A/N: *is not frozen anymore* CHAPTER SIX IS UP, WUUUUTTTT! This is the first time I could ever type a fanfic this fast before mostly is because another fan fic has made me rethink of everything I had typed on it and began to rewrite them all like crazy. Again. *sighs* so I'm stuck with this and the other one, which I am not going to continue because it held bad memories.

Anyway, feel free to review and all you wanna do except stealing my idea or um… well… there's no idea to steal anyway xD

Toushirou; The kid died… What's with you all and killing prodigies? I know I have said this but this… I just realize that we, prodigies, are human beings and should not be killed in an undignified matter.

Ichigo: I got to agree with Toushirou with this one.

Toushirou; It's Captain Hitsugaya!

Ed: Will you two stop with that? It's tiresome to hear!

Roy: she doesn't own any of us, we are owned by our respected authors.

Ed: *glares at Roy darkly* damn right she don't. But she killed me.

Rukia: Welcome to Soul Society Edward! *grins*

Ed: I don't know if I should be happy or be depressed… maybe both…?

Byakuya: …

*silenced them all by blowing a war horn* SILENCE!

And on with the show!

ICHIGO'S P.O.V

When I woke up, I groaned in pain and held my head. It's like I got hit by a car or something. I sit up and look around, immediately knowing that I was in the 4th division. How long was I out anyway? That's what came first in my mind.

'Ichigo, you are finally awake." I heard Zangetsu said, but what I am confused is that he sound so close and not inside my head. I looked at my right and saw the two.

"Zangetsu?" I asked with a surprised look on my face when I saw the old man and the white demon sitting on one of the beds.

"Oh no he's Santa Claus." Shirosaki said sarcastically, making Zangetsu roll his eyes and walked towards me holding a tray of food.

"Are you feeling okay?" he asked to me, which I nodded in response and took the food, and began to dig in after thanking him.

"What about Toushirou? Is he okay?" I asked to them, which Shirosaki scoffed and Zangetsu sigh.

"I guess he wasn't really prepared to materialize Hyourinmaru just yet, that's why I ask Hyourinmaru for forgiveness. He knew and I should have listen to him… he always knew what's right for his master. but I think he's going to wake up soon." He said with a faint smile on his face, which made me confused.

"You always speak to Hyourinmaru as if you were best friends or lovers. Are you two…?"

That made Shirosaki laugh so hard he was rolling around the ground laughing while Zangetsu glared at me with a small blush on his face.

"We are friends, not lovers. You and your mind… that cat woman's rubbing on you."

I grinned a bit forcefully while I prayed that Zangetsu could take it back. I don't want to be compared to that were cat.

"So, what are we going to do now? And how long was I out?"

"3 days, 1 hour, 30 minutes and 18 seconds." Shirosaki replied, making me roll my eyes.

"Have you been counting how long I was out? Are you really that bored?"

"Pfft, no way in hell. I'm actually counting because that captain said if you don't wake up in 5 days, I can have your body."

"Enough, both of you. This is serious and you two are bickering around." Zangetsu scolded us as if we were children fighting for a toy, making us glare at him darkly, but he didn't seem to be bothered by it.

"He's right you know." A familiar voice said behind me and I immediately spun around to see Toushirou standing on the doorway, his permanent frown on his face with Hyourinmaru behind him. "By the way, Kurosaki, you have visitors outside your room."

"Don't let them get in here just yet. We have to talk." Zangetsu said in a serious tone, making Toushirou nod and let Hyourinmaru close the door.

"Before we could start, tell us what really is happening. You can't just expect us all to follow blindly with you." Toushirou said in a look that says 'don't-shit-with-me' or that's what I could explain.

"It's not like you shinigamis know our pain." Shirosaki said, making Toushirou glare at him. "These zanpakutous are sensitive with their past, and if you really care then let them explain when its time."

"Like we aren't sensitive with our own past.' I snapped at him, making teal eyes look at me with wide, surprised look. "We all are sensitive with our past, but only strong people can talk to the past as if it was just the past!"

"You don't get it do you?! We lost our friend forever because of our mistake!" Hyourinmaru yelled, making me look at him. "We… lost him… I lost him… it's my fault that he died… and never going to come back…"

"You're lying again, Hyourinmaru." Zangetsu growled as he stood up and glared at the other zanpakutou.

"It's true, you idiot. He's gone. He's. Gone."

"HE'S NOT DEAD YOU-!"

"SHUT UP!" Toushirou yelled.

Both of them shut their mouths as they glared at each other.

I heard Toushirou sigh as he rubs his head like he's going to have a headache and said in a commanding tone "You two are not children anymore; you two should stop your bickering and shut up. Now… since you zanpakutous don't want to talk to us about your past, I have to go to my office to do my paperwork. God knows how many piles are in there. I'll see you all soon enough. Hyourinmaru, you stay here and help Kurosaki on what he needs or guard him for all I care. Kurosaki, if you dare do something stupid again I will freeze you myself. And you, hollow, make sure these three doesn't go anywhere that could injure them all. Am I understood?"

That's our cue to argue at the order (not like I have a choice, my hollow should not be trusted!)

"Master, how come you put such authority to him—"

"Toushirou, Shirosaki is not to be trusted—"

"We are not children anymore, you said so yourself—"

"Am I understood?"

The three of us grumbled in affirmative while my hollow just smirk at us and was trying not to laugh. Seriously, Toushirou can be scary when he wants to. Speaking of him, I blinked when I saw that he was not in the room anymore, and I knew that he shunpoed off towards his office and I hope that Rangiku-san isn't near the office at this time.

We stare at the door for the full 2 minutes, silence was all I could hear (wait we can hear silence?) until Zangetsu broke it "So… what are we going to do?"

"Follow what master had said, of course. I trust you could do that, could you Zangetsu?"

And then they began to bicker again, making me sigh and walked out of the room to greet my visitors, which I'm not surprised that Rukia, Inoue, Chad, and Ishida are my visitors. Before I could say something to them, someone punched me at the face.

"OW! What the hell, Rukia!" I yelled at her with a glare. She glared back.

"You idiot! You made us worry like hell and almost gave Chad and Orihime a heart attack! Could you just stay away from trouble for just a second so we can relax for a bit?" she yelled (more like scolded me like a mother hen) so loud I wouldn't be surprised that I've gone deaf. But I wasn't deaf, surprisingly.

"Gee, I didn't know you care so much about me." I said sarcastically as I rubbed the part of my face that got punched by her.

"Of course! Who wouldn't miss an orange haired idiot who is my nakama?"

"Well…"

"You idiot." I smiled. She smiled. Everyone smiled. That is, until I noticed someone wasn't here to see me.

"Where's Renji?"

"He's got a mission. It seems that the shinigami on the other world has reported something unusual and he and nii-sama is going to go talk to them in person."

"Wha—"

"It means they're off to go to another world, idiot." Ishida said, rearranging his glasses.

"WHY YOU—"

"You two should not yell in here, there are resting sick soldiers that needs medication and rest." Hyourinmaru said calmly, making Uryuu and Rukia look at him with wide eyes.

"Woops, I almost forgot to tell you that Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu are materialized."

"Whoa, that's so cool!" Inoue said as she and the others stare at Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu—who walked out of my room because of a certain hollow—at awe, making them sweat drop a bit until someone yelled:

"Don't forget about me, King! Remember what Captain Hitsugaya said, I'm in charge~"

The three of us groaned in annoyance while my nakamas stare at us confused, and wondered why the captain would pick him. We wondered the same thing as well, sometimes, but I know that Shirosaki is a reasonable man if respected. And I know captain respects him. I kinda feel jealous at that thought.

"Anyway, come inside. I heard Captain Unohana coming this way." Hyourinmaru said, and as quick as lighting we came inside so that we won't disappoint Captain Unohana. But seeing the fearful look on my friend's face makes me doubt that and I couldn't help but smile. They're really are something.

"So… 3 days ago… why were you screaming like a madman, Ichigo? People had been worried sick after that."

I glared at Shirosaki, who whistled innocently and had a small grin on his face.

"Well, to get Toushirou's attention…"

And with that, I explained the event that had happened 2 days ago. Except the part where I dreamt of something before I had gone to Soul Society. Why I came to find Toushirou, and what Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu had been hiding.

I saw Zangetsu frown and looked out at the window, and sigh mentally.

Shinjitsu, huh…? I wonder who held such a powerful zanpakutou…

And who's Suchirurozu…? And what relation does she have with Hyourinmaru?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IchiHitsu and RoyEd are my OTP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALPHONSE'S P.O.V (for everyone to know what happened when Al saw Ed's body the first time)

I stared in shock as I saw brother in Havoc's arms when he and the colonel came back (Captain Kuchiki left to deal with the other hollows with his lieutenant), covered in blood and have a huge hole on his chest, like his heart has been ripped apart.

No… it can't be… It's impossible… NO!

I slowly walked to him, and just like that I fell on my knees and began to shake, a sob coming out. I covered my eyes and for the first time in 4 years, I broke down and cried like there's no tomorrow.

I can't believe on what I have seen. No, I don't believe it! My brother can't be dead! He can't! He's my brother, Edward Elric! He's… he's…

"Al…?"

See? It was just a dream, a dream… that's not real, what Havoc has been holding is nothing but a fake, brother had made it… he's here with me!

"Al?!"

I can still hear his voice, which means he's alive. He's alive and well! They're playing a trick to me... it's not funny…

"Al…"

His voice came out like a whisper, and I could only sob harder. Looking up I saw my brother, but the dead body on Havoc's arms and the chain…. only broke me again. Seeing the chain on my brother's chest, it was unbearable for me. I knew what it means; I had been studying it ever since I saw mom's when she died and when I saw many more souls when I was just a kid. I knew that if the chain is cut, they're dead. I knew that, I saw it in my very eyes when my mother died. But… but why does it hurt so much when I saw it on my brother's…?

I already knew the answer to that.

"It's not your fault, Al…"

I looked up and see my brother's gentle smile, the ones I always longed when I am sad, and I couldn't help but stare. How brother could be beautiful, I wouldn't know. He was always like this. Beautiful yet deadly at the same time. It's like he's both a rose, a beautiful gentle flower and when you tried to greedily grab it out you bleed, and metal, a needed element... and many more…

But now it's gone. I can't reach it anymore. I can't…

"Al… listen to me."

"No…"

"Stop being a child and listen, Al."

I shook my head and looks down. That is until brother smack my head, making me and the two occupants in the room look at him with a surprised look on our faces. Well, their faces.

"Alphonse Elric! Stop blaming yourself for Gate sake! It wasn't your damn fault! Besides, I'm glad that you're okay and well."

"But… I didn't tell you that I'm a…"

"Shinigami? Well, I wouldn't believe you either way. I can't see ghost like you do."

I couldn't help but smile mentally at my brother's stubbornness. But knowing that he didn't turn into a hollow and sensing a bit of reiatsu in him, maybe I will still see him. Then we can protect innocent souls together. Speaking of stubbornness…

"Brother…?"

"Yeah?"

"You… colonel, how did you manage to get brother to let you carry him?"

"SHIT!"

OMAKE

Ichigo: *watches from afar* shit indeed. *smirks*

Shirosaki: Yo, King! Whatcha doing there?! Get your ass on the bed and stay there!

Ichigo: Or what?!

Or I'll make you two kiss each other! Or sex!

Ichigo&Shirosaki: … WHAT?!
