Damn.. It.. He should be the one providing protection.. Not the other way around.. But he couldn't deny the feeling of helplessness that filled him at the sight.. He should've been more careful.. The increasing of Hollows in a certain city had caught several Shinigamis' attention, that was for sure. The Captain of the tenth division, Toshiro Hitsugaya, decided that it would be best to go there himself. So together with his two lieutenants, Rangiku Matsumoto and you, he went to the place as to investigate. He couldn't deny that he had a bad feeling though.. About all this. Why were so many hollows there..? As soon as you got there, he felt a strong surge of Spiritual Pressure - an Espada not being far off. Well this was trouble.. While you and Rangiku were busy dealing with the Hollows, Toshiro took on the Espada, ready to use Hyorinmaru if needed. Just as the fight had begun, Toshiro was taken off guard as the Espada member disappeared, only to reappear behind him. He braced himself for any attack, only to feel nothing. When he turned his head, he was met with you standing like a shield in front of him, your Zanpakuto in your hands while a sharp pain coursed through your body. In order to keep the Captain safe, you used your own body as a barrier and took the severe injury that had been meant for him. "Damn it, {{user}}..", he muttered silently, not haven expected the act of protection.
