The next morning rolled by fast, and the sun was high in the sky. Byakuya was in his office working as usual, but he didn't have his mind set straight on work one hundred percent. Half was concentrated on his job and the other was on his missing prince. It was getting bad, so bad that it was affecting his work, and not just only that, his sleep as well. After hearing his name being called during the meeting, Toshiro has never left his thoughts. He just hope that today would give him some luck, and he prayed to the gods that they would give him some answers.

Ulquiorra walked hurriedly through the baraks to get to the six division. As he was walking he, surprisingly, met up with Shunsui along the way.
"Hey there, good morning, I was just out looking for you." Shunsui spoke with a smile gracing his face. Ulquiorra just raised an eyebrow.
"Good morning to you, sorry but I must excuse myself, I have something of importance to speak about with the captain of the six division. It involves his lieutenant-"
"Funny you should mention that cause that's why I wanted to speak with you about. If you have time, he doesn't leave until later this noon to start the search again. I just thought, you know we could help him out." The older man spoke cutting the other off. He really wanted to help out Byakuya, but he needed the help and he intended to get it.
"Very well than, but lets speak in a more private setting, shall we." Gesturing the other to lead the way, he then followed.
They both sped off through the air quickly get to their destination. Opening the door they both stepped inside, Shunsui gestured for Ulquiorra to have a seat before offering some tea, which was declined politely. As Shunsui made his tea and sat down, they both got straight the work with their conversation.
"So I just found out late last night that Toshiro has gone missing around midnight-" the older man started but was cut short by the green eyes man.
"So then it was him." He said, speaking to no one in particular.
"Excuse me... What was that?" Shunsui spoke in confusion. Not understanding what the other was talking about.
"Sorry, let me clarify, I haven't spoken to anyone about this but I believe that the person I saw last night who was being taken away could be Toshiro. You said it was around midnight right?" Ulquiorra asked. Shunsui only nodded his head. "Then it should have been him. Around the time I was going home late that exact night I caught a glimpse of someone in another's arm before they flash stepped away." He finished.
"Ahh, so we have some evidence, but its not enough."
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in" Shunsui spoke.
"Umm excuse me….ahh, captain there you are I was looking for you." Midori spoke as she stepped in. It looked as if there was a small meeting. "Did I come at a wrong time?" She asked not wanting to be rude.
"No, come in please have a seat, we were just discussing about Toshiro and the whole situation. Apparently your captain believes that he seen someone, who could be Toshiro, being abducted. He said it happened around midnight, which is around the same time Toshiro left home. " Ulquiorra agreeing with the other man. Midori was in thought for a while, thinking of something else.
"If we had more evidence we could find him quicker. I think it's time we head over to the six division and discuss this further with captain Kuchiki." Ulquiorra concluded. "Midori are you ok?" The girls captain asked out of concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine I was just in thought for a bit. Shall we go."
With that said everyone got up and left hoping to get this all figured out.

Hisage walked into the room of where Toshiro slept, breakfast in hand. Watching Toshiro closely, he noticed that he was a bit paler than usual, but brushed it off. Placing the breakfast down on the table besides the bed, he turned and shock the boy lightly. Toshiro stirred in his sleep, waking up, then when he opened his eyes they looked as if he had no life in them.
"Here I brought you some food you have to eat to keep up your strength" speaking in a worried tone, Hisage then proceed to pick up the spoon and feed the boy. Toshiro shook his head not wanting to eat. If he was going to be a captive under this man he rather chose death. Hisage nudged the spoon to the others mouth and with a little force he was able to get him to eat. By the end of all his struggles Toshiro was able to eat a little over half of what was brought to him.
"There, that wasn't so bad now wasn't it. Lets get you changed and into clean clothes, I bet you want a nice hot bath. I'll go run it for you." Hisage said with a small smile before he left, locking the door behind him. A few minutes later Toshiro sat up with what little strength he had and scanned the room. After looking around to see if anyone was there he let out a sob.
"Byakuya where are you, I need you. I can't do this anymore, not by myself. I no longer have the strength to hold myself against these evil creatures. Please don't leave me here. Your everything I have left." He then began to sob more, but what he didn't noticed was someone was listening to him.
'Huh, so you still choose him. That's about to change' Hisage thought to himself before opening the door to the room. The raven haired man quickly made his way to the side of the bed. Toshiro looked up with red, puffy eyes as he was suddenly yanked by the arm up off the bed.
"Ouch, that hurts-"
"Have you considered about what I said the other day"
Hisage cut in, speaking in a demanding voice.
"..."
"We'll I'm waiting, did you" he began to get impatient, and his grip on Toshiro's shoulders grew tighter.
Toshiro looked him in the eyes with his most serious face he could give in his condition and got straight to the point. "Yes I did, but it only took me less than a second to decide, and I long since made up my mind. It has been and always well be Byakuya Kuchiki." Speaking with determination making Hisage even mad. He grab Toshiro and dragged him out the room, into the hallway, straight to the bath room.
"Let me go." Toshiro complained.
"You think I'm going to let him have you, your sadly mistaken. I'm not going to let you go after everything I did and got this far." Raising his voice in a angered way, he began to strip Toshiro of his clothes. Toshiro began to struggle and fight with what little strength he had left to get the other away. His little fighting was getting him nowhere and soon enough he was left bare with no clothes and thrown into the bath full of warm water. It was a pretty big bath, up to five people could fit in it at the same time. As he emerged from under the water he saw that Hisage had began to remove his clothes as well and was stepping into the bath with him.
"What are you doing, I don't need you in here with me. Get out." Toshiro said while backing up to the other side of the bath. Hisage only just moved forwards towards the other.
" I'm not going anywhere. I told you, you needed a bath, but not unsupervised. And besides I'm going to change your mind one way or another, even if by force." Toshiros eyes widen, what did he mean by that. Whatever it was he didn't like it, and especially the fact that he was moving closer to him with a smirk on his face, Which meant 'up to no good.' He was not liking where this was going.
'Byakuya where are you!' he screamed in his mind.
XxXxXxXx
Byakuya look up from where he was writing at the sound if his name, he thought he was being called. A "knock" came to the door a second later and he called out a "come in."
"Excuse me for this little intrusion, but I would like to speak with you for a while about something important" Uluqiorra spoke, only having his head poked in the shared office. Byakuya only sighed.
"Please come in, have a seat." As the captain walked in, he noticed Shunsui and Midori walk in behind him. "What is the meaning of this, your supposed to be working not lounging around in my office" he spoke to both Shunsui and Midori.
"Please, they have come here with the same purpose I have, we all want to help find your lieutenant. I know you are taking it tuff and your hiding it, but we can help." Ulquiorra spoke on behalf the other two. Byakuya let out another sigh and agreed to have them stay.
"Ok, very well, lets get on with this, the sooner we start the fast we can find him. What is it that you have in mind that can help find Toshiro. I assume you have some clue to where he might be?" Byakuya ask in question, anxious to find his little lover.
"We don't exactly know where he is yet, but that's way we're here. I wanted to see if we could put what we know together so we could find him. Now so far Ulquiorra said he might have seen Toshiro being dragged away by some someone the same night he went missing. We don't know for sure if it was him, but we are going with that for now." Shunsui explained to Byakuya, getting everything clear so far for him.
"Now, all we need to do is put together what we know so far and go from there. Is there anything that you saw, heard, or felt different while Toshiro was around or the these past few days?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Well, I'm not sure if this is right, but around the first time we met, when I was leaving from captain Kuchiki's office, I saw Toshiro talking with some one. As I approached them he suddenly just left. To me, if that was his friend he would have stayed and said at least a hello to me before walking away, but he didn't . Also he happen to be the same person who I bumped into while being late the same day as the lieutenants meeting, he was in a hurry too. I don't know if that's helpful." Midori added. She thought something was off with him, she didnt know his name but she knew his face.
" I see, do you know his name by any chance?" Shunsui asked
"No, I'm afraid not, but he has a sixty nine on his face." She answered. Shunsui already knew who it was and so did the other two captains.
"Ahh, you must be talking about lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi. I didn't know they were acquainted-"
"There not, he was probably introducing himself to Toshiro the day Midori saw them speaking. Toshiro doesn't know anyone here, he was just assigned here the day." Byakuya stated cutting Shunsui off. "Also there's something I want to clarify, it's been on my mind for sometime since I received it. Is it possible for a lieutenant to send out letters of there own, to captains, to sign?" He asked wanting to know.
"Unless its another captain sending it to be signed, then no, but a lieutenant can't just send a captain a paper to sign, he's not of a high position. Why do you ask.? Ulquiorra answered before wanting to know the reason behind it.
"I ask because I received a couple of letters that needed to be read and singed, and it was all from lieutenant Hisage. I spent almost the while night doing those papers. I was so mad, I had wanted to walk Toshiro home, even if he didn't want me to, because of what happen to him before.
" what happened before?" Shunsui asked
"When I was walking home I found him surrounded by a couple of guys. One had him pinned to the ground and two were standing around them. The one that was holding him down had shoulder length hair-"
"Wait, if I'm not mistaken he was the one who flash stepped away with Toshiro that night. His hair was long and it was brown. " Ulquiorra said cutting Byakuya off.
"Yes, he did have brown hair… Looks like he has something to do with it as well."
"I think he plan the whole thing out. He sent some letters to Byakuya so that he wouldn't go with Toshiro that night. Then when no one was around, sent him men to capture him. Now the big question is, where, where did they take him. Where are they hiding him. It shouldn't be to far because I see Hisage here in and out of his office, Toshiro must be nearby." Shunsui spoke all at once. They were putting everything together now they just needed a location.
"Wait!, I don't know if it'll help, but remember when I said that Hisage was rushing to the lieutenants meeting when we bumped into each other. Well he wasn't coming from his barracks, he was coming from the direction of the woods near by the gates. It might be a long shot but he might be hiding Toshiro somewhere in there without being seen." Midori quickly and loudly spoke. She felt that had something to do with it, she was
Certain of it.
"Alright so tonight we'll go there and check it out, we should be prepared just in case he is there and we might have to fight. But hopefully he is and we can save him, until then we should go back to work . We'll met back here in front of the six division and go from there." Ulquiorra spoke with confidence of finding their missing friend.
'I hope your ok my love, we'll find you.' Byakuya thought to himself.
