Mimasaka Sakura

The fifth division has stayed without a captain for almost 5 years after Aizen's failure. After that a woman was made a captain. She was nothing close to Aizen and for everybody was hard to communicate with her at first, especially for Hinamori. Since she admired her previous captain she hasn't completely recovered form his betrayal and death.

The name of the new captain is Mimasaka Sakura. She is eccentric, loud and out-going. But at the same time she is serious and reliable when she needs to be. She is similar to Yoruichi. That's why Soifon really likes her and wants to be close to her. They are seen together often but as Mimasaka said they are nothing more than good friends. Hinamori really likes her too and with her guidance she has become stronger woman. Mimasaka trained her hard, because she said that training the body helped training the mind too. It really helped Hinamori to stop thinking about the past.

The unbelievable change she made in someone was in Byakuya. At first he said she is loud and annoying. Mimasaka really liked teasing about him being a gay. She said that 70 years after his wife's death it's normal for him to think about other woman and find a girlfriend. She was always chasing after him and talking without a stop. And when Yachiru was with her it was awful. Although Byakuya was saying he hated her, he fell in love with her without realizing it. Rukia was amazed and was somewhat jealous of Mimasaka Sakura because she was the one who opened her brother to the world, not her. But then she helped her and Renji to announce their relationship to Byakuya and for him to accept it. So both Rukia and Renji love her now. Zaraki likes her too because even though she is a woman she is an awesome fighter. He has fought with her for two times and said it was freaking good. He wanted them to fight again but that means getting into argument with Byakuya. Yachiru loves playing with Mimasaka and calls her cherry girl. Many criticize Sakura because of her irresponsible behavior when being around Yachiru. But she doesn't care if she is being childish. Hitsugaya likes her, although he doesn't say it. The main reason is that she is always very good to Hinamori and has helped her to recover. Of course he was glad that she is a woman so Hinamori didn't fall in love with her. Mimasaka was the main reason for him to confess to Hinamori. She saw their feeling and pushed them a little. She knows about their relationship but keeps it in secret since they haven't told anybody. People think that she can't keep secrets but they are wrong. She respects privacy. Mimasaka Sakura is many shinigami idol.

Byaaa – kun! – Mimasaka was complaining about something again. – Why can't we go somewhere?

Because I have paperwork to do. – he said coldly, not looking at her.

I have too. But we have so much time. – she smiled.

Byakuya didn't say anything and continued walking faster to his office. When he got there he found his fukutaicho lying on the floor and some of the paperwork accompanying him down there. Rukia was up on the desk, but she almost fell too when spotting her brother. There was a moment of silence broken by the echoing voice of Mimasaka:

Oh, were you doing something on the desk? – she laughed.

Both Byakuya and Rukia looked terrified. Then Renji stood up rubbing his nose again:

I wished it was that! – he said.

Renji! – Rukia blushed and started explaining. – We got into a fight. That is all. Me and Renji will put everything in order again, Nii-sama.

Renji sighed and murmured something under his nose but decided not to complain because he didn't want another hit.

Oh, Bya – kun that will take some time. Come on let's go to have lunch! – she caught Byakuya and got him out of the office.

Look what you have done! – said Rukia after Mimasaka's voice stopped to be heard.

Me? – Renji exclaimed. – Weren't you the one that hit me?

It was because you were insolent!

All I wanted was one stupid kiss! You are my girlfriend, aren't you? You are not Ichigo's girlfriend.

How is that connected with us?

I know you always wanted him!

What? – she shouted. – That's not true! I wanted you.

Oh, yes. So that is why you don't want to kiss me. Because you love me. – he moved to the desk to put the bunch of paper there.

I do love you. – she said and caught his robes so his head was on her level now. Then she kissed him passionately on the lips.

So you can do it after all. – he said smiling.

Yes, I just don't want to do it when we work, because after that I can't stop kissing you. – She pulled him down for another kiss, but he didn't complain.

*************************************************************

She was looking right into his aquamarine eyes. She felt lost in them and didn't want to stop looking. "They say that when you look someone in the eyes you see their soul, right? I feel so safe and peaceful while looking into Hitsugaya – kun's soul. That means he is the right for me."

Why are you staring at me? – asked Hitsugaya who was under Hinamori lying on the grass.

I was thinking. – she smiled. – I really love your eyes. What do you feel when you look at mine?

What kind of question is that?

Answer it. It is important.

I feel the same way like when I kiss you or look at your whole face.

What does this mean? – she looked like a puppy whose master didn't want to play with.

It means that I love you, baka! – he sighed, as her smile grew.

I love you too, Shiro – chan! Very, very, very much! – she leaned and kissed him, so he couldn't complain about the nickname. When they broke the kiss, Hitsugaya suddenly flipped them over so he was on top of her now.

Shiro – chan? – he looked at her mischievously and started tickling her.

Sto-p it, ple-a-se! – she was saying while laughing. But Hitsugaya wasn't planning on stopping yet.

Meanwhile in the 10th division office.

Where did taicho go? He didn't finish his work. It is not in his style. That is strange. – she put a finger on her lips. – He was acting non-interested when I mentioned Hinamori – chan. Can it be that he is dating another woman? I must find out!
