "Stay out of this" He looks at Shuhei and I and says "You too" I stay silent but Shuhei replies "Sorry but I've been given orders to take you into custody" I watch as he narrows his eyes and I immediately draw my sword as he says "Then you'll die" I along with the others can't help but let out horrified gasps and he swings with enough force to send up flying back but we all land fine, Toshiro then makes a run towards Izuru and swings his sword but I'm faster and manage to block and say with plead "Please stop this, tell me what's going on, I don't want to hurt you" He loos at me with sad eyes but before he can respond I hear Shuhei casting a Kido, I then watch as Toshiro tries his best to dodge but a long light beam manages to impale his shoulder and he falls to the ground before managing to pull it out.
I watch as blood pours from the wound and I can't help but worry, Izuru steps forward and says "Please don't resist any further" Toshiro turns back to us and I feel his reitsu spike and before I could do anything he activates his bankai and takes everyone out including me but I remain conscious but lay on the ground covered in injuries as I look to Toshiro with betrayal written on my face and I ask with a weak voice "Why?" He looks at me and replies with a low voice "I have to do this alone" With that he leaves and I soon fall into the darkness.
