Another fic about my fave character: HITSUGAYA TOUSHIRO! Okay, anyway, hope you enjoy. I really love this pairing. :D

The door opened. Hitsugaya entered as everyone stared at him coming in.

"You're late, tenth squad captain, Hitsugaya Toushiro." The Captain Commander said, frowning. "Again." He added, with his anger controlled, when Hitsugaya rolled his eyes.

Histugaya shrugged. "Can't help it, can I?" He said as he took his position.

Yamamoto glared at him angrily. It had been his fifth time late for a captain meeting. At first he forgave that little boy as he had always been a responsible captain and had never been late for any sort of meeting. Never.

And now he had been late for five consecutive meetings, and his attitude had changed.

And nobody knows why.

The rest of the captains stared at Hitsugaya as he sashayed into his position, casting an aura of I-hate-everyone-of-you-here-so-please-get-lost with his eyes. Whether they knew that boy personally or not, they all disliked this new Hitsugaya.

"What's wrong with him?" "No idea." "PMS?" "For five weeks? No way!" "PMS's for girls you idiot." "Maybe he got dumped by his girlfriend or something." "Hitsugaya, having a girlfriend? You kidding?" "Shh, don't say so loudly!" "He can't hear us…"

Hitsugaya glared at them. "I can hear you fuckin' clearly, so shut your trap."

Silence.

Everyone stopped talking, and focused on the meeting. After all, it was the first time somebody ever heard Hitsugaya saying such vulgar words with such disdain. It was quite a shock.

"I do not permit uncivilised language in the room." Yamamoto emphasised, eyeing Hitsugaya. His eye twitched in annoyance when he saw him rolling his eyes and mouthing 'fuck'.

"Let's start with our meeting then." He said, deciding to ignore Hitsugaya. "First let's start with the arrangement of…"

"Riiiiing!"

Everyone turned their heads towards Hitsugaya. They watched as Hitsugaya picked up his phone and answered it.

"Yo…yeah…nothin' much, just having a boring meeting…shouldn't take too long, if not I'll just barge out of here…oh, it's alright, it isn't that important…yeah they can't do anything to me for picking phones…yeah…yeah sure…captain work? I don't have any…Don't bother doing anyway…yeah…okay…see you…bye."

Hitsugaya hung up the phone. He raised his head, meeting everybody's eyes. "What?" He asked defiantly.

Yamamoto grabbed his stick (whatever you call it) to stop from trembling to hard. He said, with a highly controlled voice. "It has been stated since ten thousand years ago that phones are not allowed into the captain room…"

"It's an emergency call." He said, brushing the matter off.

Okay, enough is enough. The old man can't take it anymore.

"Hitsugaya Toushiro!" His voice boomed in the room, shocking everyone in the room. Everyone, that is, except Hitsugaya. "I cannot comprehend the reason for you suddenly changing your attitude. When I chose you as a captain, I chose you because you have shown me your abilities as a great, responsible leader. If you continue treating the captain meetings this way, or even treating your squad the way you treat them now, you do not have any reason to be a captain anymore!"

Hitsugaya shrugged. "Fine, sack me then. I don't mind."

That old man completely lose it. "Jyushiro, Kyoraku! Drag him away! I do not want to see him anymore!"

The two captains just stood there, stunned. They stared at the child captain that they were supposed to drag out, and refused to move.

Hitsugaya saw no one trying to drag him out. So he shrugged and he left in his own accords.

XxXxX

"This is the end of the captain's meeting." Yamamoto said. They continued their captain's meeting as usual after all the drama. Though they did took quite some time settling down, with agitated captains busily discussing about what's wrong with the small kid. "But I do wish to add a new agenda for today."

"Let me guess, it has something to do with Captain Hitsugaya, right?" Kyoraku said.

"He is not a captain anymore; I will officially strip his post off." Yamamoto said.

"I don't find it fair." Unohana said, peering at Yamamoto through her gentle eyes. "I think Hitsugaya-Taicho must be going through puberty, and he has no parents to teach him the right way while his body is going through changes, so I don't think it's his fault that he's like that."

"But it's not possible for someone to change that much so immediately." Byakuya commented, he himself quite pissed at Hitsugaya's attitude.

"Yes, I have to agree his case is a bit extreme, but I think we should give him a chance. Maybe after this stage of life is over, he would be back to normal."

"If his case is a bit extreme, don't you think there should be other factors as well?" Jyushiro suggested. "You know, I know Captain Hitsugaya quite well, I think…well, I think, if he's going through puberty, maybe he liked someone, he, being the shy type, cannot confess, so he's kind of…erm, pissed off?"

"So him pissed off is making us pissed off too? That's so unreasonable." Soi Fon said.

"There may be lots of other reasons, but I think this liking a girl thing is always the main cause."

"Haha can't believe that strict little boy will like a girl!" Kyoraku exclaimed.

"Well, he changed his attitude. Maybe it is to fit the ideal guy of the girl?"

"Che, don't get what you're all arguing about. I like his attitude." Zaraki said simply.

"Maybe he just turns defiant." Komamura said. "Teenagers do that for no apparent reason."

The discussion goes on quite a bit. After all, Hitsugaya was the youngest Captain, even as a Shinigami, he's considered young. Soul society never had this problem at all.

Yamamoto could feel his eyes twitching. This meeting is going nowhere. Everyone is just speculating. "Can you please talk only, if you have a good information?"

The whole room calmed down.

"I know the girl that I think Hitsugaya has an interest on." Kurotsuchi said suddenly, chuckling a bit.

"Who?" Everyone focused their attention on Kurotsuchi.

"Well, recently, he had been rather rude and…unfriendly to everyone. Everyone except somebody, which our investigating team has found out: his lieutenant."

"Matsumoto?"

Even the Captain Commander dropped his jaw.

Impossible…

P.S. "Kurotsuchi-san, why on Earth would you investigate on something like this?"

XxXxX

Matsumoto looked around nervously. She is a vice-captain, so this is the first time she is called into the Captain Commander's room. Man, it's so big, so spacious, the size this room already making her nervous.

She had been called to meet with the Captain Commander, and she had no idea why. She had been dutifully (in her way…) doing her jobs, and she never caused troubles (except to some guys…), and she is respectful to all her higher-ups (I think…), so why is she called upon?

It's the Captain Commander! The Captain Commander! Only captains are allowed to talk to him, and she's only a vice-captain!

Man, hope nothing serious happened…

The door opened. Yamamoto walked in. Matsumoto immediately bowed.

"I'll excuse all formalities just for today's discussion." Yamamoto said, sitting down casually. "It's really important."

Matsumoto stood up uncertainly. What is it that is so important? "Thank you, Captain Commander Yamamoto. So…why did you call me?"

"It's about your Captain."

"Hitsugaya-taicho? What about him?"

Now talking about it, Captain did act pretty weirdly nowadays. The whole pile of paperwork that he would normally do finish in a flash of an eye are still left on the table, undone. Well, she thought that he finally knew how to relaxed, so she was okay with it.

What she didn't understand was why Hitsugaya seemed to ignore everyone. Previously, no matter how irritating everyone is, he won't scold that hard and leave just like that. Even when Hinamori came he acted like he hated her for being here.

But she pushed that problem away. Maybe Hinamori somehow insulted Captain. He's still quite normal towards me. (:

So, yeah, what about him?

"Recently, his attitude towards his job, his personality, well, actually, everything has changed for the worse." Yamamoto said. "You did notice, right?"

"Well, yeah, he kinda changed…" Matsumoto said. But it isn't much…maybe it's because of the undone paperwork. He had better start doing. It's the first time Matsumoto actually worried about doing paperwork.

"Well, we want to know why he's been like that, and we are tasking you to find out for us, since he's your captain. Something might have happened to him, he might be going through puberty, whatever, since he's a child, I shall forgive him for that. But, the reason must be found and he must be changed, or else I'll just sack him from his post." Yamamoto said seriously.

What? Sack Hitsugaya-taicho? She will never allow that. She herself recruited him, how can he be sacked just like this?

"How should I find out the reason?"

"Captain Unohana said that maybe you could try and counsel him, and try persuading him write a diary, or story, or anything. She said something about teenagers his age will need to vent their anger somewhere, so they might throw their feelings out into a diary. Then you will read it. Of course, you must not tell him that you are going to read it. Then, from his diary deduce the reason, and report it directly to me."

Matsumoto blinked in confusion. What was that? How do I do that?

"Understand?"

"…Yes…sir." No I don't understand one bit at all! Man this sucks…

"You may leave now."

"Thank you."

Matsumoto left, scratching her head. How is she going to get Hitsugaya to write a diary? Writing a diary is so stupid even she doesn't do that!

This is so weird…
