Coldest Winters

(Bleach/Hitsugaya xOC) Momo saw the wolf in the snow with me. I remember that howl and the cries for help. I couldn't remember letting her go… But she seemed to hate me for it. I'll fix my mistakes I made against her… And I'll never let her go this time now that she's beside me. I'll make sure we see that first winter together again. (Action, adventure, romance, comedy, and drama)

"Hey, get back here!"

"Someone catch that pup!"

"Don't let it get away this time!"

The small panting of the small, white wolf pup increased as it ran faster and faster from the enraged townspeople. An apple was in its mouth, clenched down between its little fangs. An angry market seller couple was in hot pursuit after the tiny wolf alongside him running was his wife.

How many years had it been since this wolf had been stealing? Everyone had lost count. It has been maybe around a good 100 years? Districts all over were complaining about a wolf thief and its owner. No one has ever seen the owner in person, but they know the wolf has an owner somewhere in the forests where the wolf always went.

Since the wolf and owner's appearance, hundreds of Soul Reapers have vanished. They would go out in groups to hunt for the thieving duos to capture them, but they would never return.

The townspeople decided to take their own action. They couldn't wait any longer for the Soul Reapers to do their job. However, the small wolf squeezed itself through a hole in the fence, escaping the furious townsfolk who shouted in a raging fit. The wolf began a slow trot to where it smelt blood, lots of it. The wolf knew its owner had gotten the rest of their dinner.

"Chibi-kun~ Old lady~ Good morning!" A small little girl with white hair to her shoulder blades grinned from ear to ear as she held a newborn wolf pup in her arms. Her sky blue eyes shined with joy and love, as she stared at the old woman sipping her tea, giving a warm smile to the girl. The small white haired boy sat at the other end, crossing his arms and yawned.

"Your so annoying and loud in the morning!" He said angrily. "And stop calling me Chibi-kun!"

"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to share the joy I guess." The girl shrugged and sat as close as she could to the boy, but he slid away from her.

"Hey grandma." The white haired boy looked up, ignoring the girl's pout. "Do you think we could go pick the watermelon today?!" His angry face turned into a small smile as his grandmother nodded slowly. He jumped up and grabbed a basket, heading for the door. He held the door open and the sun began to shine a bit brighter.

"Come on Nanami, lets so get the watermelons together!" He began to grin from ear to ear. She remembered how much he loved watermelons… Almost as much as she loved him… For everything he's done for her.

"Okay! Wait for me Toshiro!"

She hated remembering him… She couldn't understand why, but she felt hurt. Just thinking about him got her blood boiling, but she also felt that same emotion she usually felt when she pictured him… The feeling of happiness she hadn't truly felt in so long.

"I remember how much you love watermelon…" She said softly outloud. "If I saw you today… Would you be angry? Would you run away with her again…?"

She remembers waking up. Toshiro wasn't there like he promised he would be. Nor was Hinamori. She remembers when Toshiro's old lady died… Toshiro wanted to become a Soul Reaper to control himself.

Toshiro took her to meet Hinamori, a good friend of his. The three made a promise to get into Soul Reaper Academy together, but that morning she woke up…

Toshiro wasn't there. Hinamori wasn't there. She was all alone just like the years before she met Toshiro.

She wanted answers. Where did Toshiro go? Where did Hinamori go? Why did they leave without telling her? Were they dead? She had been searching all over the Soul Society in all the districts for them.

Slowly, she began to realize she needed to live for herself. She began to steal to survive all these years. What else was there to do? She had to keep herself and the pup alive…

"What's your name child?" The old lady asked. The small, beaten up white haired girl just blinked.

"…I don't have a name. I don't need one." She spoke softly and harshly, wanting to rip everyone in half. She hated everyone and everything.

"…Her name is Nanami grandma." The small Toshiro spoke up, staring at the girl who was wide eyed. "Nanami Shirofang, I found her like that in the forest. She's been watching me for a while now to see if I made it home safe."

He knew… I'd been watching because I was worried for him so as thanks…

H-He gave m-me a first and l-last name…

Nanami Shirofang was grown up now. Sure, she was still young, but she had developed. She had her own Zanpaktou and her looks were of a teenager. Her hair had grown from her shoulders to her knees, turning an even brighter shade of white. She was tall, only a few centimeters taller than Toshiro now. Her eyes were a beautiful and brighter sky blue, making it look as if they were always shining. Her body was very well developed. Her curves were beautiful and she was rather skinny. Her breasts were large, not nearly as large as Rangiku, but she wished sometimes.

However, she was fine with the big size she currently had. A red scarf was tied around her neck and her hair was no longer in the usual ponytail. She wore it down and kept the black ribbon from so long around her right wrist, the same hand she held her sword with.

"Woof woof!" She heard a small pup barking towards her and she smiled. She stood from the base of the tree and smiled more. The bodies of 3 dead Soul Reapers sat in a pile, blood fresh as Nanami only killed them moments ago.

"Welcome back, Okami~." Nanami sang a bit more happily than she intended. She never wanted to kill all these Soul Reapers, but she had to find food for Okami. While Okami went to go steal food for her, Nanami would be forced to go hunt down Soul Reapers for Okami. Nanami's old clothes were so filthy from all the blood she had to strip down a Soul Reaper and take his clothes and the cloak he wore. Sure the Soul Reaper uniform was a large and it barely fit her, but it was comfortable. She loved baggy, loose clothing. She was always warm in it.

Okami let go of the fresh green apple and rolled it to Nanami's knees. "Good puppy! Your dinner is over there." I pointed to the bodies of Soul Reapers and Okami trotted happily over to it, tearing at the flesh of the bodies. I pulled the cloak around my body, and then slipped the hood over my head. I jumped into the treetops. My eyes scanned the area quickly and I noticed Soul Reapers being dispatched, probably starting to look for me again. I dropped to the ground and picked up Okami.

"Well, that's the only place we haven't checked." I said, looking at the super tall gate that closed to block us from the Seretei. "If I'm right… Toshiro and Hina should be just over that wall…"

Finally, I'd be able to see the two I've been longing for… I'd get my answers…

And then I'd choose if I wanted to kill them or give them a chance to explain.

Done! Ah, I'm so glad to be back! :D
