Any molestation or boy touching jokes or anything stupid like that will result in you being blocked from all my accounts. I'm tired of stupid shit like that anytime Orochimaru is brought up.

She was that girl. It was impossible not to know about her. She stood out among the crowd and that was probably what drew him to her.

They all stared at her. Just like in his youth. Everyone, everywhere she goes. At times she blended in, going as far as not wearing her lieutenant badge. Though there were added stresses to her situation. That girl, with pale skin and baggy eyes had to go through so much therapy to fix her psyche.

They wanted a target. They wanted someone to blame. This poor girl, contrary to popular belief was not stupid. He knew the pain of being a scapegoat. How no one else wanted to hold any responsibility, but it did not mean anything in terms of how the situation played out. Aizen had fooled all of them. Though, despite it all that girl had fought back. That girl who embodied many traits he admired. She was a person that embodied the traits of being sweet, compassionate, and an inner strength to never back away from her convictions.

"Lieutenant Hinamori, would you mind accompanying for tea this evening?" even now, it was so funny to think how time could change a person. Thinking back to his youth, he could hardly think of the times he used formality.

Tea?" She questioned, unsure if she heard his offer right.

"Yes. If you would... like."

Hinamori found herself at a crossroads. A part of Momo wanted to rebuff the offer, concluding that he simply felt sorry for her and she did not want to be pitied. She had enough of that the past year. On the other hand another part of her wanted the distraction. She had spent so much time burying herself in her work she hardly had a moment to relax. As such that offer for tea was sounding very nice.

"I would like that very much, Uzumaki-san."

"In that case I'll see you at my home in say about two hours?"

She nodded and watched him go. Naruto Uzumaki was essentially the opposite in terms of someone like Byakuya Kukichi without straying into the realm of being someone like Kenpaichi either. If anything he was more like an active Shinsui who insisted on getting along with everyone. Well except the 12th division captain to whom he kept on annoying the man by calling him Orochimaru 2.0.

Upon her return to her home Momo realized she didn't have anything to wear. She didn't know why, but she found herself feeling self-conscious. Momo's devotion to Aizen prevented her from ever considering a romantic relationship with anyone else, meaning she wasn't quite sure how to act in such a setting. While Momo was well trained in many matters her situations resulted in large social groups or reacting with people who were like her family or close friends.

For a moment Momo considered asking her friend Matsumoto for advice. Despite her friend's lazy personality she was quite popular, especially among men. Momo pulled out a kimono and held it up in the mirror, pursing her lips and thinking about her lack of figure. She wasn't as flattering as Matsumoto nor had her charm or partygoer personality. That and she was sure the woman would spend the majority of the time teasing her and talking about how she found herself a beau.

She considered wearing her uniform, but she didn't want to offend the man. She really wished that Naruto clarified the reason behind this offer. She contemplated for a few minutes his reasons for inviting her out of the blue and eventually gave up. No conclusion she could come up with would probably match the strange man's reasoning.

Unfortunately because he was a mysterious third-seat, he didn't seem to have a strong locale of very close friends among the division. He was a friendly sort of person that chatted with everyone willing to accept his offer of friendship meaning it probably wouldn't take long for her investigating to get back to the blond himself.

After going through her closest she finally found something that stood out. It was a dark royal purple vintage, silk kimono. The patterning was that of a five-petal floral arrangement with accent colors of soft autumn palette. Not to mention the Elongated sleeves had red lining. In other words this was a perfectly nice kimono for tea.

Naruto himself had an easy time choosing. A Homongi Kimono, considered quite stunning and a recent Kimono trend. It was rather popular for the occasion to wear it was that of special visits, dinners, and similar occasions. This costume made outfit was made of hand-spun silk, with painstaking designs incorporated along the border called Eba. It depicted the scene of nature, Eba flows across the garment seams.

Everything was arranged neatly on the table. Receiving an answer from the door Naruto opened the door and welcome Momo in. Hinamori Momo stepped in on politely hesitant feet, kneeling perfectly when Naruto waved her to her seat. Naruto couldn't help but noted how lovely she looked in her uniform. "Evening Hinamori-san, your kimono really brings out your beautiful nature." Naruto hoped his compliment was correct. Even now, his expertise in the art of romance was rather low compared to his other aspects.

A faint blush formed on Momo's cheeks. "Thank you," after a few seconds she regained her composure. Momo was used to compliments about her kimono, her diligence, and her rise to lieutenant. She was not used to compliments about her appearance. "Thank you very much for the invitation, Uzumaki-san." She said as she offered him a visiting gift. It was a simple gift of expertly crafted sandals in a simple box. It was not a costly gift, but a simple customary gift often given among shinigami as their footwear tend to wear after long hours of training or combat.

"Thank you for your kind gift." Placing the gift aside Naruto grabbed the teapot and served Momo tea and then poured some tea for himself. The easy part was now over. Now it was essentially a matter of starting an engaging topic and keep it going.
