Snow Fall
Pain. That's what he could feel.
Scratch that. That's all he could he feel.
Hitsugaya ignored it, turning to slice another hollow, which was adjuchas-level. He was bloody. His head hurt, and he didn't see one of the arrancar run him through, before pulling their sword out of the shocked capitan's body, letting him fall to the ground.
"Taichou!" shouted Matsumoto, releasing Haineko, sicking it on the hollow that approached her capitan. "Retreat for now! Capitan down!"
The shinigami took heed of the warning, as they all sped away, running through a senkai gate opened by the twelfth division.
It was a joint mission that they were on. They were sent to wipe a small group of hollows, that was rumored to have a couple adjucas-level ones among them. This is why they sent Hitsugaya, commanding the mission between the 10th and 13th divisions.
But, there were more than they expected.
Snow Fall
Green eyes opened wearily as they stared up at a ceiling.
'Must be in the 4th division' thought Toushiro, moving to get up, only to realize his body was a lot lighter than normal.
"What the…?" Toushiro said, looking at his hands.
Then realized he could se his feet through them, then the floor through those.
…
…
…
"What in hell?" he said, trying to figure out happened. He was fighting some hollows, got run through an arrancar that came from no where, then blacked out.
Now, he looked down, only to become face to face with his body. "This normally happens when you're alive and your spirit comes out of the body…But I'm already dead….So my spirit has a spirit?"
The young capitan stopped his pondering when the door slid open and in walked Matsumoto, Ichigo, and, to his surprise, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia.
"You know, the kid's always been a terrifying site in battle. It's hard to see him like this, in a coma." Said Ichigo, staring at the kid.
"Taicho…yes, he was a terrifying site in battle, but also a glimmer of hope within it." Rangiku said, looking sadly at her capitan.
"What do you mean?" asked Rukia, looking away from the silent captian on the bed.
Smirking knowingly, her and Ichigao said, "We saw the way you looked at him, Rukia. Your eyes shone when appeared, but grew amazingly frightened when he was hurt by Grimm-ass."
At that, she blushed.
At this, Hitsugaya grew confused. Why would Rukia blush after they said that? Once again, he was broken out of his musings when the stotic capitan on the 6th division spoke. "He did what he could, and I too saw how you looked at him, Rukia. Hitsugaya-taicho, I know you can hear me. I wish for your recovery. I leave now." He said, not waiting for a reply from anyone.
Silence over came the three as Ichigo stood up. Stretching, the newly appointed 3rd division capitan said, "Well, Rukia, we'll leave you two be. Matsumoto, let's go."
Rangiku stood, said get well to her taicho's sleeping form, then followed her dead-for-several-years friend out of the 4th division.
Rukia didn't follow, but took a seat instead, gazing at the snowy capitan. She had felt a connection the first time she had met him, probably because both of their zanpaktou were ice-type, but she just threw that idea out when her zanpaktou said it wasn't that.
"You know…" she said, taking in the boy's features for a good long time. "You're a lot cuter when you're asleep."
From that moment onward after Rukia had left and Hitsugaya returned to his body, seiretei had something to talk about for a good long while…
Snow Fall
A/N: I couldn't really come up with anything for this, since there is very little interaction between the two and I've been working on 'The Entity''s chapter, so my mind is mainly focused on that.
You know the drill. But people, tell me what you want to see?
