"So you betrayed the Soul Society?"
"For reasons no one can understand."
"Hey, don't turn away from me!"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Bastard…it won't work for you like that!"
It was dark. It was night. Toshiro Hitsugaya silently waited for a group of Soul Reapers from the Soul Society to come. He was getting annoyed with the waiting; he was never one for patience. He felt like a caged animal within this place.
Glancing around, he noted the small details of the shrine. It was simple and plain; nothing fancy. Growling, he had a feeling the time was coming he would have to face his past…something he couldn't bear.
Over the years, he had practiced what he would say to Aisu or Kusaka if he ever saw them again. Kusaka, he knew, was dead. They would never meet again…or so he thought. Yet what was this nagging feeling in the back of his mind? Kusaka was alive…he just knew it! With determination clear on his face, he stood; ready to take on the entire Soul Society!
Though, he suddenly heard a voice…Aisu's voice. It sounded clear on the wind; "Toshiro, be strong. We were friends, weren't we?"
He spun around; trying to identify the sound, yet all he heard was the howling wind that seemed to engulf him…
Hearing or what he thought he heard as Aisu freaked Toshiro out. He started pacing waiting for his impending doom, as always it was late and he was not a patient person. He then paused in mid step feeling the soul reapers energy coming closer. He chuckled softly with dry humor. They thought a bunch of soul reapers could kill him. The thought was laughable. He figured that either they were to capture him or kill him since he sure as hell wasn't going willingly.
Toshiro slipped down besides the door and waited. It wasn't long before the clearing outside was full of Soul Reapers. Most of them weren't even seated officers; only two were Lieutenants.
"Izuru and Hisagi," Toshiro breathed with narrowed eyes. He wasn't in the mood to deal with these clowns.
He took in their idle appearance and scoffed. What, did they think he was just going surrender? I think not!
"Captain Hitsugaya, please come out and give yourself up!" Izuru finally shouted. All was silent as they held their breaths; waiting for his answer.
"No," came his defiant-as-ever voice.
"We have no choice; either take you in without struggle, or kill you." Hisagi shouted over the breeze that was beginning to pick up.
With a swift movement, Hitsugaya was outside. He raised his sword and pointed it at them. "Try me," he growled.
"Captain Hitsugaya…!" Izuru began to protest before Hisagi cut him off.
"Very well," his voice was cold and metallic.
With a silent Flash Step, Toshiro disappeared and clanged his sword against Hisagi's which he was just beginning to pull out. Izuru's slammed down on top of Hyourinmaru and he growled at them.
"Please, Captain Hitsugaya…you can come now…tell us where the Ouin is…and you might just get off." Hisagi said with narrowed eyes.
"Back off, or I'll kill you. This is my fight!" Toshiro roared.
Both Lieutenants' eyes went wide. With rising Spiritual Pressure, Toshiro froze their swords. Hisagi jumped back on the pillar and preformed a short chant for a Bakudo. Staffs that glowed bluish silver in the moonlight were suddenly launched at Toshiro's form.
Hitsugaya Flash Stepped easily to avoid them, but suddenly the pain of his wound hit him and he blanched. A pole immediately hit him in the back and ran him through. He gasped in pain as he then began lodged in a wood step up to the shrine.
The Soul Reapers paused for a moment and watched him and he struggled to get the pole out. He finally managed to pull it out from the step and his body. Blood splattered on the dirt ground and Hitsugaya stood in rage. He had warned them, but now he was too angry and enraged to think.
"Bankai!" He roared and Daiguren Hyourinmaru appeared around him. With a violent blast of ice that took every Soul Reaper by surprise. Several of them froze, some were run through with ice, and it wasn't long before they were all unconscious. Hitsugaya refused to kill them, and hoped they survived their wounds later.
With a quick glance backwards, he leapt away into the thick forest. Behind laid a clearing with mist swirling around in the pale dawn light, and ice that lay thick on the ground…
A cloaked figure stood in a dark tunnel, waiting for Toshiro Hitsugaya. He thought back to his fight the day before with the Substitute Soul Reaper and growled lightly. He had been only a pain in his day and had actually set things back by a touch. But now that the Soul Reaper was out of his way (thanks to Hyourinmaru), he felt confident everything would go according to his plan.
Above him, he heard a door open and close. Pants of breath escaped the person who was clearly in pain. Stretching his senses out, the cloaked figure realized it was exactly who he had been waiting for.
"Ah, Toshiro…" He breathed lightly with a smirk hidden behind his mask.
Outside, standing in the dawn's light, a girl stood. Her eyes glanced around. Besides her stood a wolf that had frozen the pillar on contact. Yet the wolf couldn't help it since her paws were made of ice and water. Her fur then raced up into a green which represented earth. Her back fur was red for fire, and her tail was yellow for lightning.
With a small howl, the wind whipped around them, much to the wolf's delight. "I love howling and using the wind element!" Okami barked up to her master. Frankly her master looked annoyed.
"Please, save your strength for the Soul Reapers; not on trivial things like stirring up the wind."
Okami growled but dissipated back into Zanpakuto form in her sheath. Okami remained silent in her master's head and the girl found it unnerving. "I told you not to waste strength; that doesn't mean you have to shut up." Yet all she heard was a wolfish laugh.
The girl rolled her eyes and began to concentrate. Soon, a large gate appeared before her. She smirked inwardly and leapt in…time to go to the Soul Society and crash reality.
Toshiro slowly made his way down the long, spiraling stair case. He could feel a familiar Spirit at the bottom and he knew that is was Kusaka. He'd know it anywhere. And somehow, he felt like reality had been warped now, due to this once dead friend that was mysteriously alive. How would they handle seeing each other again?
Finally, he was at the bottom. Glancing around the dark tunnel, it looked larger than it did from the top of the stairs. Now it seemed as if death had opened its wide maw for him to walk right into.
Taking a few steps forward, Toshiro saw a dark silhouette standing in a circular opening. At first, he couldn't tell who it was, before he recognized the shape. Toshiro could pick out only the cloak and mask at first, but soon, a damp light filled the air.
"Hello, Toshiro." The voice of his once-dead friend said slyly.
Toshiro growled. "Where is the Ouin?"
"Ah, getting straight to the point, as always." Kusaka said, before removing his mask.
Toshiro grunted and looked like his calm mask had been broken.
"Surprised?" Kusaka asked in a taunting voice. In other words, he was saying, "Shocked you didn't kill me the first time?"
Toshiro glared back fiercely. "I knew it was you. But tell me, how did you come back?" Kusaka didn't hear the sadness filling Toshiro's voice.
"The power of the Ouin…it revived me in Hueco Mundo. I then trained to get stronger, and allied myself with two Arrancar Hollows. I waited until the Ouin was moved again before I snatched it. Impressed with how detailed I planned this out?"
Toshiro snorted. "Why should I believe your lies?" He knew it was true though…all of it.
Kusaka smirked. "Alright, then I'll show you. Behold the power of the Ouin!" He raised his balled fist into the air and the air around them shined a golden color. Soon, the air around them seemed to twist, and then all was dark and silent…
With a blinding flash of gold Spiritual Pressure, Toshiro Hitsugaya and Kusaka Sojiro appeared atop Sokyoku Hill in the Soul Society. Toshiro looked around startled and amazed. Kusaka merely smiled.
"How did you…?" Toshiro began to ask before Kusaka held up a hand to stop him.
"The Ouin can manipulate time and space. In other words, I get anywhere easily and I can go to points in time before my body is injured."
Toshiro thought his eyes were going to pop out of his skull. "So that's the power of the Ouin…" He whispered in awe.
Suddenly, Renji, Ikkaku, and Yumichika appeared. "Looks like we got here first," Renji commented with a cold look on his face.
Toshiro glared and was about to make a snide remark to the red head when suddenly, several Soul Reapers appear.
Captains, Lieutenants, Seated Officers, Officers…Toshiro was sure their numbers now reached into the hundreds, by the sheer size of the crowd. Fear began to fill his throat and he took a step back. He felt totally unprepared and daunted by this task. How were they supposed to fight them off?
Glancing back at Kusaka, he realized he was smirking confidently. It looked as if he had already won. Despite the situation, Toshiro found himself nearly smiling. Kusaka had always been like this, and it seemed as if that hadn't changed.
He was wrong.
The Captain of the First Division stepped up and opened his eyes a crack to glare coldly at Hitsugaya and Kusaka behind him. "Why have you come? Where is the Ouin?"
Toshiro opened his mouth to speak when suddenly a voice rang clear out across the Hill. "Kusaka Sojiro…Toshiro Hitsugaya…it's been a long time."
Everyone began to look around, trying to identify the source of the voice. With a quick glance back, Toshiro realized even Kusaka looked confused and more startled.
That was when he looked up.
Standing on top of the Repentance Cell, a feminine figure stood, dark against the parts in the clouds. A wolf stood besides her, blazing different colors. Why did they look so familiar?
Behind him, Kusaka gave a strange choking sound. As the figure leapt down with the wolf at her side, that was when it hit him; it was Aisu Iru…
With grace and accuracy Toshiro had never seen her perform, Aisu landed neatly in front of them. She seemed like the only one separating them from the Soul Reapers.
"Aisu?" Kusaka asked first. He sounded so wispy, it was pathetic.
Yet this was not the Aisu they used to know and love. Her eyes were cold and dark; calculating everything in a single glance. Her grace was unnatural for the former-klutz, and power seemed to come off her in waves.
"Yes, it's me, Aisu." She said with a bored look.
"What happened to you?" Toshiro then asked, trying to get over his initial shock.
"What happened? I merely became a stronger, smarter, colder, person." She purred with a glint in her eyes.
This was not Aisu. The Aisu they knew was kind, warm, and always happy. She only turned to them when she was deeply troubled, and she always seemed to hold a fierce attitude about her. Now she was cold and dead to the world.
"How can you be the one we loved and cared about when you don't even act like you know us?!" Toshiro said in total rage.
Aisu merely shook her head, closed her eyes, smirked and looked at the ground. "People change," she stated as her head came back up, "and when they do…not all agree with that change. The Aisu you knew died the day I learned the sixth stone…the stone of death." Her eyes glinted sharply. "If I haven't killed my opponent by the time I've used the other elements, then it guarantees they will die with the final strike."
Toshiro didn't notice how shocked the Soul Reapers behind her looked. All he noticed was her. Kusaka was staring, too. It was like they were re-familiarizing themselves with her features. The way her brown hair swayed in the wind, the way she always seemed to stand, the set of her face…ever detail was taken in. Nothing was overlooked. Especially the way she looked so graceful, dangerous, and murderous.
"Aisu…" Kusaka whispered, finally stepping a foot forward.
Toshiro glanced back but switched his eyes back to Aisu. How could they trust her any more? She may look a lot like they used to know, but he could tell with the way she smirked that she was a cold killer. This was not Aisu. Did he really have to fight both friends?
Suddenly it seemed like it also clicked in Kusaka. He growled and pulled out Hyourinmaru. "Toshiro…cut the Ouin with your Bankai!" He barked.
Aisu narrowed her eyes as Toshiro turned in shock towards Kusaka. His teal eyes went wide. Everything happened quickly.
Okami leapt without a single word from her master's side. Aisu yelled at her to get back, but her maw merely opened wide as she leapt at Kusaka. Kusaka smirked lightly and in a flash, blood was splattered. It was the blood of Okami.
Her muzzle let out a pained howl and Kusaka smiled cruelly down at her from a few feet back. "You shouldn't have done that." He said coldly.
Aisu rushed over in panic to Okami. "Bastard!" She roared as she protected Okami with her own body. Okami growled slightly.
"We're two different entities…do not worry about me." Okami breathed weakly.
"You're out," Aisu snapped back and immediately Okami was sent back into Zanpakuto form. Aisu stood and turned her blazing eyes to Kusaka. Pulling out her sword, she pointed it directly at him.
"Shall we dance?" She mocked.
Kusaka smirked. "One more before you die?"
"What happened to both of you!" Toshiro suddenly yelled. Both turned their eyes in his direction. "We used to be such good friends! Now you both want to kill each other! Didn't you used to love each other?!"
Aisu grimaced. "The day Kusaka died, I left. I wanted to come back someday and prove to the whole of Soul Society that we will not be used like pawns. My power is my own, and I will not let it be used by the people who tore my friends and my life away from me."
Yet her eyes gradually softened and seemed to cloud with tears. "I still love you both, believe it or not."
Both boys stared at her in shock. So even though she acted so cold, it was her heart. Aisu loved them both, and again, couldn't choose. She chose to fight now because it was her duty. It was her duty to make sure that either they all live…or die together. She didn't want to be separated from them again.
Aisu dragged in a deep, shaky breath and pulled her sword up again. "Let's finish this…"
