Opposites 24

Don't fight these arms of mine

NORMAL POV

The room stood in silence. The girls did not say a word to each other as they got ready to go out. The sound of Orihime's tears echoed the room and her small hiccups.

Rukia struggled to properly type in anything on her phone anymore, and Matsumoto's eyes couldn't focus on anything.

All three of them have seen the way Hinamori killed, the way she showed no mercy and the way she yearned for blood.

Flashback

"Haineko. Shirayuki. Hime. I want all three of you to find this girl," ordered Ukitake and showed a picture of Hinamori. Even in her picture, her eyes were emotionless and she stared right at the camera, as if she knew it was there.

"What's so important about her?" asked Shirayuki (Rukia)

"She used to be part of Aizen's group, she's the strongest of them all. The agents that went missing were actually dead. They were killed by only her and no one else. I found bodies of agents in an empty abandoned building in East Rukongai. The bodies were hung from chains, the walls splattered with blood and all the bodies seemed to have gone through days, or maybe even weeks of torture," mumbled Ukitake, his face became pale even after explaining it.

"She's a killing machine?" asked Hime (Orihime)

"She's a monster," sighed Ukitake and handed them the picture

"No problem, we can get her!" assured Haineko (Matsumoto)

Ukitake stayed silent for awhile until he finally spoke up, "The person who took that photo, he's dead too."

The three girls stood still, they felt fear crawling up their skin. Something they haven't felt in years.

"One thing that confuses me is her relationship with Hitsugaya Toushiro," mumbled Ukitake and scratched his head, "They were together during their childhood. Then he lost his memory of her after she offered her heart to save him. He's been off the radar, and he just recently joined the agency. From what I've heard, he's as cold as ice. What I don't get is what really happened between them. What made Hinamori become what she is now."

"We'll find that out Ukitake, you can count on us," said Haineko (Matsumoto)

"Please. Don't die."

The girls walked through alleyways where Hinamori was spotted. They were in luck when they found Hinamori pushing a man against the wall.

"Where is the money?" asked Hinamori knocking his head against the wall

"I swear, I-I-I d-d-don't kno-know!" stammered the man and she smiled.

Showing no mercy, with her own nails, she ripped his throat.

"Look what you made me do, you got my new clothes dirty," laughed HInamori and stared at where the three girls were watching, "No need to hide. I knew you were going to come after me sooner or later."

The three girls saw that the man was still alive, trying to crawl away, the three agents were ready to save him but Hinamori pushed him down with her foot.

"Sorry. But this is my business," said Hinamori and grabbed his head, pulling him down the darker depths of the alley, "I'll be back in a few minutes." She waved and the last thing they heard were endless screams of that man.

When she showed up again, her face was full of blood. Not her's, but the man's.

"What are you planning to do?" asked Matsumoto

"Hm. I don't know. Now that I'm free, more like a runaway from Aizen's agency, I'm kind of happy," laughed Hinamori

"Her eyes. They're not focused on anything, she's going crazy," said Orihime

"Who are you doing this for?" asked Rukia

"Who?" silently asked Hinamori to herself. Her eyes in one small moment showed a glitter of hope, "For him. It's all for him. It's to find happiness."

"We can give you happiness. Just come with us," grinned Matsumoto and was welcoming Hinamori in open arms.

Hinamori slowly falls forward and Matsumoto got there in time to catch her. The next time Hinamori opened her eyes, it wasn't empty and emotionless, but it was full of love and hurt.

"Who are you? What am I doing here? Why's there so much blood?" asked Hinamori in confusion

"Relax. We're here. Don't worry. You're alright," patted Matsumoto as Hinamori let tears of fear from her eyes.

End Flashback

"She needs us more than anything," mumbled Rukia

"She needs Hitsugaya," said Matsumoto, "Ever since the first time we met her. She had Hitsugaya on her mind. She must've been chasing him for years and years."

"We need to tell him now," urged Orihime and the three girls ran out of the hotel.

They reached the hotel the guys were staying in immediately. They told them the problem and the theories and the directions, they stood silently. Hitsugaya didn't move, breathe or say anything. He stood there with his fingers clenched, and anger boiling in him.

"Hitsugaya. Get a hold of yourself, if you lose yourself in rage, it's over. You have to be strong, and be there when she falls," said Matsumoto grabbing his collar and shoved him against the wall, "She's been waiting for you and you don't intend to make her wait even more just because you want revenge on Aizen right?"

"Hell no," glared Hitsugaya and shook Matsumoto off

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get this show on the road," yelled Hisagi and grabbed car keys

"Car keys?" questioned Yumichika

"Oh these. It's a van from the HQ, Ishida and Chad went to pick it up while we were resting. They'll be in the van monitoring everything," said Hisagi

There was certainly a normal looking white van in front of them, Ikkaku opened it to find endless wires, monitors and weapons on the sides.

"What the hell?"

All of them stood there in silence, staring at the inside of the van then looking at the outside.

"Can you guys get in? We don't have all day," said Ishida making himself visible as he showed his face from the wires

"How the hell did you get there?" cried the freaked out Ikkaku

"Just get your ass in here," ordered Ishida and fixed his glasses

They all went in and were surprised that they all actually fit.

"Rangiku-san, the map you sent us was the actual map to the HQ of Aizen's agency, I'm surprised that you got it," said Ishida and continued, "We'll drive you near one of the sewage openings. It's quite far from Aizen's HQ, but if we get closer, the security will be higher. There's a hidden trap door in this van, under all these wires, there's a door on the bottom of the van. We'll situate the van so that it's right on top of the sewage opening, we'll open the bottom door and let some of you through the sewage pipe. But I also want some of you as a distraction, Aizen will probably see this coming so make it seem like people are infiltrating from another door. There's another entry which is at the East door of the abandoned building that was used for big businesses."

All of them nodded and figured out who would go where.

"It seems like everyone's set. We're not different teams like attack or defense, we're one unit. This time, we're not going to leave anyone behind," said Hisagi and nodded at Hitsugaya, "We'll get her out. Don't worry."

"Let's get this straight. Renji, Hisagi, Ikkaku and I are going to be the distraction team, while Rangiku, Rukia, Hitsugaya, Yumichika and Hisagi are going in. That makes sense, but what will Orihime be doing?" asked Ichigo

"She'll be observing," said Ishida and nodded at Orihime, who seemed to know what was happening

"Ishida-kun said that since most of my powers are healing, I'll be at the top of the building watching you all. I'll be monitoring you from there and if you're injured, I can just send my powers down to you, not that hard. Just a new trick I found recently," boasted Orihime and smiled at Ichigo, "I'll be fine. No need to worry about me. Just don't die."

Ichigo smiled and gripped her hand tightly.

"Alright. Operation Rescue is going to start in five minutes. Until then, get your shit together fuckers!" yelled Ikkaku in happiness, "Man. I haven't fought in a long time!"

We'll be there soon Hinamori. Just hold on a bit more.

Hinamori's POV

I can hear them already. They sure like to make a lot of noises, seems like there's going to be a team coming through the sewage, and one being a distraction. How simple. This is too easy.

I want to easily kill them. But my hands aren't moving towards my guns or daggers or swords.

It's moving towards the small light above. I want to go back to that warm light, to those arms that held me years ago.

I want to go back to him.

Who's he? That I don't remember.
