Negirau Atashinchi (Bleach Fanfic)

Changed

The rather tall shinigami left the room, finding out that Yamada Seinosuke was in fact alive. Truth of the matter was, her feelings were mixed about finding this out. One of the feelings pertained to joy, while another pertained to anger, while yet another pertained to sadness. She in truth didn't know what to say to him if she did in fact find him.

She came to her first thought of the matter, that played into her disbelief. "The Seinosuke I know wouldn't hurt a child. He happens to have hurt Hitsugaya Taicho." That was the thought that came to her mind as she headed towards the highest spot in the entire town, one that would let her have a vantage point.

"You're only saying that because of the way that you saw him treat Hanataro as a babe and toddler," her zampaktuo argued. It was adamant in trying to push reality on her. Actually, truth of the matter was, it had always been that way, forcing her to remember things that she in fact didn't want to remember. No, remembering it wasn't the issue, thinking about it was.

"Well... Hitsugaya Taicho isn't a child," her mind fell upon, trying to prove that the young man she had known since childhood hadn't gone and changed. Her mind quickly went through all the times she remembered a certain taicho protesting that things were too childish, or the times he glared at someone because they referred to his size, or the fact that he was a child.

"You know better then that," her zampaktuo chided.

At this, the female shinigami let out a sigh. "I know... he's a little one, despite the fact that he protests it." She could never deny that Hanataro was still a child, almost gone from that stage. But the small taicho was definitely younger then him, which had always made the younger Yamada child to look after him, even considering the white haired child a friend, despite the fact it didn't seem Hitsugaya returned the favor.

She then began to glance around, looking for someone, somewhere that was close to one of those child hood spots. But nothing came to mind, though she figured this would have been easy if she had been in Soul Society still. It bothered her, as she knelt on the sill edge that something she looked fondly on would be tarnished.

"Well... if it isn't Kotetsu Isane," a voice from behind her came. This caused her to try to stand up, but she then felt a unsheathed zampaktuo pressing at her throat. She then felt the blade push her head backwards into someones chest. This caused her to glance up to see a familiar face, smirking at her. "It is good to see you again."

"You are alive!" the female spoke aloud, her voice tone obviously pained as the truth washed over her.

"Shush..." came his voice, calm and collected. He and Hanataro were alike in every regard except one, confidence. "I am glad to see you, just as much as you are to see me. You need not say it."

"I..." Isane tried to think of a way to get away, something to protest with. However, to her utter surprise, he choose to lock lips with her, kissing her and not stopping. The shock caused her cheeks to suddenly flush, her heart to beat fast, and her body to freeze. However, something told her it was wrong, and her hands pushed him away. "Stop!"

At that point, she was away from him, ready to draw her weapon. He gave her a funny look, like he was disappointed. "Aren't you my fiance?"

"You disappeared... I have the right to move on, don't I?" the female stated, coming to her full height.

"I don't think you would be able to. You were rather miffed when grandmother told you, you were still growing," the young male stated, giving her a dark look, one she had almost never seen on his face. Her stomach hurt seeing it.

"Don't bring my height into this! And what does that have to do with anything!" the female snapped out.

He raised a hand to the side of his head, basically shrugging it off. "As I recollect, the reason you were angry was because you found out that you and I were the same height as each other. You hated the idea of being taller then me. You started eating porridge non-stop."

"Stop it!" The silver haired female snapped out, irritated that he would bring such a thing up.

"Well, what I said was true, wasn't it," the man stated, suddenly shunpooing to her side. His face remained taciturn. "And it seems you now have a half a foot on me." At that, Isane tried turning on him, trying to pull her weapon. However, he quickly moved out of the way. " I thought that the academy taught soul reapers not to lose their cool. It's just like the taicho of the tenth division."

"What about it!" Isane stated. "You do realize that you hurt a child, don't you!"

"A child?" The man gave her a cold look. "While he was wearing the captain's haori and while it was within the vicinity, he was not a child. He is now."

"What kind of talk is that!" Isane spit out, watching him suddenly smirk.

"I''ll tell you what kind of talk that is. I'm going to use the boy, simple as that. And no matter what you say, I did in fact hurt a child. He needed to be taught a lesson, and likely... he'll need to be taught one again." The man folded his arms together loosely, still holding his zampaktuo. "He has a temper on him, doesn't he?"

"Use him! You know all I have to do is tell Unohana Taicho about this!" The fukutaicho of the forth division suddenly had her reiatsu flare up. "You'll have to kill me, if you don't want me to tell."

"I don't care if you tell," the man stated, catching her off guard. "See, all she can do is keep him from moving about. She isn't going to be able to stop his will. You can tell her that too. She knows how stubborn he is, how much he likes to go looking for trouble."

"You don't know anything about Hitsugaya Taicho," Isane yelled.

"Oh, I think I do," the man stated, letting out a laugh.

"Would you have attacked him if you knew Hanataro thinks of him as a friend?" The female was adamant.

"A friend? Does he treat him the same way? Do they hang out with each other?" The man watched her face falter. "See... they aren't friends."

However, her face returned to a stern stubbornness. "Yes, they are friends. Hitsugaya Taicho may not hang out with anyone, but he treats Hanataro with respect and like an equal."

"That isn't being a friend," the man eyed her coldly.

"That is the only way Hitsugaya Taicho knows to show friendship. Through respect, and treating someone like an equal," Isane repeated. "He;s slowly learning, and Hanataro knows that and is patient with him."

The elder Yamada glowered at her. However, he then spoke up. "I thought about taking you out on a date when I saw you. I was thinking I would treat you to fish cakes."

At that, Isane clapped her hands to her mouth, trying not to vomit as the word came to her ears. At that, he suddenly took off, leaving her behind. She tried feeling for his reiatsu after she regained her composure, but he was purposefully trying to hide it. At that, she headed back to the shop, frowning as she came into Unohana's view.

The woman's face twisted up, however, she choose to to say anything. Isane simply followed her into where the small taicho was still unconscious on the futon. "I managed to contact Yamamoto. He is trying to make heads or tails of this whole situation."

"Did Isane find out anything?" Rangiku asked, her eyes showing that the whole ordeal was stressing her out, her bubbly self having melted away.

"I..." At that, the female's face turned red.

Unohana glanced at her, but simply choose not to say anything directly to her. "I think she has run into him."

"I don't understand... I didn't feel a fight?" Hinamori's head popped up, her hand holding onto Toshiro's rather tightly.

"I... uhh..." Isane closed her eyes. "He teased me... he knows I hate... that... and that... and that..." Her eyes glanced at the ground, shame completely covering it.

"On other news, Yamamoto taicho decided to send a few extra to the living world. I am also to be staying here with Isane," the woman stated.

"Aren't you needed back in Soul Society?" Rukia asked.

"I am sure I can leave my division members in their own capable hands," the woman smiled. However, her eyes showed that she wasn't at all happy with the situation and it faded to a frown.
