Chapter One - Shironeko
Hitsugaya bought a cat.
It was white and fluffy and small. Its eyes were a piercing emerald green. For some reason, he felt attracted to it, though he didn't know why. And he got even more confused after he had mentioned this to Masumoto and she had burst out laughing.
When he had gone to the material world, Masumoto had literally dragged him to the shopping mall and forced him to buy a pet.
(Flashback)
"Eh, taichou, you have to buy a pet. You're too lonely. You really need some company. You've been stuck in the tenth division for weeks doing nothing but PAPERWORK. And apart from the occasional visits from Hinamori, you never smile at all." Masumoto whined.
"I'm perfectly happy the way I am, thank you. I have no need for a pet. Additionally, I would not be stuck doing paperwork all the time if you would get rid of your sake and stop slacking all the time." Hitsugaya headed towards the exit.
"Taihou, if you won't buy one, I'll force you to." Rangiku said. Hitsugaya ignored her and continued towards the exit. Masumoto narrowed her eyes. "Fine. Have it your way."
She marched forward and grabbed Hitsugaya's waist and slung him over her shoulder. "Hey! Put me down! As your superior, I order you to PUT ME DOWN!" Hitsugaya shouted angrily, beating Masumoto's back but it was in vain. Several people stared. One even asked, "Do you have trouble controlling your child?" This was of course, a huge mistake.
Hitsugaya's beating abruptly stopped. He looked up slowly and gave the unfortunate shopper his worst death glare. A vein was throbbing on his forehead. "What did you just say?" he said in a deadly quiet voice.
"Uh…uh…nothing…" The poor guy stammered. Then Hitsugaya said to Masumoto, "This is all your fault. Prepare yourself for the hugest stack of paperwork you have ever seen." Masumoto gulped but continued towards the pet store. Upon reaching, she plunked him down on the floor and avoided his gaze.
She needn't have bothered. He too was engrossed, staring at a cat with white fur. Seeing this, Masumoto beamed. "That settles it, then. Taichou, you're getting that cat."
"Wha…What?" Her voice snapped him out of his daze. "No! I don't need a pet…I'm fine as I am…" He protested feebly. But Masumoto was already pointing to the cat and talking rapidly to the shopkeeper. Hitsugaya buried his face in his hands and sighed.
(End Flashback)
That was how he had gotten a cat. And although he would never admit it to anyone, he was secretly glad that Masumoto had made him buy this cat.
The cat stared into his eyes and meowed. Hitsugaya smiled and cuddled it tight. The cat was one of the few things that he had ever thought was cute.
Then he thought: I should probably give it a name. So he named it. "From now on, I shall call you Shironeko.
