"Talking" 'Thinking' "memories"

The Two Hitsugayas & Hinamori

By:Hitsuhinax1

Chapter 2: Awakening

"Where am I? Why is it so dark?"

Hinamori lost in her own world of darkness. She felt cold and she felt the floor wet with water, she saw white ripples forming around her feet and fading as they expanded. She was always scared of the dark, bad dreams and memories would haunt her there. She was completely alone.

"Hello?" She called hoping to hear a voice reply back her answer. Only echoes of her voice replied. As she continued to walk through the darkness she wrapped her hands around her arms. The room was getting colder and soon saw her breath creating smoke.

'Why am I here…? What is this place?' holding herself tightly, the place seemed familiar as if she was here before. She heard small echoes of someone talking, it was small and faint as a whisper. "Hello?" she called out once more and walked towards to the voices. The voices became louder, with every step she took.

Soon realizing the voice belonged to her beloved formal captain, Aizen.

"How unfortunate! You found her? ...Pardon me. It wasn't my intention to traumatize you. Before you could have noticed, I should have chopped her into unrecognizable pieces..."Taking a step back in fear and covering her ears she started to run away from the voices. Running as fast as she can she tripped and fell.

Panting she used her elbows to lift herself looking down at the dark waters. She saw her own reflections, remembering the times she spent in the darkness. She was here again.

Sitting on the cold floor. Hugging her knees tightly and feeling her eyes get watery…'No! no… not again...stop...please!' she didn't want to be here, she wanted to wake up from this nightmare she created.

She remembered the times when she was in the darkness, her friends would speak to her and she would be listening. Too ashamed of herself, but when she heard her childhood friend's voice. She wanted to walk up, she wanted to see him.

It felt like hours to days in the dark room, sitting there wiping away her tears. She thought about her friends and her grandma. 'Shiro-chan…' gathering her courage, she stood up and walked. If she got out of the darkness once, she can do it again. She promised herself she wouldn't be the same naïve girl as before but, a strong woman.

She always had her childhood friend watching out for her, he was always there for her and even when they were little he would always find her when she was lost in the woods.

"THERE YOU ARE, STUPID BED-WETTER!" young a boy yelled, looking at the crying girl with her hands and knees dirty. "S-shiro-chan..?" she said and soon started to cry. "Hey! Stop crying you big cry baby! I've been looking for you everywhere!" he yelled and grabbed her small hands "grandma must be worried we been out this late!" he saw her knee bleeding and quickly mending it with a cloth. "and you hurt yourself, AGAIN!" he yelled at her and the poor girl looking down in shame. Kneeling and showing his back towards the girl he said "Hurry up and get on!" as she slowly climbed onto his back with her arms around his shoulders.

While walking down the path to their house; the young boy holding the sniffling girl under the moon. Crickets chirping and fireflies fluttering near the meadows, the little girl said quietly "I..I'm sorry Shiro-chan…for making you worried…" still sniffling. "This is what happens when you go out by yourself!" he said frustrated that she wouldn't bother to ask him to go with her.

He lowered his head "…but, I'm just…glad you're safe..." he continued to walk "Just…don't…go out by yourself alone around this time anymore! It's not safe, next time tell me so we can go together!" feeling his cheeks warm up. The young girl staring at her childhood friend, she slowly smiled "Okay Shiro-chan...thank you." Hugging him softly. "Ugh gross! That better be your tears on my shoulders cause it's soaked!" he teased. "MOU! SHIRO-CHAN!" she blushed in embarrassment and started to hit the back of head. Both laughing under the moonlight path and under the starry skies.

She felt her eyes get watery and whispered "Shiro-chan…help me."

"Hi..namori.." softly in the winds echoing.

"Huh? Sh..Shiro-chan?..." her face brightening "Is that you?" running towards the voice in the darkness "Shiro-chan! Where are you?" she was so happy to hear her childhood friend call out to her as if he was trying to find her the whole time. Hinamori panting from running, smoke coming out of her mouth due to the cold. "Shiro-chan!" as she yelled.

"Hinamori"

The voice was clear as if he was in the same room. She stopped right in her tracks, looking around in the darkness to look for her white haired childhood and called out again "Shiro-chan! Where are you? I'm right he-"

Suddenly, she felt feeling something thrust violently coming from behind her and a cold object between her chests. Looking down to see a sword coming out of her, her eyes widen and slow reached for the obect to see if it's real and not an illusion.

It was cold as ice, her finger tips slowly brushed against the sword and felt something wet but warm. Removing her fingers off the sword looking at her fingers, she saw her own blood on the sword.

"...W..what.." her voice shaking in fear and confusion. Soon feeling someone behind her, she turned her head slowly to see her childhood friend holding the sword with both hands though her chest. His face looking into her eyes, the same turquoise eyes she always loved…staring back at her with a blank expression, it was same as her formal captain's face when he betrayed her.

"Sh…iro chan…" A tear escaped from her eye. 'Please...not...you too...'

In the recovery room of the 4th district, machines beeping into a girl laying down on a bed with IV lines going into her arm. Quietly laying still on the bed, brown hair flowing with peach pale skin. Soft breaths cloud the respiratory mask.

Her red reiatsu began floating out of her chest like a river of blood, covering her body and pulsing red ripples. Her fingertips slowly move….

Feeling a faint familiar reiatsu pulsing coming towards the 4th division, Reigai Hitsugaya lifting his head with eyes wide open. He turned his head towards the direction, it was faint but he sensed it coming towards him.

'Hi..Hinamori..?' Without hesitation, the Reigai quickly shunpos building to building towards the 4th division. Whoever gets in his way would be an unfortunate poor soul.

Reaching his destination, he slowly enters inside holding his breath. He walks into the halls and approaches the recovery room he hesitates. Gripping the handle of the door and closes his eyes. Sliding the door open to see his sleeping beauty still there where he left her.

He sighed in disappointment, thinking he was going to find her awake. Continuing to walk inside to the side of the bed, reaching to hold her cold hand and tries to warm it. Looking at her with soft eyes thinking about how beautiful she is and takes a closer look at her face.

Softly touches her face against his fingers as if she was a fragile doll, slowly trailing his fingers to her neck and to her chest. Slowly removing some of the white robes between her covered breast and revealing a scar, touching the cursed scar his counterpart created.

'You couldn't even protect her as the Original…' Grinding his teeth together and his eyes slowly glowing in frustration. He wanted to kill his counterpart for this very reason and believed with Kageroza's power he can provide the protection he needs to keep her safe. 'No need for another in her life…with this power, I will protect her.'

Looking at her sleeping, his eyes soften once more and the glow in his eyes dimmed back to normal. He's anger slowly calming down seeing how beautiful she was and need to be careful around her so he wouldn't accidently hurt her.

Their fingers intertwined with another, moved his face close to her chest to leave a soft long lingering kiss on the scar. The scent of peaches overwhelmed him, soon felt his lips and the tip of his tongue on her scar.

"Taicho…I think it's a kiss on the lips to wake up the sleeping beauty. Not in between the breast." A voice coming by the door "people are going to think you're going to rape her" the 10th squad vice-captain chuckled.

"Matsumoto" glaring coldly as his eyes starting to glow. "Ah? I was just teasing Taicho! No need to get so angry!" She waved her hands as if it was a shield to protect her from the cold white reiatsu, He carefully fixed Hinamori's robes and returning his hands to intertwine with his fingers with hers.

"What do you want?" Asking coldly without removing his eyes away from Hinamori.

"Kageroza-sama wants to have a captains meeting about sealing off the human gate." She replied happily while crossing her arms "Once we close the gates, no one can't come back and I'll be the one and only TRUE goddess! Hohoho!" letting out a loud laugh.

"Finally some good news…" he said looking at his vice-captain "You know…You were created to look like her, right?" staring at Matsumoto. "What!? NO WAY! I'm so much younger and beautiful than that hag! Plus a few inches bigger in the chest area!" showing off poses as if she's on the front page of a magazine.

"...Whatever. Let's go" he sighed 'I swear, if they get any bigger they'll be the death of me...' Looking back to Hinamori and whispered softly "I'll be back…bed-wetter" giving a soft kiss on her head then he began to release her hand…

Feeling something stiffen between his fingers, his eyes widen in shock. "Momo?" no response, he looked down to see her fingers slightly move, and her eyelids moving. 'She's…She's waking up!' his eyes locked onto her, anxious to see her open her brown eyes.

"Taicho, we're going to be late!" Matsumoto walking towards her captain "Taicho? Are you liste—" covering her mouth with her hands in shock.

Slowly Hinamori trying to open her eyes, it was bright and blinding. She saw someone looking over her but; her vision was still blurry, few more blinks and the image started to clear to see a pair of turquoise eyes.

"..S..Shiro-ch..an?" she said softly.

"Yeah.. it's me…It took you long enough, bed-wetter." Trying to hide his expression, but truthfully was trilled she was awake. As she looked at his eyes, her eyes were filling up with tears and softly cried. She tried to push him away but her strength was still weak.

The Reigai was in shocked at her reaction "What's wrong Hinamori!?" trying to hold her "Does something hurt!? Matsumoto, bring Unohana." He ordered.

"But, Taicho the meet-" Matsumoto said. "BRING UNOHANA! NOW!" he roared loudly. Putting Matsumoto in fear she quickly shumpo away to bring help.

Alone together, looking back at his Hinamori who was still crying, he felt helpless and all he could do was hold her hoping whatever the pain was would go away. "Shiro-chan….why?" her voice was so quite but he heard her. "…What?"

Tthe same question she asked him during the unfaithful incident, pulling her away slowly to see her face filled with confusion. "Wh…Why did you... stab me…?" Hinamori closing her eyes and falling asleep in his arms. While holding her his eyes widen in shock and slightly shaking, He felt something broke inside of him.
