Hinamori ignored the knocking on her door as she stared out into space. She was such a idiot... How could she have been so blinded?

"I trusted him..." she said softly to herself, not hearing the door to her bedroom open and close. "I trusted him with every fiber of my being..." She played with the ends of her hair, down out of her usual bun. It had been that way for at least a week, not even caring about it anymore. She only wore it that way because he liked it.

"I raised my zanpakuto to Kira-kun and Shiro-chan because of my trust and loyalty to him... I'm such a idiot!!"

Kira walked in silently with a frown; he hated it when she got like this. Whenever she was down, it was so hard to pick her back up. Usually, only Hitsugaya-taichou was able to do it. Mostly by making her fight with him. He closed his eyes for a second before deciding he should speak. "Hinamori-chan?"

Hinamori's head shot up in surprise. "Kira-kun, have... you been standing there long?"

"No... not very long," Kira answered, his voice soft.

"Just long enough..." Hinamori went back to staring at the wall. "I hate that he still has this hold over me Kira-kun... to keep making me blame myself..."

Kira looked down, letting his hands tangle in the sash at his waist. "Then... forget... Hinamori-chan," he whispered, his voice low.

"Have you?"

Kira swallowed before nodding slightly. "Slowly, I'm beginning to," he answered, honestly.

She wrapped her arms around her leg and mumbled, "I just feel so stupid. I admired him so much Kira... I trusted him completely. That's why it hurts so bad. It's like... if you had done it, it would hurt just as badly."

"I'm sorry, Hinamori-chan, there isn't much else I can say," Kira replied, even as he reached out to place a hand on her shoulder. What happened next surprised Kira. Hinamori's hand came up and rested over his.

"Just stay with me," she whispered. Her eyes, usually warm and happy, now pleading quietly to him.. "Please... Izuru."

Kira swallowed thickly and nodded, eyes looking back at her. "All right, Hinamori-chan. I won't let you be alone tonight."

Hinamori gave him a small smile, something that had been missing from her face since the whole thing began. "Thank you," she said, leaning against him, her eyes closing, exhaustion beginning to overtake her.

Kira shifted, till they were both laying on the bed, holding her close, even as his hands carefully caressed over her back. "Just rest and forget, Hinamori-chan. Forget it all."

Hinamori's breathing gently slowed until she was in a deep sleep, her body relaxing into the bed.

Kira sighed, holding her close, even as his eyes slowly began to close as well.. "Sleep... and just forget... Momo," he whispered, before he as well drifted off to sleep.
