(*3rd person*)

"Whoa! Toshiro! Your place is huge!" Karin yelled as she ran around Toshiro's mansion, on the lowest floor, which was underground, there was an in-ground swimming pool and a spa, the second lowest floor had a huge kitchen and dining room, the middle floor was a huge lounge room as well as an arcade and a trampoline, A TRAMPOLINE INSIDE! The second highest floor was just blank, white walls, white carpet, white couch. And on the highest floor there was four bedrooms as well as Toshiro's room, each with their own bathrooms and walk-in-wardrobes.

"Yeah" Toshiro agreed "that's because unlike the other captains I save my money when I get payed" Karin nodded and asked "so which bedroom is mine?" Toshiro led Karin down a hallway in into a large room, probably the biggest in the house. "You can stay here, the smallest room down the hallway is mine and your Zanpaktou can have her own room if she wants, preferably Hyourinmaru's room, I don't like burnt furniture and Hyourinmaru freezes stuff in his sleep".

Karin nodded and looked around her room. It had a plain red wallpaper, a huge double king sized bed and soccer posters covering a wall. In the walk-in-wardrobe Karin's clothes were folded up neatly and some soccer gear was in the corner. The bathroom was the biggest Karin had ever seen, the wall tiles had a black diamond pattern on it and the floor tiles were plain black, the shower was one of those big expensive glass walk in ones and the bath looked like it's never been used before, a clean towel over the side and the taps were shiny, the toilet looked like it was from the future and the sink was one of those new round, shiny, white ones. "Hey Toshiro?" Karin asked quietly "why do you have the smallest room?" Toshiro shrugged and said "I just don't really like large spaces"

(*THE NEXT DAY*)

"You wanna play soccer?" Toshiro asked as they walked down the stairs, without answering Karin ran back up the stairs and returned with the soccer gear that was in her walk-in-wardrobe. "Zanpaktou vs. soul reapers" Karin said as she held up the gear and smirked, Toshiro smirked as well before flash-stepping off to gather the teams.

(*WITH TOSHIRO*)

"What's the rush captain?" Rangiku asked when she saw her captain flash-step into the office. "Soccer game, Zanpaktou vs. soul reapers" Toshiro said before flash-stepping out of the office again. Rangiku smirked before flash-stepping out as well so she could tell the rest of the squad, the tenth division loved it when their captain played soccer.

"What's going on Toshiro?" Ichigo asked when he saw the captain of the tenth division flash-step past his window. Toshiro stopped and leaned on the window frame "it's captain Hitsugaya…and there's a soccer match, Zanpaktou vs. soul reapers" Toshiro explained, Ichigo nodded and walked out of the office, heading down the hall. Toshiro continued to flash-step.

At the fourth division Toshiro stopped flash-stepping and walked quietly down towards captain Unohana's office, the captain of the fourth division seams calm and quiet, but when someone runs in the hallway, or is being too loud, the eleventh division is safer. Toshiro nocked on the office door and a quiet 'com in' came from the other side, Toshiro walked in and closed the door behind him. "Captain Unohana" Toshiro said as he bowed, "captain Hitsugaya" the captain of the fourth division said quietly "what may I do for you?" Toshiro walked close to the desk before explaining "we're having a soccer game, Zanpaktou vs. soul reapers" Unohana smirked before nodding and standing up and walking out of the room, Toshiro following behind.

Toshiro knew that the first and the second division wouldn't come to watch, and that Rangiku would handle the eleventh and twelfth divisions so Toshiro flash-stepped to the thirteenth division.

Toshiro walked straight into the thirteenth division's office, not needing to knock. "Oh! Toshiro!" the older captain said happily "I didn't expect to see you here so early!" Toshiro ran up to the older captain and hugged him. "Hi dad" Toshiro said (yes, the captain of the thirteenth division, Juushiro Ukitake (*I'm sorry if I spelt his name wrong, peoples, I type this stuff at school so I don't have any internet, so there was no way to find out how to spell his name, my apologies peoples*) was Toshiro's father, they've only recently found out their related and didn't want the whole soul society to know so it was kept a secret, the last names are different because Hitsugaya was Toshiro's mother's last name, making the secret easier to keep) "I'm here early because there's a soccer game, Zanpaktou vs. soul reapers, do you want to come?" Juushiro smiled and nodded saying "of corse! I'll bring the whole division!" Toshiro smiled and started to turn around, but then he saw Rukia and stopped. "How long have you been here?" Toshiro asked, Rukia shrugged and said "I've been here since you first walked in…now, can someone tell me what's going on?" Juushiro smiled, glad to be able to tell someone about his recently found son.

"Remember when we were sent to the rukongai? Three years ago?" Juushiro asked as he sat down, Rukia nodded and sat down as well, "and remember when me and Toshiro disappeared for a while?" Rukia nodded again, "well here's what happened:

(*FLASHBACK*)

"Where are we going captain Ukitake?" Toshiro sighed as he walked with the older white haired captain. "I have no idea" the older captain shrugged, Toshiro rolled his eyes and looked to the right, what he saw made him stop walking, he had had dreams about this woman, no, not THOSE dreams, they were more like memories. The woman had long black hair and, like Toshiro, had greenish-blue eyes, she wore a long blue kimono with light purple flowers imprinted along the hem and for her shoes she wore some simple sandals with flowers on the side. "Minatsu" Juushiro whispered instantly recognising the woman. Toshiro recognised the woman too, but by a different name.

"Mum" Toshiro whispered. (*now who saw that coming? I know I did! Ha, ha!*)

"Toshiro…" Minatsu whispered "…Juushiro…what are you doing here?" the two white haired captains were still in a state of shock, Toshiro not saying anything, while Juushiro blinked before asking "Minatsu…Hitsugaya? Is that you?" Minatsu nodded and turned to the younger captain. "Toshiro…" Minatsu said quietly "…Toshiro, are you alright?" the small captain blinked and looked up at Minatsu, feeling like a small child…well, a smaller child. "Come inside" Minatsu said quickly, Juushiro nodded and walked into the small house that Minatsu had come out off. Minatsu picked up Toshiro like he was a baby and followed Juushiro inside.

"I'm sorry" Minatsu said when the two captains had sat down on the couch and Toshiro had come out of his state of shock. "For what?" Juushiro asked as Minatsu gave him and Toshiro a cup of tea each, "for not telling you…about our son" Minatsu replied, Juushiro blinked then pointed to Toshiro, stuttering "he's…he's our…son?" Minatsu nodded. "Why did you leave me with grandma?" Toshiro asked his mother, who sighed. "I left you with your grandma because I couldn't afford to keep you with me, I wanted to but I didn't have the money, only recently I've been able to save enough money, and when I came to look for you, you had already left for the academy with your cousin Momo" Minatsu explained, Toshiro nodded sadly.

Deciding that everything was too quiet and sad Minatsu asked "so have you got a girlfriend yet Toshiro?" the tenth division blushed and shook his head furiously, his mother laughed before looking at Juushiro, who had his hand in the air like a school student. "Yes Juushiro?" Minatsu smiled, Juushiro smirked before saying "actually, Toshiro does have a girlfriend, her name's Karin and she…" Juushiro couldn't say anymore because Toshiro had covered his mouth whispering "quiet!" Minatsu watched the whole thing as she laughed.

"So who is Karin, Toshiro?" Minatsu asked, Toshiro blushed before stuttering "a…a…friend" at that moment Juushiro pushed his blushing son's head out of the way saying "I don't think she's a friend, Toshiro secretly goes to the world of the living just to talk to her! And Toshiro says that she gets cuter and cuter every time he goes! Right now she's twelve! Can you believe that?" Minatsu laughed and said "you adapted to being a father very quickly" Juushiro nodded and smiled.

"Bye mum" Toshiro said as he and his father walked away from his mother's house, wishing he could stay longer. "Bye Toshiro, come back soon so I can hear more about Karin" Minatsu waved, Toshiro blushed and continued to walk back the way they'd came.

(*end flashback*)

"Okay, we'd better get going" Juushiro said as he stood up "we don't want to make Toshiro late for his soccer game" Rukia nodded and stood up as well, Toshiro was already up and was waiting for them at the door. "Dad" Toshiro groaned "you didn't have to tell her about that bit" Juushiro shrugged and continued to walk down the hallway. "Captain Hitsugaya?" Rukia called, Toshiro slowed down so the lieutenant of the thirteenth squad could talk to him, "did you really go into the world of the living just so you could talk to Karin?" Toshiro blushed but nodded, "wow, so I wasn't the only one?"

"What?" Toshiro asked.

"Well…I used to secretly go into the world of the living so I could talk to Ichigo, look at us now! I bet you and Karin are catching up to us huh?" Rukia smirked, Toshiro blushed.

When they reached the squad ten's soccer field Toshiro went to find Karin, while Rukia went to find Ichigo and Juushiro went to find Minatsu, who could practically sense when her son wanted to have a soccer game and Juushiro had found some way to get her into the soul society, don't ask me how, no one knows.

"Ya ready?" Karin asked as she let Miyabi materialise, Toshiro nodded and let his Zanpaktou do the same, the other soul reapers had already let theirs out and gotten into position.

The whistle blew and the game started.

I think I can now have a well earned break, if you want me to update, then review, otherwise I'll probably be gone for the next three weeks

now, I've been feeling like doing something like this so here it is:

who is the better character?

Toshiro or Renji? I think Renji is better and most girls out there know what I mean by that! ;D
