This is my First Fanfic. Please send some reviews. This takes place after the Fake Karakura Town Arcs. I don't know what's gonna happen so I'll tell how it is.

The Strawberry and the Plum

It was a dark night, and one Ichigo Kurosaki was in the Soul Society. He walks around the Seireitei in depression. He was depressed that he couldn't defeat Aizen in the fake Karakura Town.

" Crap, I couldn't defeat him. I thought I was the only one that could beat him..... I loss.

He punches the wall in frustration. He wanted to get stronger. Stronger so that next time, he won't fail.

"Next time I will get you, Aizen!" he stated.

Ichigo continues to walk around. He then walk into the Squad 5 territory.

" So this is where Aizen was" he thought. "I wonder who's the Vice-Captain of the squad?"

Suddenly, a person bumps into him and falls down. Ichigo didn't know what bumped into him

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry" the person apologized with a female type of voice.

"No, it's okay", Ichigo said. "Wait, you are...?"

The dark haired girl then introduced herself to him.

" My name is Hinamori Momo. It is a pleasure to meet you Ichigo-kun."

Ichigo blushed while looking at her. He had never somebody so cute before. Her hair tied in a bun, her purple colored eyes, her soft pink lips. All her features attracted him. He had never felt such a sensation before. However, he tired to maintain his composure.

"It's nice to meet you too Hinamori" he said.

"What are you doing here in this time of night" she asked him.

" I was taking a walk out here just to clear my head." he answered.

" I see. To clear your head about what exactly?" she asked another question.

" It's about Aizen. he said.

He then saw her face go from Happy to sad. He wondered if he said something wrong. He didn't know what to do.

Is something wrong? You alright Hinamori? he asked cautiously.

She then asked him something. Can I talk somewhere private with you?

Ichigo nodded. Momo took his hand and lead him him to somewhere private. She took him to the back of the Squad 5 office. It was dark in the back. a perfect place for some alone time between them. She then asked him a serious question.

" Do you really want to know what happened with me and Aizen?

Ichigo nodded again.

"Captain Aizen was my captain", she started. I thought he would care for me. He treated me like I was his own. He gained my trust. Then, he stabbed me in the stomach. I thought it was Ichimaru's doing, but I had to come to the truth. Now I don't know what to do.

Ichigo looked at her with sadness in his eyes. Momo sniffled a little. Ichigo came up to her and wiped her tears away. She smiled a little for clearing her tears.

" Sorry that I took up you time. I gotta go." she says as she's about to walk off.

Before she walks off, Ichigo grabs her hand. She turns around in confusion. Ichigo gulps a bit. He then opens his mouth to talk.

I don't know what your relationship with Aizen was. But , I do know is that he treated you wrong. Aizen's gonna pay for what he did to the Soul Society. Also, I won't let him get away with almost killing you Hinamori.

He comes closer to her and kisses her on the lips. It was heavenly to Hinamori and a new experience for her. Ichigo pulled away and she blushed.

" I will protect you, I promise", he stated.

Hinamori came and embraced him in a hug. She cried on his kimono. She couldn't stop crying. Ichigo held her.

"You don't even know me. How can you protect me?" she asked.

" I always keep my promise to those I deeply cherish" he answered. "Do you believe me now?

She clutched his Kimono in her hands.

" Yes, I believe you." She said. "Thank you Ichigo-kun."

They walked from behind holding each others hands.

"Do you want to look at the stars?" she asked him

He then kissed her nose.

"Yeah, thats cool." He said
