Chapter 5-frontpage story
Ichigo walked in to the Seireitei and after putting away the camping equipment he went to deliver the report to the head captain, on his way there he felt something run in to him and push him down after he got up he looked behind him and saw lieutenant Isane siting on the ground with papers surrounding her Ichigo helped her up and started to pick up the papers, "are you ok?" Ichigo asked giving her the papers
"I'm ok" she said struggling with the paper
"do you want me to help you?" Ichigo asked
"no I'm going to give head captain some of captains Unohana's patient reports, I couldn't ask you to go out of your way" she said
"I am going to see the head captain now so it is no problem" he said taking some of the papers
The two were walking to the squad 1 barracks when Ichigo came up with a question, "do you take care of captain Unohana's patients?" he asked
"yes I do tend to some of captain Unohana's patients" she said
"so did you take you care of captain Hikaru?" Ichigo asked
"yes I did take care of captain Hikaru" she said
"so you've seen him without his mask, I have always wondered what he looks like under there can you tell me?" he asked
"well…." She started to blush
"does he have scars?" Ichigo wondered
"no he was….handsome" she said looking embarrassed
He was going to ask her more questions but they reached the squad 1 barracks and had to part ways after Ichigo had reported to the head captain he went back to the barracks and was greeted with squad members panicking and running about, Ichigo shouted at them to stop which caused them to look at him, "what is going on?" he asked
"we don't have a front page story and the newsletter has to be out tomorrow" a squad member said looking stressed
Ichigo started to think when he remembered the conversation he had with Isane, "I'm going to get Hikaru to take off his mask" he said
"that will be front page worthy that could get a double page spread" the squad member said
"good get me a cameraman I'm going to see Hikaru" Ichigo said
Ichigo walked in to the squad 5 office to find Shuhei doing paperwork and Hikaru sleeping on the sofa, Ichigo walked in, shushed Shuhei and went up to Hikaru with the cameraman behind him he reached for the mask and when he was about to touch the mask Hikaru grabbed Ichigo's wrist, "do not touch my mask" Hikaru said not even opening his eyes
Ichigo withdrew his hand, "I just need one picture of you without your mask for the front page of the newsletter" Ichigo explained
"no way but you could talk to everyone in squad 12 and create an artist's recreation of my face" he said
"now go away" Hikaru said going back to sleep
Ichigo took Hikaru's advice and talked to everyone in squad 12 that had seen Hikaru's face, about 3 people, and got an artist to create a portrait of what Hikaru should look like.
Ichigo got the portrait to the newsletter editor and it was good enough to get the front page, after he had delt with the newsletter he went in to the office to find Rukia at his desk doing his work, "what are you doing?" he asked
"I'm doing all your work since you've been gone all day" she said
"I was helping the newsletter get a front page story" I told her
"well I have to look over these stories for the newsletter and decide which one will get in, which is your job" she said, "I don't even know why you want me as a lieutenant"
"well you've been with me through everything and I felt I needed you through this" Ichigo told her
"that's ok but what is Byakuya going to think about me changing squads" she said worried
"why do you care what he thinks, I never really liked him" Ichigo said
"he is my brother of course I care what he thinks of me" she said getting up
"well I think you care a bit too much" Ichigo said on the border of shouting
"what is your problem with him?" Rukia asked now shouting
"well there was that time he was going to let you DIE!" Ichigo shouted the last part
"why can't you get over that, I'm fine" she shouted at him
"how are not still mad if I wasn't there you would've been killed" he shouted back
"I would have found a way out" she said under her breath
"I doubt that you are useless without me" Ichigo said under his breath
"did you call me useless, you're the one who is useless without me I doubt you could survive a day without me by your side, you need me" she shouted
"you think so I bet I could do better without you here" he shouted
"well if you think so we'll see because I'm leaving" Rukia shouted slamming the door on the way out
Ichigo sat at his desk and tried to do work but he couldn't focus after the fight he had with Rukia so he went in to the forest and started to cut down trees with Zangetsu he had cut down a good number of trees when he heard, "how you doing?"
Ichigo turned to find Hikaru walking up to him, "what are you doing here?" Ichigo asked
"I know you had a fight with Rukia and I came to see if you were ok" he said sitting on a stump
"how did you know that?" Ichigo asked
"I have spy drones everywhere, what do you think this mask is for?" he told Ichigo
"well what is happening right now?" Ichigo asked
"Rangiku is at her desk crying and Isane is getting changed" and that's when Hikaru zoned out
Ichigo flicked him on the head to bring him back, "are all your drones pointed at hot busty women?" Ichigo asked
"no some of them aren't busty, like Soi Fon she is so nimble and Momo is quite interesting" Hikaru said, "I also have one pointed at you"
"you are a real perv but you can see that the fight was Rukia's fault and she should apologise to me" Ichigo said sitting on a stump
"you're going to apologise to her" Hikaru told him
"why should I she's the one who needs me" Ichigo said crossing his arms
"you both need each other and you're in love with her" Hikaru told him
"how would you know that?" Ichigo asked
"I have spy drones everywhere, I publish this stuff go to the library you will see" Hikaru said
"if I were in love with her I couldn't do anything I'm her captain" Ichigo told Hikaru
"she is in to you as well otherwise she would have fought harder to stay as Jushiro's lieutenant and did you see the look on her face when she became you lieutenant" Hikaru explained
"are you sure?" Ichigo asked nervous
"I'm a scientist we're always sure" Hikaru said laughing, "now go apologise while Rangiku runs some errands this is interesting"
Hikaru leaned back as Ichigo ran to find Rukia, he found her not to far from him freezing and smashing trees with Sode no Shirayuki, "what do you want?" she asked smashing another tree to bits
"I'm sorry" Ichigo said swallowing his pride "I need you and I can't do anything without you"
"do you really mean that?" she asked not convinced
"yes we need each other and without you I'm useless" Ichigo told her sincerely
"well ok" she said softening up, "see I told you ,you couldn't survive a day without me, come on we need to get back to the barracks"
The two made it back to the barracks before nightfall and went to their separate rooms and slept.
Aizen's cell
"focus, if you are going to escape then you have to reform me" Kyoka suigetsu said
"I am focusing do not rush me" Aizen said sitting on his cell floor trying to reform his sword and regain his spirit energy
"I will be on the top" he thought to himself "I will destroy the captains and Ichigo before I kill the soul king"
"for now focus on reforming me" Kyoka suigetsu told him
End of chapter 5
Well Aizen is almost out but a lot will happen before that, so play nice Hikaru has those spy drones everywhere
