Toshiro raised his blade to shoot off an ice blast at Buzz-B. As the ice shot out a sudden blast of fire came from the side, causing him to turn his head and glare at the other member of the Stern Ritter that had approached the fight. Out of the corner of his eye he watched Buzz-B to make sure he didn't make a move. Instead he saw the guy with the Mohawk start yelling at the young female that had come through. "Basterbine! What the hell are you doing!?"

The female turned her head, tilting it as she rolled her eyes at the man. "You know... it's pretty bad when the students abilities out do the teachers."

"You cocky little brat!"

"Stay out of this."

"This is my damn fight!"

"Not anymore." The female pushed a strand of hair away from her face and looked right at Toshiro before sending her own flames to surround the entire ice sphere.

The small taicho narrowed his eyes. "Look... I told him already that the flames won't get through."

"Let me ask you a question. What happens to a pocket of air when it is heated up to the point the pressure built up can no longer be contained? The last time I checked the answer is an explosion."

"Taicho!" A sudden explosion could be heard from inside the flames which caused the female to pull back her flames. The fukutaicho had grabbed the child taicho and pulled him close to cover most of his small body from the explosion. As the steam cleared she fell away to the ground, first degree burns on her body.

Toshiro's eyes widened. "Matsumoto..."

"Now we can take you out!" Bazz-B jumped forward as the boy turned painfully around to lift up an ice wall to shelter himself and Rangiku. "How long are your walls going to hold up with two fire users?"

Someone moved behind him much like how he used to move behind people, causing his eyes to widen a second time just as the heat from the rise in humidity as well as the burns on his backside began to get to him. A thin arm wrapped around his neck while another reached out launching a blast of fire through Toshiro's wall at the man. The man let out a yelp. "Basterbine! What the hell are you doing! Just because you're his majesties favorite grandchild doesn't mean you have the freedom to do as you please."

The arm tightened around the boy's throat letting him know that he wasn't to fight back while her thumb maneuvered his blade out of his hand causing it to clatter to the ground. "You're mistaken about me being the majesties favorite. However, if you want to bring him into this I'll tell you that I'm under orders to bring this particular taicho back alive."

"Him? He got his Bankai stolen by Cang Du!"

"Would you stop already thinking that he's weaker then you just because he's the letter bellow you?" The girl rolled her eyes. "Do you really think that you should be arguing with his majesties orders."

"You were upset with that unknown stranger getting named as his majesties heir. Then again this wouldn't happen to have anything to do with you thinking you should have the position as you're his majesties favorite grandkid?"

"I told you, I'm not his favorite." Toshiro struggled a little, only to have the female tighten her grip around his neck. "Candice, Menias... I know you're both watching. Take that woman to the Stern Ritter infirmary for healing. Make sure though she's tied down."

"Excuse me! What gives you the right to order us around?" Another female came out of the shadows.

"I have the right to order you around because my orders come directly from his majesty. Now move."

"Sheesh. You're always such a bitch."

"Why don't you go and help them Lilly."

"You didn't tell me to help them in the first place."

"That's because you're to small to be of any help to them. Go annoy them instead."

Toshiro began to struggle as the females approached and took Rangiku away. "Don't!"

The purple haired female kneed him in the rear causing him to flinch because of the burns. Buzz-B glared. "So I'm going to have to go else where to find a fight?"

"No. You're going to help me with him by restraining him."

"Excuse me! That's not my job!"

"It's your job now. This is important." Reluctantly the man came forward and grabbed Toshiro's arms and twisted them painfully behind his back. "Now follow me."

Toshiro felt himself forced forward, his energy tanking because of his injuries. He gritted his teeth at his frustration. They passed through some doors and finally came to a room. He caught site of the girl pointing at the bed and he struggled only to find his arm twisted even more. The man shoved him down onto the bed face first. "Now what? What do we do with this brat?"

"Strip him."

"You..." The man narrowed his eyes at her.

"Pervert!" Toshiro blurted the words out causing the man to yank him up. This in turn caused him to no longer be able to hold the contents in his stomach, vomiting on the man's shoes.

The man shoved him onto the bed again. "Shut up." The boy began to struggle as the top part of his uniform began to be pulled off painfully. "If you don't I'll seriously hurt you."

When the top part was pulled off the female spoke. "We'll need to treat those burns."

"What? He's the enemy!" The sound of the door opening caused Bazz-B to look up as he was still speaking. "Why shouldn't I harm him if he... you!"

Toshiro turned his head to see a man with long, light colored hair step into the room following the smaller of the three females that the purple haired female had bossed around. "See! She brought one of them here."

"Bazz-B..."

"Oi... I had nothing to do with this. She says she has orders from his majesty. Something you of all people should understand I can't go against. So..."

"Unhand that child."

Toshiro felt the man's arms let go and he pulled his uniform back up the little that it had been removed and then glanced around. Quickly he swung around to aim a kido spell at the man only to find himself being slammed down onto the bed face first, his back screaming from pain due to the burns on his backside. The man's face then close to the boy's causing the boy to freeze. "You..."

"What is it you want to say?" The man narrowed his eyes at the small taicho. He watched as the boy's mouth pushed shut and the child's eyes close. "Lillotto... please go and get some burn medicine, bandages as well as a uniform for a male around Bambietta's size. Some ice as well."

"Jugram! This child's the enemy! Why..."

"Would you really wish to anger the majesty?"

Toshiro's eyes opened up. "He's right you know."

The light haired man turned to look at him. "Excuse me?"

"I am an enemy, am I not?" The boy suddenly felt the man loosen his grip on his neck.

The man however ignored him while the door slammed as the small female left, making it obvious she wasn't happy with the situation. After a few minutes the girl came back and dropped the items onto the bed next to Toshiro. "Why are we helping an enemy?"

The man still didn't answer and the purple haired female reached down to pull the lower part of his uniform off, causing him to struggle. "Hey! Don't..."

The man's grip tightened around his neck and the verbal complaints stopped. The boy still gritted his teeth together, not happy that he was now stuck in his underwear. He then felt cold substance placed onto his burns, causing him to lurch from the shock. The smaller female suddenly spoke up. "He's kind of cute."

"Excuse me?" The small taicho's voice strained. The girl with the purple hair began to wrap bandages around his leg and then pulled on his arm asking him to sit up. She then bandaged his back area up. The man pulled and he found himself forced into one of their uniforms that was highly uncomfortable, the burns not helping. He looked up to see that the man who had attacked him was still there, glaring at him.

"What is so special about this kid? I mean..."

The man with the pale hair turned his head to glare at the man, stopping him short. He then turned back to Toshiro and the boy's eyes went wide. "Hold on... you."

"Spit it out. I promise you won't be harmed for speaking your mind."

"You look like Ichimaru Gin, but I know you're not him."

"You mean Haschwalth Jugin."

"Wait..." Toshiro shook his head.

"How does this kid know you're twin brother." Bazz-B's eyes widened. "Hey! He looks like he could be your long lost love child."

The boy's eyes snapped shut. "As if. I died on a plain of ice and came to Soul Society."

The purple female spoke up then. "No you didn't. We were both born here in Soul Society."

"Proof..."

"We both have the same birthday, December twentieth."

Toshiro's hands gripped the knees of his pants. "That..."

"Wait... you mean this kid is your brother's kid like she is. That's just swell."
