Yo. Once again, I am here to deliver the next chapter. I want to thank all of you for your reviews last chapter. I was very surprised to see how many people were crazy about my new fic. I don't remember exactly where i got the idea from, all i remember is that i was watching Mortal Combat. XD And then i fell on the way to the computer. Lol. Anyway, this chapter doesn't have a lemon either, but i think you'll love it just the same.
Look on the bright side, to make up for lost time, you get all kinds of lemons in the future. I mean, 'Slave Of Love For A Day' means more than one, don't it? Lol. Enjoy!

Gifts Of Love
Chapter 2
Complications
Once again Hitsugaya was stuck in his office doing paperwork. Or trying to at least. He couldn't stop thinking about that coupon.
It was less than 3 feet away in the drawer. For some reason that coupon was begging to be used. You'd think that after finally ceasing to resist Matsumoto's charms, it would be easier to resist her.
Boy was he wrong.
The urge got worse.
It was unavoidable. The way she was always teasing him. Even when they weren't dating he found it hard to ignore her flirting. But he had to resist. He didn't want to blow away such a gracious opportunity, especially two days after she gave it to him.
He sighed and opened the drawer to look at the coupon. The long pink card that teased him for two days, and still releasing Matsumoto's heavenly perfume into the air, was more intimidating that even the largest of hollows.
She did it on purpose. She made this coupon just as irresistible as she was. If he were a normal guy he would've taken the day off and used it yesterday. But he wasn't. He wanted to use it at the perfect time. Not just waste it the second he got hormonal.
She really did do this on purpose.
She purposely make it to where he couldn't concentrate on anything but the damn coupon. Typical woman, always thinking up ways to steer him off course. Well he wasn't going to be fooled.
He put the coupon into the far corner of the desk and went back to attempting the paperwork, which had grown since Matsumoto wasn't in the office. Again.
Honestly, she was just being mean now. Ever since she gave him the coupon she was hardly ever in the office. And she knew damn well he liked her company when he did paperwork. She was just making this harder and harder.
He snorted. He was not going to play her little game her way. He was just going to have to ignore her. But that was going to be hard. Since last night Matsumoto said no playing in the bedroom until he used that coupon. Right when he was just about to get her.
She was torturing him now!
He was supposed to live with this until he used the coupon?! That was totally unfair. He was basically being punished for wanting to wait to use it. He growled in frustration.
If this was a joke he wasn't laughing. He didn't like the feeling of being deprived. Especially when she was such a damn tease!
Purposely changing in front of him this morning. And then offering to wash him in the shower. How scandalous. It wasn't fair! A normal man would've rolled over and died, and then accepted. But he didn't. He couldn't. He refused to allow her to win.
The coupon was more like a bet than a day of free sex.
A bet to see how long before he finally snaps from deprivation and uses it. She was obviously betting within several days. But he was going for longer. If he even lasted through tonight. He would bet his entire salary that she was going to attempt to sweeten him into using it.
He sighed and dropped his head onto the desk. This was pure torture. Forget trying to do paperwork, he couldn't even try and concentrate.
It was all the damn coupon's fault. If he really wanted her for a whole day, he didn't need a coupon to give him permission. This was degrading dammit! It seemed more like the other way around. Instead of her being his slave, he was hers!
His thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. He raised his head and let out a deep sigh before calling, "Come in".
Slowly, the door slid open. "Oh. Hinamori. What brings you here?" He asked. She had a soft smile. "I was finished with today's paperwork so I thought I'd come and see you, Shiro." She said with a sweet smile.
Oh how he envied her right now.
"Well as you can see, I've still got an entire stack to do." He motioned towards the mocking stack of paperwork. Momo laughed. "I don't believe it. You're a workaholic who always gets his work done, and yet I'M the one who got finished first." She broke into a fit of giggles.
Toshiro scowled. "Sure sure. Laugh it up. I've got a lot on my mind." Like my damn girlfriend who is trying very thin patience. He thought darkly.
"Like what?" She asked. Toshiro tried very hard not to blush and tried to think quick. "This and that." He answered.
"Well why don't you take a break and go for a walk with me?" She asked as she approached the desk. He took that into consideration. It might take his mind off his predicament. However the paperwork had to be done first.
"I'd like to, but if I don't do these papers, nobody will." He said with a sigh. "Rangiku-san is ditching again?" Her tone was flat. "It looks like it, I'm not suprised." He said and filled out another paper.
"So how was your Valentines Day, Shiro?" She asked and sat on the desk. He gave her a look but didn't say anything. "It was okay I guess. Thank you by the way for the chocolates." He said. Someone from her division came and gave him a box of Hinamori's homemade chocolates.
To which Matsumoto devoured before he could get ahold of them. When he asked why she simply said, "I'm defending my territory!" She said with a mouthful of chocolate. After it was all gone, she made a face and said, "This chocolate tastes weird."
He always knew Hinamori wasn't a very good cook. Matsumoto only wished he'd warned her before she gorged herself.
"Your welcome. I hope you liked it." She said and smiled brightly. He wish he could actually say he did. "Yeah, it was... great." At this Momo's smile grew into a proud grin.
"I'm glad. So... Did anyone else give you sweets?" She asked. He got something sweet alright. He got a sweet pair of lips, plus a sweet, perfect, wet, p- HYOURINMARU!!!
"Uh... Um... No. Not really." He mentally cursed the ice dragon. Momo quietly let out a sigh of relief. "You know, people say that when you eat someone's chocolate on Valentines Day, it means that you like them." She said.
Hitsugaya gave her another look. No wonder Matsumoto was so eager to keep that chocolate away from him. And he also knew now what she meant by defending territory.
Technically if it were true, it was Matsumoto who like her, not him. Because he never touched that chocolate.
"I've never heard of that." He scoffed and continued his work. She leaned over til her head was inches from his. He looked up and jumped back when he saw how close she was.
"Well it's true. And since nobody else gave you chocolate, that means you're free..." She trailed off and right before his eyes she drew herself closer. He couldn't back away any further because of the chair. Even though he was tall, the chair was taller than his head when he was in a sitting position.
Before her lips could touch his, they jumped at a bubbly giggle sounding from the hall outside the door.
"Bye Nanao! Bye Shunsui! You two be careful on your mission! See you in two weeks!" Before Matsumoto could burst through the door like she always did, Hinamori hopped off the deskand stood on the other side. Rangiku slid it open and skipped in singing, "Taiiiiiiiiiiiichoooooo!".
"Oh, Momo-chan, how are you?" She asked. "I'm fine, and you?" Momo asked. "I'm peachy." She said with a pinched smile.
"How was your Valentines Day Rangiku-san?" Momo asked. "Which part? Morning? Afternoon? How about night?" Hitsugaya sent her a warning glare, telling her to clam up, Rangiku simply rolled her eyes.
"Umm, how was it, period?" Momo asked, clearly confused with the exchange. "It was the best one I've ever had." Hitsugaya blushed as she glanced at him.
"So what brings you here?" Rangiku asked. "I was just visiting Shiro-chan. Seeing if he liked my chocolate." Rangiku didn't falter her stance. Clearly not offended by her comment or her tone. Seeing as she was the one who ate Momo's crappy chocolate.
"I'm sure he did. He looked quite happy when he was eating it." Rangiku said, oblivious to the warning glares Hitsugaya sent her.
"I'm happy to hear that." Momo said, a triumphant smile dancing across her face. "I'm sure you are. Well listen I just came for something I forgot earlier. So I'll just grab it and go." She said and then walked over to her desk. She pulled something out and then walked straight to the door.
"I'll see you later Momo-chan. Bye Taicho." She shot him a dirty look before leaving and partially slamming the door.
Hitsugaya frowned deeply. He was going to hear about this later...
"Rangiku-san seems a bit testy today..." Momo said when the stomping sounds outside the office disappeared. I wonder why... Hitsugaya thought sarcastically and rubbed his temples in frustration.
"Hmm? What's this?" He heard Hinamori mumble and looked up to see her picking up the pink slip of paper that was long forgotten.
His eyes widened and he jumped as she held it up to read it. Before he could explain, or at least try to, she put together a confused face. "'Slave Of Love For A Day'?" She questioned.
She shot her gaze over to Hitsugaya, who was covering his eyes in shame. "It's a gag gift." He said.
Momo nodded, as if trying to understand. "From who?" She asked. Hitsugaya sighed before answering, "Matsumoto." Momo made a frown and then stared closely at the card.
"'Good for 24 hours of interruption-free love'?". He sank in his chair as she read it aloud. "And you say this is a gag gift?" She asked. "Yes, Matsumoto has a very strange sense of humor." He said lowly.
To his surprise, Momo burst out laughing. "That's hilarious! Probably one of the best jokes I've ever heard of. As if someone would really give this to you. Ha!" He scowled as Momo was technically insulting him.
"You know, you had me going for a second. I really thought this was a real coupon. But then I realized that you don't have a girlfriend so it had to be a joke." She said in a fit of laughter. Toshiro scowled even more. She probably still thought he was a virgin. How he would love to tell her otherwise.
"Okay, if your done insulting me, I'd like to get back to my paperwork?" He said, his tone a little icier than usual.
"Okay Shiro. I'm sorry if I crushed your ego." She paused to giggle a little more. "Well, since this is a gag gift, I'm sure you were planning on getting rid of it anyway. So..." She placed the little coupon in the garbage can, much to his surprise and horror.
"Well, I guess I'll go. See you later Shiro-chan!" She said and danced out of the office. "It's Hitsugaya-taicho, dammit!" He shouted after her, but he doubt she heard him as the door slammed shut.
With a sigh he got up and fetched the coupon from the garbage. Then he made a decision...
The first chance he got, he was going to use it...
And that's it for this chapter! Momo was a little mean. But don't worry. Like my dad always says, justice finds a way. Anywho, next chapter will be up soon, so keep watch. Don't forget to review with your comments. No bad ones, please. Flamers are unwelcome and will be removed. Anyway, I'm not sure yet what next chapter will feature (Lemons or no lemons) but I guaruntee it will be just as good. I hope you liked this chapter. I did. Lol.
