Toshiro sat in font of the Visord's and didn't look at them; he still planned on leaving after this. He didn't care if he looked like a cowered he felt bad for what had happened to Lieutenant Hisagi and how he didn't try to help him when the lieutenant needed help the most, and there was also the fact that if he got caught he would loose Hyorinmaru. That was the part that he couldn't bare the most, it was childish he knew but his zanpakto spirit has always been there for him when ever he need him the most and he didn't know if he could deal without having his spirits comforting presence with him.

The Visord's looked at the ex-captain, his face was completely blank of emotions. It actually gave a few of them the creeps; they didn't know how a child could hold in as much as he did. However what they could see was in his frame and that he really didn't want to think about what had happened. 'It must have been bad if this child captain really doesn't want to go back through memory lane. What the hell happened to Shuhei?', Shinji thought to himself.

Kensei kept a close eye on the boy, 'He seems relaxed now, but he never did promise to stay and help. There has to be some way to convince him to help. Tachikaze has Hyorinmaru replied to you yet?'

'No, he is blocking me out. Your suspicions are confirmed, the boy does not intend to stay after he is done explaining. If you are planning anything you better put the final touches to it now. The child has made up his mind and his zanpakto isn't going to stop him.', Tachikaze replied.

'Are you sure that you cannot break through? I know his is the strongest ice based zanpakto, but there has got to be a way to reach him.', Kensei asked, Toshiro didn't even reach for the water that was brought to him. 'Talking to Hyorinmaru may be the only way to convince the boy to stay here to help us.'

'You said it yourself Hyorinmaru is the strongest in his element. However if I can get the other Visord zanpakto's to help that may be a way. I am warning you, his is very protective of the boy. I have never come across such shields other than with Kazeshini's, but then again Kazeshini has never been known to be the friendliest with other spirits. If we force our way into his spirit plain the dragon may get defensive and may not listen. You do remember the child saying that it was Hyorinmaru's idea that he leave, don't you?', Tachikaze replied. 'The others may not even help me with that kind of danger. Dragons are known to protect with their life for what they hold most dear.'

Kensei frowned as he eyed the emotionless boy, 'Keep trying to do it yourself, I don't want him to hate anyone. Maybe if you are persistent.'

'You worry over the boy's mental state don't you?'

'Yes, I have not once seen him act like a true child. Soul Society may have done right by themselves by making him a captain, but I think their ways killed any childness that was left in him.', Kensei thought. When his zanpakto spirit didn't reply the owner got worried, 'Tachikaze? What happened to him?'

'I know the boy's story, and it is not my place to tell. At least not without Hyorinmaru's permission, but what I will tell you his story is not a…walk in the park so to speak. He has gone through many hardships that are also…well rare. His life got slightly better when he got to be a Soul Reaper but even then it is my belief he had the most struggles when it comes to being a captain.', Tachikaze said.

'You mean that any ideas that he could come up would not being taken seriously because he is a child. That I get, at least tell me how badly his past has harmed him mentally.'

His zanpakto spirit sighed, 'Your suspicions about the boy not acting like a child are about as accurate as I can give you. If he sees anything as childish he will not participate no matter how someone tries to persuade him that any age can do it.'

Kensei and his spirit stopped talking when the boy opened his mouth, "When Lieutenant Hisagi started having to deal with his situation was when he started letting go of traitor Tousin's…" The boy's eyes narrowed and finally showed some unrestrained emotion, the intensity of the anger in his eyes surprised the Visord's slightly and caused shivers to go up their spines. The anger went away pretty quickly though when he started talking again, "…teachings about how to fear your zanpakto spirit. When I first became a captain he tried to give the same spew in a conversational manner. It is my hypothesis that he only did this to people who had really strong zanpakto spirits, the people that could give him the most trouble in a fight. When Hisagi finally started letting go of that lesson and started to get close to Kazeshini that was when it happened. Anytime he tried to conceal anger or any for of negative emotions Kazeshini started to show the hidden emotions in his eyes. At first even I was hesitant to look at him in the eye before I realized what the meaning was behind it and that was when I realized how much pain he was in when people started to fear him. Getting anyone to take anything to him was a chore and then it started to get worse."

Flashback

Lieutenant Hisagi walked into his office with a stack of papers to sign, "These need your signature Captain Hitsugaya." The boy captain looked up as Hisagi's eyes started to turn red and turned to look at Hitsugaya.

Without taking his eyes off of the lieutenant's eyes he took the paperwork, "Thank you, is there anything else I can help you with? There is a question you look like you need to ask." He looked down to put down the paperwork down on the desk before he calmly looked at the lieutenant back in the eye. 'I will order it by importance later.'

The lieutenant looked at the white haired captain hesitantly, taking note that Captain Hitsugaya wasn't hiding anything from him and held no fear of him. His eyes turned to a lighter shade of red as he spoke, "Captain, I have started noticing the lack of paperwork coming to my di…" The lieutenant stopped talking and looked at Matsumoto who was doing her paperwork for a change and hiding behind her hair.

Toshiro got up from his chair and looked and stood in front of hesitant lieutenant, "Maybe we should talk about this in private, follow me to my barracks. I need to pick up some paperwork I took home last night. We can talk on the way and if you are not opposed maybe have lunch?"

Hisagi smiled and bowed, "I would honored to have lunch with you sir. Could I request that we perhaps wait to have this conversation till we are there?"

Toshiro nodded and lead the way to his barracks, along the way he turned his head slightly to look at the tired lieutenant. "How has your division been doing, last I heard the training had been going well?"

Hisagi smiled and looked at the child sized captain who had moved to walk by his side instead of being in front like their positions required, "Their training has been doing very well sir, thank you for your observation. They are getting stronger; they want to win this war. I am doing my best to keep them in shape."

The lieutenant blushed when Hitsugaya gave a courtesy smile at the news, "I am glad to hear that, perhaps our divisions should train together sometime. Or we could trade for a day of the week so that they can learn from two different styles."

Hisagi smiled again, "Yes I believe that is an excellent idea captain. I would be honored, as I am sure my division will be, to have your assistance. Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day to get the required training in."

"I am agree, perhaps we could also make the necessary plans for that as well while we are having lunch.", Captain Hitsugaya suggested.

"I couldn't agree more with you sir."

They walked by some Soul Reapers from some of the other divisions. "How can Captain Hitsugaya talk with him or even be near him. That lieutenant is scary.", one of them whispered to the other.

"I know, I wonder how the captain is able to hide his fear so well. Maybe we should ask him for some lessons?", another whispered.

Hitsugaya stopped and looked at the group, his eyes going cold, "Maybe we shouldn't, the captain of tenth is also pretty scary as well. His eyes are as cold as ice and I have heard rumors about him when he was in the rukongai he came from."

Toshiro cut them off, "I am sorry what rumors are you talking about?" He turned to Hisagi, "Please wait here, I will be right back."

"Hai, Captain Hitsugaya."

The captain turned to the group of Soul Reaper who were stiff from fear as he walked up to them, "So what are these rumors that you have heard about me?"

"Ummm…sorry captain. I haven't heard of any rumors…", the third guy said.

Toshiro held the emotions from his face, "Then may I inquire why you are here and not doing any work. There is much to be done; the borders are a great example. They have been asking for more men to help, I am sure the three of you could help immensely."

"Sorry captain, I am delivering paperwork to division twelve. Then I have to report to my captain.", the first replied, clutching the paperwork to his chest.

The first went completely stiff when Hitsugaya leveled his eyes on him, "Then why do you have time to talk with you friends when that should have been done as soon as possible?"

"You are right Captain Hitsugaya; I will do that right away."

"You will all first tell what divisions you belong to and a copy of your badges as proof.", Hitsugaya commanded.

"Yes s…s…sir.", the second said, as the three handed them over.

Toshiro's eyes leveled with the other two as the first one left to deliver the paperwork, "You two will report to your captains and tell them you have been given direct order by me that you are to report to the boarders. If you captain says otherwise tell him to let me know immediately. I will be sending Hell Butterflies to confirm that this has been done."

The two bowed, "Hai, Captain Hitsugaya." They then scurried off to their divisions.

When the small captain walked up to Lieutenant Hisagi he couldn't help but say, "That was well handled Captain Hitsugaya, we are lucky to have you with us."

Toshiro smirked as they continued on their way, "They were on duty and needed to be reminded of that. We are not at a time where we have time to dilly dally."

Hisagi's eyes finally went to their original grey color, "Yes sir, you couldn't be more correct. If you don't mind my asking what we are doing, wouldn't that be considered as dilly dally?"

"No, what we are doing is correcting what is wrong and making better preparations to defend ourselves. You are correct in making sure; don't ever hesitate to ask such questions. These are questions that need to be asked at this crucial time. Time must be spent wisely.", Hitsugaya replied.

End Flashback

The Visord's couldn't help but look at the young Soul Reaper in shock as he continued, "I tried to keep my eye on him after that, but then the Head Captain started to make it difficult to do that a few weeks later. He started requiring us to go to meeting three to four times a week, just the captains. And it became difficult to keep up with the paperwork that was required to get done. I still made time once a week to see him when we had our divisions train together, but even then I could already tell it was starting to wear him down. He started cutting off more and more emotions then and his eyes continued to stay red. The only time I noticed that they were grey was when he was standing next to me or even with me. It was like Kazeshini trusted to have him around me. Hyorinmaru and Kazeshini started to talk to each other just about the same time Hyorinmaru stopped talking to the other Zanpakto Spirits. As the days got closer to his disappearance I started to feel his Spiritual Pressure even when he wasn't near me, and I could feel his soul getting weaker everyday. I was relieved when I started to feel his soul getting better.", a sad smile appeared on his face. Without dropping his smile he continued, "It made me happy to feel him get stronger over the last ten years. That was why I volunteered for the mission to retrieve him; I had to see it for myself."

His face had gone blank again when he stopped talking, but he couldn't hide all of his guilt now that the story was out to the open. Kensei spoke up, "I think you did him more good than you think you did. Did you ever tell anyone that you could feel him?"

Toshiro closed his eyes and shook his head, "I didn't want him to be found so I didn't say anything."

Hyori gave a suspicious look, "Ok then why did you take the mission if you didn't want him to be found?"

The boy sighed, "He was already found by that point. I didn't ever plan on taking him in, if he hadn't mentioned that he had a family I would have warned him to run and get away from New York. But now that I know he does I can only hope that he manages to stay safe, I would never ask him to leave them."

"It sounds like you never planed on obeying your orders that you were given. What did you plan on doing when you found out what you needed?", Lisa asked, eyeing Kensei for confirmation to her thoughts. The white haired Visord nodded his head in confirmation. Lisa barely held her face in check when she gave her full attention to the boy.

For the first time since seeing him the Visord's were shocked when he got up and walked to the door, "Hey where are you going?"

Toshiro stopped at the door and didn't look at Shinji when he replied, "I made my decision and I don't regret what I have chosen." He then walked out of the Visord's home without another word.

So I have surprised myself with this twist, but I promise the story will stay to be about Shuhei. As Toshiro does not plan to return.

There is now a third poll up on what should happen to Toshiro at the end. Feel free to give me your opinion in anyway you feel and I will update it when I get the responses. Should he (A) live with Shuhei, (B) go back to Soul Society, (C) live with the Visord's, or (D) stay out of the rest of the story.

Now as I promised you the definition to Soul Rebirthal: the recycling of the soul without death or the situation that the soul goes into when the soul internally is unable to deal with a situation at hand and not only de-age to the most crucial part of their life in the districts and reemerge to the world of the living as a living soul but is also entirely moved to a new place to start over with a blank slate. This can only happen if the Zanpakto Spirit can cause this reversal and they can only do it once ever, so they really have to think about what is best for their master. Also the soul as to be in the right condition for the Rebirthal to take place, can't just do it for no reason.

You will find that I have a great liking for both Toshiro and Shuhei so be prepared for several stories about these two.

So until next time my readers, peace out and see you next time.
