Aww I have testing this week people! sorry 4 late update. aww crap i ran out of things to say. o well enjoy!
Yoruichi and Ichigo were sealed in the underground training room and Uryu, Chad, Ganju, and Orihime were probably locked up somewhere. It was two days since the announcement for Rukia Kuchiki's execution was declared and I have noticed extra security around the execution grounds. Over the past few days, I've been wandering back to the Rukongai. As child, I use to live in District 80, even though it was the worst slum out of all of them, the thought of it made me smile.
My old house had been demolished to rubble due to vandalism, but I didn't care. I wandered over to the nearby field where my sister and I use to pick flowers for our mother. She would accept them then throw them out when we were asleep. Nothing much changed except for one thing, three mounds stood in the center of the filed.
I walked through the tall grasses and revealed three graves (a smaller one was covered by the grass). Names were carved across the markers. Only one stood out from the rest, Hinamoto, Kurohime.
My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw the names next to my graves. Someone buried me next my mother, sister, and cat. Wilted flowers covered the markers and ground, the sickly scent of the blossoms filled the air when I stepped on one. I went over to a nearby bush and started to yank out the flowers despite of the thorns. My hands were bloody and raw by the time I was finished.
After scattering the flowers on the three graves (not including mine's) I stood up and a thought came to me. Who buried me? I was angry that someone had thought I was dead, but touched someone had the decency to let me rest in peace. The sun was setting and I had to train . . .
Toshiro had just finished his paperwork for the day and took a sip of his tea. He was almost done with it when he heard a small explosion in the distance. There was no outstanding reiatsu that he could sense, but as a captain he had to make sure it wasn't a ryoka.
He shunpoed way past the Seireitei to a large clearing. The explosions were getting more frequent and louder. Standing to the side was Iryina, Sunade or what looked like her. She flew in the air and raised her leg past her head and brought it down on a dead tree. A blast of dust and other wreckage blew past him to reveal a large crater in the ground with Sunade standing in the middle.
She was panting heavily and blood dripped down from her arms and legs. Her arm swung to the side and hit another tree, causing it to split into dust. What the hell, he thought. She sunk to her knees, holding her shoulder in one hand and began tearing strips from her uniform and clumsily wrapping the strip around her arms.
Toshiro snuck up behind her and tapped her other shoulder. In an instinct, her good arm swung out and hit the canyon wall, creating a very large dent in the stone formation. Her eyes widened to a certain degree and she bowed her head down until it was touching the ground. "A thousand pardons, Hitsuguya-taicho. I didn't know you were there, sir."
Hitsuguya didn't respond to this, instead he got on his knees and reached into his shihaksho. Her eyes expanded even further when she saw it was a roll of bandages. Sunade angled her face away from his, but he still saw the slight crimson spreading across her pale features. It was a long, awkward moment between them both.
At the first moment of contact with her flesh, he flinched. She pretended she didn't notice this and said "Thank you, Hitsuguya-taicho." Her voice cracked in the middle and she let out an icy chuckle. When he was done, Toshiro stood up and extended an arm to help her up only to find her standing in front of him with her head bowed to the ground.
I couldn't believe it! After this long, I still haven't got rid of my naïve self. I should have just stood there like an idiot and splatter red paint all over myself just so he doesn't know I was blushing. Secretly, I was pleased. His hand skimmed over my arm as he applied the bandages, gentle and fast at the same time. Wait, what was I thinking? This was Toshiro Hitsuguya. My former "good old chum."
After he left, I pretty much destroyed the ground and caused severe rock slides. This somehow alerted Yoruichi and she suddenly appear. "What are you doing, Hime-chan? Is something the matter?" I stormed past her, my fist smashing the rock along the way. I really wish I was back home.
Late that night, three disturbances occurred during the time. All three fukutaichos that were kept in the jail cells had escaped and Toshiro was responsible for two of them. Instantly his mind wandered to Momo. Could Gin be involved in this? After all, his fukutaicho was gone from his cell and the door seemed from the outside.
Hitsuguya concentrated on any suspicious reiatsu. There, Gin and Izuru's were close to his barracks. Hinamori's reiatsu was hidden unfortunately, due to her being a kido expert and they hadn't bothered to lock her up with sekiseki cuffs. He shunpoed to a opened area, there stood Gin Ichimaru and his fukutaicho Izuru Kira.
Damn you, Gin, He thought. Toshiro had to kill Gin, he couldn't let him touch Hinamori. Gin's smile jst grew wider as Hinamori showed up. "Step aside, Momo. You can't beat him." Momo just drew her zanpaktou and pointed it at him.
"Momo, What are yo-" She just looked at him and said "I'm doing this for Aizen-taicho," Then she pulled out a piece of paper from her robes and read the contents to him. When she finished, Toshiro couldn't believe his ears. "Why, Shiro-chan?" Hinamori''s voice was clearly filled with betrayal and conviction and he saw the tears forming at her eyes. She let out a scream and slashed at him, the blow barely missing him by inches.
Toshiro repeatedly dodged the sword and tried to reason with Hinamori. "Aizen-taicho wrote it down in this letter! I know he did because it his hand writing!" With that she took another slash at him and whimpered "I . . . don't know what to think anymore, Shiro-chan." Then she screeched and aimed at him again.
This time Toshiro took to the air and noticed huge smirk that Gin Ichimaru wore on his face. It grew when he had looked down on him. Ichimaru, he thought. Suddenly, Momo jumped into the air, her blade poised to strike Toshiro. Damn, I can't move in mid-air, he thought. So he did the only thing reasonable, he knocked Hinamori unconscious and safely landed on the ground.
"You don't need to hit the poor girl so hard, Hitsuguya-taicho," said Gin. Toshiro said nothing as his reiatsu flared around him. "I told you if you made Momo bleed, I'll kill you myself," said Toshiro. The two captains drew their kantanas and charged forwards to meet their opponent. After a few vicious blows from Ichimaru, Toshiro said "Get out of here Izuru because if you stay here, I can't guarantee that you won't be killed." And with that, he took to the air. "Soten Ni Zase, Hyorinmaru!" Then a huge dragon flew towards Ichimaru as he readied himself against the Child Prodigy . . .
*2 Days Later)
This is it, thought Yoruichi. Just yesterday the Central 46 issued a new order that Kuchiki would be executed in one day's time. That meant Ichigo had achieve his bankai by tomorrow. The others were captured and who knew where Kurohime was now, she had shifted back into a cat after discarding her clothes in a flash before Yoruichi could see anything. Man, she got good at that.
So tomorrow was the day, I thought. Tomorrow was the day where everything will be revealed, why the execution dates keep changing, who killed the bastard Aizen . . .
o yeah srry 4 short chapter but hey next week is the end for the Soul Society Arc. Review so you can tell me which arc to move onto. Bount or Arrancar? Toodles!
