Toshiro POV:
Once I got back, Rangiku and the others sighed in relief and question my actions which I brushed aside. Captain Kuchiki appeared to inform us the new situation at hand and the task given to us by the Head Captain.
"We were also informed that the source of spiritual pressure has left the town for now. The Soul Society cannot determine whether it is an ally or enemy. If you encounter this person take them in, but if they use force against you then fight back," informed Captain Kuchiki as the others nodded in understanding. I heard the conversation, but couldn't get the image of Lucy being taking away in that car out of my head. I recall my memories again until I remember seeing a striped dark green and white bucket hat driving the vehicle.
"I wonder what happened to Blondie," worried Ichigo as Chad, Orihime, Uryu, and Rukia looked concerned.
"Who's Blondie?" asked Renji as Rukia looked up to answer him.
"She's a student who has been attending Karakura High ever since Ichigo and I had return. She never socializes with anyone and kept to herself. She never gave us a name just a letter of her first name," answered Rukia as my eyes began to narrow.
"Really? So how come you guys know so much of her?" Ikkau sighed in boredom and looked outside at the sky.
"I don't know there was something about her, and I just approach her. She told me her name started with an L," Ichigo scratched his head in frustration as I froze. It was her…she's been here this whole time and I just didn't know it. I could feel a headache begin to form and clutch it which alerted Orihime.
"Ah…Captain Hitsugaya are you alright?" she asked as she reaches out for me which I smacked her hand away.
"Captain, you're not looking so good. You need to rest since you just ran out in the rain," concerned Rangiku as I could feel my head pounding. I felt a hand touch my forehead and pushed it away. I was about to run out when Ichigo stopped me.
"Hey Toshiro, where the hell do you think you are going?" he eyed me intensely as I waved him off. This frustrated him, so he grabbed me by my collar and glared at me.
"You need to rest and stop worrying others. I don't know what has been up with you lately, but everyone is worried sick. Now head on to the nurse's office with Orihime and Momo," Ichigo ordered as he released me. Momo grabbed my hand and lead me away from the others with Orihime following after us. I glanced back to see the others express concern and worried gazes my way and I let out a frustrated sigh.
"Lil'Shiro it's going to be okay. You're just really tired and after you rest we will go get you so candied beans," assured Momo while patting my hand lightly.
"Here you go Captain Hitsugaya, I'm sure you'll feel well rest after a good sleep," smiled Orihime as I felt myself go dead for a moment not evening noticing them leaving the room. If I didn't stop running, then was it possible that I would have caught up and actually see her. I stood there silent for a few moments until I look up to see Karin staring at me. I blinked and rubbed my eyes, thinking this was just an illusion. Here was Karin sitting on the bed next to me with her hair down and wearing the Karakura High's girl uniform. Karin stared at me in confusion and spoke up.
"Uh Toshiro are you okay?" she asked as I slapped my cheeks to wake me up from this dream.
"Are you real? The Karin I know is stronger, aggressive, and tomboyish," I simply stated as her face turned red and she got up. I watched her and then she hit me on the head which I clutched to stop the pain.
"Jerk, is that how you see me? Man…why should I care what you think of me anyways," snapped Karin as her eyes shone with something that looked like sadness.
"No I just thought that I was dreaming all right. I'm sorry if my words hurt you there for a bit. I…I just don't feel alright today," I answered in a sadden tone as Karin looked up surprised.
"If you don't mind me asking, what's with you lately? Normally you are all grumpy, moody, and serious, but since you got back here you look sad, lost, and heartbroken," Karin played with the end of her skirt while speaking honestly from her heart.
"I…She…I'm sorry Karin, but I'm not ready to talk about it yet. When I do then you will be the first to know," I smiled gently at her as her cheeks turned red for some odd reason.
"Alright then it's a promise. Don't you dare go back on it," she glared at me as I chuckled which she softly smiled at me.
"Okay as long as you stop calling me Toshiro," I folded my arms to which she giggled to what I thought was cute. Wait cute? I must be coming down from something after all.
"No way…Toshiro who's she?" I heard Karin asked and saw her hand clench on to her skirt. I felt myself darken a little and decided to let her know later.
"No one you need to know about yet," I scratched my head and could feel a headache come down on me again. Karin frowned at my lack of response and turned her head stubbornly with tinted red cheeks. Is she sick or is it hot in here? I can't really tell when it's hot due to my abilities with ice.
"I-if it's a girl in Karakura High, then there's no way she'll be able to handle you," she pouted in anger as I could feel my mind fog up a bit.
"Who said anything about it being someone from Karakura High…oh you can't be jealous Karin," I smirked which was probably due to my lack of consciousness.
"What? Don't be stupid, you know what I'm leaving. See you idiot Toshiro," she got up and head straight for the door. Then she shut it hard to which woke me from my dimmed conscious self.
"Was it something I said?" I thought as I guessed my illness seem to be taking a toll on me. I looked out the rain and turn my thoughts onto Lucy. It's possible but Urahara might have something to do with this. I got up in my weaken state and check outside the nurse's office for anyone guarding it. After checking to see the close was clear, I head for the entrance of the school. Little did I know that a dark figure was watching me from the hallway. I followed the path to Urahara's Shop but stopped in my tracks. The others would have been out of school already, but if I don't continue then I won't be able to catch her. Looking back in the direction of Karakura High, I hid my spiritual pressure and sense the alert and panic from my friends. I turned and head for my destination, feeling the pain increase as I got near. I stand in front of Urahara Shop and bang on the door until I got impatient and opened the door. My vision started to get blurry and the last thing I saw before falling unconscious was a blonde haired girl looking at me in surprise. She said something which I thought was my name and I smiled a tired smile.
"Lucy," I said and knocked out on the floor. Something cold was pressed onto my forehead and I lean into something soft and comforting. When I slowly opened my eye lids, I tilted my head to the side to see the training grounds underneath Urahara's Shop except the clouds are moving. I tried getting up only to be pushed back down by someone.
"Geez…Toshiro you need to take it easy. You have a high fever and need to rest," scolded a familiar voice as I focused my vision on the source of that voice. My vision focused and I saw the concerned look of Lucy who was watching me carefully while changing the wet cloth on my forehead.
"Where are we and what happened?" I asked in confusion as Lucy gave me a side smile.
"Well I was about to leave with Yoruichi to go training when you stormed in looking sick until you collapsed on the ground with a high fever. I didn't want to leave you so I asked if I could bring you along with us," explained Lucy as she placed her hand on my cheek. I lean into her hand feeling the sense of safety in her palm. I felt something touching my hair and noticed she was stroking me like the time before. I closed my eyes and could feel the tension in me release. I was content with having my beloved sister with me and fell into a restful slumber.
Lucy POV:
Man…he sure knows how to worry me, but at least his fever is going down now. Watching his face look calm and bliss brought a smile to my lips as I continued to stroke his hair. Maybe I should have confronted him earlier that way he would have never overwork his body and faint from a high fever. I can't believe I cost him so much pain and looking at him brings a sharp pain in my heart at the sight. Sorry Toshiro, it would have probably been better if we never got to know each other, then you would not have to worry about my whereabouts or my safety while dealing with the Aizen situation. I was about to get up when I felt him gripping onto my skirt and smiled.
"What a little cutie," I giggled as he murmured something like "not a little cutie." I continue stroking him until I heard light footsteps coming from the right only to see Yoruichi in her cat form.
"Hello Yoruichi," I greeted with a warm smile as she looked at the position I was in with Toshiro.
"Hi there, if I didn't know any better, it looks like you have explaining to do about Captain Hitsugaya," she smirked as Toshiro huddled closer to me.
"Well I first appeared in the Soul Society I met this nice old woman named Hikari or Granny for short who was really kind to me. She let me stayed in her home and I helped around the house. One day I came back from shopping for groceries which the store was really rude to this boy who looked around sixteen and isolated him from the others. Then I met Toshiro who was the same boy that was being glared at the store I came from and Granny's grandson. We started off bad, but gradually became closer as siblings. When I disappeared from them, I probably made them sad and worried," I summarized my tale as a lone tear fell from my cheeks.
"It seems the two of you are really close. Judging on how he's acting like a little child in his sleep, but it's strange for him to open up to someone he had just barely met," thought Yoruichi for a moment. I wondered for a bit and then realized something.
"Ah…what are we going to tell his friends? I bet they are worried sick about him," I ranted as Yoruichi looked surprised and laughed at me. I stared at her in confusion and tilted my head.
"Now I see why…since you are worried about that then Kisuke will make up something for him. I should join him in case I see Little Byakuya again," she smiled playfully and headed to the direction of Urahara Shop. Why do I feel like Little Byakuya is not going to enjoy seeing Yoruichi there? I sweat-dropped at the thought and shook my head. I could hear the sound of the rain and lean against Shiro. I waited for sleep to take me as I slowly close my eyes, but glanced at Toshiro's scarf before falling to sleep.
Flashback:
"Hey get out of my bed already!" I complained as I pulled on the pink-haired man's scaly scarf to get off my bed. For some reason this place looks like my room, but I can't be sure yet.
"That's his scarf you meanie," scolded a sleepy blue cat who was rubbing his eyes. I smiled a bit as I saw his sleepy form rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah well why does he wear it anyway, it's not even cold. Besides don't you guys have your own home and beds to sleep in," I pouted in annoyance which for some reason I can see myself doing that. I rubbed my head and sweat-drop on how this scene was familiar but awkward.
"Igneel gave that to him, so it's very precious to him. Anyways your bed feels comfy," explained the cat as he flies out of the house.
"Wait don't leave me here with him," I called and sigh in exaggeration. I turned from the window and smiled at the sleepy face he was making. Well he may have been a nuisance, but it feels nice to have him here. Those were from my memories thoughts as I tried to figure out who this man was and why did he almost appear in all of my memories. I was so in thought that my scream interrupted me and I turned to see what happened.
"Kyah! Hey, l-l-let me g-g-go," I stuttered as the man wrapped his arms around me and hugged me close. I blushed from head to toe and thought this was something out from one of my books. I watched as I struggle to get out of his grasp and surrendered to his warmth embracing figure. I felt a smile broke out with happiness at the thought of me maybe in love with that guy. Maybe…
I could feel something air being blown in my face and opened my eyes slowly to see Hiyori holding Kisuke's fan. I looked to my right to see a beaten up Kisuke and Shinji on the ground with a footprint on their behinds.
"Hi Hiyori, it's good to see you," I yawned while stretching. Hiyori continued staring at me which made me wonder what she was possibly thinking. She came close to me and kick Shiro who was still huddled on my left. After kicking him lightly, he just grabbed my side which she copied my Lucy kick and used it on him. I watched as he flew a few yards as he woke up and sat while clutching his nose.
"Hello Pervert," she smirked as Shiro blushed which made me raised a suspicious glance at him.
"Oh it's you, Shrimp," greeted Shiro coldly as she shot an annoyed look at him. What have I gotten myself into?!
