Christmas Nightmare (Bleach Fanfic)

Onii-Chan

A small figure huddled in the corner of the room, shivering due to the cold as he clutched his right hand. A small figure came into the room, smiling at him. "Holly says that the sun is rising, so we should leave now. She gave me instructions on what we're supposed to do. She wants you to make it snow as soon as we get to the place."

"Is aneki coming too?" The boy wrapped both arms around his shoulders as he continued to shiver.

At that, the small female paused, then moved her face closer to his face, their noses almost touching. "How come she gets that kind of name. What about me? Does Ivy get a nickname too?"

At that, the boy paused, his glazed eyes suddenly looking at the small girl. "Your name is Ivy... wouldn't that be something like Amazura in Japanese?"

At that, the girl pouted. "That's not a nickname. That is a name. If Holly is your aneki, then doesn't that make me your imoto?"

"Hai..." Toshiro's face twisted up in confusion, then shock as the small child suddenly lunged at him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she let out a happy giggle. For a few seconds, a light returned to his eyes, and then the registry of shock upon his face was gone.

It was then that Holly came into the room, her eyes suddenly narrowing at the site of the two of them. "What the hell is wrong with you two pervy kids?"

At that, the female walked over, and made to kick at Ivy, only to have Toshiro suddenly grab the young Arrancar and move his body between her. While his eyes were still dull, he glared at the woman, which caused her to let out a deep breath of frustration. "So... you are willing to protect someone younger and weaker from you from bullies? I'll have to keep that in mind. Both of you, get out there and do what you need to."

A few hours later, Ivy held onto Toshiro's hand as they walked down the sidewalk towards the destination, unnoticed by the living people around them. Eventually they came to a drug store, a different one then the one he and Gin had gone to earlier that week. Ivy would ever so often point out a Christmas decoration to him, a smile plastered on her face.

Finally, they came to the store, which wasn't yet opened. At that point, Toshiro turned towards the door, a blank expression on his face. The small shinigami drew his zampaktuo, and the snow began to fall down. He then spoke out the dragon's name, and suddenly the ice Dragon went smashing through the front, setting off an alarm.

At that, point Ivy simply stepped in as if nothing happened. "I want to get some candy. I've never had candy before, but I saw some other little kids talking about it. Do you want some candy?"

However, Hitsugaya didn't answer her, but went over to where the allergy pills were, not to mention the creme to place on the rash. His foot tapped some of the rubble out of the way and scooped up a few boxes, his breath ragged. Ivy, not liking to be ignored hurried over to where the bags were kept and brought one over to him.

"Please! Can I have some candy!" The girl stated, a pouting look on her face.

"Holly said we had to wait until the soul reapers get here before we leave. Do whatever you want to occupy yourself." However, there was a sudden pause and a flicker on his face. "Just be sure you don't hurt yourself. There is a lot of rubble around here."

The small female simply smiled and went around picking up items to put in her own bag. She bounced around the debris, looking at various things. Toshiro though went and leaned up against the shelving unit, letting is reiatsu flare out so that someone would feel the pressure and come running. Who ever was closest would receive the blunt of his attacks.

There came a suddenly sound as two shinigami landed outside of the drug store, glancing around as the small shinigami simply continued to lean up against the shelving unit, while Ivy continued to put things into her bad. The two were Hisagi and Kira fukutaicho, and both found their eyes going wide as they looked in at the mess.
