Too Little Too Late



“Hitsugaya Toushiro is a threat to the very existence of Soul Society and every being there within while in the hands of Ichimaru Gin. Therefore it has been decided that he is to be executed immediately upon sight.”

“As well, it has also been decided that Kira Izuru will be executed for assisting the traitor Ichimaru Gin.”

Eerie silence rained over all upon hearing the words Yamamoto had to say like they hadn’t heard them at all. However, it was more likely that the occupants of the room were too surprised by the words that they knew not how to react at first. Despite that, once everything sunk in the room exploded into what Yamamoto could say was just millimetres short of chaos and in truth he had expected nothing less, but that didn’t mean he would let his Taichou and Fukutaichou react in such a fashion.

“This is an outrage!”
“How can this be the decision!”
“It’s all for Soul Society.”
“How is it good for Soul Society to lose another Taichou!? Can you answer that question, bastard?!”
“……………..”
“They can’t execute Kira……..he must have been controled! He’s loyal to Soul Society…….he…he wouldn’t do something like that willingly!”
“Of course the blonde brat would betray us! You’re blind if you haven’t seen how he has eyes for Ichimaru alone!”
“Shut the hell up!”
“What did you say to me!”
“He didn’t even know what he was so why should he suffer the ultimate punishment!”
“The boy needs to be brought back for observation. An opportunity like this can’t be wasted!”
“He deserves what he gets if he wasn’t even willing to fight back…..”
“What makes you think he was even given a chance!”
“He’s a Taichou. He should have been able to defend himself.”
“Well he couldn’t asshole thanks to Soul Society!”
“What did you say?!”
“There has to be another way……there just has to!”

He watched them carefully for a moment as voices rang loud, some louder than others and he was interested to see the varying responses to his statement. Though he could say that some of what his subordinates had to say came as a surprise to him others he expected nothing short of what was screamed at him. He shut his eyes with a sigh and moved his hand to his staff as he picked it up and slammed the end of it into the floor with a resounding bang, “SILENCE!” he yelled and it went silent once more.

“I will not tolerate the noise coming from all of you like you were mere toddlers. You are my elite and I expect you to take this decision like any other that has come before it as the Shinigami you’re ranked for. If there is something any of you need to say than it may be said one at a time, is that clear.” He said sternly eyes open once more and pinning all his subordinates with his resolute gaze. He looked around the room taking in all the mental states of his Taichou and Fukutaichou stopping to rest on a few individuals in particular.

“Matsumoto Fukutaichou, Ukitake Taichou, Hinamori Fukutaichou it appears that you have something to get off your chests.” Yamamoto said watching the three carefully as they stood silent, but trembling and it was clear to the old man that they were having trouble processing the decision. Matsumoto bit her lip hard enough to make it bleed lightly looking resolutely at the floor while Hinamori wrapped her arms around herself and sunk to her knees in tears as Unohana Taichou moved to her side, “Not S….Shiro-chan and Kira-kun too….” She sobbed.

Ukitake stood tall, back stiff even though his shoulder still trembled softly with suppressed emotion. Kyouraku placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze, but his friend refused to look anywhere else but at Yamamoto. The sickly Taichou was about to speak when everyone stumbled under the heavy burst of reiatsu; “This is BULLSHIT!” came an angry howl.

All eyes turned to the back of the room where Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo stood as Yamamoto cleared his throat, “Quiet yourself and your reiatsu Kurosaki or I will have you removed from here by force and locked away until you’ve had time to calm yourself.” He warned, but it wasn’t heeded as wood cracked and splintered around Ichigo’s feet, “I’m not one of your subordinates! You have no control over my actions!” the orange haired teen barked back angrily.

“Sit DOWN and be SILENT!” Yamamoto barked right back startling a few of the others, though it didn’t have the desired effect on the one the order was aimed at. In fact, Ichigo only clenched his fists and continued to glare at the old man, “You can’t just execute someone who’s innocent of wrong and has done nothing but bend to all your commands to protect Soul Society! Just because he can bring power to the enemy doesn’t give you any goddamned right to kill him! He’s NOT a traitor, he was taken against his fucking will!” Ichigo yelled angrily shaking with rage.

“I will not tell you again, boy. Sit down and be silent!”

“NO! I will not stand by and see an undeserving being executed! I didn’t let it happen with Rukia and I refuse to let it happen to Toushiro……to either of those two in fact! You call yourself their commander and yet you kill them at the slightest signs of betrayal…….even if they’ve done NOTHING!” Ichigo’s eyes narrowed as he pointed threateningly at Yamamoto. He started to move forward only to feel a firm hand on his arm stopping him. He turned an angry gaze on the one preventing him from attempting bodily harm only to see that it was Urahara.

“Calm down, Ichigo. You can’t change the decision any more than I can, but that doesn’t mean we have to allow it.” The blonde shopkeeper said as he glanced at Yamamoto from under the brim of his hat, “I’m leaving and taking Ichigo with me. I plan on going into Hueco Mundo whether it’s liked or not. Frankly I don’t know why I allowed myself to be kept here under your orders for so long when I could help bring Toushiro and Kira Fukutaichou back safely. I may even be able to find a solution to this legend he’s wrapped up in without bringing him harm.” He said in a steady tone.

“If that is the way you think then I’m afraid I have no choice but to place the both of you in confinement. The power that boy holds in his body is unstable and the last thing I need is for you to meddle with that. The decision is final. Hitsugaya Toushiro and Kira Izuru will be put to death.” Yamamoto said stubbornly, “And you two will be placed in holding cells until further notice.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hitsugaya Toushiro was bearing down fast on his fifth month of the second trimester and it was now very clear to him that he was actually carrying a living, breathing being inside of him. The tiny creature inside his stomach now moved more definitely and more frequently so that the white haired Taichou could not mistake it for anything but a living child. The truth that small realization brought scared him. He was technically going to be a ‘mother’ and that was a concept completely foreign to the boy.

It took him days to stop flitting about the room in a nervous panic before he eventually decided that it was useless for him to act this way. It didn’t help either him or Kira from figuring out a way to escape and in the end he decided on a couple hours of meditation every odd day to keep himself calm and his head clear. After two weeks of meditating Hitsugaya was relatively back to normal……considering what was happening to him. He eventually moved back to trying to handle his wild mood swings that served to be both entertaining and irritating to him and the other two that occupied the room he was held captive in. This time was no different.

Kira looked up from the paper he was sketching on to watch Hitsugaya dance to a beat only he could here and couldn’t help but marvel at how fluid the other’s movements were considering the size of his swollen stomach. The child-like Taichou twisted and turned gracefully as he spun around on the balls of his feet and moved his hands in hypnotizing patterns. The boy was in a spectacular mood, which Kira was sure would change instantly if something upset the other.

Hitsugaya swayed and stepped lightly over to his side and held out a small, delicate hand to Kira smiling brightly at the other. Kira knew what he wanted and happily obliged his companion as he got up and took the smaller hand spinning the other in his hold. He took up Hitsugaya’s other hand dancing him lightly and swiftly around the room as if he too could now hear the music. They laughed warmly as their feet moved with intricate patterns to the upbeat and unheard tune.

Kira dipped and spun his small ‘dance’ partner around the large room enjoying the rare light-hearted and playful moment. The blonde couldn’t be happier to see the boy smile as if he had no care in the world…….something even more rare with Hitsugaya Toushiro. They stood beside each other bouncing from side to side with their intricate steps before Kira brought Hitsugaya back in to clasp both hands again. They lunged into another step spinning both of themselves in a wide circle that imitated a more eccentric waltz as Hitsugaya bent his spine smoothly into the movement.

To onlookers it appeared as if the steps they took were well rehearsed when the two were merely having fun getting lost within themselves. This is what Ichimaru Gin saw as he stepped into the room to lay eyes on the pair moving gracefully around his large bedroom floor. He tipped his head in amusement at their antics as their movements became sharper with abrupt changes of direction and pull. Their hips rotated and jerked to an enticing beat only they could hear, but Gin could imagine easily and it was almost as exciting as sex for him…….if a little more erotic.

Gin smiled wickedly and raised his hands applauding the two dancing beauties who immediately froze as they were pulled from their little world of mindless fun. The silver haired traitor took pleasure in their heavy blushes at being caught, “Fer someone almos’ five months ‘pregnant’ ya move wit’ a very sinful grace, lil’ one.” Gin purred while Hitsugaya slipped behind Kira with a vicious growl even though his body language showed mild fear. Gin merely continued to smile widely at his two captives moving quickly until he was standing behind Hitsugaya. The foxy traitor wrapped his arms around the boy letting his hands caress the other’s swollen belly enticingly, “Not happy ta see me, lil’ one?” he questioned teasingly.

Despite this Kira couldn’t help but fidget slightly as he felt Hitsugaya tense against his side and he knew another mood swing was taking control of the small Taichou. ‘Happy, angry, sad, shy, murderous, Hitsugaya Taichou is more unpredictable than a real woman!’ Kira thought hoping that the snowy haired genius would have another of his now infamous three-second mood swings. The blonde would rather look after an uncontrollably sobbing mess than a bloodied one any day. Unfortunately for Kira this particular moment was not one of them as the shorter boy exploded.

“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME, BASTARD!” Hitsugaya howled angrily as he spun around lightening fast slapping Gin sharply across the left cheek making the other’s head snap back and too the side with a deafening crack. While he still had momentum from the hit Hitsugaya came back and swiftly slammed his leg into Gin’s side in a surprising show of flexibility. Gin doubled up silently and fell to his knees as Kira finally decided to intervene and drag the violent boy away as quickly as possible.

“Please calm down. Breathe deeply…….it’s not good for you to get excited.” Kira said softly to his struggling bundle. “That traitorous bastard has no right to touch me after what he’s done to me! I can’t take it anymore! I can’t take being stuck here….being used like a toy…..l..like a fucking whore!” He screamed pulling hard at Kira’s hold, “Either he dies or I do!” and in the blink of an eye the white haired boy slipped free of Kira’s grip and ran across the short distance separated him from the silver haired man still sitting on the floor.

Hitsugaya lunged at Gin aiming to strangle the other only to have both his wrists caught in a blur of movement. He screamed his anger and thrashed, “Don’ make useless threats, lil’ one, if ya can’ carry ‘em out.” Gin said lifting his head slowly to stare at the other, red irises gleaming dangerously through narrowed eyes. Hitsugaya jerked back sharply when their eyes met and it only reminded the small Taichou why it was better Ichimaru kept his eyes closed.

Gin rose to his feet gracefully keeping an iron-like grip on Hitsugaya’s small wrists, “An’ here ya were bein’ so obedient.” He chirped in an eerily happy voice for someone who had just been dealt a good one by someone else half his size. Hitsugaya suddenly growled in slight pain as he was lifted off his feet by Gin’s hold on his wrists and before his mind registered what was happening he was being thrown into the air. He cried out in surprise as he came crashing down on his back on Gin’s plush bed.

Hitsugaya was quick to gather his senses and began to scramble backwards to get off the bed only to be pinned down rather forcefully by his left shoulder. “Get off me!” he screamed angrily lashing out with his hands and feet hoping to unbalance Gin from where he knelt over him. He managed to connect a few hits to his assailant doing little damage in his rising panic only to eventually be restrained. His chest was heaving from the strain on his changing body while Gin merely panted lightly, “I think ya need ta relearn yer place wit’ me. Don’ cha think, lil’ one.” the traitor growled though his smile was still present.

Hitsugaya stiffened as wide jade eyes watched the other carefully; fear building quickly once more though his anger was not far behind. He flinched violently when Gin’s fingers stroked through his bangs and down the side of his face in a mockery of affection and kindness only to wrap around his throat in a tight, unforgiving grip. Hitsugaya choked on his breath and started thrashing again. It was at this point that Kira recovered his ability to move and respond to what he was seeing and leapt forward onto Gin’s back with a cry, “STOP! Please! You’ll kill him!” he howled piteously.

“If you kill him you won’t get what you want!” the blonde continued to try and reason with the silver haired man all the while trying to pry Gin’s hand from Hitsugaya’s slender throat. Gin snarled letting go of his hold on the boy’s shoulder to reach up and effortlessly pull the slightly smaller blonde from his back and onto the bed. “I’ve warned ya time an’ again not ta interfere wit’ his punishments an’ still ya prove an annoyance.” Gin said voice low and resonant, “Ya’ve become far ta attached fer my likin’ an’ I think it’s high time ta break ya of the habit.” He laughed darkly as he pressed his other hand down on Kira’s throat just as he was doing to Hitsugaya’s.

Kira was more than afraid now as his own air supply was being cut short, “Wha’ not gonna fight back?” Gin teased as Kira lay still in his hold while Hitsugaya still thrashed about albeit more weakly. The traitorous fox turn his full attention to his former Fukutaichou watching him slowly try to pull in air and calm himself, “Why won’ ya fight like the lil’ one is?” he asked again a slightly curious tone to his voice, but Kira merely shut his eyes forcing himself to calm. He knew he should calm down as breathing would be slightly easier…..if only for a short time and maybe then he would be able to think of something to help them.

Hitsugaya on the other hand continued to thrash around, however, his wild movement was not without purpose at this point. What little air that was still being filtered to his brain allowed him to see a small opening of escape once Gin took hold of Kira as well. Though his gaze was blurring rapidly he could faintly see the tip of Gin’s zanpakutou. The tip of the hilt glinted at him and once Gin had released his hold on his shoulder he started thrashing anew if only to cover up the fact that his hands were inching towards Gin’s zanpakutou.

‘A…..almost have it!’ he thought wildly as the tips of his shaking fingers brushed the hilt, “Come on Izuru fight me! Thrash against my hold!” Gin laughed, “Yer borin’ me, sweetheart!” the traitor was grinning ear to ear clearly enjoying himself to an extent despite what he said. He pressed down more firmly on the blonde’s throat feeling it cave a little more under his brutality, but it was at this point that a small hand wrapped around the hilt of his zanpakutou and pulled it free with surprising force and a strangled cry.

Hitsugaya pulled the short zanpakutou in an upward arch dragging it across Gin’s chest until the sharp tip bit into Gin’s shoulder and torn free just as he began to respond and leapt free with a loud growl. Hitsugaya and Kira rolled onto their sides coughing and gasping for air as Gin looked down at the substantial gash that was now across his chest and shoulder. “Lil’ bitch.” he snarled, his wound bleeding heavily. Hitsugaya pulled himself up onto shaky arms still clutching Gin’s zanpakutou and glaring hatefully at the silver haired man.

“Kira. Get up.” Hitsugaya said his voice hoarse, but the authority was clear as he carefully got back to his feet swaying slightly as oxygen rushed back to his body. Kira shook himself and got up as quickly as he could, “It’s time we leave this place……and this nightmare behind.” The smaller growled even as his legs shook alarmingly. However, they were both surprised when Gin started laughing, “Look at ya…..ya think ya can get outta ‘ere wit’ the condition yer in an’ yer power sealed away. Yer more innocent than I thought.” Gin chuckled darkly staring at the duo with open eyes.

“I cut you up with your own zanpakutou didn’t I.” Hitsugaya shot back too which Gin only smiled more widely, “So ya did, but tha’ doesn’ mean ya can escape from ‘ere…from me. Wake up, baby ya belong ta me an’ tha’ lil’ bundle growin’ in yer belly is mine too. It’s time ta see reality fer what it is.” The other replied sharply, “Now be a good boy an’ come ‘ere.” Gin held out his hand and Hitsugaya tensed. Kira felt apprehensive, but there was that glimmer of light in the dark that said they had a small chance of escaping.

He felt the assurance from the month before when he had mentioned escape to the white haired boy rise to the surface once more, ‘Perhaps we can still get away after all.’ He thought distantly despite the mild doubt. “Not gonna come ta me……then I’ll come ta ya instead.” Gin said darkly and disappeared only to materialize a second later to tower over Hitsugaya who stumbled back in alarm. Gin lashed out and caught the boy’s wrist in a crushing hold yanking him off balance. He pressed down on the small wrist once more in his grip feeling the bones grind together in satisfaction as Hitsugaya gasped in pain and drop the zanpakutou.

It hit the floor with a deafening clang and before Kira knew what he was doing he was moving and snatching up a larger ceramic vase. He was behind Gin in a blink bringing the ‘weapon’ down on their captor’s head with a reverberating crack. Gin shuddered and slumped to the floor, “N…now tha’s……embarrassin’…” the fox whined before passing out on the floor at Hitsugaya’s feet. Hitsugaya blinked dumbly at Kira who blinked dumbly right back at him, “I……..I…..”

“Forget it. I don’t care how you did it….just that you did. Now let’s get out of here I have a feeling he’ll only be out for a few minutes.” Hitsugaya snapped shakily as he picked up Gin’s zanpakutou again and ran to the door. Kira stayed hot on his heels as the small Taichou opened the large door carefully making sure no one was around before taking off down the hall. “We need to be extremely carefully seeing as the most we have going for us is your kido. We can’t afford to run into anyone.” Hitsugaya panted lightly as they turned down another hall after checking for other occupants. Kira only became that much more worried at the fact that the boy was already tiring. The state of his ‘pregnancy’ was not giving much stamina and Kira knew that would only lead them to a recapture.

“Let me carry you, Hitsugaya Taichou!” Kira called carefully to which the other refused out of what remained of his shattered pride. Despite that Kira would not allow the strain Hitsugaya was putting on himself and the ‘child’ and quickly scooped the other into his arms with minor protest in the end. “You’ll only hurt yourself.” Kira said softly as he ran holding onto his ‘bundle’ the best he could despite Hitsugaya’s weight. “Keep your reiatsu down, Kira. Gin may have told Aizen he had you here, but if he senses you running around in the halls he may get curious and come to see what’s going on.” The white haired prodigy warned tersely.

Kira nodded curtly in return doing his best to keep his reiatsu at an undetectable level………or so he hoped. However, he skidded shortly upon hearing the distant echoing of footsteps and began to panic slightly, “Down that corridor.” Hitsugaya muttered sharply and Kira obeyed instantly. He took off down the hall trying to keep his steps light while maintaining a good running speed. He was happy the hall was short and turned around another corner as he ducked out of sight. The blonde dropped down into a crouch cradling Hitsugaya on his bent knees and against his chest.

They were both breathing roughly from their exertions and as the footsteps grew intensely loud to their ears they unconsciously reached over to cover each other’s mouths in an attempt to silence the other. Kira pressed back against the wall as if he was trying to merge with the wall while Hitsugaya buried his face into Kira’s heaving chest. “I could have sworn I heard talking down here.” echoed an annoyed voice with a sigh to follow, “Clean out your ears, idiot.” Was the bland reply.

“I don’t need to clean out my ears, asshole! I can hear just fucking fine!” the other barked growling under his breath, “I know I heard talking.” The deeper voice growled angrily while the other remained silent. After a short while Hitsugaya could pick up one set of footsteps moving off down the hall, but it was clear the other one wasn’t convinced he hadn’t heard anything, “Aizen-sama has requested our presence.” Was finally the reply though it was fading into the distance. “Yah, yah I’ll be there when I’m good an ready.” Was the returning answer.

There was silence after a moment and Hitsugaya could here both his and Kira’s hearts beating loudly with fright, ‘If we’re caught we’ll be taken to Aizen. That’s an outcome worse than death at this point…..’ Hitsugaya thought as he looked up at Kira moving his hand away from the other’s mouth. He jerked his head in the direction the new hallway ahead of them went indicating for them to retreat quickly and silently. Kira was all for that and swiftly rose back to his feet walking quietly down the hall.

Not seconds after he began to move Kira was urged to move faster at the sudden sound of heavy footsteps moving down the other hall, “I know what I heard.” Came a growling voice too loud for their liking, “And I smell some frightened……. RABBITS!” and without warning the wall, inches in front of them, exploded sending debris and dust flying everywhere, “Holy SHIT!” Kira howled in fright as he half jumped, half stumbled backwards before turning away so that most of the debris hits his back.

“Hehehehehe…….Now what do we have here.”



A.N.: ACK! CLIFFHANGER! Dear god I’m a horrible person…………….lol! Well look at that the poor Snowball couldn’t take it anymore and attack Gin. WOOT for excitement! Hehehehe
