TinaTuna: Thank you for your review! Yes, I make my own covers for all of my stories! Usually I find these on the internet and start arranging them around to look good. For this cover, it's actually two different images combined together! XD That hand isn't actually Hitsugaya's, It's a different image I found with the mask! I just edit it to match the color and blend it together so it looks like one full image, cool right? It's an hobby I have :)

Chapter 2: Mask

'Augh…' laying on the floor, he slowly got up on his knees and his palms flat on the wooden floor. 'What in the world happened…' Hitsugaya slowly regaining his conscious as he stood up, he felt something different…

He felt something was on his face; slowly he touched his face and felt something hard. His eyes widen as he took both hands and touched around his face. It was covering his whole face as Hitsugaya soon began to panic.

"What the hell is this!?" Realizing it was a mask over his face. Hitsugaya pulled with all his strength of the mask as it started to creak. Breaking the piece of the mask off his left side eye, he saw the pieces of the mask as it started to liquify.

Soon, the liquid returned back onto his face and self-regenerating the broken mask to its original form. "This can't be happening…!" he struggled to take off the mask once more, every time he would break off a piece of the mask it would return back to his face.

Soon realizing it was the chocolate he ate, Hitsugaya looked at the package if there was something to reverse the spell. Looking inside there was another small parchment note

He quickly took the note and read it….

Dear Hitsugaya Taicho,

Congratulations! You've been chosen to be one of the mysterious masked animals for tonight Valentine's Day event! Hopefully you've ate the chocolate alone without anyone seeing your mask. Come to the 13th division if you wish to know how to remove the mask! See you soon!

The 13th division captain, Ukitake Jushiro

Hitsugaya stared at the note with darken eyes, the note froze and shattered in his hands as the ice shards fell on the floor. "You got to be kidding me…"

He placed a hand on the mask that he was wearing and walked towards a mirror. He saw himself wearing a white wolf mask over his face. Hitsugaya sighed as he tried to move the mask off his face once more.

He lifted the mask up a little, showing a small part of his mouth 'Thank god it moves a little…' finally breathe without having the mask over his mouth. Hitsugaya clinched his fist 'I'm going to kill him for this…'

-Knock knock!-

'Shit!' Hitsugaya looked at the door; he couldn't remove the mask off his face and didn't want to show anyone the ridiculous mask.

"Shiro-chan? It's me" a voice called out as Hitsugaya's eyes widen 'Hinamori!?' he began to panic; he couldn't show himself with the mask on his face or make her worried about it.

"Don't come in" he said harshly and pulling the mask back down to his face.

"Mou! How mean Shiro-chan!" Hinamori waited outside with the small pink bag of chocolate she made "Shiro-chan, I'm coming in" she slide the door open.

Hitsugaya quickly went by the window and turned around showing his back towards her.

She entered the room and saw him staring out the window. Curious what he was looking at she began walking towards him "Shiro-chan? What are you-"

"Don't…Come any closer" he said in a cold voice as Hinamori stopped. Looking at the back of his head "Shiro-chan?...What's wrong?" she slowly took a step forward.

"I SAID, DON'T COME ANY CLOSER HINAMORI!" he roared gripping the window sill and biting his lips.

Hinamori froze as she took a step back. Lowering her head as she held the bag of chocolate, without a word she quickly rushed out of the office with the door closed.

Hitsugaya turned around hearing the door close "…Hinamori?" he called out, she had already left. He felt something ache inside his chest how harshly he yelled at her 'I'm sorry Momo…I promise, I'll explain everything.'

He didn't want her to see him like this or scare her. Frustrated, he grinded his teeth together and shut his eyes. He quickly shumpo out to head over to the 13th division 'Jushiro…You're going to wish you haven't chose me for this event.'
