Bird of Paradise
~everything is obtained~

The small shinigami stared at the ceiling of the forth division as he tried avoiding the process of thinking. In the back of his mind Hyorinmaru hummed the way only a dragon could the tunes of old songs. In some ways it helped but in others it didn't. The dragon finally spoke to the child. "You know... the Shinigami did in fact win."

"At what cost. The old man is dead. Soifon is in a horrible condition still. Kira is as well. Unohana is dead. Hirako's muttering things backwards may just be his coping mechanism or even his way to cheer people up. Komamura's a doggy. Kyoraku lossed an eye. Hisagi got beat up with the third and fifth seat of the eleventh. Ukitake's illness is acting up. I mean... we won... but our enemy is among us. Many of them survived."

A face suddenly appeared above him and he found his mouth opening in surprise. "You."

"I'm glad you're still able to talk. I actually enjoy that cocky mouth of yours." The man continued to look at the boy. "However, why are you mopping around here? I thought you were tougher then that?"

The boy felt the corners of his mouth turn down at this. "What are you doing here?"

"Your forth division is also healing up us Vandenreich."

"That isn't what I asked." Toshiro moved one of his small hands behind his head. "I mean why are you here bothering me when I am under direct orders to rest."

"My name is Bazz-B. I'm H for 'The Heat'."

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'm trying to make friends with you. Didn't that cocky mouth of yours say that opposites attract?" The man raised an eyebrow. "No response?"

"Fine. I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro, captain of the Tenth division." The boy closed his eyes hoping the man would go away. After a few minutes he opened them again. "You're still here?"

"Seriously... I'm trying to be nice here."

The small taicho sat up and looked the man in the eyes, frowning as he did so. He pushed the bedding aside and let out a sigh. "Yes... well... I am rather uncomfortable being in the room alone with you. After all, you did try to barbeque me. I prefer to be able to eat my barbeque rather then being the meal thank you very much."

The boy got up and walked to the door. The chair Bazz-B had been sitting in suddenly scraped and he turned his head to see that the man was following him. Letting out a deep sigh he continued out the hall. "Where exactly are you going?"

"I want to see Matsumoto."

"Your fukutaicho?" The man scratched his head. "What exactly is your relationship with her? I've seen her and she's rather hot. What's she doing with a scrawny runt like you?"

"Simple. She's in charge of raising me." The words came out of his mouth due to his level of annoyance. The fact the man fell silent caused him to feel rather good. He paused outside one room and peeked in to see four girls around a heavily bandaged figure. Toshiro paused outside the door realizing that they were Quincy.

Bazz-B tapped him on the shoulder. "You don't want to go in there?"

"Why not?" The boy started in the room in time to hear the person in the bed begin to curse Shinigami causing the four girls to look up while the smallest poked the person who was bandaged up causing another string of curses to follow.

"Because you're lucky Basterbine isn't lopping an attack at you." Bazz-B scratched his head.

"Oi..." The girl who was dressed in a scant manner looked up at him. "What do you think you're doing?"

Toshiro pointed his finger at Bazz-B. "It was his idea for Quincy and Shinigami to make friends."

"Excuse me!" The man let out a few choice curse words. "You're trying to get me in trouble, aren't you?"

The small taicho opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped when he saw something that caught his attention. His facial features twisted up from curiosity and he stepped closer to the bed. Bazz-B grabbed the back of his uniform while the girl glared at him. "No... seriously, what do you think you're doing. We don't need your cocky attitude."

Toshiro's eyes were drawn though the purple hair and eyes. The figure in the bed was a girl his age. Without thinking he spoke again. "I know you."

The girl's eye's didn't move. "Stinkin' Shinigami. There is no way..." It was then that she moved her eyes letting out a bunch of curses from the pain. Her mouth remained open though as she looked at the boy. "You... you're a Shinigami."

"Yes... I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro, captain of the tenth division."

"No. That's not your name."

A frown spread across Toshiro's face. "I think I would know my own name."

"Jushiro..."

"No, that's Ukitake's given name."

"No. You're name is Haschwalth Jushiro."

"Umm..." The small taicho felt the atmosphere in the room change. The girl who had been poking the injured girl looked at him with his eyes narrowed.

Bazz-B grabbed the back of Toshiro's uniform and dragged him out of the room. "Idiot."

"What do you mean idiot?"

"Basterbine has a few screws loose. Now she thinks she actually knows you. And that is not a good thing."

"She didn't seem like a bad person." The small taicho didn't know why he said this in particular.

"She doesn't seem." The man with the Mohawk suddenly let out a sting of curses. "Didn't you hear her cursing you out back there? Why aren't you afraid of her?" The two stared at each other. "All right... so you don't know that you need to be afraid of her."

Toshiro turned his head. "Ahh! Here's..." The boy paused, his jaw dropping. "Ichimaru..."

Bazz-B let go of the back of his uniform. "You seem disappointed kid."

"I'm not a kid." Toshiro narrowed his eyes. "I thought you were dead Ichimaru."

"Taicho..." Rangiku took a deep breath from where she was sitting. "Taicho... you need to be in bed. I'll come and visit you when I feel a little better."

"He's stalking me."

"I am not. I..." Bazz-B stopped short, his face suddenly paling when he saw Gin. "You... Haschwalth..."

Gin's eyes opened up. "Hey... you wouldn't happen to be the one who hurt Chibi Taicho are you?"

Toshiro looked up to see Bazz-B with a look of horror on his face. He then turned to Gin. "Knock it off Ichimaru." The boy's eyes narrowed. "Of course, I think I should ask what the deal with that name is. A girl that I think I know for some reason called me Haschwalth Jushiro."

A frown came onto Gin's face. "Wait... you ran into Bambi-chan?

Toshiro looked back to see Bazz-B's interaction. "You... I'm guessing you have an idea what he's talking about? What is the significance of the name Haschwalth."

"Haschwalth Jugram is the letter B."

"The letter B?" Toshiro frowned. "Ahh... the man that looks like Hyorinmaru."

"What?"

"My zampaktuo. I thought when I saw him that he looked like the human form of my zampaktuo." Toshiro turned to leave then. "By to-chan! Have fun explaining things to ka-chan. I'm going to go and visit nee-chan again!"

"Wait... what is going on here?" Bazz-B followed on his heels. "Who are you going to see again?"

"Basterbine? Who else?'

"Wait... I told her that she is a psychopath!"

"Well, with a father like Ichimaru Gin it is no wonder either one of us ended up as messed up as we are."

"Wait..." The man blinked a couple of times.

"You reacted upon seeing that person because if his hair was longer he would look like that Haschawlth person. I haven't a clue what relation they have with each other."

"Are you crazy..."

Instead of answering Toshiro turned into the room. "I'm back."

The girl who dressed in a provocative manner glared at him. "Seriously... go away."

"Jushiro's back."

"I told you. My name is Hitsugaya Toshiro."

"I told you it isn't."

The girl let out a sigh. "Couldn't you have kept him away Bazz-B?"

One of the other female titled her head. "Yeah... but Bambi-chan seems to like him."

"That's what Ichimaru called her." The words came out of his mouth."

"Whose Ichimaru?" The smallest spoke up.

"Someone who looks like a clone of Haschwalth." Bazz-B folded his arms across his chest.

The last of the light haired female's eyes widened. "Wait! He's Bambietta-chan's papa!"

"What?" the girl that was dressed scantly frowned.

"I doubt it. Hey!" The man reached out to grab Toshiro's uniform again as the boy moved over to sit on the bed next to Bambietta but missed as the boy moved. The boy's small hand reached out to gently touch the girl's in a timid manner. When she didn't flinch he held onto it. "You're crazy." The man pointed his fingers. "If you two are siblings and those two are your parents then both of her parents are Shinigami. How can she be a Quincy?"

The girl with the scant clothing frowned. "And he's a Shinigami. How is it possible?"

"Come on kid. You should leave. None of these girls are..." Bazz-B stopped short when he saw the girls glare at him. He then tensed up when a silver haired man appeared next to him.

"It's possible because the Quincy blood line comes from one of the lost noble clans."

"As if I want anything to do with noble families and all that junk."

"Could you let me finish chibi?" Gin let out a sigh. "I don't like him so I left and met Ran-chan."

"That..." The girl dressed scantly frowned. "... that makes absolutely no sense."

The man walked over to the bed and grabbed the top of the boy's head. "And both children of mine need to be resting up, so I ask that these young ladies leave and Shiro-chan come with me so I can put him to bed." The small boy had a miffed look on his face. Gin then looked Bazz-B right in the eye. "And if you harm him again I will kill you personally."
