Previously happened in Starlight Dreams:
Sanae sighed. "I guess it's over now..." She whispered. "I'm so tired..." She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry Hoshi-chan. You wouldn't understand a grown-up person's heart." She grabbed her sword and threw it at Hitsugaya, but Hitsugaya simply dodged it and dashed forward to Sanae. He stabbed her in the stomach. Sanae looked at Hitsugaya and gave him a warm smile. Hitsugaya's eyes widened and at that moment, his zanpaktou froze Sanae completely. Hitsugaya stopped. Thinking about Sanae's face at that moment. Hinamori saw that Hitsugaya didn't do anything. "Hitsugaya-kun!" Hinamori shouted.
By Hinamori's voice, he realized why he wanted to kill her and he resumed his attack. "Usenka." And the ice broke in a thousand pieces. It was clear now.
Sanae...was gone.
Hitsugaya stood there thinking about her strange smile. "What was that for?" Then he heard someone shouting his name. "Hitsugaya-kun!" Hitsugaya turned around and saw Hinamori smiling at him. He smiled back, but not that visible. He walked to Hinamori. "Are you all right?" He asked concerned. Hinamori nodded. Hitsugaya turned to Matsumoto. "Matsumoto, are you alright too?" He asked.
"Hai, I'm fine." Matsumoto said. "And you taichou?"
"Yeah. Thanks to someone." Hitsugaya looked at Tomoshibi who was still lying on the ground sleeping. "Is she...?"
"She's fine. No need for you to worry." Hinotama said a bit angrily. Hitsugaya didn't care about the tone Hinotama was speaking to him. "And you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Just fine." Hinotama said when he looked at Tomoshibi.
Hitsugaya looked at the doors and then he turned to them again. "So...how are we going out of this?" He asked. "We have two people injured."
Hinotama got up. "I'll carry Hoshiyumi." He said determined. With that, Hinamori got up too. "I'm fine. I can walk on my own."
"I'm not concerned that you maybe can't walk on your own." Hitsugaya said. "The question is how long you'll have to wait till you collapse with that wound." He looked at her.
Matsumoto got up. "Yosh, good job taichou! Let's go." She smiled. "We're going home!" Matsumoto went ahead.
"Oi, can someone help me get Hoshiyumi on my back?" Hinotama asked. Hitsugaya glared at him. "You're a man. Shouldn't you be able to do that yourself?" He said annoyed.
"Well, I'm not going to toss her around while she's sleeping. I'm a gentleman you know." Hinotama said.
"A gentleman who can't carry a girl on his back." Hitsugaya said.
"I asked if someone could help me get her on my back dammit! I didn't say I couldn't carry her." Hinotama yelled.
"Oi. Do you want her to wake up?" Hitsugaya said annoyed.
Hinotama froze. "I get it." Hinotama said annoyed. "I'll do it myself. Sheesh. You're really pesky sometime, Hitsu-taichou." Hinotama grabbed Tomoshibi at her waist and put her in a sitting position against the wall. Then he could carry Tomoshibi on his back. Meanwhile Hitsugaya noticed what Hinotama called him. "Show some respect, dammit! It's Hitsugaya-taichou for you!" He yelled.
Hinotama got up, carrying Tomoshibi on his back. "What? I put a –taichou behind it, didn't I? I'm just too lazy so I swallow some words in. By the way, don't yell. Do you want to wake Hoshiyumi up?" He said annoyed. Then he went to walk beside Matsumoto.
"Damn you!" Hitsugaya yelled at Hinotama. "Hitsugaya-kun?" Hitsugaya turned around immediately. "What's wrong, Hinamori?" He asked.
Hinamori put her arm over Hitsugaya's shoulder. "Let's go." Hinamori smiled while she was leading Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya blushed a little. "Baka! I can walk on my own. It should be the other way around, Hinamori." Hinamori smiled. "Hai. Hai." They walked away together.
--
Outside...
They were surprised no one was guarding the doors to the outside world. Anyway, they were outside, but this time they were running. They wanted to go back as fast as they could off course.
Hinamori ran slower than they were in the castle. She put her hand on her wound. "Damn it. It hurts." Soon, she was far behind the group. At a moment, she stopped running. She panted and kneeled down. "Damn, I'm dizzy. I can't run like this."
"Hinamori." Hinamori looked above immediately and saw Hitsugaya standing over her. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm just tired." Hinamori said. She looked down and she was shivering. Hitsugaya kneeled down and looked her in the eyes. "Hinamori. I'm going to ask you for the last time. Are you okay?" (Hell yeah! Grey's anatomy xD) He asked. The rest was standing from far and they looked at the two.
Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya while she panted. "Yeah I'm-" Hinamori was pulled by Hitsugaya and Hitsugaya put her on his back. "Like hell, that I'm believing that. Hinamori." He said quietly. He walked to the others.
"So you're going to be the man here too, Hitsu-taichou?" Hinotama smirked.
"I said to call me Hitsugaya-taichou, you lousy officer." He said annoyed.
"That's not fair, captain! I'm the only girl who isn't piggybagriding!" Matsumoto shouted.
"Stop shouting already. Do you want Hoshiyumi to wake up or something?" Hinotama said. "Besides, you're the only one who isn't injured and thank god already. How were we carrying three girls?"
Matsumoto pouted, but when she saw Hitsugaya carrying Hinamori on his back, she smiled. "That's okay right?"
"Mou, Hitsugaya-kun! I said I'm fine! I don't need you to carry me!" Hinamori shouted. "Besides...I'm heavy." She said silently. Hitsugaya raised his head. "You can't be heavy." Hinamori was surprised. "Why do you th-" Hitsugaya talked before his turn. "You were lying in a coma a few months ago and you didn't eat anything till then. Besides, you're like...always sick. You eat too less." He said with his eyes closed.
Hinamori pouted. "I can't do anything about it. That's mean, Shi-" Hitsugaya's cold voice interrupted. "Oi, don't you dare call me that. Especially when Hinotama is here."
Hinotama was curious now. He smirked and narrowed his eyes. "So, what kind of name has Momo-fukutaichou for Hitsu-taichou?"
"Shut up!" Hitsugaya shouted.
Tomoshibi opened her eyes slowly. Hinotama looked at her with his eyes widened and then he looked at Hitsugaya. "Look what you've done, Hitsu-taichou. Hoshiyumi woke up." He said.
"You were shouting too, you fool." Hitsugaya said annoyed.
"Hmm..." Tomoshibi looked around and saw that she was taller than everyone. Soon she realized Hinotama was under her walking. "What's the meaning of this? Kokuei?!"
"Oi, Hoshiyumi! Don't move so much! I can't carry you if you keep moving!" Hinotama said.
"Who said I need to be carried by you." Tomoshibi said ironically.
"Oi, oi. Is that how you talk to me after we saved your life?" Hinotama said annoyed. Tomoshibi glared at Hinotama. "I practicallysavedyour life. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here anymore." Tomoshibi looked up. "Not being here...Kokuei... That sounds nice, doesn't it?"
"You're damn right, Tomoshibi." Hitsugaya said annoyed. Hitsugaya then got a glimpse of Hinotama's dead glare, but he didn't pay any attention to it though.
"Mou, Hoshiyumi stop that already." Hinotama said annoyed. "I thought you-" Tomoshibi cut Hinotama off. "Thank you..." She said quietly. "Thank you everyone."
Everyone was staring at her with them eyes widened. Everyone felt uncomfortable by Tomoshibi's sentence. Matsumoto was the first one who said something. "It's all right Tomoshibi-chan! It was only natural that Hinotama would rescue you." Matsumoto glared at Hinotama. "He was the one who brought you there in the first place." She said angrily.
Hinotama reacted angrily. "I said I'm sorry already! Sheesh, how many times do I have to say it?"
Tomoshibi leaned on Hinotama more so she could say something in his ear. "Well, I didn't hear it." She smirked.
Hinotama looked the other way. "Well, I...I...Well..." He saw that everyone is looking at him. "Damn it. I can't apologize if everyone is watching me." He said. Then two hands covered his eyes. He was startled by it. "Baka! Hoshiyumi! What are you doing?! I'm still carrying you! I can't see anything like this!"
"Bear with it. I'm doing this for you. Well say it." Tomoshibi said.
"I'm s-" Tomoshibi cut Hinotama off. "That's enough." She said. She put her hands away and Hinotama could see things again. Hinotama was surprised. Off course. "What do you mean, that's enough?" He asked. Tomoshibi smiled. "I see you have a hard time to say it. So I'll spare you that."
Hinotama blushed. "Hoshiyumi!"
Matsumoto chuckled. "Well, well, we have another sweet couple here." Then Matsumoto looked at Hitsugaya and Hinamori. Hinamori slowly fell asleep.
Hitsugaya felt that Hinamori was leaning more on him. "Hinamori, what's wrong?" Hinamori lay her head on Hitsugaya's shoulder. This caused that Hitsugaya blushed. "I'm just tired, that's all." Hinamori said weakly.
Hitsugaya was worried and he faced Tomoshibi. "Tomoshibi. Can you heal Hinamori's wound?" He asked.
Tomoshibi blinked a several times. "Sure. I'll try. It wouldn't be that hard with the moon outside." Tomoshibi searched for her zanpaktou and found it. "Kokuei. Bear with it for a while." She smiled. She pulled out her zanpaktou. Hinotama felt as if someone was stroking his ass and he blushed furiously. "Oi! Hoshiyumi!" Tomoshibi chuckled. "Don't Oi-Hoshiyumi to me." She smiled. "Hikaru, Tsukitori." Her sword began to glow blue and a ribbon appeared. "Hitsugaya-taichou, could you please run faster?"
Hitsugaya ran faster and when he was obviously ahead. Tomoshibi shot the ribbon in the wound and pulled it out immediately. Hinamori trembled. "Yasashi hikari no tsuki"(Gentle moonlight) Tomoshibi whispered. The wound slowly healed and Hinamori put her head on Hitsugaya again. "Are you feeling all right now?" Hitsugaya asked Hinamori. Then he felt a slight nod from Hinamori. It set him at ease. Suddenly, he saw a glimpse of Kuchiki Byakuya. He turned to Matsumoto. "Matsumoto, did you see what I saw?"
Matsumoto nodded. "I saw..." Her eyes widened when she caught a glimpse of Nemu's cloak. "Nemu-chan."
Hitsugaya was lost in thought. "Why would they come? Were they coming to us? Or would they..."
"Unohana-taichou!" Hinotama shouted in surprise. Unohana and Isane came in front of them. They stopped running. "Ah, Konbanwa...I see you're returning." Unohana said. Hitsugaya stepped forwards. "What's the meaning of this?" He asked.
"The main thing, about the war was planned in the winter, was because, there would be a limit for all captains in Hueco Mondo." Isane began. "Urahara Kisuke would take care about this issue, but he needed three months. However, because we were involved with Hueco Mondo more and more...He rushed to get it done. And he made it."
Hitsugaya's eyes widened. "So basically...You mean the war has started?"
Unohana looked at the five people standing in front of them. "I suggest you five to just return to Soul Society and take some rest. However, we don't exactly know about the war. It does seem that it's started, but just keep that for later." Unohana said. She looked at the other captains who were way too far ahead. "If you'll excuse me." Unohana disappeared.
Isane bowed and followed her captain. Leaving the group behind being astonished. Hitsugaya took a few steps. "Let's go back." He said unemotionally.
Everyone nodded. For some reason, everyone was quiet. Until Tomoshibi broke the silence. "Kokuei."
"Hm?"
"I need to put my zanpaktou away."
"Nani...?"
--
They returned to Soul society and they immediately ran to the fourth division.
"Hitsugaya-taichou! Hinamori-fukutaichou! Rangiku-fukutaichou! You're back from your mission! Do you need to be treated?" A fourth division's officer asked.
"Off course they need to..." Tomoshibi sighed. Then she was startled by Hinotama who was putting her down. "Kokuei!"
"Oi, you look a bit too lively after the death of your sister." Hitsugaya said.
"I don't know...Maybe I'm just relieved.." Tomoshibi stared at the wall before her. Then she felt a slight kiss on her cheek. She immediately blushed and turned around. Her eyes widened. "Ko-Kokuei?! What are you doing?" She asked shocked.
"You looked very cute right now." Hinotama smiled. Then he turned around. "Besides, I needed to thank you for today." He waved and then he walked to another fourth division officer to ask if he could be treated.
Tomoshibi stared at Hinotama who was walking away. Then she smiled. "Baka..." Suddenly she could feel the presence of someone beside her. She turned around and saw Matsumoto smirking. "Fukutaichou!" She recoiled. "What's wrong?" Sweat was dropping from her face.
"I saw that." Matsumoto smirked. "So...you didn't tell me you liked him, did you?"
Tomoshibi didn't know what to say. Then she put her annoying expression on. "Mou! I hate it when Kokuei pick the right moments to harass me when I don't expect them." She stared at the ground. "It make me feel uncomfortable. Mou!" She burst out.
Meanwhile, Hitsugaya and Hinamori were sitting on a seat, where they got treated by the fourth division's officers. (they were still in the same room with Tomoshibi and Matsumoto) Hitsugaya got slowly annoyed of Tomoshibi's shouting.
"Damn you Tomoshibi! This is a freaking hospital! Stop shouting like a high school girl in a bishounen academy! Get treated or get out!" Hitsugaya burst out.
Tomoshibi was quiet after Hitsugaya yelled at her. Matsumoto came closer to Tomoshibi and whispered in Tomoshibi's ear. "We will talk about this later."
Matsumoto turned to Hitsugaya and Hinamori. "Well I'll be going now with Tomoshibi-chan." She smiled. "Good luck you two." She winked. Then she dragged Tomoshibi to a few fourth division officers and the officers escorted them to another room.
Hitsugaya and Hinamori were quiet and they didn't look at each other. They were anxious about the things what happened in Hueco Mondo. The officers walked away and said they were alright if they rest a little. The two nodded and they sat again...alone with the two of them...Quietly...
"So..." Hitsugaya began. Then he startled by Hinamori's movement. She quickly leaned to Hitsugaya and kissed him on the cheek. Then she sat back on her usual place.
Hitsugaya's eyes were widened by what just happened. He was blushing heavily and not only him. Hinamori was too. "Hinamori, what were you-?"
"I was just thanking you. That's tradition in the living world right?" Hinamori stared at the ground still blushing.
"B-Baka. That's only when you're going on a date." Hitsugaya said. He diverted his face. "Besides, thank me for what?"
"For saving us and carrying me on your back. It was hard I bet." Hinamori said.
"Baka." Hitsugaya said annoyed. "One: you did everything and I just gave the finishing blow. Two: It would be hard if it was 100 years earlier. I'm way stronger now than back then."
Hinamori smiled. Damn what did he love that smile. "Thank you for reassuring me."
"It's nothing." Hitsugaya said. "By the way, how long are we going to sit here?"
"Eh?!" Hinamori realized it too.
Hitsugaya got up and so did Hinamori. "Come. I walk you to your division. You are getting panda eyes again."
"Hitsugaya-kun!"
"Oi, no yelling here."
--
Hinamori and Hitsugaya slowly got to the fifth division. To be precisely, they were almost at Hinamori's room. They met an acquaintance there. Tomoshibi was sitting before Hinamori's room. The two stared at her for a while. Then Tomoshibi realized they were there and she got up with a sad face.
"Tomoshibi-chan..." Hinamori started.
Tomoshibi bowed to them. "I'm...so sorry." She apologized. "I'm so sorry!" She apologized again. "I brought you in trouble. I made you feel insecure. I made you risk your life for someone who you already had forgotten. I-"
"That's enough." Hitsugaya said. "Stop being so insecure."
"That's true. I still want to know some things but don't be so insecure." Hinamori said firmly. "Raise your head. It's making us feel uneasy."
Tomoshibi raised her head. Her face was still sad. "What do you want to know?"
"Why did you have to kill us in the old days?" Hitsugaya asked.
"I don't know...My sister said I needed to kill you. If I let you alive, there would be something happening in the future. I'm not quite sure what it was. Perhaps my sister knew that you two would be good officers in the Gotei 13." Tomoshibi said.
"How would she know that?" Hinamori asked.
"I remembered, that she...was talking much about her dear captain. She began to talk the whole night when her captain touched her once. It would be worse when she came home smiling because she had slept with her captain."
Hinamori's eyes widened. "No way..." Hitsugaya realized it, but he didn't do anything.
"She once came back and she was cursing about some new girl who appeared in her captain's life. She hated that girl. Her captain had said to my sister that he would try to make that girl his vice captain. She was so jealous..." Tomoshibi looked down.
Hinamori couldn't believe what was happening. It was actually her fault?
Tomoshibi looked up. "But! Hinamori-fukutaichou, don't think it's your fault, because it's not!"
Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori who was now looking at the ground. Hinamori looked at Tomoshibi and smiled. "I know."
Tomoshibi smiled a little. Then she proceeded with her story. "Then it happened, I needed to do special missions with her. I was the bait and she was determined to impress her captain. I was dragged along with her stupid missions. Killing you two, was one of those crappy missions..."
"Please forgive me." Tomoshibi bowed again.
"One more question." Hitsugaya asked.
"What is it?" Tomoshibi raised her head.
"Why did you send dreams to us?" Hitsugaya asked.
"I didn't." Tomoshibi said. "I guess they just appeared when you met me."
"You knew us all along. Why didn't you say anything about your friendship with us?" Hinamori asked.
"It would look stupid." Tomoshibi looked the other way. "I didn't want to appear so pathetic. I didn't need to say it. I was happy without saying who I was. I wanted to let the past behind me."
"Off course you wouldn't look stupid. Yumi-chan" Tomoshibi's eyes widened by Hinamori's comment. Hinamori embraced her. "You wouldn't mind if I still call you Tomoshibi-chan right?" Hinamori asked.
Tomoshibi was moved by Hinamori's reaction. Tears were falling from her eyes. "Off course not. You can call me whatever you want." She closed her eyes.
Hitsugaya looked the other way. This was a too cheesy moment anyway.
Tomoshibi opened her eyes and let go of the hug. She looked around. "Oh no, is it that late again? Kokuei said he was going to give me something afterwards!" She looked around again. "But...where do I find him?"
Hitsugaya and Hinamori looked at each other and they chuckled both. "So, you like Hinotama right?" Hinamori asked.
Tomoshibi blushed a little. "No! I mean, he's handsome but..."
"I knew it!" A voice appeared behind Tomoshibi. Tomoshibi turned around and saw Hinotama standing there. She blushed furiously. "Kokuei! It is not what you think!"
Hinotama smirked. He walked towards Tomoshibi. "I don't care what I think Hoshiyumi, but I know what I care the most when it comes to thinking..." Hinotama stopped and he was now standing before Tomoshibi. He lifted her face and gave her a small kiss on her lips. Tomoshibi's big eyes looked at Hinotama who was staring in her eyes at the moment. "I like to think about you." He said casually.
Hinamori and Hitsugaya were surprised by the moments they just observed. They looked at each other and they slowly began to blush.
Hinotama looked at the two staring at each other and he smiled. He turned to Tomoshibi who was still shocked by the things that just happened. He picked Tomoshibi up and carried her in the bridal style. Tomoshibi blushed again. "Kokuei! What are you doing?!" Hinotama didn't say anything, but he just winked once to Tomoshibi. He turned to Hitsugaya and Hinamori. He made a quick bow and smiled. "I'll take my leave." Then he walked away with Tomoshibi in his arms, leaving Hitsugaya and Hinamori alone.
Hitsugaya and Hinamori looked at each other. Then they heard people whistling and screaming. Tomoshibi and Hinotama's scene probably woke everybody up and the fifth division's people were hoping to see two romantic scenes in one night.
Hinamori sweat dropped. "So...do you want to come to my room? I mean I still want to talk to you, but we can't here." She asked.
"Sure." Hitsugaya said.
--
"Kokuei! Put me down! What was that all about?!" Tomoshibi shouted.
Hinotama was still carrying Tomoshibi in his arms. He smiled to Tomoshibi. "What's wrong Hoshiyumi? Are you being shy?" He chuckled.
Tomoshibi blushed. "O-off course not! I'm just not used being carried around. Besides, what was that kiss for?!" She shouted.
Hinotama winked. "Another idea from my dating group. Did you see the two blushing?"
Tomoshibi got what Hinotama was planning. "Mou! Kokuei, you never stop do you?"
Hinotama chuckled.
"When are you planning to stop carrying me, Kokuei?" Tomoshibi asked.
"Never..."Hinotama smiled at Tomoshibi. "I'm going to escort you back to your room. Hoshiyumi."
--
In Hinamori's room.
"So what did you want to talk about, Hinamori?" Hitsugaya asked.
"It was nice, wasn't it?" Hinamori smiled.
Hitsugaya didn't get what Hinamori was talking about. "What was nice, Hinamori?" He asked.
"The relationship between Tomoshibi-chan and Hinotama-san." Hinamori said happily.
"I guess..." Hitsugaya looked the other way. Then he realized something. "Wait. You knew that Hinotama liked Tomoshibi?"
Hinamori nodded. "Yeah. He told me once."
"But too bad Tomoshibi doesn't like Hinotama..." Hitsugaya wandered. In his mind he made a mental note: Punch Hinotama in the face next time, because he still was bothering Hinamori.
"That's not true, Hitsugaya-kun." Hinamori said. She looked through the window at the moon.
Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori. "Why?" He asked.
Hinamori turned to Hitsugaya. Smiling. "Didn't you see that Tomoshibi-chan was blushing just now when we asked about Hinotama-san?" She winked.
Hitsugaya realized it, but he didn't like to reply on that one. Why would he be concerned about love?
"It was my fault after all..."
Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori. "What did you just say?" Hitsugaya's eyes widened. Hinamori was crying.
Hinamori sat on her bed with her hands covering her eyes. "It was because of me everybody suffered. Tomoshibi-chan, Hinotama-san, Rangiku-san and eventually you..."
"Don't say that."
"But!" Hinamori shouted to Hitsugaya.
"It's not your fault! Hinamori! Stop blaming yourself! It's not even your fault!" Hitsugaya shouted back. He lowered his voice. "It was Tomoshibi's sister's fault. Jealousy isn't caused by the other woman. It's always caused by you." Hitsugaya sat next to Hinamori. Hinamori looked into his eyes with her wet eyes. Hitsugaya pulled Hinamori into a hug.
Hinamori's eyes widened. "Hitsugaya-ku-"
"Stop worrying about everyone. Hinamori." Hitsugaya said concerned. "It'll kill you someday..."
"Hitsugaya-kun..."
"Hinamori, I…" Before he could finish his sentence he realized what he was doing, which caused that he stopped with talking. He let Hinamori go and got up with his eyes widened. "What was I going to say?!"
Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya. I mean she was surprised as hell off course. "What's wrong, Hitsugaya-kun?"
Hitsugaya diverted his face from Hinamori. "I should be going. I have too much work tomorrow." He took a few steps.
Hinamori grabbed onto Hitsugaya's cloak. "Wait Hitsugaya-kun. I think I know what you wanted to say."
Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori surprised. "Wha-?" He saw Hinamori giving him a warm smile.
"Don't be afraid to say it." Hinamori stopped and gave Hitsugaya a smile again. She then opened her mouth again and wanted to say something, but Hitsugaya pulled his cloak back and he diverted his face again. "I'll take my leave." He said quietly and this time he really left.
Hinamori stared at the door which was closed by Hitsugaya. She was thinking about the relationship with Hitsugaya. "What are we supposed to do…?"
Then she heard something slipping under her door. She got up and walked to the door to pick up some book. She looked at it awkwardly and she went to sit on her bed. She opened the book and was surprised by what she saw. It was the diary what Hitsugaya kept in his Rukongai days. (Oh man. People are going to scold me for making Hitsugaya having a diary XD) She looked around. "Is it really alright for me to read this?" She still stared at the book. "Wouldn't it be disturbing his privacy?"
Then, all of a sudden, the window flew open, letting the wind inside. The pages of the diary paged over. Hinamori got up quickly and closed the window. She realized something when she looked at the diary.
Rukongai, June 4, 980.
Hmph. I still keep wondering why I write in this piece of crap every time when something happens. I guess Bed wetter Momo going to Shinigami school has making me lonely. Damn her. Anyhow, she came back today from the school. Again. Yesterday was her birthday, but I didn't have a present for her. Sigh… I could see the disappointment from her face. Baka. If you know I won't be having a present for you, don't come back, you idiot… Well off course I'm happy when she comes back but still…I don't know but every time when I see her, I don't know how to act in front of her. Then again…I have always been like this. I need to show that I'm not missing her. Baka. Who will even miss her? Sigh… maybe I should go to the Shinigami school too…However, I did say that I don't want to go there…Anyway, something has happened today again. She talked about that stupid Aizen again. How many times do I have to tell her that I don't want to know that stupid person? I did realize something strange about her. She has been avoiding Ayumi. I wonder what is going on.
Hinamori gasped when she read the page. It looked as if the diary was pushing her to read more. She decided to turn another page.
Rukongai, March 21, 981
Damn! What is the use of her to go to Shinigami school?! She keeps saying she is being harassed by some upperclassman. Just stop being a Shinigami already if you can't protect yourself! What is she trying to do? And that time about she almost being killed by Hollows…That does it. If she ever, ever say a word about she getting hurt, I'll go to that stupid school and smack those guys to hell. Wait. It doesn't make any sense. I maybe can protect her once, but I can't, when she is forever gone to Seireitei… I really have to enroll to that school. To protect her forever.
It really moved Hinamori. Not even once…he had never stopped carrying about her. Not even once. "That's why he became a captain, but why did it look like as if he didn't know her when he became a captain? Always looking for Rangiku-san instead of me…"
She looked at the diary. "Should I stop reading it?" She closed her eyes. "So damn tired…" She opened her eyes and decided not to read it for now. Time to sleep…
--
Hitsugaya arrived in his room. He put his hand on his head. "What was I going to say? Was I going to confess?" A sentence slipped into his mind.
"Hitsugaya-kun…Aishiteru."
His eyes widened. It was so familiar. Where did he hear it?"Did Hinamori really said that? Was it because of that sentence that I wanted to confess?" he took his captain's cloak off and laid it on his chair. Suddenly something fell on the ground. He picked it up and realized it was Hinamori's cloth.
"No Hitsugaya-kun. It is someone who is more important than Aizen-taichou."
His eyes widened again. "Who is it?" He thought deeply. He felt on the cloth. Aquamarine and emerald. He closed his eyes.
"It's you. Baka."
His eyes flung open. He looked around. "Who said that?" He decided to ignore it and he realized it. The x-mass event. The first time that he made something with his hands. It was him…all along. "So it was true…I shouldn't hesitate anymore…but why do I still have a feeling she'll reject me?" Hitsugaya walked to his bed and lay down. "Calm down. Just calm down and get a good sleep." Hitsugaya closed his eyes…
--
Above Tomoshibi's room (on the roof).
Tomoshibi shunpo-ed to the roof where she met Hinotama. "Kokuei how did it go at your place?" Tomoshibi asked.
Hinotama scratched behind his ear. "Well, he could be the notorious genius when he wants…" Tomoshibi stared at him. It made him feel uneasy. "Alright, alright. I just had to say that it was him all along and that was it. Well how was yours?"
Tomoshibi looked up. "Well, there wasn't very much to do about it. I also only had to shove the diary under Hinamori-fukutaichou's door…"
Hinotama raised his hand. "Wait. What diary?" he asked.
Tomoshibi blinked. "Hitsugaya-taichou's diary in Rukongai da-" Hinotama cut Tomoshibi off.
"Wow…wow…wait. You said…he had a diary? And it was in your possession?" Hinotama asked.
Tomoshibi nodded.
"Hoshiyumi! Why didn't you let me read it before you gave it away?!" Hinotama yelled.
"Shhht. Not that loud. Besides what is wrong with you? Why do you want to read my captain's diary?" Tomoshibi asked. Tomoshibi recoiled when she saw Hinotama's fire.
"He was a hell of a pain in the ass! I could've blackmailed him or..." Hinotama's fire waved away when someone came on the roof too. It was Matsumoto.
"Ah that's what you guys have been up to." Matsumoto smirked. "You guys are the Sakuras of love."
The two recoiled. Matsumoto walked along them. "Well, well, no wonder you two get along that well." Matsumoto grinned.
Hinotama smiled. "So you want to join too?"
Matsumoto smiled. "I'd rather die than to join your stupid things." She said sarcastically. "No offence, Tomoshibi-chan." She winked. "I know what your reasons are."
Tomoshibi blushed and turned her face away annoyed. "So…are you going to tell everybody about this?" Tomoshibi asked hesitating.
Matsumoto smiled. "Off course not." She walked to Tomoshibi and whispered something in her ear. "I won't be standing at the side line doing nothing." She laid her hand on Tomoshibi's shoulder for a moment and then she walked away. Tomoshibi stared with wide eyes at Hinotama. Off course that would make Hinotama curious.
"Hoshiyumi, what's wrong?" Hinotama asked concerned.
"We're going to have rivals. Kokuei."
