So Alone Chapter Two
"I'm serious, Hinamori-chan. I can see it in your eyes." Renji-kun said to the raven haired girl.
"Yeah. I can also tell you like the newbie." Masumoto said, drinking her chocolate milk. Hinamori blushed out of embaressment.
"I don't like Hitsugaya! I just met him!" Hinamori complained. Even though Hinamori may deny it, something tells her that she is lying.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Izuru said.
"No need to lie about it." Rangiku said with a wide smirk on her face.
"Rangiku, Hitsugaya will never like me, ok?" She said, finally admitting that she thinks he is cute.
"Aww, how cute-" Rangiku said, before getting interrupted.
"That's Captain Hitsugaya." The white haired boy snapped. They all jumped and looked at him.
"C-Captain Hitsugaya." Renji said. Hitsugaya look at him, having a look that said: 'That's better'.
"Taicho." Rangiku said. Toshiro's gaze locked on Rangiku.
"Taicho?" They all said in unison, except Toshiro.
"Yeah, I'm his fukitaicho." Rangiku said.
"In...teresting." Gin said said, absolute shock written all over him.
"Momo likes you!" Izuru blurted out. Gin reached over and covered his mouth. Toshiro stared at Izuru, wideyed.
"Gomenesai, taicho. He, uh..." Gin said, thinking of an excuse. Toshiro raised an eyebrow.
"He's just tired! You see, when he doesn't sleep for a few days, he randomly blurts out stuff-" Rangiku said, trying to cover it up.
"Urusai." Toshiro said. Everyone stared at him, wideyed in confusion.
"You guys don't need to back her up. You and I both know she likes me." He said. Hinamori hung her head in defeat. Wait a minute!, she thought and lifted her head.
"H-How do you know?" She said. A smirk tickled Toshiro's lips. He smiled and Hinamori's heart raced.
"Don't worry, Momo. Your secret is safe with me." He said, turning and walking away.
"What secret?" She called after him. But he ignored her and continued walking off. Then they all turned and glared at Izuru. Who stood there, looking ashamed.
"Hey! Don't blame him!" Gin said as Izuru's eyes started to fill with tears. He took it the wrong way. He thought they started to hate him.
"You told him!" Rangiku said.
"Rangiku, stop!" Hinamori yelled. Rangiku stopped and looked at her.
"What?" She said. Hinamori pointed to Izuru, who was crying while looking down.
"Oh, Izuruuu." Rangiku said. Gin wrapped his arms around Izuru's neck in a hug.
"It's ok. They're just assholes." Gin said, shooting Rangiku a glare.
"C'mon, Hinamori. Let's go get Izuru some chocolate icecream. You and I both know that it's his favorite." Gin said. Hinamori stood and nodded.
"B-But, Hinamori!" Rangiku said.
"Rangiku, you have to learn how to control your anger or you'll hurt someone." Hinamori said. Gin stood and pulled Izuru along with him. Izuru, Gin and Hinamori walked to the nearby icecream parlor.
15 MINUTES LATER
"Are you going to be ok, Izuru?" Hinamori said. Izuru slowly nodded. He was still hurt by Rangiku's yelling.
"C'mon, do you want me to tickle you again?" Gin said. Izuru slightly smiled and looked away.
"No." He said.
"Too bad." Gin said. Izuru laughs and tried to squirm away as his taicho started to tickle him.
"Yeah, that's totally not gay." Hinamori murmured. She's not against gays or anything.
"T-Taicho! Stop!" Izuru cried.
"Taicho!" Someone else yelled. Gin stopped and looked. Izuru and Hinamori followed his gaze. Rangiku stood there, back at them.
"What's wrong?" She said. That's when Hinamori saw Toshiro, who was leaning against the wall, hand on his forehead. His eyes were tightly closed.
"My head..." He said. I sighed and walked over to Toshiro.
"Toshiro, I told you you should stay home today." She said. Toshiro opened one eye but didn't say anything.
"Guys, I'm gonna take him home. He obvisously isn't fully recovered from his hypothermia." Momo said.
"O-Ok. We'll cover for you." Izuru said. Rangiku looked at him.
"Izuru." She said. Izuru hides behind his captain. Hinamori grabbed his arms and gently walked him home.
"Momo, I'm fine." Hitsugaya said as Momo came back with a blanket.
"No, you're not. You still have some hypothermia left in you and you have a high fever." She said.
"Momo...why are you the only one here taking care of me?" He asked. Momo stopped in her tracks and looked at him.
"Well...my friends think you're...no good for anyone. They think...you're just..." She said. Toshiro looked away, sadness filtered his eyes.
"No good, huh?" He said. Momo put the blanket on him.
"I don't believe them though. They can think what they want to think. I won't listen." She said. Hitsugaya grabbed her wrist. She looked at him, wided and overwealmed by his touch. He had the urge to push her away. But he didn't. He didn't want to. For some reason, he wanted to hold her close. That's when they both figured out. They DID know eachother! They both remembered it. They both now know that they were good friends way back when they were young.
The shock in her eyes disapeared and love replaced it. She tilted her head to the side and leaned in. Toshiro let go of her wrist, which fell onto his bare chest [BONUS!] and closed his eyes as their lips made contact. He put his hand on the side of her neck, embracing his first kiss and realizing, out of all these years of knowing Hinamori Momo, he was inlove with her.
The white haired teenager walked through the school hallway, heading to lunch, where he was going to meet his lover. He was in an unusually good mood. Like...they smiley and happy-happy-joy-joy kind [okay, not so happy-happy-joy-joy mood but somewhat like that]. He guesses it's just he finally found his first love.
He was reaching the cafeteria, when he heard a conversation. Some voices he recognized. So he stopped to listen.
"So, how was the kiss, Momo?" Rangiku said. Momo's there. He smiled a little and peeked his head around he corner.
"It was...good." Momo replied, picking at her Macoroni N' Cheese. Toshiro smiled more, knowing that she liked it made him feel better.
"Ok. But, are you going to tell him?" Ichigo said. The smile on Toshiro's face dissapeared. What is Ichigo talking about? Is Momo hiding something from Toshiro?
IN TOSHIRO'S POV
I had no idea what Ichigo was talking about. What did he mean by that? I stayed put so I could find out.
"Guys, c'mon. He could be here any minute. He could be listening right now." Orihime said, obvisously knowing that I stood there, watching and listening. I gasped softly and put my head back around the corner, almost blowing my cover as they all looked at the corner where I was hiding.
"He's not there, Orihime. Stop being paranoid." Rukia said. Orihime sighed, knowing that now one believes her made her feel bad. I poked my head around the corner again.
"Anyway, come on, Momo. Are you hiding something?" Izuru said, grabbing his cheeseburger.
"Yes, she is. Now tell." Rangiku said, nudging Momo in the arm. I squinted my eyes. I didn't know if it was was good or bad.
"C'mon, explain. I wanna know, Hinamori-chan." Gin said.
"Guys, leave her alone." Orihime said.
"Urusai, Orihime!" Rangiku yelled. Orihime looked hurt.
"Rangiku!" Ichigo yelled back at her.
"Momo! You have to tell him that you were dared to kiss him! You never meant it!" Rangiku said, spilling Momo's secret that she wanted to keep. My eyes widen. Orihime closed her eyes-which were full of tears-and stood.
"Have a good day. Ja ne." She said, walking my way.
"Orihime!" Momo called. Everyone turned to stop her, but stopped in their tracks when they saw me. Orihime walked over to me, grabbed my arm and burried her face in the right side of my neck and cried. I put my arm around her back and shot Momo a glare.
"T-Taicho." Rangiku said. I shot Rangiku a glare. Rangiku became frightened and she backed up.
"You guys are cruel and the worst friends possible." I said.
"Toshiro..." Izuru said.
"Not you, Izuru, Gin, and Orihime. But the rest of you...unbelieveable. Rangiku, yelling at Orihime like you did with Izuru and making them both cry isn't gonna help their self esteem or help their respect to you. And Momo...how dare you keep that from me?" I said. I was very angry at this point. It's good that I was fighting my Bankai form, and was winning.
"Hitsugaya, please. Let me explain." Ichigo said.
"Get away from me. Stay away from me. All of you. I never want to hear you or see you guys ever again." I said, turning and walking away.
"Hitsugaya!" Momo called after me.
"Ready to run?" I asked Orihime, who looked at me and held my hand ever so tightly.
"Hai." She said. I nodded and we both ran. We ran out of the school and into the pouring rain. I had no idea we stopped in the middle of the road. It was pouring hard so I barely had any idea where we were going. I stopped and looked around. A light bright blinded me from my left side, where Orihime was standing. I covered my eyes and looked. One light became two. Two bright lights heading right for me and Orihime. I squinted my eyes at it. My eyes widen and I looked at Orihime, who looked frightened. I shoved her out of the way. She hit the sidewalk. I look ahead. The driver was Aizen. He looked panicked. Before I got to react or dodge the car, I was hit dead on and at full speed. The last thing I heard before everything was black, was Orihime yelling my name.
"TOSHIRO!" She cried. Blackout.
THE END
Authors note: Wow. Why did Aizen hit Toshiro? And why did Momo give into the dare she recieved from Rangiku? Oh, cliffhangers. Got to love them. Ja ne! And gomenesai for making so short!
