Too Little Too Late

Warning: This is a fic that has never been done (me thinks) and may come off as rather strange (but hopefully that�s a good strange). Now then onto the standard warnings; this fic has yaoi and quite possibly rape and there for all those readers against this shall not read the piece or their innocent psyches may implode!

Pairing: ??????XHitsugaya

Disclaimers: sigh��..here we go again. I don�t own bleach or any characters held there in. If I did quite a few characters that annoy the fuck out of me would be long since dead, there would be mpregs and yaoi abound.

~blah~ means dream sequence

~~~~Samalexa: Thanks for my initiation review for AFF.net. I�m glad you found it interesting so far. I�ve achieved my goal in the first chapter it seems! Yay me! Happy, happy! Here�s chappie two!

~~~As for the two others who reviewed�..thank you from the bottom of my twisted heart! Though I wish I could thank you both by name. I just love crack pairings, especially when little Toushiro is involved. I hope I can get others to write their own Hitsugaya fics. I�ve only read a few really good ones (GinXHitsugaya).

~~~sparrow9: I�m happy to know you think it�ll turn out great. I love Gin too; he�s such a loveable, sadistic asshole! Lol! I aim to please kiddo! Hehehehe!

~~~~SPUG: I appreciate that you tried to vote. I hope the pairings to be featured here satisfy your interest. It seems unanimous that the last scene was very adorable. I think I�ll illustrate that scene into a pic.

~~~~Vix: No fear for here�s the next chappie. I will also (down the line) be writing a few drabbles for the readers out there. Have fun reading chappie 2!

Let�s begin��..

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

Too Little Too Late
It was well into the morning when everyone, but Toushiro Hitsugaya, had awoken and no longer felt like shit. They, to Urahara�s insistence, had taken a long, soothing bath in the invitingly warm waters of a natural hot spring hidden within Urahara�s home. The blonde had also ordered the Mods to relax in the springs as well and had the motley company split up so the girls could bathe on one side of the spring and the boys on the other. Orihime had feverishly hugged Urahara in thanks and took off with Ririn and Ururu in tow.

Urahara left Ichigo, (who was still angry from the night before) Cloud, Jinta, (since the boy needed encouragement to bathe), and Nova (who still had a healthy blush on his face from being caught snuggling Hitsugaya) to themselves. Cloud had asked whether he would join them and the blonde fervently said that he had excruciatingly important business to tend to. Ichigo had given him a suspicious stare considering Urahara had said it behind his ever-present fan. The accusatory stare turned into a full out glare, �What are you up to pervert?� he growled from his place in the hot spring. Urahara was NOT intimidated by the wet and clearly nude boy as he flicked his fan shut effortlessly, �Nothing a naked child should concern himself with.� He stated with a scary leer plastered onto his face.

He watched smugly as Ichigo sunk into the steamy waters of the hidden spring and to his utter amusement a soft blush took Ichigo�s cheeks hostage. �I�m not a child!� he yelled, �And stop staring you lecher!� at this point Ichigo had sunk down so far in the water that his shoulders were becoming invisible. �I�ll stop staring when you stop presenting.� Urahara laughed darkly and turned to exit the overly large room. �Fucking perverts��all of them!� Ichigo muttered sourly. �I heard that Kurosaki-kun. Be sure to expect training later today. I will also talk to you later about the events concerning last night.� Said the blonde as he slid the door shut behind him without once looking back.

He could hear Ichigo swear loudly and he couldn�t help the sinister smile spreading across his face (think Ichimaru�..scary much!!). Oh his day was starting out great, yes indeed.

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

Not more than half an hour later and true to his word Urahara found himself sitting beside an old and dear friend in his underground training field. However, Urahara remained quiet and distant. This did not go over well with his companion and it was voiced clearly, �I don�t have time for your spacing. You called me here for a reason and I would like to know why?� a distinctly feminine voice echoed in Urahara�s ear. He turned his head in her direction in a vague regard of what she said. He smiled guardedly at her and flicked his fan open, though he never raised it to his face.

�I�m sorry Yoruichi, but I asked you here to take some information back to Seireitei��. when I get it that is.� He finished his sentence with a smile and Yoruichi felt her right eye take on a twitch. �You called me here on the grounds that this was urgent and now you�re telling me you don�t yet know what it is I have to take to Seireitei! I should bash your face in you stupid asshole!� she yelled and raised her fist in preparation for the strike. Urahara shrunk away with a nervous smile plastered to his face and his hands held up in a helpless gesture, � Now, now Yoruichi, there is no need to get angry. I promise that when I extract the needed information from Ichigo and Hitsugaya it will be important.�

She snarled at him and resumed her seat, if not a bit hesitantly. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye, �What possible information could Ichigo have that could be so important that we might not already know? And why haven�t you talked to both of them to begin with?� she said haughtily. Urahara sighed, �I called Hitsugaya Taichou in to help with the Bounto.� He said and then fell quiet until Yoruichi gave him a pointed glare to continue. He smiled slowly and did as her look suggested, �I had sent them out last night after there had been an increase in Bounto activity and things did not go very well for Hitsugaya Taichou.� He said softly.

�Didn�t go well for Hitsugaya Taichou?� she repeated and he elaborated quickly, �I followed them to make sure they would be fine and I watched them split into three teams of two. Nothing happened while they were out there in the woods so I got lax and decided to keep a distance so they wouldn�t detect my reiatsu. I lost track of Hitsugaya Taichou and couldn�t trace his reiatsu so I was kind of left in the dark for a while. I only found him after his reiatsu spiked. When I found him Ichigo had already provided his assistance.� He took a deep breath and fell quiet again.

�Finish it moron!� she growled and he laughed slightly rubbing the back of his head, �Well you see�..when I got there Ichigo was tearing Hitsugaya Taichou away from the Bounto. I�m not clear on the reason why Hitsugaya Taichou was in such a predicament, but it was clear enough that the Bounto was expressing an interest in the boy.� Yoruichi looked puzzled, �And this is serious?� she asked now a little more concerned. Urahara nodded his blonde head in confirmation, �He said he�d come back for the boy.�

�Okay so this does sound important, but I don�t have long. Get the information from them right now. I don�t have time to just sit around.� She said seriously. Urahara smiled at her and stood up, �I would gladly get it for you, if Hitsugaya Taichou is awake that is.� She stood too and glared pointedly at the man before her, �What do you mean �if he�s awake�?� she questioned eyes narrowed. �He was injured during his encounter with the Bounto. He was dealing with their leader, Kariya Jin.� Urahara said bluntly and watched as Yoruichi�s eyes widened slightly before narrowing dangerously.

�This just got serious.� She growled and grabbed Urahara by the wrist. She turned on her heels and raced to the ladder that lead back to the house dragging a slightly stunned Urahara Kisuke behind her. She came to a grinding halt near the foot of the ladder and with her remaining momentum threw the blonde pervert up through the opening and into the house above. She smirked before she used shunpo to join Urahara on the house level. She found him on his ass, rubbing the back of his head, �There was no need to throw me through the opening like a doll.� He growled softly while she hid a laugh behind her right hand.

�Oh I don�t know. I thought it was rather fun.� She snickered and he sighed as he got to his feet dusting his robes off. �Go find Ichigo and I�ll go see if Hitsugaya Taichou is awake yet. I believe they will still be in the spring. They�ll be milking their downtime I�m sure.� He said in an off-handed manner and didn�t bother waiting for her to answer as he made his way back into the main house. She sighed and rolled her eyes at his retreating form. �You�re hiding something Urahara Kisuke.� She said softly before she too made her way to find Ichigo.

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

~Red eyes, so many red eyes.~

The small form of Hitsugaya Toushiro thrashed helplessly in a fit of dark and broken nightmares. Soft, pleading whimpers and cries fell from a slender constricted throat as fingers clawed at the bedding beneath him. He was lost in a world of darkness and counterbalancing gleaming blood. It draped him in a veil of iridescent red and he was frightened. Watched, he was being watched while shadowed hands clawed at his stomach.

~It burns! Someone help me, PLEASE!~

The gentle pressure of warm human touch stilled the child, �Follow me, Toushiro. You�ll be fine if you listen to my voice.� Came a gentle whisper in the midst of pain and the straining body fell lax against the bedding. �Come now, Toushiro you�re not going to let a nightmare control you, are you?� the whisper grew in intensity causing the red to recede and a calm to settle in it�s place. �That�s a good boy. Come to me.� It was now loud and clear. The soothing, but clearly adamant voice settled into his mind pulling him slowly to the surface of consciousness.

Tired aqua green eyes drifted open to take in surrounds momentarily unfamiliar to the owner. �I�m glad to see you have awoken. I thought my voice wouldn�t get through to your subconscious.� Came a deep, purring voice to his left. He became aware of a hand being pulled away from his forehead, �The warm touch?� the white haired boy thought fuzzily. �You were crying out in your sleep. You looked to be in a large amount of pain I had to wake you.� Hitsugaya could finally place a face to the voice as his vision finally stopped swimming.

Urahara Kisuke knelt beside his futon with a look of relief on his face or that�s what Hitsugaya thought it was since his striped hat covered his eyes. Hitsugaya slowly sat up so as not to cause his head to swim. Once he was sitting upright he glanced over at the blonde, �Thank you, Kisuke.� He said quietly. Suddenly Urahara�s head snapped up and a look of shock was clearly written on his face. Hitsugaya had jerked back slightly at the quick movement and looked questioningly at the strange blonde.

�You called me by my name.� He said slowly as a smile slowly began to take control of his features. Hitsugaya�s body jerked when he realized he had indeed called him Kisuke, �Don�t get excited. My mind is fuzzy and I don�t know what I�m saying.� He said in a way of excuse. Urahara smiled wider and settled a hand in the silky white hair atop Hitsugaya�s head. �What ever you say, little one.� He laughed and stood pulling a now fuming Hitsugaya up with him. �I�m not little!� he huffed and Urahara laughed harder, �If you don�t reach my shoulder then you�re little.�

Hitsugaya was about to defend himself, but the crafty blonde didn�t give him a chance to give voice to the matter. �I�m assuming you are well enough to tell me exactly what happened the night before.� Urahara stated rather than asked and Hitsugaya looked up at him, �I�m fine.� He said softly though he was loath to admit that his nightmare had left him slightly rattled. He wasn�t about to let it get the better of him for he was a Taichou after all. Everyone had nightmares and that�s all they were, nothing more. �I�m glad of that. There are issues I want clarified so they can be dealt with in accordance.� Urahara said as he aloud the boy to dress in his usual captain�s uniform then led the boy genius down the hall back to the main room of the house.

�It took you long enough.� Came Yoruichi�s voice from one end of the low-rise table. On either side of her was Nova and Cloud. Ichigo, Orihime and Ririn were across from her as Hitsugaya and Urahara entered the room. Hitsugaya slowly lowered himself onto a pillow near the table and Urahara took up a place beside him. �Well, now that we are all here could we proceed so I can return to Seireitei.� Yoruichi said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

�Very well.� Urahara said and turned toward Hitsugaya and Ichigo. �Lets here it.� He said simply and it was Hitsugaya who decided to pipe up first. �I don�t really understand what�s going on, but it seems that the Bounto, Kariya, has found an interest in me. When I came in close quarters with him��he caught me.� He growled the last part and looked at the ground, �He said I smelt familiar to him, like someone named Yoshino.� Everyone stiffened and he heard Orihime gasp slightly. He looked up to see looks of shock written on nearly everyone�s faces.

Yoruichi glanced over at Urahara and saw that he too looked slightly shocked at what Hitsugaya Taichou had said, �What�s this all about, Urahara?� Yoruichi growled in warning and Urahara looked at her. She froze at the look of seriousness written on his usually passive face. �Hitsugaya Taichou, you remember that I told you about a woman Bounto that was killed?� Urahara asked slowly and Hitsugaya�s eyes widened as it fell back into place, �Yoshino!� he breathed. �He said you smelt like her.� Ichigo voiced again and Urahara stiffened.

�She had the ability to reproduce. Something no Bounto could do. Does that mean Hitsugaya-kun has the ability to reproduce Dolls like she did?� Orihime spoke up for the first time in a while, worry clear in her voice. Urahara shook his head, �We can�t be so sure Orihime-san. It could be that he has the power to reproduce dolls, but it seems unlikely. However, we rule out nothing at this point.� Urahara said seriously and turned his gaze on Yoruichi, �You heard what had to be said, now take the information back to Seireitei so they can look into it. Something may be in the records of Shinigami being able to reproduce, Bounto Doll�s or otherwise.�

Yoruichi nodded solemnly and rose to her feet gracefully. She made for the door when she stopped and looked back over her shoulder, �Is it wise to have Hitsugaya Taichou remain here in the realm of the living?� she questioned with narrowed eyes. The group looked at her as Urahara snapped his fan open. He snapped the fan shut a moment later and was about to answer when the foundation of the building shook violently tossing the occupants of the room onto their backs. The sound of china and potted plants could be heard shattering throughout the house. Hitsugaya, Ichigo, Urahara and Yoruichi managed to get to their feet long enough to be tossed bodily to the floor as another vicious tremor tore through the house.

�What the fuck!� Ichigo yelled out as everyone scrambled to their feet, �It�s the Bounto!� Ririn cried out as she clung to Cloud. Ichigo snarled like a trapped animal and ran to the door separating the house from the shop and tore it open. He dashed through with Hitsugaya, Yoruichi, Orihime and Urahara hot on his heels. They ran through the front entrance to the store only to be blasted back against the damaged structure of the building. Their bodies were pinned to the side of the building and the pressure holding them in place continued to crush them until it was nearly likely that their bones would begin breaking.

Ichigo cried out as his reiatsu flared in frustration. Hitsugaya felt the flare and knew Ichigo was trying to break free of the constricting pressure. The child prot�g� threw out his reiatsu to assist Ichigo as Urahara and Yoruichi followed suit. With the burst of four powerful reiatsu the crushing force was dissipated and the five crumpled to the ground coughing as air flowed back to their lungs. �Impressive. I wasn�t expecting you all to raise your reiatsu.� Came a familiar chuckling voice. All eyes settled on the visage of Kariya Jin.

�Orihime. Go back inside and make sure the others are all right. Tell Tessai to take the children into hiding. He will know where to go. I want you to accompany him and help keep the children safe. Understand.� Urahara bit out, but didn�t look at her. He kept his eyes held firm on Kariya�s confident form. She hesitated for only a second before nodding her head sharply, �Hai!� she turned and ran back inside. The remaining four fell into fighting stances as Hitsugaya made to reach for Hyourinmaru when he froze. His Zanpakuto was still in his�� Hitsugaya Taichou! Your sword!� came Orihime�s voice from the door.

Hitsugaya turned and flashed the girl a sweet smile, �You couldn�t have better timing.� He said to her as she smiled back and disappeared back inside. Hitsugaya once again faced Kariya as Hyourinmaru�s familiar weight settles against his palm. Beside him Ichigo pulled out the artefact that Ukitake had given him months ago. He slammed it down onto his chest and in a flash of light Ichigo stood as a Shinigami while his flesh and blood body lay on the ground behind him. Urahara had drawn Benihime from within the sheath of his cane and Yoruichi held a ready stance.

�All ready to fight to the death I see. We should even the odds a little since I�m feeling so horribly outnumbered. Shall I introduce some of my comrades? I believe only the little Strawberry knows them all.� Kariya said with that leering smile firmly in place. He held his arms wide as other Bounto appeared by his side. Ichigo, on the other hand, was seething about Kariya calling him �little Strawberry�. Hitsugaya saw the teenager�s muscles tensing for an attack and before the boy could launch himself at the Bounto Hitsugaya thrust Hyourinmaru out in front of him. �Calm yourself Kurosaki. He�s trying to provoke you into attacking blindly. Don�t move.� Hitsugaya growled and Ichigo settled back into a ready stance.

Kariya chuckled, �Very wise.� He said shortly and then turned his head in the direction of one of his comrades, �This is Koga.� He pointed at a large man with a spiked orange mohawk. �This is Yoshi.� He then pointed to a psychotic looking woman with dark green hair and a Chinese style outfit. �This is Ichinose Maki. You recognize him don�t you?� He gestured to a dark haired young man in altered Shinigami robes. �And this wild young man is Mabashi.� The teenage Bounto stuck his tongue out and dragged the appendage across his bottom lip revealing a tongue stud. He wore a strange style of clothing and had red orange hair with bangs covering one entire side of his face.

�I want the boy with white hair. Do whatever it takes, but don�t kill him.� Kariya ordered and the Bounto launched into action. Kariya stood back and watched the fray as his comrades went straight for Hitsugaya. He watched as the blonde intercepted Koga and the dark haired woman slashed at Yoshi. The two Bounto jumped back to avoid the attack, but the two ex-Shinigami were relentless and more than determined to protect the pretty white haired child Captain. Maki was half a foot from the boy and made a reach for him when he suddenly collided bodily with the young substitute Shinigami. He grunted slightly as Ichigo drove him backwards away from the pretty target.

Maki snarled and snapped his head to the side and Ichigo saw a blur jump past him. He had no more time to ponder it as he focused on attacking Maki. He had to keep the rogue Shinigami from getting his hands on Hitsugaya. Ichigo had no desire to find out what the consequences would be if Kariya had the feisty Taichou in his control. Ichigo scowled when he saw the sadistic smile on Kariya�s face as he glanced over Maki�s shoulder, �I will have him.� he said so all could hear. The orange haired teen snarled and bore down on the powerful ex-Shinigami.

Hitsugaya saw the blur coming towards him and jumped back out of the way. He held Hyourinmaru at waist level and kept his sharp green eyes on the dark orange haired teenage like Bounto in front of him. The Bounto moved again until he was gripping at the hilt of Hitsugaya�s sword. Mabashi pulled them together so Hitsugaya couldn�t swing Hyourinmaru properly, �Hey baby.� Mabashi growled. The insane Bounto leaned the few inches over and licked at the shell of Hitsugaya�s ear. The white haired Taichou jerked away with a cry of disgust and managed to wrench Hyourinmaru and himself from Mabashi�s grip. �There is something seriously wrong with these people! Why is it that since I�ve got here I�ve been nothing but molested!� he screamed at himself as he jumped clear of Mabashi.

�Hey Kariya! He�s delicious! I bet he�ll make a great fuck!� Mabashi yelled and Hitsugaya nearly choked on his own breath. Kariya laughed aloud, �Try and keep your mind out of the gutter, Mabashi! He is not to be touched until I find out more about him.� Kariya called back. �B�bastard!� Hitsugaya snarled and launched himself at Mabashi bring Hyourinmaru down on the Bounto Teen. Mabashi managed to jump back far enough to only receive a shallow wound on his left shoulder. The Bounto stumbled back and brought his hand to the wound as blood began to trickle from the abrasion. He pulled his hand away to find blood on his palm and the Bounto growled savagely as a sadistic smile forced its way onto his face.

�Nice hit, baby. You almost had me.� He chuckled as Hitsugaya�s eyes narrowed dangerously, �Count yourself luck asshole, but you�ll be dead before you know it.� Hitsugaya bit out, but the smile on Mabashi�s face only became more dangerous as he unzipped the collar of his shirt to reveal a red choker and pendant like seed around his neck. He took hold of it and broke it off the choker letting it drop to the ground. The seed disappeared into the soil, �Show yourself Rizu.� He said and all of half a second later the ground cracked at his feet and a strange purple weed like creature emerged from the ground.

Hitsugaya watched as it transformed into a flower like mouse creature. It was disturbing, really. �This is Rizu. She�ll make you nice and pliant for me.� He chuckled darkly as he let his tongue slide past his lips in a suggestive manner. Hitsugaya bulked away from the crazy Bounto and his Doll. Mabashi quickly glanced over his shoulder at Kariya, �Can I play with the little beauty?� he asked excitedly. Kariya shook his head, �Maybe later, but for now I want this done as quickly as possible. Take control of him and be done with it.� Kariya replied to the obvious disappointment of Mabashi.

He sighed, �Very well Kariya.� He finally said and turned back to Hitsugaya with a leering smile in place. �You heard the boss, Rizu. Take him!� he gestures at Hitsugaya and Rizu jumped into action, �Understood.� She said in a bell like tone. Hitsugaya had barely any time to react as a blur of sharp light flew past his right shoulder. The genius Captain was then suddenly flung forward onto the ground as the tree behind him combusted suddenly. He managed to escape another onslaught by rolling onto his back and yet again Rizu attacked. Hitsugaya was given only enough time to drag his body out of the way so that the creature punctured a hole into the ground between his legs.

Ichigo watched, as Hitsugaya was able to barely dodge the attacks from the blur flying around him. However, in that second he looked away Maki slashed Ichigo across his left hip and then just as quickly reversed his Zanpakuto and smashed the butt of the hilt into ichigo�s stomach. The teen gasped for air as he coughed up blood a second later collapsing into the dirt below him. Maki used shunpo to appear behind Hitsugaya and was about to grab the small boy so Rizu could take control of him when Yoshi�s body crashed into him sending them both flying into the dirt.

Yoruichi was panting from slight exertion as she bled from a few shallow wounds to her arm and side. �Don�t get in my way bitch!� she growled and went to aid Hitsugaya with his problem. However, she didn�t make it more than a few feet when a savage wind tossed her body against a tree. It pushed down on her body until the tree began cracking, �I can�t have you interfering with Mabashi and Rizu, now can I?� Kariya chuckled as Yoruichi fell to the ground momentarily unconscious.

Kariya watched as Urahara, who was fighting with Koga, tensed and glared death down on him. He made to lunge at Kariya when Koga intervened with Daruku. Urahara slashed at the metal spider like woman with Benihime in an easy attempt to protect himself. He deflected Daruku�s attack easily enough, but Kariya could see he was starting to tire a little. His bloody gaze fell back to Hitsugaya who was still trying to take Rizu down. He could also see that Mabashi was becoming frustrated that the feisty Taichou wouldn�t give in and make his capture easy.

Maki groaned lightly and shoved Yoshi off of him as Yoruichi regained consciousness, �Useless.� The ex-Shinigami muttered as he stood up. One look at Kariya and he knew that the powerful Bounto wanted this over quickly. Maki was more than ready to end this skirmish and used shunpo to trap Hitsugaya while twisting his wrist enough so he let go of Hyourinmaru. �Shall we make this easier for Kariya-sama.� He whispered in Hitsugaya�s ear. He felt the Taichou jerk in his grip as a soft gasp fell from his lips. His body gave a sudden spasm in Maki�s grasp as Rizu imbedded herself in Hitsugaya�s chest.

Hitsugaya�s green eyes widened in fright as the Doll began disappearing into his chest. Quite suddenly Mabashi was bent over in front of him so he was eye level with the boy genius. �Caught you, baby.� He chuckled as he straightened up. The boy�s body froze as the last of Rizu disappeared within his body. All fighting ceased as everyone watched Hitsugaya�s body crumple into Maki�s arms. �Hitsugaya!� Ichigo called in alarm as Urahara jumped to attack. �Toushiro!� he yelled as Yoruichi saw the usually collected blonde run in blindly to assist the white haired child genius and she knew that it was a bad move. She got to her feet used shunpo and tackled Urahara to the ground just in time to avoid an attack from the metal spider like doll. Mabashi ignored the events happening around him being too absorbed in the fact that he finally caught the boy.

�You fucking idiot! What were you thinking opening yourself up to an undefended attack! You could have been killed!� she screamed at him from her position on his back. �Have you lost all your senses!� and she felt Urahara shift below her. The blonde watched as Maki passed Hitsugaya�s limp body into Mabashi�s arms and he felt the hairs on the nape of his neck rise. He snarled and began pushing himself to his feet as Yoruichi shifted off his back. He knew she was surprised at his vocalized anger considering he rarely, if ever, showed anything close to such an emotion.

His reiatsu flared as he stood; back stiff, on his feet. Yoruichi actually backed away from the blonde shop owner and Ichigo stared slack jawed at the man who had trained him so long ago. Even Kariya gave the slack man a second glance as he began to advance on Mabashi eyes hidden under the rim of his striped hat. His reiatsu physically manifested around his body causing his clothing to lash wildly about him. Maki noticed the murderous nature of the man�s reiatsu and wisely left Mabashi�s side to relocate at a safer distance. However, Mabashi didn�t look concerned as he held Hitsugaya to his chest with one arm and ran his other hand through the boy�s soft white hair.

�My, my such an ugly mood. He�s not dead if you�re wondering.� Mabashi snickered as the hand petting Hitsugaya�s hair slid down to his forehead and over his eyes where it paused for a brief moment before pulling away. He snapped his fingers and they could see Hitsugaya�s body shift as his eyes snapped open. He moved in Mabashi�s arms and the Bounto slowly released him with a soft laugh. Urahara froze as Hitsugaya turned to face him with vacant green eyes. �See he�s perfectly fine� well sort of. He�s under Rizu�s control, which thusly puts him under my control. Now then, tell me your name, sweetheart.� He said as he leant over Hitsugaya�s shoulder and whispered the last of his sentence into his ear.

Hitsugaya remained motionless in front of the Bounto as he responded, �Hitsugaya��. Toushiro.� And the wicked smile on Mabashi�s face spread, �Lovely name for a lovely boy. It suits you.� He chuckled as he tilted Hitsugaya�s head to the side and ran his tongue over the Taichou�s exposed neck and cheek. �Make it quick Mabashi. I don�t want anything to go wrong.� Came Kariya�s voice, �I know! Now then, go pick up your sword Toushiro and return to my side.� He said as he placed a well-aimed, open palmed slap to Hitsugaya�s ass. Hitsugaya walked slowly over to his Zanpakuto and picked it up as he turned and made his way back to Mabashi�s side.

Urahara tensed, �So his Doll is controlling Toushiro.� He thought as he saw Ichigo slip back inside the store out of the corner of his eye, �What�s he up too?� however, Urahara�s line of thought was cut short as Hitsugaya collided with his body. He had just enough forewarning to raise Benihime in defence as Hyourinmaru was brought down in attack. �You should pay more attention, old man. He could have sliced you in two.� Mabashi laughed as Hitsugaya lunged at Urahara again bring their blades crashing against each other in a synchronization of metal.

Urahara had no choice but to fight with the powerful Taichou. The boy could do serious damage if his full reiatsu was called on. The two drove together in what could only be described as an erotic dance of bodies and steel. Urahara would twist away and Hitsugaya would follow gracefully after him, eyes a hollow shell. They slashed and jumped around each other in intricate manoeuvres, much to Mabashi�s sheer distaste even if he had to admit that the white haired child genius was lithe and extremely enticing to watch. He wanted to see blood! He wanted screams! �I want you to kill him, Toushiro!� he yelled as Hitsugaya disappeared only to reappear behind Urahara. The little Taichou slashed Hyourinmaru in an upward arc across Urahara�s back.

The blonde choked slightly as he stumbled forward his blood running from the fresh wound on his back. His blood clung to the edge of Hitsugaya�s Zanpakuto and slowly slid from the blade to drip onto the ground below. Urahara turned sharply bringing Benihime around with him only to have Hitsugaya jump lightly away landing without a sound. �Calm down you idiot. You�re getting all flustered like an inexperienced recruit!� Yoruichi�s firm voice ripped through the haze that had taken control of Urahara�s judgement. He stopped to reprimand himself mentally for losing his calm and thinking like someone that was entirely not himself.

He didn�t quite understand why he had lost his composure to begin with, but he knew he needed it in order to help Hitsugaya. He began to move when he saw an orange and black blur move past him. He watched as Hitsugaya was knocked onto his back with none other than Kurosaki Ichigo holding him down with one hand firmly wrapped around his throat. The other hand was grasping Hyourinmaru�s hilt just above Hitsugaya�s hands and forcing it into the dirt above the boy�s head. �NOW ORIHIME!� he yelled and said girl ran from the shop entrance and proceeded to nearly jump on Hitsugaya firmly wrapping him in a hug.

�Shun�ou, Ayame! Kotenzanshun!� she cried and Mabashi�s eyes widened, �Fuck! Not her again! Rizu, get him away from her now!� he yelled in sudden anger. �I reject!� she called out and Hitsugaya fell still. Ichigo flinched as the Bounto�s Doll let loose an unholy shriek of pain before exiting Hitsugaya�s body. Hitsugaya�s eye�s cleared and fell shut as he succumbed to sleep. �Thank you Inoue.� Ichigo murmured and she smiled softly up at her friend. �You bitch! I should kill you!� Mabashi yelled as Rizu retreated to his shoulder clearly upset.

Urahara took control of their opportunity and used shunpo to quickly pick Hitsugaya up cradling him to his chest. �Ichigo, Inoue! Lets get out of here!� he called as he used shunpo to escape followed shortly by Yoruichi. Ichigo gaze one last frustrated glance in Kariya�s direction and was happy to see that the Bounto was not pleased with the turn of events. Ichigo smiled and grabbed a hold of Inoue who was holding Hyourinmaru and use shunpo to leave the area quickly. Kariya bit back a snarl and turned to Mabashi, �What did I tell you Mabashi.� Kariya voiced so calmly that Mabashi stepped back a few paces.

�I�m�.sorry Kariya! I didn�t think they would get that girl to come and help!� Mabashi said starting to panic at the display of deadly calm Kariya carried. �I�ll let it slide just this once. If I can�t have him in my possession I want his blood. I need some of his blood to run a few tests in the very least. Get me some of his blood and I may forgive your ignorance.� Kariya said. Mabashi nodded quickly and made quick his retreat as Kariya turned to Maki, �Make sure he does as he�s told, nothing more, nothing less.� Maki bowed his head in respect and disappeared a second later. �Koga, Yoshi! Lets go.� He said to the other two remaining Bounto. They nodded slowly and the three of them left no more a trace of dust that they were ever there.

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

�I can�t believe that fucking bastard! He had the nerve to attack in broad daylight!� Ichigo nearly screamed as Urahara finally came to a stop in a place he obviously felt safe enough in. �Calm yourself Ichigo.� Yoruichi said in warning and Ichigo grudgingly fell quiet. �Uuummm� Urahara-san?� Inoue asked quietly as she watched the blonde seat himself against the wall of the cave they were hiding in with Hitsugaya in his lap. Said blonde looked up at her from under his ever-present striped hat, �Yes Orihime-Chan.� He said just as softly. �What about the others still left at the shop?� she asked after a moments silence.

Urahara smiled up at the usually cheery girl, �They will be fine. Tessai is with them and besides they can all hold their own anyway. I have no worries about their welfare. Relax for now. We don�t know how long our peace will last.� Was his reply with a comforting, if all be it lazy, smile plastered onto his face. Inoue visibly relaxed and sat down next to Urahara so she could run her fingers soothingly through Hitsugaya�s hair. �I don�t understand? Why is he still sleeping when Kuchiki-San was able to wake up for the possession only shortly after?� she suddenly asked as Hitsugaya unconsciously lent into her caresses.

Urahara looked over at her slightly puzzled until it sunk in, �I assume he�s healing his body further. It�s a fail safe really. He needs to replenish his reiatsu so he sleeps. It�s most likely on the bidding of Hyourinmaru since Hitsugaya is still very young. However, that reminds me of how you knew to expel the Doll from his body? And what does it have to do with our Rukia?� he asked with a raised eyebrow and knowing smile. Orihime blushed and looked at Ichigo who nodded slightly, �This happened to Kuchiki-San when we fought that Bounto a while back. His Doll possessed Kuchiki-San and forced her to fight us using nearly all of her reiatsu to do it. I had to help her and that was the only way I knew how.� She said and he nodded, �So you were guessing.� He stated rather than questioned.

�Per say.� She replied, �I can heal people so why couldn�t that have been any different.� Urahara nodded again, �Good answer.� Was all he said and fell silent again watching Orihime continue to run her fingers through Hitsugaya�s hair. �So what do we do now?� Ichigo suddenly voiced and Urahara looked to the orange haired teen, �Isn�t it obvious, Kurosaki-kun. We have to go back to Soul Society, back to Seireitei where Hitsugaya Taichou will be safer.� Was the blonde�s answer.

�Then I�m coming with you.� Ichigo said determination dripping from his voice and all Urahara could do was sigh. �Very well Kurosaki-Kun, but only you and Yoruichi will accompany me.� He said and turned to Yoruichi in turn, �I�m sorry for calling you here when I now intend to return to Seireitei myself.� And Yoruichi just shook her head at the mysterious blonde. �There�s no denying that I�m mad about that, but I must admit that where you and Ichigo are involved interesting things follow. So I was entertained at the very least.� She shrugged half-heartedly and Urahara laughed.

�I see. Well we will rest here regardless and within an hour we will leave for Soul Society.� He said in a gentle manner belying the concern and underlying rage in his nearly hidden eyes. Yoruichi looked towards the mouth of the cave with a curious look on her face as a Hell Butterfly entered the cave to come and hover beside her, �It seems that Soifon Taichou is requesting my presence back in Seireitei immediately.� Yoruichi said while looking at the Hell Butterfly fluttering before her. �I�m sorry, Kisuke, but I have to take my leave. I will met with you in Seireitei in a few hours then?� she asked but knew he would say yes. He nodded, �Tell her that clinging is unbecoming of a special forces Captain.� He said with a smile. Yoruichi smiled back and left through the Senkaimon with the Hell Butterfly.

Urahara sighed as the Senkaimon closed sealing the way to Soul Society once again, �Ichigo.� He said as the orange haired teen turned his scowl on him, �I want you to escort Orihime-San back to the shop. She will be better off with Tessai for now. If you want to return to Soul Society with me then come back here as soon as possible. I won�t wait long.� Ichigo nodded and stood up holding his hand out to help Orihime stand up. �Come one Orihime. I�ll take you back.� He said and she gladly took his hand. He lifted Orihime onto his back in what Urahara dubbed a rather twisted version of a piggyback.

�I�ll be back as soon as possible.� He stated as he made for the mouth of the cave, �No longer than an hour Kurosaki-Kun.� Was Urahara�s unneeded reply. �Right.� Ichigo said in return and disappeared using Shunpo. Urahara relaxed against the wall of the cave continuing to cradle Hitsugaya against his chest, �Finally, nothing but silence.� He muttered as he glanced down at Hitsugaya�s sleeping form, �You look so delicate when you sleep��. what am I saying you�re delicate looking no matter what you�re doing.� He laughed softly as Hitsugaya shifted in his sleep.

�I�d say you�re about finished your nap.� Urahara said with a knowing smile as he leaned down against Hitsugaya, �Wake up, Toushiro.� He said and the boy shifted again in the throws of waking. Urahara transferred Hitsugaya onto the ground and stood up stretching his muscles. He watched as Hitsugaya raised himself onto his hands and then sat up. He turned himself till he was facing Urahara and rubbed his eyes with his fists in a clearly childlike manner. The boy suddenly froze when he realized what he was doing and he pulled his hands swiftly away from his eyes. His cheeks tinged pink with embarrassment.

�I�m glad to see you are feeling better.� Urahara said with a leering smile on his face as Hitsugaya growled a warning at the blonde. He walked over to Hitsugaya and handed him Hyourinmaru. The little Taichou took it without saying a word the blush still clear on his face, �If he knew he had been in my lap he would have died from his embarrassment.� Urahara thought with a little laugh to himself. �We will be waiting for Kurosaki-Kun to return and then we will leave for Soul Society.� Urahara told the white haired boy. Said boy looked up at the blonde, �It�s the only way to find out why Kariya wants you.� Urahara replied to the unasked question.

�Very well.� Hitsugaya said, but suddenly pulled back as Urahara took hold of his arm and pulled the child genius to his feet, �While we�re waiting care to join me in the hot spring further inside the cave.� The blonde asked and without waiting for an answer began the drag the boy further into the cave. �How do you know there is a hot spring here?� he asked with a suspicious look unseeing at the blonde�s back. �I come here for some quiet time. Even I want to get away from stress like any normal person.� He said in a way of explanation. �You�re far from normal.� Hitsugaya muttered darkly, �Besides I don�t think it�s time to be taking a bath.� He finished and Urahara chuckled, �We�re filthy and you haven�t bathed since you got here two days ago.�

Hitsugaya felt his cheeks heat up in mortification and was about to comment on Urahara�s statement when his gaze landed on Urahara�s bloodied back. �Your back!� he said shocked as the blonde stopped walking and released Hitsugaya�s wrist. He looked over his shoulder as if attempting to see the damage, �It�s a price you pay when you act foolish.� Was all he said and began to strip. Hitsugaya blushed harder as the blonde�s pants and underwear fell to the ground. �What are you doing!� the boy yelled nearly horrified as Urahara turned to look at him causing Hitsugaya to look away in embarrassment.

�I�m undressing so I can get in the water.� Urahara shifted to gesture at the spring behind him. Hitsugaya swallowed thickly as he slowly began to undress as well. When he was finally left nude he turned to see that Urahara was already standing hip deep in the warm waters. Hitsugaya gasped and covered himself, �Stop staring, pervert!� he yelled as Urahara waded back over to the edge of the spring and grabbed his wrist pulling the shocked Taichou into the water. Hitsugaya gave a cry of surprise as he fell into the water, which incidentally had him landing in Urahara�s arms. His body settled against the blonde�s own wet body and he couldn�t help but squeak in embarrassment.

He pulled away and fell back into the water. Urahara merely smiled and patted the boy�s now damp hair. Hitsugaya quickly fell back into his usual mood and slapped the blonde�s hand away, �How dare you!� he growled. Urahara laughed and turned around to wade away to the other end of the spring to reach onto a little ledge. Hitsugaya�s anger was quickly forgotten when he saw the damage done to Urahara�s back. Urahara�s back muscles jumped slightly when he felt soft fingers press into his back. He turned his head to see Hitsugaya run his fingers over his blood covered back with his head bowed to the water. �I did this didn�t I.� He said in an uncharacteristically soft manner, �It�s nothing to worry about. I was the one who let my guard down.� He said in an attempt at calming.

�I can clean it for you.� Hitsugaya nearly whispered and Urahara had to strain his ears in order to hear him. A smile fell onto the blonde�s face and he straddled a ledge under the water so Hitsugaya could get better access to the wound. He felt a sudden shiver of pleasure run up his spine as surprisingly soft hands rubbed the blood and dirt from the wound. Urahara had to admit that the boy had talented hands; very talented hands considering that just his touch was making him hard. �Oh fuck.� He thought. However, after only moments into the ministrations did it suddenly stop and Urahara had to bite back a growl at the lack of contact when he heard a quiet hissing sound.

�It healed.� Hitsugaya said and Urahara suddenly remembered that the water had healing properties. �It seems I have forgotten that the water has healing properties.� He chuckled and Hitsugaya pulled away, �Forgot my ass! You were taking advantage of me!� Hitsugaya yelled but froze as Urahara suddenly turned around and grabbed Hitsugaya by the wrist once again and pulled the boy against him. Hitsugaya had no time to respond when Urahara brought his lips down firmly on Hitsugaya�s soft lips. The boy gasped and Urahara took advantage of the parted lips as he pushed his tongue into the warm, wet depth. He moved against Hitsugaya�s body and pulled the boy flush with him causing Hitsugaya to struggle.

The white haired Taichou finally managed to get himself out of Urahara�s hold as he stumbled back and slipped trying to get away. He scrambled back to his feet as his hand covered his mouth eyes wide with shock. Urahara stood before him not giving away anything as Hitsugaya scrambled out of the water and in his haste to escape he grabbed only his kimono and sash, which he had tucked into the sleeve of his kimono prior to being pulled into the water. Urahara watched the child genius run from him and couldn�t help but feel like an ass for asserting himself on the boy even if he hadn�t entirely known what he was doing himself. �Fuck.� He swore.

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

Hitsugaya stumbled from the cave�s entrance and into the bushes the shock from being kissed by Urahara Kisuke still controlling his body and better judgement of running out into the open completely naked. He kept running until he was certain that enough distance had been put between him and the impulsive blonde before he collapsed to his knees. His hand found its way to his lips and to his surprise he could still feel Urahara�s mouth against his, could still taste the blonde man on his tongue. It frightened him in the fact that he had actually found it kind of thrilling. It surprised and angered him at how it had come about, but he still could not disguise the fact that he had liked it to a degree. It was his first ever kiss.

He would have stayed in his stupor if a small cool breeze hadn�t passed over his body letting his mind know he was still naked and wet. He quickly pulled on his black kimono and tied the sash tight realizing that he now resembled Kurotsuchi Nemu in the way she wore here Vice Captain�s uniform. �Just great! I was stupid enough not to grab my hakama!� he growled in frustration. He felt so irritated about the way he reacted, but he felt justified enough to react the way he did, however childish it may have been.

Urahara had no right to do something like that to him, �He had no right to kiss me that way!� he said in a near yell. However, Hitsugaya�s body suddenly stiffened as he heard chuckling coming from his right, �Who had no right to kiss you? Well I got news for you, baby. I can do way worse.� Came a voice Hitsugaya found nerve wracking. He surged to his feet and made to reach for his none existent Zanpakuto. His green eyes widened in further shock as he realised he was unarmed and barely dressed. He was vulnerable in all senses of the word and that upset him. He whipped around till he was facing his attacker.

Mabashi stepped out of the trees smiling lecherously at the half naked boy, �My, my you�re only half dressed.� He said licking his lips as Hitsugaya unknowingly backed away from the Bounto teen. �You have nice legs, sweetheart and I bet they�d look even better wrapped around me.� He said lewdly making bile rise in Hitsugaya�s throat. The Bounto stalked towards him causing Hitsugaya to unconsciously step back. � I wonder why you�re all alone? And half naked?� he asked with a twisted smile on his face causing a blush to form on Hitsugaya�s young face. In that second of inattention he felt arms close around him crushing him to Mabashi�s body. �You�re rather distracted aren�t you.�

He threw Hitsugaya to the ground and before Histugaya could even think of escaping Mabashi was on top of him. His weight crushed Hitsugaya�s small body as the white haired child thrashed wildly below the Bounto. �GET OFF OF ME!� he cried as his wrists were seized in the crushing grip of Mabashi�s left hand. Mabashi was becoming slowly annoyed with the boy�s struggles and decided it was best to silence him. With a crack of flesh on flesh Hitsugaya fell quiet his head being forced to snap to the right from the force of the slap. �That�s better.� Mabashi laughed darkly as he seized the back of Hitsugaya�s thigh in his hand forcing his leg out and exposing him to the Bounto. Said Bounto instantly suffered a hard-on.

�You�re a naughty little boy not wearing any underwear.� He said as he glanced Hitsugaya up and down letting his gaze linger lustfully between the Taichou�s soft, quiver thighs. �You make this too easy for me.� He said as he reached for the zipper at the front of his shorts. He needed to release some of the pressure currently being applied to his erection by said shorts. �Something tells me you�ll feel absolutely mind blowing wrapped around my cock.� He said darkly a sadistic smile controlling his features.

Hitsugaya saw him reaching to release his erection and panicked. He arched his body in an attempt to knock Mabashi off balance as he screamed for help, �NNNOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME!� Mabashi swore and quickly slapped the hand trying to free his erection over Hitsugaya�s mouth to silence him. �You can�t seem to do anything right today, can you.� Came yet another voice and Hitsugaya watched Mabashi stiffen growling low in his throat. Ichinose Maki walked out into the open with a soft scowl on his face. �Let him go and get the blood Kariya-Sama asked for. Urahara Kisuke will be here any minute. Don�t be so shocked Mabashi, if Urahara didn�t hear his unearthly scream then surely he felt the panicked rise in his reiatsu. Don�t tell me you were so absorbed in raping him that you didn�t feel the rise in his reiatsu?� Maki said in a tone that was clearly belittling Mabashi.

The teen Bounto growled and was about to retort when Urahara came crashing through the trees Benihime in one hand and Hitsugaya�s clothing and Zanpakuto in the other. Mabashi growled again and released Hitsugaya�s mouth and wrists only to replace his left hand in Hitsugaya�s soft white hair and pulled a switchblade from his pocket with his right. He wrenched the child�s head to the side savagely as Hitsugaya�s hands flew to the hand in his hair determined to dislodge it. The Bounto swiftly flicked the blade open and slashed Hitsugaya across his exposed right arm. He then quickly slapped a cloth over the wound so the warm blood infused with the fabric, �You got lucky.� He growled down at Hitsugaya and then jumped off of him. The two disappeared quietly into the forest as Urahara made his way to Hitsugaya�s side.

The blonde knelt down beside Hitsugaya and placed his Captain�s haori over his shaking body. �I�� the blonde began but Hitsugaya cut him off, �Don�t�..just don�t say anything. Let�s return to Seireitei and no more is to be spoken of this.� Hitsugaya stood on shaky legs and took his hakama from Urahara. He pulled on his haori and then turned his back to Urahara so he could pull on his hakama preserving what little dignity he felt he had left. His legs shook weakly and he hated himself for showing any kind of weakness. Why all this was happening to him was beyond his understanding at the moment and he promised himself he would lock himself away until he figured out why all this was happening. Why the Bounto wanted him? Why people seemed so sexually charged around him as of late? Why Urahara Kisuke had kissed him? He would find the answers he wanted.

Histugaya looked up just as Ichigo flashed into sight. He knew Ichigo wanted to ask about what happened but for some reason the boy said nothing. Hitsugaya was thankful for it and turned to summon a Hell Butterfly. The butterfly appeared along with the door to Soul Society and he walked through closely followed by Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo. Histugaya felt his legs continue to shake bellow him threatening to send him crashing to the ground, but he fought the sensation of weakness as the Senkaimon closed behind them.
