Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach in any way! All copyrights of this series goes to Tite Kubo. The only thing I do own are my original characters, Hinamori Tatsuya, Hinamori Miyako, and Hayashi Tamotsu.

Synopsis: Alternate Ending Sequel Version of Secrets Untold. Takes place after the events of chapter eight. Ever since she said the words "I do", we have begun a journey in worlds apart. But for some reason, our paths have decided to cross once more.

Author's Note: Yeah, I did say before that I was going to write a sequel to the original story, Secrets Untold. However, I didn't like the original idea I was going with. It lacked a seriously good plot. So, after hours of thinking, drawing, and listening to some music, I have decided to start the story off after the events of chapter eight. What if Momo did say "I do" and got married to Hayashi Tamotsu? What would her and Hitsugaya's lives would be like if that were to happen? And don't forget the most important question: is their love for one another will die out? You just have to find out by reading chapter one. Enjoy!

Oh yes, it is recommended that you read chapters one through eight of Secrets Untold before you start reading this story. Special thanks goes to KnowledgeandImagination for encouraging me to start the Secrets Untold series and darklover for the suggestion. (Yes, I'm going to use it! xD) It is dedicated to all my supporting fans and all the HitsuHina fans out there!

Secrets Foretold

Chapter One: A World without You

"Do you take her as your wedded wife?" the pastor asked.

The guests who have come to this special event are eagerly waiting for the groom's answer. It is a big ceremony and everyone is invited.

"I do."

He then turned his attention to the young bride. "Do you take him as your husband?"

Family and close friends from both sides of the couple are here to witness this day. There are also the bodyguards who have been hired to protect them from any possible danger, the Gotei 13.

"Hinamori!"

Her chocolate brown eyes opened wide, recognizing the voice it belongs to. She slowly turned around to see her childhood friend suddenly standing here before her at the bottom of the steps.

"Hitsugaya-kun," Momo said, "you came."

"I l--" he suddenly stopped his words and then smiled at her. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Her soft sincere smile is returned likewise. She turned to the pastor and said her answer, "I do."

The final deal is made with both the groom and the bride kissing each other by the lips.

His emerald-teal eyes suddenly opened. Tenth division captain, Hitsugaya Toshiro has found himself sleeping on his desk in his office. He sat up and looked around. Judging by the large jug of sake sitting at the side, he must have been feeling depressed again. He then let out a sigh of defeat. "Momo..." he whispered.

It has been five months since he let her go. It has also been five months since he was exposed to sake just to wash his sorrows away. However, it never did work out. For those five passing months, he has remained in love with her.

"You're finally awake," said a voice. He turned his head to see his vice-captain, Matsumoto Rangiku sitting at the side table near the window. The white haired Shinigami then noticed she is working on the paperwork he was supposed to finish a while ago. She gave him a faint smile. "It looks like our roles have swapped for once."

"...yeah."

They were silent for a moment. "You should drop that drinking habit. It's not healthy for you especially when you still have ways to grow."

"I don't need you to lecture me about stuff like that," he retorted.

"You're right. I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's just...I only want what's best for you captain. Five months ago, you have made the choice to let Hinamori go back to live with her family and husband. Now, it's time for you to move on like she did."

"How ironic, weren't you the one who wanted us to be together in the first place?"

"Don't get the wrong idea," Matsumoto said, "I still think you and Hinamori should be lovers, but this is reality: she is married to that noble, Hayashi Tamotsu. Unless she returns your sediments the same way and intends to do something about it, your relationship with her will always remain the same as close friends and siblings. As sad as it sounds, I just can't stand to see you depressed like that any longer. The issue is eating you up from the inside. I hope you're able to overlook this and move on with your life."

"I don't know if I can..." he admitted.

Matsumoto watched the depressed captain and let out a sigh of defeat. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think...it's time for you to consider dating another woman. It will help keep your mind off of her. If you're lucky, you might fall for that girl instead and then you'll be able to get the happy ending you always wanted."

Hitsugaya then left his seat and headed towards the slide door. Just as he opened it, the captain whispered to her, "It is easier said than done Matsumoto."

With his words said out in the open, he left the office. The strawberry orange haired woman let out a small sigh. Placing her elbow on the table, she rested her chin on her hand. "He's definitely one lost cause," her zanpakuto partner, Haineko said as she suddenly made her appearance by sitting across from her. "He's bound to become a hermit when he grows up if he continues to sulk that way."

"Yeah," she agreed. "I just still can't believe taicho suddenly decided to let her go like that. He is only a mere inches away from stealing and running away with her in his arms. He obviously loves her."

"There's no way around it now Obaa-san, he's going to have to live with it," she said. "There's no use in helping him now."

Her clear pale blue eyes then turned to her bold true green ones. Matsumoto stared at Haineko. "Stop calling me Obaa-san already you stupid cat."

The feline folded her arms over her chest and glared back. "I'm not a baka neko! You, on the other hand, I think the name suits you."

"I think you must be sadly mistaken me for some other woman."

"Uruse."

"You shut up Obaa-san!"

"Baka neko!"

If only he realized it sooner: his feelings for his childhood friend. Then, he would be able to do something like stop the wedding by confessing his love for her. However, all that didn't matter anymore. Former fifth division vice-captain of the Gotei 13, Hinamori Momo is not here anymore. As a matter of fact, she went back to the world where she was born to live with her husband and her parents just as he suggested. "Master Toshiro, I do believe what your vice-captain has said maybe right," said an echoing voice. "I too don't want you to become wasted like that. It's not healthy for you."

Hitsugaya looked at the dragon zanpakuto spirit materialize from behind the sofa. Right now, he is at home near his division headquarters, dwelling on the events in the past. "Maybe you should try dating another woman," Hyorinmaru suggested, "to keep your friend out of your mind."

He gave a small snort. He is obsessed with her, the raven haired girl. In his eyes, she is the most beautiful woman ever to stand in Soul Society. He missed her. He missed her a lot. That is not good at all.

Three months ago, he told himself that he is going to be alright. To prove that, he managed to maintain morality and bid her farewell before she left.

"Thanks for coming. I really am glad you're able to show up," Momo said as she suddenly pulled her childhood friend into a deep embrace.

Sparks ran through his veins once she made contact with him. It urged him to lose control and kiss her senseless. However, he managed to hold it back to a point where he is able to return his sediments likewise. He hugged her back. "I-It's the least I could do. Besides, we're friends, right?"

She then nodded with agreement. "Yeah, we are and will always be."

"Momo-chan, it's time for us to leave," Hayashi called out.

"Hai!" she called back. The raven haired girl then resumed her full attention to the younger Shinigami. "Well, this is it."

"Keep in touch Hinamori."

Momo gave him a warm smile and nodded with agreement. "Of course, I'll do my best to visit you whenever I have the time."

"Ja ne."

"Good bye Hitsugaya-taicho."

He thought it was easy, but it turns out to be a lot harder than that. Thoughts about the girl haven't left his mind at all despite not seeing her. Even now, Hitsugaya still has trouble trying to keep his sanity in check. It is as if she just died. "Hitsugaya-taicho...she finally addressed me correctly. ," he said. "However, I wanted her to call me...Shiro-chan again."

He then heard a thundering noise. The young captain turned his head to see the dark nighttime scenery outside from the window. It started raining heavily. "Even the weather feels the same way."

All of a sudden, there is a knock on the front door. "Master Toshiro, someone's outside," Hyorinmaru said.

Leaving his seat from the sofa, the young Shinigami walked over to the front entrance. "It's probably some messenger from our division or even a drunk Matsumoto," he mumbled as he opened the slide door.

Immediately, he just froze on the spot. Standing there in front of him, all drenched in rain, is a friend he thought that may never return to his life at all. He remembered it all: her cute and innocent physique, her chocolate brown eyes, and her raven coloured hair.

"Hinamori..."

Author's Note: Hehe, shocked of how the story's going? Yeah, I completely understand if you're pissed off at me and would want to throw a bunch of random objects at me, but...I had to write a story with a decent and motivating plot. Things will get interesting as the later chapters go by. In the meantime, please review! I want to know what you think of it. Thanks!
