Chapter One
"Hinamori, please wake up! I miss you so much! Please! Do it for your Shiro-chan!" Hitsugaya Toshiro said rather loudly towards his best friend, Hinamori Momo. She didn't reply.
"Hinamori!" Toshiro called out her name another time. Momo remained silent.
"Of course, who am I kidding? She can't speak." Toshiro spoke again, once again to no one in particular.
No one's listening anyway… No one, but these walls that have grown so familiar to me in the past few weeks…
Rangiku stood at the door, watching her captain. She had her arms folded across her chest and she leaned against the wooden frame of the half-opened door. She stood for a while, feeling for her captain, before she remembered what she was here for. She was going to excuse herself for the night to go to Renji's sake party. But after seeing the present scenario, she couldn't bring herself to do something so heartless.
"Hitsugaya Taichou," she pretended to be out of breath, so her captain wouldn't know she had been watching him, "I…I can do the paperwork tonight. You need a rest," she offered kindly.
"It's okay, go to your sake party, Matsumoto. I'll take care of the paperwork." Toshiro knew Renji was having a sake party. In fact, he had been invited a few days ago, l but he turned down the offer. He just wanted to be along tonight. No, it wasn't just tonight, it was more like…more like these days.
"No Taichou, I'm not going to let you do anymore paperwork! You seriously need a break!" Matsumoto angrily shouted, pissed off at how stubborn he was.
"Matsumoto, just go on and have fun. That's an order." He was too sad to be angry at anyone, even his annoying vice-captain. Matsumoto was surprised at his reply. Hitsugaya Taichou never told anyone to go on and "have fun", especially not her! But then again, this wasn't the old Hitsugaya Taichou she once knew and loved to annoy. This was weak-hearted, sad, depressed little boy, Toshiro. Part of her wanted to shake him and beat the shit out of him for being like that. But a bigger part of her was worried sick about him. He was, after all, just a kid. Toshiro sat on a chair by Mom's bedside, back turned to Rangiku, so he didn't catch the serious expression on her face. She turned away and walked down the hall, sighing.
She didn't go to Renji's sake party, she went back to her and Toshiro's division. When she got there, she hesitated a bit before sitting down at the desk and getting started on paperwork.
A few hours later, the silver haired captain walked in the door. His sad and tired eyes were upon his sleeping vice-captain.
"Arigato, Rangiku…" he said before disappearing to his room.
The sun was just rising when—
"Hitsugaya Taichou!" A boy from fourth division suddenly burtsed into the room.
Rangiku awoken at the loud shout. "He's in his room…I think…" She told the sleepily, and then relocated herself to the couch.
"Arigato!"the boy nodded/bowed his head quickly before taking off at the same pace he came in, a hurry.
"Hitsugaya Taichou! Hitsuaya Taichou!" the boy banged on the door.
"What is it?" Toshiro yelled from inside his room. "I've just finished my shower!"
"It's important! It's concerning Hinamori!" hearing his, Toshiro's eyes widened.
