Author's Note: Yes, I have decided to work on two HitsuHina fan fics (this one and After Years Apart) simultaneously. My plan is to update this story every Sunday (EST time) while the other is updated on Friday. I'll do my best to update both every week. Without any further delays, here's the prologue and chapter one to Blessed from the Heavens. Enjoy!

LEGEND

"Talking." "Thinking or Dreaming." Character Narration

It still feels like I'm living a dream; a dream I didn't want to wake up from. In that dream, I lived the happiest days of my life. We shared the most memorable moments together even though it did not felt that way before. It feels like yesterday I just met him, my heavenly guardian.

Prologue

"Hinamori, remind me again why do we have to do this?"

As she finished setting up the telescope at the edge of the veranda, Hinamori Momo turned to her red headed classmate, Abarai Renji. "Sensei wanted us to look at the stars in the night sky. If possible, identify them."

Laying back against his chair, he put his hands behind his head. "How are we supposed to do that when the lights in the whole town is mostly turned on?"

"That is why we're star gazing late at night Abarai-kun," replied their other classmate, Kira Izuru, who entered the veranda with a tray of pop drinks and chips.

"Sensei gives us the most out of this world assignments to complete and it's only the beginning of the fall semester!"

Placing the tray on the small table next to Renji, Kira took a seat right next to him. "As long as we're learning at school, we have no other choice but to do what the teacher tells us to do. Besides, it will benefit us in the long run."

"You're already thinking about the future? Come on Kira, we still have a year left until our senior year. You can think about it by then. In the meantime, enjoy our junior year."

"Well unlike your folks, my parents expect a lot from me."

"Tch, fine. Do what you want."

"Ah, sorry Hinamori-kun. We're not helping at all, aren't we?" Kira asked the raven haired girl.

She could feel her cheeks heat up. Even though she has known him since middle school, he doesn't know that she has a huge crush on him. "Mou, calm yourself Momo. Even though you like him, he only thinks of you as a friend."

"Hinamori-kun?"

"Ah no, don't worry about it," she hesitantly replied. "I don't mind you two talking about other things. Besides, it's a good way of wasting time until we can see the stars in the sky."

"Good point there."

"Let's not talk about school," Renji said.

"Alright then, what do you want to talk about?"

"I heard that Kurosaki-kun is going out with Orihime-chan," Hinamori said.

"Ah yeah, they are," Renji replied as he opened his can of pop. "Apparently, Inoue is the one who confessed to him."

"I'm quite amazed," Kira said. "She seems like the shy type, but she's able to pull it off."

"Yeah, I guess."

"I think it's amazing," Hinamori said. "It really took her a lot of courage to admit her feelings to the person she loves. I don't think I'll be able to do the same if I had mutual feelings for a boy."

"Now that's where you're wrong Hinamori," replied the red headed teenager. "If you don't say a thing to that person, he'll never find out."

"Abarai-kun, I never thought of you to be the type to know these things," Kira replied.

"Let's just say it's experience."

"With Rukia-san," Hinamori added.

"Shut up," snapped the tall teenager. "S-She's my childhood friend."

"There's no need to lie Abarai-kun," Kira said as he place a hand on his shoulder, "the whole school knows about it."

"Tch...be quiet."

As the two boys continued to bicker with one another, Hinamori began looking up in the clear night sky. She envied Renji and all the other people who are able to find their special someone. "If only Kira-kun and I could be together."

Placing her hands together, she closed her eyes and silently made a wish. "I hope to have the courage to tell the person who I love the most my feelings. Then we could be together."

"Ah look Hinamori-kun! A shooting star just passed by!" Kira exclaimed.

Opening them once more, she looked to find nothing different. "Huh, where is it?"

"You just missed it," Renji replied. "It quickly flew by as you were standing there thinking to yourself."

"Mou..."

"It's alright Hinamori-kun. There's always next time," Kira said.

"Ah yeah..."

They continued to look at the stars until it is time to pack it in for the night. Once Kira and Renji left the Hinamori residence, the sixteen year old girl is finally put to rest after she went to her bedroom, got changed, and went to bed. Fast asleep, she didn't realize the glass door quietly opened by itself, allowing a gentle breeze blowing into the room. By the time she wakes up, she will find out. She is not alone.

Blessed from the Heavens

Chapter One: Blessed from the Heavens

She is nervous; very nervous, but she has to say it. There is no other way or else he is never going to find out. She's in love with him. "Kira-kun," she said.

"Yes, Hinamori-kun?"

"I-I have something important to say."

"What is it?"

"I-I-I lov--"

"It's time to wake up," she heard.

Slowly getting herself to sit up in bed, Hinamori began rubbing the sleepiness away from her eyes with the pointer fingers on her hands. "Oba--" she said before a thought came into mind. "Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like Obaa-san. Who is talking to me?"

By the time she opened her chocolate brown eyes, Hinamori met him for the first time. Sitting on the other side of her bed and leaning his back against the side wall is a boy with snowy white hair and glowing emerald-teal eyes. He looked younger than her, about two or three years. He is dressed in a black collar T-shirt and light gray pants. Crossing his arms over his chest, he turned to her and said, "You're finally awake."

She went on all fours to take a closer look at him. "Are...you lost little boy?"

Irritated that he is addressed as such, the white haired boy ignored her comment and retorted, "No, I'm not lost."

"Well, if you're not lost, then what are you doing here and who are you?"

"Hitsugaya Toshiro. I'm your heavenly guardian."

"Heavenly guardian as in guardian angel?"

"If that's how you want to put it."

Sitting back down on her bottom, Hinamori said, "But you don't look like one."

"Hah?" he asked, turning to the curious raven haired girl.

Before he could say anything else, Hinamori already crept her way closer to him. She started poking at the pair of what seems to be wings and then finally ruffling with her hand, his white hair. She wanted to make sure he is real or not. It turns out that he is.

"Oi! What was that all about?" Hitsugaya asked as he brushed her hand away.

"Are those wings?"

"Yes they are."

"How come they are made up of frozen ice?" Hinamori asked. "Don't angels have...well, you know wings made up of feathers?"

Looking up at the white ceiling above them, the boy replied, "Tch, it's guardian. Tell that to the superiors from above. One of them pulled a prank on me and decided to freeze my wings." (A/N: LOL, poor Shiro-chan. xD)

"Mou, that's mean."

"I know."

"How long does it take to melt?"

"It doesn't, I'm stuck with it."

"That's unfortunate."

"Tell me about it."

"Ah, sumimasen. I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Hi--"

"Hinamori Momo, a sixteen year old junior from Seireitei High School," Hitsugaya stated. "Your favourite subject is philosophy and don't really have a worse subject. You are known as one of the brightest and the most innocent looking girls in the whole school. All the boys are into you and would do whatever it takes to go out on a date with you. Unfortunately for them, you're not interested in them because you're interested in your classmate and middle school friend, Kira Izuru. He is your secret crush since you first entered high school. He is also my goal to finish this mission. You want me to help bring the both of you together, am I right?"

"Sugoi, how did you know all that stuff?"

"Isn't that obvious? Guardians who are sent down from the heavens must know a few things about their client before they get a chance to meet them."

"Is that so?"

Taking a brief look at the alarm clock next to her bedside, the heavenly guardian said, "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school? You're going to be late if you keep talking to me."

Confirming the time by looking at the alarm clock as well, Hinamori exclaimed as she started scrambling around the room. "You're right! I'm going to be late for class!"

"You better hurry up," Hitsugaya said, "you have only about thirty minutes before the school bell rings."

"Mou, this is not my day!" Hinamori exclaimed as she began pulling out her school clothes from her wardrobe.

Just as she is about to change, she remembered about the heavenly guardian. Turning around, Hinamori asked, "Um, can you lea--huh?"

Somehow he is nowhere in sight.

"Where...did he go?"

She arrived to school on time and with very little time to spare. When she opened the slide door to classroom 2-1, Hinamori found her two friends and classmates, lounging around together in the back of the class. Walking towards them, she greeted, "Ohayo Kira-kun, Abarai-kun."

"Ohayo Hinamori-kun," Kira replied.

"Yo," Renji said.

"You wouldn't believe what happened to me this morning," Hinamori said as she took her seat at her desk. "When I woke up, I saw this boy with pure white hair and emerald eyes. His name is Hitsugaya Toshiro and he's a hea--"

She felt the room's temperature cooling down. A cold chill started climbing up her spine once she felt a hand is placed on her right shoulder. Hinamori is too afraid to do anything. All she heard were the words from his mouth, "You shouldn't be talking about me."

Turning her head to see the heavenly guardian at her side once more, Hinamori exclaimed, "Eh, Hitsugaya-kun! What are you doing here?"

"Hitsugaya? Who are you talking to Hinamori?" Renji asked.

Resuming her attention to her friends, Hinamori said, "Eh?"

"Baka, I'm a guardian for peat sake. Of course, your friends can't see or hear me," she heard him say as she watched the guardian leaning against the wall near Kira and Renji.

"Mou, do you always do this?"

"Do what?"

"Appear out of thin air?"

"That's what guardians do. We're spirits."

"Hinamori-chan, are you alright?" Kira asked.

"Don't tell me you still believe in imaginary friends," Renji said.

"No, I don't!" Hinamori quickly replied, trying to think of an excuse in the process. "It's just...I'm practicing. Yeah, I'm practicing my communication skills. You know, there's a presentation I have to do soon."

"That's true, we do have one sometime next week," Kira agreed.

"Anyway, I'll be right back. I just need to use the girl's washroom for a moment," Hinamori said as she quickly ran out of the classroom.

"Oi! You better come back before the teacher arrives!" Renji called out. "She's been acting pretty differently today."

"You noticed it too?" Kira asked. "Maybe something's bothering her."

"Just leave her for a while, she'll tell us when she's ready."

"Yeah..."

Making sure that there is no one else in the girl's washroom besides herself, Hinamori closed the door and locked it up. Turning around and leaning against the door, Hinamori said, "Hitsugaya-kun, are you here?"

"That's an obvious question to ask," Hitsugaya replied as he appeared sitting at the windowsill towards her.

"Mou, I don't think this communication thing is going to work. Whenever you need to talk to me, can't you do it when I'm alone? My friends will think I'm weird."

"You only want me to do that because you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of Kira, isn't it?"

"Hitsugaya-kun please don't do that. I thought you were sent from above to help me confess to Kira-kun, not to make my life worse."

"I am."

"Mou, I'm starting to wonder if you're qualified for this."

"Shut up, I didn't even get a chance to reject this mission. This stuff is not of my expertise."

"So you don't plan on helping in the first place."

Turning half of his body away from the raven haired girl, Hitsugaya replied, "That's not it. Since I'm stuck with it, I have no other choice, but to get the job done. The old man from above threatened me to do this or else I will lose my guardian privileges and ranking."

"The afterlife has those things?"

"You'll find out after you died."

"Mou..."

"The teacher's about to enter the classroom. You should get going."

"Ah yeah, I forgot," Hinamori replied as she turned around and began to unlock the door. Just as she is about to leave the room, Hinamori turned back and said, "Arigato for helping me."

"Douitashimashite."

"I'll talk to you later Shiro-chan!"

Before the white haired guardian could say another word, Hinamori already left. With a sigh of defeat, Hitsugaya recalled the last comment she made. "Tch, don't go around giving other people nicknames baka."

Opening the window, he went through and flew out into the wide outdoors.

He spent his time sitting on Seireitei High's school rooftop, thinking of a way to get Hinamori to confess to Kira. The best way is to give them some alone time together. However, there is a problem to that; her other friends. After scrolling through her and her friends' profiles and descriptions in his folder, he knew she's always surrounded by her friends. She is rarely alone. "This will take quite some time before I can complete this mission," he said. "I have three months left until I'm called back to the afterlife. By then, I have to get the job done."

"Ne, let's eat here," the heavenly guardian heard as the staircase door to the roof opened.

Looking below, he saw a group of tall teenagers walking together. Amongst them is his client, Hinamori Momo. Just as stated in their agendas in each of their profiles, they usually have lunch together on the roof. He decided to learn a little more about her and her friend and crush, Kira by watching how they interact with one another.

"So how's morning class for you?" Hinamori asked.

"It's been rather fun!" the large breasted cheery girl, Inoue replied. "Cooking class has been rather tasty!"

"That must be Inoue Orihime," Hitsugaya recalled. "According to the data, she is sixteen years old, known for having a strange appetite for the strange foods she makes and eats. A few years ago, her brother passed away due to a car accident. Since then, her close friends were her moral support especially her boyfriend who she started dating since the end of their freshmen year. She is currently living in the same house as her friend, Arisawa Tatsuki."

"Maybe for you Inoue-san," the dark blue haired glasses teenager, Ishida said. "Our sensei had to go to the nurse's office after taking a look at your food."

"Ishida Uryu, currently fifteen years old. He is the top student in his class. Not only he excels in the academic field, but also a few curricular activities as well. That all includes archery and sewing class. He is known as the loner in the group. Despite all that, his friends usually drag him along with them."

"Just what kind of topping ingredients did you put on your cake this time Inoue?" the bright orange haired teenager, Ichigo asked.

"Well, chocolate chips, strawberries, banana slices, some ketchup, mustard, and even some pickled olives!" Inoue replied.

"Eh...that sounds rather, um...tasty."

"Kurosaki Ichigo, sixteen years old," Hitsugaya stated. "He is currently the person Inoue is dating. He is also a person of good morals and beliefs. With that, he only fights to protect those he cares about. He lives with his strange doctor of a father and two sisters, Karin and Yuzu at the Kurosaki Clinic. The one next to him is Yasutora Sado or also known as Chad, sixteen. He is the silent type that likes to listen to what others had to say, but much like Kurosaki, defends the weak and vulnerable."

Turning his attention to the remaining four teenagers, he confirmed their identities. "He's pretty boy, Ayasegawa Yumichika and that's his bald headed friend and most active fighter in the school, Maradame Ikkaku. Pineapple red head is Abarai Renji and finally the sad looking person is Kira Izuru, Hinamori's secret crush."

"Shiro-chan, what are you talking about?" a voice suddenly asked.

Turning his attention to the raven haired girl who has suddenly sneaked up on him, the white haired heavenly guardian replied, "Oi, shouldn't you be with your friends right now?"

"Yeah, but I heard you talking about my friends out loud from down there," Hinamori replied. "So, I made up an excuse to leave them and came to you. So what are you talking about?"

"I'm just observing."

"Observing about what?"

"How you interact with them in the presence of your secret crush."

"Oh..."

"You don't have a lot of opportunities to be alone with him."

"Ah yeah, usually the others interrupt."

"Especially the girls."

"Well, that's because we usually have a lot of girl talks amongst ourselves."

"Your other female friend that you hang around with is Kuchiki Rukia, sixteen years old. She is Abarai Renji's childhood and one month old girlfriend. She is also Kurosaki's close and most reliable friend. Her attitude is more tomboyish compared to the other girls because of that," he explained until a sudden thought came into mind. "She's also his sister-in-law..." (A/N: Hn, I wonder who could that be. xD)

"Sugoi, how did you know so much about them?"

"Read their profiles and descriptions from this," Hitsugaya said as he held up the folder out to her. "Information from the heavens on the living beings below. It always get updated once every two or three days."

"So the people from above are really constantly watching us."

"That's how they are able to decide who goes to the heavenly afterlife or down below."

"Souka?"

"Anyway, I'm done with information gathering," he said as he stood up from his seat. Brushing the dust off the back of his pants, he soon put his hands into his pants pockets, turned to Hinamori and said, "Ask Kira to walk with you home."

"Eh why?"

"It seems he forgot to bring his telescope home after he left your place yesterday."

"Wait, don't tell me you stole it from his place?"

"Let's just say it's borrowed," he replied as he began to drift away.

"Mou, you shouldn't do such things!" she called out to him.

Turning his body back to her, Hitsugaya said, "Well, you want to be together with Kira or not?"

"I-I well..."

"Just leave it to me. I know what I'm doing."

"Ah hai..."

"Good. Now remember what I told you."

Just as the boy disappeared once more, Hinamori called out, "Yeah, but Shiro-cha--"

Before she knew it, Hinamori froze stiff as the guardian reappeared in front of her, staring her down with his icy glare. "Oh yes, one more thing," Hitsugaya warned. "Don't call me that. It's Hitsugaya."

With a short nod to show she understood, he walked past her. By the time she turned around, he was nowhere to be found.

She counted the time as the deadline draws near. Hinamori must somehow tell Kira about the telescope and bring him home with her. "Mou, this is going to be harder than I thought it would be," Hinamori thought with frustration as she listened to the final lecture of the day. "Why can't Shiro-chan be a little more helpful?"

By the time the school bell rung, Hinamori quickly packed her belongings and decided to use this time to approach Kira. Walking over to his desk, Hinamori said, "Ano Kira-kun."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kira asked.

"When you left last night, you sort of forgot to bring your telescope home."

Placing a hand on the bottom of his chin, he began recalling the events from last night. "Really I did? Hm, I thought I did brought it with me back home yesterday. But then again, I guess I really did forget."

"You can drop by at my place and pick it up."

"Okay then, thanks for telling me that Hinamori-kun. I'll pick it up right now if that's okay with you?"

"Ah, of course it's alright. It won't take too long," Hinamori said as she began leaving the classroom with him.

"Yeah."

Just as they left class 2-1, Hitsugaya was at Hinamori's desk, watching how the whole thing went. With a faint smile on his face, the heavenly guardian is satisfied that the first part to completing the mission is going well just as he expected. He had a good feeling about what may happen if Hinamori is able to gather up the courage to tell him. Without any time to waste, he flew through the window and followed the two to the Hinamori residence from the skies.

"Thanks for letting me come over to pick this up," Kira said as he carried the telescope bag strap over his shoulder, "and sorry for making you keep this."

"Ah no, it's alright," replied the raven haired girl. "I don't mind."

"Well anyways, I better head back home now. My folks are going to wonder where I am."

"Yeah."

"Oi Hinamori, tell him now," Hitsugaya said with his arms crossed and suddenly appearing at Kira's side, "your feelings about him."

She knew he is right. Hitsugaya has given her the rare opportunity to be alone together with Kira. If she doesn't tell him now, his efforts will go to waste. She didn't want that to happen at all. "Um, Kira-kun..."

Responding attentively to her, Kira asked, "Yes Hinamori-kun?"

Hinamori could feel her heart pounding against her chest and her body heating up. It's not helping her at all. As a matter of fact, it's making her life much more difficult. "What if he doesn't return my feelings?"

"Oi baka! Just tell him already!" Hitsugaya snapped.

"Ah hai! Um...Kira-kun. F-For a while, I've been getting these well new fee--"

"I'm sorry Hinamori-kun, can we talk about this some other time?" Kira asked. "I really need to get back home now."

"Ah, yeah. Right. Sayonara Kira-kun."

"Ja ne."

Just after the pale blond haired teenager left the residence, Hitsugaya turned to her and said, "Great, a good chance blowned away."

"Gomen nesai Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori apologized. "I must be one terrible person."

With a sigh of defeat, the younger teenager brushed his fingers through his hair. "It's okay. I'll create another opportunity for you and Kira. There's still plenty of time before my time with you is over."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Smiling with appreciation, Hinamori is truly thankful she is blessed. He is the gift from the heavens. "Arigato Shiro-chan."

"For the last time Hinamori, it's Hitsugaya!"
