Tōshirō Hitsugaya vs. The Reigai-Hinamoris

Tōshirō Hitsugaya vs. The Reigai-Hinamoris is a fight taking place in the Reigai Uprising. It focuses upon the conflict between 10th Division Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya and the twin clones of Momo Hinamori.

Prologue
Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya runs across a wall, commenting that battles have erupted all across Seireitei. As Hitsugaya runs, he thinks to himself that Kageroza Inaba must be apprehended as soon as possible, stopping suddenly in his tracks. He looks across the far expanse, and notices Lieutenant Momo Hinamori sitting upon a nearby rooftop. She turns in his direction, calling out his name. Hitsugaya is surprised at her appearance, as the two stare at each other.

Hitsugaya jumps over to the ledge, asking what she is doing here. Momo explains that she woke up after being tended to by the 12th Division, and that no-one was around. She wonders where everyone went, to which Hitsugaya comments that she does not look well enough to be moving about. Momo reassures him, claiming that everything is alright. Hitsugaya explains that there are many battles occurring across Seireitei, and that they could just as easily become involved. He tells her to relocate somewhere safe, to which Momo reassures him, attempting to stand up.

However, she struggles, and Hitsugaya comes to her aid. Before she can topple to the ground below, he grabs Momo, as several clay tiles shatter on the floor. Hitsugaya reaffirms that she is still unwell, informing her that she needs to rest. Momo apologizes to Hitsugaya, before drawing her sword to him. However, Hitsugaya catches her strike in mid-air, as a Reigai bracelet becomes visible on her forearm. He comments that she cannot kill him, as Reigai-Hinamori asks whether Hitsugaya is going to kill him again.

Battle
Hitsugaya is shocked by her statement, reminiscing back to his previous conflict. As Hitsugaya removes his hand from her blade, Reigai-Hinamori takes the opportunity, running him through. Blood spills from the wound, as Hitsugaya collapses onto the floor. Reigai-Hinamori reiterates her sincere apologies, commenting that it isn't her fault. As Hitsugaya staggers to his feet, blaming Kageroza for coming up with the plan. Reigai-Hinamori raises her blade once again, swinging down upon Hitsugaya. He then flees from Reigai-Hinamori, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

As she pursues him, Reigai-Hinamori gains upon him, slashing repeatedly. However, he dodges these attacks, jumping onto a separate ledge. As Reigai-Hinamori attacks the ledge, Hitsugaya leaps into the air. He attempts to draw his sword, but stops when he sees her anguished expression. Hitsugaya is then caught off guard by Reigai-Hinamori, who cuts him across his mid-section. He then falls to the ground, stumbling up moments later. Reigai-Hinamori apologizes once more, releasing her Zanpakutō's ability.

As a fireball charges upon her Zanpakutō, she sends it hurtling at Hitsugaya, who dodges with only moments to spare. Hitsugaya escapes from the explosion unharmed, but comes across Momo Hinamori. He is surprised at her arrival, backing away promptly. She is surprised also at his behavior, as Reigai-Hinamori appears from behind, hurtling him into the wall with her Zanpakutō's ability. Momo calls out in shock at this, facing her Reigai. She clashes with her counterpart, demanding to know why she hurt Hitsugaya.

The Reigai pleads that she did not do it of her own will, as Hitsugaya observes the two clashing. As the two clash, both Hinamoris call out to him, asking for his assistance. Momo Hinamori backs away, using Bakudō #4 Hainawa to bind Reigai-Hinamori. The Reigai begs Hitsugaya to help her, stating that the other is an impostor. However, Momo avidly denies this, as Hitsugaya is shocked at this revelation. Momo charges at the Reigai, who pleads again with Hitsugaya. However, before Momo can deal the finishing blow, Hitsugaya intervenes, preventing her from moving further.

Before Hitsugaya can react, he is stabbed from behind by the binded Reigai. Moments later, Momo charges at him, running him through. The two Reigai retract their swords, both apologizing promptly. They release their Zanpakutō's ability once again, sending a huge fire explosion hurtling towards Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya is sent crashing across the ground, as the two Reigai tower over his fallen body. They apologize to him, explaining that this is all Kageroza's plan, admitting that the two of them are undoubtedly weaker than him. However, the Reigai-Hinamoris explain that Kageroza told them to let down his guard, in order to defeat him.

They explain that Kageroza was aware of the fact that Hitsugaya could never harm his childhood friend, and that they exploited this trait. Hitsugaya struggles upon the ground, glancing back at the two Reigai. They apologize once more, telling him not to hold this against them. Hitsugaya realizes that the two were Reigai all along, commenting that he is glad that that is so. He tries to stand up, but is unable to. The Reigai express their confusion over his gladness, commenting that they tricked him. However, Hitsugaya states that he is fine with that, so long as the real Momo isn't involved in the fight.

The Reigai are surprised at this, to which Hitsugaya divulges that he doesn't ever want to hurt Momo again. They clutch their swords at the mention of the real Momo, raising them above the ailing Hitsugaya. They promise to make his death quick, as Yoruichi Shihōin appears behind the Reigai. She uses Shunkō, kicking the Reigai-Hinamoris through several buildings. Hitsugaya is shocked by her sudden arrival, as the two Reigai emerge from the rubble. They comment that they came within an inch of achieving their goals, stating that they wish they were the actual Momo. The two then revert back to a mannequin form, collapsing onto the ground.

Aftermath
Hitsugaya and Yoruichi walk over to the scene, where the Reigai's Shihakushō lie upon the ground. Yoruichi picks up the red pill on the ground, commenting that Hitsugaya is too naïve, prompting him to ask whether she was in Soul Society the entire time. Yoruichi confirms this, stating that she had unfinished business to tend to. She asks him what Hitsugaya is doing, to which he states that he has a similar goal. Hitsugaya prepares to leave, as Yoruichi tells him not to strain himself. He uses Shunpo to leave the area, leaving Yoruichi to ponder the situation.
