Toushirou POV
By the time I arrived back at Urahara's Shop, the only people left talking were Kurosaki, Urahara, and Shihoin. They all looked at me when I walked in and I resisted the urge to blush in embarrassment.
I gulped, I wasn't here to be embarrassed I was here to save Karin. To get a gate open no matter what the cost. Kurosaki glared at me before asking, hateful, "What do you want?" I crossed my arms, having a sudden need to shout at him. But I didn't I breathed in deeply and looked at Urahara, "Open a gate."
His jaw dropped, "A gate? To where?" I snorted and narrowed my eyes, "To a candy shop. What do you think I'm talking about? To Hueco Mundo! Open a gate now." It occured to me that I was acting like a child my demanding things like this and I blinked at my own stupidity. All these years trying to get people to see me as an adult. All these of waiting to get taller, and getting my wish. Wasted, because I was deciding to act like a spoiled child...Oh God. What would my reputation be next?
Hopefully I was just overthinking things and I was the only one who saw me as childish. Urahara blinked. Twice, "You're being awfully irrational, Captain Hitsugaya. What's gotten into you? I would expect this from Ichigo but not from you."
I scowled, "When I say open a gate, Urahara, I mean open a gate. You should know from my Lieutenant by now that I'm not very patient." Kurosaki laughed and I looked up to glare at him, but he wasn't laughing at me. He was laughing at Urahara, "See! I told you someone would end up coming with me! You can't say that I'm going alone now!"
My lips curved upwards slightly in a smirk, "So, are you going to listen to me or am I going to have to freeze the room over?" Urahara held up his hands in defense, "Calm down! If you're really sure about this I'll open the gate. But when you die I'm not going to be held responsible."
I clenched my jaw, "I'll be damned if I let anything get in my way. Your warnings of death don't scare me so open the gate."
He gaped at me, they all did. I shook my head in exasperation, "You act as if I've never rushed blindly into unknown dangers and battlegrounds. Because you know I was left on the floor to die when Aizen first turned and almost lost an eye the night before I found out. And you know I stabbed Hinamori through the heart and got basically cut in half in the same day. And I was in a coma just yesterday. Everytime I come close to dying isn't going to change me. I rush into battle to protect others, not to secure my own lifeline. So if you don't open the damn gate right now, I swear to God I will kill you and open it myself."
That seemed to change his mind on hesitating to let us pass into Hueco Mundo...Kurosaki still gaped at me and Shihoin smiled. I sighed at Kurosaki's stupidity, "Close your mouth Kurosaki. I risked my life once for Karin I'll do it again."
He closed his mouth and gulped, then glanced to Shihoin, "Say Toushirou..."
"It's Captain Hitsugaya."
"Yeah, yeah...You know how you saved Karin from falling earlier? Yeah, um, thanks..."
I glanced at him only a head taller than me now, "You're welcome."
He blushed, "Um, something random here...Can you?...Can you tell who I like? I mean everybody says they see it. And you know, if you can see it, it makes you more observant than I originally thought. And that means you care what's going on around you and..."
"Shut up...I can tell you who Yuzu likes. And in my opinion that's a lot harder to see than your crush on Rukia."
His face glowed red, "You didn't have to say out loud!" I smirked, "Why shouldn'y I say it out loud only Rukia doesn't see it. Everyone else knows. The only reason Rukia doesn't see it is because she thinks she's stupid for thinking you could like her back."
"It is NOT that obvious! Wait what? Did you just say that Rukia likes me? That's impossible... Wait. What did you say about Yuzu having a crush on someone?"
I shook my head, "I pay more attention than you thought I did."
He grinned, "Yeah well I'm not as stupid as you think I am."
I closed my eyes, "Yeah well I guess you have to prove me wrong on the way to saving Karin. After all it is a long trip aheadof us."
He sighed, "Nobody ever believes me when I say I'm not stupid." He slumped down after saying it as if he was depressed.
I resisted the urge to laugh, "You're not stupid you're dense there's a difference. Stupid is when you only see right now and yourself. Dense is when you can't see the obvious things right in front of you."
He sighed again, "I don't see the difference. Cause if you're dense doesn't that automatically make you stupid? Since you can't see past right now and yourself you're not seeing the obvious life that's better and right in front of you."
I rolled my eyes, "I see your point. Maybe you are stupid. But as I said before: Prove me wrong."
I actually found myself wanting to see or hear something smart come from Kurosaki. I seriously hoped he would prove me wrong.
OMG Guys they're getting along! That is not what I expected!
