Chapter 5

After listening to Byakuya's harrowing tale, Hisana felt herself wanting to cry. How could a young boy endure such terrible tragedy in life? Had he not passed away, she was sure he would have lived a long life in the World of the Living. Determined to right at least one wrong, Hisana turns to her husband.

"Byakuya. Please allow me to accompany you on finding Toshiro." She wasn't sure if he would allow it, since Byakuya was very protective of her.

Taken aback by his wife's request, Byakuya was momentarily surprised. However, he regained his composure and gave his reply.

"Yes. You can come along as well. It's been a few years since Toshiro saw me. So he may have forgotten who I am. Seeing a familiar face might ease his worries." Junrinan was one of the safer districts so having Hisana tagging along wouldn't be an issue.

Hisana nodded in agreement with her husband and was relieved she could come as well.

"Let's go, Byakuya." She took her husband's hand and wrapped her other arm around his torso and held on tightly. Byakuya was going to flash step to Junrinan.

Without another word, Byakuya got into a running stance and flashed away from their bed chambers.

Toshiro's house, Junrinan.

It happened again. The boy with white hair, known as Toshiro Hitsugaya was having the same dream he once experienced back in the World of the Living. Like before, he saw sheets of ice, and the harsh winds nipped around his face. Not once, did the harsh cold wind affect him since it was a dream after all, right? Through all of the howling winds, he could hear that voice. A voice, that called out to him, but he could never properly hear cause of the winds. It said,

"My…. My name is….." but the wind interrupted the voice.

In reply, Toshiro shouted, "What are you saying?! I can't hear you!"

Once again, the voice said through garbled sounds, "My name! This is my-" The winds only grew stronger and drowned out the voice that called out to Toshiro.

In his mind, Toshiro said, "There it is. That dream I've experienced has appeared once more, but it has been years. Why are the dreams returning now?"

After Toshiro arrived to the Soul Society and found his great grandmother, his dreams of hearing the voice and the fields of ice stopped. It did bother him at first because, he was so used to seeing them in his sleep, but eventually, he got over it. These days, he only focused to taking care of himself and great grandmother.

The voice tried once more to call out him, but suddenly he felt ground shake around him. "An earthquake?" he thought in a panic. He began to run away from the shaking grounds, but that didn't do any good. Toshiro heard a voice, but it wasn't the one from the dream. This voice, was loud and clear as day that said, "Wake up!" Instantaneously, his eyes opened and he jumped out of his bed with a start and felt beads of sweat fall around his face.

Panting heavily, his wide eyes scanned the surroundings. He saw a Soul Reaper and the lady from earlier. What were they doing here and why were they in his house? The lady who saw earlier from the snack shack, approached him.

Bowing slightly, she greets Toshiro and say, "Hello. Remember me? We meant at that small restaurant earlier today."

Of course he remembered her. After her "pep talk" to him, what had she said echoed in his mind all afternoon and evening. Later, as he told his great grandmother the events that had transpired, he learned the lady's name and her status. The lady is Hisana and she became famous throughout the Rukon Districts cause, she a peasant had married into the Kuchiki clan. One of the great noble houses of Soul Society. It was unheard of and created a huge uproar throughout Soul Society.

Coming back his thoughts, Toshiro replied, "Yes. I remember you Lady Hisana. I apologize for my immature outburst from earlier."

Hisana waived her hand as if to brush off the incident.

"Don't worry about it. All's well that ends well." Her face became more serious.

"Toshiro, look. Hisana says and gestures around the room.

Toshiro looks and notices layers frost blanketed the entire house. As his eyes darted from object to object, he noticed someone was shivering. It was his great grandmother trying to stay warm.

His immediate thought was, "H-h-h how? When did it get cold in here?"

The Soul Reaper beside Hisana placed a hand on Toshiro's shoulder and said, "You have special powers. Powers that can be deadly if you don't learn how to control them. Had we not come earlier, your great grandmother could've gotten ill or worse."

"But how?" Toshiro protested. How could he even dare hurt his own family?

Byakuya calmed him down and said, "It's your powers. Even if it's not intentional you can hurt innocent people around you."

Toshiro still did not understand. Powers? What kind of powers? Does this have any connection to those ice dreams?

Hisana took one of Toshiro hands and gave him a reassuring look. "Don't worry. Like my husband said, we came just in time to wake you. You're a very strong boy and the only way to learn how to control your powers is attending the Spiritual Arts Academy."

The Spiritual Arts Academy? This was all too much to take in for Toshiro.

"Y-y-y you must go. You must listen to Lady Hisana and go." Toshiro turned around and saw that the voice came from his great grandmother.
