Hitsugaya's frown deepened into a grimace. Depending on the type of bomb, it could be better to freeze it (i.e. preventing an explosion), but at the same time he wanted to know what type of bomb it was. If he did freeze it, it would shatter before he had a chance to figure out what he was dealing with. For someone who hated not knowing something as much as Hitsugaya did, the answer was easy. If a few buildings were felled, he honestly couldn't care less. So long as the man and woman who'd been there with him were out of the way.

It looked like they were getting there at least. So he wasted no more time. The cigarette still in his hand, he stepped back into shunpo, easily catching up with the other two in only one or two steps before falling back into the realm of sight. Better to stick with them for the moment, just in case.
