She shot him with Tobiume's fire ball. Her eyes widened as her fire ball attacked him with speed and power. She looked at her sword with wonder. She felt her rejutsu change, her speed and power increased too.
This is our true power. She recognized Tobiume's voice. You were always this strong. You were just afraid to let it loose. You keep on holding back. Aizen too knows your strength that's why he kept you tamed and controlled. He doesn't want you to interfere with his plans. You are strong Hinamori, when will you realize that?
She smiled at Tobiume and she looked back at the stranger. He was lying on the ground because of Tobiume's attack. He stood and removed his tattered cloak. Hinamori gasped when she saw her enemy's face.
He has light green hair and blue eyes. He has some marking on one side of his face and he looked cool and calm. There was a collar on his neck which seemed to be like a hollows. His clothing seemed to be familiar but Hinamori can't remember where she saw it. He looked familiar, very familiar.
The stranger smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Momo-chan"
She flinched as he said her name, "Wh-who are you?"
His smile disappeared, "So you really don't remember…"
She was confused at the words of the stranger. "I'm Yoshirou…"
He vanished as he introduced himself. Hinamori stared at the open field before returning her gaze at her injured friends.
She ran towards them as she thought of a way to heal them. She touched Ruuko on the forehead and suddenly his injuries start to heal. She didn't waste any time to think as she did the same thing to Tsuyoki. The same thing happened; Tsuyoki's injuries start to heal.
Hinamori is confused. She remembered what Yoshirou said and it made her more puzzled about her true identity. The thought never occurred to her that her memories start with Hitsugaya-kun's birth until now.
She pushed her thoughts at the back of her mind as she tried to focus on her unconscious friends. She carried them back inside the house as the rain start to pour. She gazed unto the horizon and sighed…
Back in Seireitei. . .
"Hey taicho! What's wrong??" Matsumoto said as she noticed the worried expression on Hitsugaya's face.
"It's nothing, I thought I felt…"he trailed off. His face turned to HER direction.
"You should visit her you know." she said and Hitsugaya's face turned to her questioningly.
"Wha-" He was cut off by Matsumoto's stubborn expression.
"Visit her. So that you can stop worrying all the time." She turned around and shunpoed towards the tenth division as she left the captain thinking.
He then made up his mind and went to the first division to ask permission to visit her. Yamamoto granted his request and when he did so, Hitsugaya didn't waste any time as he shunpoed towards the place where Hinamori spend time recovering.
It was already dark when he arrived. He saw her lying on the field watching the moon and the stars. Her face was mixed with different emotions which made him worry. She stood up when she felt his rejutsu. He walked towards her and when he was about a few feet away she turned around and all of a sudden Hinamori gave Hitsugaya a hug. He was surprised at first but he hugged her back. He knew that Hinamori is troubled.
As she removed her grip around Hitsugaya's neck, she returned to her position on the field. Hitsugaya laid next to her and after a few minute of silence he spoke.
"Is this about-"he was cut off by Hinamori.
"No, this isn't about that traitor Aizen." She said, despise and rage clearly present in her voice.
Hitsugaya was surprised with the way she spoke about her former idol.
"I've seen through him a long time ago…Even before I was sent here. Nobody believes me…they don't trust me anymore, they think I might betray Soul Society as well." she said with a tone of regret and sorrow.
Hitsugaya didn't ask any more questions. As he watches the stars and the moon he felt her grip his sleeves tightly. He then held her hand and felt them shaking.
She was thinking about something serious. She never acted like this before and it made Hitsugaya feel more uncomfortable. It seems like she was trying to escape from a thought, she was trying to forget about something, but what is it?
He felt frustrated and concerned but didn't even bother asking her. They were silent for a long time which made them slip to unconsciousness.
The sky was already turning bright when they woke up. Hitsugaya stood up and helped Hinamori to her feet. She smiled at him.
"Thank you Shiro-chan" she hugged him and kissed him on the cheeks.
He was surprised with the kiss and his face turned slightly red. He looked into her brown eyes and he felt that Hinamori was trying to tell him something.
"No problem bed-wetter…see you soon" he replied.
"I hope…." Hinamori murmured to herself and Hitsugaya heard it loud and clear. He didn't question her anymore as he shunpoed back to Seireitei.
Hitsugaya arrived at the tenth division quarters early. He was still worried about Hinamori. He knows that she didn't tell him something. She was hiding something from him.
When he looked outside his window, it was already about 9 in the morning. He forgot about the time for he was only focused on Hinamori. A hell butterfly suddenly appeared to announce a captain and vice captain's meeting on the hill.
A weird place to call a meeting. He thought.
When he arrived, Matsumoto was the first one he saw. All the other captains and vice captains were there too.
"Oi taicho!!!" Matsumoto shouted.
Hitsugaya gave her an irritated expression but she pretended not to notice.
"So…what happened with your meeting with Hinamori??" She smiled.
"It went…well" Hitsugaya blushed as he remembered the kiss. Matsumoto noticed his change in color. She smirked and thought to herself not to bother asking her captain anymore for she already had a clue.
"Why do you think Captain Commander called a meeting in this place??" Renji asked Matsumoto as he walked towards her.
"I don-" Matsumoto wasn't able to finish her reply as she heard a loud explosion and felt overwhelming rejutsu's. One was familiar while the other wasn't.
All of the captains and vice captains felt it too. They were all staring at the direction of the explosion.
Hitsugaya stared wide eye as he muttered. " Hinamori….!"
