"MATSUMOTO!"

Said person leaped backwards in terror as frost spread across the floor.

"What in the world were you thinking?!" Snapped Hitsugaya, in undisguised fury as he rounded on his shivering Lieutenant. Toshiro wanted to freeze her sooo badly, he almost felt his hand go to his zankupato. Why was this woman so infuriating!

Matsumoto chuckled nervously, and her blue/grey eyes looked at everything but her tachio, while slowly backing away to the door. "Well, you see...Renji thought it would be a good idea to take a, um break since he was working so hard..." Rangiku's sentenced trailed off as she looked into her tachio's furious and disbelieving gaze.

Immediately seeing that excuses wouldn't work, Rangiku rushed over to her captain and started showering fake tears over his head. "IT WASN"T MY FAULT! She cried almost falling over as her captain stepped to avoid her (fake) tears.

"I was doing paperwork like you told me to and Renji practically dragged me out with him!"

The other tenth division members outside winced as the temperature dove dramatically low and they hurried on with their business.

"I was FORCED TO GOOOO!-"

"Matsumoto."

The bust woman looked down at her small tachio and froze. His face was shadowed and he shook with anger. But...his voice was icy calm and cut through Rangiku's rant, stopping the Lieutenant in her tracks.

"That doesn't explain why..."

Matsumoto gulped.

"You got drunk..."

She gulped again.

"Why you injured several shinigami..."

She opened her mouth in protest.

'Why you destroyed a whole section of the Seireitei..."

She abruptly closed it.

"Why you tried to seduce Kuchiki-tachio..."

She flushed in embarrassment.

"And you still haven't finished the paperwork I specifically told you to fini-mffff?! Masfmuto!"

The busty shinigami laughed, which didn't help the rather short captain, who was struggling to breath within Matsumoto's embrace.

"You're so stiff tachio! You need to relax! Have some fun and find yourself a pretty girl! How 'bout Hinamori-chan? Ne, tachio?"

"Matsumoto!"

The door slid open as a rather pale shinigama with brown hair bowed. "The Head Captain requests the presence of the Tenth Division Captain, Hitsugaya Toshiro." The shinigami waited patiently for the white-haired captain to compose himself.

Toshiro shook his head and responded with a sharp nod. "Thank you. I'll be there shortly. You may leave now."

With his duty fulfilled the shingami bowed again and slid the door closed with a soft thump.

Toshiro glared at his fukutachio who had been trying to escape out the window during the other shinigama's arrival.

"Matsumoto. Just do your work for once."

The far-too busty woman turned around slowly and her eyes widened when a huge stack of papers slammed into her face, knocking her over to the ground. Hitsugaya walked stiffly out of the room, rubbing his hands across his head in frustration. He slammed the door and willed it to freeze over, only satisfied when even the hinges were frozen tight.

Agh! Why me?

Matsumoto who had been lying on the ground in pretend faint slowly glanced up in disbelief. The fukutachio couldn't believe it! Not only had she gotten away from her tachio, but also she had escaped from punishment.

"YES!" She yelled while rubbing her hands together in a villain like fashion. "Now I can go and party-"

The fukutachio stopped and stared at the ice-covered door in front of her. She then glanced down at the white papers that had been thrown at her only moments ago.

Her eyes widened.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Captain Hitsugaya walked calmly away from his screaming Lieutaniant, before flash stepping the rest of the way to Division one.

Toshiro stood before the Head Captain, ignoring the stiffiling presence of the elder's reiatsu.

"How is this possible?"

The Head Captain glanced at the small shinigami in front of him. "We are not sure, but the reitsu is nothing we've ever seen before."

Toshiro frowned, deep in though before looking back up at his superior. "I suppose you want me to investigate?"

"Yes, an unknown reiatsu so soon after the winter war is troubling..."

Dark thoughts went through both shinigami's minds. Toshiro's fist flexed uncomfortably as a certain scar throbbed. The meer mention of that dreaded event caused pain-filled emotions to flash through his head. If he was trembling he did not notice, for a red haze of of indescribable hatred serged through him.

That man. The sole cause of the Winter War. And the man who had tricked everyone. Who tricked Momo. Who tricked him. Toshiro remembered the feel of his sword sliding through flesh. And then her eyes. Those brown eyes which were supposed to be filled with happines and energy. They were filled with betrayal and asked the same question over and over again. Why? Why? Why? Why?

He had failed. Broken his promise. Had failed utterly and completely.

It was all my fault.

Master Stop.

I am weak.

Toshiro. Stop!

Weak.

STOP!

The roar of his normally subtle zanpakto whisked away the red haze and brought Toshiro from his guilt-filled thoughts.

"Control your reiatsu!"

Toshiro blinked at the Head Captain's words and hurridly reined his frosty reiatsu back until the room's temperature had considerably warmed.

"As a captain, I expect you to control your power." The Head Captain spoke calmly, cracking his closed eyes open to peer at the normally level-headed captain.

The white-haired captain lowered his eyes under the harsh gaze, before apoligizing with a low bow.

"Forgive me. It will not happen again." he swore, although the lingering feeling of hatred had yet to disapear.

"The mission...do you think...it has anything to do with Aizen?", Toshiro asked, his gritted teeth and clenched fists signaling he was still wrestling with his feelings.

"We can't jump to conclusions, Captain Hitsugaya. Although I am worried. For now I want you to look around and merely gather what you can find. If possible, capture this unkown creature."

"Yes sir."

"You can recieve all the information the stealth squad has collected so far from my lieutaniant when you leave." The Head Captain added. And dismissed Hitsugaya with a tap from his wooden cane.

The elder shinigami watched as the young tachio left and sighed. I worry about him. One so young should not have those eyes.

He is strong. Do not worry.

Yes, however this new reiatsu...

It is troubling.

...it is indeed troubling. I have a bad feeling.

There is nothing we can do.

For now we wait.

Yeah! Another chapter! Hope you guys like it!
