A Tough Decision

Hitsugaya's head throbbed as he slowly regained consciousness. He doesn't remember where he is. He doesn't recall what happened. All he knew is that he was looking out by the balcony, then Aizen appeared and…

Wait! Hitsugaya's eyes shot wide open as he recalled what had happened. Immediately, adrenaline rushed through his veins as nervousness crept in. He hoped, against all hopes, that all is well. Unfortunately, fate was against him as he found himself hanging by the ceiling with barb wires. He was suspended a foot and a half from the ground and his feet were tied a few inches apart from each other to the floor. The position his arms and legs were in made his body form an X shape. He wore shackles that sealed his reiatsu so he can neither use kidou nor can he defend himself from the beatings he can only imagine. He also wore nothing but the small, brown, tattered cloth that is tied to one side of his waist and go two inches above the knee.

"Aww, so my cute little dolly is awake" the unmistakable voice of Aizen echoed inside the small room he's in.

"Aizen!!" Hitsugaya hissed as he looked at the man entering his cell "What do you want from me you bastard?" he glared at the man. No more, he told himself. He won't break like last time. He will suppress. He will not give in to this mad man's desires.

"Tch, tch, tch, such an unpleasant attitude you have, Hitsugaya kun. We'll have to fix that" Aizen grinned as he revealed before his prey a white whip with protruding spikes all around it.

Hitsugaya noticed the whip "That's…"

"As expected from the great heavenly guardian, this whip was once part of Luppi's released form. I took it out before Grimmjow disintegrated him. And now, it'll be used to teach you some manners" with that, Aizen sent the whip forward making it collide with his victim's bare chest.

Blood spattered across the walls and onto the floor. The red liquid ran down the poor boy's body but he did not scream. He only threw his head back and hissed loudly.

"What? No scream?" Aizen looked at his doll and tilted his head to one side.

Hitsugaya smirked at this "What's the matter Aizen? You hit like a girl"

Aizen's eyes widened when he heard that insult. Last time he whipped this boy, he heard a cry for help, a scream for mercy. Now, he heard an insult. Suddenly, his mood was ruined and his happy face contorted to that of fury. "Rude aren't we? We can fix that"

With that said, the sadist started a series of whips on his prey's chest.

Hitsugaya's eyes closed tightly shut and fists clenched and twisted against the barb wires. The wounds inflicted on his body is becoming too much. When the whip collided with his abs, he could hold it off no more…

A loud, deafening scream of pain roared through the entire structure as the helpless boy expressed his suffering.

Aizen smiled at this as it urged him to continue whipping. And continue he did. The sadist left nothing untouched! Arms, forearms, legs, hips, abs, chest, shoulders, back, armpit, etc., every imaginable place in the human body was hit and damaged until skin peeled off at some places and revealed the muscles that were in distress. Blood oozed out of the large wounds and dripped on the floor. The walls were littered with blood and a pool began to set underneath the body.

Hitsugaya's head hang loosely against his chest as he breathed heavily. He gasped for air like a fish out of water and his body longed for relief against the torments.

Aizen dropped the whip and took out a wakizashi from his coat. Without a thought on how the boy would feel, he harshly pulled on his victim's white hair so their staring at each other face to face. Then, the traitor pressed the blade of his wakizashi against the boy's forehead slicing it open while the hand behind the boy's head pushed it forward to make sure the cut will be deep and painful. The blade was obviously not sharp enough to pierce skulls but it sure his sharp enough to inflict excruciating wounds.

The poor boy screamed in pain as the blade sank deep into his forehead. Blood immediately squirted out of it until his captor slid the wakizashi to the side and let the blood from the newly opened wound cover his victim's face.

His head hung loosely back against his chest as he hissed sharply to try and bear the suffering he's experiencing.

"Hitsugaya kun, you've screamed and hissed but you haven't begged for mercy, why is that?" Aizen crouched down and looked at Hitsugaya in the eye.

"Bastard" was all his doll said. Enraged by this, the sadist slapped the boy across the face.

"Guess we'll need to use the spike ball to clean your disgusting attitude" With that, Aizen walked to the cabinet just outside the cell and pulled out a long staff with a spike ball at the end.

Hitsugaya struggled against the binds that tied him up at the sight of the weapon. That thing could break bones with one strike!

"Are you ready, Shirou-chan?" Aizen's sadistic smile is now across his face as he positioned himself behind his dolly and readied the weapon.

"AIZEN YOU BASTARD!!!" Hitsugaya yelled but he knows that it won't prevent what's going to happen next.

Arrancars that were asleep suddenly woke up as they heard one obnoxiously loud scream of pain.

Hitsugaya stared in horror at his broken bone that pierced through his left knee. It's white color was stained with it's own blood as it showed to the world the damaged done by the Spike ball. His skin was peeled off and fluttering in the air here and there. The muscles that once covered the now broken bone was splattered across the walls making it look like it exploded out of nowhere.

"Still not going to beg, Hitsugaya kun?" Aizen smirked, taking in the sight of the pained face of the once proud 10th division captain filled with tears and decorated with tightly closed eyelids.

The boy simply shook his head in defiance.

"Suit yourself" the sadist shrugged and continued with the torture.

Two more horrible screams disturbed the residents of Las Noches as the prisoner was tortured.

"Still not gonna break?" Now, Aizen is furious.

Hitsugaya shook his head again. Now, his other leg is in the same condition as his left. His right arm is in a worse condition. One bone segment was cut off from the rest of the forearm and is now lying on the floor while the rest of the bone that remained connected to his body pierced through his muscles and skin and is now a protruding body part.

Aizen sighed in exasperation. He has to hold himself back so as not to kill this rare and precious thing.

"What?" Ukitake spoke, eyes wide in surprise and horror

"You've got to be kidding me!" Kyouraku exclaimed

"I don't believe this" Unohana murmured

Byakuya was silent.

"Forgive me, everyone…" The sou taichou began again "…But the decision is final. We shall NOT go out and rescue Hitsugaya taichou. The war is fast approaching and we have lost too much power on our side to take the risks of a rescue operation. Right now, we can only hope for Hitsugaya taichou's well being. You are all asked to train yourselves for future battles. I shall entertain no more questions. Now…DISMISS!!"

Byakuya stood still on his balcony. Yet again, he found himself in this situation. 'What to do? What to do?' he thought silently to himself.

Should he break the law, fulfill his promise to Hisana that he'll protect the boy and rescue him?

Or should he keep his promise to his parents, Obey the law and hope that the boy will be alright?

What to do?

To be continued

What will Byakuya do? What will happen to Hitsugaya? All will be revealed in the next chapter
