Theme song: Hanging by a moment By: Lifehouse

TOSHIRO HITSUGAYA CAPTAIN OF TENTH COMPANY WHITE HAIRED PRODIGY OF THE SOUL SOCIETY POV.

It's been exactly thirty years since Kurenai left…he thought to himself as he the did paper work in the office that had once belonged to his only love… "Captain!" a musical voice called as the door swung open revealing a drunk Matsumoto.

"What do you want Matsumoto!?" he shouted enraged.

"I-I *hic* just wanted to tell ya *hic* how much I like you lil'Shiro. You have pretty eyes cap-!" she began when Toshiro remembered that trick Kurenai used…

"Hey Matsumoto! I heard that Ikkaku said that he could beat you in a drinking contest!" her eyes widened as they had twenty nine years ago as she went lumbering out the door looking for Ikkaku… "Some things never change…" he muttered as he continued on with his paper work…30 years…

and he's still waiting…

KURENAI URAHARA'S POV.

Then there was Toshiro…he had mastered bankai the day before I left so he should be captain by now…I missed him…the next night I woke up to a familiar pair of cat eyes staring at me…

"What do you want Yoruichi?" I moaned, her black fur blended in with the night so I could only see her vibrant glowing golden eyes, she let out a sigh.

"What are you doing here?" she asked transforming back to human form, as I sat up and said with a puff of breath.

"I don't know…you tell me…" I said dismissively,

"What do Kurai and Awai tell you to do?" she asked…so she didn't know…I turned away avoiding her gaze.

I said, "Oh…them…I don't know where they are…there old enough to decide for them selves…" she was quiet for a second when a sudden force hit the back of my head.

"Kurenai YOU IDIOT!" she shouted, I didn't understand, she went on.

"Your going to find them right NOW! And apologize!" I still didn't understand.

"W-Why?!" I slurred, "You don't have a zanpaku-to either!" I pointed out, she slapped her forehead and shook her head.

"Kurenai you idiot…" she muttered, "A zanpaku-to is a part of your soul! You can't just cast it aside! How do you think they feel!? How could you-!" she was glaring at me as her words sunk them selves into my brain.

"They've always been there for you! Now you just leave them simply thinking you don't need them! Or thinking your better then them!" She was right…it's just like with Kaien…I've been taking advantage of them…but it may not be too late…

"Y-Your right…! GEEZ! I'm an idiot!" I-I'm sorry… "Thanks Yoruichi…" well now I have something to do! I had to find them! KURAI! AWAI! I shouted with no reply…I had to find them! Karakura town! I'd have to start there…it had now been five days searching for them with not a clue…I suddenly felt a horribly familiar spiritual pressure…I slowly turned around…and saw…

"My my well! Hasn't it been awhile…never thought I'd see ya again!" Gin…What the hell was he doing here!?

"Get out of the way I don't have time to deal with your crap Gin!" I shouted, his smile didn't falter.

"Just as impatient as always…" he patronized me.

"Shudup! Ya fox-faced-freak! I TOLD'CHA! I DON'T HAVE TIME!" I shouted angrily.

He made a tsk-tsk sound with his tongue and said, "Unfortunately for you you're a ryoka now…" he held up his sword as I just barely dodged it. DAMN IT! Shit, shit, shit! I flash stepped a good three blocks but he was right behind me.

"Your fast…I don't believe that wasn't shunpo, isn't that what the hollow's call…Sonido?" I cursed him under my breath as one of his attacks finally reached me piercing my shoulder…guess I had no choice…I hollowfied and attacked him with a cero, I had to finish this quickly, HE BLOCKED A CERO WITH HIS SWORD?!

"You shouldn't underestimate a captain!" he warned he took advantage of my shock and attacked again! Again striking my right arm causing it to go numb…I tried moving my fingers they wouldn't…

"Damn you GIN!" I shouted using a Hado to distract him for just a second that was all I needed as I went for my zanpaku-to…that's when I remembered I didn't have it! How convenient! He continued to beat me up as I struggled uselessly…I was finally captured as I lay on the ground my vision fading… "Tsk-tsk oh my…guess it ends here for ya…" Gin's voice said his sword was about to deal the final strike when a clang of metal reached my ears… Everything blacked out the last thing I heard was…

"I don't know who you are but I won't allow you to kill her!"
