Sorry this chapter took so long I started it when I was out of town…but kinda got side tracked. But I finally finished it. This story slowly coming to an end. I don't know for sure how many more chapters there will be. I still have some plot holes to get out like aizen true goal why he's out to kill the spirit king and all that. Anyways thanks for the reviews again guys.

Chapter 28: Shinsou

( Toushirou pov )

Before long…we returned to the soul society. But…I feared what captain Yamamoto would do when we returned.

But…

Soon my fears disappeared…

"Captain Hitsugaya! Is she alive?!" Captain Yamamoto asked in a yell as we entered from the gate. "Yes, sir…but I don't know how long she will be…" I quickly told him. Yamamoto slowly shook his head. As some shinigamis appeared beside him.

"Make haste and take Sara hime-sama to the 4th division as fast as possible!" Yamamoto yelled. "Yes, sir!" the shinigamis yelled. "Please, let me go as well! I wish to help!" Inoue cried. "Very well. Please help save…Sara hime. Inoue orihime-sama…" Yamamoto told her.

"Yes. I'll do my best!" Inoue said quickly disappearing with the shinigamis and hime-sama.

Yamamoto quickly looked toward the floor.

"Y-Yamamoto…I'm sorry. I failed to follow orders…and I even let others shinigamis follow my led…and…because of me…" I started to say. "That's enough…captain Hitsugaya." Yamamoto quickly told me. "E-Excuse me…?" I asked in confusion.

"There is no need to apologize to me. When I was the one…who did wrong." Captain Yamamoto started to tell me. "I should have supported a party to save hime-sama. Not be against the whole idea." Yamamoto quickly shook his head. "Now because of me selfish action…hime-sama may even…" Yamamoto started to say.

I…I couldn't believe it.

Captain Yamamoto apologized to me. But normally he's never wrong.

I…I don't know how to act to all of this.

"…" I slowly closed my eyes.

What could I say?

"Don't you believe in…hime-sama?" I quickly asked Captain Yamamoto. "What? Of course I do. But…it's not like she can beat…" He started to say. "No. she can." I quickly told him. "What makes you so sure captain Hitsugaya?" Yamamoto asked me. "Because…she's hime." I plainly told him.

"…Ah, yes you're right." Yamamoto quickly said. "Hime-sama is not just the leader of the soul society…she is…what also give people hope. There for…she will not die." Yamamoto said staring toward me. I quickly nodded toward him.

Hime-sama…is weird.

I never understood why she acts the way…she did.

But…even for being weird she brought hope to the people in the soul society.

And I believe that's why…I…no why all shinigamis follow her willing lee.

Because without her…the soul society wouldn't be the same…

Flash back…

I remember when I first came to shinigami school.

I wasn't treated any different then I was back in the village.

Eyes full of fear followed me everywhere.

I was hated even by some…or just feared.

Just because…I am different.

But I never liked it…but part of me never cared as well.

IT was then I started to wonder why I came there to start with…when…she appeared out of nowhere.

"Shiro-kun!!" A voice yelled from behind me. "W-what…?!" I asked as I tried to turn around. But soon I was knocked to the ground. "What…what the hell?!" I yelled seeing hime-sama sitting on me. "I found shiro-kun! Yes I did!!" She yelled.

"Will you get off, me?!" I yelled. "No! I don't want too!" She yelled waving her arms at her sides. "Please…I blushed seeing some shinigamis staring toward us.

"Fine! Fine! You're no fun shiro-kun!" She cried getting off me. I sighed as I sat up. "Why do you have to do this every day?" I growled at her. "Maybe, I miss shiro-kun?" She answered my question when a question. "Gees…" I sighed. "…wait…does shiro-kun not like seeing me every day?" She cried as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"No, no! It's not that. It's just…" I blushed again. "What?" She asked as a group of shinigamis surrounded us. "You always get too much attention…" I said with a sigh. "What?" She asked looking at the shinigamis around us.

"Who is that shinigami next to…Hitsugaya?" one shinigami asked. "I don't know. Never seen her before." Another one said. "Well who ever she is…she doesn't have good taste to talk to someone as him." A male shinigami added in. "Yeah, your right. I mean look at that hair! Those eyes! He looks so dangerous!" Another male shinigami said.

"Shut up!" Hime yelled. "W-what?" one shinigami asked. "He's not dangerous! Just because he looks different! Your one as yourself should hold your tongue!" Hime yelled. "Hi-me…" I whispered to her. "Defending him? Why would anyone do that? Huh? How do you know, he isn't huh?" A shinigami asked her.

"Because shiro-kun is my good friend. So don't you dare speak words. In front of me! People like you make me sick!" Hime yelled. "…s-sa-san stop!" I cried. "Strong words for a woman. But too bad you can't back it up. Soon we will be shinigamis and your little buddy never will be." The shinigami grinned. "You got it wrong." Hime quickly said.

"Oh do I?" The shinigami asked. "Yes, you will never be shinigamis and I will see to it." She told them. "Oh? And how will you do that? You're full of crap!" The shinigami yelled. "Hime-sama, stop!" I yelled at her. The shinigamis quickly looked toward me as I covered my mouth. "w-what did you…j-just call her?" The shinigami asked nervously. I didn't answer. "Gees…shiro-kun you had to call me that. I guess my cover is gone." She said with a sigh.

"H-He called her hime-sama!" A shinigami cried. "…t-then you're the spirit hime?" A shinigami asked. "Yes, that would be me. Kaze Sara hime-sama…" I told them. "P-Please forgive us!" the shinigamis cried. "Aww…this takes away all the fun…" Hime cried.

"…I really don't understand you, sa-san…" I sighed.

Hime-sama is the one who picks who become shinigamis after they finish the Shinigami School. I guess…you could say…she is the final judgment.

End of flash back…

The days felt so long…when I was in Shinigami School. But now they feel so short.

But back then and Still now…she is our hope.

"Captain Hitsugaya…you should head for the 4th division as well." Yamamoto told me. "Yeah…I will sir. But…" I started to say. "…Do not worry. No shinigamis ever left the soul society…so no steps will be taken." Yamamoto told me. "What…? But…" I started to say. "Did you not hear me captain Hitsugaya? No shinigamis have left! So no steps will be taken. Do I make myself clear? Yamamoto asked me. "Y-Yes sir…" I quickly answered him.

I don't understand…it wasn't like Captain Yamamoto to give in like this.

"If you would excuse me… I will make my way to the 4th division now, sir…" I told him. He nodded to me before I disappeared.

"Even if I wished to take steps against the shinigamis, that when after…hime-sama. She would never forgive me for acts as that." Yamamoto whispered to himself.

The 4th Division…

The Division that take care of healing and saving the lifes; of the people in the soul society. Or more people know that division as the medical unit. A long time ago…hime herself was the captain of the division but quickly stepped down. And her vice captain unohana Retsu took over. Unohana-san has been the captain cent then.

And…her Vice captain follows her without question. And her vice captain is…

"Captain Hitsugaya!" Koutestu Isane yelled as she ran up to me.

Koutestu Isane is the vice captain of the 4th division. I wish sometimes…that my vice captain would be as helpful as Koutestu is.

"You're bleeding so much! Please follow me so we can get you're fixed up as soon as we can." Koutestu quickly said. "…How hime?" I quickly asked. "I'm sorry. I do not know the details. Unohana-san just asked me to take of any others who come in." Koutestu told me.

"I see…I'm sorry but before you take care of me I wish to see how hime is." I told her. "B-But captain Hitsugaya…your bleeding…" She started to say. "I know. I'm not worried about myself please understand." I said shaking my head. "…yes, I do. Okay…I'll take you to her. Please follow me." Koutestu told me.

"Alright, thank you." I whispered to her as I slowly followed after her.

I just couldn't be healed. Until I know…hime will live.

( Orihime pov )

"Souten Kishun!" I yelled. "Yes, just like that. Please hold that over hime-sama as long as you can Inoue Orihime-sama." Unohana-san told me. "Alright. I'll do my best!" I yelled. "Captain! What should we do first?" A shinigami asked unohana-san. "Stop her from bleeding. If we cannot do this, hime-sama will die." Unohana-san quickly said.

Hime-same will die…?

No…

If we can't stop her bleeding…sara-san will die?

No! I thought as my right hand started to grow. "…Inoue?" Unohana-san asked me. "No…no…she can't just…" I cried. "No! Everyone back away from hime-sama and orihime-sama!" Unohana yelled. The shinigami quickly followed her orders as a barrier surrounded myself and Sara-san.

"C-Captain Unohana…what is this?" A shinigami asked her. "I'm not sure but…it maybe a special barrier made by Inoue orihime's Shun Shun Rika. Only the himes can use this power. But…when it comes to barriers orihime-sama…is better at them then hime-sama is…" Unohana-san whispered.

"Shonou…Ayame…" I whispered as the two appeared before me. "Yes, orihime?" Ayame asked. "Please…Please help me save my sister…" I cried. "We only have as much power as you believe we have. Your will much wish to save her. Then we will do everything we can to help you." Shonou told her.

Wish to save her? But even if I do…can I really save her?

No! I can't doubt myself like this. If I do…I cannot save her!

Souten Kishun…I reject!" I yelled as the two formed a shield around her.

Please…Please stop her from bleeding. Then…then Sara-san will live.

If I can do this much then Unohana-san can truly save her. But…I also much do my part as well!

Soon the barrier surrounding myself and Sara-san disappeared.

"Inoue?" Unohana-san asked me. "I…I stop her from bleeding." I said out of breath. "Yes, you have. Thank you…I'll take it from here." Unohana-san told me. "Hurry! Get hime-sama to another bed! We do not have much time left!" Unohana-san yelled. "Yes! Captain!" shinigamis yelled and quickly moved hime.

"But…what do you plan to do?" I asked. "We must run some tests to make sure everything is alright. But…she may have a problem when it comes to blood." Unohana-san told me. "A problem…?" I asked. "If I am right…and I believe I am…she will need more blood. You said she lost a lot right?" Unohana-san asked me. "Yes, she did…" I whispered.

"Then that maybe the problem there. Hime-sama has a rare blood type you see. She has AB." Unohana-san told me. "…And if we can't find someone who has it?" I asked. "…then she will be lost within two to three hours." Unohana-san slowly shook her head.

"No…" I whispered.

"Captain! Here's hime-sama statue!" A shinigami yelled handing some papers over to Unohana-san. "Alright, thank you. Please help the others with hime-sama." Unohana-san told the shinigami. "yes!" The shinigami yelled before hurrying to the others.

"Yes…her blood level is very low. And ever if we find someone who has AB blood type. IT will still take hime-sama a long time to recover. After all the king's key has been in her body cent she was very young." Unohana-san told me. "It drained her energy didn't it?" I asked. "Yes. That's why hime-sama recovery will be slow and painful." Unohana-san said with a sigh.

She looked sadden by her words. And the way…she looks over Sara-san…was like a big sister protecting her little sister.

Was this painful for Unohana-san as well?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised…hime…I mean Sara-san is like the heart of the soul society. And when the heart hurts…everything around it falls.

"Captain Hitsugaya please slow down!" Koutestu voice yelled. "How can I…at a time like this?!" Toushirou-kun yelled back at the two entered the room. "Isane…? I thought I asked you to take of any others. Why do you bring one…this banged up here?" Unohana-san asked her vice captain. "I-I apology captain! But…captain hitsugaya wouldn't let me take care of him until he saw hime-sama statue with his own eyes." Koutestu-san told her captain.

"…very well. I guess it cannot be helped." Unohana-san shook her head. "She right in here this way…Hitsugaya." Unohana-san said leading the way. Toushirou-kun quickly followed after her.

But soon Toushirou-kun stop dead in his tracks. "h-hime!" he yelled. She was hooked up to so many machines. "As you can guess her statue isn't good." Unohana-san told him. "…hime." Toushirou-kun whispered. "But her biggest problem at this point is the blood lost. She's last so much blood her body is going into shock." Unohana-san told him.

( Toushirou pov )

Shock? And all of this is because of the king's key.

"Then…can't you give her blood? That would save her right?" I asked. "I'm sorry to say this but that will not be easy. Even if we found someone who had the same blood type…it will still take a long time for her to recover." Unohana told me. "Even so…if she can get that blood she will live right?" I asked. "well, eyes." Unohana quickly answered me. "Then, find a match quickly! Or…hime will!" I started to yell.

"It's not that easy. Hime-sama has a rare blood type. I will be very hard to find a match to start with." Unohana slowly shook her head.

Rare blood type? Then…that means she has…?!

"What's her blood type?" I asked. "It's AB. Not many people have this blood type…that's why we may not…" Unohana started to say. "Take some of my blood." I quickly said. "Toushirou-kun?" Inoue asked.

"I have AB blood type. I am most likely the only match you will find. So, please use my blood to save hime!" I yelled. "We can't do that! You're too beat up captain Hitsugaya. If we're to do that…you may!" Koutestu cried. "I know! But…I wish to help her…as much she has helped me!" I yelled.

I want…I want to save my sister.

If my blood could save her…then I will do it no matter what the price maybe.

"But…still what you're asking is…too high a price!" Koutestu yelled back at me. "Enough, Isane." Unohana spoke up. "But captain…" She whispered. "It's useless. He has made up his mind. If one wishes something…it's useless to try to stop them. You understand this don't you?" Unohana asked her vice captain.

"Yes…I do, captain." Koutestu whispered.

She gave me so much…and I haven't given anything back.

"Unohana…I…thank you." I whispered to her. She slowly smiled toward me. "Don't thank me until hime-sama recovers." She told me. I slowly nodded to her. "Well, then…why don't we get started?" Unohana quickly said. I nodded to her.

To save hime-sama…no to save sa-san…I would do anything…after all not only the soul society would be damaged if she would pass away.

The door to the king's world would appear as well…and maybe the end of the world as we know it.

Author note: Shinsou is the name of Ichimaru gin zanpakutou. Shinsou means Divine spear. I thought it was a great name for this chapter. It made me think of divine judgment as well for some reason. Ichigmaru yelled ikorose that means shoot to death to release his shi-kai form.
