Comforting Love
Part 1-Confessions
Hinamori: Ranginku-san, Are you finished?
Matsumoto: Yeah, I am coming.
Hinamori: Does it really take you that long to finish 5 pieces of paperwork? I mean Hitsugaya-kun is the one who does "all" of the work.
Matsumoto: Oi! Hinamori-chan that's mean. I still help my taichou.
Hinamori: Yeah, Yeah but now were gonna be late for the vice-captains meeting.
Matsumoto: Well. We can just let Kira update us on the info.
Hinamori: Mou. That's mean.
(Matsumoto changing the subject to safe herself)
Matsumoto: So have you told taichou yet?
Hinamori: Huh? O.o
Matsumoto: Oi. Come on Hinamori-chan don't tell me you haven't told him. Or that you don't understand what am saying cause I know you do.
(Hinamori blush)
Hinamori: I don't know how to tell him though.
Matsumoto: Don't worry I know "exactly" what to do.
(Hinamori thinks about what Renji and Kira had told her before about Matsumoto. Even though they are totally unaware of Hinamori's feelings for Hitsugaya.)
Hinamori: Umm… Abarai-kun, Kira-kun. Can I ask you guys something?
Renji: Hmmm?
Kira: Go ahead.
Hinamori: Well there's this problem am having, but I don't know who to talk to about it, and I was wondering if you guys could tell me who to go to.
Kira: Well, why don't you just tell us?
Hinamori: …… well.. Ummm
Renji: Spit it out already.
Hinamori: It's a girl problem.
Renji and Kira: ……. (BLUSH madly)
(Hinamori notices their red faces)
Hinamori: Mou! It's not what you "think". I just need advice.
Kira&Renji: Oh… (Sweat drop)
Hinamori: I was thinking of asking Rangiku-san.
Kira: No, no, NO!
Hinamori: Huh? O.o
Renji: You must "never" ask her for advice.
Hinamori: Why not?
Renji&Kira: She'll lead you to something bad, trust me.
Hinamori: Ummm… I don't understand what your saying but we should get to the vice-captains meeting.
(With that they went to the meeting. End of flashback)
Matsumoto: Oi! Hinamori-chan Are you okay? O.o
Hinamori snaps out of it: Huh? Umm yeah I am.
Matsumoto: Well. Anyways I have to head back to my division. I'll tell you what I need you to do later. Okay?
Hinamori: Okay. Bye.
(Matsumoto waves)
(Back at the tenth division. Hitsugaya is working on paperwork as usual)
Hitsugaya thinking to himself: Where did that baka Matsumoto go to?
(Matsumoto arrives)
Hitsugaya: Just in time. Finish these off.
(Matsumoto ignores his command)
Matsumoto: Taichou. Today at noon could you please meet me at the sunset hill.
Hitsugaya: Why so?
Matsumoto: Just do it please.
Hitsugaya: Fine. Now finish these papers!
Matsumoto: Ah! I just remembered I have something I need to do.
(Hitsugaya's pissed)
Hitsugaya: Yes. And it is right "here" in my hand.
Matsumoto: No, no. I have to go now bye.
Hitsugaya: MATSUMOTO!
(Matsumoto was heading back to Hinamori to tell her what she wanted her to do. Hinamori and Matsumoto were just walking around the headquarters of the 10th division. As Hitsugaya was approaching them.)
Matsumoto: Oh! Hello taichou! (waves)
(Hitsugaya sighs. Hinamori just blushes and looks away. Hitsugaya stares at Hinamori.)
Hitsugaya? Hinamori. (nods)
Hinamori shyly: Umm.. Hi Hitsugaya-kun.
Hitsugaya: ….. ?. Matsumoto if you need to go somewhere then you shouldn't be here in the 10th division headquarters. Now go back!
Matsumoto: Alright, Alright! (sigh) whispers: what a pain.
(Meanwhile Matsumoto heads back. Hinamori and Hitsugaya are standing in silence)
Hitsugaya thinks to himself: Is Hinamori always this quiet?
Hinamori thinks to herself: What should I do? I can't tell him now. Cause Rangiku-san told me to not tell him not until later.
Hitsugaya: Oi! Hinamori?
Hinamori: Hmmm? (still looking away. Blushing)
Hitsugaya: Got anything to do?
Hinamori: ummm…no.
Hitsugaya: Come let's walk.
Hinamori? Okay….
(Hitsugaya leads her to the Rukongai. To no else than..)
Hinamori: O.O Hitsugaya this is…
Hitsugaya: Yeah.. This is where we used to live. Remember?
Hinamori: Yup I remember. I still do come here when I need to think or just need somewhere to relax.
Hitsugaya: ……..
(They talked about the past and how much things had changed at their old house)
Hitsugaya: Yeah.. I remember.
Hinamori: Umm.. What time is it?
Hitsugaya: It's 11:35am
(Hinamori and Hitsugaya both had somewhere to go)
Hinamori: oh-no umm Hitsugaya-kun I have to go somewhere bye!(runs)
Hitsugaya: Oi! Thinks: Yeah I have somewhere to go to. Baka Matsumoto.
(Hitsugaya had made it to the cliff)
Hitsugaya looks at his watch: 11:57am that baka Matsumoto is gonna be late again.
(He leans against a tree. Hitsugaya is then aware of a cracking sound and turns his head)
Hitsugaya: O.O ? Hinamori?
Hinamori: …………..Ummm.. Rangiku-san..
Hitsugaya: I see. Matsumoto called you here to eh?
(Hinamori blushes and thinks to herself: I have to do this now.)
Hinamori: Umm…
Hitsugaya: Is this your first time coming here?
Hinamori: Yes. It is…
Hitsugaya: It's a nice place. To view the sunset.
Hinamori : Ummm…
(Hitsugaya stares at Hinamori)
Hinamori: I…(blushes)
Hitsugaya?
Hinamori: I…I.. I like you! Please accept my feelings!
Hitsugaya: O.O !
(Hitsugaya thinks to himself: No wonder she was being so different around me these days.)
(His eyes go back to it's regular form)
Hitsugaya: …… Umm.. Hina-mori..I..
(Hinamori then covers her mouth. Still covering her mouth she says)
Hinamori; I am really sorry! I didn't…. (turns around and runs)
(Hitsugaya then reaches out to her but just watches her run.)
Flashback: Hitsugaya pictures images of how Hinamori used to be smiling and cheerful, but now he could tell that she was in pain because he never responded to her.
(For the next few days Hinamori had been avoiding Hitsugaya. He had seen her at the 5th headquarters and the 10th but every time Hinamori saw Hitsugaya she would just turn the other way)
(One day Hitsugaya had been looking for Hinamori, but he couldn't find her. Turns out she had been in Matsumoto's room and just stayed there to talk and avoid Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya had found out. So he had grabbed her wrist and dragged her out)
Hitsugaya: Come with me.
Matsumoto: Oi! Taichou!
Hitsugaya: If you let me do this. I won't let you do paper work for 3 days.
(Matsumoto of course agreed)
Hinamori: Rangiku-san! Mou!
(Hinamori hadn't said a word to Hitsugaya while he dragged her all the way back to the cliff where she had confessed)
(When they got there. He let go of her wrist, she backed away holding her wrist with wide eyes. She was afraid.
(Hinamori just stared at Hitsugaya with wide frightening eyes)
Hitsugaya: Hina…mori… I have something important to tell you. Hina-mori..
Hinamori covered her ears: I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it. I don't want to be hurt anymore…I don't care if you hate me. But.. if you say it.. I..
(Hitsugaya was walking up to her now)
Hinamori: No..
Hitsugaya: Hina..mori.. I am sorry. I.. like.. you. Please accept my feelings.
(Hinamori opened her eyes and turned to him)
Hitsugaya: Since what happened before.. I would do anything to change that now. If I could.
Hinamori: It doesn't matter.. Because you finally told me your feelings. It doesn't matter.
(Hitsugaya reached for her and embraced her. Then he put his hands on her shoulders, she covered over his hands with hers and closed her eyes. They both went in for their first kiss.)
