HALLOWEEN TREAT

A dare in the dark

How far is Hitsugaya willing to go to make Matsumoto do her paperwork?

Raingiku Matsumoto happily waved at the passing crowds of people dressed in gay robes of myriads of colours. Lemony yellow wine deep red, sky blue… How colorful! She could even guess some from their many costumes. Yachiru for one was dressed in a pink fairy leotard with a matching too-too and a sparkly star at the end of a long stick.

Everyone was happy and in a good mood except her taichou who was presently glaring at her.

"Why did I ever listen to you? " Hitsugaya growled

"Ah, taichou, it's because you need to have some fun you know! Loosen up! If you just stick around all day on that on that chair of yours you'll get stuck you know! And then-!"

Hitsugaya waved a hand at her.

"Yes I know."

Truth be told, he would never have stepped foot there if his fukutaichou hadn't moaned and groaned in his ear for his attendance.

Now, actually standing in the room made him feel ridiculous. This whole thing was stupid anyway. Dressing up in idiotic clothes, on a day that held no significance to him whatsoever, foolishness, all of it!

"No, no, no, taichou,' Matsumoto said, wagging her finger at him. She'd read the look of disgust on his face perfectly.

'You promised to come and just standing there doing nothing doesn't -oooh, there's Kira! With some sake too!" She paused for breath. "Walk around, don't just stand there. Have some fun! I'll be right back!"With that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Walk around, eh? That wouldn't be hard enough. He'd just walk round and round in circles and then leave. He would have kept his promise, right?
