The new season of America's Next Top Model has officially started!! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I just want to clear up why Hitsugaya was acting so coldly because a few people mentioned it in their reviews. He's hurt because he feels that Hitomi, his daughter for all practical purposes, has betrayed Soul Society and him. The only way I could personally see Hitsugaya dealing with something like that is by shutting down and acting coldly towards the person who betrayed him. Trust me though, he's going to regret his last words to Hitomi very soon.

"Ah, look at the butterfly, Hitomi-chan." Ishida said, smiling at the small butterfly that flew into the cell.

Hitomi hopped off the small bunk bed and began chasing the butterfly around the cell. She giggled when she finally caught it and brought it over to Ishida. She opened her hand out so that the butterfly flew in Ishida's face.

"Aw, you two seem to be getting along pretty well." Ganju teased. "You like the younger ones, Uryuu."

Ishida glared. "Why don't you shut up, Ganju!"

"Oh, that's a great comeback."

Hitomi sat by Chad. She smiled at him. "They're both really immature."

Chad nodded. He looked around and held his hand up. "Does anyone hear that?"

The group fell silent, listening closely. Hitomi's face broke into a grin. "We're saved!"

Before the boys could ask what she was talking about, the ceiling above them broke. Ganju began to panic. "It's Kenpachi and the weird sissy guy!"

Hitomi giggled and waved her arms excitedly. "Hi Ikkaku-chan!" She blinked when a girl with orange hair appeared from behind Kenpachi. "Who are you?"

The girl smiled. "I'm Inoue Orihime. Who are you?"

"I'm Hitomi. Are you another friend of Kurosaki-san's?"

Inoue squealed and hugged Hitomi. "You know Kurosaki-kun!?"

Yachiru hopped down from Kenpachi's shoulder. "Hi Blue-chan!"

Hitomi smiled and managed to wriggle an arm loose from Orihime's grip, waving. "Hi Pink-chan!"

Kenpachi sighed. "It's time to go."

"I'll lead the way!" Yachiru volunteered.

Hitomi sighed. "This could take awhile."


Hitomi was perched on Chad's shoulder, rolling her eyes. "I told you we were going the wrong way."

Yachiru puffed her cheeks out at Hitomi. "Shut up, Blue-chan!"

Kenpachi sighed. "Why don't you all come out from hiding? It's very cowardly to stalk people."

"I'm very disappointed in you, Hitomi."

Hitomi winced. "Tousen-taicho…."

On top of one of the roofs stood Tousen, Shuuhei, Komamura, and Iba. Tousen glared down at Hitomi. "Hitsugaya raised you better than this. Why have you betrayed us?"

Hitomi frowned. "Because you're wrong! Rukia-neechan hasn't done anything wrong!"

Shuuhei frowned down at Hitomi. "It's not too late, Hitomi. You can still help us."

Chad adjusted Hitomi on his shoulders. He patted her head affectionately. "Don't listen to him."

Hitomi jumped down from Chad's shoulder and looked up sadly. "I'm sorry, Shuuhei. I have to help save Rukia."

Kenpachi laughed. "I'll take care of these four wimps. The rest of you get out of here."

Yachiru grabbed Hitomi's hand. "Blue-chan and I will lead the way! Let's go everyone!"

Hitomi grabbed Orihime's hand as she was dragged by Yachiru. She looked behind her to see that Ishida, Chad, and Ganju were following. She looked back up at Yachiru. "Ikkaku-chan and Yumichika-chan are staying behind."

Yachiru laughed. "They'll be okay."

I know this one is unbelievably short but next weeks chapter is going to be ridiculously long so please forgive this ones shortness. I must go now due to the fact the hamsters are screaming for cheese and lettuce.
