After the Winter War, things don't go so well for Toshiro.
Momo has completely broken her friendship with Toshiro.
Rangiku is not herself and won't speak to Toshiro.
Toshiro is stressing and working himself to death and won't talk to anyone.
Tos...
I can't go to Ukitake, he's been getting worse each and every day.
I won't go to Unohana, she's busy with healing the injured from the winter war.
I won't even dare go to Kyoraku, he'll try to get me drunk.
I don't want to go to Kurosaki, he's losing his powers.
I don't want to go to the captain, he's busy with his family.
I don't want to go to Karin, she's too young to know about war.
I won't go to Urahara or Shihion, they're probably busy in the human world.
I won't go home, I'll just be in the way.
I don't know where to go.
These were the thoughts that Toshiro was thinking about as he sits, curled up, against his door in his quarters. Sobs coming out of his mouth like no tomorrow. Tears, that hasn't been unleashed for years, are falling down like it'll be the last time they'll drop. Toshiro's mind is cracking every second of every day. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know where to go. All he wants is to talk to someone but no one will talk to him.
"Master, you can talk to me." said Hyorinmaru.
"I know but I...." he cries. Hyorinmaru sends some Reiatsu into Toshiro's body to calm him. Toshiro mentally thanks him. Toshiro slowly gets up and heads to the bathroom. He looks into the mirror and cringe at his reflection. His natural spiky white hair was a mess. His bright filled-with-life serious teal eyes was dull broken sad dark teal. Tear marks was on his cheeks. The bags under his eyes got darker.
He runs a hand through his messy hair and took a shaky breath.
"I wonder what mum and dad will say if they saw me like this?" Toshiro found himself asking.
"They'll probably help you and forget about their own problems. Master, your parents would take on the world to keep you safe." said Hyorinmaru. That brought a tiny smile on Toshiro's face.
"I know." he said. He striped himself of his clothes and let them drop to the ground. He looks at his shoulder and saw the scar that made him even more depressed. He sighed and turns on the shower and gets in.
{At the Soul King Realm.}
Satoru coughed into his hand, blood was covering it. He looks outside and sighed.
"Toshiro..." he whispered. It was snowing in the Soul King Realm and the snow reminded the King of his son. The guard, a close friend to the late Queen, walks in and Satoru looks at them. The guard was a female. She has black short hair. Her emerald slit eyes, resembles a cat. She was wearing a white full body guards uniform with her blade on her hip.

She knelt down to the ground. She whispered something.
"Yes I did. Ruala, I want you to go to the Soul Society to pick up my son, it's about time he comes home." said Satoru. Ruala whispered something before completely disappearing from the Realm all together.
"I know you won't fail me, Ruala." smiled Satoru, looking back outside.
{Back with Toshiro}.
Toshiro just got out of the shower and put on a white sleeping Kimono. He got into bed and was about to fall asleep but was interrupted by a knock at his window. Toshiro opened his tired eyes and gets up off the bed to the window. He was surprised to see someone he hasn't seen in years.
He opens the window and allows the person in.
"What seems to be the matter, Ruala, Sophia?" asked Toshiro to the Royal Guard and her black cat partner.
"Well~ The Soul King wants you back home, especially after what this war has brought to you and by looking at your form, it's taken a troll on you. Hasn't it?" Sophia said, seriously. Toshiro yawns and nods.
"Alright. Tell my father that I'll be home tomorrow. I, at least, want sleep and I don't have the energy to get dressed." he said, sitting down on his bed. Ruala nods.
"Sophia will stay with you, I'll be heading back to inform your father." Ruala said, quietly. Toshiro nods. Ruala goes to the window and climbs out before disappearing. Toshiro sighed and gets into bed, instantly falling asleep. Sophia frowned and took a deep look into Toshiro's form.
"He's not been keeping an eye on his health. That war was something he was not prepared for." thought Sophia before laying on Toshiro's stomach and falling asleep herself.
