[A. Bankai Training a.k.a Introduction of Adult Hitsugaya]

[It’s not an unfamiliar sight to see someone training, especially anyone who bothers coming to the forest near Kuraokami’s temple. What is an unfamiliar sight, however, would be what would appear to be an older version of Hitsugaya.

He’s in the sky, training with his sword. Bits of ice and snow appear with his movements, causing him to frown a bit as he reins in his reiatsu enough to ensure he doesn’t end up freezing the moisture in the air. Swinging his sword to the side, an ice dragon flows out from the tip and circles overhead before it disperses in the air.

He watches it disappear, sighing and rubbing the back of his neck before he decides to land.]

[B. Investigations]

i. Yamada Department Store
[After hearing about the department fire, Toushirou doesn’t really waste too much time checking it out.

The remains of the building stood out to him as he approaches it. There’s some faint look of wonder on his face, wondering just how bad the fire could have gotten this bad. It makes him frown, peering up at it before he slips inside the burnt department store.

People are free to join or prevent him from doing so.]

ii. Lava

[He would have initially missed the lava - the hot weather was already beginning to take a toll on him - but it was the smell of sulfur that managed to catch his attention.

So, Toushirou is looking in the direction of where he could practically feel the sudden increase in the temperature, expression somewhat annoyed. He breathes out, a hand coming up to cover his face.]

Now there’s lava?

[C. Headache-Induced]

[Now here’s an odd sight.

Anyone who knows Toushirou would be surprised to see him either sleeping under a shaded tree or leaning against it, eyebrows scrunched up together as if in pain. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong, but at the same time, he pinches the bridge of his nose as if warding off a headache.

A teal eye soon glances over when someone approaches, but then soon closes.]

What? [His tone is wary, a bit on edge.]

[D. Wildcard]

[Make one up your own or hit me up at seabutterfly]

Comments

[sonofson]

Did a friend of yours get hurt? Or your new shinki?

[Goten stretches his legs out in front of him, glancing back up to Hitsugaya]

[freezetheheavens]

Not exactly. She's just been unconscious for a week.

[And he's been restoring her energy at weird intervals to keep that damn artifact inside of her.]

[sonofson]

That sounds really bad!

[Beteween the girl being unconscious for a week and Hitsu being tired....yeah; none of that can be good]

[freezetheheavens]

She's fine. It just seems that she's exhausted.

[And completely not telling Goten about the possibility of something being inside of Botan.

Honestly, he's surprised Goten hasn't been able to sense her energy leaking out.]

[sonofson]

[Keeping secrets is rude, Toushirou.]

Have you been training with her or something? People don't just get exhausted and sleep for that long.

[freezetheheavens]

I train with her differently than I do with you.

[Nothing physical, anyway. It's all about the senses.]

But people can get exhausted enough where they do sleep for a week. Whatever it is, it has to do with whatever's going on with her personally.

[sonofson]

Ohh...

[That really doesn't clear up anything. Is it boring training like Izumo said Shizuo and Sharak do?]

Are you sure she's not sick?

[freezetheheavens]

She's fine, Goten.

[His tone sounds a bit more exasperated, but it's not directed at the shinki.]

[sonofson]

[Goten frowns a little, just staring up at Hitsugaya worriedly. What can he do to help....]

[freezetheheavens]

....You don't need to look at me like that.

[sonofson]

[Too bad it's not changing]

Huh? Look at you like what? I'm just looking at you.

[Goten frowns more at him]

Are you hungry or anything? I could bring you something to eat.

[freezetheheavens]

You look at me like I'm just going to fall unconscious.

[Especially as if he's going to break again.

He sighs a bit.]

Would it comfort you better if I did eat?

[sonofson]

I donno, you might? I've never seen you tired or anything. It's hard to believe someone as strong as you gets tired at all.

[No, he's not worried about him breaking again.....well maybe a tiny bit because that really did scare him but Goten isn't about to admit it out loud. It was just a move that Hitsu could do!]

Would it make you feel better?

[Answering a question with a question]

[freezetheheavens]

Everyone gets tired once in a while.

[Even he's not an exception to that.

He sighs softly.]

I won't stop you if you want to get some.

[sonofson]

[Goten perks up]

Okay! Hitsu, what do you like to eat? Whats your favorite food?

[freezetheheavens]

I'm not picky, Goten.

[He's sure they went over this before.]

You can bring whatever you like.

[sonofson]

[And he's back to frowning, staring up at Hitsugaya stubbornly]

What do you like?

[They've been over this countless times probably. Goten doesn't keep count but these passive answers aren't going to fly]

[freezetheheavens]

[The corner of his lips twitches a bit in amusement.]

Watermelon, mostly. But anything with rice is fine, too.

[Goten, he's not picky.]

[1/2]

[sonofson]

[Goten stares up at him intently as if searching for more clues in his expression or to be sure he isn't just saying that to make Goten happy]

....

[sonofson]

[And just like that, he leans back with a smile before he pushes himself up to stand. Patting the dirt off his gi, he glances back to Hitsugaya thoughtfully.]

I'll be back so you better not go anywhere-- expect inside, okay?

[Of course he can feel the god's presences so long as he isn't hiding it so it doesn't matter too much. Hitsu needs rest though!]

[freezetheheavens]

I'll be right here.

[Or maybe back inside.

Goten can find him as long as he releases enough of his reiatsu to be sensed.]

[sonofson]

[Goten nods]

You better! Imma be mad if you disappear on me, Hitsu.

[And just like that he takes off into the sky, speeding off as quickly as he can. Gotta go find food and circle back around. Enjoy the peace while you can!]

[freezetheheavens]

[Definitely going to enjoy that peace.

By the time Goten circles back, Toushirou would have finally moved inside his temple to get some proper rest. Maybe.]

[sonofson]

[As promised, Goten isn't gone for too long.

When he doesn't find Hitsu outside, he does head inside. But instead of tracking down Hitsugaya, he heads for the kitchen with his arms full! Granted he isn't the quietest or the neatest when it comes to stuff in the kitchen.

There are times he is talking; calling Izumo (yes he got his phone just for this) for quick instructions on food before getting back to work. It's going to be a bit before he gets what he wants ready.]

[freezetheheavens]

[When he feels Goten approaching his temple, he braces himself, as if ready to have the shinki come in and track him down.

But he's more surprised when he isn't; instead, he hears noises in the kitchen and it's enough to have him leaving the safety of his room to check out what's going on. By the time he enters the kitchen, he blinks slowly at the sight, unsure if he's actually believing what he's seeing.]

....What are you doing?
