In Hunco Mundo Aizen looked at Ulquiorra slightly dispointed, "So you are telling me that you ran away from a fight."
"Forgive me Lord Aizen, I was not expecting his zanpakto to fight so brutally.", the injured arrancar said from his knelling position.
"Don't you mean you fought the lieutenant, cuatro. Hisagi is not strong enough to summon his zanpakto to fight for him. Nor do the two get along.", Tousin said.
"I meant what I said, I was fighting his zanpakto the last half of the fight. He took over his master's body and fought in a very unpredictable manner. He was also not how he was described in his file, he was different.", Ulquiorra said.
Aizen leaned forward intrigued, "How different would you say?"
"My Lord I believe it would be easier to see what had transpired, there is much I am unable to fathom."
"Very well show us."
Ulquiorra stood up and pulled out his eye and crushed it. Energy swirled around the room as everyone saw the fight between Shuhei and Ulquiorra. When the fight was over Ulquiorra bowed, "I am sorry for my failure."
"On the contrary my dear arrancar, you have done me better than catching him. You have found out why he vanished from Soul Society in the first place.", Aizen chuckled.
"Thank you."
Grimmjow walked forward, "My Lord, what happened?"
Aizen chuckled, "You two have exposed why Lieutenant Hisagi has vanished all together, and that reason is Soul Rebirthal. Only the zanpakto is said to be able to reverse their master this way." Gin smiled with Aizen, while Tousin frowned. "Tousin what seems to be the matter?"
"All that work I put into him being afraid of his zanpakto didn't work. He is now dependent upon his murderous zanpakto rather than refusing to use it.", the traitorous captain of ninth division replied.
"You are mistaken, this is exactly what we need.", Aizen said, with an evil smile on his face.
When Shuhei was healthy enough to join everyone again Master Splinter decided to have a buffet line where everyone that they knew had to bring a dish for dinner. Even Angel was invited to come along, and she brought along a pie that she requested her grandmother help her make. Shuhei had not shown his face when everyone was in the kitchen and he felt the need to be silly when he made his reentry. So he snuck up behind Angel and picked her off the floor. She screamed and flailed in his arms while he and the others laughed.
Angel pushed him into all gently when he put her down, "You big jerk, stop scaring me when I visit. Why do you do that?"
"Because scaring my brothers isn't as fun as scaring you.", was his reply as he ran from the kitchen, Angel chasing him.
April looked at Splinter, "It is good to see him up and running again. He looked absolutely miserable on that bed."
"Yes his place is among the people he loves the most, not stuck in a bed with nothing to do.", Splinter agreed. "He is more trouble there than when he is moving."
"He is absolutely dreadful when you are his doctor always asking when he is allowed to get out of bed. Drove me nuts.", Donny added, shaking his head.
The purple turtle yelped when Shuhei caught him in a headlock, "I am dreadful am I? I will show you how dreadful I can be."
"Oh my goodness, no please don't.", Donny begged as his brother dragged him out of the kitchen. "Get off of me; you weigh more than you look." Casey looked out of the kitchen and laughed as Donny was tickled by the brunet pinning him down by sitting on the back of his shell. "No…stop. Someone help me, he is trying to kill me.", Donatello laughed out.
Raphael and Leonardo looked at each other and smirk before running into the living room and tackling the oldest to the floor. Shuhei let out a soft 'ouf' when they landed on him. He retaliated and grabbed Raph twisting so that he pinned down the red turtle. Donny took this time to run back to the kitchen and rest against he counter. "Man he got you.", Mikey laughed out.
The purple turtle glared at the baby of the family before look over at the wrestling older siblings, "They are crazy."
Splinter chuckled at the Donatello, "It only seems crazy to you because you do not enjoy wrestling like the rest of your siblings did. At least they are being careful with him."
Donny nodded, "If they get too rough I will make them stop."
April put a hand on the smartest turtle's shoulder, "Don't stop it too early, let him have his fun." Casey nodded in agreement as the three of them watch the three wrestle with each other.
Toshiro sat at a table thinking about why he was still here. He sighed, 'Why does Head Captain still want Hisagi back? It makes no sense, the law clearly states that once a soul has gone through Soul Rebirthal they can not go back with the Soul Reapers. Why is Head Captain trying to break the law?' He grabbed his water that he had been nursing for the last half our. Someone suddenly sat down next to him causing the boy captain to look up the white haired man, "Can I help you?"
"I sure hope you can, Shuhei is obviously in danger. Is there anyway that Soul Society could help us Visord's out keep him safe?", Kensei asked, leaning forward.
Toshiro snorted and looked at his water, "I wish, but Head Captain seems more interest in getting him back to being a lieutenant despite what the law commands. He hasn't said so in those words but I know what Head Captain Yamamoto is wanting."
Kensei looked at the young captain closely it was almost like something was wrong despite the boys blank face. "I take you don't agree with it."
The boy shook his head, "The law clearly states that it is forbidden. It was in place even before he took over as head captain. It doesn't make sense."
The Visord couldn't help but smile at the boy captain, "He never has with some of his orders. You should have seen him during my day, at least now he has some common sense to send you to do the retrieval."
Toshiro closed his eyes, "I told him I wouldn't do it, that I refused to go against the law. He is sending captain Kuchiki to get me. Then he is going to send the worst people to come and get him. Kazeshini is going to kill them."
"What? You can't be serious?", Kensei asked baffled.
The boy nodded, "I am being striped of my position as captain and Matsumoto is going to take my place. Whether she wants to or not."
Kensei was in complete shock, 'Soul Society finally does the right thing and has a captain with a level head and they are going to punish him for obeying he law.' "What about Central 46?"
The boy gave a grim smile, "Where do you think Head Captain got his orders? I am going to be striped of Hyorinmaru and forced to live in the rukongai districts under watch."
"The memory retrieval tactic for this situation will kill Shuhei. Have they all gone insane?", Kensei growled out.
"I am leaving soon, under Hyorinmaru's request. He was the one that told me to disobey the Head Captain in the first place.", Toshiro said, eyes still closed. His emotions in perfect check holding back any emotions from his face. "I am leaving without telling Kurosaki or Rukia."
'That is harsh.', Kensei thought to himself. Looking at the boy, his blank face has not changed. 'He is like an adult in a child's body.'
The white haired boy opened his aqua blue eyes, also holding no emotion. "Captain Kuchiki should be here soon, I have to go."
Kensei looked shocked, "Wait, tell me what happened to him. What happened to make Kazeshini do the Soul Rebirthal?"
"I would but I don't have time, I have to go or I will be forced to fight the people that I once worked with. I don't want to be forced to do that, it isn't worth doing.", Toshiro got up and walked out the door.
Kensei sat there in complete shock for a minuet before getting up to go catch up to the young ex-captain. The boy looked at him from the corner of his eye when the older spoke, "You don't have to leave. If you really want to help Shuhei you should stay and help us protect him. You have the zanpakto Hyorinmaru, I have heard of him. His is the strongest ice based zanpakto spirit alive. We could use that kind of power on our side."
"You don't get it; I don't want to fight who I used to see as comrades. That is why I am leaving.", Toshiro growled out.
"No I do get it, we had to leave too when we had hollows added to us. I understand where you are coming from, but right now you are needed here. The boy needs all the help he can get right now. And we need to know what happened to him to know who to keep away from him.", Kensei agued. Toshiro quickly pulled his Spiritual Pressure tighter around him and hid behind a wall. Kensei did the same and stood next to the white haired boy.
"Are you kidding he left, he is making himself in more trouble than ever before.", Rinji's said.
"You wanted to know who to keep him from, that group is exactly who you want to keep away from him.", Toshiro whispered. "I don't want to leave him unprotected, but I don't have a choice if I get captured by them I will get punished. And there is nothing anyone can do to protect me. Not even you, you need to focus on Hisagi. You can't let them get their hands on him, he will die."
Kensei stayed silent, 'Now I understand, he wants our concentration to be on Shuhei. He is right if we have him with us he can and will get taken, it will be a distraction.'
Toshiro knelt behind a box as the group of Soul Reapers passed them, Kensei glared at them. A group of five passed with out giving Kensei a second look. Then Captain Kuchiki who looked down at Toshiro's hiding spot for a second, causing the boy to reach for his gigai pills, then looked right at Kensei and nodded before he passed the ally way they were in.
Toshiro was in shock, the sixth division captain didn't even say anything. Kensei smiled in his direction, "I don't think you have to worry about him, I think he gets it."
