Hide and Seek

Matsumoto looked up to see in blurred vision Gin. Why was he holding her? She opened her eyes more and could see his grin. " Gin? Why do you have me?" She asked looking over to Ulquiorra. He had her sword.





'She was tricked. Her weapon was in his hands again.' She felt the pain of betrayal hit her. Why did she care, why was she surprised. She bit her lip and tried to fight the pain that sunk in deep. Gin looked down to her " I didn't want my pet to be killed. Well. not by his hands at least." He grinned.





"You, are a monster." She breathed feeling his grip tighten as he dodged Grimmjow.





" You fucking fox.Get your ass over here. She asked to be killed because she didn't want to be raped by you!" He scoffed gritting his teeth.





"Oh well, that is not her choice. She is my pet and I decide when she get's euthanized." He said.





His fingers gripped onto her skin with heavy intent. She felt her body being taken over again, she was a ball. Being tossed around, person to person. Why was it the time she wanted to die, she couldn't. He was always there for her, even when she didn't want him to be. She felt sick to her stomach as he held her.





"Let me go." She stated.





" Now, why would I do that?" He laughed.





Aizen appeared behind him " Because I gave Ulquiorra an order." He demanded.





His spiritual pressure was heavy again, she closed her eyes wishing for her death to come sooner. Gin dropped her and stood back by Aizen. " If you were a good girl, you could have had me once more." He laughed standing behind his lord.





Aizen lifted a hand and directed a bakudo binding spell on her. She fell to her knees and her arms were locked in between her knees. Her head lowered in shame, Grimmjow stepped forward. But was stopped by a glare from Ulquiorra. It wasn't a look of I am going to kill you, more or less stay back. Grimmjow didn't step in, he fell back on this one. Ulquiorra walked closer to her. He unsheathed his sword and lifted it. His eyes looked down at her strawberry blonde hair, she was in pain, she was in turmoil, she was on her last breath. He looked up to Gin and Aizen and saw Aizen nod. Ulquiorra looked over to Grimmjow and noticed he was gone.



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





Grimmjow sensed it, he felt someone close that was far to familiar. When he saw a gate open up and people coming through he laughed. This was to perfect, an army was letting out and what did he do?





Grimmjow crossed his arms and shouted. " Yo shinigami." He shouted.





Three that made it through looked up. They looked up in surprise, how did they not notice his presence. Toshiro looked up and felt his strength through the air.Grimmjow the sexta espada, Ichigo had spoken of him...but he had never seen him. He went for his sword " Eh, save it for your comrade." He spat.





"What did you say. Do you know where Rangiku is?" He demanded.





Grimmjow looked up into his eyes and saw the panic, fear and worry in his eyes. His eyes were cold and mature for his age. He swiped his tongue over his teeth and pointed back. " There over there, I'd hurry if I were you." He spat.





In whirlwind of ice he shouted " Daiguren Hyourinmaru!" Was heard through the storm of ice. Grimmjow covered his face as the dust particles of ice cleared he saw blue wings of ice swish past him at speeds he was even surprised by.





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





Toshiro felt the presence change as he stepped through the door, he never expected to get information that easily from an Espada. He used Hyourinmaru's wings to fly quickly to where he spoke of. He sensed a spiritual pressure that felt vaguely familiar...it was Aizen. He was strong, to strong for even him.





Below he could see the two, Gin and Aizen. He sensed her but where was she. His eyes searched frantically until he saw her. She was covered in red and her head was sunken low. She was hurt badly. Toshiro shouted loudly " Rangiku!" He shouted with all his might. The wind sent snow down past the raised blade to her hands. She looked up quickly.





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





A snow petal fell to her fingers, this cold air felt so familiar. This presence was so peaceful.





"Rangiku!" Someone shouted.





She looked up to see him, her knight in frozen armor. She smirked " Toshiro" she whispered.





With a swift motion Toshiro through his hand up sending spears of ice around her. Ulquiorra jumped back, Aizen smirked and looked up to his new enemy. She fell forward, she had lost to much blood. She could barely see any more. Rangiku was expecting the harsh pain of hitting the ground when she felt warm hands around her. She looked up to see her captain, he held her close. The ice wings covered the two in a cage of ice. He made sure no one saw her or him.





He moved in close to her lips " Come on Rangiku you can make it...for me." he added brushing her lips with his gently. Her eyes widened and the blood rushed to her head.





He let her go and sat her up gently " Captain?!" She smiled " Wow how long have I been gone!" She laughed standing up.





"Can you make it until we see Izuru?"





"Yeah, I can. I...I thought you were, happy that I was gone." She said looking to the ground.





"No! Who told you that." He asked turning around to look in her eyes.





"...I saw it."





Before Toshiro spoke another word he thought to himself ' It probably was an illusion. An illusion Aizen made, they were trying to deceive her. Go fig.'



"No Rangiku, I was constantly thinking of you. I was so worried about you I think my hair turned more white." He smiled looking back at her.



She laughed "That's not possible."She paused and looked up to him "thank you captain."



"Don't thank me yet. We need to get out of here alive." He stated.



' Ok, I can use my Ice mirrors to get out of here, It will make it look like we are here when really we are far away. I just need time, time...hm. I got it.' He thought.



"Hyourinmaru!"



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





Ulquiorra looked at the ice that was protecting the hostage and himself transform. It turned into a large dragon and whirled upwards distracting the three. The dragon moved to Aizen in a swift motion. The two dodged its attempts and jumped back. The dragon moved quickly around to the two in a roar. Aizen lifted his sword and shattered the dragon. When the particles fell to the ground he saw. tunnels form around them. Aizen smirked, it was a distraction. He looked to Ulquiorra " Why didn't you stop them?"





Ulquiorra cleverly said " Was I supposed to?" He asked.





"Hm." Aizen said " Gin, looks like your princess was taken. Do not let them leave alive...any of them." He demanded.



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





Toshiro sprinted through the tunnels as fast as he could with her in hand. She kept up, her sword was in hand. Why did he give it to her? He just handed it to her through the ice.





" Toshiro, where are we going." She asked seeing a bright light at the end of the tunnel. The two leapt through to see the rest of the soul reapers. Rangiku's eyes widened. ' Why are they all here?' She asked looking onward at them.





" You got her already? Damn your fast." Yoruichi stated.





"Wow for her to say that you must be fast." Urahara stated.





Izuru ran forward to Rangiku and told her to lay on her stomach. She was surprised at how quick he got to her. Everyone was blurring, she couldn't see anything. Where was she, her world was spinning...everything was getting dark. She fell over and felt her energy disappearing.





'Maybe, I was stupid to believe Aizen. Maybe I was dumb to look at him with those eyes after so long. Toshiro...Toshiro...please don't go. It's so dark and so cold.' She stated watching as everyone disappeared in the darkness.



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



Toshiro looked onwards to everyone " She will be fine as long as she is being healed. She is a fighter. We should form teams."





Urahara agreed " Even if they are small teams. He is right. Ichigo, Renji and Byakuya team one. Yoruichi, Soi Fon and me team two. Shunsui, Ukitake and Nanao team three. Yachiru and Kenpachi team four. Hisagi, Izuru and Toshiro team five. Is everyone ok with these teams?" He asked





"Yeah ok Izuru? How is she?" Toshiro asked.





"Her Heart rate is slow and dull. But give me 30 min-





"My my Izuru. 30 minutes is an awful long time." A voice spoke.





His eyes widened as he looked up to see Gin. " Ichimaru..."





"I don't getta captain with that?" he smirked.





"..." He didn't speak, he couldn't. He looked at him with guilt and want.





"What are those eyes 'bout Kira-kun?" he asked.





"Why are you here?" Izuru asked with shame. He hated looking at him from the other side of the playing field. He lowered his eyes as his ex-captain spoke words of a new person.





" My question is why are you here?" He said smiling devilishly at his old friend.





"Don't answer him." Toshiro spat. " He is trying to get to you."





The truth was he wanted to talk to him. He wanted to hear his voice and see him. He missed him and wanted his captain to come back...even though he knew it would not be allowed. He bit his lip as Toshiro talked over him. Everyone talked over him...was he even there. He felt himself choking...falling...when a hand wrapped around his. He looked down to see it was Matsumoto's. She smiled warmly at him and opened her eyes to look at him. He was genuinly pleased at the gesture. He wasn't alone. What had she gone through...





Gin jumped past Toshiro and leaned down to where Izuru was and smiled at his expression. " Well, this is awkward but, I am going to have to kill you my Kira-kun." He smiled putting his hand gently on top of his old lieutenant's head.





Izuru's eyes widened and he watched as his hand left slowly, he placed his hand on his sword. Izuru's eyes fell to a glare and he leapt back from Rangiku. He side-stepped slowly putting one leg over the other. He spoke " I never should have trusted you like I did. I never should have loved you the way I did. But the sad thing is...I did up until you spoke those words a minute ago." He closed his eyes and spoke slowly " Raise your head, Wabiske." He spoke pulling his sword from its sheath. It transformed to a block shaped sword. " I hope you fall in penitance." He said slowly.





"Oh, my Kira-kun. You never brought this fight to the bedroom. Why not?" He asked pushing his hair back. " Your so cute when you are angry." He said releasing his sword from its casing.





Ichigo nodded to Renji and Byakuya and leapt forth towards Heuco Mundo. Hisagi went to Rangiku and lifted her gently. He went to move her over to a farther area. Her wounds were healed, but he knew they were deeper than flesh. Something happen to her, he really didn't even want to know what. Toshiro looked back at Hisagi and saw a strange figure watching. He had black hair and truthfully he had never seen the man.





"Hisagi!" He shouted.





Hisagi looked up and saw the espada.





"Well, look at what we have here. A bunch of Shi-ni-ga-mi." He sing songed.





"Speak your name."





"His name is Nnoitra" Rangiku spoke lifelessly.





Toshiro looked over to her in surprise, he flash stepped quickly over to her. He kneeled down to her level " Rangiku, please don't speak. Just rest." He begged.





"Captain, he didn't hurt me. Just remember that. He helped me." she said warmly looking over to him.





The espada grinned " Sorry hun, but I have orders now. I cannot listen to you. Even though your voice is beautiful." He laughed.





"Toshiro, have you seen the other espada. Blue hair?" She asked laughing a bit.





"Yes, he showed me where you were." He said in surprise.





Gin looked over to Rangiku and saw her talking warmly with Toshiro. He opened his red eyes and glared at the two. He wanted Rangiku and he wanted to keep her here forever. Even if it was in death. He blocked one of Izuru's attacks and spoke with a jingle " Shoot em dead Shinsou!" He smiled pointing at Toshiro.





The blade came speared through the air. Izuru's voice raised at Toshiro, Toshiro felt the whirlwind of his blade and was readying himself for the piercing pain. When a loud roar was heard through the air, loud scraping noises were heard as he turned his head. The blade that was about to pierce him was blocked. He looked back to see a teal haired man standing there.





"Grimmjow?" Rangiku said in shock.





"Grimmjow? Hm...Kitty cat what'cha doin 'round here?" He asked glaring at the man before him.





"Fuck I don't even know. I am fucking sick of being ruled by Aizen." He spat cracking his fingers.





"Oh? You rebellin?" He laughed.





"Blow me." He spat.





" Your already taken. I can't." He laughed raising his sword.





Izuru slashed Gin, which Gin cleverly dodged. Grimmjow watched as Izuru fought and pounced on him in eagerness.





"Whose side is he on?" Toshiro asked in confusion.





"I think I want to say his own." She smiled sitting up.





"Wait, you can't fight." Toshiro stated.





"I can, with you here. I lost hope when I was here. I had nothing to fight for...nothing. I now do, so dammit I am going to fight." She said adjusting her shirt.





Toshiro rolled his eyes " Well you are back to normal." He scoffed looking away.





She leaned forward and kissed his cheek " Thank you captain."





His eyes widened and he swallowed hard " Yeah what ever. Lets end this battle." He commanded.





Gin smiled big " four against one eh?"





Nnoitra butted in and yelled "You forgetting about someone?" He yelled pointing at the smaller captain.





Rangiku looked over to him and felt guilt fill her stomach. She spoke slowly " Nnoitra, I can't fight you."





" Well looks as though you are going to be killed then." He smiled big.





Her eyes fell shut and "You leave me no choice..." She removed her sword slowly " Roar Haineko." She demanded swiping over the sword slowly. It disappeared and turned to ash. Toshiro faced the black haired espada and demanded his sword to come out to its normal again. Ice wrapped around his arm and he was ready. Ready to fight.





Gin smiled " This shall be interesting. Don't cha say Kira kun?" He chuckled.
