So sorry for the late up-date, just had a hectic life so far! but thank you to everyone who reviewed and alerted!
__________________________________________
We can't meet outside. We can't meet or people would talk. People here always talk, about you it'd be bad for your name. For you it'd be bad for your title. For that we can't meet each other- where people would see us.
We can't hold each others hand, we can't kiss, we can't look into each others eyes, we can't tell the other how much they mean to us. But- to us, that doesn't matter.
We still do it.
Within our minds, our worlds of ice. We mingle together- and become one.
"Hitsugaya-taichou!!!"
"What is it Matsumoto" he is working on his mountain load of paper work, looking angrily up at his lieutenant
"Can I go out drinking tonight?"
"No!"
"But taichou!!!! I can't survive without alcohol! You know that!"
"I do and I don't care, your going to finish your work Matsumoto!"
"Taichou! You're so mean! you need to find yourself a girlfriend already!"
"Shut up and get back to work!" crossing her arms the strawberry-blonde pouts and storms out of his captain quarters.
He sighs and closes his eyes, blocking out the world and it's troubles. He goes to one place, deep within himself there he finds her.

"You two, what have you been doing"
"W-we're sorry Kuchiki-fukutaichou"
"I asked you to hurry with those things!"
"Y-yes ma'am"
"Go!" with a wave of her hand the shinigami shunpoed away and out of her wrath. Today was a stressful day, the shinigami seem restless as their captain, her captain seems to be getting better from his illness, little by little Ukitake-taichou doesn't need to rest for hours on end, no longer does he need to take his medicine and take it easy.
Everyone in their squad is restless for him to get better, and with that she is stressed with happiness and fatigue.
As lieutenant of the thirteenth squad, she had her work load doubled even tripled as of late and no time to rest for her own sake.
"I can't mope around like this! I need to do my best!" she mentally pushes herself to push her limits of workload but as ignorant as she is, she ignores it.
"Hey Rukia!"
"Renji!"
"Have you heard the news?"
"Hmm? What news?" grinning like a fool, the redhead beamed at his friend a bright blush aligning his cheeks
"I got a girlfriend!"
"What?!"
"I wanted you to be the first person I told, but can you believe it Rukia! I have a girlfriend!"
"W-wow Renji- congratulations!" a smile on her face she is happy and proud of him.
"Thanks! I can't wait to see everyone's faces when they see me! I'm going to be the talk of the town!"
"I bet but don't get to ahead of yourself, nii-sama won't be happy with you if you slack on your work" she advised, knowing Renji well but her brother even better
"Yeah yeah I got it, well I got to go now! Go see my girl!"
"Take care"
"You too, oh and Rukia?"
"Hmm?" she looks to her old friend as she grinned down at her,
"Get yourself a boyfriend!" and off he runs, not letting her speak back. But what could she say to that- she closes her mouth and instead walks into her quarters, closing the door to the world and it's troubles. She goes to one place, deep within herself there she finds him.

Figures of white and black walk without halt through snow and ice, a world filled with pure white.
"They're here master" Hyourinmaru speaks in his deep voice, his light blue orbs looking down at the two, he and his master wait for always.
His lover and her Zanpakutou….no- not lover, she deserve more than to be called his master's lover, she deserves to be called by her name. Kuchiki Rukia, the woman who tamed his master, the one woman who could warm his master's cold heart and know just how cold his ice could be.
She was snow, and he was ice. They understood one another- in a way only they could for the other.
"I know"
"Up there again Toushiro?"
"I like the view up here" looking down at the girl from behind, a nod to Hyourinmaru and the dragon disappeared.
"Sode no Shirayuki"
"I know" with a smile of her lightly painted lips, the white sword disappeared leaving her master and her lover alone.
"Should I come up or are you coming down?"
"Join me?" without another word, she appeared beside him, high on the mountain overlooking their world of ice and snow, Rukia leaned on Toushiro's shoulder.
"You don't look happy"
"It's been stressful, Matsumoto doesn't do her work and is always bothering me to go out and drink"
"That sounds like her" a smile found its way on the small girl's face, when the pressure of something leaning on her head made her smile bigger
"How are you doing fukutaichou of the thirteenth squad" a smile of pride on his lightly tanned face, as he tore his gaze from his world and onto his woman.
"Tired"
"Why" worry laced within his voice, a tone only she could tell.
"Ukitake-taichou is getting better but he's still not quite there yet, my entire squad is feeling the same pressure but, I feel like I have it worse"
"…"
"I'm about to break Toushiro" closing her eyes, a knot in her brow- he could tell she didn't want to feel this way but, this pressure was unfamiliar to her and her body wasn't used to it yet
"I wish I could do something, I really do" but as captain of another squad, he could do nothing.
"I know you do" looking up at him from where she leaned her head, softly she kissed him.
A light feather of gentle snow on the first day of winter, sweet and yet so chillingly cold- always sending a shiver down his spine. Toushiro loved Rukia's kisses, and he would always show her.
Pressing his head down, holding her in his arms, Toushiro returned her kiss with icy passion.
Harsh like the winds of a would be long winter, cutting and biting and yet caressing her in ways only he could. Rukia adored Toushiro's lips, they were all that she needed to keep her from breaking.
Breaking apart slowly, reluctantly needing air, turquoise orbs gazed into amethyst eyes.
"For now, this is enough"
"Then my only regret is not being able to kiss you more" he smiled, a smirk only she knew; teasing and childlike
"You'd like that wouldn't you" she teased back, giving a smile only he saw on her face.
"I'd love that" outside their world of ice and snow, he would have never looked for affection from anyone. He pushed everyone away and let them watch him from afar, but here- with Rukia….he could yearn for her all he wanted.
And she would happily give him anything. For, she knew Toushiro would give her anything she wanted as well.
Here in their world of their own ice and snow, they could be the couple they couldn't be outside where people could see them. Where people could talk. Where his title could be tainted and her name tarnished.
"You're a pervert you know that"
"Only with you" a blush on her cheeks, she let him kiss it away as she let out a content sigh
"I love you, you know" he stops and looks her in the eyes, and sees she's serious. He loves that about her, her need to be cold and soft when she wanted to be- just like snow.
"I know, I love you too" he's young and anyone would tell him, she's just a passing crush. This isn't love he's feeling just curiosity and lust. No- not with her, never with Rukia. Hitsugaya Toushiro knows he's young, inexperienced in things others older than him- including Rukia, aren't.
But- none of that matters, because deep within him what he feels with her, isn't fake. Toushiro knows he loves Rukia.
Taking her hand he forms a circle of ice around her wrist, in the form of a promise to her in a way only he could show- in a way only he knew how.
White crystal, silver stones and cold ice, she loves it.
"I love you Rukia" a blush on his cheeks, rarely he says it first and each time a pink tint aligns his cheeks, she loves that about him. His childish features on his grown spirit.
"I love you Toushiro" she kisses him, gently and soft- like snow.
In their world of ice and snow, cold and isolated from everything and everyone, it is only them.
________________________________________________
Orbs of light and soft blue stood beside the other, in their world of cold white.
"My master is happy"
"Yes, as is Rukia"
"I'm glad"
"As am I" looking at the other, Hyourinmaru and Sode no Shirayuki continued to watch from afar, the love their masters shared for each other making the snow fall around them, dancing on the wind it brought.
Both swords were glad, their masters had found someone to share the cold with.
___________________________________________________
Me- nya! How was that! After watching the zanpakutou filler arc I thought this would be so perfect!
Of course Hyourinmaru and Sode no Shirayuki are just friends and comrades! It's all about the love between Toushiro and Rukia here!
So! Please read and review your thoughts kay? Hopefully I'll up-date faster before my HitsuRuki mojo decides to disappear on me ne?
