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

Too Little Too Late
Hitsugaya Toushiro took a deep relaxing breath as he felt the familiarity of Seireitei surround him. He felt once again at ease and the events of the past three days seemed like just a fictitious nightmare. The stress washed away knowing that he was once again home with the people he cared for, however, the tranquility was ruined by a certain blonde idiot who made himself known by his side with a short, hard stab to his unprotected side with his cane. Hitsugaya yelped and crumpled to the ground as Urahara looked down at him like he didn�t know what just caused the boy to fall. Hitsugaya snarled like an enraged tiger and stood up, �What was that for.� He said in a deadly tone causing their other comrade to distance himself for fear of his life.

�What was what?� Urahara feigned innocence causing Hitsugaya to act in a way he usually wouldn�t even consider. With a small growl he lashed out and snatched the disguised Zanpakuto from Urahara and caned the bastard hard across the backs of his knees. The blonde went down with his own suppressed yelp of surprise as his knees folded trapping his legs beneath him, �That�s for before.� Hitsugaya said coolly as he dropped the Zanpakuto beside the downed blonde and walked away. Ichigo was surprised, to say the least, and felt it wise to not ask any questions about the white haired Taichou�s sudden acrimony towards the blonde.

Ichigo took off after Hitsugaya leaving Urahara to collect himself and follow at a safe distance. The blonde rubbed his soar back and felt slightly betrayed at the fact that Benihime was laughing at him. He tuned his partner out and decided he would corner the little snowball later and have a talk with him. He was happy that Hitsugaya brought them straight into Seireitei and it would only be a matter of time before all the sudden mystery surrounding Hitsugaya could be put to rest.

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

�T�Taichou? �� TAICHOU!� squealed an ecstatic Matsumoto as Hitsugaya walked calmly into the tenth Division�s main office. The bubbly redhead jumped up from the couch she had been lounging on seconds ago and charged her small Taichou scooping the boy up and placing his head forcefully into the valley of her ample breasts. After grudgingly allowing her a moment of �cuddling� he let out a low growl, �Matsumoto.� He warned and she reluctantly released him. She stopped and the smile on her face fell away into a puzzled look, �What are you doing here?� she asked and Hitsugaya could already feel a headache mounting. �This is my office, is it not?� he said with a forced calm.

�That�s not what I meant Taichou. I meant to say what are you doing back so soon?� she said and the smile returned. Hitsugaya sighed and ran a hand through his snowy hair, �Things got a little complicated.� Was all he said and made for his desk only to freeze in his tracks at the site before him. �Matsumoto.� He said in a sickly sweet tone causing a shock of fear to run up Matsumoto Rangiku�s spine, �Yes Taichou.� She said with a nervous smile on her face and slowly began to turn around. She froze at the look on her Taichou�s adorable face as he stood by a mountain of untouched paperwork. �I�m gone for three days, only three days and I come back to find this on my desk! I told you to do the paperwork!� he said and by the end of his mini rant he had raised his voice a few decibels.

His redheaded Fukutaichou turned tail and ran, �MATSUMOTO!� he yelled after her. �Just remembered I need to go find Kira Fukutaichou!� she called over her shoulder as she used shunpo to make herself scarce. Hitsugaya felt the overwhelming urge to bash his head into the nearest hard surface, however, once his gaze fell on the insane pile of paperwork he sat down to finish it. Things like this were more ingrained into him than he ever cared to admit, but someone had to take care of the mindless drivel that was called paperwork and true to his word he did stay until it was done sometime around three in the morning.

Hitsugaya sighed as he set the last of the forms aside and rose from his chair with a crack of complaint from his back. He stretched languidly until he felt the telltale pop of his spine. He frowned thoughtfully, �Matsumoto must have gone out drinking again.� and he sighed as he made his way out of his office and into the night. He walked slowly through the compound of the tenth division looking at the stars overhead. His mind began wandering to the events of the last three days and his frown deepened. He may have been a boy genius, but he couldn�t wrap his mind around the reasons why everything was happening to him? He couldn�t understand why Kariya was so interested in him? He couldn�t understand why Urahara was continually forcing �attention� on him? And he couldn�t, for the life of him, understand why nearly everyone found sexual attraction in him?

It left Hitsugaya with more than just a little headache as he settled himself under a cherry tree in the main garden of the tenth division compound. He wanted, no had to know the answers to his questions even if he had to follow up on his earlier idea of locking himself away in the library. Well it would probably only solve one of his questions and maybe help with another, but it sure as hell wouldn�t help with the �Urahara situation�. The only way to solve that would be to actually confront the blonde pervert and that was something Toushiro didn�t want to do.

�Speaking of perverts, I haven�t heard or seen from him in hours?� he wondered and then stopped his line of thought all together. �What am I saying? I sound like I actually miss the bastard.� He growled and shook his head to clear his thoughts. He stood up and dusted himself off, �I think some sleep is in order. I�ll go to the library later today.� He said softly and made his way to his quarters, �And when I see Matsumoto she will be buried in a millennia�s worth of paperwork!�

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

�Now these are results I like.� Said a smiling Kariya as he sat back holding several pages of paper in his hands. �The blood sample confirms your findings I presume?� he asked a figure who stood languidly in the doorway. Ugaki stepped inside the room pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, �It did. It also helps to have technology that is compatible with Soul Society�s. The blood sample matched the sample that was recorded in the documents I took from Soul Society�s network.� He said with a dark smile the light glinting off his glasses. �He�s a very important little boy, isn�t he.� Kariya stated with hardly repressed joy. �However, I�m almost curious as to how you linked with Soul Society�s network.� Kariya added as an after thought.

�That�s my little secret.� Was all the reply he got as Ugaki left quietly and Kariya was too happy about the information to ask any further. He wasn�t really concerned with little details anyway not now that he knew why the boy held his interest. �Soul Society�s destruction just became that much sweeter.� He laughed softly and read through the papers once more to make sure he hadn�t missed anything. �So there are three steps to achieve the release and by what it says here he will most certainly have fun with the first two only to be completely crushed with the last. I would love to initiate the last level.� He chuckled, �Now all I need to do is get the ball rolling with the first level and hopefully the second won�t take long to fall into place. I can only interfere so much.�

Kariya stood from where he had been lounging in his chair and paced the room as Maki entered moments later. He glanced at the boy and smiled, �Maki I want you to keep tabs on the movements of the Strawberry and his group. If he appears then that means the blonde is most likely not far off. In fact I want you to watch the little Strawberry, I want him to take part in this little ritual.� Kariya said as he waved the papers around in his hand to show Maki what he was talking about. �Of course Kariya.� He said and made to leave.

�Hold on a minute Maki.� Kariya said and left the room for a moment before he returned holding a small vile in his hand. �When next you see the little Strawberry give him this with a little kiss. It has a lovely little influence I�ve wanted to try out and with his power level he�d be perfect.� He said with a laugh as he handed the vile to Maki who nodded and left. Kariya sat back down in his chair with a smug smile on his face, �Let the ritual begin.�

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

Hitsugaya slowly fell into consciousness as the noises of a busy Seireitei could be heard through the walls of his room. He slowly rolled over onto his stomach and placed his hands beneath his body in order to hoist himself into a sitting position. He hadn�t meant to sleep for so long since it was clearly midday out side of his rooms, but he had felt so drained after the events of the previous day. So much had happened to the Taichou in three days that it left him with very little energy. He shifted upon his bed in an attempt to get up only to freeze when he felt a presence in his home. He slipped quietly from his futon and took Hyourinmaru in his hands as he made for the sliding door to his room dressed only in a pair of loose fitting pyjama pants.

He slid the ornate screen back and slunk into the adjoining room, his senses on full alert for anything abnormal. He felt slightly confused when he could hear the abnormal presence move about in his kitchen and his first thoughts were, �It�s only Matsumoto.� but that thought was set aside when he wondered why she was trying to suppress her reiatsu. She had no reason to since he found his busty Fukutaichou frequently raiding his cupboards. He fell back on his guard and tiptoed his way towards the kitchen when a thought came to him, �What if its that annoying blonde?� and with that thought came, �Now�s my chance to get even with the bastard for the other day.�

A sinister little smile of his own took control of his usual scowl and he proceeded to the kitchen to cut the bastard blonde a new one. However, he was stopped in his tracks once again when the reiatsu seemed to spike slightly in excitement leaving the boy slightly confused. That is until the reiatsu signature fell into place in his memory and at that point Hitsugaya just walked right into the kitchen placing one hand on his hip and tightening his grip around Hyourinmaru�s hilt.

He raised the sword still in its scabbard and brought it down hard on the surface of the countertop near his right. The intruder gave a startled cry and jumped half a foot into the air before whirling around to see who had snuck up on him. Hitsugaya forced down the smug look at catching Kurosaki Ichigo with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. �What are you doing in my home?� he growled out softly as Ichigo scratched the back of his head. �Rangiku sent me to get you. Something about paperwork.� He finished in a mumble watching the small Taichou visibly tense. �Paperwork you say�.� He said in a sweet growl and sent a frightening smile towards the strawberry blonde teen who flinched away. �Scary!� he thought distantly.

Histugaya whirled around and walked swiftly back to his room to change and then swiftly left his home to hunt down his lazy vice. Ichigo hurried after the white haired Taichou once again maintaining a safe distance from the boy lest he become an �Ichigo on ice�. It took Hitsugaya all of ten minutes to reach his office. He walked down the hall and managed to reach the sliding, wooden door in record time. He reached out and pulled the door to the side and gracefully entered his office to find Matsumoto in her usual spot reclined on the couch.

�Good afternoon Tai�..oh shit!� she said as she saw the look on his face. She felt that same nervous smile return to her face. �Uh�.thanks for finishing the paperwork.� She said as she felt the temperature in the room drop noticeably and saw Ichigo poke his head into the room and then swiftly retreat. �Finish��if I recall correctly, Matsumoto, I didn�t just finish the paperwork I started it!� he said sharply and she held up her hands in a gesture of calming. �I�m sorry Taichou!� she said in a pleading voice and hugged his small frame to her own. He glanced around her and saw that more paperwork had arrived in the time that he had been sleeping and smiled, �If you�re sorry Matsumoto then I suggest to finish all the new paperwork within the day.�

She released him and put as much distance between them as she could like he was a poisonous snake about to take a bite. �You have till nine tonight to finish. If you don�t you will be placed on triple duty.� He warned and turned to leave to her whines of, �You�re so unfair!� and all he could do was look smug. He slid the door closed and exited the building to find Ichigo standing outside in the garden. He turned at the sound of Hitsugaya�s approaching footsteps and grinned down at the white haired boy. �Weren�t you a little hard on her.� He said as Hitsugaya grunted, �Never. It isn�t right to eavesdrop.� He said and Ichigo grinned wider. �It can�t be helped when the window is open.� He said pointing to aforementioned window. �I really have to remind her to keep those closed. That aside, what are you doing hanging around my office?�

�I was ahead of myself when I said I wanted to come with you and the Geta-Boshi and I forgot to put Kon in my body so my family wouldn�t get suspicious if I�m gone for too long.� Ichigo said as he rubbed the back of his head. �I figured you could open a Senkaimon for me.� Hitsugaya resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the teen, �I could.� Was all he said causing Ichigo to smile and ruffle his white hair, �Thanks Toushiro.� He said as Hitsugaya pulled away. �That�s Hitsugaya Taichou! Besides I said I could I didn�t say I would.� He growled.

�I know you will.� Ichigo replied and seized Toushiro�s wrist dragging the boy away from his office. �Hey! Cut that out! I�m a Captain!� Hitsugaya nearly yelled as Ichigo looked over his shoulder. �Then open the gate and I�ll stop dragging you around like a child.� He said smiling as Hitsugaya dug in his heels and pulled his wrist from Ichigo�s grasp, �Fine. I�ll open the gate and send you through.� And he summoned a hell butterfly. �How am I going to get back? I can�t summon one of those.� Ichigo voiced as Toushiro eyed him lazily. The tenth division Taichou stayed quiet for a few minutes before finally voicing his opinion.

�I�ll go with you. It will only take a few hours at most won�t it?� Hitsugaya finally said and Ichigo nodded. �Very well.� Hitsugaya said and the hell butterfly opened the Senkaimon for the two and they walked through to the flesh and blood world.

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

Hitsugaya and Ichigo entered into Ichigo�s world silently. �I wonder if the others are all right?� Ichigo thought aloud as he recognized the interior of Urahara�s home. �You brought us straight to the shop?� he said almost dumbly. �It would make sense since its daylight and if we materialized anywhere else it would cause unnecessary questions.� Was Hitsugaya�s reply. �Makes sense.� Ichigo muttered under his breath and the two began their search for any possible sign that the others were still in the building.

It didn�t take long to find Tessai cooking up lunch for Jinta and Ururu in the kitchen while Ururu was reading and Jinta was practicing with his weapon. Nova, Ririn and Cloud were sitting with Ururu looking as if they were catnapping. Tessai looked up at the sound of the two approaching and nodded, �I�m glad to see you are both okay, is Urahara-san with you?� he asked and Hitsugaya shook his head. Hitsugaya stayed in the kitchen while Ichigo wandered over to Ururu and ruffled her hair softly. The gloomy looking girl nodded and said hi in a small, quiet voice as Ririn opened her eyes and launched herself, with a squeal, at Ichigo. �Hey guys.� Ichigo said and cut to the chase, �Where did you guys put my body?� Ririn stopped hugging Ichigo and glared at him, �Is that all you came back for? Don�t you care about me?� she cried and Ichigo patted her plushie head. �Of course I care Ririn, but this is important. I need to go get Kon and put him in my body. I�ll be spending some time in Soul Society and I need Kon to look after my family.� He said causing Ririn to puff up in anger, �But Kon�s an idiot! He�ll mess it up!� she said.

Ichigo couldn�t help but chuckle at Ririn�s mild hate for the other Mod soul, �He�ll be fine Ririn. He�s watched them for me before. I know he cares for my family on a level that rivals mine and I know he won�t let anything happen to them. I trust Kon, Ririn.� He said and the plushie huffed cutely. �Fine.� She said and Ichigo felt a tug at his hakama. He glanced down to see Nova holding onto his hakama, �Yes Nova.� Ichigo said as he knelt down knowing Nova would speak in a low tone. �It�s in a spare room in the back.� He said and started walking from the room.

Ichigo stood back up and followed the shy Mod from the room and down the hall into the room Hitsugaya had stayed in for his very short visit. He noticed the Taichou�s duffle was still where he had left it. He looked to the futon and saw his body lying upon it; his body was kind of peaceful looking in its soulless state. He shook his head, �That was a scary thought.� Ichigo thought to himself. �Thank you, Nova. I can go get Kon now.� Ichigo said as he picked the Mod up and left the room to head back into the kitchen.

He walked up behind Hitsugaya and set Nova down on top of the boy�s snowy white head. �I�m going to my house to get Kon. I�ll be back in about an hour or so.� The strawberry blonde said as Hitsugaya reached up to figure out what Ichigo had put on his head. He pulled Nova off his head and glanced down at the Mod plushie in his grasp, �Oh, hello Nova.� He said as Nova responded with his own hello. Hitsugaya unconsciously settled the Mod into his arms and against his chest, much like how a child would cradle a beloved toy.

Ichigo smiled at the unconscious childlike gesture and Ichigo walked from the kitchen with a wave of his hand. Hitsugaya was about to seat himself when Ichigo popped his head back into the kitchen, �Oh, and before I forget your bag is still in the spare room.� He said shortly and pulled his head back out of sight. Hitsugaya blinked slowly, �Oh yes. How could I forget.� He said softly while absently scratching the top of Nova�s head. Said Mod was having a hard time keeping a purr of content down, much to his slight embarrassment. It did feel good after all.

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

After using shunpo to get within a five-block radius of his house Ichigo decided to walk the rest of the way. He wasn�t in any hurry since there was no danger to anyone. It was a gorgeous day and there wasn�t a cloud in the sky. The overall temperature was just the way Ichigo liked it and it left him in a very good mood. He enjoyed the fact that he could walk peacefully down the street and not be bothered by passers-by, seeing as how he was intangible to most, if not all, people. There was the odd child that could see him, but rarely did they comment on him being there, since they assumed everyone else would be able to see him if they could. However, there was always the one that would comment of his strange attire and ask mommy or daddy about it leaving their parent or parents looking around dumbly.

He rounded the corner and saw his house come into view. He smiled warmly as he neared the structure that housed him and his family and glanced up at his window. He was happy to note that his window was still cracked open slightly so he could get inside without causing unholy noise. He jumped easily up to the little ledge under his window and slid the glass aside so he could slip noiselessly inside. He set his feet down on his floor and glanced around the room for the familiar yellow plushie that was Kon. He spotted said plushie napping on his pillow.

He walked lightly over to his bed and slid his fingers slowly under the plushie�s body so as not to wake him. A wicked smile crept onto Ichigo�s face as he lifted Kon from his pillow and wrapped his fingers firmly around the living toy. Kon gave a loud squeal, as he was shook relentlessly in Ichigo�s grip. Ichigo tossed the disoriented Mod into the air as the squeals turned to screams of outrage and terror. Ichigo couldn�t help but laugh at the toy�s plight as he caught him deftly in one hand. He righted Kon and waited for the plushie�s head to stop swimming and vision to return. �Good afternoon Kon.� The smug teen said.

Kon spluttered and quickly fell into an angry rant. Ichigo quickly shut him up by thumping him against his hip, �Will you shut up for a second. I�m taking you to Urahara Shoten.� Ichigo said, �You�re the one who shook me! Why should I shut up!� Kon yelled and Ichigo sighed, �Because you should and it seemed like a fun way to wake you up.� Ichigo replied nonchalantly. �And where have you been?� Kon yelled as Ichigo made his way back to the windowsill. �There�s been a small problem.� Ichigo began and Kon quickly quieted down, �You remember that the Bounto activity has been rising and all the events leading up to this point. Well it seems something else as arisen because of it.� Kon noticed the serious edge to Ichigo�s voice and decided to stay quiet for the moment.

�Urahara called in for some assistance and we got Hitsugaya Toushiro. The thing is Kariya seems to have taken a heavy interest in him. We got attacked at the shop and ended up having to run. We ended up taking Toushiro back to Seireitei for safety.� Ichigo said in short not feeling up to telling the complete version of the story. �I�ll be going back to Seireitei for a little while and I want you to take care of my family until I return.� Ichigo said before Kon could open his mouth. �Sure.� Was all that Kon said.

Ichigo smiled slightly as he jumped off one last roof launching his body out over a thickly forested park. He watched the trees flow by below his body, but his elation of weightlessness was interrupted when something heavy impacted with his body. He gave a cry of surprise as he fell towards the grass covered ground below. His body hit heavy with the ground as he felt the weight on his chest press down on him further. After a moment of breathlessness he opened his eyes and what he saw forced a growl from his throat. Sitting astride his stomach was none other than Ichinose Maki, the rogue Shinigami working under Kariya. Upon seeing Ichigo�s eyes open Maki jumped clear of the substitute Shinigami to avoid certain decapitation. Ichigo struggled to his feet and pulled Zangetsu from its place on his back. �What do you want?� Ichigo growled out, as Maki stood straight-backed a few feet away from him. �Nothing much.� Maki responded in short, but he didn�t draw his Zanpakuto much to Ichigo�s curiosity. �I�ll make this quick for you.� Maki said as he lunged at Ichigo.

Ichigo stumbled back in surprise as Maki attacked him without even drawing his Zanpakuto. Maki used Shunpo to get inside Ichigo�s defence and cracked the side of his palm down hard on Ichigo�s wrist causing Ichigo�s hand to go slightly numb. Maki grabbed Ichigo�s Zanpakuto and flung it several yards away where it became lodged firmly in a tree. Maki used his momentum to upend Ichigo onto his back as he fell down on top of the surprised teen. Ichigo began to struggle wildly and Maki quickly paralysed the boy by driving his thumb into the pressure point near the joint of neck and shoulder.

Ichigo gave a short, whimpering cry of pain as his body fell limp and refused to respond to his brain�s urges to escape. Maki could feel Ichigo�s body quiver slightly under his own as he pulled out the vile Kariya had given him. �You can be such a pervert sometimes Kariya.� Maki thought as he popped the cork on the vile and tipped the contents into his mouth. Maki dropped the vile onto the grass beside them and set his fingers around Ichigo�s jaw forcing his mouth open. Maki leaning down and sealed his mouth to Ichigo�s letting the liquid transfer into the teen�s own mouth.

He kept their mouths sealed together as he stroked his fingers over Ichigo�s throat forcing him to swallow the liquid in his mouth. Maki pushed his tongue into Ichigo�s mouth forcing the liquid to move into the back of the boy�s throat aiding in the process of swallow the liquid. Ichigo swallowed against his will when he felt Maki�s tongue touch softly against his own. Maki felt him swallow against his fingers at Ichigo�s throat and he slowly pulled away watching a soft flush take Ichigo�s cheeks. He pushed himself slowly up and off of the dazed teen as he watched Ichigo squirm slightly as the drug entered his bloodstream at an alarming rate.

The teen�s brown eyes glazed over momentarily before returning to normal leaving the boy panting as the drug began taking effect. Maki turned and left as quickly as he had shown up leaving Ichigo dazed on the grass. �That kiss felt�good��. wait! I can�t think that way. Forget that line of thought right now, Maki!� Maki thought suddenly and was surprise with himself at the fact that he had liked the feel of Ichigo against his body. Ichigo was an enemy and something like that was NOT suppose to happen. Maki disappeared quietly.

Ichigo slowly felt the feeling returning to his limbs and he moved them slowly to make sure they would work. He slowly sat up and rubbed his head, �What the fuck was that all about?� he said aloud as the blush on his cheeks darkened a few hues. �What did he give me?� he continued to wonder. �I don�t feel any different. I�m not dead�. yet.� he said as he got shakily to his feet and went in search of Kon who he had dropped on his own descent to the earth. �KON!� he called and strained his ears for the familiar squawking that Kon gave off when he was upset. Ichigo didn�t have to wait long, �Help me you asshole! I�m over here!� Kon screamed from a nearby bush as Ichigo walked in the direction of the insult. He peered into the bush and had to muffle a snort of laughter when he saw Kon�s predicament. Kon�s tail had been snagged on a branch and with his little arms Kon couldn�t reach up and unhook himself.

Ichigo reached in and snatched the indignant Mod from his trap, grabbed his Zanpakuto and continued on his way to Urahara Shoten like he hadn�t just been force-fed a strange drug by the enemy via a kiss. �What happened to you?� Kon demanded, but Ichigo ignored the question, �Just a small scuffle.� Was all he said the blush returning to his face. �Why don�t I believe you?� Kon muttered as Ichigo used shunpo to get quickly to the shop. �Then don�t, because it�s none of you fucking business!� Ichigo yelled defensively. �Whatever you say.�

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

Hitsugaya looked up when he heard the sliding door to the house from the shop slam noisily against its runners and the wall. He watched as Ichigo walked into the kitchen and throw a lion plushie forcefully down onto the table and storm out of the room in a sulk. Hitsugaya bulked as an annoying noise started to come from the plushie and it jumped up yelling at Ichigo�s retreating back. �Another Mod.� The boy thought as Nova crawled from his lap and onto the table to calm the irate plushie down. Hitsugaya felt his right eye twitch in annoyance and quickly stood up slamming his palm down onto the annoying plushie. �Will you shut the hell up! You�re giving me a headache!� the boy growled dangerously.

The plushie turned to him and was about to yelled at him when he took notice of Hitsugaya�s uniform and wisely shut the hell up. Hitsugaya picked Nova back up and was about to leave the room when Ichigo came back in carrying his flesh and blood body in his arms. He set his body in a chair and snatched Kon off of the table. Kon screamed a few more obscenities as Ichigo thrust two fingers into his mouth pulling the pill free a moment later. Hitsugaya felt the pressure behind his eyes lift as the noise ceased.

He watched as Ichigo turned to his body placing the pill in his body�s mouth and moments later it jumped to life as Kon took control. Kon stood up and flexed the muscles of Ichigo�s body. He always enjoyed being in Ichigo�s body for the teen had an amazing physique. It was always a rush to take Ichigo�s body for a run. He was about to whirl on Ichigo and continue his rant, but Hitsugaya beat him to it by planting his knee painfully into Kon�s spine. �Just be quiet, idiot. You annoy me.� Hitsugaya said darkly as Kon growled and turned around to face Hitsugaya. Kon froze in his tracks staring dumbly at the boy. After a moment of the intense stare Kon bent down slightly and stalked around Hitsugaya, �You know you really pretty for a boy.� Kon muttered as he wrapped his arms around Hitsugaya�s shoulder from behind. The little Taichou stiffened at the touch, �I�d screw you if you had tits.� Kon said lewdly grabbing Hitsugaya�s chest firmly causing the boy to squeal slightly in revulsion.

Kon felt the air rush from his lungs as he felt Hitsugaya�s elbow imbed itself into his gut. Kon released Hitsugaya and double over in pain. Hitsugaya jumped away from him as Ichigo blinked at them stupidly before bursting into laughter that caused him to fall to the floor. Tessai entered the kitchen moments later to finally see what all the fuss was about. He immediately turned back around and left the kitchen telling the others to continue eating.

Ichigo was holding his stomach as Hitsugaya stormed from the room, carrying Nova with him. Ichigo finally calmed down enough to talk, �You so deserved that!� he said and fell right back into his fit of laughter. Kon grumbled and rolled over onto his side. After several more moments of near hysterical laughter Ichigo stood up and helped Kon to his feet. �I�m taking Toushiro back to Seireitei now. I want you to watch Karin and Yuzu. I�ll be back in a few days.� Ichigo said as he turned to leave and then threw over his shoulder as an after thought, �The next time you want to grope Hitsugaya Toushiro you should stop and think about the consequences. It�s my body you�re in after all.� Kon just grumbled under his breath.

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

Hitsugaya felt relief when his feet touched back down in Seireitei his duffle hanging from his shoulder with Ichigo behind and to the right of him. He kind of hoped his leaving so suddenly didn�t cause a mass scale of alert to go up, seeing as how he hadn�t told anyone he was leaving. He wasn�t so lucky when a black mass of Shinigami and several of the Fukutaichou suddenly descended him upon. He and Ichigo were surrounded instantly as Kira Izuru walked up to him. The blonde bowed respectfully to Hitsugaya and was joined shortly by Hisagi Shuhei. �I�m sorry Taichou.� Shuhei said and grabbed Hitsugaya around the waist hoisting the boy onto a shoulder. He handed the duffle to Kira who took it quietly.

Kira glared death at Ichigo for being an instigator and motioned him to follow as Hitsugaya yelled at the ninth division Fukutaichou, �How dare you do this! Put me down right now Hisagi!� Hitsugaya cried out, �I�m sorry Hitsugaya Taichou, but it�s a strict order we bring you straight to Yamamoto Sotaichou.� Hisagi said gruffly, �Well I can walk!� Hitsugaya growled as Hisagi adjusted him, �I think this is more fun. I�ve always wanted to try this.� Hisagi said with a smile and a small laugh. Hitsugaya gave up and sagged against Hisagi�s shoulder, however, he gave a sharp glare at Kira causing the blonde to cringe and that made Hitsugaya feel better inwardly.

It didn�t take long till Hitsugaya felt wood floor beneath his feet and he knew where he was. He turned around and saw Yamamoto Sotaichou standing not far from him and he bit back a growl when he also saw Urahara standing beside the old man. �I�ve summoned all the Captains and their vices.� Yamamoto said and Hitsugaya felt a prickle of anxiety run down his spine. �I�m disappointed in you Hitsugaya Taichou. You shouldn�t disappear at a time like this, especially into the flesh and blood world.� Hitsugaya cringed as the old man hit the nail on the head. �I can smell it on you Taichou.� He added softly. �You could have been hurt or worse, captured by the Bounto.� Yamamoto went on, �I�m also disappointed that you didn�t come to me as soon as you got back and reported everything. Whatever interests the Bounto hold on you is it can only be a danger for Soul Society and it�s occupants. I don�t want to put Soul Society into wartime alert if I don�t have to. There is enough scare looming with Aizen and Ichimaru still on the loose.� He would have continued, but a knock at the massive doors to the meeting room could be heard.

�Enter.� Yamamoto called and the doors swung open as the Captains and Vice Captains entered the room settling into their usual positions. Hitsugaya felt his stomach drop when Kira and Shuhei took up a position on either side of him. �You have all been called here in regards to the Bounto situation and a rising suspicion surrounding a sudden interest in our Hitsugaya Taichou. I will make this quick and to the point.� he began and Hitsugaya suddenly felt very trapped, �I want Ukitake Taichou, Kyoraku Taichou, Ise Fukutaichou and Kira Fukutaichou to look into any and all documents containing anything about past involvement of male Shinigami reproduction. This is our only possible lead and we may not have a lot of time. Urahara Kisuke will be assisting you. I want you all to look into any legends or prophecies, anything.� He said addressing specific groups.

�Now then, I want Hisagi Fukutaichou, Abarai Fukutaichou and Kurosaki-san to guard Hitsugaya Taichou and Kira Fukutaichou, when you are not helping with the documents I want you assisting with Hitsugaya Taichou�s security. As for the rest of you I want you to return to your duties and if need be I will require some of you to pick up the slack in other divisions for now.� He said and Hitsugaya�s insides froze over as Yamamoto turned to him, �I regret to inform you, Hitsugaya Taichou, that we will be keeping you in lockdown until further notice. It�s for your own safety since we don�t know what the Bounto a really capable of.� Hitsugaya was shocked and angry that they were treating him as a child.

�They can�t reach me here in Seireitei!� Hitsugaya said angrily, but Yamamoto Sotaichou interrupted any further attempts to defend himself, �It makes no difference whether they can or can�t. We don�t know this for certain so we won�t take any chances with it. I will have you secured and watched at all hours of the day whether you agree to it or not. I will not have you disappear again only to compromise Soul Society.� The old man left no room for argument, �Now escort Hitsugaya Taichou to his room.� He said to Izuru and Shuhei. He turned back to the other Captains and Vice Captains, �You have your orders now carry them out. Report in when you find something relevant.� And with that all occupants departed.

�Thank you Urahara for informing me of this.� Yamamoto said as Urahara turned to leave, �It was the least I could do.� Was all the blonde said as he felt Hitsugaya�s rage directed at him. Hitsugaya stiffened when he felt Izuru and Shuhei take hold of his arms and he felt further insulted. The two Vice Captains began walking Hitsugaya to the doors when Yamamoto stepped forward and placed his hand on Hitsugaya�s right shoulder, �I�m sorry, Toushiro, but this is the only way I could think of handling the situation. We can�t have you out of our sight for even a second, please understand this. The whole of Soul Society may be endangered if they were to get their hands on you. We don�t know what it is they want with you, but it could have a disastrous consequence. We don�t know.� He said softly and felt Hitsugaya sag beneath his hand.

Yamamoto stepped aside allowing Izuru and Shuhei to guide Hitsugaya from the room. Hitsugaya went quietly causing the two Fukutaichou to become slightly concerned that the feisty Taichou lost his will to prove he need not be �babysat�. �You two can let me go I will not run.� Hitsugaya said softly and the two released him slowly, but remained close on either side of him.

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

Hitsugaya found himself in a room with no windows and only one way to leave a short time later. Kira was the first to watch him as they waited for Matsumoto to bring him paperwork. Hitsugaya sat at a small desk with a book in hand as Kira sat stiffly by the door. When they had first arrived Shuhei had demanded that Hitsugaya give him Hyourinmaru and Hitsugaya had slowly handed his Zanpakuto over. Shuhei had left shortly there after saying he would return shortly. Hitsugaya felt his muscles twitch and he looked up to glare at Kira who immediately averted his eyes to elsewhere in the room, �There is no need to be that tense Kira Fukutaichou. I won�t attack you and I won�t try to escape. I may be upset about this situation, but I�m not about to go against a direct order from Yamamoto Sotaichou.� Hitsugaya said in a soft voice.

Kira looked up and smiled slightly allowing Hitsugaya to see how fragile the boy had become since Ichimaru Gin�s defection. The boy had really admired the man no matter how much Ichimaru reminded Hitsugaya of a snake. He couldn�t think of any reason as to why Kira would still be loyal to the traitorous bastard, but it seemed he still was to a certain degree. �Thank you Hitsugaya Taichou. You can call me Izuru.� He said back gently. �Who is taking your place at the end of your watch.....Izuru?� Hitsugaya ask not really caring, but he wanted the blonde to relax a little.

�I believe Kurosaki-san said he was.� The blonde answered after a moment of thought. �I see.� was all Hitsugaya said in return and went back to reading his book when a double knock came at the door. Kira stood up, �Yes.� He said and Shuhei answered a half moment later. Kira unlocked the door with his reiatsu and pushed it open as Shuhei entered the room causing Hitsugaya to look up. Shuhei glance at Kira making a small motion with his head, which Kira answered with a nod of his own. The blonde shut and locked the door again turning to Hitsugaya afterward. Hitsugaya jerked slightly at the apologetic look on his face and watched as the two advanced towards him. Hitsugaya stood quickly in alarm as he felt his stomach drop slightly.

Before he could react Shuhei tossed something to Kira and used shunpo to get behind Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya cried out in anger as his arms were seized and he was held still against Shuhei�s body. �What�s the meaning of this?� Hitsugaya cried out as Kira walked slowly forward like he was trying to calm a frightened wild animal into his waiting arms. �I�m sorry Taichou, but we have further orders to restrain your reiatsu.� Kira said softly. When he was a half a foot away he lunged in and snapped a collar around Hitsugaya�s throat just as the boy was about to flare his reiatsu to protect himself.

Hitsugaya immediately felt his reiatsu forced into near non-existence. He screamed out in frustration at his further humiliation and struggled to get out of Shuhei�s grasp. The Shinigami only held him firmer just in case Hitsugaya were to hurt himself. He felt Hitsugaya shaking in humiliation and poorly repressed rage. �That will lock away and hide your reiatsu until it�s removed. Yamamoto Sotaichou said it�s an added precaution in case things take a turn for the worse. They won�t be able to find you this way.� Kira said in a way of explanation.

Hitsugaya reared up like a snake about to strike and Kira fell back quickly on reflex, �I know what this thing does! How dare you talk down to me like you would a child! This was unneeded and he knew that! I�m just a prisoner now!� he screamed as Shuhei released him and they backed away to the door. Hitsugaya growled sharply and turned away from them picking his book up he walked to the bed and disappeared behind the curtains surrounding it. Shuhei looked over at Kira who seemed to be struggling with the notion of having a stroke or not. �I�ll take my leave. Matsumoto will be by in a while with food and paperwork for him to do. I suggest leaving him alone for now. Never walk into the dragon�s den knowing nothing but rage and death await you.� Shuhei said quietly as Kira unlocked the door with his reiatsu to let Shuhei out. �Just leave him be.�

Kira swallow thickly as he relocked the door and sat down heavily in his chair, �He scares me just as much as Ichimaru Taichou does when he�s angry.� The young blonde thought. This was going to be a long shift and he didn�t like the fact that he was locked in a room with and angry Hitsugaya Toushiro. Oh was it ever going to be a long one. �God help me!�

A.N.: Sorry for the wait Kiddos! I�ve been busy with work (fires and floods take a long time to clean up after�. sigh). I hope this chappy goes off well. You�ll be happy to know the first sex scene will be coming up in the next chappie. Poor little Toushiro he just can�t seem to win (yet). More, if not all, will be reveal about what Kariya was talking about.
