Toshiro Hitsugaya was, in simple words, perplexed. He had just witnessed "flirting". As the little captain made his way back to his office, he couldn't help but dwell on the speech that had taken place right in front of his impressionable young mind.

Toshiro Hitsugaya walked through a desolate corridor when some high-pitched speaking reached his ears. Knowing that people weren't allowed to talk THAT loudly in the hallways in mind, he sneaked around the corner to see who the culprit(s) were. What he saw thoroughly flabbergasted him.

Rukia Kuchiki, as he could tell, wrapped her arms around that no-good, Shinigami substitute's neck.

"Who is it?" he asked playfully. Surely, he must know who that is! thought Toshiro.

"Guess" she whispered playfully in his ear. How does he NOT know!!! Toshiro couldn't believe it.

"hmm. . .Orihime?" he asked with a smile.

"Nope. Guess again!" she giggled.

"Let's see here. . .Nel?"

"Nope."

"Rin-Rin?"

"Try again!"

"Yoruichi?"

"Close. . .sort of."

As little Hitsugaya watched this, the talking offense long forgotten, he couldn't believe the boy's stupidity. After all the fights they've had, all the fights they've won working together, and all the fights with each other on the other party's mind, how could he NOT know the voice of Rukia Kuchiki by heart?

"Is it Rukia?" he asked, looking around.

"You are correct, good sir!" she replied, kissing him on the lips playfully.

I just don't get it. . . he thought monotonously, shuffling down the hallway. I wonder if Matsumoto knows anything about this?

Poor little Toshi. . .the trip he was about to take. . .

AN: (Okay, the original Emo Alchemist is ME. My lil sis [to whom the 'VACATION' stories are credited to] is Shmoo.)

Me: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm Back! I've escaped the confines my sis put me in and am now back to spread literature-related torture upon your minds!

Shmoo:That sentence was torture enough.

Me:You! How did you get in MY story!

Shmoo:You left the computer room door open.

Me:Oh. HOW DARE YOU ENTER WITHOUT KNOCKING!!!

Shmoo:My room, fart-head.

Me:Curse you, Shmoo!

Read the next chapter to see if A.) Toshi gets a clue or B.) If I get locked away again by Shmoo.

Shmoo:HOLD ON! I've got an important question! Who's the better writer?! *whispers* say me and I'll write a chapter in my story, just for you!

Both: Please Review!!!! *Shmoo b-slaps Emo Alchemist*
