Yay, first official fanfiction on here~! :)
So, this is Frosted Secrets. 'twas my first fanfiction eva. So while it's obviously still in my style of writing, it's not the best fanfiction I've ever written. I'll upload the others soon, I promise~!
Um, since this is my first fanfiction uploaded on here, please take pity on me if I mess it up somehow. ^_^' I'll try my hardest~!
Okay, enough chit-chat. I'mma run off to bed since it's so late here, and you can hopefully read this~! (wow, I really abuse that poor squiggly...)
Enjoy!
"No, Momo! Don't you dare die on me!"
Captain of the 10th Division, Toshiro Hitsugaya pressed furiously on the stomach of a young girl. Her black hair was strewn over her face, which was coated with blood. Her dark eyes showed no recognition of the boy bending over her, and her mouth hung open in a silent scream, blood streaming from the corners. Had there been any strength left in her broken body, one could have seen the desperation that filled her fuzzy brain, for she was dying. Clothes lying in shreds, the gaping wounds were painfully visible on her pale flesh.
Captain Hitsugaya peered into her face and search for some sign of life as her breathing grew fainter and fainter.
"You can't die on me, Hinamori," he growled. "I won't let you!" Yet even as he spoke the words, the last trace of life faded as she breathed her last, and her eyes closed forever.

Toshiro jerked out of bed, sweat rolling down his face. After looking wildly around the room, he forced his pounding heart to relax.
"Just a dream," he sighed before collapsing back again. He closed his bright turquoise eyes and went back over the dream. He could only recall fighting something, maybe someONE, and Momo dying, killed by that someone.
"Could it be...a warning?" he wondered aloud. "No, that's idiotic. I'm probably just still concerned about Momo from when Aizen tried to kill her." But still, he wasn't fully convinced. He wasn't given any more time for speculation however, as Rangiku burst into the room, uncharacteristically energetic for this early. The tall, orange-haired lieutenant was normally still asleep with a hangover at this time.
"Good morning, Captain!" she greeted, gathering Toshiro up into a hug and squeezing him tight.
"Rangiku-" Toshiro muttered, his voice muffled since his face was smooshed up against her rather large breasts. "Let go!"
"Aw, you're no fun," Rangiku said, pouting. She obliged, setting down her captain. He kept his eyes closed in an attempt to keep from losing his temper with her.
"Why-?" he began before being interrupted by a certain red-haired someone.
"Oy, Rangiku! You coming?" asked Renji, coming through the door and leaning against the wall. "We gotta see Head Captain Yamamoto, and I need to check back in with Captain Kuchiki. He'll have my neck if I'm late," he continued, flinching slightly at the thought.
"Right, coming!" Rangiku replied. She started toward the door, but Toshiro stopped her.
"What's going on?" he asked, suspicious. Renji jumped slightly and straightened up.
"Oh, good morning, Captain Hitsugaya! I didn't see you there!" he said, grinning awkwardly.
"You didn't see me? This is my room," Toshiro glared. He looked back and forth from Rangiku to Renji, who both had very fake-looking smiles plastered on their faces. "Explain. Now."
Rangiku and Renji exchanged glances. "Nothing's wrong! It's just such a beautiful day!" Rangiku assured him. She forced him outside and down the hall.
Toshiro cleared his throat. "Rangiku, do you mind if I change first?" he asked sarcastically, looking down.
"Of course! You go right ahead!" she said, pushing him back into the room with a final wave.
Toshiro blinked, and then changed into his captain's uniform before hurrying out.
Wonder what that was about? he thought as he ran to catch up with the two lieutenants. They were both far too peppy. They're not very good at acting, whatever they're hiding.
He found them talking in hushed voices. They pulled apart uncomfortably when he approached.
"So Captain, are you ready?" Rangiku asked.
Toshiro stared at her. "Ready for what?"
"Here!" Renji started tossing watermelons at the captain, who caught them. Soon his arms were full of the green fruit.
"Watermelon?" Toshiro asked, puzzled. He looked at Rangiku and Renji. "Care to explain?"
Rangiku smiled at him. "We just heard about how much you like watermelon! Can't a lieutenant do something nice for her captain once in a while?" she asked plaintively.
"You've never done anything before. And while it's true that I do like watermelon, I prefer you keep these," he said, dumping the fruit at Renji's feet with a glare. "And who told you I like watermelons in the first place? Was it Momo?"
Toshiro's keen eyes didn't miss the brief flash of panic on their faces.
"Where is she, anyway? I haven't seen her around this morning," he said carefully.
Rangiku was the first to answer. "Oh, well, she's off on a mission, of course!" she said hurriedly.
"A mission? Where to?" he pressed further.
"There was a hollow sighting somewhere nearby," Renji replied. "She was sent off to deal with it. I'm sure she'll be back before long." Toshiro's brows knitted together in suspicion, but he allowed Renji's answer to go unquestioned.

Later that day...
Hinamori still hadn't returned, and Captain Hitsugaya was growing more agitated by the minute. He paced back and forth, his mind racing. The whole Soul Society had been treating him oddly all day, and everyone gave the same answer Rangiku had given him; She's on a mission, of course. Where else would she be? She'll be back soon. No one had allowed him to get any work done at all today. He couldn't so much as go for a walk without someone practically attacking him with rainbows...and watermelon. He assumed they had probably meant to put him in a good mood (not to mention hide something), but they had just ended up making him angrier than before.
"Where is she?" he wondered. "They said she'd be back hours ago! Where could she be?" He kneaded his temples in frustration. "It's probably just that my dream spooked me. I'm sure she's on her way right now." Then he sighed, opening his eyes. "And I say Rangiku and Renji are bad at lying. I can't even convince myself."
Upon hearing footsteps, he opened one eye. "Speak of the devil," he muttered. "Are you two following me?" he asked, glaring.
"Of course not, Captain!" Rangiku replied. Renji cut her off before she could say any more.
"We've received word of another hollow nearby," he told Toshiro.
"Then why do you look concerned? Can't you two take care of a simple hollow yourselves?" Toshiro inquired. Renji shook his head.
"This one's a menos," he said. "And even though we could probably beat it, it would do you a bit of good to get out for awhile. You know, let off some steam." He ignored the indignant fury on Toshiro's face, adding, "It's already been decided. Anyway, Momo will come back whether you're here or not, you know."
Toshiro lowered his eyes, and then started out the door. He paused, but, unable to get his thoughts together to a coherent sentence, he continued on his way.
"Come on then!" he yelled over his shoulder. "Let's go!"
The two lieutenants looked at him for a moment, sadness plain for anyone to see. Beneath the sadness was an underlying emotion of pity...but pity for what? There was a secret that they were hiding, and Hinamori seemed to be in the center of it.
Did you like it? I hope so! Whether you did or didn't, leave me a review, letting me know how I did. 3
Oh, and obviously, I'm the same anikiani as the one on deviantART. The same anime obsessed, often more serious than I necessarily sound (meaning I'm only so hyper right now thanks to soda), anime-loving freak. :) So if you happen to know me, message me, 'cause I'm kinda lonely and lost here. T_T
Frosted Secrets is 4 chapters long. I'll upload them Friday night for the next few weeks. I'll try to upload the first chapter of my 07-Ghost fanfiction tomorrow. It depends on how much time I have, since it was just written and isn't typed yet.
HitsuHina is my second favorite pairing in Bleach, my favorite being IchiRuki. There are a lot of Bleach pairings I like though, trust me. ^_^
Well, um, I think that's it. I hope you like my first chapter!
