MY NEXT CHAPTER YOU GUYS! Thanks for the wait! I've been busy lately, so yeah... Well, thanks for reading!

Hoshimi stood there, staring at the sword spirit. "I... am... the Spirit... of Light?" she stammered out as she backed away.

Toshiro yelled "You fool! There's a reason I kept that one detail from her!"

Hyorinmaru started to kneel to his master. "I am sorry master, have you only given me that detail earlier..."

Hoshimi stood there, her white hair flying behind her. "Spirit... of Light..."

Toshiro walked over to her, frowning. "I guess I have to tell you then." He then retold the story that Yoruichi had told him during what seemed like so long ago. Hoshimi just stood there, listening passively. Hyorinmaru stood still, nodding at his master's words.

At the end of the tale, Hoshimi collapsed to her knees. "I have Dark inside me too?" she muttered weakly, her face turning paler. Toshiro winced in sympathy. It would be traumatizing to find that you had an evil spirit in you. He kneeled down next to her as she started to shiver. "Hoshimi..."

Hyorinmaru walked next to his master, his blue robe fluttering. "Master, we must find the Spirit of Fire. This is your job as the Spirit of Ice." Toshiro snapped "Stay quiet! We must calm Hoshimi down first!"

Hyorinmaru shook his head. "I don't understand master, isn't this what was told to the girl when she was first born?"

Toshiro scowled at him. "No, she has amnesia. Now hurry up and get Uruhara!" The sword spirit bowed and flash-stepped away. A couple of moments later, the pair came, Uruhara frowning as he saw Hoshimi's current state.

"Toshiro, we're going to need sedatives. She's gone past the point of trauma." he muttered while reaching into his robes, taking out a small case of pills.

Toshiro ignored the fact that he used his first name, just grabbing the case of pills. "How many?" he asked while popping it open.

Uruhara sighed. "One should do the trick since she's so small." Toshiro nodded and popped out a small white pill. He brought it to Hoshimi, who was clutching her head and screaming. "Hoshimi, you need to take this."

Hoshimi looked up, a haunted look in her iridescent eyes. "Toshiro... Will it make me feel better?"

Toshiro felt his heart squeeze as he saw the look in her eyes. He gritted his teeth and plastered on a smile. "Yes, they will, just swallow one."

Hoshimi's trembling hand gently took the pill, her other hand still on her head. She positioned her hand in front of her mouth and swallowed the pill. She smiled as the pain faded away. "Thanks Toshiro..." she whispered as she fell asleep.

Toshiro sighed as she drifted off, picking her up. "Thanks Uruhara." The shopkeeper looked at him in surprise. "I think that's the first time you ever thanked me. Is this girl really that important to you?" he asked him, covering his face with his fan.

Toshiro looked at the girl in his arms and sighed. "It must be an instinct from the Spirit of Ice within me..." he whispered as she groaned.

Toshiro called to Uruhara. "We're done for the day. We have school tomorrow." He then flash-stepped off with Uruhara smiling. "Instinct you say..." he murmured, the fan covering his face again.

Hey you guys! Yes, the plot is thickening, even though this is a filler. Now then, please review for Hoshimi's sake! Tell me what you think. The fiftieth review I get will get a special chapter all to themselves! Yes, I am serious. They can request whatever they want with the characters in the story and I will write for them! They can even insert themselves into the story! And I think this story may be an OC x Toshiro... Oh dear... I lied! Yes, I lied in that one chapter that said I may not pair him! But of course the story is still young, and I will see about the pairing whether it is true of not. (Yes my brain is like that kiddies) Please review! (Although this sentence was random while I was raving about pairings!)

Ichigo: You've finally made it into the loony bin.

Me: What did you say?

Ichigo: Nothing.

Renji: He said that you made it into the loony bin.

Me: Okay, you're dead.

Far off in the Soul Society...

Rangiku: Was that a scream I hear?

Toshiro: You're just trying to get out of work, now hurry up with the paperwork.
