Hinamori sighed and tucked her feet in under her. It was getting colder suddenly, she'd noticed. Her hands tightened a bit around her cup of tea and she sighed, her breath visible. Hitsugaya was away in the mortal world on a mission, so why was it so cold? She sighed again... maybe it was time to go inside. No, she had decided already that keeping out of the office and away from Kira and Matsumoto was probably best. When Matsumoto had burst into her office midday with two bottles of sake and the obvious swaying of someone who had already drank half of one of those bottles, Hinamori had already known this would happen. Matsumoto had dropped one down on Hinamori's desk and declared something like: "To Taichou's mission and MY time off!" Since then she had been drinking and trying to get Hinamori to drink with her. What she didn't seem to understand was that Hinamori wasn't exactly excited that Hitsugaya wasn't around. When Kira had come she had practically kissed him for becoming Matsumoto new drinking partner. But, she had lost her office.
So as she heard Matsumoto yelling inside the building with Kira, declaring "Three more free days without Taichou!" She found herself sighing and saying, "Only three more days without Hitsugaya-kun."
Maybe she'd go to the tenth division office, at least there she'd be free of Matsumoto...
