Toshiro turned away and let his bankai melt away from his skin. He walked past everyone. " Where are you going?"



"I have to do something."



"What is going on!?" Renji demanded.



" She was taken, Dammit!" Toshiro spat.



" Toshiro, you are not to do anything with out protocol." Byakuya stated.



"Are you going to stop-



"Bakudo Rikujokoro"



Toshiro fell to the ground and felt the binding spell lock him in place. He looked up to see Soi Fon " Calm down, Toshiro. remember you are a captain. Protocol is needed." She soothed, kneeling to him. He closed his eyes and relaxed.



"Release me."



"If you-



"I won't." He said coldly.



The day passed , everything seemed so abstract. What he said to her played through his brain over and over again.



""No! I don't need it."" He scrunched his eyes together, trying to push the truth away. He was a jerk to her and now it was just ""just leave me alone Rangiku."" Replaying over and over again in his head.



"" You always get in the way,"". he looked over to the couch she always slept on and watched as the flashback played in his head.He cringed and felt his own cold words sit in his stomach...hyourinmaru was fitting for him.



---------



"Heuco...Mundo." The name fell from her lips.



"I will give you the tour."



She looked out at the white sand and looked up to him " Why did you-



He leaned forward and placed his lips on hers and kissed her gently. He pulled back and removed his slender fingers from her face " for you. I needed to see you once more."



"...Gin...I, I don't like you-



"you will learn to love me." He smiled kissing a strand of her hair.



She closed her eyes pained " No, no, no. I-



"Gin you have returned." The voice that made even the coldest of souls frozen, was heard through the air. Gin turned around.



" Well hello there, sir. I wasn't gone to long now was I?" He smiled.



" Is she as you remember?" Aizen asked with a smile.



She couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes. Aizen, the trader of the soul society. The enemy was talking so calmly like nothing has even gone wrong. She felt sick to her stomach, Gin placed a hand on her which made her feel even worse.



She looked up to her captor " I will be taking you to my room now." He grinned.



'Always that grin, always that sneer. You know what you are doing, but I do not...that I hate about you. I do not want to be a game piece...I do not want to be in this game of chess.' she thought.



" Oh and Gin," Aizen spoke, which made Gin stop and look back " I want to share the joy of having a female here just as much as you." he said and even though she was faced away from him, she could feel his smile burn into her soul.



Gin guided her through the maze and was stopped finally by one man, an Arrancar. " Who is she?" He almost yelled.



Her being was stopped by his presence, almost choking her. She looked up to see a teal haired man with a piece on his face. " OI, why the FUCK is she here?" He shouted.



"Now, now Grimmjow. Is that the way to speak to a lady?" He pointed scolding him with his cheerful tone.



" Gin, I would like to know as well. Why am I here?" She shouted, the words fell from her lips. She was scared, nervous but she was still a Shinigami. She needed to remember she was strong.



" I don't think here is the best place to tell you." Gin grinned.



Grimmjow looked into the girls eyes and looked at his face " Is that the only way you can get any, you fox?"he paused "Keh, no wonder." Grimmjow rolled his eyes walking away from the two.



She looked at Gin " Is that it? I am a plaything? To think I thought you had maybe wanted to see me..." She growled.



" I need her weapon." A voice said coldly, which even surprised Gin.



It was Ulquiorra, Rangiku was familiar with the two she had seen so far. She was petrified, she turned to him and gazed into his emerald eyes. They were like her captains the last time she saw him...sad. She gulped and unlaced the Zanpaktou. " Please, take care of her."She handed the weapon to him.



"I have no reason to destroy it, unless I am ordered." He spoke plainly walking away with the sword.



Gin turned back to her " Rangiku, let us talk." He smiled taking her hand into his. He guided her to the room that was labeled his. She had no reason to fight back, she didn't know where to go if she did get freedom. This was like another planet...she was stuck until someone came to get her.Which she doubted would happen.

---------------------------------



Toshiro was called to a meeting which he arrived to early. But still many were there, he was surprised. He looked around to the familiar faces. Why was everyone there so early. The meeting was at noon right? He looked over to Shunsuii, he didn't look happy...none the least.



"Excuse me for being rude. But why is everyone here so early-



"Toshiro. We regret to inform you but we found your lieutenant. She has been declared dead."



"WHAT!? This has to be a mistake!"



"I am sorry but it is not. The hollowfication process has taken hold...we fear Aizen tried to make a shinigami into a arrancar-



"No! I need proof Give me proof"



Old man Yamma stood from his seated position " I know this is hard to hear but remember you are still a captain."



Shunsuii felt as the memories burned through his mind. He remembered the long months after his lieutenant was killed. It was a hard couple of months, but for her he moved on. Shunsuii looked up to the smaller captain.



" No, that is where you are wrong. I know how the central 46 runs, they use there power fo-



"Hold your tongue, Toshiro." Byakuya scolded.



Toshiro closed his eyes and knew where he had to go. Ichigo...' Funny how the person I turn to is him. Him of all people...'



" We are to continue daily routine after we leave this room. Is this understood?" Yama asked.



Truthfully, Toshiro hadn't heard a word of what the commander had said but he agreed sullenly. The meeting concluded and everyone went there different direction. Was everyone really just letting her go? Why was everyone acting strange, she is dead and there is no funeral? She is killed and there is no measure? Something is going on...as he exited the captains were outside waiting for him.



"We fear Aizen used his sword to cover up what Gin did." Komumura spoke calmly.



"We want to help you find her." Ukitake said.



"Shunsuii when your lieutenant disappeared, you got to see her right?" Toshiro asked bluntly.



" Her body was taken before I could see her...I know the truth behind what happen that night to my Risa. I have always known, Toshiro, do not blame the commander."



"He is not to blame, I must find a way to Heuco Mundo." Toshiro spoke looking down at the ground.



"I know of a way.But you have to visit the human world." Byakuya spoke closing his eyes.



"Byakuya?" Toshiro asked surprised.



" Something is not right, it is the law to search for missing Soul Reapers. Even if declared dead, it is the law. I will not break-



" Does this mean we get to battle? If that is the case I will help you find your Lieutenant." Kenpachi interrupted.



Byakuya threw the other captain a glare, Kenpachi didn't budge though. Toshiro closed his eyes and let out a sigh. " If that is the case, we would be breaking the law. I cannot let any of you get penalized for my squad" Toshiro slipped off his captains jacket and folded it in a square " Ukitake." He handed it to him.



" Wait, you cannot go alone." Renji shouted from above.



Toshiro looked up in surprise. "This is a captain's meeting!?"



Byakuya let out a sigh " fool."



Shunsuii looked over at the others " I am sure it will not do any harm to explain this to him. This is confidential though. The central 46 has declared Rangiku dead, no one is to try and do anything or there will be penalties. I am sure they are steep to," He turned to Toshiro " Captain Hitsuguya, I know I cannot stop you but-



" Look, I know this sounds rash. But this is the most logical thing. If you are right and the commander has been tricked to believe this. If he see's proof that she is alive when this is all over...I will get my captain's vest back." He looked to Byakuya, in surprise. He wasn't saying anything. Was he going to let him go?



He turned his back and began to walk through the Sereitei.

-----------------



"Should we try and stop him?" Ukitake looked to Shunsuii in question.



" No, he is in good hands. He will leave and possibly bump into Ichigo." Byakuya stated.



"You make that sound like that is a good thing. I am beginning to think you are friends with that human?" Shunsuii teased.



"hmph." Byakuya turned on his heel and began to walk towards his barracks. " Renji." He paused.



"Yes Captain?"



"Make sure he finds his way safely to the human world."



"Yes captain." he nodded disappearing.



shunsuii looked back to where Byakuya was and saw nothing but cherry blossoms. " That man is strange."



The wolf captain Komamura stepped forth and finally spoke up " What if she is dead? Will Toshiro take the consequences?" He asked looking out to where Toshiro was heading.



" Toshiro is not really one to betray ser-



"I thought that about Tousen and Aizen as well." The wolf barked almost.



"Lets just say I have always had my doubts." Shunsuii turned leaving the group.



--------------------------



"Renji, are you going to stop following me?" Toshiro asked stopping in his place.



" Uh...Captain. I-"he paused"forgive me. I was to make sure you made it through to the human world safely." Renji said surprised.



"On whose orders?" He asked curiously.



" Captain Byakuya." Renji sighed scratching his head nervously.



Toshiro smirked, 'what a peculiar man. I have known him for 2 years and he still surprises me.'

-----------------------



Ichigo had a ton of homework for the night.He was stuck with mid-terms and on top of that Rukia was trying to get him ready for Christmas. He wasn't a grinch or anything, he just had more important things to do.



' ok so I have this review packet, which is 444 questions, I then have a math review packet that is 200 questions...uhh and they are all due next Monday...' He sighed.



"Are you even listening to me?" Rukia asked with frustration in her eyes.



"Uh, sorry Rukia...I am really stressed right now."



"Oh, I will go on my own then. You just stay here." She said feeling kind of bad.



" Wait what did you say?" He questioned " I can take a break."



" I sense someone came here from the Sereitei," She pulled out her cell phone " But look, its not a hollow."



"hmm,Kon. Please just leave this stuff alone ok?" He transferred into his Soul Reaper outfit.



Kon grumbled something but Ichigo was out the window already. The two flash-stepped towards the presence. Rukia approached first " Captain Hitsuguya?" Rukia asked with surprise.



"Toshiro? What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked with curiosity. ' where was his captain's robe?'



Toshiro looked at the ground " Its kind of nice here for once." He smiled catching the snow flakes, Ichigo could read the pain in his eyes. Ichigo knew something had happen...but what.



----------------



Gin shut the door behind him locking it. He turned to Rangiku standing looking out the window. It looked like a prison,it felt like a prison...it was a prison. She turned feeling his presence come closer. To no surprise he was slithering up to her, like a snake about to kill a prey. She felt his lips touch her own and felt the tears build up in the corners of her eyes. She had nothing, but the will to fight back. She pushed him away abruptly.



"Gin, what are you doing?" She asked breathing heavy. She was nervous, she knew quiet well what he WAS doing. But she more or less wanted to know why.



"Why, Rangiku? I am surprised in ya. I thought you would be jumping to get to me, with the right environment." He grinned.



"Sorry Gin, I am not interested." She turned to move away from him but was surprised by a push to the ground.



" I didn't want it to lead to this, ya know? I thought ch' you would be a good girl for me,' She looked up to see him undoing his hakama slowly. Her eyes widened and she moved quickly for the door. " aha no no, little girl." He slapped her to the floor.



Blood pooled from her nose ' this isn't happening. This is a nightmare.'



"Oh stop with the actin, I know girls are good at that. I will make ya moan my name. I will make ya want me." He grinned pulling her up by the hair. She let out a cry in pain.



"No GIN! STOP!" She screamed kicking him away.



"I see why that gets Aizen excited now, my dear Rangiku." He chuckled gripping her fragile wrists.



His reitsu was pushing her down and his soul energy was radiating, freezing her strength. She felt him toss her on the bed. She looked up with red glassy eyes " Please Gin, stop, I beg of you."



He pushed her over at a perfect L shape bend, she was over the bed face being pushed down. Her wrists were held tightly behind her back with one hand. She tried to resist but surprisingly he was stronger than he appeared. She let out tears of fear " Gin, I trusted you! DAMMIT I TRUSTED YOU!" She screamed.



He didn't pause for a moment " Don't trust me, don't trust anyone. There is no reason to trust anyone. Everyone is a fake until you truly get to know them." He whispered to her.



She felt her body being taken over by his hands. He whispered something locking her hands in place. She bit her lower lip till blood pooled from the little cuts from her teeth. He gently pulled her hakama pants down, making her sob quietly. He grinned at her dripping opening.



"It seems like you are excited?" he laughed humiliating her.



'no, am I? Why is my body getting wet. why...'



He smiled and pushed forward into her body. She screamed an agonizing pain, that rang throughout the doors of Heuco Mundo.





when he finished with her, he released her and pulled his pants back up. He laughed and said something, locking the door behind him. He left her there, she curled up sobbing. Her body was so dirty she couldn't help but shake. She wanted out, she wanted to die...her body was a shell. She sobbed loudly trying to heal herself.
