Blessed from the Heavens ALT

Epilogue

One full month have passed by since Hinamori Momo has started living within the Hitsugaya household with her new grandmother, Obaa-san and of course, her little brother and boyfriend, Hitsugaya Toshiro. The seventeen year old peach girl found adjusting to her new life to be quite comfortable and easy.

It is now the hot summer month of August and there's only two weeks left of summer vacation before school starts again. Even though it would be his final year in Seireitei High, it will be the most interesting because his girlfriend is going to be there with him. "Ohayo Shiro-chan! It's time to wake up!" Hinamori called out.

Hitsugaya groaned and cracked an eye open, seeing the happy girl lying down on her side, facing him. He closed his eye and turned his body to face the other direction. "Go away Momo..."

However, the peach girl wouldn't allow her boyfriend to sleep in. Without warning, she wrapped her arms around the younger teenager and pull him against her chest. "But Toshiro," she pouted, "you promised that you would go on a date with me today! A day where the only thing matters is you and I being together!"

The white haired prodigy did remember that promise he made the other day. Just as he was about to get up from bed, an idea suddenly came into mind. Hitsugaya changed his mind and remained lying in bed. "I won't get up until you give me what I want."

Momo raised an eyebrow and then sat up from bed, pondering what her little Shiro-chan wants in this bright and sunny morning. Noticing the grin in the corner of his face, Hinamori smiled back. She placed her hand on the younger boy's shoulder and rolled him over so that Hitsugaya is on his back. The peach girl leaned over close to his face, smiled, and pressed her lips against his.

Hitsugaya placed a hand on her lower back and nudged her to lean closer. Momo complied to his request and did as she was told. Her lover then wrapped a leg over the back of both her thighs, locking the older teenager in place and continuing their make out session. Once they ran out of oxygen, the two lovers broke apart and smiled at one another with content. "Is this what you wanted?" Momo asked.

"Yes it is," Toshiro replied. "Thank you for the morning kiss."

As the two teenagers both sat up from bed, the peach girl said, "You're always so demanding."

"It's not like you're complaining."

Momo giggled. "I guess you're right about that one."

The lovers got out of bed and began to do some morning stretches. After doing that for a few minutes, Momo quickly headed over to the bedroom door. Just as she opened it, the girl glanced back at her boyfriend and said, "I'm going to shower now."

"Alright then," Hitsugaya replied as he is doing some half waist rotations from side to side.

Little did he know, the older girl is grinning at him. "You can join me if you want."

Immediately, the young prodigy stopped his stretching and then looked back at the amused Hinamori. "M-Momo!" Hitsugaya exclaimed, all red faced.

She placed a hand over her mouth and giggled. "I'm only teasing you Toshiro," Momo said. "I'll see you downstairs!"

The peach girl then left the bedroom, leaving the still red faced Hitsugaya behind.

"Ohayo Obaa-san!" Momo greeted to the elder as she entered the kitchen. The peach girl is dressed in a fresh looking outfit: a long light blue dress that is the length up to her knees and has dark blue flowery patterns on the bottom. On top of it is a purple short sleeve jacket. Finally, her hair is half tied up together into a small bun with her peach hairpins.

After the grandmother finished placing the breakfast dishes onto the dining table, Obaa-san turned to the raven haired girl and smiled. "Good morning Momo. Where is Toshiro?"

Hinamori walked over and pulled out a chair to sit. "He's taking a shower right now. He'll be downstairs within a few minutes."

Momo placed her hands together and said, "Itadakimatsu!"

Picking up her chopsticks from the table, she began eating breakfast. "Umai! It tastes good!"

Obaa-san smiled. "Arigato for taking care of Toshiro."

The peach girl stopped and looked at the elder. "Iie, it's the least I could do. Besides, I wouldn't be living here in such a cozy place if you didn't allow me to stay," Momo replied. "Also, I already consider him like a little brother to me."

"Yes," she answered, despite knowing that the two siblings are actually going out with one another. However, it doesn't bother her in any way. Besides, they're not blood related. "Do you and Toshiro have any plans for today?"

Momo nodded with agreement. "Yeah, we have plans. Later in the day, we're going out for lunch and then go canoeing at the lake. After that, we're going to take a long stroll through the park."

"I hope you enjoy yourselves."

"Hai! I'm sure we will!"

"Ohayo," Hitsugaya greeted as he entered the kitchen. The young white haired boy is dressed in a casual outfit: a black long sleeved shirt and a navy jacket on top. He also wore a pair of dark blue pants held up by his blue silver belt and a hooked light steel chain on the right side.

"Good morning Toshiro," the elderly grandmother greeted back, watching the boy sit down in his seat and placing his hands together.

"Itadakimatsu."

After eating breakfast in silence, Hitsugaya and Hinamori cleaned up their plates and put them into the kitchen sink. The young prodigy began washing the dishes as Momo is cleaning the wet plates. She suddenly asked, "So, when exactly are we leaving?"

"You're quite excited," Toshiro said as he passed her a clean plate he just washed.

As she is drying it with a dry cloth, she replied, "Of course! This is going to be my first time canoeing! But...don't you have to pay to rent out a canoe?"

"Momo, if I said we're going canoeing, we're going canoeing. Don't worry about the expenses; I have already dealt with it."

"Where did you get all that mon--" she noticed the grin on his face. "Oh, you used the expenses your mother owned."

Hitsugaya nodded. "Correct. It's not like she's going to get any poorer anytime soon."

She giggled. "You're quite evil Toshiro."

The white haired boy leaned over to the peach girl and smiled. "I know."

With that said, he gave her a kiss.

"Itterashai!" Momo said before she and Toshiro closed the front door behind them. The two lovers began to walk out of the Hitsugaya residence and head over to their first destination together with their hands intertwined with one another.

"And there she goes on a date with her boyfriend," Hisagi said. Momo's friends, the four guardian partners from the heavenly afterlife are looming down from the skies, watching the peach girl having a great time living her second life.

"They look good together," Rukia commented.

"I agree as well," Kira replied. "Look at how happy the both of them are."

All of a sudden, Momo stopped and looked up into the partly cloudy sky behind her. Toshiro stopped as well and asked, "What's wrong?"

The peach girl let out a small sigh and then turned her attention to her boyfriend. "It's nothing; I'm probably just imagining things."

Hitsugaya then glanced back at the spot where Hinamori was looking. A faint smile formed on his face as the two lovers continued their journey to the city of Seireitei. "Maybe...your friends from the heavenly afterlife are watching over you."

She blinked a few times and then smiled. "Maybe they are watching, who knows."

"It's just too bad Hinamori-kun can't see us anymore," Kira said.

"Oi Renji, why are you even hiding your presence? You know she can't see us," Rukia asked, staring at the red headed guardian who is hiding behind her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Renji replied, coming out of his hiding spot to stand side by side with the rest of the guardian partners.

"Baka..."

"Uruse Rukia!"

"Well, we have to get going now," Hisagi said. "We need to meet up with the other captains and receive their reports. Yamamoto-soitaicho is expecting all of them to be handed in by the end of today."

Renji scratched the back of his head. "Oh alright then, let's get going. I have to travel to the other side of the globe just to receive Kuchiki-taicho's report. How tiring..."

"Hn, sucks to be you."

"Tell me about it."

"I need to look for Ukitake-taicho," Rukia said.

"Eh, you're going back to the heavenly afterlife? What do you need him for?"

"I need to send in my report to him."

"What report?"

All of a sudden, Rukia held up an illustrated report containing what seem to be bunny drawings. "This report! Do you like it?"

"Er...yeah," Renji replied as he is trying to hold back from turning his head to the side. "Kuchiki-taicho and Rukia really are brother and sister in-law."

Kira and Hisagi hesitantly nodded with agreement. The short black haired girl smiled with delight. "I'm glad you do."

"Alright then, see you guys later," Hisagi said.

"Ja ne minna-san," Kira added.

"Later," Renji said.

"Bye bye!" Rukia cheerfully replied.

After waving each other a sign of farewell, the four guardians each held a hand out and snapped their fingers together. A few seconds later, disappeared into thin air.

"That would be 20 000 yen please," the retailing clerk said. Matsumoto Rangiku is in a clothing store in the city of Seireitei, purchasing a bunch of clothes that happens to be on sale. (A/N: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention; 20 000 yen is roughly about 237 dollars Canadian/US. O.o Geez, that's a lot of money.)

Just as she was about to take a few bills out of her wallet, the strawberry orange haired woman noticed her friend Hitsugaya passing by. She is about to get his attention by calling out to him, but she noticed he wasn't alone. Hitsugaya is hanging out with a girl and it appears they are enjoying themselves. "E-Excuse me, it's 20 000 yen," the clerk said.

Matsumoto turned back to the older cashier and immediately passed him the money. "Keep the change," she said as quickly picked up her bags and rushed out the door.

The seventeen year old teenager began following her white haired friend and the mysterious raven haired girl. At one point, Hitsugaya turned around and looked back. "What's wrong?" Momo asked.

His eyes narrowed for a brief moment. Luckily, Matsumoto is able to anticipate that and quickly went into a thin corridor and hide her presence. He then turned back to his girlfriend. "It's nothing."

Matsumoto had her head pop out to see the two lovers continue walking. Taking her cell phone from her pants pocket, the large breasted girl pressed a few buttons and placed it up to her ear. "Hn Matsumoto, what's wrong?"

"Code red, you have to come here Kusaka and pronto!" she whispered.

"Why should I? I'm busy right now."

"Forget what you're doing and get here ASAP! I just found taicho hanging out with a girl!" Matsumoto said as she left her hiding spot and resume her investigation by continuing to slowly and cautiously follow Hitsugaya.

"So? He hangs around with you most of the time."

Matsumoto stopped and hide her presence behind another corner. "It's not just any girl you idiot; it's an innocent and cute girl."

"Just because they're together doesn't mean that Hitsugaya is dating her."

She then looked out to see the two lovers holding hands with one another. Matsumoto turned back to the phone. "They're holding hands! He's obviously dating her. Wait a minute; she's probably the same girl that Hitsugaya has a crush on!"

"Now Matsumoto, don't start jumping to conclusions," Kusaka said.

As she heard him talking, Matsumoto looked out and noticed she is falling behind. The woman left her hiding spot and began following Hitsugaya once more. When she is close enough, she immediately bent down and hid behind a large mailbox. She took one more look and noticed the two lovers stopped to buy some ice cream. "Ice cream, huh?"

"Oi Matsumoto, can you hear me?"

"Ah yes, I hear you loud and clear," Matsumoto looked out again and saw Hitsugaya grinning at the raven haired girl. Some ice cream is left on the corner of her lips. He leaned over and gave her a kiss. Matsumoto backed away and returned to the phone. "He just kissed her on the lips!"

"S-So ka?"

"Yup! Do you want me to send a photo to you?"

"Ah no, there's no need to."

"Well, don't you dare sit on your butt on the chair; go out and help me investigate this a little more!"

She heard Kusaka let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll come. Where are you right now?"

"Seireitei City. It seems like those two are heading to the park," Matsumoto said as she peeked out and watched Hitsugaya and the girl crossing the street.

"Alright then, I'll be there within a few minutes."

The strawberry orange haired woman smiled. "Arigato Kusaka!"

"Geez, if we end up getting caught, you're taking all the blame."

"Alright alright then, get here already!"

"Alright, see you later."

Matsumoto hung up the phone. After stuffing it back into her pants pocket, the teenager resumed her duties to following the young couple. "This is totally going to be fun!"

"You're right after all," Kusaka said. "It really does look like Hitsugaya is on a date with her."

The two teenagers were hiding behind a large bed of bushes, spying on Hitsugaya and the mysterious girl who are both canoeing on the lake in the center of Seireitei Park. "What do you mean by after all?" Matsumoto asked.

"Iie, it's nothing."

"Good, now let's continue watching them."

All of a sudden, they heard a rustling noise. They turned their heads to the side to see a young woman, dressed in a long beige drench coat, a gray scarf (which is used to cover her head), a pair of dark shaded sunglasses. Apparently, she is crouched behind the bushes with a camera in her hands. "What is she doing?" Kusaka asked.

"I don't know, but it looks like she's spying on someone much like us," Matsumoto concluded, "and I think she's spying on the same person as we are."

"Hitsugaya? What for?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it's time to confront her."

With a nod of agreement, the two teenagers sneaked up behind the strange woman as she is taking a few snapshots. Without warning, Kusaka grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face them. Matsumoto asked, "Okay, the jig's up; why are you taking photographs of our friend?"

"Eh, Rangiku-chan? Sojiro-kun? What are you two doing here?"

Matsumoto and Kusaka blinked a few times and looked at one another. "Sumi masen, do we know you?"

The shady woman lifted up her glasses to reveal a familiar pair of emerald-teal eyes and a happy smile. "Of course you do know me; we've met at our home."

"Eh, Naomi-san?!" Matsumoto exclaimed.

The mother Hitsugaya put up a victory sign with two fingers of her hand. "Yup, that's me!"

"W-Weren't you supposed to be in America right now filming?"

"Yeah, but I heard news from my mother that my little boy is going on a date with his girlfriend!" Naomi cheerfully replied, placing her two hands together. "I just had to come back and witness the whole thing."

"I could see that," Kusaka said.

Naomi began wiping off a tear from the corner of her eye. "I'm so proud of him; he's finally growing up to be quite the young man I wanted him to become."

"Do you know anything about taicho's girlfriend?" Matsumoto asked.

"Actually no," Naomi replied, "except for the fact those two have been living together for the past month with my mother."

"Eh, they're living together?!" Kusaka and Matsumoto exclaimed.

"Now that's one daring soccer captain," the female teenager continued. "What's the situation?"

"My mother told me that she came from the deep western part of Seireitei, attending a private school. She was living alone without any guardian to watch over her," Naomi replied. "At one point, lil'Shiro met her and the two became friends. Sometime later, the girl got kicked out of her house because she couldn't pay the rent."

"After that taicho found out and offered to move in with him," Matsumoto finished, "thus, sprouting their romantic relationship. That's so cute!"

"I know!" Naomi agreed.

"Am I the only one who is left out of the conversation?" Kusaka thought.

"Let's see what they're doing right now!" Matsumoto said.

"Hai!" Naomi replied.

Kusaka sighed with defeat and also tagged along with their spy mission. The three spies popped their heads through the bushes to see what is going on at the lake. For some reason, their target is nowhere to be found. "Eh, where did he go?" Matsumoto asked.

"If you're looking for me, I'm right here Matsumoto," said a voice.

The three heads raised and looked to the side. There stood an irritated white haired prodigy and his girlfriend. Hitsugaya had his hands crossed over his chest as he glared down the three culprits. On the other hand, Hinamori gave a hesitant laugh. "Well, what a coincidence, what brings you here taicho?" Matsumoto asked.

"Don't start lying, I know you were trying to spy on us," Hitsugaya retorted.

Matsumoto and Kusaka got out of their hiding spots and stood up in front of the ticked off prodigy. "Gomen nesai Hitsugaya," Kusaka apologized.

"Hehe, since when did you noticed?" Rangiku asked.

"I noticed you since you started following us back at the city," he replied. "Your shopping bag was sticking out whenever you try to hide."

"S-So ka?"

Hitsugaya sighed with defeat and then shot a glare at Naomi, who is trying to flee from the scene. "Okaa-san, I also know it's you under that ridiculous disguise."

Figuring there's no point in trying to deny it, Naomi removed the sunglasses, the coat, and the scarf and threw it to the side, revealing her in a new outfit: a ruby red long sleeved shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans, and brown cowgirl like boots. Placing her hands on her hips, Naomi replied happily, "Never mind the clothes I was wearing..." She walked past Toshiro and came face to face with the raven haired girl. "...tell me about your cute girlfriend here."

Hitsugaya noticed the camera on the ground; he picked it up and checked it with a press of a button. "Oi, you were taking photos of us?!"

"Hai!" Naomi replied.

"P-Photos of us?" Momo asked, turning a little bright red with embarrassment.

The genius shot a glare at his mother then pressed a particular button on the camera. After, he gave it back to her as he walked to Momo's side. "I deleted all of them."

"Eh?!" the mother exclaimed. "That's so cruel!"

"Well taicho, aren't you going to introduce her to us?" Matsumoto asked.

Momo smiled and stepped forward. Giving them a short bow, she said, "My name's Hinamori Momo. It's a pleasure to meet you all. You three must be Matsumoto-san, Kusaka-kun, and Yoshida-san. Toshiro has told me about you three."

"It's nice to meet you Hinamori," Kusaka said.

"So ka? That's great!" the strawberry orange haired teenager happily said. "By the way, you can call me Rangiku."

"Same here," Naomi agreed. "Just call me Naomi."

Momo nodded with agreement. "Ah hai, Rangiku-san, Naomi-san."

"So, I heard from Naomi-san that you're living with taicho right now," Matsumoto said.

"Yeah, we are living together."

"Does that mean you're going to be transferring to Seireitei High as well?"

"Yes, I am," Hinamori replied. "I'll be joining you in the next semester."

All of a sudden, the strawberry orange haired teenager arm hooked around the raven haired girl's neck and pulled her close. "This is so awesome! I have a feeling we're going to be great friends!"

"Just make sure you don't pick up anything from Matsumoto," Hitsugaya said.

"Now, that's mean to say taicho!" Matsumoto let go of Hinamori and pouted at the young white haired genius.

"Uruse."

All of a sudden, Naomi wrapped her arms around Momo and pulled her into a deep embrace. Rubbing her cheek against hers, Naomi cried out, "You're so kawaii! I can't believe my lil'Shiro picked up such a cute girl like you! Now I can't wait until you two grow up, get married, and have adorable little children together!"

Hitsugaya turned a few shades darker and exclaimed, "Okaa-san!"

Naomi giggled. "What? By the look of things, she really is going to become your future wife."

"I-It's too early! We've only been dating for about a month!"

Momo giggled with amusement. Her Shiro-chan's usual icy cold persona really does shatter completely when his mother is around. Suddenly, she felt a tug on her wrist. Hitsugaya grabbed her and began pulling her away from the group. "Oi, where are you going taicho?" Matsumoto called out.

"Shut up and leave us alone!" Hitsugaya exclaimed, "And you even dare continue to follow us!"

Once the two lovers left the three people behind, Matsumoto and Naomi giggled with enjoyment. "Oh well, he does need some private time," Rangiku said.

"Yep, he deserves it after all that spying we've done," Naomi agreed.

"Those two look happy," Kusaka said.

"I think they are," Matsumoto corrected, "and that's good especially for someone like him."

"Momo-chan and lil'Shiro, together forever," Naomi added. Suddenly, she placed her hands together. "Ou, I can't wait until my grandchildren comes!"

The two teenagers gave her weird looks at the oblivious mother. "I feel sorry for taicho. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up getting married after they graduated."

"H-Hai," Kusaka agreed.

By the time Hitsugaya stopped running away, the young couple sat on the bench to take a break. "Well, that was interesting," Momo said.

"Just when I thought Matsumoto is the only person I had to worry about," Toshiro replied, "I also have to worry about my mother. I swear, those two women are alike."

The peach girl giggled. "Probably they are; no wonder you know exactly how to deal with them."

Hitsugaya threw his head back against the bench back support. "I wonder about that..."

The two were silent for the next few moments until Momo leaned against his chest. Noticing her, he raised a hand and began caressing the bangs of her soft raven hair. They both smiled. "Aside from the interruptions, did you enjoy our date?" Toshiro asked.

She nodded with content. "Of course I did."

The two lovers looked at one another, mesmerized by the beauty in their eyes. Hitsugaya lowered his head and slowly placed his lips on hers. "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied. "Can we stay like this for a while?"

"Of course we can Momo."

"Thank you Toshiro."

Shirogane who have been supporting me all the way. HitsuHina cookies for you all! Yay!

Now what do I need to say...? Oh yes, for those of you who have read all three stories (Blessed from the Heavens, Blessed from the Heavens II, Blessed from the Heavens ALT) from the Blessed from the Heavens series, I want to know which out of the three fan fictions you think is your favourite. Please answer the poll on my profile page. As for comments about it, well...eh, you can leave me a PM or write it in this chapter's review. I really want to hear your opinion. Thanks!

Future works...Before you start asking is there going to be another Blessed from the Heavens story, here's my answer: from the way I ended this one, I highly doubt it. Sorry...I feel like it is complete as it is (unless I come up with a good idea to continue/make a spin-off story from it). On the other hand, I'm for sure going to continue working on completing Secrets Foretold. Other than that, I suppose I'm going to work on a few short shots until I come up with a good multi-chapter fan fiction to post. Yeah...I'm somewhat out of ideas. xD Suggestions please? Thank you.

In the meantime, please leave your final comments, suggestions, and other stuff...in a review. Thanks again for reading my story!
