Toshiro let go a small sigh as he sat in his room writing on a piece of paper. The small boy had been feeling rather annoyed since his return. He hated the fact that they had demoted him for no reason what’s so ever. Now he was now a fourth seat despite his large amount of spiritual pressure and power. He also was annoyed that his former vice captain had been demoted and was higher than. All this made no sense to him what’s so ever. He wanted to find out were he had been all this time but , he had no memories of it. The last thing he remembered was training in the caves and then everything was black after that.

Letting go a small sigh he got up off the floor and exited the room. After shutting the door behind him he placed his hands into his sleeves and was on his way. Shiro chan he heard one of the other seated officer shot. Upon hearing it the white haired boy wrinkled his noise in anger. Usually in this situation he would snapped that’s captain Hitsugaya to you , but he was no longer a captain. " Call me Hitsugaya" he snapped instead which caused the other man to give him a look before leaving. Toshiro let some angered air come out of his lips and then began walking forward again.

After a couple moments of walking he came across a small area of grass near the barracks. Yawning slightly he laid down in the grass with his arms behind his head. After staring at the clouds for a couple moments he closed eyes.

Another early morning for the young Vice Captain of Squad Three. No matter what day it was, Kohana was always up at the crack of dawn to take care of her morning duties. She started her morning with a shower, then a ricebnall and some oolong tea for breakfast, then onto her paperwork. She sorted the stack quickly, separating mission files, status reports, and a few other documents into separate piles. She got through her paperwork rather quickly, then paused for a moment when she came across a mission report that wasn't quite right. She softly sighed and scolded one of the unseated officers of the division under her breath. She was given a set of documents that belonged to Squad Ten. They were documents regarding a shinigami by the name of Toshiro Hitsugaya. She was tempted to read more, but it wasn't her place to know such things. She decided that she'd deliver the documents by hand, rather than trust someone else with the job. She scribbled a note onto a scrap piece of paper for Izuru, then tucked the papers in between her shitagi and kosode before strapping Ichirin No Hana to her left hip. She sighed a bit and left rather quickly, making her way towards the Tenth Division.

Upon arriving, she felt an odd chill in the air, quickly realizing that she had never been to the Squad Ten barracks. She shivered slightly, then realized that the Captain wasn't in the barracks, or anywhere nearby. She sighed to herself and started to explore the grounds near the barracks. That's when she found what appeared to be a young boy in a shihakusho standing in a grassy patch near the barracks. Kohana took a step closer before addressing him. Um....excuse me....young man..? Are you...um...part of Squad Ten..? Kohana spoke softly in her usual timid tone. Her vibrant, bi-colored gaze focused immediately on the boy's snow white hair. Such a unique feature, much like her eyes or her own aqua blue hair. Kohana focused back on the boy himself, standing a few feet away while she awaited an answer.

"Taicho!!". A female voice broke through the spring air, the sound of wodden sandles against grass following it. A woman with long strawberry blond hair, a large bussom that was hardly covered by her shinigami uniform, and a youthfull face, was running towards them. The tenth division`s third seat armband was clipped to her obi, meaning she was Matsumoto Rangiku, the former vice captain of the tenth division. She stopped when she was a few feet from them, catching her breath, she seemend to have been running for a long time to get them. She stood up to her full height of 5.6, and looked down at the white haired boy, seeming to inorge Kohana for the moment.

She sat down onto her knees, her eyes being full of relieff, a soft smile comming over her plumb lips. "...I`m sorry i didn`t come sooner...i just heard of your return now...its good to see you again, i thought you would be gone forever...". Rangiku lifted her head for a moment, looking at Kohana with a brief smile, having taken notice of her presence. She looked back down at the white haired former captain, finding it weird not to see him in his haori. "Ah..i forgot...its just Hitsugaya now...", she said, her voice sounding bittersweet. It was certainly odd that she had been demoted to third seat, while he had been demoted to fourth seat. Toshiro had bankai and was a tactical genious in and out of the battlefield.

Shiro let go a small sigh at the feeling of the hot weather on his face. The white haired male was never to fond of the hotter weather. He preferred the cold weather and snow that came with it. Deciding that he probably wasn’t going to get he opened his eyes and watched the clouds above his head. A short moment later he heard some foot steps coming into the area. This annoyed the white haired boy greatly because he was looking for some alone. Hope the source wasn’t coming toward him he closed his again. But, soon he heard a voice from what sounded like a small girl asking if he was of the tenth division. He opened his eyes to look at her as she spoke.

Before he could speak to her he heard some more wooden sandals racing across the grass. Followed by the loud voice of his former vice captain screaming Taichou. Toshiro closed his eyes in annoyance at the sound of her voice. " Yes i am of the tenth division" he told the annoyed girl in a serious tone. A moment later the busted women sat on grass next to and began speaking like she was out breathe. She told him that she was sorry she had come sooner. Because she had just heard of his return and then she was glad to see him. Saying nothing the snow haired male sat up in the Indian style seating position now knowing that he defiantly wasn’t going to get any sleep.

" its ok Matsumoto" he said in a tone where you could clearly her the annoyance in his deep voice. The blond women’s next words agitated him slightly. But , she always knew how his buttons so, you'd think he'd been used to it by now. He deiced to say nothing to the comment because he was stick of correcting people all day. Instead he sighed slightly which he figured Matsumoto would understand because she knew him well.

Kohana smiled slightly as the boy stated that he was part of Squad ten. Relieved, she began to walk closer, slowly removing the papers from her kosode, but was stopped in her tracks by the sound of footsteps. She glanced in the direction of the sound to find a rather poorly dressed woman approaching. Kohana froze and gripped the papers in her delicate hand, her eyes instantly averting away from the woman. She had her bust nearly hanging out in the presence of a young male. Some women truly had no shame. She sighed to herself and ignored the two as they interacted, they clearly having no respect for a superior officer. Annoyed now, Kohana simply placed the papers on the grass, her eyes still on the ground. She could tell the woman was rowdy and poorly situated for proper interactions. Definitely not the type Kohana was suited to be around. She glanced up at the white haired boy and sighed softly. Do make sure these papers get delivered to Rina-Taicho....if they do not get to her...I will know.... Kohana turned her back to the two and sighed once more. Since you two seem to be...close...I'll leave you and this woman to your business...maybe you can teach her some decency.... With that said, she was gone in a blur. Her job was done, so she had no reason to stay, especially with such questionable company. A light twister composed of silky pink flower petals spiraled in the air where she once stood, filling the atmosphere with the soothing scent of cherry blossoms upon her disappearance.

[Exit]

The comment that the current vice captain of the third seat had spoken about Rangiku, was inorged by the long haired woman. She picked up the papers and held them against herself, making sure they didn`t get crumbled. "Really now, speaking about decency when you are so disrespctful yourself...", she spoke out loud to herself before looking down at Toshiro, having decided to let Kohana`s rude comment pass, everyone had their own opinion. "..Sorry for intterupting your nap like this..", she said in a much quiter tone, her voice having become more soft. "Its an odd place to take a nap...why don`t you come to my office? The....captain has set it up since she meant i could use the space..". Rangiku lowered her head a bit, clutching the garment of her uniform with her free hand. "...i..". Rangiku cut herself off, seeming to have changed her mind about speaking to him. A calm, yet heavy silence fell over the area.

After a couple of minutes in the sudden silence, she reached down and placed her hand onto his shoulder for a moment, giving it a small tug. "..This is such a big mess....but rank dosen`t mean anything to me...you will still be my taicho..and i will be here to protect you". She removed her hand from his shoulder, knowing he never had liked being touched unless he had given permission.

Shiro wrinkled his nose slightly at the green haired girls tone of voice to him. He wanted so bad to correct her , but he knew he couldn’t anymore. That fact made if even more annoyed about it. When girl left he looked back at The red headed women as she complained out loud about the green haired girls tone and words. When his former vice captain looked back at him she apologized for interrupting. As the women spoke to him a couple giggling girls walked by. Toshiro looked to the briefly and then giggled more before breaking into a run. " It ok.. it wasn’t going to happen anyway" he replied in an annoyed tone referring to the noise from the girls and other places not to far off.

The busted women then told him he could sleep in her office. He was about to responded but the brighter haired women lowered her head. She then only spoke one word to him and then a silence fell. The white haired sighed slightly and touched his bangs briefly. A couple moments the girl touched his shoulder gently. The girl then read his mind on the rank matter. He totally agreed and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Before he could agree she went on to tell him that he would always be her captain and she would always protect him. " Yes it is a mess I wish i could figure out a solution" he said in a serious tone with a sigh." Thanks Matsumoto" he said in a slightly friendlier tone. As he heard people running by and ignored them this time.

"Don`t thank me...its just my duty", she said in a soft smile, being glad that his personality at least haven`t changed. She knew that Toshiro easily got annoyed, especially when people refered to him by first name without premission, but he had a soft side as well, he only showed to people he really cared for...she had always been honored to be one of those people. She reached over with both of her hands, taking his head between her hands, moving towards him so his face was buried into her large bossum. "You really should consider cutting this hair, or maybe style it? Braids would look cute to you...but then people might think you were a girl..". She placed her left elbow on his head, pondering over how to set his hair, not noticing his breathing was cut off by her chest.

She removed herself after serval seconds, lifting her hands in apoligy. "Gomen! These things always get in the way..i should punish them!". Her trait of talking about her chest in the middle of conversations, and in full public, was still there. She stood up, using a moment to ajust her sash. She turned her back to him, taking a step forward. "Lets go...my office isen`t far away..".

The white haired boy listened to the women's reply quietly when she said he didn’t have to thank her because it was her duty. He was about to his say something in return but he was cut off. When the busted women grabbed him by both hands and practically pulled him face first into her large breasts. He made a face and small muffled as his face his the was plunged into the women." Masumoto" he got angrily but , it was probably unheard because of his head's current location. As his face was buried the women began to touch his snow white hair. Along with telling him that he should probably consider cutting his hair. She then made the suggestion and maybe braiding it , but corrected herself by then saying he might look like a girl. Shiro then made annoyed sound to himself at his predicament. " Matsumoto i can't breathe" he said angrily into her huge breasts.

When he found his self gasping for air slightly the women finally released him and put up her hands in apology. Shiro slightly at looked up at her as she talked about how his chest was always getting in the way. He then touch his hair briefly as the women stood up and suggested they go to her office which wasn’t to far away. Keeping silent the ex captain got to his feet and out his hands into his sleeves. " Hai" he said calmly in agreement because the giggling squad members seemed to show no sign of leaving. Plus he could easy control the air condition in the office so, it wasn’t hot like it was outside. Without a word the captain began walking forward toward the barracks.

"Don`t say hai to me...it makes this even more award", she commented as she followed him. As they walked through the barracks, everyone who passed them either stopped for a moment to greet them, expression their joy over seeing him back and well, or greeted him as taicho. They eventually reached the office of the third seat, which was located a hallway away from the captain`s office. Rangiku opened the door, revealing the appearance of the room. It was more simple than you would expect. A wooden desk, three couches with a table in the middle, a large window behind the desk with the curtains pulled away, two cabinets, one containing books, ink, pensels and such, the other containing some of her large collection of sake. She had apparently dropped her habit of hiding sake in the captain`s desk due to the amount that was in the cabinet, but you never knew with her.

"Such a stress outside..", she mumbled as she pulled the curtains together. "But who can blame them? They are just happy to see you again.... Her desk was oddly enough empty of paperwork, only a few half-finished papers was laying in a neet stack. A small pot of ink was standing next to it, a pensel laying next to it. She had probably rushed out of her office the moment she heard of his return..

The white haired was pleased to hear some of the squad members still greet him as taichou when the passed. It showed him that some of them still had a ounce of respect. Shiro watched a few squad members walk off and ignore The busted women then commented about him saying hai to her but , he ignored the comment.. His ice blue eyes then returned her when they reached the office door. As soon as the reached the office the door was open and short boy walked in. When the door shut behind them the women spoke to him about the stress outside and how the squad was just glad to see. Shiro watched the women briefly and eyed the cabinet across the room.

" Well at least some of them retained their respect" he replied coldly with a serious expression on his lips. He then sniffled the area walked over to the cabinet. Opening the cabinet he spotted the busted women's stash of sake bottles. The white haired boy was annoyed by the sight in the closet. He had told many times about the matter. To annoyed by all the stuff going on at the moment he just turned to look at her with her arms crossed. And hoped she would know what he was looking at her like that for. If she'd didn’t he would have to say something , but he would rather not have to go explaining himself in his current mood unless it was needed.

Hearing the cabinet to her "treasure" being opened, she turned around to face him. "Aren`t you to young to drink taicho?", she said out of habbit, a small smile comming over her face. She walked over to him, taking out a random bottle, swinging her arm around his neck, causing his left cheek to be pressed against her chest. "Just kidding, you can drink as much as you want taicho!", she said in a rather loud voice, her light lautgher filling the office. She placed the bottle back into the cabinet, closing it up, releasing him from her hold. Turning her back to him, she walked over to the desk, sitting down behind it. "..Go take your nap, ill finish these up and we can have a good, long talk..okay?". Without even waiting for his answer, she dipped the pensel in the small ink bottle, beginning on the last of the paperwork. The way her eyes scanned over the papers, showed that her skills in paperwork still were intact. Rangiku wasen`t bad to paperwork, she just enjoyed spending her life outside the office, in her world waking up with a hangover was common.

(short sorry)

Toshiro wrinkled his nose slightly at his former vice captain comment about being to young to drink. What bothered him about was once again he was being called a child. In reality he was over a hundred years old even though he look about pre teen age. So, if you were going by appearance he was defiantly to young to drink sake. If you were going by actual age he could drink all he wanted to. He wasn’t really planning drinking it was more a check up on his ex fuktaichou. When was still he captain for real back in the day he always used to bust her for drinking to much. So, lets say he was keeping up the old routine. A short moments later without warning him the women took a bottle from the cabinet and put her around him. The white haired boy had an annoyed look at his face. He was then surprised to see she didn’t drink any of the sake today instead she put it back. This made hope that maybe she had cleaned up her act slightly while he was gone. As the women went back to her desk he closed the cupboard and then touched it putting up a barrier. As he was doing this the women told him he could go ahead and take his nap while she finished the paperwork. Shiro stayed silent and made his why over to the couch and laid down with his arms behind his head and his eyes closed. " I hope your still not drinking that cupboards worth Matsumoto" he said with a small sigh.
