So Alone: Chapter one
Toshiro stared, very puzzled, at his new schedule. He is new at the Osaka High School. He could read it but had no idea where the classrooms are; for his guide never showed up the day before to show him around.
"You lost, newbie?" A femal voice from behind him said. He whipped around and found a women with curly red hair and a Sake bottle in her right hand. The white haired boy raised an annoyed eyebrow and folded his arms across his chest.
"I don't and won't need help from a drunk stranger." He said.
"Oh, don't worry. I won't be a stranger. My name is Masumoto Rangiku -hic-" She said, her voice slurred as her stagger left to right.
"Good to know. Now leave me alone." He said, obvisously annoyed by her ''drunked'' pressence.
"Aren't you gonna say your -hic- name?" She said. He sighed.
"My name is Hitsugaya Toshiro. Now beat it." Toshiro said, flicking his wrist at her, telling her to leave now.
"Don't mind Masumoto." Someone said behind Rangiku. Toshiro and the Drunk Queen turned around to find a group of 4 peoeple.
"Gin, -hic- Momo, -hic- Renji, -hic- Rukia -hic-." Rangiku said.
"Who the hell are you?" The white haired boy got really annoyed at unknown people who seemed to know him.
"Trust me, you'll find out later -hic-." The Drunk Queen said, coming toward Hitsugaya.
"What the hell are you doing? Get away from me." He said She came up to him and pinched his cheeks.
He exclaimed as she pinched REAL HARD. He unfolded his arms and tried to pry her hands away from his cheeks.
"Let go of me!" He said. A male stepped forward, with a white headband and spikey red hair. He grabbed Rangiku and got her away from Toshiro, who rubbed his cheeks while giving the drunk women a deadly glare.
"C'mon! Lemme go!" Rangiku said, weakyly trying to get out of Renji's hold.
"No. Hinamori, be a dear and show him around." Renji said.
"Hai, Renji-kun." A raven haired girl stepped up.
"Alright, let's get her out of here." Gin said.
"No! Come on guys! Lemme pinch his cheeks again! They're so soft and mushy!" Rangiku complained. Toshiro help up a fist and clenched it and he closed his eyes, wanting to punch the hell out of Rangiku. He's not two years old, afterall.
"What's your name?" The raven haired girl said, gently smiling at him. He opened his eyes and looked at her. She was quite beautiful. He ignored the urge to ask for her number.
"Um, first tell me yours." He said. She let out a soft chuckle.
"Hinamori Momo, at your service." She said and bowed. He stared at her.
"Don't bow at me. And I don't need your help." He said, turning to walk away.
"You do need my help. You and I both know you do. You'll get lost. This school is huge." Momo said. Hitsugaya stopped in his tracks and sighed, turning ony his head and slanted his gaze at her.
"I did notice that one." He admitted. She smiled again.
"C'mon. Lemme see your schdeule." She said. He turned around and handed her his schedule. She scanned it and handed it back to him.
"You have the same schedule as mine. Follow me and try not to get lost." She turned and headed down the hallway.
"Get lost? Wha-?" He interrupted as the bell rang and the hallways filled with students from homeroom.
"Momo?" He called out.
"I told you not to get lost." Someone said to his right. He looked. Momo grabbed his hand and led him to his first period class, Biology.
IN HITUGAYA'S POV
I stared at the experiment laid out infront of me. I've wasted about 10 minutes just staring at the darn thing. I have NO clue what to do with it. I sighed, almost giving up. I looked at Momo, who was peacefully and correctly [I guess] doing her experiment. I looked down at the directions, my eyes scanning the reading.
"You gonna do that, small fry or do you need help?" Someone said. I closed my eyes and ignored the anti-compliment.
"Hey, newbie! Are you deaf?" He said, once more, annoying the hell out of me. I opened my eyes and glared up at the prep infront of me.
"Excuse me?" I said, trying to fight the urge of going into my Soul Society uniform and attacking him with me Zanpackto and see who's the small fry now.
"You heard me." He smirked. I reached up and grabbed his shirt.
"If I were you, I'd watch what you're saying. You have no idea what you're dealing with, fat-so." I whispered to him. He got angry and shoved me. I didn't budge. I let go of his shirt and shoved him back. This time, he went into his chair. His shocked expression went to rage and he stood. His lab partner tried to stop him but the fat-so shook him off.
"You, small fry, also don't know what you're dealing with." He said, throwing my Test Tubes and my experiment to the ground. All the glass stuff crashed to the ground just next to my right foot. I kept my glare at him.
"Oops." He said, putting a fake mask of horror on his face and shoved me. This time, I went down [not seeing it coming]. A pain shot up my arm and I flinched while closing on eye shut.
"Double oops. Now think-OOF!" He exclaimed as Momo shoved him to the ground.
"Leave him alone, Tommy!" She yelled.
"It's Bobby!" He said.
"WHO CARES?" She fought back. He scoffed and got back to his experiment. I looked at my palm and noticed a big piece of sharded glass sticking out of the middle of my palm. Momo knelt down beside me.
"You ok?" She said as I stared at my bloody hand.
HINAMORI'S POV
I saw his bloody hand. He winced as I grabbed his hand, attemping to take the glass out.
"Etti. That hurts." He said.
"Oh, gomenesai. I'm gonna try to take it out." I said. He slowly and hestitantly nodded. I grabbed the glass. He softly groaned and he closed both eyes. I breathed and lightly took it out of his palm. I was about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. Wow, that's kinda big, I thought. I grabbed my cloth and wrapped it around his hand.
"There you go." I said and looked at him. His aqua blue eyes meeting mine. My heart raced. I never noticed how beautiful his eyes were. I struggled to keep calm as I stood. He stood and kept on staring at me. I looked at his experiment and chuckled. His face flushed and he looked away.
"Need help?" I asked. He didn't answer, but the look in his eyes said yes.
REGULAR POV
The white haired boy sighed, walking home from a restless first day. He looked at his hand. It was still wrapped carefully with the black cloth that Momo used. He clutched his fast and winced, unaware [until now] that the wound was still there. He sighed. "Well, that's gonna need stitches." He said. He stopped in his tracks. Horror filled him. A house infront of him was deeply ingolfed in flamed. It exploded in both fire and heat. Smoke arose from it. He dropped his bookbag and ran inside.
"Mom? Dad?" He called, ignoring the head and smoke that attacked his skin. He went upstairs.
"Mom? Dad?" He called out. He heard a soft grunt.
"To..shiro." Someone familiar said. He ran to his parents and got on his knees.
"Son, you have...to go. Save yourself." His mom said.
"No, I won't do that." He said. They seemed very weak. He looked at his dad. His dad's eyes faded in color; he is dead.
"Son, you are very brave. But go...there's not much time until the house collapses on us." She said, touching his cheek. "Go, now. While you still have the chance. We love you very much. Don't forget that. We'll be watching over you." She said, the color of her eyes fadded to grey and her hand dropped. Tears stung his eyes and he stood. The was cracking. He looked up and the roof collapsed on him and his dead parents, causing them to plummet down to the first floor. Toshiro caughed. He has too much smoke in his lungs. He started to get a little dizzy. His clothes were covered in smoke. A small piece of wood covered in flames landed on his chest, burning a hole in his jacket. He hissed out of pain the fire gave him as he threw the chunk to the wall. He stood, covered his rib [which broke at impact], took one last look at his parents and ran out of the house. He stopped in the front lawn and turned, falling on his knees as it started to sprinkle. He hung his head and for the first time in his life, tears rolled down his cheeks.
2 hours later
IN HINAMORI'S POV: 2 hours later
"Thanks again for walking me home in the rain, Renju-kun." I said as he led me to my front door.
"No problem, Hinamori-chan. Stay dry." He said, handing me the umbrella and running across the street to his house. I sighed and looked for my house key. I had to stay after with the gang to help them on their History Project. It's so bothersome, really. They got easily distracted. Suddenly, something caught my eye. I looked to the right, the opposite way where I walked home from school. Someone a few houses down was laying in the front lawn. I squinted as hard as I could to see who it was. White spikey hair and smoked covered clothing.
"Who...oh, no. Toshiro." I said, dropping my keys and the umbrella as I ran to his side. I got on my knees and let me get soaked by the pouring rain.
"Toshiro?" I said. His eyes were closed. I turned him over and touched his cheek. I snapped my hand back. His skin...it was ice cold. I ignored it and cupped his face in my hands.
"Toshiro, wake up." I said. He didn't open his eyes though he pulled his eyebrow together and groaned softly. I put his head down and ran to Renji's house and knocked. He opened the door.
"Momo-chan?" He said, surprised to see me.
"Help me." I said.
"With what?" He said. I gestured toward Toshiro. Renji's eyes widen.
"Oh, that." He said.
"Help me bring him in my house." I said. He nods and we ran to him. "Wow. Judging from his condition, he was out here for atleast 2 hours." He said, folding an arm under his knees and the other around his back, bringing the wet, white haired boy up to his chest. I ran to my door and unlocked it. I opened it and let Renji in. He put Hitsugaya on the couch, his head resting on the arm.
"Worst case of hypothermia I have seen. Take care." He said, leaving. I shut the door behind him and changed into dry clothing. I opened a closet door, pulling out some blankets and a pillow. I went into my little brother room and pulled out pure white silk pajama's for Toshiro and quickly went sownstairs. I put the blankets and the pillow down. I sigh. I can NOT believe I am about to do this. I looked at him. Ok, Hinamori, it's going to be okay. Just take off his wet clothing and put on the silk pj's. No biggie. I went over to him and took off his wet clothing [of course, NOT HIS BOXERS]. I put the pants of the pajama's on him and slipped the shirt on after I put the pillow behind him head. When I turned back around, I felt smoothness and wetness. I looked at found my hand on his chest. My eyes widen. My heart told me to yank my hand away but my body told me no. I curiously stared at his chest and felt it with my fingers, gently carressing his smooth skin. I admit, he sure is darn cute. I looked at his closed eyes. I was excited to see his aqua blue eyes again. And I just loved the way his pure white hair is spikey. I smiled.
"I'll go make some hot tea." I said, suddenly getting thirsty. I stood and headed into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup and before I got to make the hot tea, there was a knock on my door. I stopped and looked at the door. Another knock. I wonder who that could be.
"Coming!" I called, heading to the door. I opened it.
"Masumoto, Gin, Renji, Ichigo, Rukia. What are you guys doing here? What's going on? Why are you wearing your Soul Society uniforms?" I questioned.
"Hinamori-chan, we need your help. There are too many hollows. Izuru and Orihime are injured. Badly." Rukia said. I looked at Izuru. He was being carried by Gin [who was silent and wasn't too happy his lietanuet was injured].
"What happened to Izuru?" I asked, moving aside to let them in. They walked in.
"I was being attacked." Gin started. "I didn't notice a hollow was creeping up behind me. I turned and next thing I knew..." He looked down at his clothing, which we stained lightly in blood. "I was covered in Izuru's blood. He took the blow for me. A loyal lietanuet but a stupid move that I will thank him for. He saved my life by risking his. I owe him." He said.
"Is he alive?" I said.
"Very much but he is loosing too much blood." He said. "Here. Put him on the chair." I said. Gin put him on the chair. I rolled up my sleeves.
"I learned some healing techniques from Orihime." I said, putting both hands on the wound. A green light formed around my hands and wound on his stomach healed automatically. Izuru opened his blue eyes.
"Oh, hey Hinamori-chan." He said, still weak from loosing too much blood.
"I suggest you should bring him to the hospital. He still needs from attention." I said.
"Ok, arigato." Gin said. I nodded. Gin bent down infront of his lietanuet.
"Izuru, you did a dumb move." He said. Izuru looked away, ashamed. Gin cupped his face in his hands.
Izuru looked at him. "But thank you. You saved my life. I owe you." He said.
"You're welcome, taicho." Izuru said. Gin carried Izuru on his back. "We'll be at the hospital if you need me." He used flash step and dissapeared.
"Orihime." Ichigo said. Orihime started to cough.
"Oh! Put her on the couch. I'll tend to her wounds." I said. Ichigo put her on the couch.
"You aren't gonna come with us?" Rangiku said. I paused.
"Well, I..." I looked at Toshiro. "It's not like I don't want to come and help you. It's just...Orihime needs immediate care and...he might wake up...I...don't wanna be there when he does." I said.
"Who is he anyway?" Rukia said, pointing to Toshiro.
"Oh. That's Hitsugaya Toshiro." I said.
"Hmm. I heard he is new here." Rukia said.
"Hai, he is." I said.
"What happened to him?" Ichigo said.
"I found him laying on the lawn 2 hours ago in the pouring rain. I had to help. I couldn't let him just lay there." I said.
"Yeah, he got hypothermia, right?" Renji said. I nodded.
"Alright, well since I am your captain, I will let you stay." Ichigo said. I bowed.
"Arigato!" I said.
"Ichigo! We need her!" Renji said.
"One, Orihime does need medical care asap." We all nodded in agreement. "Second, we have the hole society coming as back up. Infact, they're there already." Renji groaned. "And, you have done so much for me. You deserve a break." Ichigo finished.
"Arigato taicho." I said. Ichigo nodded.
"Ich...igo." Orihime groaned, finally gaining consciousness. Ichigo bent down infront of her and grabbed her hand.
"You'll be fine, alright? Hinamori is gonna take care of you." He said. She stared at him.
"Don't go out there. I don't want you hurt." She begged, tears in her eyes. Renji, Rukia, Masumoto and I looked at eachother, akward creeping all over our faces.
"We'll meet you outside." Masumoto said, opening the door and they went out. Renji closed the door behind them. "I'm going out there Orihime. You've been hurt because of me and I need revenge. And they need me out there." Ichigo said. Orihime slowly sat up, trying not to strain herself, and cupped his face in her hands.
"Promise me one thing?" She said. I put my hands to my eyes. I know they are having a Lovey-Dovey Moment and it's going to result in Make-out Land.
"Anything." Ichigo said. I spread to finger apart, peeking.
"Promise me that you'll come back. That...you're not gonna get hurt." She said. He smiled and wipped her tears away with the back of his hands.
"I promise." He said. I covered my eyes once again as Ichigo kissed his lover. I atleast stood there for 30 seconds before Ichigo said something.
"Ok Hinamori, you can un-cover your eyes now." He said. I put my hand down. Ichigo was in the doorway, ready to leave.
"Take care, lietanuet." He said.
"Goodluck taicho." I said. He nods and leaves. I shut the door behind him and looked at Orihime, who was blushing and looking away.
"First kiss?" I asked. She nods,
"First boyfriend." She said.
"Oh. How long?" I said.
"Two days." She replied.
"Ah. So that's why he didn't look happy when he carried you in here." I said. Orihime nods. I akwardly itched my head as it got incredibly silent.
"So..." I said and she looked at me."Want some food?" I asked. She laughs but nods.
REGULAR POV: 2 days later
"Thanks for taking care of Orihime." Ichigo said, holding Orihime's hand.
"No problem." Momo replied and bowed.
"Oh, no need to bow, Hinamori-chan. Anyways, how's that Hitsugaya boy doing?" Her taicho said. Momo sadened and look at the unconscious Toshiro.
"He's been in a colma for 2 days." Momo said.
"I hope he wakes up. He's an important captain of the 10th division." Orihime says. Momo looked at her.
"He's...a captain? He must be really good then." Hinamori said.
"Yeah, he is. He actually just made the position 3 days ago. That's why he moved here." Ichigo said.
"Interesting." Hinamori said.
"Well, ja ne Hinamori." Ichigo said.
"Oh, right. Ja ne." Momo said and shut the door. "Ok. Shower time." She said.
10 MINUTES LATER
She wrapped her robe around her slim body and tied it. She heard a 'thump' and jumped while wipping around to see the source. Toshiro was in her doorway, having trouble balancing.
"You're awake." She said.
"Where...am I?" He said, barely even making out the words. The raven haired girl ran to him and he fell on his knees.
"C'mon, back to the couch." She said, putting his arm around her shoulder and helped him go back downstairs and onto the couch. She laid him down and before she got to put the blankets on him, she looks up at him, aqua blue eyes finally meeting brown eyes.
"What happened 2 days ago?" She asked. TWO DAYS AGO?, he thought. He sighed and didn't feel like fighting back.
"I was walking home from my first day at school. I noticed my house was on fire and did a stupid move, going into my house, looking for my family members." He sat up." When I found my mom and dad, they were too weak. My dad was dead before my mom was. My parents were killed in the fire and now I am completly alone." He said. Momo turned his head so he was facing her and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. His eyes were wide in shock.
"Gomenesai, Toshiro. You can stay here for as long as you like." She said. Tears, once again, rolled down his cheeks and landed on her shoulder. He faught the urge to huge her but he lost. He tightly closed his eyes shut, his arms wrapped around her back and pulled her close.
"...Arigato." He said
