Christmas Nightmare (Bleach Fanfic)

Hollowfied Santa

Toshiro and Gin were both counting the number of people that they had, as they approached the castle, and they found it to be and overly large group. There was the two of them, the thirteen fukutaicho, and three people who lived supposedly in the living world. That made it for a total of eighteen people that were approaching the castle.

Toshiro felt his eyebrow twitch. "Seriously… what is the lack of stealth here?"

"What!" Abarai suddenly yelled, as did the fukutaicho of the second division, and the one of the seventh.

"I think that castle is based off of one of Mayuri Taicho's possible redesigns for the lab," Nemu suddenly blurted out.

This caused the small boy, to let out a sigh. This of course meant that his mind, had in fact, gone and provided traps for him and this group to get around. He just wanted to get through this place, and to simply wake up from this ongoing nightmare. It was a complete pain in the neck, and he wondered if he was going insane.

Wasn't Santa's castle, supposed to be more cheerful, more colorful. He suddenly jumped, as Karin suddenly grabbed onto his arm. "I'm scared."

"My ass you're scared!" the boy snapped. "Please… you kicked a soccer ball at my head, of all things, even though you could have possibly have sensed my spiritual rietsu before you did it!"

He didn't notice that Gin was in fact watching the two of them carefully, trying to access the situation between the two. That wasn't until he picked a rather irritated, and frustrated aura coming off of the man. As he glanced at the man, he suddenly jumped as Karin whispered into his ear. "If I act scared, you'll let me be near you!"

Gin let out a sigh, grabbed the small Christmas Devil, and handed her off to Matsumoto. "Can you explain this?"

"Taicho was stalking her in the living world!" the woman blurted out, a smile on her face, which quickly turned to a frown. "Though that … is none of your business."

"I was not stalking her in the living world Matsumoto!" Toshiro protested, then stormed off, with the group into the castle. Everything was rather dark, and the sound of their footsteps fell hollow. He folded his arms, and glanced at Isshin. "What next?"

"What next? Well, we go rescue…" However, his old taicho was quickly interrupted by the fact that a rumbling sound suddenly came. What little light there was, showed that the stones were crumbling, and heading towards them. And just as quick as that happened, all of them were falling, into complete darkness, somehow being separated from each other.

"Baka! You can use shunpoo! You can…" Toshiro stated, as he hit the ground, hard. He glanced around his surroundings, which were a complete pitch black, but then they began to light up. There was nothing above him hole wise, just a ceiling, so he didn't know where he had come from. He also heard some yelling.

Walking forward, he found himself puzzled at this kind of yelling, and continued forward. "Those are the voices of Kuchiki-san and Kurosaki… they weren't with the group…"

"We hear that Toshiro went missing from his prison cell. It is all ready the twenty forth," came Rukia's voce. This caused Toshiro to stop in his tracks, and start backing the other way, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"What did I do wrong?" The small boy stated. He stuck to the rules almost strictly, and had no problem beside the event with Kusaka. He had to get away from there.

"The situation is taken care of," came another voice… this one was belonging to Urahara. "Taken… care… of…"

Then came Ichigo's voice. "…found a message from Ran thinking Toshiro killed him."
