Chapter one
A black hole with jagged teeth like edges, Garganta appeared in the sky within its pitch black depths numerous beady red eyes glowing in the darkness, malicious intent and insatiable hunger vibrating through them.
"Matsumoto Fukutaicho are you alright?" a young brunette asked as she watched her superior stumble through the tenth division hall, head hung low that her face wasn't visible but even from the distant she was standing the strong scent of sake was present on every fiber of the strawberry blonde's body. "Matsumoto Fukutaicho have you been drinking?" the seated officer asked a frown curled on her thin pink lips.
At this Rangiku shot up and she plastered a smile on her face as she said, "What? Of course not!" she said merrily as she ran a hand through her wavy mane, "I was just hanging out with Renji kun and Shunsui kun that's all."
The brunette eyed her superior from head to toe trying to find any hint of falsehood in the older woman's story but alas she found none with a small smile she apologized for accusing her being under the influence and headed for the training area. Rangiku listened as to the footsteps getting fainter and fainter until they disappeared entirely. Sighing with relief the gingered haired woman reached for the bottle of sake when her eyes caught the slightly ajar door to her Taichou's office open. a look of pure sadness and worry took over her as she sighed and got up walking towards the office and entering it closing the door behind her as she did, sake still in hand.
Walking over to the couch Rangiku sank into its soft cushions and leaned her head back as she pulled out a small bottle of sake and got ready to take a few sips when a pale ivory light shone off the bottle, the light of a crescent shaped moon made it appear almost transparent. Placing the bottle down on a table she gazed at the moon. Her taichou loved Moonlit Nights not as much as he loved snow filled days but he had told her that Nights like these would remind him of his inner world, an eternal night filled with freshly falling snow. She remember how his lips had quirked subconsciously into a small smile as he told her this before returning to that adorable scowl he always wore when being professional.
Damn it she thought bitterly as she turned her head to look at the desk covered with paper work that had been completed before his departure and left for her to distribute and deliver, work that her Taichou would've yelled at her to do multiple times, threatening to something to her while giving a cold glare that made the lowest seated officer wince but not Matsumoto Rangiku because she deep down she knew her captain wouldn't punish her too badly, nothing short of cleaning duty or training the new recruits. A wan drunken giggle escaped her lips as she continued staring at the moon. Why? She asked herself as she remembered why the white haired child was absent from his usual spot at his desk, Why him? Why did they have to send my taichou to GOD FORSAKEN PLACE? They know how dangerous it is, with all the hollows and what not. Then there's him. She stopped as she remembered the former ex taichou of the fifth division and the one she was worrying about hated them the most. Turning around so that her entire body was on the couch positioned in front of the window, Rangiku yawned as she dozed off.
She hadn't even been asleep for an hour when something light brushed against her hand before drifting up to her and tickling her ears and words being poured into them. Blinking slowly blue gray eyes recognized the deep, gruff voice of the Captain Commander through the jigokuchou, holding a single finger out she allowed it a place to perch as it relayed the message.
"What!" Rangiku exclaimed as jumped off the couch, "Tell them on my way right now!" her voice and entire demeanor changed from a flirty, lackadasical shirker to sharp, strong, capable co leader of the tenth squad lieutenant she was. The black and purple butterfly flapped it wings before flying off, Smoky blue tinted eyes watched for a second before using shunpo to leave the premises, her destination, the sekeimon gates where a team would be waiting for her.
It didn't take long for her to reach the gates upon reaching it she notice three familiar figures, her drinking buddies. Confusion covered her face as she pointed a finger at all of them, "What are you guys doing here?"
Running a hand through his wild red ponytail Renji answered, "Same thing you are." He said, "Apparently a garganta has appeared in Karakura town and the Head captain wants us to get rid of the hollows that are coming out of it."
"A garganta?" She asked confused by what two lieutenants and two high seated officers were being sent out to take care of one garganta. It didn't make much sense with Rukia chan already posted down their to guard the town that wasn't even including Ichigo kun and his companions or the former second and twelvth division captains.
"What are we all just standing here for?" Ikkaku asked, a grin spreading on his face as he grabbed the hilt of houzikimaru, "We're wastin time just standing here thinking about why, lets go already!" he yelled impatiently as disappeared through the gate, Yumechika soon followed behind him, zanpaktou already unsheathed, ready for the likley possibility of battle Renji and Rangiku went through last feeling the gate close behind and hearing the inhumane howls of a dozen hollows in the streets below them.
A wave of black and dark red reiatus cleaved several hollows in one fell swoop caught their attention. The substitute Shiningami was already taking care of it. Kuchiki not too far behind blasting away several hollows with one of her Shikai's dances. Inoue, Ishida and Yatsotora wasn't to far away dealing their own battles with the exception of Orihime who mostly defend and occassionaly used her offensive technique Koten Zanshun on a random hollow. Looking at one another the shinigami shunpoed down and joined the fray. Exchanging greetings with their companions betweeen swings.
Wake up…
He groaned in response, stirring slightly when he did.
You have to wake up…
Instead of waking up he just stirred some more, sweat running down his forehead in buckets as he remained unconscious, trembling slightly. An expression of pure and undiluted pain present on his face.
You have to wake up, NOW!
Pale eyelids twitched as he struggled to open them, they felt so heavy in fact his whole body felt heavy as if he had been stabbed by Kurotsuchi's Zanpaktou though he glad he hadn't any personal experience with that. The voice called him again, its tone desperate and teasing as the same time, what an unusual combination.
Toshiro groaned, shaking slightly as felt another wave of pain floodedhis entire body. He struggled to force himself awake when a bright light hit him and voice he wished he carve out of his memory greeeted him.
"Konbawa Hitsugaya kun, How to you like you accomadations?"
Tada! That's the first chapter. Once again, Is it good? Is it bad? Should I just keep going or quit while I'm ahead.
