The Past and the Future
Summary – Isshin Shiba had told his 3rd seat Toshiro Hitsugaya that no matter what happens he will always be at his side. That all changed when he fell in loved with Masaki Kurosaki. One day when Captain Hitsugaya was on a mission in Karakura town he bumped into Isshin with one of the twins. That's when another promise was made between the two men.
50 years ago
Shiro you need to loosen up unless you want to grow old like old man Yamamoto, teased Isshin Toshiro while ruffling his white hair. Wha…! NO I don't captain! And stop calling me Shiro it's annoying and I'm not a kid. He glared at his idiot captain who had a goofy smile until he became serious. Toshiro I want tell you something very important and you can't tell anyone else, understand? Toshiro just looked at his captain shocked because it's very rare to see his captain become serious at all. Hai, I understand. Alright, let's see how I'm going to say this to you without making you freak out. Um… well I'm in love with this human woman that is a quincy and I am thinking of leaving seireitei behind to be with her. That doesn't mean that I will be leaving squad 10 in the hands of Rangiku, even though I know she will do her best with keeping the squad in check, but she isn't ready. She doesn't even have bankai and she needs to have bankai to be captain. What I'm trying to say is that you, Toshiro Hitsugaya will be next captain of squad 10 in a few weeks. I know this might seem stupid and ridiculous but I'm in love with her and I can't let her go, she is my other half. You will understand all of this when your in love. We both know that Rangiku will never do any paperwork, but she will always be at your side whenever you need her to. She will have your back when you two are battling together and she will ALWAYS treat you as a kid because she thinks of you as a son not a subordinate. You will always have that strong bond with her because of the history you two share and the reason why you're a shinigami in the first place. You have bankai, plus the strongest ice-type zanpakuto. You are more fit for this position than anyone else I can think of. When the day comes that I choose to leave I will would be forced to either retire or be stripped of my reiatsu or even exiled. I need you to understand what is going to happen once I leave. I need you to perfect your bankai in 100 years. I know that you have bankai but you don't have full potential to obtain it. It took a lot of captains years to perfect their bankai, but you might take shorter time. It will be frustrating for you because Hyorinmaru is the strongest ice zanpakuto to handle and your still young. To him your too young to achieve his full potential, but he chose you so don't forget that. Hyorinmaru could of chose someone else who might have a better chance of achieving his bankai, but didn't he chose you for a reason and a reason he will eventually tell you.
