Chapter 1
Momo Hinamori
It was the only person that clouded his mind, no matter how much he tried to get her of his mind ,the image of her lifeless body in that monster's(Aizen) hand came circling back.
"It's my fault she's dead,all mine" he whispered to himself.
Then suddenly his busty lieutenant came barging in his office,interrupting thoughts.
"Captain!" His lieutenant called out, obviously very very drunk.
"What do you want,Matsumoto ?"he said angrily.
"I just wanted to see if you're doing alright. It's been snowing a lot."she said
"I'm fine ,Matsumoto "Hitsugaya said through his gritted teeth.
"No need to be so grouchy"she the temperature of the room drop suddenly.
"Look ,if you're not going to do any work then you might as well get out!"he shouted
The voice of her captain made her almost a hell butterfly came flying through the window, landing on his shoulder.
"The Head Captain is requesting your presence,Captain Hitsugaya"
And with that said,he flash step out of his office,on his way to
1st Division.
It was just a regular morning for Rukia. She was doing her duties around the 13th division. Usually during this time of day she would be training her recruits ,but due to the amount of paperwork (and snow),she could not.
Outside her office you could clearly both 3rd seats of 13th bickering ,stating their undying love for Captain Ukitake,who is once again sick.
'This is going to be a long day'
she thought,finishing her first stack of paperwork. A knock came to her door.
"Come in" she called out. The doors open, revealing a familiar red head.
"Good morning,Renji " Rukia greeted,"How are you today?".
"I'm fine ,except that your your brother is trying to kill me" the red head replied. This made Rukia chuckle
"Ah I wonder why?"she said sarcastically.
"Oh Shut up, midget"
This made Rukia throw the box at her childhood friend .
"Oi! What the heck was that for?!"he yelled.
"Serves you right,pineapple!"
Renji was about to retort but,a Hell Butterfly fluttered in landing on the pale finger of Rukia.
"The Head Captain is requesting your presence,Lieutenant Kuchiki" It said .
The raven haired girl sighed. "Well I have to go "she said "See you later!"
When he arrived at 1st division,he was greeted by the petite shinigami .
"Captain Hitsugaya "
"Kuchiki?"
"You may enter"they heard the gruff voice belonging to the head captain . They entered.
"As you can see,there has been a numerous strange hollow reading in Karakura town." Rukia cringed at mention of the town.
"It seems to be a group of Menos Grande yet stronger. You and 4 other are to eliminate them."
"Yessir " they said in unison.
"That is all. Dismissed!"
Once the meeting was over ,both ice wielder walk out of 1st division together in silence. It stayed like that for a while,then Rukia decided to break the silence.
"Captain Hitsugaya,may I ask who you chose to come on the mission in the living world?"she asked out of the blue.
"That is none of your business, Kuchiki." he said bluntly.
"I Apologize, captain"
