Me: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Takara: HIIIIIIIII!
Me: I got a little chocked when I read the reviews... people was pissed at Toushiro 'cause he was angry at his mum.... I really didn't expect that XD
Takara: And you did something we didn't expect...
Me: I did?
Takara: AIHA!
Me: OOOOOOOOH! Thaaaaaaaaaat! I've known that for a long time now ^^
Takara: That's because you're the author...
Me: Oh...
"A-Aiha...?"
She smiled and waved at him. But her smile didn't look as kind as usual, it was mean and taunting. She waved at him.
"Well hello there, Shiro-cha- I mean Hitsugaya-taichou..." she said and laughed.
Mihsiro couldn't believe her eyes. Aiha? The woman that had been with her almost her whole life? The woman who was like a sister for her? It couldn't be her... it COULDN'T be her, taunting Toushiro, standing beside Aizen. It just couldn't!
"Aiha... Aiha, what are you doing?!" Mishiro screamed, shocked. Aiha tilted her head to the side and smirked at her.
"Well, hello there Mishiro! How are you? Sorry that I disappeared, but I had to visit my cousin for a while, hope you didn't mind"
Mishiro couldn't breathe... and neither could Toushiro. The fact that Aizen was holding the already tight necklace around his throat made it really hard to breathe. Toushiro tried to get rid of Aizen's hands, but it was futile. Aizen just chuckeled.
"What's this? You're not happy to see me, son?"
"Stop...calling me... that!" Toushiro growled through gritted teeth.
"Why? Shouldn't a father call his son 'son'?"
"You... Ngh!... Are NOT my father!"
Aizen chuckeled.
"Well, well... isn't he a little fiesty? You didn't raise him very well, my beloved Mishiro"
Mishiro didn't say anything, the shock was still too great. Aiha sighed.
"Aizen-sama, weren't we going to do it now?"
Aizen nodded.
"Yes, of course we are..." Aizen said. Right then, the alarm sounded and they could hear people running their way.
"Aiha..."
"Yes sir?"
"Take him..." Aizen said and put his index finger on Toushiro's forehead. He gasped and his eyes glazed over. Aizen threw him over to Aiha who catched him and nodded.
"Yes, sir. Are we leaving for Karakura right away?"
He nodded and waved his right hand. When he did, a portal opened behind them and they walked right through it.
Now Mishiro finally understood what they were doing. She threw herself at the bars, banging her fists at it.
"NO! LET GO OFF HIM! DON'T TAKE HIM! NOOOO!!!"
She sank to her knees, motionless. Seconds after, other squadmembers entered the prison and gasped at the huge hole in the wall. Some of them rushed over to her.
"Mishiro-yonseki (fourth seat Mishiro), what happened here? Are you all right?"
She didn't answer. Not until the cell door opened and she heard a familliar voice.
"Mishiro, how are you?!"
Mishiro looked up at Matsumoto's caring face. Her eyes were empty.
"Mishiro? Mishiro! Where's taichou?"
Mishiro opened her mouth a little.
"He... he..." she wheezed.
"He what?"
"Aizen... Aizen... took him..."
Everyone gasped.
"Aizen?! Where?! Where did he take him?!"
Mishiro was quiet a few seconds before she could remember.
"Karakura... they took him to Karakura..."
Matsumoto didn't have to think for long.
"Tell the other squad captains immideately! We will leave for Karakura and the rest will have to follow as soon as possible! Ask the 12th squad to locate them and contact Kurosaki Ichigo!"
"HAI!"
Matsumoto helped Mishiro to stand and handed her her Byakko.
"I'm gonna get HInamori as well, she has to know. You try to give him Hyorinmaru"
Mishiro nodded and picked up Hyorinmaru.
"Also... Mishiro, did he wear the necklace?"
Mishiro nodded again and Matsumoto paled.
"Then we have to work fast...."
Above Karakura
"Sigh, finally here..."
"Are you complaining, Aiha?"
"No, of course not! I'm just relieved that we're finally here, sir"
Toushiro groaned and opened his eyes. They had tied his hands and legs and he still wore the necklace... in other words, he was defenseless.
Aizen turned to him as he came to his senses.
"Ah, Toushiro. You're awake!"
Toushiro didn't answer. He looked around but didn't even flinch when he saw where they were.
"We're in Karakura..." It was a statement, not a question. Aizen chuckeled.
"Yes we are, we have to be here... otherwise it wouldn't work..."
Now Toushiro turned to Aizen, hatred filling his eyes to the brim.
"What wouldn't work... why have you even brought me here?"
"Well... when you were "created", you stole something from me... my powers ceased, and I need you to get them back"
"That's not true, you're not my father"
"Denial doesn't change the facts, Toushiro, remember that... and even if what you said was true, it would give me more power wither way"
"Stop calling me Toushiro! It's Hitsugaya-taichou to you, you bastard!"
Aizen smirked and made a move with his hand. Aiha immideately understood and threw Toushiro to him. Aizen grabbed the necklace again and pulled him upwards. Toushiro choked and tried to get away, but he couldn't.
"It doesn't matter what you say, son. I'm still going to call you by your first name... at least as long as I have to..."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"I mean that I'm going to take all of your powers Toushiro, they were mine from the beggining. Now I'm taking them back" Aizen said and put his right hand on Toushiro's chest. It started to glow and Toushiro started to scream. He could feel his powers and life energy slowly leave him.
"YOU! You BAS-TARD! GAKH! WAAH!!"
Aizen smirked when he screamed. Toushiro was slowly loosing conciousness, when suddenly...
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!"
Aizen shunpoed out of the way when the black blade cut though the air where he'd been seconds ago. But when he did, he accidently dropped Toushiro who wasn't able to stop his fall. He fell fast towards the ground and he prepared himself to get crushed. But he never was. Instead, someone caught him in the midair and shunpoed to the roof of one of the houses nearby.
Toushiro opened his eyes.
"Ku-Kurosaki?"
Ichigo grinned at him.
"Yo! D'you need some help?"
Toushiro didn't want to admit it, but he did. He did need help... yes, from Kurosaki.
"Actually... yes, I do... can you... take this necklace... off?"
He was exhausted. His powers were sealed by the necklace, if it was destroyed, then he'd probably gain more energy.
Ichigo was taken aback by how quiet and... fragile Toushiro sounded and how honest he was.
'He's not fine, that's for sure...'
"Uhm, sure... how do I do that?"
Toushiro sighed.
"You're one of the... most... destructive shinigamis ever... think of... something... You have a zanpakutou, you have... your reiatsu... use them..."
Ichigo thought for a while.
"But won't you get hurt if I use Getsuga Tensh..?"
"NOT THAT YOU STUPID!... just... think of something... and fast, he's coming..."
Ichigo glanced over his shoulder and gasped. Toushiro was right, he was coming at them... at a very high speed.
"Damn..." Ichigo cursed under his breath and shunpoed away. When he stopped, he knew that he wouldn't have much time. Aizen would come at them again any second and Toushiro couldn't even braethe normally any longer. He gasped for air and he was sweating. Ichigo couldn't think of anything better to do than simply taking hold of the necklace and pull it hard in different directions with his hands. At the same time, he used a whole lot of reiatsu without knowing it. He roared and pulled harder. Toushiro had closed his eyes and was slowly turning paler and paler...
*CRACK!*
The necklace broke with a crack and Ichigo yelled in surprise when the air around them turned colder and a huge amount of reiatsu was released and destrouyed the ropes that tied Toushiro's hands and feet. He opened his teal, now glowing, eyes and took a deep breath. After a second or two, the reiatsu fainted and Toushiro's eyes stopped glowing.
"Put me down, Kurosaki..."
"What?"
"I said put me down"
"Uhm... sure..."
Toushiro flexed his fingers and stretched out his arms. He turned to Aizen and crouched in a fighting position. Ichigo looked around a little and seemed to be missing something.
"Yo, Toushiro..."
"Hitsugaya-taichou"
"Where's your zanpakutou?"
Toushiro flinched. He didn't have Hyorinmaru. He didn't have his important companion who always helped him out in situations when he didn't know what to do himself.
"It's in the soul society..."
"What?! Then how are you supposed to fight?!"
"I'll think of something until Matsumoto or Mishiro get here with Hyorinmaru"
"Mishiro?"
"We don't have the time for questions, she's my fourth seat..."
Ichigo nodded and turned his focus to Aizen and the strange woman beside him.
"Toushiro?"
"Hitsugaya-taichou!"
"Who's the chick?"
"Doujin Aiha... a traitor and Aizen's cousin"
Ichigo flinched.
"His cousin? Seriously?"
"Yes..."
Aizen chuckeled.
"Are you done talking now, son? I'm not done yet and you can't do anything unless you get your zanpakutou. Unless, of course, you want to keep him out of any danger. If he'd come here, I'd just have to suck his power out as well"
Toushiro narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not gonna let you do anything to him!"
Aizen laughed.
"As if you can do anything about it..."
"Oh, I will... Hado #31, SHAKKAHOU!"
A huge ball of fire emerged from his hands and it looked like it hit its' goal. The building behind it exploded and a could of dust made it impossible to see anything. But Toushiro used his senses to find Aizen's reiatsu. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
'THERE HE IS! Bakudo #63 Sajou Sabaku!'
There was a gasp and Toushiro looked around.
'Did I get him?'
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the cloud of dust, grabbed his throat and pressed him up on the wall a few meters behind him. Toushiro gasped and the hand squeezed. He clawed at the hand, but it was once again futile.
"Heheheh, I got you son..."
Me: THERE YOU GO! Sorry that it came up late... but I had a writer's block and school...
Takara: WHAT'S WITH YOU AND CLIFFIES?!
Me:... I like them
