Bleach special chapter- Huyugen ni Shisu (Buried under the ice field)
It begins with a scene of a field which fills with snow, “I dream of an
ice field. I could hear the voice echoing as if it will destroy, as if
it will surround every direction, as if it’s a thunder from a faraway
place.”
“Good morning, Shiro Chan” Hitsugaya opens his eyes with much
annoyance. He sees Hinamori’s face an just inch from his and tells her,
“you’re too close.” But she ignores him and tells him to go eat
breakfast or else she will be late for first day at the academy.
Hitsugaya just looks at her , gets up and says, “so boring.”
A scene cuts to the gate of Seireitei where Hitsugaya just says to
Hinamori not to come back which she just waves at him happily. But an
old woman behind him asks if it’s ok for him to say that to someone he
will not meet for a while. Hitsugaya replies its fine, because when
they have holidays she will come back anyway.
Then he sees that there are a boy and a girl looking at him. When their
eyes meet, those two just look away shyly and walk out of there.
‘Tatsukiji and Ayumi, Hinamori’s neighbors. They’re scare of me but
there is nothing to do. Just know that they scare of me, just like
everyone else. ‘ thinks Hitsugaya then continues his thoughts, ‘The
south of lucon, district 1 Junrinun, only two people who do not scare
of me are Hinamori and this grandma. The silver hair, the green-blue
eyes and this cold attitude…they all say “it’s just like ice.”’
‘But you never say that even once. That’s why I love grandma’, Hitsugaya thinks with a small smile.
Scene fast forwards to five years later. Everything is starting to
change which include Hitsugaya becoming taller and Hinamori’s hair is
getting longer and His grandmother…is getting thinner.
She calls out Hitsugaya’s name but he says he will buy her natto and
left the house. When he reaches a place, a man rudely tells him 3 *kang
which he pays but a seller slams the coins on the table and quickly
takes his hand back. Hitsugaya takes the money and is about to leave
when he heard a woman yells, “Wait!! How could you give costumer money
that way!!” Hitsugaya turns around only to be greeted with a woman’s
breasts which cause him to hit the table and gets a nosebleed.
That woman wears a black hakama with a zampakutou hangs around her waist. She is Matsumoto Rangiku.
“You just see him as a kid so you can act however you like? I cannot
believe this shop is so rude!” Then she rushes to Hitsugaya’s side and
picks him to her level, “You too! When will you stop crying! Just be a
man and hit him back!” Which angers Hitsugaya “And whose fault is it?
And I wasn’t crying!! Let go!!” Matsumoto is about to hit back but
something about him stops her which gives Hitsugaya to run away.
That same night Hitsugaya has the same dream again but this time he sees a dragon, an ice dragon in front of him.
“Boy!!!” A dragon roars, “You are you….” But Hitsugaya couldn’t hear the end words because the wind is too strong.
“what!!!? I can’t hear it!!”
“My name is…..” a dragon says but its last word is disappeared with the wind.
Hitsuagaya wakes up with sweats all over his face and breathing hard.
Suddenly he hears a voive greeting him. In front of his is Matsumoto
and Hitsugaya tenses up but she smiles at him and says, “You better try
to control your reiatsu before you go to sleep. Your grandmother is
freezing to death, can’t you see?”
Hitsugaya sees that Matsumoto is right which causes him to go
speechless. “Boy….you should become a shinigami.” Matsumoto suddenly
goes serious. Her words stunt Hitsugaya so much. “A kid who is so
powerful should learn how to control the powers. I’ll warn you, if this
continues, one day you will kill that old woman because of your
powers." Before Hitsugaya could say anything Matsumoto’s finger touches
Hitsugaya’s heart and asks, “You heard a voice right? If you can find
out where that voice comes from, you can control your powers. That is
what we called ‘shinigami.’”
She looks at him again and says, “I will say this one last time, boy.”
The next day Hitsugaya explains everything to an old woman and she
tells him to go, “You have been so patient. Because you think I would
be lonely. You think about my feelings that’s why you have to accept so
many things..but like this….is what makes me sad the most.” Her words
make Hitsugaya wants to cry which in the end he holds his hands on his
knees and let an old woman hold him.
At the ice field a whisper from a boy in a black hakama can be heard,
“I can hear a voice. A faraway roar from somewhere near; I’ve decided
to find out where is that voice comes from. Even if I have to bury
myself in the middle of this ice field.”
A wind blows him and he disappears in the middle of that lonely ice field.
