Hide and Seek

Dearest Rangiku,


I have always been annoyed by you. I never understood it. I always thought you were obnoxious and throwing yourself out there because you thought that was only way of showing your true self. But I saw your true self, when no one else was looking. I saw the true colours you wanted to be seen. Even though I didn't realize it then, I really loved those colours.


Please, please listen to what I am about to tell you. I am going back, I have to. I have to go back and finish this or else it will never leave you. You will always be in danger and that is something I do not want. I have taken my sword and am finishing out both of our sentence. Please do not follow, I hope you enjoyed the time we have spent. You have showed me the way to who I am now, even if I didn't seem grateful then....I am now.


Love

Toshiro Hitsuguya


Rangiku let out a loud cry and crumbled the letter in her hands. She couldn't believe this was happening, he was gone and there was nothing she could do about it. She fell to her knees and was surprised when arms wrapped around her. The arms were strong and familiar, when she brought her eyes up to the person it was Grimmjow. He for what ever reason was there, to catch her when ever she was falling.


"You need my help?" He whispered in her ear.


She began to cry as she sank to the ground and wrapped her arms around the sexta espada's neck. He didn't know what to do, he looked around confused and saw Rukia beside her bed gesturing to hug back. But before he even saw her, it hit him what to do. His hands awkwardly laced through her hair and rubbed her gently, cooing her to a calm.

Grimmjow looked up to Ichigo who entered the room, he knew what had to be done. He was an ally to the group, but was still an enemy to soul society. He grinned big and closed his eyes. " hahaha! I know what this is!" Grimmjow exclaimed.


Rangiku stopped crying and pulled away. " What are you talking about." She said sniffling.


"You don't get it!?"


"..."


"Something is up! Aizen is behind this. I know it, I just have the feeling of it. Plu-


"He is right." A voice spoke


They looked up to see Yoruichi in the house with Urahara. The two looked amused in none the slightest.


"He is...Gin came to me in a dream...and told me, a bunch of things but the one things that I know is true that is attached to this is when he said that everyone I love will perish and burn to the ground."


"Fucking fox." Grimmjow spat."Well I know what I am doing, see you in a while." Grimmjow stepped forward and began to walk towards the door way when Urahara tripped him with his cane. Grimmjow caught himself and looked up to Urahara.


"And what could that be?"

Toshiro was in his cell when the doors opened and footsteps approached him slowly, they stopped in front of his cell and there was old man yama.


"I am disappointed in you Toshiro."


"..."


"You were one of my star captains, always on time and always thinking of others in your actions. But this was deliberate insubordination. For that I feel no pity for you-


"Then why are you here commander."


"To tell you your sentence."


Toshiro's eyes opened and he looked up to the commander and watched his movements carefully.


"You will be executed today when the sun is setting and you will be labeled a Trader of-


"Commander if I may?"


"Interrupt me again boy." He scolded.


"Why are things running so wrong of late?" He asked with a grin.


"Wrong?! I am the commander of the-


"Incorrect! Did I stutter? Standard procedure calls for a fair trial, where evidence is shown and time is given to show it. Especially for a captain of the court guard." Toshiro explained in a heightened manner.


"Toshiro you are in no place to make demands." The commander turned and began to walk away.


"When did you drop the security?"


"..."


"You always are guided to wherever." Toshiro questioned.


But the commander did not answer.It was then when the commander left that the ground shook and trembled. Toshiro looked at the window in the other cell, screams and alerts were heard all throughout the chambers, an intruder?

Grimmjow growled and roared his way through the soul society. The buildings crashed and fell to the ground as he pounded through each and every force. He stopped and began to laugh hysterically as blood dripped from his fingers. He looked up to see Izuru wide eyed and pointing his sword unsheathed at the man.


"G-grimmjow?"


"Yes you little butterfly?" He scoffed.


"W-what happen I thought-


"Thought what?! I cared? Pft, I don't even care right now, I am just hear to make a point and you can either listen and help or be against me and die in my way." He almost barked.


"a point?!" Izuru stuttered.


"A point." Another voice chimed in, when Izuru look up to see Ulquiorra there he was surprised.


" Aizen is here and controlling this area."


"A-aizen!?" Izuru's eyes widened.


"Listen! We have to move fast, we have already made an entrance we have to hurry!" Grimmjow growled.


Within seconds Byakuya arrived in front of the easily swayed lieutenant. It was of course a well known fact that Izuru was not one to make the best of decisions. He was a good and ruthless fighter. But Byakuya was not one to let anything pass his way. He glared into the eyes of the Espada, " Grimmjow, you are now in enemy territory. Speak your reasoning for this?"


"As if I would you stuck up prick!" He roared running towards the captain, Byakuya stepped aside dodging the Espada's strike. Byakuya closed his eyes as the Espada glanced back. " The fuck?" He spat.


"You are predictable." Byakuya scoffed.


"Yeah?" He chuckled running away towards the center of the soul society.


Byakuya opened his eyes " Yes." He brought his hand swiftly to his sword and flicked it open. Right at this moment a voice spoke up.


"Do you actually think I would let him come here on his own?" Ulquiorra spoke


Byakuya's eyes widened and he swung the sword upwards swirling pink petals around him. A bright light pierced through storm of pink and sliced the sleeve of the captain. Ulquiorra stepped forward " Think about why we are here and tell me your reasoning." Byakuya glared at the man.


"You are intruders!" He raised his voice flipping his sword around. " Bankai."


"Hm."


Within moments swords appeared around the two " you will be sorry for coming here."


Ulquiorra watched as the swords appeared around him. Izuru finally spoke up " Byakuya! Ai-aizen is here!" He shouted nervously.


Byakuya turned to the lieutenant " ..."


"He is right, I already feel him here." The pale Espada spoke coldly walking past the two.


Byakuya growled under his breath, the swords slowly disappeared. Byakuya brought his sword back in view and quickly struck Ulquiorra down. Ulquiorra gasped falling to his knees. "Ulquiorra, you are under the penalty of the law."


Ulquiorra went to rise to his feet but a loud metal clinking swung around the Espada locking him in place, it was Renji's Zabimaru. It wrapped around him like a snake digging into his skin. Ulquiorra glared at the two and couldn't believe it himself,he was struck down by these two. It then hit him, there powers were draining now that they were away from Aizen that was.

Grimmjow hurried through the alleys of walls, it was so bright in the place. The light reflected off of the walls making his eyes squint a bit. It wasn't long when someone else stepped in his way. This was a mistake though, it had to be. It was the little girl that for what ever reason came with the group to Heuco Mundo. He skidded to a stop " Ok kid get out of my way I am in a hurry!"


"Ken-chan!Look!" She shouted in her high pitch voice.


"What is this! A worthy opponent maybe?!" A husky laugh came from above.


Grimmjow looked up to see Kenpachi staring down at him. " Aw for fucks sakes! Look count it a rematch! Where is the cells!?"


"Not another step!" an older voice shouted from behind.


Grimmjow felt the pressure of this one and all he could do was cackle. He turned to the old man "Aizen."


"Your eyesight must be off, cat." The man laughed.


"..."


"I am first captain and commander of the soul so-


"No your not." Grimmjow interuppted.


"How dare ya-


"Gin, you give your self away." Grimmjow growled running at the captain, he dashed and dodged the attempts of the other two captains and finally reached the commander. He threw the man to the ground and with a loud thud a cackle came back from above. Grimmjow looked down and saw nothing, he glared at the voice.


"I am not Gin Ichimaru." He yelled, flames encircled the commander as he glared down at the Espada.
