Hitsugaya enjoyed the park. He always spent time here relaxing when he was in the human world. The park was peaceful. There were lots of trees and a little lake in the middle. He had seen lots of different kinds of people in the park. Young and old came here. It always amazed him at the number of people in the park.

The spirit phone in his pocket began to beep. Hitsugaya popped the "Soul Candy" and the shinigami left his gigai in the park. He hoped it would stay where it was. There had been a few times when he had returned to it only to have to search for where it had wandered off to.

Summer enjoyed the park. She liked to come here after work to wind down. The park was filled with so many interesting people. She liked to people watch. It was one of her guilty pleasures. The spring was her favorite time when the cherry blossoms were in bloom. She loved to watch them dance through the air as they fell.

As a single girl, she scoped out the guys while she walked through the park. She had met someone here once before but he had turned out to be a real creep and that relationship was over faster than it had begun.

Summer shook her head, her dark pink hair swaying behind her. She wasn't going to think about him again. She hadn't thought about him in a long time but it always brought back painful memories. Summer detoured off her normal path and made her way to the lake. The water relaxed her. She could sit for hours and watch the water.

It was the splash that brought her out of her thoughts. It sounded like someone had gone into the water. She looked over toward the dock. She could see white hair bobbing on the surface of the water. She didn't realize she was running to him. He wasn't surfacing. Summer reached in and clasped his hand. She pulled him onto the dock. He didn't appear to be breathing. She looked at him and began performing CPR.

Hitsugaya defeated the Hollow easily. It hadn't been that much of a threat. He made his way back to the park. His gigai wasn't where he had left it. 'Stupid artificial soul,' he thought as he went looking for it. He saw a group of people gathered on the dock. He could see the young woman with dark pink hair. She was pushing on someone's chest and then bent over him. Hitsugaya stepped closer. He had a bad feeling about this.

There lying on the dock was his gigai completely soaked. The woman was pushing on his chest and then putting her mouth on his. She repeated these 2 steps over and over. Hitsugaya remembered hearing about this in the Soul Society. It was called CPR. Humans performed it to keep other humans from dying.

His mind was racing. There was no easy way out of this. He knelt down beside his gigai and watched her. Her purple eyes were filled with concern. "Please don't die," she said quietly between breaths. Hitsugaya looked at her. She was really pretty. He quickly merged with his gigai as she placed her mouth over his. Taking a breath, he slowly opened his eyes and coughed.

Summer helped him sit up. "Are you ok?" she asked. He nodded. He could still feel her mouth on his. It was a very pleasant feeling.

"Thank you. I'm not usually that…" he trailed off. Why was his gigai in the water?

"I've told someone to take a long walk off a short pier but I've never seen anyone actually do it."

"I, uh," What could he say? "I was deep in thought. I guess I wasn't paying attention." He ran a hand through his hair.

Summer stood to leave. Although she wanted to stay and talk to him more, she needed to leave before old mistakes were repeated. Hitsugaya stood with her. The crowd of people began to wander off. "I'm Hitsugaya Toushiro," he said as she turned away.

"My name is Summer. I have to go. I'm sorry." She ran from him. Ran out of the park and back to her apartment. Hitsugaya watched her. It took all he had not to follow her. He knew that he would be visiting the park more often and looking for her.
