I DON'T OWN BLEACH
Frozen Passion
"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself."
Maya Angelou
"Your name is Hyorinmaru, and I am your master Hitsugaya Toshiro!"
"There is no way a mere child can be my master...because my power is so vast. Only a truly powerful shinigami can wield me."
"I've been told the zanpaktou released from their master's are being controlled by their instincts...Tell me Hyorinmaru, what do you instincts tell you to do? What does your heart desire?"
"I seek a place where I belong..."
Chapter 13; Home
He knows before he opens his eyes, her face would not be there. Despite her painful absence, he rouses himself. Opens his teal eyes to the high scenery atop the water tower. Pulling the pink scarf closer to his neck, he lifts her sword.
"Why didn't you just force herself out of the gigai?" He slides Haineko from her sheath looking at the bloodless blade. "Why didn't you fight back?!" Glancing down at the ground he sees Urahara climbing up the rusty ladder.
"Good morning, captain Hitsugaya." He sits down next to him holding onto his green striped hat so the brisk winds don't blow it away. "It would seem vice-captain Matsumoto-san is missing. Any ideas where she is?" His blue eyes flick to her open sword with curiosity.
"Don't fuck with me right now, if you know anything. You'd better tell me."
"Ooh, you sound serious."
"I'm a serious guy."
"Let's just say...hypothetically, if she is kidnapped by a group of humans."
"Humans? Then that could explain why she didn't draw her sword on them."
"Yes, however..."
"Why didn't she just force out of her gigai and runaway?"
"Here I brought you a gift." Urahara produces a syringe with a long needle attached to it.
"What is it?"
"Think of it like the shinigami's version of adrenaline. Now don't use that unless you absolutely have to. Because it could make your human heart burst, or if you are lucky restore your powers for five minutes."
"She was protecting me...I was supposed to meet her there."
"Oh, it's like you don't really need me."
"Why are you helping me?"
Urahara points down to the two orange heads walking out of the tree line. "Kurosaki-san, said you would die before asking for anyone's help."
"Bastard."

He walks inside the dimly light building quickly scanning the room. He notices two men with crude weapons and another with a gun at the front near another doorway.
"You actually showed up! HAHAHA! You are stupid kid."
"Where is Matsumoto?"
"She is through this door, you are going to have to make it past us first."
"Fine by me." Hitsugaya moves to his left kicking a chair toward the man with the gun, knocking out of his hands. Stepping in front of the closest man he presses his two longest fingers to the collar bone in a quick jab making the man fall down. Turning quickly Hitsugaya side steps the baseball bat aimed at him, moving inside into the man's chest hitting him with both his palms crushing four ribs. He falls backward to the ground coughing up blood. His main concern, the man with the gun pops up from behind the bar and fires. Hitsugaya steps back one foot as the bullet enters his shoulder.
"Your whore is gonna die."
"Matsumoto's not a whore."
"Shoot to Kill, Shinso." Bright light extends through the back wall piercing the man with the gun and lodging itself into Hitsugaya's leg shattering his leg.
"W-why?" The man gurgles blood from the floor.
"It ain't nice ta call Ran a whore." Ichimaru appears in the door way sealing his sword. He snaps his fingers, the walls behind him crumbles away revealing Matsumoto. She is tied by her hands standing on a chair with a thick rope around her neck. Blood pours down her arms and legs splashing into a puddle on the chair making it slippery and difficult to stand on.
"Toshiro... I'm sorry." Her voice is weak and cracking. Tears stream down her blood soaked cheeks."It's hopeless."
"Ichimaru...Gin... What the fuck do you want!" Toshiro watches her tears trickle down. Tears are worse than blood, much worse. He couldn't bare to see her cry.
"I want my mark back." He lifts his hand unrolling a bloody patch of skin with Hyorinmaru's image tattooed on it. "I had to cut her out of that damn gigai!"
Anger...absolute rage...things he has allowed to show only a few times boils inside him fueling his fast beating heart.
"You are dead!" Hitsugaya pulls Haineko out of her sheathe and points it at Ichimaru.
"What can you do to me? Little human boy." His thin wicked smile stretches across his face. "It must just burn you up that I got her before you! When she was wide eyed and innocent. That was the first thing I took from her." He lifts his blade and points it toward Matsumoto. "I delighted in defiling everything beautiful about you Ran."
Rangiku's eyes watch Hitsugaya through the blurs, she sees him taking out a syringe.
"So Shiro-chan~!" Ichimaru's voice mocks lifting the blade to her throat. "I'm gonna to let you watch her die."
"Haineko....help Rangiku."
"Shoot to KI-"
"RANGIKU, GET AWAY!" Toshiro screams as Gin's blade slices through the rope holding her up, continuing snaking across her neck slitting her throat. She falls to the ground her silver moon eyes dulling.
Clenching his teeth he shoves the needle into his chest and presses down on the plunger.
"What's that you did there?" Gin flash steps over to him grabbing him by the throat and lifting him from the dirty floor.
"I have nothing left to lose. My sun is dead."
氷原の夢を見る
I dream of an ice field
氷の気配がする
I can feel the ice
声が聞こえる こだましている
I hear a voice echoing
圧し潰すような 包み込むような
squashing and wrapping
遠く鳴り響く 雷鳴のような
like thunder echoing in the distance
声が聞こえる
I hear a voice
圧し潰すような 包み込むような
squashing and wrapping
遠く鳴り響く 雷鳴のような
like thunder echoing in the distance
この掌に触れる 花のような
like a flower touching my palm
"I can hear a voice. A faraway roar from somewhere near; I've decided to find out where it is that voice comes from. Even if I have to bury myself in the middle of this ice field."
"Let the world grow dark and cold. Freeze it all, the sun no longer shines for me. She was my home."
"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru."
"Yes, Master."
Hey all, I hope I don't get hate mail over this chapter O.o I had planned this from the beginning after all. If you are thinking that Shiro-chan is OOC here I politely disagree. He joined the shinigami's to find out how to control his powers and for a place to belong. To not be treated like a freak or a child. It isn't a stretch to say he would react like this if it was all taken from him. Please review! Next chapter will be a good one^^
