Chapter 2 Deal

Momo {POV}

It was still early morning when I got to the training ground. The air was cool and I could hear the rustling sound of the trees. Sitting in a lotus position I put Tobiume on my lap and started to meditate. As I closed my eyes the world around me started to fade away. The sound of water echoed into my ear.

"Master, you're here."

Opening my eyes, my inner world surrounded me. The sky was a dark purple and I was standing on water. The water went on for miles and the only thing that stuck out was a peach tree.

"It's nice to see you too, Tobiume."

She was sitting right in the middle of the tree holding a peach in each hand.

"Want one? There are oh so very sweet."

Tossing me one of the fuzziest fruits and munching on another.

"Umm, Tobiume I need to ask you something."

"Whats up."

"It's about my bankai."

As soon as I said the word "bankai" the little girl in the tree stopped smiling

"I've been training with Captain Ukitake for over three months. Every time I try using my bankai I feel like you're holding me back."

***She doesn't say anything nor looks at me. Why won't she say something? ***

"Why are you holding me back? Don't you want us to become closer?"

"I'M DOING IT TO PROTECT YOU!"

Suddenly the wind picked up and the tree turned on fire.

"Wait, Tobiume what are-"

Before I could finish, a wave came from behind me. I could feel the water getting into my lunges.***Im drowning*** The only thing I could see was the glow from the burning tree.

"UAHHHH" My eyes shot open and I took long deep breaths.

*** Why the hell did she do that for? Also what do I need protection from? ***

"Umm Hinamori-san, are you ok?"

Looking up, I saw a petite raven haired girl standing in front of me.

"Yeah, I'm fine Kuchiki-san. I was just talking to Tubiume." *** Even though I did most of the talking. ***

Getting up I started to brush myself off.

"Captain Ukitake sent me here to tell you that he would not be able to make it due to an urgent matter. He also sends his deepest apologies."

"Well it can't be helped thank yo - grrrrrr."

*** How embarrassing my stomach just growled in front of Kuchiki- san***

After a long awkward silence, Rukia spoke first.

"Hinamori-san would you like to join me for some tea and snacks."

"I would love to and could you please call me Momo."

"Ok, Momo you can call me Rukia."

We started to walk back to the 13th division building. The sun was already up and birds were flying around.*** hmmm today feels like a good day***

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you ask Captain Ukitake to help you instead of Captain Hitsugaya?"

I didn't answer for a while. I just kept looking at the sky.

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"No, I'm fine Rukia. I just want to be able to do my bankai and have more control in my swordsmanship."

"So, Captain Hitsugaya is not capable of helping you."

"What! No, Shiroooo I mean Captain Hitsugaya is very capable. I think he could have shown me a lot faster."

"Then why didn't you ask him."

"That's because he already does so much for me already. Like helping me with paper work and fixing any problems I have. He's really strong and smart. Not to mention good looking . . . I just don't want to be a nuisance to him. I want to be able to fight by his side as an equal, I guess."

By now I could tell my face was flushed.

"Oh, so you have a crush on the short white -haired captain."

*** Hell no I did not see Rukia just give me an evil smirk***

"Wh-what a-are you talking about I don't-"

She put her hand on my shoulder.

"There's no point in denying it Momo. It's written all over your face."

"N-No it's not and what about you."

"What about me?"

"Rukia, I've seen the way you STARE at Renji in the lieutenants' meetings"

"What! I don't stare. I-I just closely observe him."

I gave her that same evil smirk she gave me.

"If you don't tell anyone about Renji, I won't tell anyone about you liking Hitsugaya."

"Deal"

Normal {POV}

As the two girls walked into the building, they failed to see the hidden figure in the tree.

Jumping off the tree the figure flashed stepped to a nearby alley. While kneeling on one knee he spoke in a scratchy voice.

"I've found it my lord."

In front of the knelt man stood a woman with long brown hair that made it to her waist, and bangs that covered her right eye and some of her cheek. Her visual eye was a light blue. She wore a dark blue kimono with sleeves pulled down to her shoulders. The women crossed her arms over her large assets.

"What do you want to do?"

Looking back she spotted a man leaning on the wall. He was rolling clay between his fingers.

"I guess it's time to take back my toy."
