It was another day at the Soul Society, the birds were chirping, the Squads were training and Toshiro Histugaya was stuck doing his Divisions paper work, cause his lieutenant was to lazy to even get off the couch.
"Rangiku…" Toshiro said as he took a quick glance away from the paper to his relaxing friend, "if you still want to continue your roll as my lieutenant than you have to pull you own weight and do you own paper work." Toshiro said as a vein popped on his forehead to show his annoyance.
"Oh, Captian you take life too seriously! You should really find some spare time to go to a spa..." Rangiku said dreamly as a long yawn followed shortly.
"I wish I even have spare time…" Toshiro said as he returned to his paper work knowing that his lieutenant wouldn't do the paper work even if it cost her, his life.
Rangiku suddenly got up and swiped the brush from Toshiro's hands "Why'd you do that for?" He asked enraged that he was about to finish the large stack of paper.
"You need a break, Captain. Who cares if the paper is late an hour or 2? Squad 11 never do their paper work and their all still alive!" Rangiku said as she took a hold of her Captain's little hand into her own and led him to the door.
"You just go out have some fun! Go talk to someone, get a drink…" Rangiku said as she was opening the door.
"I don't drink!" Toshiro said pissed that his lieutenant would think of drinking in the middle of the day.
"Well erase that and go and talk to Hyorinmaru! It's been ages since you've talked!" Rangiku said shoving her Captain out the door and slamming it shut.
"But we just talked last night…" Toshiro said as he slowly turned away from the door and walked down the hall to the gardens.
She's such a pain some times…. Toshiro thought going outside and sitting down on the grass placing his beloved sword on his lap.
I can tell, you really need her to do her own paper work. You're not getting enough sleep nowadays. Hyorinmaru responded as Toshiro entered his inner world.
It was just the same as ever, grand ice pillars, snow scattered about and the welcoming chill of the terrain. Toshiro took in a long breathe and let it out slowly. How he loved his inner world! It was his "Happy Place" it was the one place he could forget about all of the stress of the world and all the pain in it.
Your mind is wondering, Master. Hyorinmaru said as he materialized into his human form and frowned.
I guess I'm just thinking about the last couple of months. Aizen hasn't shown his filthy face since than and I guess….. Toshiro looked down as if wondering if his next words were rightly phrased. I guess I'm just uptight, wondering when he'll show his face and if… and if.. I'll be strong enough to... defend Momo… Toshrio finished as he's head hung in shame as the memories of his battle with Aizen flashed through his mind.
Hyorinmaru had told him to stay cool, and to not do anything rash, but he didn't listen and attacked head on with his Bankai. Hyorinmaru till this day was a little disappointed by the fact his wielder completely ignored him.
I'm sorry Hyorinmaru I should have listen to you that day and think first before I acted. Toshiro said as he began slowly to lift up his eyes to his closet friend.
Apology accepted. Hyorinmaru said as he smilied and as a reward Toshiro smiled, don't push yourself to do anything you don't want to do. You have a will and if your will is to defeat Aizen I will help you strive to that Master. I will always be there for you. Hyorinmaru said as he took Toshiro by the shoulder and hugged him lovingly, like a Father would do to his son when he is troubled.
Thank you Hyorinmaru you truly are my best friend… Toshiro said as he fell further into the hug letting his entire doubt and stress freeze away. (SEE what I did lolz)
Suddenly a loud annoying sound broke the partners away from each other.
I guess there's another ryuka in the Seireitei, I must go there will be a Captains meeting called not long from now. See you soon Hyorinmaru. Toshiro said as the snow drifted around him and as it settled he was gone from his inner world and back in the Seireitei. He grabbed his sword and Flash stepped to the Meeting Hall.
Take care, Master. Hyorinmaru said as he transformed into the great ice dragon again and slowly walked to the depths of the winter terrain. Hoping that his Master will be okay.
