Chapter 2: Waiting

Paroling in Karakura Town as the 10th division captain stays alert in the high skies as his division patrols the ground. Soft breezes blow as his long white bangs brush away from his face and his turquoise scarf sailed in the wind softly. Taking a soft sigh he reaches for his cell phone from his robes and flips it open as he checks his message box…

-NO NEW MESSAGES-

Eyes filled with disappointment as he reads the previous messages he sent, it's been two weeks since her childhood friend called him that night and the messages stopped. It was worse than before…

"Bed wetter, thanks for the call that night. –Toshiro."

"Guess it's been really busy over there. There isn't much going on here. –Toshiro."

There was no reply from his childhood friend as he was about to send another message but stopped himself. 'She must be just busy…' He remembered her voice; she seemed to be troubled about something.

The 10th division vice-captain shumpo near her captain "Taicho." Hitsugaya closed his phone as he tucked it away in his robes "All clear?"

"Hai! Everything seems fine, less and less hollows are appearing everyday now" Matsumoto smiled. "Good, that's how it should be…" Hitsugaya said.

"Wonder when we'll be able to go back home…Right, Taicho?" she smirked, she knew her captain had been holding onto his phone as if he cherished it with all his heart. Secretly messaging his childhood friend and the times he would re-read all the messages they sent to each other.

Sometimes, she would catch a small glimpse of her captain smiling as he texted her or when he received a message, he would quickly flip open his cell phone and read it as if there was hollow in the area.

It was all too clear he wanted to go back home to see her, the one person that would make him feel and act this way. The distance between them was slowly becoming unbearable for him…

"Nhhg! " Scratching out her arms towards the sky "Taicho, it's time for lunch. I'm going to Orihime's place to grab some lunch, she's making wasabi chocolate tofu stew!"

Hitsugaya looked at her with a disguised expression "…How could you possible eat that?"

"What!? You should try it Taicho, its super good!" she shrugged "who knows it might make you grow!" A large red vain popped from his forehead as he stood there with his arms crossed "Oh?" he said in a sarcastic tone of voice "You really want me to add a few more days on your 'ban from drinking'...Right?"

Matsumoto shirked as she looked at her captain become the devil himself "I-I-I Was j-just joking, Taicho! Ehehe..." she giggled nervously. She already had enough days on her 'ban from drinking' she couldn't offer anymore days or else it'll be a year.

Hitsugaya sighed "…Dismiss the squad, there's nothing for us to do but still be on alert for hollows."

"Yes captain!" the short wavy strawberry blond replied and left the captain. He stood there alone with the soft breezing blowing"I guess I'll go back to kurosaki's" quickly shumpo away.

Reaching his destination, the captain arrived inside Kurosaki's room to find his mod body waiting for and bowed towards the captain "welcome back master." The mod body was dressed in dark jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt.

"Thank you" Quickly, Hitsugaya went inside his body as he removed the mod pill out of his mouth and placed it in his robes. Leaving the room, he went down the stairs to find Ichigo and rukia watching TV on the dining table.

Ichigo turned his head "Yo Toshiro, how was the patrol?" Hitsugaya sat down on the chair with his arms crossed "same as always…"

"Hey, when are you going back huh?" Ichigo asked, Hitsugaya shrugged wishing he knew as well. One of Kurosaki's sister came out from the kitchen with plates of food "Thank you for waiting!" as she placed down the plate of curry.

"Finally, I'm so hungry!" Ichigo said he started to eat. Izuru placed a plate in front of Hitsugaya "here you go, Karin's boyfriend!"

"It's not like that!" Hitsugaya snapped as Karin yelled at the exact same time. Hitsugaya turned around with a soccer ball in her hand "he's just a friend, Izuru!" giving a annoyed expression towards her sister.

"I know, but he is a boy and your friend so…It's a Boy-Friend!" she giggled as they both had a red vein popping from their forehead. Karin sat down next to Hitsugaya waiting for her food to come as well "Hey Toshiro, want to play some soccer after lunch?"

"No" he replied coldly as he chewed his food. "Tsk, you used to always play…What came and bit you in the butt?!" Karin snapped. Hitsugaya ignoring the young sister as he continued to eat his lunch quietly, he reached for his phone and quickly checked and placed it back in his robes.

"You really are glued to that phone. Do you have a game you're playing on it or something?" Karin asked. "No, it's my job…That's why I'm here" taking a drink of water from his cup.

"Gosh so serious…" Karin just shrugged, after the group finished eat their lunch Ichigo and Rukia was in the living room watching TV. Hitsugaya was out in the back looking at his phone as Karin was practicing soccer in the backyard.

Leaning against the house, he looked at the phone screen in his phone book was highlighted "Bed-Wetter Momo" CALL? YES or NO?

His thumb was placed on the yes but hesitant to press it. Looking at the screen, he didn't move an inch 'why bother? She isn't sitting by the computer anyways…Or else she would have messaged me.'

Suddenly a soccer ball flew towards him as he caught with one hand without looking. Holding the soccer ball, Hitsugaya glared towards Karin who kicked the ball towards him on purpose.

He simply tossed it back as he looking back on his phone. Picking up the soccer ball "Tsk, you're really boring Toshiro! Just going to keep looking at that phone all day!? Try to have some fun!" Karin said as she continued to play with the soccer ball "You know, you act like an old man but you still are a little kid!"

A large vain popped from his forehead "How long are you going to keep thinking that?!" he snapped "I'm not a KID!"

"Listen you..." Glaring at the black haired girl as he closed his phone shut "When are you going to stop bugging me to play soccer with you? Ask your friends to-"

-Ding ding!-

Hitsugaya's voice stopped as he heard his phone. Quickly flipping it open, he saw the screen…

-ONE NEW MESSAGE-

Opening his message box, he saw a message from his childhood friend.

"I was busy. Sorry… –Momo"

It was a simple and short answer as Hitsugaya quickly replied knowing she was on the computer. Pressing the buttons quickly as possible before she got off the computer.

"I see…At least you're taking care of yourself, right? –Toshiro"

Shortly, another message popped up.

"Yes. I need to go. –Momo"

He looked at the message 'What? Already?' disappointed that their conversation was too short. Looking at the phone he knew something was wrong as he quickly sent another message…

"Momo…Is something wrong? –Toshiro"

Hinamori sitting on the chair looking at the computer screen. Her hands on the keyboard but removed them away as she looked away. Hesitate to reply she began to fiddle with her hands, another message popped up from the screen.

"Momo? –Toshiro"

He messaged her as Hinamori looked at the message. 'Momo, just reply! He's going to get worried…' Hinamori placed her hands on the keyboard and began to type…

"Nothing is wrong, don't worry…I really need to go, there is a vice-captain meeting. -Momo"

"Oh okay, I'll talk to you later? –Toshiro"

Hitsugaya looked at his for as ten minutes pasted. No reply as he slowly closed his phone 'She must have missed the last message…' He tucked his phone back in his pocket and stood up to go back inside the house.

Karin watched the young captain walk back in the house as she kissed her teeth "Seriously...What the hell is so important with that phone!?" Bouncing the soccer ball on her kneels, she couldn't help think about how mad he was at her and the second his phone received a message- he completely changed as he forgotten that she was even there.

The soccer ball dropped on the grass as Karin looked at the ball 'I need to see what's inside that phone!'

Matsumoto returned from Orihime's house and was watching TV with Ichigo and Rukia who had their eyes glued. "Ah Taicho, there you are!" she smiled as she was messaging on her phone as well.

Hitsugaya sat near his vice-captain and watched some TV as well. He heard Matsumoto snickering as she pressed keys on her phone. "Hey Taicho, have you talked with Momo-chan!?" she smiled as her captain sat there without a reply.

"No? Well, Nemu has been working on soul phone, I can't wait to get one too when I get back!" Matsumoto said as Hitsugaya turned his head "…Soul phone?"

Matsumoto looking at her phone while she was messaging "Yep! She's been working on it for the women's association and testing it out with Nanao-chan and Momo-chan! See look, Nemu took a picture of Momo-chan!"

She showed her screen to her captain "See, it works exactly like a human cell phone! Can even send pictures, here's one that Nemu took when she was testing it out!"

Hitsugaya looked as his eyes widen, it's been months seeing his childhood friend that he first couldn't recognize her. Her hair was no longer in a bun but a short bob with her beautiful neck line showing. She was beautiful, his heart was skipping beats looking at the picture.

He sat there staring as Matsumoto smirked and quickly closed the phone in front of him. Hitsugaya snapped back into reality as Matsumoto smiled "Yep, Momo-chan should be getting her own phone soon now!"

"Her own...?" The words ringing inside his head knowing his childhood friend was going to get her own phone was a game changer for him. Now he could call her and message her directly rather than waiting for her to get on the computer. Things were going to be definitely different..
