It's my first fanfic and English is not my mother tongue so please review!!

50 years had passed since the death of Aizen, and things had returned in the order in Soul Society. Kira had been put in load of the 3rd division, Hisagi of the 9th division, and Matsumoto had been promoted captain of the 5th division. Hinamori Momo had never succeeded in regaining confidence in her after the betrayal of Aisen and had left the gotei 13. She had accepted a post of professor at the School of Shinigami and taught mainly the kido.

By a beautiful morning of the beginning of the summer, Hinamori was called at the office of the director while arriving at the school.

"Hinamori-sensei, I decided to invite a captain from the gotei 13 in your group of first years, so that he can share his experience with them. We don't know yet which captain is going to come but he or she will be attending your class tomorrow afternoon."

Meanwhile in the districts of the gotei 13, Yamamoto had just informed Kuchiki that he would have to meet a group of first years, which is under the responsibility of Hinamori Momo. He knew, like much Shinigami of the gotei 13, about the relation between her and the captain of the 10th division, Hitsugaya Toushirou. He also knew that they had seldom seen each other since the death of Aisen. Kuchiki was not much interested in having a chat with the new recruits of the School of Shinigami. He went in the districts of the 10th division and asked a favor to the young captain.

"I was asked to meet a group of students of the School of Shinigami tomorrow but I have a something else planned in my schedule. I would appreciate it if you would go instead of me."

"I'm busy too, I have paperwork to do. Is there anyone else who's free?" said Hitsugaya.

"Unfortunately, no. However, Hitsugaya-taichou, you should learn to delegate some part of your work to your subordinates. The paperwork can wait, it's not like you'll get scold if you do not do it in time." replied Kuchiki.

After a speech from Kuchiki about the importance of sharing their experiences with the next generation of shinigami, Hitsugaya finally accepted to replace him.

He was not either interested to meet these students. He was not one to like to get involved with people, but he was always concerned about his comrades and was always first to go and take care of the problems. He had become a respected captain for his sense of justice, his patience (he had worked on with Matsomoto as his vice-captain) and his consideration for others. He was still known to be cold, but it didn't affect his popularity towards the girls. He had grown a lot during the 50 last years; he was now as tall as Matsumoto. His look didn't have changed since he had been promoted captain. He had the same haircut and the same serious look in his aqua eyes, but his face had lengthened and his jaw had widened.

Hitsugaya arrived in the outside training area during lunchtime, nearly twenty minutes before the beginning of the class. It was the beginning of the summer but it was already hot for this period of the season. Sat on the edge of the terrace, his jacket of captain hung with his belt, his kimono half-opened down to his waist let appear his muscular body. Sweat beaded along its temples. He would have liked to use Hyorinmaru to refresh himself but he did not want to draw the attention.

At this moment, students arrived in the training area and saw the white haired young man.

"Hey! Who are you? You are not allowed being here. This place is reserved only to the students of the School of Shinigami ", said a first student.

"Look, he wears the uniform of Shinigami. He must surely accompany the captain who's coming today. You believe that he is his vice-captain?" said a second student.

"I don't think it's possible, retorted the first, he is barely older than us, and one does not become so young vice-captain. Anyway, the vice-captains wear a badge."

"Excuse me, are you really a shinigami?" asked a girl.

"Yeah, so what?" answered the captain.

"So, it would be interesting to have a spare with a sempai." said the first student again.

"I'm not interested." said Hitsugaya, still not moving from the position he was when the small group arrived.

"What? How come you've become a shinigami and you're not interested in fights?"

He approached the captain, but before he could reach him, he slipped and felt on the floor. While trying to get up, he realized that he had slipped on a plate of ice and felt down once more on the floor. He lifted his head and saw Hitsugaya now standing in front of him.

"If you ever get in the gotei 13, you'll learn that people become shinigami for many different reasons." said Hitsugaya "There are 12 divisions in the gotei 13 and you're placed in a division in regard of your interests and your competences. I'll tell you that most of the shinigami with the same thinking as you are in the 11th division. However, I would like to know your name."

"Why?" said the young man.

"There is an unspoken rule within the shinigami that commands to present yourself when you intend to fight someone you don't know. Moreover, I want to make sure to add your name in my black list so that a bragger like you doesn't come in MY division." said coldly the white haired man with a evil grin on his face (niark XD).

From the look of his puzzled face, the student did not seem to get what the young captain had just said. Other students from the group were entering the training area for the beginning of the class and started gathering around the two young men. At this moment, Hinamori arrived in the now noisy place and saw the group gathered.

"What is happening here? Is the captain already arrived?" she asked.

She tried to find a way through the group and then saw the white haired captain.

"Hitsugaya-kun? Is it you? Oh my god! You have changed so much! I barely recognized you!" said Hinamori.

Hitsugaya's heart pounded in his chest as he saw Hinamori. He had not seen her since she left the gotei 13. Seeing her reminded him how he missed her so much. She was wearing a plum-colored shinigami kimono, her hair was now tied up in a loose pigtail in the bottom of her back, and a wick was running down her left temper to her collar. She seemed more relaxed than after Aizen's death. Her panda's eyes was now gone but she was as frail as she was 50 years ago.

"Ah, Hitsugaya-kun, why are you here?" asked Hinamori. "Oh, were you the one who was send for the meeting?" asked Hinamori

Before he could answer, she grabbed his arm and dragged him next to her in front of the group.

"Everyone let me introduce to you Hitsugaya Toushirou, the captain of the 10th division. Right?" she said turning to Hitsugaya.

"Yeah, nice to meet you" he replied, looking as if he was lost in his thoughts.

While he was fixing his kimono and putting back his captain jacket, the students got agitated as they realized the current situation.
