Disclaimer: The usual.


There are very few things that are capable of bringing Hitsugaya Toushirou to his knees. In most cases, it will take a Herculean effort, surpassing skill, and a determination that can defeat the sturdy implacability of his own.

The sight of Hinamori, however, bleeding and broken on the floor, sends his heart hurtling out of his chest within scant seconds.

He is going to kill him. Even before he articulates those words to Aizen, he knows it. The unspeakable rage diffuses to every cell in his body as he stares down at his childhood friend. How could he? How could he crush someone who had such obvious admiration and respect for him? How could he deceive them all, especially her, who believed in him the most? How could he do… this to her, she who had such fiery courage and strength in body, but yet at heart, was as fragile as a bird's wings?

Jade eyes narrow onto the bespectacled man, his ire rising. How could he break her like this?

Hitsugaya rips out his Bankai, too angry to even think. It tears through him, because he, of all people, knows that she would have flown.

She will yet again, he promises himself as he crashes forward, the bastard's placidly smiling face the only thing in his line of vision. She will.


A/N: Fwee.
