Hitsugaya Toushirou's Frozen Royal Wings

Chapter 9: Another Hitsugaya?

At 10th squad barracks…

"Let us enter. We just want to visit Rangiku-san," Renji Abarai yells out to Oumaeda Marechiyo, vice captain of the 2nd squad and also the currently assigned to guard the 10th squad.

"No one is allowed to enter! That's the order!" Omaeda responds yelling too.

"What a fat man! Just full of air," Renji says annoyingly.

"What did you say?"

"Did I say anything, Rukia?"

Rukia just ignores the two who just keep on arguing to each other.

Unexpectedly, Kyouraku Shunsui arrives and says, "If I go along with them, then…"

Confused Omaeda utters, "That's…"

"Don't say you don't trust the 8th Squad Captain?"

Walking in a street…

A garganta opens up in the sky which summons hollows targeting Toushirou.

"Good timing. Hadou #31: Shakkaho!" Obviously not in the mood, Toushirou generates and orb of crimson red energy on his palm blasting it towards the hollows. "Good. If this keeps up, Kurosaki will eventually know about my reiatsu."

Hollows just keep on targeting him. One is supposed to fire a cero to him but gets slashed by a sword. "Toushirou! How long will you keep away from us," the irritated user says as he punches Toushirou. Having noticed that Ichigo will converse Toushirou, Uryuu, who arrives together with Ichigo, continues firing arrows from his Silver Sparrow.

Ichigo uses this time to talk to the young captain. "Even fighting with hollows, you're not using your zanpakutou! Answer, Toushirou!"

Toushirou stands and says while letting his reiatsu overflows this time, "It's because my sword can no longer hold my reiatsu."

Freezing all the hollows, Toushirou continues overflowing his reiatsu up to Garganta and immediately rushes to it. Ichigo flashes steps towards Toushirou but Toushirou shocks Ichigo by calmly saying, "If you still get in my way, I'll freeze you."

Seeing the stunned Ichigo, Toushirou enters the frozen Garganta. As Toushirou leaves, Ichigo looks at the face of the young captain who seems to utter words.

"Just what does he mean?"

At Kurosaki's residence…

"I've done eating! Thanks. I'm now bloated. I must go now," the little girl says as she stands and leaves.

"You're just going away after that," Karin gets annoyed by the little girl's act. "And why are you wearing a black hooded kimono like that?"

"It's because I'm a shinigami!"

The little girl disappears after saying that.

"I see. It's strange. I thought she is connected to Toushirou."

At the Hueco Mundo…

"Welcome, Hitsugaya-kun. Just as I thought, you're the only one who can see through all my bluffs," smiling Aizen says. Toushirou just looks seriously at him. "Oh! How scary are you, Hitsugaya-kun! But since you are here, let me present you your gift."

Kusaka, holding the sleeping Hinamori, appears which shocks Toushirou. "You, bastards. What the hell did you do to her?"

"We've done nothing but we are having to do with you. Please cooperate, Hitsugaya-kun." Eventhough he sees Aizen smiling, Toushirou knows that what he is saying is serious.

Toushirou calms down and says, "Don't involve Hinamori with this."

"Okay, I'll try."

Toushirou immediately flashes steps towards Aizen and points his sword around his neck, warning Aizen. "Okay. I'll do it. Kusaka-kun, please bring Hinamori-chan now back to her room."

Kusaka disappears.

"Now, Hitsugaya-kun. Please lower your sword down."

Toushirou sheathes his sword back to its scabbard.

"You can feel, don't you? Your reiatsu is going out of your control. I can help you fix that problem. Hitsugaya-kun." Aizen touches Toushirou's face. Toushirou is then unable to move. (What is this feeling?) Aizen establishes an eye-to-eye contact to Toushirou. Toushirou's pupils dilate many times and falls unconsciously towards Aizen. "Take a nap for awhile, Hitsugaya-kun. You're really easy to manipulate."

Aizen takes an evil laugh.

Back at the 10th squad barracks…

Seeing the blonde-hairde vice captain gazing at the sky, Rukia together with Captain Kyoraku and Renji, enters her room. She then hands Toushirou's haori to Rangiku.

"Why? Should I be happy that he's okay or be mad because he leaves his haori?"

"Rangiku-san."

At Urahara's Residence…

"There was an emergent captains' meeting held lately," says Yoruichi.

"Captains' meeting? And I am not included?"

"Relax. You are here during that time patrolling. The meeting is about the abduction of Hinamori Momo, vice captain of 5th squad," she continues.

Confused Soi Fon asks, "Just what are you saying, Yoruichi-sama?"

Yoruichi deeply sighs and says, "The captain commander immediately orders the execution of Hitsugaya Toushirou upon learning that all the damages done in the 5th squad barracks are made by Hyourinmaru."

"I thought Hitsugaya and that Hinamori grew up together like siblings. Why would Hitsugaya kidnaps Hinamori?"

"Even knowing that fact, Yamamoto-soutaicho seems to ignore it due to the evidence that Hyourinmaru's reiatsu is present. More so, before these events, Kurotsuchi Mayuri is asked by Hitsugaya about a certain document which troubles the young captain very much."

"What about this certain document?"

"It is a suspension notice for the Captain of 10th squad – Hitsugaya Taikirou."

"Eh? Hitsugaya… Taikirou?"

"The suspension will end on December 20, this year."

"But what is the relevance of this issue to the events currently happening?"

"Kurotsuchi says that when hacking the Central Library's system, they find an interesting subject on Hitsugaya Taikirou's profile. She left a note saying that she will return when the King's Seal is cut by her little brother."

"Could that Hitsugaya Taikirou's little brother is…"

"I am not able to confirm it, though. Kurotsuchi just says Even Hitsugaya-taicho doesn't know about it. Or shall I say, he doesn't even remember that name. Remember when did Yamamoto-soutaicho assign Hitsugaya?"

"After we have our regular meeting, everyone left the hall except Hitsugaya. I think that time. Don't say that…"

"Wondering why Hitsugaya didn't leave together with the others? It's because he wants to ask about the suspension notice to Yamamoto-soutaicho himself but he didn't get any response. Instead, he is assigned to a special task – that is to guard the King's Seal."

"Why would soutaicho assign someone out of a meeting?"

"If the captain commander wanted just to assign a guard, he would rather do it on a meeting. But with this situation, I can surmise that it is Yamamoto-soutaicho himself waiting for something."

CHAPTER END….

A/N: While keeping the actions and the conversations balance, I am saying that I thought this fic will only have 10 chaps but now, I think it's going to have more!

So please continue reading and reviewing. Reviews are a big help for me to improve! Please criticize my work!
