"Wait!!!" I shouted reaching up to her but i found myself sitting on a white bed, my hand stretched out. Blinking my eyes, i lowered my hand as i realized i was now in one of the rooms of squad 4.

Not a minute longer someone barged inside the room. "(Y/n)!?" It was Toshiro with a worried expression followed by Captain Unohana.

"T-toshiro?" I stammered surprised to see him there with an expression that is rare to see. "Are you alright?" He asked walking towards the bed i was on and i could only nod while Unohana nee-san came beside me to check my conditions.

"How long am i unconscious?" I asked as i hoist myself up to sit and Toshiro helping me up.

"About 2 days straight." Toshiro replied as i instantly look at him in shock. "T-two days?" I asked in shock which he only nod and i look at Unohana nee-san.

"(Y/n)-chan, do you remember anything before you black out?" Unohana nee-san asked as she look at me straight in the eye.

"All i could remember is..." i trailed off as i look down on my lap and subconsciously gripped the blanket. "All i could remember is, Krystel-sama die in my hands." I whispered out but enough for them to hear. I can feel them exchange glances before their eyes settled back on me.

"Anything else you remember?" Toshiro asked slightly leaning forward. Taking a quick glance at him, i swallowed the lump in my throat as i spoke. "I heard someone in my head, saying she apologized causing trouble to the others. That's all i could remember." I said, half lie.

"Is that so? Well i think you need to get rest, don't forget to drink your medicine in your night stand." Unohana nee-san said as she glances at Toshiro before walking out of the room.

"Guess i should go. I'll see you later." Toshiro said standing up from his seat taking a hold of my hand, he squeeze it lightly before walking towards the door, closing it in the process.

Heaving a sigh, i lay down on the mattress staring at the ceiling lost in thought.

'What should i do? A sister? I had a sister? Did oto-san really hid it from me?' Closing my eyes i ran my hands on my face easing my confusion. Removing my hands on my face i heave out another sigh before looking at the clock beside me, accompanied by my medicines, that read 5:29 pm.

It's already late in the afternoon, hoisting myself up once more i took the medicine and water beside me and drank it. Placing the glass back on the night stand, i remove the blanket off of me as i place my feet in the cold wooden floor. I need answer and i need it now.

Grabbing my shihakusho that was neatly placed in the chair along with my zanpakuto, i slip into it and fix my hair into a high ponytail before placing (z/n) at my side.

I slightly open the door of the room enough to peek through and i notice that no one were on the hallways as i quietly leave the room to not alert some people. I began to walk on the hallways as i hide my reiatsu, taking a turn on the corner i saw Unohana nee-san and immediately hide.

"Isane-san take a look at (y/n) after an hour and deliver her medicine and tend to her wounds later."

"Yes, Captain."

Hearing their conversation made me a little guilty for leaving the room without their knowledge. Well if i told Unohana nee-san about it, im sure she won't actually let me so, i had to take risk. I heard a distant chatter behind me and saw few members walking to my direction, i turned around hiding my face before blending with them when they reached my spot.

Unexpectedly the group were headed outside the barracks, and taking this chance i flashed step away when we were out the open as i immediately headed to squad 1 barracks.

I stood at my office balcony as i was staring at the night sky.

Sooner or later i had to explain to my daughter. Yet, i didn't actually think that Layla was alive all along. Guilt came crawling at my back as i remember why i hid it from my wife. The guilt i felt when Kurosaki came to speak at me, i don't blame him, i blame myself.

"Captain Shigekuni." I heard my name being called by my lieutenant as i faced where the source is. "Captain, (y/n)-san is here." He added as (y/n) enter the room.

"Leave us alone for a while." I ordered which he nod leaving the room and closing the door in the process.

"Oto-san, i want to know something." (Y/n) stated as she walk towards me andi just went to my seat and sat down. "What is it?" I asked looking away.

"Do i really have a sister?" She asked that caught me off guard, i should have expected it as her question but it still feel different. I stayed silent for a while before speaking.

"Yes you do." I said. "Did you purposely hid it from oka-san and i?" She asked once again and i nod, she let out a disbelieved scoff as she look at me. "No wonder, she hates you very much. And oka-san died not knowing she has another daughter and i grew up not knowing i had a sister?" She said in a tone of like sadness and betrayal.

"Why did you have to do it?" She asked, "In order to save you! I had to kill her! You both will die in a month after both of you were born, in order to save you i had to kill one of my daughter!" I yelled at her which she took a step back.

Silence engulf the room as she stare at me. "In a month," she started "in a month yet you have to kill her? Can't she just feel a small love from you and oka-san for a small amount of time!? Oka-san and i didn't even know her whole existence! You purposely hid it from us! Now i know why she actually despise you." (Y/n) stated with teary eyes looking at me in hate and anger before i can speak she flash stepped away.

What have i done? Now both of my daughter were angry at me.

I couldn't believe it, why? Why did oto-san had to lie so much?

After flash stepping away from the squad 1 barracks i headed towards my room in the squad 10 barracks flopping down into the mattress not minding my aching wounds.

"Also, i want to warn you. The time for Aizen to attack is near, you must be prepared." My sister warning rang through my mind as i made myself sit in the edge of my bed.

Making up my decision i went to my closet and pull out a random cloth enough to cover me. I grab anything that i need before walking out of my room. Heading towards a certain place where the senkaimon were.

I was currently at my office finishing up my paperworks so i could come and visit (y/n) again when i received a call.

"Yes?"

"Captain Hitsugaya, did (y/n)-san came there?" The sound of Captain Unohana worried me. "No, i didn't see her here." I replied. "Where could she have gone?" Captain Unohana mumbled in worry which got me worried too. (Y/n) wasn't in the condition to move much considering her wounds from the previous event.

"Captain Unohana what happened?" I asked anxiety evident in my voice. "(Y/n)-san wasn't in her room, she must have sneak out without us noticing. She's good at hiding her reiatsu after all." Captain Unonaha said, "I'll try to look for her here." I replied and not waiting for her reply, i hung up and dashed out of my office headed to her assigned room in my barracks.

....

Upon arriving, i was only met by an empty room but the scent indicate that she were here earlier. I look around for more clue as i try to feel her reiatsu but no avail, until i feel an ounce of it near the senkaimon in the place where ichigo and kuchiki fought.

In instant i flash step out of the room and headed to the certain place.

'I have to do this.' I kept chanting this phrase in my head as i reached the senkaimon and opened it. 'I'm sorry everyone, i made up my mind i have and must do this.' I thought taking a deep breath. I was about to enter the senkaimon when someone grabbed my wrist pulling me backwards causing my hood to fall from my head as i face the person who yank me back.

"T-toshiro!?" I said in shock not expecting him at all.

"(Y/n)-san where do you think your going?" He asked, his tone was demanding yet his eyes says something else; worry and sadness making me look down in guilt.

"I'm sorry but i must leave." I said looking down avoiding his eyes. Using his pointing finger and his thumb, he tilt my chin up so i could look at him in the eye. "Why?" He asked, gathering enough courage i slightly pushed myself away from him.

"(Y/n) please don't leave." He pleaded grabbing my hand but i back faced him. I can't bring myself to answer his question. In fact i don't even know why i am leaving in the first place but, Aizen attack was near. I think its the best option to leave.

"I-i have to." I replied, his grip in my hand tighten, it was rare to see Toshiro pleading and worried about me. It pains me to see him like this.

"I love you (y/n)! Please don't leave." I tensed up as i heard him confess, he pulled me once more and i was facing him, his eye was desperately pleading. I bit my lower lip, my emotions were all mixed together.

Grabbing his cheeks in my hands i pulled him into a kiss. Closing my eyes i pour all my emotion into it as i felt him kiss back.

Pulling away i spoke. "I love you too but, its woven in my soul, i need to let you go." I said a tear escape my eyes as pushed him away from and using my kido i put him into sleep.

'I'm so sorry Toshiro, i truly love you but, it has to be done.' I thought before entering the senkaimon.
