Chapter One-Fukitaicho and Taicho

It has been 10 years since Toshiro and Momo rescued the slaves and created a society in their kingdom. They got married 5 years ago and decided to name their society The Soul Society. They named it the Soul Society because they all found out they have unique powers and decided to use them.

Toshiro sighed, rubbing his temples with his pointer fingers. He closed his ice blue eyes and sighed again.

"Taicho, daijoubu?" Orihime said. He groaned.

"So much paperwork." He complained.

"Captain, you'll be fine." His other fukitaicho said. He opened his eyes and looked up at his strawberry haired fukitaicho. She stood infront of him.

"Besides, it's you we're talking about. You're not easy to bring down. Here's some paperwork that I have finished." Matsumoto said, holding out the papers. He took them and set it to the 6 inch high paper pile of finished work.

"I know but...this is the most paperwork I have EVER done. It's so exhausting." He said. "I don't know why Captain Yamamoto is making me do all of this. It's wearing me out."

"Oh, that's why you've been looking so tired. Have you gotten any sleep?" Orihime asked, coming beside Matsumoto.

"Not really." Toshiro said. Suddenly, a Hell Butterfly flew in and fluttered over to Toshiro. He held out his hand and the butterfly landed on his palm.

"Hitsugaya-taicho, the Headmaster needs to talk to you." The butterfly says to him. He furrowed his eyebrows and it fluttered off.

"He needs to talk to me? I wonder why." He thought before standing up.

"What's going on, taicho?" Matsumoto said.

"The Headmaster wants to talk to me." He said. "Can you handle it here?"

"Hai." Orihime said. He nods.

"Taicho, can I be in charg-"

"-Orihime, you'll be in charge. Ok?" Toshiro said, intterupting Matsumoto, who slumped her shoulders and looked down.

"Hai." Orihime said.

"Gomenesai, Rangiku. It's just that I don't think you're able to become a taicho yet." Toshiro said. Matsumoto raised her head and looked at her taicho.

"I am fully responsible!" She said. Toshiro stared at her as she almost lost her balance and sturred a little.

"Says the girl who is on a hangover. Anyway, I'll be going." He said and left. His white captain's robe flowing in the air behind him. His 2 fukitaicho's were watching him as he left the room.

"Captain Yamamoto." Toshiro said as he walked into his office. Yamamoto looked up from his paperwork. Toshiro lowered his head in a bow.

"Ah, Captain Hitsugaya. You got my message, I presume?" Yamamoto said as he stood from his chair. Toshiro raised his head and nodded. "I called you for important news." He said. Toshiro kept his eyes on the Headmaster as he walked over to him and stood infront of him.

"What's so important?" Toshiro asked.

"You are not a captain anymore. You're a fukitaicho." Yamamoto said. Toshiro's eyes widened in shock before he quinted them at Yamamoto.

"Not a captain? What do you mean? Did someone over-run me?" Toshiro asked, clenching his fists. Yamamoto softly chuckled.

"No." Yamamoto said.

"Then why am I not a captain anymore, Yamamoto?" Toshiro asked.

"Here. Why don't I show you." Yamamoto went to his desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out a netly fold, a black robe. He tossed it to Toshiro, who caught it. The robe was black with blue, red and gold swirls on it. There was a long silk, golden strap that was holding together. He folded it and looked at the symbol on the back. "You may know call me your taicho, fukitaicho Hitsugaya." Yamamoto said. Toshiro's eyes widened and he traced the symbol with his thumb. That symbol was the same as Yamamoto.

"B-but how? Why?" Toshiro said and looked up.

"Because Momo has told me about everything you have done. How you helped freeing those slaves. How you rescued Ichigo and risked your life for him. You're very valuable, Hitsugaya. I can tell. And besides, you're the King. You can't just be a captain." Yamamoto gestured to the robe in Toshiro's hands. Toshiro looked down at it. "You can be the Headmaster's fukitaicho. And Momo told me you mastered level 4 from you bankai?" Yamamoto said. Toshiro blushed and looked away. Yamamoto chuckles.

"You don't need to flatter me, Yamamoto." Toshiro said.

"Yeah, well...it's all true. But to the point...Toshiro Hitsugaya, do you accept the role of being my fukitaicho?" Yamamoto said. Toshiro clutched the robe and took off his 10th Division robe and tossed it to Yamamoto. Toshiro put on the black one and tied the golden strap around his waist.

"I accept. But who's gonna be the new captain for the 10th division?" Toshiro asked.

"That's easy." Yamamoto gestured to the door as he tossed the 10th division robe to the person behind Toshiro. Toshiro turned and stared at his wife, Hinamori Momo.

"Momo?" He said.

"Shiro-chan?" She said. "I know that someone was gonna be the new fukitaicho of Yamamoto but I never expected you to be that person." She smiled. He smiled also and extended his hand. She took it and held his hand as he came to his side.

"Hinamori-chan, I now pronounce you the captain of the 10th Division. You have Orihime Inoue and Matsumoto Rangiku as fukitaichos." Yamamoto said. They both bowed at the Headmaster.

"Arigato, taicho." Toshiro said.

"Arigato, Yamamoto." Momo said.

"You're welcome. Toshiro." Toshiro raised his head. "You have a mission that I would like to assign to you. But since you are new at this position, I'll wait to assign it for a week or so." Yamamoto said. Toshiro nods.

"Hai." He said.

"Dismissed." Yamamoto said. They both bowed once before leaving hand in hand.

"Congrats, Momo. You finally became a captain." Toshiro said as they walked down the hall.

"Oh, arigato. But, it's no big deal." She said.

"No big deal? Momo, it is a big deal. Being a captain is an honor. Besides, isn't becoming a captain your dream?" He said.

"Yeah, it's my dream but...what if I'm not ready for it?" She said and looked at him. Toshiro sighed, letting go of her hand and coming infront of her.

"Momo, you are ready." He said.

"But what if I'm not? What if I can't handle it?" She said.

"Momo." He cupped her face in his hands. "You're ready. I know this for a fact. You've been a fukitaicho for years and you already mastered bankai. And if you ever need help, ask Orihime, Matsumoto or I. Well, nevermind asking Matsumoto. She'll probably give you the wrong advice." He said. She smiled.

"I know you'll be there for me, Shiro-chan." She said.

"Good. Then be strong. Like I said, wearing a captain's robe is an honor." He said. She came closer.

"I know." She said and gingerly put her lips to his. They closed their eyes and Momo gripped his robe in both hands.

"I have a question for you." She said as their lips seperated.

"What is it?" He asked. She whispered her question in his ear.

"Are you sure? I mean, it's a big responsibility. Are you up to it?" He said.

"Of course I am sure. And I know it's big but...Shiro-chan, I'm ready for it." She said.

"Well, I hate forcing you into something that you may not like." He said.

"Shiro-chan, I've known you since I was small. I fell inlove with you at first sight. I've been waiting 20 years. I'm ready. I've been ready. And..." She teasingly traced the scar on his neck. She remembered how where he got the scar from. She's been trying to forget. "I want you in that way." She said. He smiled and she looked at him.

"Are you ready?" She said and smirked.

"As long as you are." He said. She grabs his hand and started tugging him down the hall.

"Then come on, let's go." She said. She tugged him to their room.

THE END

Author's Note: Ok, so...Toshiro is the new fukitaicho of the Headmaster. Momo is now the captain of the 10th division. Wow. They've made so much progress, nee? But there is more [even though the ending of this chapter sounds like an ending itself :I...]. I'm gonna try to make this series longer than No Chance. Maybe 6 or 7 chapters. Who knows? [shrugs]. Anyway, arigato and ja ne. What do you think? Let me know. REVIEW
