~A Change In Life~

***Where there is a will, there is a way***

While in Soul Society..

-Toshiro POV-

I walked pass other shinigami to the meeting room.

'What is it about now? Suddenly called a meeting like this.' I was about to search for Karin when suddenly a butterfly fly in to the office and gave me the Sotaicho's command. I have no intention to come but I couldn't disobey Sotaicho. I'm a captain and It's my job.

"Maybe it's about Aizen."

'Aizen.' Just hearing his name made anger. He, a traitor, escaped from his jail 9 years ago. No one know how. It was really a big news that time. Everyone still wondering how he could escaped. That news had caused a commotion that time. Because the weirdest information was he didn't broke anything. Not a single piece of thing he broke. He even didn't broke the jail door or what. Everyone were really frightened that time. All of us could only thought of one thing, He will take vengeance on Soul Society one day. But we still don't know when. Until now, there is still no news or information about where is he or how is he. It is all mystery to us.

I stopped when I saw a door. I opened it and walk inside. The other taichos were already there except Sotaicho. I saw Kurosaki gave me a death glared as always. But I just ignored it. I walked and stood beside Kyoraku-taicho. He saw me and greeted me.

"Hitsugaya-taicho. It has been long, isn't it?" he said while smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes. This man is weird. We have meet almost everyday but he still said it has been long?

"Kyoraku-taicho. We are almost everyday meet each other, and we were just met yesterday. I supposed it's not long." I corrected him.

"We met yesterday? Really? I don't remember." He raised up his head and look at the ceiling while his hand hold his hat, he looks like he think really hard.

I narrowed my eyes. He is always weird. Reminded me of Karin's father, Kurosaki Isshin. They are so alike. But Kyoraku is better than Isshin I guess.

"It is boring." Hyorinmaru suddenly said.

'I agree with you.'

I just sighed. I really want this meeting end quickly. Meetings are always boring.

"Had you hear it, Hitsugaya-taicho?"

I was a little surprised when Kyoraku-taicho asked me but of course I'm not going to show it. But what did he mean by had I hear it. Hear what?

"Hear it? About what?"

"Then you haven't hear about it."

Now, I'm curios. What did he mean by that? Why didn't he just say the main point of it?

"What is it about?"

"It's about a bird with letter." He answer my question.

My eyes widened. A bird! There wasn't a bird in Soul Society! How could a bird at Soul Society? And with letter! I looked in his eyes if he just joking but there was none. He is serious.

"When?" I asked again.

"Yesterday."

I rolled my eyes.

"So that is why we are being called to this meeting."

"Maybe." He just smiled.

"Interesting." Hyorinmaru said in my mind

'It's not interesting, Hyorinmaru. There must be something!' I didn't think it was interesting, I just felt uncomfortable with this.

"I bet it is Aizen that done such a thing." He growled.

'….'

I don't know what I should say about that. But if it is Aizen, then may be the letter is something important. Not only the letter but the bird also important.

After a while, Sotaicho come in the meeting room. Then the door closed. He walked to the front and sit in his chair.

"I see that everyone had gathered here. Now, let us begin the meeting."

"Taicho!"

"What is it, Matsumoto?" I asked coldly. After the long meeting, my mood wasn't good anymore.

"Aww… Taicho… You are so cold…" she grumbled.

"If there was nothing you need to report to me, I suggest you to go back to your work before I freeze you, Matsumoto." I didn't even care what would she think about me.

"You are too cold. I don't think I want to freeze her."

'Just shut up, Hyorinmaru.'

"Taicho! Don't be so cold to me.. I just want to know how was the meeting." She said with her arms akimbo.

"It was longer than I expected." I just simply answered her.

"I want to know what is it about, Taicho!" she grumbled again.

"It is none-" I was about to talked before she cut my sentence.

"Is it about the bird with letter, Taicho?" She asked me again, completely ignored what was I wanted to say before.

I looked at her, slightly surprised that she know about it.

"You are the only one that didn't know about it, Master." Hyorinmaru teased me.

'Shut up, Hyorinmaru. It is not my fault that I don't know about it.' Sometimes Hyorinmaru is really annoying.

"Taicho! You didn't answer me! Is it about that bird or not?" Matsumoto looked irritated when she asked again.

"Ah.."

"What? Is it true?" she gave me a I-don't-believe-what-you-are-saying look.

"Yes, it is." I growled. "But how do you know about it, Matsumoto?

"The entire Soul Society had know about it." she said. "Don't tell me that you don't know about it, Taicho!"

I blushed.

"What! You really don't know!" She laughing.

"I don't say anything!" I am blushing. I know by now my face is as red as a tomato.

"Aww…. Taicho is so cute~~"

Damn! She is teasing me!

I glared at her.

"Matsumoto! Get back to your work now." I said while looking back at my paper. I was trying hard to control my anger. "We still have so-" I was about to finished my sentence when I looked back at her. But she wasn't there anymore! She had disappeared! Again!

A lot of veins popped up at my head.

Maybe she want to see me rage violently. I would surely freeze her with my bankai.

"MATSUMOTO!"
