Toshiro Hitsugaya: A new Horizon

Chapter 1: Child of Winter

Yoruichi sighed as she continued her little walk of the Rukongai's forest. Winter had finally come and the gently snow felt good as she walked around the forest, her feet making tracks as she walked to no certain destination in mind. She took in the beautiful surroundings and came to sudden halt, hearing something that shouldn't be in the forest.

A baby's cry.

She ran toward the sound, quickly coming to a clearing where the snow was collecting around a small bundle of blanket which was moving. She quickly went toward it and found a beautiful snow white hair baby that looked at least a year old with turquoise eyes that looked curiously at her before giving a small cute smile and reached out to her. Yoruichi smiled as well and saw that a small piece of paper was sticking out of the blanket, which she took out of it, had only one word on it.

Toshiro.

"Toshiro huh." Yoruichi said to herself as looked at Toshiro again who was trying to grab her hair. She gave a smile and right then and there she made a decision, one that would change entire future of the Sereitei.

Shihoin Manor

"You want to what?" A clan elder yelled at Yoruichi who was holding a sleeping Toshiro and held a finger to her lips. "Quiet will you, he's sleeping." The clan elder then continued at a quiet tone. "You want to adopt a child from the Rukongai and taint the puriness of the Shihoin line? Your barely an adult and yet you want to adopt a son?"

Yoruichi nodded her head. "That's right and if I remember right, I'm free to make my own choices as I see fit and right now I want to adopt Toshiro. The only reason why I'm telling you is because I want to acknowledge Toshiro as an official clan member and my heir to the clan." Several elders gasped in surprise.

Another one of them stood up, fury plain as day on his face and yelled at her. "Shihoin-sama you can't honestly be serious! We don't even know if he has any Reiatsu-" He was cut off by a loud crying and a burst of Reiatsu that was enough to make all the elders to crumble to the ground and Yoruichi to flinch. She gently bounced Toshiro up and down to calm him down which worked as he quickly went back to sleep.

She gave a glare at the elder who yelled and spoke in a quiet tone. "I believe that answers your question and is a good example on why you should be quiet."

The same elder continued, this time in a quiet tone. "Still the fact remains that he is from the Rukongai and will taint the pureblood line of the Shihoin clan." Yoruichi simply looked at him and said.

"So I still can make my own choices and I choose to adopt Toshiro into the clan. In fact, I can do that without your permission since as Clan Head I can do as I please."

Another one, this one female, looked at her with a glare that Yoruichi gladly returned. "May I remind you Shihoin-sama that we are here to tell you whats best for the clan and adopting that child isn't best for it."

"You don't know that, for all we could know Toshiro could become Captain faster than anyone in history. The fact remains that I will adopted him and you all don't have a say in it, end of story. Now if you'll excuse me I have to put Toshiro to bed." The purple haired woman walked out of the meeting room and straight into her son's new room which was mostly empty, excluding a crib, a table that had a bag full of baby supplies on it, and some toys for Toshiro to play with.

Yoruichi gently put her new son in the crib, put a blue blanket over him, and looked at him for a few seconds in silence. 'I still can't believe you have enough Reiatsu to make me flinch. I could only think about how much you'll have when your older.' Unfortunately the silence was broken when the door was suddenly kicked opened, the noise waking Toshiro up and Yoruichi quickly spun around, delivering a round house to the person who entered.

"Whoa! Yoruichi calm down!" She then noticed her long time friend Kuukaku was standing in front of her, hands up to show she was unarmed with Kisuke and Tessai behind her. "Hang on who'd I punched?"

They all looked at Isshin who now sporting a bruised cheek and stuck in the wall. "Wow flying strawberries." Kisuke and Tessai sighed in unison and said they'll get him out while Kuukaku walked over to Yoruichi who held Toshiro in her arms, trying to calm him down.

"There there, no need to cry." Yoruichi said patiently while Kuukaku took a bottle that was filled with cold milk and used a Kido to heat it up to the right temperature. When it was done, she gave it toward Toshiro who took it and began to drink from it, laying back in Yoruichi's arms while looking at his new room.

Kuukaku combed his snow white hair. "So the rumors of you adopting a heir is true huh Yoruichi." She was also thinking on how soft Toshiro's hair was.

Yoruichi shrugged. "I don't see why I couldn't, beside who could leave an adorable little guy like Toshiro in the forest all alone." She poked him in the stomach, making him smile and try to grab her finger with one hand." At this point, Kisuke and Tessai managed to get Isshin out of the wall and went over to Yoruichi to look at Toshiro who looked at them all with curious eyes.

"I have to admit, his eyes look amazing." Kisuke said as he waved to Toshiro who in response grabbed his blond hair and pulled on it. "And he has a strong grip." He flinch from the slight pain as Toshiro kept pulling his hair.

Isshin looked at the now empty bottle Toshiro had which he held out toward Yoruichi, showing that he wanted more milk. "He also got an appetite that could match your's in a few years." Yoruichi laughed as she took the empty in one hand, holding Toshiro in her other arm, and gave it to Kuukaku who went back to the table to get more milk.

Toshiro let go of Kisuke's hair and looked at everyone with large curious eyes, taking in every detail, and decided to try and take Tessai's glasses who moved back in reponse, not wanting his new glasses to get taken. The white hair boy didn't like this and reached out further to grab his glasses, making Yoruichi tighten her grip on him.

"Whoa Toshiro! Tessai just give him your glasses." Kisuke just took it without waiting for an answer and gave it to Toshiro who began to chew on it. He tossed it aside when Kuukaku came back with more milk. As he drank, his eyes felt began to close and he let out a small cute yawn, making the women in the room aww'd at his cuteness.

Yoruichi smiled at him. 'I have a feeling the next few years are going to be fun.'

And that's it for now, I'll see you when I see you and please leave a comment!

This is a story I adopted off of fanfiction net. It was a great story but sadly like many stories, it was discontinued this one since 2013, so a very long time ago. Seeing how much I love Toshiro as an anime character I felt I should continue the story.
