A/N: Eh...my cousin killed me for leaving a cliffy last time. She literally punched me into doing another chapter. Thanks to: Hitsumi Hikari and Valerie Michaelis for all your support and reviews :)
I own nothing but my character and messed up plot...It says it at the end of my profile.

Chapter 10: That Nameless Story and Soundless Voice
Warning! May Have Spoilers!
Miyuki's POV:
The last thing I saw when I blacked out was Toshiro's terrified eyes.
The last thing I heard was his terrified and angered scream.
The last thing I felt was being placed on the ground and a rush of wind.
I wanted to say to him, "I'm okay! No worries!"
I wanted to silence his scream with a hug.
I want to feel his warm hands hold me close.
I heard soft beeping.
I felt someone sitting next to me.
Their arm slightly touching mines and a wet substance that felt like water fell drop by drop onto my cheeks.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry!.."
That voice.
So pained.
"I should've saw! I should've known! T-then you wouldn't be in this state..."
This was his sad voice.
"It's alright, everything is alright now..."
That's what I wanted to say.
I wanted to comfort him, like how he used to when my brother died and when I felt scared.
I heard soft, slow breathing and I felt soft hair on my arm.
"He fell asleep...He'll catch a cold without a blanket.."
"Would you shut up with all the crap Miyuki?"
I turned and faced Dark Miyuki.
Her body was faded.
"You.."
"Yeah, I know it's me okay?...Last night, I kept your body slightly awake. I heard from Unohana-taicho that you've been out for almost a week now. And that Toshiro always stays over night with you..."
Miyuki went wide eyed.
"But...I don't think we both can survive..."
"What do you mean?"
"The wound was pretty bad...it did puncture some organs..."
Miyuki looked down.
"But I never told him that I..-.."
"I know...sorry kid..."
Dark Miyuki held Miyuki in her arms.
Third Person POV:
"Taicho...Let's go, we can visit her tonight."
Rangiku closed the door to the room after her and saw Toshiro asleep next to Miyuki.
She didn't want to, but she walked over to him and shook him awake.
"Urgh...what is it Matsumoto?"
"You have a captain's meeting and I have a lieutenant's meeting."
Toshiro stood up and was about to walk over to the door when Rangiku stopped him.
She looked at his slightly red eyes and light bags under it.
"Taicho...were you..crying?..."
Toshiro looked down sadly and slowly nodded.
Rangiku pulled him into an UNFOFFICATING hug.
The young captain stood where he was and actually enjoyed this comforting hug.
"Now, come on taicho."
Rangiku pulled him out of the room with a happy smile on her face.
Toshiro slightly smiled back.
The captain's meeting:
"Now then, before this meeting ends...I have some sad news for you all"
So-taicho's booming voice lowered down into a sad one.
"Unohana-taicho, if you please."
Unohana nodded and stood in front of her fellow captains.
"From looking at her wounds and her inner organs...we think that, Miyuki Himitsu-taicho may not make it."
All the captains went wide eyed.
Toshiro's blood went cold and his skin turned slightly pale.
Kyoraku lowered his hat to cover his eyes.
Even Byakuya was shocked and his hands covered his eyes.
"There is only a 40% chance she'll make it through our surgery. I shall inform you all of her condition every once and awhile. That is all.."
Unohana went back to her rightful place.
The room fell quiet.
"Dismissed, and let us all pray for Himitsu-taicho's recovery."
Lieutenant meeting:
"There is only a 40% chance that she'll make it."
Isane informed her fellow Lieutenants.
Hisagi was shocked.
Momo was stunned.
And Rangiku started to cry instantly.
Rukia, who was going in as substitute for the 13th division, also broke down and cried.
Renji pulled her into an embrace.
Nanao stood up.
"This meeting is now over... everyone is dismissed."
Her voice slightly cracked and she let the room followed by the other lieutenants.
That night:
Word of Miyuki's condition spread around quickly.
None of the taicho or fukutaicho left their office for awhile, until they needed to head back to their barracks.
Toshiro sat up in his room late at night.
His head was filled with regret.
He should've known, he couldn't even protect her!
And worst of all...it was him who hurt her.
Toshiro slammed his fist on the floor.
"Damn!"
"I shouldn't have even left her that day! I shouldn't have gone to Shino Academy! If I didn't she wouldn't be Aizen's toy...I shouldn't have let her go fight off the arrancars by herself when we went to the world of the living!...I should've known it was an illusion when I was about to stab Momo..."
He regretted everything...
The next few days:
"Hey, Rangiku."
Rangiku, for the first time, was working on her paper work.
"What's up, Hisagi?"
He set down a stack of paper work on Toshiro's desk next to his other un-finished work.
"Where's Hitsugaya-taicho?"
"I haven't seen him since yesterday...he said he was going to go train somewhere...He looked like he hasn't got any sleep at all and he got skinnier."
"He didn't say where he was going?"
"No.."
Hisagi placed a hand on Rangiku's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come back safe and sound!"
He tried to smile cheerfully.
"Hisagi...you're worried too, right?"
His smile faded.
"Yeah...I am.."
"If Miyuki being hurt like this, makes him this stressed...imagine what happens when she might...pass.."
There was a moment of silence between the 2 fukutaichos.
"I-I doubt she won't make it! She's my taicho after all! She's strong, I know it!"
Rangiku smiled lightly.
Toshiro sat under the waterfall to let the pouring water try to cool him down.
"Hitsugaya-taicho.."
He turned and saw Byakuya.
"Kuchiki-taicho...what do you need?"
"I was informed by Unohana-san to tell all the taicho and fukutaicho this: "Today we shall hope Miyuki makes it through this surgery... You will be informed early tomorrow morning if she made it...that is all."
Toshiro clenched his fists.
"Thank you...Kuchiki-taicho.."
Byakuya disappeared and left Toshiro alone with his thoughts.
World of the living:
"Ne, Rukia.."
Rukia turned and looked at Ichigo.
"I want to take you somewhere."
He took her hand and dragged her to a ice skating park.
"I don't know how to.."
"It's fine, just hold my hands and I'll guide you."
Ichigo looked over and saw Orihime and the others skating as well.
"How's Miyuki...?"
"I was informed that she was suppose to go into surgery today...they will give us and answer early tomorrow morning.."
" Oh.."
"Yeah."
Ichigo slightly let go of Rukia's smaller hands.
She tried to skate foreword but fell into Ichigo's arms.
"Haha, you suck Rukia."
"W-whatever.."'
"Hey, you know after hearing about Miyuki's past...and what her greatest fear was...I wish I was able to comfort her or something..."
"Everyone felt that way, Ichigo."
"I realize how grateful I am to have had a mom, dad, and 2 little sisters...Miyuki didn't even know who her parents were...and her brother died too... I just want to know why she never told anyone.."
"Nii-sama told me the story about her and how he met her with Hisana...She was crying because Hitsugaya-taicho left. They asked why she never told anyone and she said that she never wanted to be a burden to anyone...so she would just smile like nothing was wrong.."
Ichigo let go of one of Rukia's hands and she moved over to his side.
"A burden, huh?...Well, either way she was a burden when we had to save her and Orihime...but it wasn't her fault I guess.."
"ICHIGOOOOOOOOO!"
Someone slapped Ichigo on the back so hard it sent him straight down to the cold floor.
He let go of Rukia's hand right before he fell so it left Rukia slowly move foreword.
"WHAT THE HELL KEIGO?"
"The fireworks are starting!"
"You gotta hit me just because of that?"
Keigo skated away followed by fuming Ichigo.
Rukia stood there and smiled.
She looked over at an empty space in the ice rink and somehow a picture of Miyuki and Toshiro flashed in her mind.
She shook it off and tried to skate over to Ichigo.
Next Morning In the Soul Society:
All the taichos and fukutaichos were sitting in their own home or in their barracks waiting for the results of Miyuki's surgery.
Even the so-taicho sat quietly, wondering about Miyuki.
Toshiro was laying on his side on his futon.
He stared at the white wall in front of him.
Flash back time!
"Miyu-chan can you sing?"
"Uh, I-I dunno"
"Come on, stop being a baby, Miyu-miyu."
"Don't call me that Shiro-niichan!"
"Then sing!"
Little Miyuki was nervous but she walked over to the piano and started to play and sing.
Seijaku ga machi wo
Tsutsumu yoru ni
Furi sosogu shiro
Kazashita te no hira ni
Fureta shunkan ni toketeku
Haka nai hito kakera
Oto mo naku tsumoru
Hikari wo
Atsumete kimi wa warau
Ima donna oto
Kotae tatte kimi wa mou nani mo
Kikoe nai
Soon Miyuki finished that song and suddenly started a new one.
Yuugure nobiru kage wo otte hayamaru kokyuu ni
muchuu de kidukenakute kimi no koe wa toketa
itsu demo kotoba nishita bun dake tsuyokunatta ki ga shita
mayou tabi togatta kioku no nake de
sagashiateta hikari ga iro no nai monogatari taguriyosete
"Suke! Miyu-chan you're amazing!"
"Miyu-Miyu what I tell ya?"
Toshiro smiled at the memory.
"The song names were so beautiful in their own way for some reason.. Soundless voice and Nameless story..." He said to himself.
Suddenly a hell butterfly flew through the window and landed on Toshiro's hand.
Hitsugaya-taicho of the 10th division, we will now tell you how Himitsu-taicho of the 9th division's surgery went, She-..
