Chapter One.
Confession
Toshiro was walking slowly to the squad five barracks to talk to his old childhood friend Momo. He finally got the courage to go and tell Momo how he felt about her or more like annoyed by his drunken vice captain Rangiku to tell her that he is in love with her.
-Flashback-
"Rangiku are you just going to sit there and take a sip of the bottle of sake you have under your desk when you think I am not looking or are you going to do some paperwork for once in your life!" Yelled the angry, short squad ten captain as he finished signing another pile of paperwork.
"Captain, do you really think I would drink on the job?" Rangiku asked innocently, "I'm glad you think of me so highly captain!" She said as she pretended to wipe away a tear, then she picked up her paperwork and arranging them in a neat order to act like she just finished it, but he knew well that she didn't even start it.
"Then what is that bottle beside your desk?" Toshiro said while raising an eyebrow and pointing his finger at the bottle beside her desk.
"O-Oh... this..." She stammered, "Ah... this... is... water... yes water!" She said by picking up the bottle and shaking it.
"Then you would not mind me taking a sip of it then will you? I am rather thirsty." The young captain said with a sly smile on his face and then he rubbed his throat. Rangiku suddenly grabbed the bottle of 'water' and started to chug it down faster than anyone Toshiro has ever seen gulp down a drink before.
"I would captain but it's all gone!" Rangiku said as she hiccup. 'She must think I'm a real idiot.' Toshiro thought to himself. Toshiro could tell she was guilty because he could see it all over her face, also he could tell that she was trying not to laugh.
"Rangiku!" he yelled by slamming his palms on his desk. "How many times have I told you not drink while you are at work? "
"Ah…" she said, 'I got to change the subject.' Rangiku thought to herself as she scratch her head 'I got it!' She thought. "Captain when you going to tell Momo how you feel about her?" Asked the half-drunken vice captain.
"Rangiku stop changing the subject" Toshiro warned, but he couldn't stop the blush creeping in his face, so he looked the other way to not give his vice captain the satisfaction of seeing him blush because she mentioned he liked Momo.
"Then why are you changing the subject captain?" Rangiku said with a sly wink and she stumbled over to her child like captain and she putted her hand and his right shoulder.
"I'm not changing the subject and I don't like Momo!" Toshiro snapped as her shuddered her hand off his shoulder "Why are you trying to changing the subject Rangiku? And now if you bring drink into this office again you will have so much paperwork you wont see daylight anytime soon!" He said as he glared at his vice captain.
'If looks could kill I would be dead right now.' Thought the vice captain. "Then why are you blushing if you don't like her captain?" Rangiku chirped in her usual, drunken happy tone as she leaned on his desk.
"I am not blushing Rangiku, now do your paperwork or else you will find yourself spending the night in squad four barracks." Toshiro said calmly as picked up his pen and pulled another sheet from the pile of paperwork he has on the corner of his desk.
"If you say so….chicken" Rangiku said cheeky. 'Oh… did I just say that well now I might have just signed my death sentence.' Rangiku thought sacredly as she covered her month with her hand.
"What did you say?" Said the white-haired captain angrily, his face full with shock of what his vice captain had just said to him.
'Well I have signed my death sentence now, so better finish what I have already started.' thought Rangiku "I said Chicken!" She said while trying to put a brave look on her face.
"Why you calling me a chicken Rangiku?" Toshiro said with a serious look in his face as he snapped his pen in half. 'How dare she call me a chicken I am a captain of the thirteen court guard squad I have faced many hollows and she is calling me a chicken!' A frustrated Toshiro thought to himself.
"I'm calling you a chicken because you are afraid to tell Momo how you feel about her, and you call yourself a captain! So you are a chicken!" Rangiku said as she put her hands firmly on her hips.
"I'm not a chicken and I'm not afraid" Toshiro said as he slammed his fists on his desk. "She is going to find herself with a pile of paperwork for the way she is specking to me as if I'm not her captain" he thought as he shake his fists to get rid of the pain.
"Your not afraid are you, I thought you didn't like Momo" Rangkui said with a big grin on her face. "So if are not afraid tell her!" Said Rangiku. Her captain said nothing he just stared at his vice captain, Rangiku could feel the temperature drop slightly. "I knew it you love Momo you love Momo," sang the drunken vice captain.
"Come back when you're sober Rangiku and when you come back there will be a pile of paperwork with your name on it." Said the annoyed squad ten captain as he pointed to the door for her to leave.
Rangiku started to walk over to the door she was not going to argue with her captain if he was giving her the rest of the day off and she knew if she did, when she comes back the pile of paperwork that he is going to give her will be doubled "What ever you say captain." As she stumbled out the door.
Toshiro could hear his vice captain mutter to herself, "I must get more sake, maybe Izuru has some in his office."
"I can't tell Momo that I am in love with her," he muttered quietly to himself. Just as he said that Rangkui popped her head in the door "Chicken!" She squeaked and was gone in a blink of an eye before he could do anything to her.
"Rangiku!" He yelled "I'm not a chicken!" Then that little voice in his head said. "Then tell her if you're not a chicken, you are a captain after all this should be easy to what you usually do."
"Oh god now my own head is calling me a chicken." He said while putting his hands on his face then he got up and left the room to go and finally talk to about how he feels.
-End flashback-
"What am I doing I can't tell her how I fell about her, anyway telling her could ruin everything I'll just go back to my office and finish my paperwork." Toshiro mumbled to himself as he turned around to head back to his division.
"Shiro how are you today? A voice from behind him said happily.
"Momo?" he said surprisingly. "Well its now or never," he thought to himself. "Momo can I talk to you for a moment about something?" Toshiro said shyly.
"Of course Shiro." She said with a big smile on her face and skip over to her young friend. "What do you want to talk about?" She asked as she stopped in front of him.
"Can we talk somewhere, more private?" Toshiro asked while looking down on the ground avoiding eye contact with her. Momo tilted her head, concerned "Is everything ok?" She said with a worried look on her face as she moved closer to him.
"Everything is okay, there is just something I just want to talk to you about that's all." He said as he turned his head away from her trying to hid the blush creeping on his face and they began to walk to the fifth the two walked to the squad five barracks which was not to far away from where they were and moved swiftly in to Momo's' office.
"Okay so what do you want to talk about?" asked Momo as she sat down at her desk.
"Lately I have been thinking about things." Toshiro replied. 'More like nagged by my vice captain.' He thought to himself, as he squeezed his right fist at the taught about their earlier conversation.
"Thinking..? "She said puzzled. "Shiro never talks about how is feeling so it most be serious" Momo thought to herself as she looked at him carefully "About what Shiro? " Momo asked curiosity.
"Well... you see." Toshiro hesitated then he looked at Momo and look in to her eyes and he could tell she was concerned.
"Well what? " Momo asked impatiently as she started tapping her fingers on the desk.
Toshiro took a deep breath and took a step forward "I... I... " Was all that came out of his month as he went bright red.
"Are you all right Shiro? Your face has gone all red do you feel sick maybe you should sit down or see squad four." Momo said worriedly and she then got up from her desk and walked over to the captain. "He doesn't look very good." She thought to herself.
He took another deep breath "Momo I love you!" He blustered out. He looked up at her. And looked into her eyes "I am in love with you Momo!" He said softly, and he touch her arm gently.
But then something happened, something that Toshiro wouldn't have expected. He could see that tears starting to fill Momo's eyes and then her tears started to pour down her face at an alarming rate. "How could you do this to me?" Momo yelled as she pushed him away from her and she took a step back and laid her hand on her desk to balance herself "What… how… why would he do this me?" Momo thought sadly
"Momo..." Toshiro said in a whisper, as he walked back up to the crying girl and he was going to put his arms around her, but she pushed him away from her again and even more tears started to flow down her small petite face.
"NO!" She shouted at him "leave… me… alone!" She choked out and she shoved Toshiro out of her way and she dashed out of her office. "Don't dare follow me!" She shouted back tearfully at the small captain.
The white-haired captain stared at her as he watched his crying childhood friend run out the door. "How could I be so stupid I ruined everything and the one thing I didn't want to do was hurt her and now I... "
