Hey everyone this is my first fanfiction, so please I hope you like it, I will update with new chapters if you guys actually take the time to ready my story. This is only the first chapter. ~Icedragonshiki

It has been a few months since the winter war ended. The weather was finally starting to get warmer in the world of the living. The chaos caused by Aizen had finally ended. Soul Society was back on track on how it used to be. The Gotei 13 still had three vacant taicho seats. Kira and Hisagi were doing rather well running their squads. Hinamori had finally regained consciousness, and was back at the office. She was still hurting inside but she had made a promise to herself to redeem her honor and pride as a fukutaicho of the Gotei 13. Hinamori was back in her office taking care of her paperwork that she was unable to do for almost a year. Things were looking brighter for Seretei, and the Gotei 13 shinigamis were all working very hard.

Meanwhile at the 10th squad barracks, Hitsugaya Taicho was working very hard on his paperwork, but the young taicho was very frustrated as his fukutaicho, Matsumoto had passed out on his couch leaving empty sake bottles all over his office. Hitsugaya had to take a break from his huge stacks of paperwork in order to clean up his, now reeking in sake office and wake up his drunken, ever work neglecting fukutaicho.

"MASTUMOTO!" Hitsugaya yelled in anger. Matsumoto still didn't wake. Hitsugaya sighed.

'Not again', he thought to himself.

'Well I have been working on all this paperwork work all day, guess I'll take a walk and come back and check on that lazy, drunk fukutaicho of mine later' Hitsugaya though to himself.

Hitsugaya left the 10th squad barracks. He was just walking around Seretei aimlessly, absorbed in his thoughts when a hell butterfly appeared. It was a message from the Soutaicho.

" Taichos' meeting at the 1st squad barracks. All taichos report to 1st squad barracks in 10 minutes".

'Huh what could that be about, man guess I better hurry' Hitsugaya though as he quickly shunpoed to the 1st squad barracks.

Hitsugaya quickly took his place next to the other captains and waited for the Soutaicho to start the meeting. Only nine captains were present. Ukitake taicho was not present for the meeting. He was always sick in bed, the other captains felt sorry for him but they were used to his repeated absences from captains meetings.

Squad 10 taicho Hitsugaya Toshiro was assigned to the world of the living to help shinigami representative Kurosaki Ichigo defeat the repeated occurrences of Gillians and Adjuchas in Karukura town. He was chosen for this mission, since he had been to the world of the living before, and a captain was needed to finish the job quickly and efficiently.

"What a bother, can't that Kurosaki handle it by himself. He always acts like a big shot, but I guess he's not that strong if he cant handle a couple of Gillians and Adjuchas", Hitsugaya thought to himself as he was running through the Precipate World.

When he arrived, he could feel Kurosaki's reiatsu, and some other eerie ones. Hitsugaya realized that there were a couple of Adjuchas and a few Gillians. Kurosaki could handle it himself, but for some reason Hitsugaya sensed that Kurosaki's reiatsu was gradually declining, and also the hollows reiatsu wasn't disappearing. Hitsugaya shunpoed from rooftop to rooftop, wondering what was going on.

'What a bother, that Kurosaki sure has gotten weak since defeating Aizen' Hitsugaya said to himself, until he saw Ichigo. He could not believe his eyes what was going on. Ichigo was fighting three Vasto Lordes, two Adjuchas and four Gillians at once. How did Hitsugaya not sense these Vasto Lordes? This didn't make sense at all. He couldn't sense anything from the Vasto Lordes. Soul Society probably overlooked them as well. Hitsugaya was usually an expert at sensing reiatsu, but something was really weird about these Vasto Lordes. But without thinking too much about it Hitsugaya unsheathed his zanpakuto and charged.

"Reign of the frosted Heavens, Hyorinmaru" Hitsugaya yelled as he released his shikai and started battling the hollows. With his help Ichigo defeated to Gillians and Adjuchas. Now only the Vasto Lordes remained. This was going to get difficult.

"What are you doing here Toshiro, anyway I can handle these guys", Ichigo stated bluntly.

"What are you talking about, Kurosaki, if I hadn't shown up just now you wouldn't have even been able to get rid of the Gillians." Hitsugaya replied angrily while blocking one of the Vasto Lordes' attacks. But a moment later, the Vasto Lorde went for a full attack and cut straight across Hitsugaya's chest. He was bleeding furiously. Hitsugaya had his limiter placed on.

'These guys are strong, damn it' Hitsugaya thought to himself. 'I can't ask for the limiter to be released, it's only a Vasto Lorde, its not like they are Arrancars'

Ichigo also had a huge cut across his torso. Both of then were in a dire state. Ichigo had already released his bankai. He had just defeated one of the Vasto Lorde, and the third one was now attacking him. Hitsugaya knew he had to end this quickly.

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru!" Hitsugaya yelled. Then huge ice wings sprouted from Hitsugaya's back and he was in his bankai.

"Getsuga Tensho!" yelled Ichigo in his hollowfied state. Finally two of the Vasto Lordes were defeated. Hitsugaya was battling the last one now.

"Sennen Hyoro; Thousand Years Ice Prison", yelled Hitsugaya as the ice pillars divulged the last Vasto Lorde. Finally all the hollows were defeated. Hitsugaya and Ichigo put away their zanpakuto. The two of them were still badly injured. They shunpoed over to the Kurosaki Clinic. Right as they reached the doorsteps Hitsugaya lost consciousness.

A while later…Hitsugaya's POV

"His reiatsu is weakening so dramatically, this is bad", said a girl.

"Man Toshiro you are weak, collapsing like that after a couple of hollows, and to think you are a taicho" Ichigo said obnoxiously.

Everything is dark. What happened? Ohh yeah, I was fighting those menos with Kurosaki Ichigo. I opened my eyes.

"Hey guys, he's awake", said a black haired girl, she was looking at me from above. I was laying down, on something soft. I sat up and tried to focus my eyes. Three very weird people were looking at me. One was a girl with short blonde hair, with a worried but happy expression on her face. The other war, no doubt about it was Kurosaki Ichigo. I could recognize his stupid face 10 kilometers away. But the other girl closest to me was someone I knew; she had short black hair, and her carefree expression. This was Kurosaki Karin, probably the only normal one in their family. I had helped her soccer team a few months ago; we had also visited Haru obach-chan back in December and helped Yosuke go to soul society.

Then I realized, my wounds were patched up, but my reiatsu was really low. I felt really drained. My insides were burning, Ahh, arghh. I tried to move but no good. I tried again and finally got myself up from the bed.

"Toshiro"

"Toshiro"

"Toshiro'

My insides were burning, everything went black…
