Chapter 1 Project A.L.I.C.E
"Loosen your hold, feet apart, relax your muscles." Caption Ukitake chanted trying to hold back a cough.
"Hai" Hinamori panted.
Relaxing her muscles she put both hands on the hilt focusing on mixing her spiritual energy into tobiume. Letting out a breath she opened her chocolate brown eyes shouting "Bankai"
Wind swirled around her and bells started to appear
"BOOM"
The bells stared to explode giving Momo a face full of smoke
"Hinamori-san, Hinamori-San" Ukitake flash steps over to Momo
"Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine just a little startled"
Ukitake extended his hand to her which she accepted. "Hinamori, your hand it's-, "but before he could finish his sentence Sentaro and Kiyone came running in to the private training ground.
"Captain are you all right" they shouted at the same time.
"I heard an explosion and came right away" Sentaro shouted unnecessarily
"But I got here first Captain" Kiyone said shoving Sentaro out of the way.
Sentaro: "Yeah right I got here way before you did"
Kiyone: "Baka, no way u got here you're so slow"
Sentaro: "Me, slow. . . "
"ughh" Letting out a deep sigh Ukitake turned to Momo "sorry about them they tend to. . . exaggerate."
Looking at the two fighting Momo let out a giggle "It's alright"
"Cock sucker look who's talking. . . Hinamori-chan your arms bleeding" Kiyone stepping on the taller man's foot she went over to examine the wound. There was a gash from her palm all the way to her elbow.
"We need to take you to the 4th division."
"No no I've spent enough time at the 4th division. Besides I'm fine, see" waving her hands in the air to emphasize the point.
"Well we can't force you to go but I insist that you let Kiyone take a look at it" Ukitake suggested.
"No really I'm fine. . ." Before she could finish Kiyone was dragging her back to the 13th division mane bellding.
"Nonsense Hinamori-san I'll have you all wrapped up in no time."
Momo couldn't help but smile at the small blonde "Arigato Kiyone-san."
"It's nice to see Hinamori so active especially after all she's been through" Sentaro stated turning to his captain.
"Yes it's nice to see her putting her all in her division and training" suddenly a violent act of coughs came from the white haired captain.
"Captain we need to get you inside" grabbing Ukitake's arm and putting it around his soldiers.
"Arigato"
10th Division Captain Office
"M-A-T-S-U-M-O-T-O , GET YOUR LAZY ASS OFF MY COUCH" Toshiro yelled from his desk.
"C-A-P-T-A-I-N why you being so loud so early in the morning" she whined from the couch.
"Morning? It's 5 in the fucking afternoon!" He was beyond pissed.
Peaking over the couch she laid her hand on the arm rest. "You know if you keep yelling like that Momo will never love you."
"What the hell does Hinamori got to do with this?"
"I got to do with what" chirped Momo from the door with a stack of papers.
"Momo-can" Rangiku literally jump over the couch and gave Hinamori a great big bear hug.
"It's nice to see you too Ran-chan."
"Get back to work Matsumoto" Toshiro was back to his bored expression signing some papers.
"Momo, Captain is bulling me again. Please talk to him I got a date with an important friend" she whispered to the shorter brunet.
"What makes you think he well listen to anything I say and who's this friend" Momo whispered back.
"One, because you are special and two, Sake is waiting got to run" Rangiku flash steps out off the room
"Rangiku" Momo shouted out to her but was too late.
"What business do you have here?" Looking back at Hitsugaya she walked up to his desk.
" I need you to sign these Shiro-chan."
"Its Hitsugaya tacho to you" he said still not looking at her. Brushing the comment to the side she put the paper on the desk. When Toshiro grabbed her arm with a little too much force than he intended to, she flinched from the pain but he did not let go.
"What happened to your arm." He looked at her for the first time since she got there. Torquoise eyes met brown ones. He had his usual bored expression but she could see the concern in his eyes.
"I-It's nothing" she looked away. His griped tighten which made her yelp in pain.
"Sorry"He said ever so softly but she heard it. He loosened his grip and got up from his seat. He was now at least 2 or 3 inches taller than her. He grabbed her chin and made her face him.
"What happened?" he demanded. Momo knew he would not accept anything but the truth.
"I was training and lost focus that's all" He stared at her for a good minute before asking.
"Are you sure you're ok?" bringing her hand to his cold yet soft lips he gave it a small peck. His gaze never left hers.
" I-I'm f-fine" she stuttered taking her hand away.
"I got to go I have⦠I have a thing at a place I got to go bye, Hitsugaya" and Momo ran out the door.
In the Captain Commanders office
"Yamamoto Genryuusai, Captain Commander of the 13th court guard squad." A figure under a red cloak stood in front of the commander.
"I don't believe you knocked" the Commander lifted his head while opening his eyes
"My apologies but I have a message for you" the figure reached into his cloak and took out a letter. He laid it in front of the commander. On the letter was a seal that read royal family. He got up and walk to the window.
"How is project A.L.I.C.E." the figure asked from behind.
"Still unopened." There was a gust of wind from behind him and the figure was gone. Walking back to his desk he picked up the letter
"What or who are you A.L.C.I.E"
