Chapter 7 The Adventure Begins
The next few days were that of soul reapers seeking out and meeting the new lieutenant. Vegeta was constantly being confronted by members of other squads and welcomed. Kurotsuchi no longer sought out Vegeta after Toushiro threatened to turn him into an iceberg. Soifon, at first, didn't want anything to do with Vegeta but she soon found him to be an excellent training partner due to his incredible speed and immunity to her poisons. Zaraki finally got his chance to fight Vegeta after much persistence. The outcome of the resulting battle was what Toushiro already figured it would be and that was the saiyan prince pounding the crazy captain into the ground with ease. Rukia Kuchiki, member of squad 13 and Byakuya Kuchiki's younger adopted sister, told the substitute soul reaper Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends of the events and they all visited Vegeta as well. Ichigo was even able to get Vegeta to spar with him, with the teenager ending up the loser and badly hurt. As an apology, Vegeta taught Ichigo how to fight without using so much of his stamina, something the young man figured was going to be very useful. Being so strong and experienced, Vegeta was often asked to assist in the training of many soul reapers which he gladly accepted. Head-Captain Yamamoto personally gave the prince a squad 10 lieutenants badge like Rangiku's which he wore tightly around his chest since he was mostly seen on all fours. Although he was curious to know who Coge was, Toushiro remained quiet over the subject after what he saw the mere mention of that name from the Arrancar did to Vegeta. The last thing he wanted to do was send Vegeta into a blind rage where all hell would break loose. At the beginning of the day, Toushiro and Vegeta would play a little to warm up for the days tasks and then Vegeta would go off and explore the Seireitei and the Rukon District, familiarizing himself with everything while Toushiro went to work with paperwork and other duties. When everything was done for the day, Vegeta retuned with Toushiro to the boys quarters and enjoyed a peaceful sleep with the boy genius huddling close to the saiyan. But every night, something tore at Vegeta. Something only he knew. Before Lechku appeared, Vegeta had almost forgotten about his old life. One morning, Toushiro awoke to find Vegeta gone and his badge lying on his desk.
Toushiro: "Rangiku... Have you seen Vegeta?"
Rangiku: "No I haven't. As a matter of fact none of the squad members have. This isn't like him."
All of squad 10 searched for Vegeta. By noon there was still no sign of him, and Toushiro was getting worried.
Toushiro: "I'd better see if anyone else has seen him."
The young captain asked around the other squads but still no luck. Some of the other captains and lieutenants helped in the search but they all came back with nothing. Then, Kurotsuchi came up with the information they had all been looking for and explained it in a captains meeting. That night, while Toushiro slept peacefully, Vegeta traveled through the Senkaimon alone and went back to the living world. Once there, he dashed into the night to where no one knew. The news came as quite a shock for Toushiro.
Toushiro: "Why would he do this?"
Komamura: "You mean you don't know?"
Toushiro: "I'll admit that he's been a little quiet lately, but I thought that he was just tired."
Shunsui: "Still what would make him to just run off without telling anyone."
Byakuya: "Vegeta's not the type to do something without reason."
Ukitake: "You're right, it must be important."
Kurotsuchi: "Need I remind everyone that Vegeta isn't a soul but still a living being."
Yamamoto: "In that case the best thing to do is wait. If Vegeta does not return within one week, we'll have to assume the worst. Captain Hitsugaya, please let us know if Vegeta contacts you."
Toushiro: "Yes sir."
The meeting ended and the captains returned to their divisions. However, Toushiro wasn't so sure that Vegeta wasn't in any danger. In fact, the boy was almost convinced that something was wrong. When he got back to his office, the child prodigy informed his remaining lieutenant of the situation.
Rangiku: "So what are you going to do, captain?"
Toushiro: "I'll wait until tomorrow before I make my decision. If I don't hear from Vegeta by then, then I'm going after him."
Rangiku: "But captain you can't be serious! Do you know what kind of trouble you'll get into?!"
Toushiro: "I'm fully aware of that and it's not like I haven't faced it before. Now I need you to do me a favor."
Rangiku: "What is it?"
Toushiro: "I want you to inform Kisuke Urahara of the situation. Tell him of my plans and to be ready for my travel to the world of the living tomorrow night unless he hears from me. Now go, quickly!"
Rangiku: "Yes sir!"
And Rangiku left for the world of the living as fast as she could, leaving Toushiro to wonder what Vegeta may be up to.
Toushiro: "What's wrong, Vegeta?"
In the world of the living, it was dusk when Ichigo and his friends were walking home after school, with Kon just about to drive Ichigo wild.
Ichigo: "You know your just about to piss me off, Kon!"
Uryu: "Like that's nothing new."
Ichigo: "Don't even get me started, Uryu."
Kon: "I'm just saying that you need to respect me a little more, Ichigo. Without me you'd be nothing!"
Ichigo: "That IT!!"
Ichigo grabbed the stuffed lion and tossed it across the street as hard as he could.
Orihime: "Nice toss, Ichigo!"
Chad: "Hm."
Ririn: "Will he ever learn?"
Kurodo: "I must admit he is persistent!"
Noba: "Indeed."
Just then, Kon slammed into something... Or rather someone.
Kon: "AH!"
Ichigo and company all turned to Kon and there they saw a familiar figure standing there, looking down at the mod soul.
Chad: "Wait, isn't that...?"
Ichigo: "Vegeta?!"
It was Vegeta.
Orihime: "Oh hi Vegeta!"
Uryu: "What's he doing here?"
Ichigo: "And without Toushiro."
Then, without saying a word, Vegeta ran off to the east at full speed.
Ichigo: "Hey wait! Vegeta!"
Orihime: "Why'd he just run off?"
Uryu: "And what was with that look in his eyes?"
Chad: "Do you think Toushiro knows?"
Ichigo: "I'm about to find out, let's meet at Urahara's Shop in an hour."
Orihime, Chad and Uryu all agreed and sprinted for home. Ichigo picked up Kon and ran home. After dodging his fathers usual welcome home wrestling match, the orange hair teenager tried calling Toushiro. During the time when Vegeta was seen as a ryoka, Ichigo told the captain that they would gladly help in anyway they could. So the young captain and Ichigo gave each other their cellphone numbers incase Toushiro needed to get a hold of Ichigo fast. The phone rang and rang, but there wasn't an answer.
Ichigo: "That's odd."
An hour later, the four met at Urahara Shop where Kisuke Urahara, the former captain of squad 12, and Yoruichi Shihoin, the former captain of squad 2, were waiting.
Uryu: "So what did Toushiro say?"
Ichigo: "He didn't answer. What's going on?"
Urahara: "You're in luck. Rangiku stopped by and told me that Vegeta disappeared this morning. It was later discovered that he left the soul society and came to the world of the living for reasons unknown. If he didn't hear from Vegeta by tomorrow night, captain Hitsugaya's going to come looking for him."
Yoruichi: "We were told to get ready unless we heard from him."
Chad: "Does anyone know why Vegeta left?"
Urahara: "Unfortunately, no one does."
Ichigo: "I'm going to try calling Toushiro again."
Everyone grew quiet as Ichigo called up Toushiro's number again. This time, there was an answer.
Toushiro: "Nows not a good time to talk, Ichigo."
Ichigo: "Toushiro, we just learned what's going on! Forget waiting until tomorrow night, get over here now! Uryu, Chad, Orihime and I just ran into Vegeta and he seemed upset about something! We also know which direction he's heading in! If you don't hurry, the trail will be cold!"
Toushiro: "I'm on my way!"
Sure enough, it didn't take Toushiro long to arrive at Urahara Shop. He came alone and replaced his captains uniform with a light brown cape. Without wasting any time, Ichigo turned into a soul reaper and led Toushiro to the spot where he and the others had seen Vegeta.
Toushiro: "You said he seemed upset about something. Did he say what?"
Ichigo: "No. He ran off that way before any of us could get a chance to speak with him. He had this look in his eyes, like he was determined but at the same time fearful."
Just then, Renji and Rukia arrived.
Rukia: "Ichigo!"
Renji: "Captain Hitsugaya!"
Toushiro: "What's going on here?! Why are you two here?!"
Renji: "Rangiku was worried so she told us what you were doing. We decided to assist you incase you couldn't get Ichigo or the others to help."
Ichigo: "That's a bunch of crap! Why wouldn't we help?!"
Renji: "I don't know!"
Rukia: "Head-Captain Yamamoto is aware of your actions, captain. He said to alert them incase we need backup."
Toushiro: "What tipped him off?"
Renji: "An unknown ryoka came to the soul society. He demanded us to tell him where Vegeta was and when we told him that he wasn't here, he said; That weakling must already be on his way to face Lord Coge!"
Rukia: "And then he said; Lord Coge will rule over all once Vegeta is killed and there's nothing you can do to stop him!"
Renji: "More like shouting it."
Toushiro: *So Vegeta is in danger!*
Orihime: "What are we going to do?"
Ichigo: "Toushiro we'll follow you."
Toushiro: "That's Captain Hitsugaya to you. Which way did Vegeta go again?"
Ichigo pointed to the east. Toushiro followed Ichigo's finger and then closed his eyes.
Toushiro: "I need complete silence."
Even though they didn't know what the young captain was doing, they obeyed. The world fell silent as he concentrated. Although he found tracking down Vegeta's energy signal in the soul society very easy, it was another story in the world of the living due to the fact that Vegeta was the only one with this kind of energy in the soul society. Then he remembered something Vegeta had said.
Vegeta: "Each saiyans aura is a different color. Kakarot's is blue, mine is white. Where ever we go, we leave small traces of energy behind that will fade in a few hours."
Toushiro concentrated harder. Then he saw it in his mind... A trail of white energy heading east.
Toushiro: "I've got his trail! Follow me!"
Without a moment to loose, Toushiro ran off with Ichigo and the others close behind him.
