Such a touching scene before. Time for more fighting. I do not own Bleach, characters or locations.
~9th squad barracks~
"Hisagi! I'm telling you there's someone nearby." Ayame was trying to get Hisagi to move from the spot he had been standing in for the past 15 minutes.
"I don't sense anything." Hisagi was trying to find what Ayame was talking about, but found nothing.
"You're too tense to find me." Hisagi turned to find an Espada standing behind him. He looked familiar to Hisagi. "You seem confused, Hisagi-Fukutaichou."
Hisagi knew who he was facing. It was his former Taichou. Tosen Kaname. "Tosen...Kaname" Hisagi drew his zanpakutou, but was hesitant.
"I discarded that name long ago. I am now Moth." He unfurled his wings and sent a gust of wind at the two shinigami.
Both were lifted into the air and landed on their feet in the courtyard that was behind them. "Alright Espada. You asked for a fight you've got it." Ayame pulled her hair into a pony tail and drew her zanpakutou. She saw that Hisagi wasn't ready to fight. "Join me when your ready." She flash stepped towards Moth and began fighting him.
"What am I doing?" Hisagi asked himself.
'Keeping me away from the fun.' Kazeshini grumbled at his master. 'She knows how to have fun. Why can't you be like her?'
'I can't fight Tosen-Taichou.' Hisagi's grip loosened on his zanpakutou. 'And I'm scared you'll hurt someone.'
'I won't hurt anyone if you don't let me, and he said himself, he is not Tosen-Taichou. He is the Espada that took over him. Don't you remember killing him the first time round.' Hisagi thought about what his zanpakutou said. 'And I'm sure you're fine with fighting Hollows. Plus I don't think you can kill that girl. She's scary at times, and tougher than you are.'
"Kya!" Hisagi's head snapped up. Moth had his arm through Ayame's stomach. He pulled his arm out and grabbed Ayame by her throat.
"Not bad, but not good enough."he had his other hand aimed at Ayame's heart. He moved it, but when he extended his arm it was missing from the elbow on. "Hmm?"
"I won't let you kill her." Hisagi held Ayame.
Moth looked and saw he was missing his other arm as well. "Haha. So you've decided to fight. I see you've changed." New arms grew were the old ones were.
"Ayame. This is my fight." Ayame looked at the serious look Hisagi had in his face. "Reap, Kazeshini."
"Okay. Don't die." She kissed his cheek and took a few steps back before sitting on the porch and slamming Kagami into the ground to get rid of her injuries. "Don't be afraid to fall into madness. All you need is something to pull you out of it." She smiled as she watched Hisagi cross Kazeshini in front of himself. "That's what you do for me." She spoke only loud enough for herself to hear.
"This is were you die, Moth." Hisagi's serious face grew into a maddened smile.
'What is he doing?' Moth was creeped out by his former Fukutaichou's face. This was not the man he remembered.
"Bankai! Shi no Ibuki!" Hisagi was shrouded by smoke. He ran towards the Espada in front of him.
~Hospital: Toshiro's room~
The young Taichou opened his eyes slowly and almost passed out from heat. 'Why is it so hot?' He looked beside him and saw Karin asleep beside him. 'No wonder. She must have been worried, or angry.' He slowly shook the girl beside him. "Karin. Karin wake up." Seeing that she wasn't going to wake up he let more of his Reiatsu out to counter Karin's heat.
"Why is it so cold in here?" Karin slowly opened her eyes. Then she remembered where she was and blushed deep red. She looked at the white haired Taichou that was staring at her with an amused expression on his face. "Toshiro!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and ended up on top of him from her momentum.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" He wrapped his arms around Karin's waist. Not caring that he was blushing a little and smiling at her blush.
"I'm fine, now that I know you're okay." She had almost caused her injuries to be life threatening when Toshiro had collapsed 10 minutes earlier. She leaned down and kissed him. She was so relieved that he was alright.
"Karin. I know this might be sudden...and I know you haven't finished high school yet,...but...would you consider...becoming my...wife?" Toshiro was embarrassed to ask, but he knew he wanted to marry Karin. He had known since their first kiss almost six months ago.
"Toshiro." Karin had expected him to say girlfriend or lover, but wife. She didn't know what to say. 'Why am I not saying yes?!' She yelled at herself for her own hesitation.
"I'm not asking for an answer. I just wanted to tell you what I felt." Toshiro was scared she would reject him, but he didn't want to lose her.
Karin kissed the blushing Taichou. "I will answer your question with a question." Toshiro looked at her with confusion. Karin blushed and whispered in his ear, "Can I have your family name?"
Toshiro's eyes widened at the realization of what the question ment. He rolled Karin onto her back. "Of course you can." He kissed her passionately. They only stopped when they heard someone at the door. They both looked to see two Kurosakis in the doorway.
"Karin's getting married!" Yuzu was jumping in circles and clapping her hands. Isshin leaned on the door frame behind his daughter.
Both Karin and Toshiro blushed a deep red. They disentangled themselves and sat on the bed facing the two.
"Isn't this wonderful. You were saying Toshiro should just ask Karin already." Yuzu said to her father as she continued to spin around from the excitment about hearing the proposal. She wasn't paying attention to the mood In the room.
Toshiro and Karin looked at Isshin. He was smiling at the two. "I'm not asking for grand kids yet, but you two have my support and my blessings." Both shinigami were surprised by the man's response. "I never thought the day would actually come when I would have to give away one of my little girls. But I'm glad it's to a man like you, Toshiro." Isshin remembered when Hitsugaya was his 3rd seat. He knew how reliable a man he was.
Toshiro smiled at his former Taichou. "Thank you Isshin."
Isshin held his hand up. "No. It's dad now." He knew how that would affect Toshiro.
Karin saw tears forming in the corner of Toshiro's eyes as Toshiro responded, "Thank you, dad." Karin hugged her fiancé And kissed his cheek.
"I'm so planning your wedding. How does Fire and Ice sound?" Yuzu hadn't payed attention to the conversation.
"Nice Yuzu." Karin shook her head at her twin's enthusiasm. She hoped she wouldn't go too overboard.
"That sound great. Toshiro the Ice Prince, and Karin the Fire Princess." Isshin was now encouraging Yuzu's enthusiasm.
"No!" Karin and Toshiro did not like the idea of a Royal wedding theme.
"Fine, but I'm sticking with Fire and Ice as the theme." Yuzu was determined to plan the perfect wedding.
"Excuse me." Orihime spoke in a quite voice. "What just occurred that would cause such a disturbance in my hospital?" She was standing in the doorway with an almost killing aura around her.
One that Yuzu was oblivious to. "Karin and Toshiro are getting married!" She walked closer to her aunt.
"Oh I see." Orihime took her niece's hands. "Yay! They finally figured out their feelings for each other!" Orihime and Yuzu started jumping in circles and screaming like school girls.
Isshin, Karin, and Toshiro all sweat dropped.
Isane walked through the doorway to see what all the noise is about. "T-t-Taichou! Inoue-Taichou. This is a hospital. We need to keep our voices down." The situation felt awkward to her, having to tell that to her Taichou.
"Oh right. I forgot." Everyone in the room sweat dropped at Orihime's comment.
"Leave it to my wife to forget the rules of her own hospital." Ichigo walked into the room.
"Ichinii! How're the eyes?" Karin hadn't heard about what happened to her brother until she saw him in one of the rooms and asked him what he was doing. Toshiro looked at Karin wondering what she was talking about.
"There fine. The effect wore off about an hour ago. Kurotsuchi wanted to test if his drug that's suppose to mimic the effect worked, so I've been hiding." Ichigo was glad the crazy Taichou didn't dare venture into the hospital.
"So that means you can fight?" Yuzu asked knowing how much her brother wanted to protect Soul Society and his friends.
"No. I get black outs every 10 minutes that last for about 15 minutes. Their getting shorter but it's annoying." Ichigo seemed disappointed, but he hugged his wife, or at least who he thought was his wife.
"It's nice to see you appreciate your old man son. You've obviously lost your sight again." Isshin hugged his surprised son back. Ichigo caught his dad off, but to no avail. Everyone in the room was laughing at the two men.
~Hisagi~
"To think you could master Bankai. And aslo find a way to fight with your zanpakutou." Moth had, had to regrow his arms several times. It was taking longer for them to regrow.
"I just picked up a trick." Hisagi cut off the arms that had just regrown surprising Moth, who had lost sight of him. He had achieved Bankai a while ago, but now it felt like he had mastered it and the madness that it gave off. He smiled at the Espada then evaporated into smoke.
Moth couldn't tell where the shinigami had gone, but found out when pain exploded from his back and his wings fell off. "Let's play a little." A voice came from the smoke around him. He fell to the ground and saw his legs still standing in front of him. Moth looked at his chest to see the blade of Kazeshini buried there.
Hisagi rematerialized out of the smoke. "End of the line."
"Not quite." Mothe let off a Cero that forced Hisagi to back up. Which gave him enough time to regrow his legs quickly. "I've figured out your Bankai." He grabbed Hisagi by his throat and held him off the ground. "You can create smoke and can move faster, giving the illusion of you becoming smoke. Other than that there are no other differences between your Shikai and Bankai."
"Nope." Hisagi smiled as cracks formed on the Espada's skin. "You're right up to a point. The smoke is a poison. It causes death to whoever breaths it that does not have Kazashini's mark on them." Moths arms began disintegrating. "This isn't an illusion. This is your death, Moth." He snapped Moth's wrists which turned to dust.
"You win. Justice is served." Moth disintegrated into dust and was blown away by the wind. He smiled at his former Fukutaichou, proud of how far he had gotten. Tosen had planned to tell him why he had betrayed him, but he decided this way was better.
Hisagi sealed his zanpakutou and walked to Ayame. "Thank you." He picked her up and kissed her. They broke their kiss when they heard a loud crashing sound. "What was that? It sounded like it cams from 1st squad barracks."
"That's Renji-kun's Reiatsu! If Renji is there then Rini is as well! We have to hurry!" Ayame pulled Hisagi behind her.
"Why do we-" he didn't need to ask. He felt Aizen's Reiatsu. He picked up Ayame and flash stepped towards 1st squad. He also felt multiple other Reiatsus. More than half were growing fainter.
