Chapter 2: Tell Me

"How can they be my parents when they're the ones who killed me?"

Everyone stared at Hitsugaya, shocked at what he'd just said. Some of them shivered, but not from the cold. The way he had said it, cold, calculating and deadly, was enough to send shivers down their spines.

"How can you say that, Toushirou?" cried Renhana, bursting into tears. "I was heartbroken when you died."

"Don't you dare lie to me!" snapped Hitsugaya. "Do you think I'm that stupid! I saw what you were doing after I died! Don't you dare tell me that you were heartbroken when you were doing that!"

"What do you mean? Your mother loves you more than anything!" cried Getsushirou, red in the face. He looked about ready to hit him.

"Shut up! You're lying!"

"Toushirou!"

"Stop calling me that!"

"Listen to me!"

"Just SHUT UP!"

The wind howled as Hitsugaya screamed, making the Shinigami in the room shield their faces from the freezing gust of air. He spun around to face Getsushirou and Renhana.

"I hate you! I hate you as much as I hate Aizen! I'll hate you till I die! I'll hate you even after I've been reborn! I'll hate you forever!"

With that, Hitsugaya stormed out of the room, leaving behind a worried vice-captain confused Shinigami, a hysterical woman and a red-faced man. But he didn't care. He couldn't take it anymore. He wanted the voices to stop. He didn't want them to see him like this. He didn't want them to see him looking like the child he was.

Hitsugaya didn't want them to see the tears in his eyes.

After Hitsugaya left, the whole room as thrown into chaos. Matsumoto stared at the door, where her captain had stormed through not long ago. She was worried. It wasn't like him to lose his temper in public. It also wasn't like him to openly declare his hatred for anyone except Aizen.

Renhana was in hysterics, her husband comforting her. 'What is it that taichou hates so much about them?' thought Matsumoto. She wanted to follow Hitsugaya, but she knew he most likely wanted to be left alone for now. Yamamoto sou-taichou decided he had had enough of the ruckus being made.

"Everyone, calm down. There is no need for alarm," he said, banging his staff on the ground. "We will excuse Hitsugaya-taichou for today. We shall continue with the meeting at once."

After that, the meeting resumed with a calm air. But even as Yamamoto sou-taichou was discussing important matters, Matsumoto couldn't pay attention at all. She stared blankly at the empty space in front of her where Hitsugaya was supposed to stand. It felt strange not being able to see her captain's back in front of her, paying attention as he always did.

When Yamamoto sou-taichou announced the meeting had come to its end, Matsumoto was the first out of the room. She had to find her captain. She needed to know he was alright. She wanted to make sure of it. She wanted to know why her captain hated his parents so much.

"Okaasama, look at these flowers!"

A little boy of six handed a small bunch of flowers he had picked from the field to his mother. She took them from his tiny hands and sniffed them. She smiled at him.

"Thank you, Shirou-chan! That's so kind of you."

"I picked them just for you, Okaasama!"

"It's too bad…"

"Okaasama?"

"That you have to die."

The boy was no longer in the backyard of his house. His mother was no longer there. It was no longer warm. He was in the middle of nowhere. There was nobody there. And it was cold. Very cold.

Hitsugaya woke up in a cold sweat, his breath coming out in hoarse gasps. Looking around, he saw that he was still on the roof of his office. He sighed. 'Just another nightmare.' He hadn't had a nightmare in quite a long time.

"Taichou! There you are!" Hitsugaya almost fell off the roof when Matsumoto appeared beside him.

"Taichou, are you alright? That was quite an outburst back there," said Matsumoto worriedly. Hitsugaya didn't look at her.

"What did Yamamoto sou-taichou say?" He couldn't bring himself to look at her. Not yet.

"He didn't say anything about it."

Silence fell.

"Taichou, look at me."

More silence. But Matsumoto wasn't going to take that as an answer. Grabbing Hitsugaya's shoulder, she spun him around to face her. She frowned when she saw his face, concern clearly written on her face. She stated simply. "You've been crying, haven't you?"

"No." But his eyes told a different story. They were red and swollen from all the tears they had shed.

"Taichou, please tell me what's wrong. Why do you hate them so much?"

"It's not something for you to worry about."

"It is when you lose your temper in public."

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing when you say you hate your parents as much as you hate Aizen."

The roof tiles looked very interesting at that moment.

"Taichou, I'm begging you. Tell me what's wrong."

"Will you please let go of me?"

"Not until you tell me what's wrong."

Hitsugaya sighed and steeled himself. He didn't want to do this at the moment. Nor did he want the concern Matsumoto was showing to him. But he knew she wouldn't give up or stop worrying until he told her what was wrong.

"This is going to be a long story."

"I'm a patient listener when I want to be."

'Looks like there's no way out of this.'

"Fine. I'll tell you."

Okay, I'm stopping here. I don't want my chapters to be to long incase you guys get bored from having to read something long. The next chapter should be up soon. I was planning on only writing one chapter on Hitsugaya's past, but then it'll be too long. Anyway, tell me what you think. Was it good, or was it disappointing? Review and tell me. It only takes a press of the little purple button at the bottom left corner of the screen. Please and thank you! Bye!
