Rain was determined to make sure toushiro stayed alive. If theese girls were going to kill him, she would not ever let that happen!
Rain panted at how much doragon teishu was waying on her body. She hadn't even started fighting yet!
"Oh? Whats this? already out of breath from fear?" the red one snickered out at her.
"Shut up! i have no reason to be scared of you!" Rain yelled. But then she hung her head and began breathing heavier.
"Rain?! Are you alright?" Ichigo said to her.
"I'm fine! Leave me be!" Rain snapped as she took a deep breathe. she grabbed her zanpaktou and held it infront of her. "Come! I'll show you what your leader...." Rain said as she swung her zanpaktou to the side. "HAS DONE TO TOUSHIRO!!!" She screamed as her eye's turned teal.
"What the...!?" The blue woman said as she put her arms in front of her to block rain from her view.
"Hell is she?!" The red woman said as she held her sword infront of her, ready to attack.
"Painful Eye's!" Rain said as she held her zanpaktou out sideways. "Painful Mind!" Rain said as she held it above her head. "Painful heart! torture, Doragon teishu!!" Rain yelled as she swung her zanpaktou down causing a huge fire dragon to fly out of it. It charged at them.
"Thats not going to work!" The red woman yelled as she used her fire to try and counter it. It failed, it only added to the fire dragon. "What?!" She yelled as it charged at her.
"Devour!!!" Rain yelled with rage. But before the dragon reached them they disappeared. Rain called back the fire dragon and bit her lip. "Tch! Damn cowards." rain growled as she turned off her bankai. Everything began swirling.
"Rain? Are you alright? Rain!" Ichigo asked as he caught her as she fell.
Toushiro started to head after the woman.
"Toushiro!" Ichigo called to him.
Toushiro looked at him then at rain. He then used shunpo and disappeared. Ichigo looked down at rain. Then he got dizzy. he set rain down and sat next to her. then he passed out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Get ahold of yourself ichigo!" A voice called. "Ichigo!" It called again. Ichigo started to open his eye's.
"How pathetic. i'll resuscitate him..." Renji said as he breathed on his hand and then punched ichigo right in the face.
Ichigo jumped up. "OW! What was that for you jackass?!" ichigo yelled in rage at renji.
"Your the one who was passed out all this time!" Renji yelled back.
"What!?" Ichigo yelled.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!!" Rain yelled at them.
Renji and ichigo stopped immeditatly and apologized.
"Ichigo, what happened?" Rukia asked.
Ichigo looked at her and then looked around. "Shit." He said as he covered his face with his hand. "how long was i out for? where'd toushiro go?" Ichigo said as he rubbed his head.
Rain looked down at her hands and looked to the side.
"Toushiro...?" Renji asked.
"You met captain hitsugaya?" Rukia said in surprise.
"When? where was he?" Renji asked getting worried.
"Renji, calm down for one, you sound like a mother worried sick about her child. Two.." Rain said as she stood up and stretched. "We don't know where he went except that he's after a person named kusaka." Rain said seriously.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day ichigo, rukia, rain and renji where in ichigo's room talking.
Ichigo held up toushiro's haori.
"That haori... thats captain hitsugaya's!" Rukia gasped.
"He.." Ichigo trailed off.
"Ichigo! Why didn't you stop him?!" Renji growled as he grabbed ichigo's shirt.
"He tried renji! We both did.." Rain said as she looked at the floor.
"Rain.." Ichigo said as he watched rain.
"Ichigo, did captain hitsugaya say anything?" Rukia asked worriedly.
"Huh? uh.. well... he said he'd get back the kings seal.. There was something else... oh yeah! Who's kusaka?" Ichigo said as he looked at rukia.
"Kusaka?" rukia asked confused.
"He said its the name of a guy that got killed... And then he..." Ichigo trailed off as he remembered the look on toushiro's face.
Rukia turned to renji. "Renji, can you got o soul society and check who this kusaka is? Theres a chance that he could be connected to the attacker vice-captain matsumoto was talking about." she said.
"Sure but why me?" Renji asked.
"Why else, renji. She's not a vice-captain she would have much more less of a chance to get to talk to rangiku then you would." Rain said with her eye's still stuck to the floor.
"Exactly, And..." Rukia said as she grabbed toushiro's haori and handed it to renji. "Take this." she said.
"Talk about a dirty job.." Renji sighed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toushiro awoke from his nightmare from the day kusaka was killed with a start. Toushiro sighed and stood up. But from being so weak he fell on his face. He got back up and stumbled on his journey to find kusaka and the kings seal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
meanwhile kusaka and the two women were in soul society.
"So, how was hitsugaya?" Kusaka asked the women.
"It seems that he really hasn't been in contact with the thirteen protection squads." the blue woman said.
"Should we bring him back before they capture him?" The red woman said.
"No, lets let the situation play out for a little while." Kusaka said. "As long as he weilds the same power as me, there is no room for him here." Kursaka said. "he hs no choice but to obey me."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was at urahara's shop.
"Captain hitsugaya's time in the central spiritual arts academy was before i was accepted by the kuchiki house, so i don't know much about him. even though we were both from rukongai, i was in inuzuri and captain hitsugaya was in jiyunrinan." Rukia said as she thought for a moment. "I believe that he and 5th squad vice-captain hinamori grew up together, like siblings."
"So if we were to ask this hinamori person," ishida didn't finish.
"Unfortunatly, hinamori is still recuperating. Also, this is just a guess, but i doubt captain hitsugaya ever told any important stories to vice-captain hinamori." Rukia said.
"Even more so if they were painful memories, huh, rain-chan." Urahara said as he looked at rain, who was leaning on the wall.
Rain looked at him and then looked away. "What do you mean by that?" She asked grumpily.
Urahara gave her a serious look. "I know you and captain hitsugaya have a special bond," urahara said point blankly.
Rain blushed slightly and gave him a dirty look. "And what exactly make's you think that?!" She snapped at him.
"That your blushing." urahara said as he smiled cheesily.
"I AM NOT BLUSHING!" She snapped as her blush covered her whole face.
"It's okay to blush, rain-chan, its natural for you to feel this way towards boy's!" Urahara said as he waved his fan at her.
Rain was steaming now.
"Espically boys as ho-"
"SHUT IT!" Rain said as she kicked urahara in the face.
Urahara sat up and held his face.
"Store keeper.." Tessai said as he saw his store keeper squirm.
Orihime looked down in worry. "He must be strong." She said.
"Yeah, right!" Ichigo growled.
Rain stormed off and jumped onto the roof. She missed him. "Toushiro... where are you?" Rain said as she looked at the sky and hugged her knees.
