AN: It's been years since I've updated anything. I got all nostalgic looking at my account and decided I could whip up a little something. It's been awhile, so go easy on me! I'm really rusty now XD this is going to be short. I will try to make the next one longer.

Hidden Clues
Momo Hinamori slouched over in her seat, playing with random merchandise to relieve the boredom. It was in no way her idea to come shopping in the human world, but the Shinigami Women's Association club had insisted they have quality girl time together. Momo wasn't really getting into all the makeup and underwear talk; she wanted nothing but to be back at home. She winced as she heard the unmistakable squeal of Rangiku Matsumoto. "Eee! I found the most amazing swim suit to wear this summer! I'm going to look so much more awesome! What do you think Momo?" she turned expectantly to the younger soul reaper, but the dark haired girl was staring out the window again with a wistful look upon her face. Matsumoto moved closer and waved her hand in front of her face. "Momo? Hinamori Momo?" Momo slowly came out of her trance. "Huh?" Matsumoto sighed, and sat down in the seat next to her. This called for her serious face. "Okay what's up? Ever since we left soul society you've been in another dimension." Momo began to twiddle her thumbs, "I don't know what you are talking about. I participated in everything we have been doing on our trip." Matsumoto grunted uncertainly. "Please. You try being here but your mind ends up being miles away." Momo stayed quite as Matsumoto studied her. "…You want to be home don't you?" Momo blushed. "It's that obvious huh?" She held up a pair of watermelon earrings. "There's just something I really want to get back to at home." I miss you…
Toshiro leaned back in his chair, balancing a pen on his nose. He had stared at the ceiling for what felt like hours with a growing empty feeling inside his heart. He could live without Matsumoto for a while as she wasn't really there in the first place, but the absence of a certain someone was really weighing down on his mind. The work that would have usually been done was still lying on his desk. With no distraction around, you would think he would be able to finish the paperwork in a record time. On the contrary it was having the opposite effect; Toshiro could not work without his "distraction" being at his side. "…Sir?" Toshiro started, sitting up abruptly. "Excuse me I did not mean to disturb you, but this paper work must be reviewed as quickly as possible." The tenth-division captain stared blankly at Abarai Renji, and then pulled himself together. "Yeah...yes of course. Which division is this for?" "For the fifth division. They needed this approved, but as their lieutenant is out in the real world right now they figured…well I was asked to bring this to you for confirmation." Toshiro cleared his throat and grabbed the papers from Renji. "Did they give a specific reason as to why I would be able to confirm these papers for them?" Renji stood straight, determined to be as professional as he could in front of the younger but more advanced soul reaper. "They mentioned that their lieutenant seemed to spend a considerable amount of time here, so they assumed most of her work was done here." Toshiro glanced at the empty seat in front of his desk. "…something like that. You could say something like that…" he whispered softly. Renji stared at him suspiciously. "Wait a moment…" Toshiro fixed him with a glare, his voice suddenly layered with ice. "Are you still here? Thank you for the papers, but I believe you have no more reason being here. Dismissed." Renji bowed hurriedly and sped out of his office. As soon as the door was shut, Toshiro let a sigh of relief escape his lips and sunk into his seat. "That was too close. No matter how much we try to hide it, we leave obvious clues around. Sooner or later we are going to get caught." He frowned. "And now I'm talking to myself. I really must be lonely." He raised the papers and stared at the symbol of the fifth division. Come back soon…

AN: should have put more work into it, promise the next one will have them together and not apart and missing each other. (They do say time apart makes the heart grow fonder) This story has them being in a relationship but for certain reasons they have to keep it a secret but soon people would put one and one together. Hope you liked it :)
