So? Back for more are you? Great because this is the second chapter to an awesome story! So Enjoy!

~ Chapter Two: Moving Out and In ~

The sun began to rise as a dirty, mud-covered Momo awoke from her peaceful dreaming. She dug her fingers into the dirt as she rose from the hard ground. It was still dark outside, but the sun was giving off enough for her eyes to see everything. She quickly found her clothes and shunpo'd back to her room to take a shower.

Hinamori sighed as the hot water hit her skin and began to wash away the night's activities. Images flashed inside her eyelids as a smile formed on her lips. She remembered playing and howling at things; nothing out of the ordinary.

Slipping out of the shower and into some human clothes (she bought some the other day to fit in), she made her way to the kitchen to make her something it eat when she saw her captain with a cup of strong smelling tea in his hands.

"How could you sleep with all that scary howling last night?" He quickly asked when he noticed her enter the room.

Momo nervously chuckled before she just shook her head. "I didn't hear anything. Are you okay? You seem…scared."

"I'm not scared! Just concerned is all." He took a sip of his tea before looking around the room.

"Maybe it was Captain Sanji Komamura?" she hated throwing him under the bus like that…again, but she had no choice.

"Maybe…I'll ask later." Shinji he sighed again before smiling at her. "Don't we look cute?" He laughed as she began to blush a gentle pink.

She was wearing a pink graphic tee with sparkles and skinny jeans. Her shoes were pink converses and she wore a punkie glove on her right hand. Her hair was done in a sporty ponytail and she wore a shiny lip gloss to make her lips shine a bit.

"Thank you Captain!" Then she noticed he was still in his uniform. "Are you not coming with us?"

"No, I'm not. It'd be a bit counterproductive if you send two captains for so long, don't you think?" Hirako chuckled as she thought about it and then nodded. "On a different note! Try some of this!" He said as he pulled out a small pack of gum from his sleeve.

Momo blinked as she looked at the odd item, but nevertheless took it and then stared at him. "Now what?"

"You unwrap it and then chew it." He smiled when he watched her face lighten up and a smile make her lips. "Good, huh? Now, when you see Toshiro, blow a bubble and then pop it!"

"Okay, if you say so captain."

~ After Breakfast~

Hitsugaya sighed as he waited for everyone to arrive at the gate. He was already in a bad mood today from lack of sleep. He didn't know what he wanted to do more, kill his vice-captain or scold Hinamori for what she caused last night…

~ Last Night in Toshiro's Room~

"Captain! CAPTA~IN!"

Toshiro jolted up from his bed as he looked around, he was barely able to growl before Rangiku ran into his room and enveloped him in a bear hug.

"What are you doing in here?!" He yelled at her, but when he saw her face, his anger faltered. "What's wrong?"

She was about to speak when another howl echoed in the distance, he knew that it was Hinamori's howl from years of listening to it. He felt her shiver around him and he sighed.

"The howls are bothering you?" He stated.

"They sound so close by! What if it comes in here and finds me delicious-looking and tries to eat me?"

"…Get off me." He sighed as he pushed her to the floor and laid back down in his bed.

"You're so MEAN!"

~ End of Flash Back~

Toshiro sighed again as he pinched the bridge of his nose in an attempt to stop his headache.

/ You know she was calling out to you, don't you? That is why she continued to howl. / Hyorinmaru stated as he flapped his wings to stretch them.

"I know that." He whispered to his blade. "I wish…I wish I could help her."

/ Why not ask Captain Komamura for advice? He too, is a wolf. /

"Hinamori doesn't want anyone else to know. I'm going to respect her wishes and keep it that way." Toshiro snapped. In truth, he thought about it already, but was afraid what everyone's plan of action would be.

/ Maybe you could find aid in the Human World? A secret kept for this long is bound to come out sooner rather than later and with tonight being another full moon…/

Before either of them could continue their thoughts, the gang came walking up, however, Toshiro was only staring at Hinamori. She was wearing some of the cutest clothes he had ever seen her wear and seemed to be chewing on something. When she made eye contact with him, she blew a bubble from the sweet treat and then popped it, making him jump slightly.

"Captain? Hell~~o! You home?" Rangiku waved her hand in front of his face to try and get him out of his daze.

Toshiro shook of the confusion and glared at her. "What?! What do you want?!"

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but we gotta go." Rangiku sighed as she walked through the gate and disappeared.

~ In the World of the Living~

"If another person asks me what number I use to dye my hair I'm gonna-!"

"Pop a vein it looks like!" Momo laughed as she ruffled up her best friend's locks. "It is an unusual color Shiro-chan."

"I thought I told you not to call me that." He snarled at the giggling girl. He wasn't mad at her really, but she knew more than anyone that he wasn't a people person. How he wished he could just sit on his granny's porch and watch the sun set with her.

"Hitsugaya-kun? Are you all right? You've been really spacey today." Hinamori asked before she popped her chewing gum again.

"Whatever. Let's just go get Kurosaki and fill him in." He sighed as he led the chatty group down the street.

"Are you going to be staying with us, Hina-chan?" Matsumoto asked; a sly smirk on her lips.

"I don't really know. I don't want to be a bother to anyone." The young girl mumbled in thought.

"I've already thought ahead and made plans. We'll be staying in a cabin in the woods along with Ichigo. His father just got done building it in case we may need a place to stay." Toshiro scratched the back of his head as he pondered how that just sounded.

"Why do you get the cabin?!" Yumichika Ayasegawa yelled as he flipped his hair.

"He can keep it! There are werewolves in the forests! You can hear them even in Soul Society." Ikkaku Madarame whispered to his friends.

"What?! You believe in that legend?" Renji Abarai groaned his he shook his head. "They used to tell us that as kids to keep us from running off at night."

"I've seen one! They're real I tell you!" Ikkaku Yelled, but was smacked on the back of the head by Rangiku. "Hey! That hurt!"

"Be quiet, you idiots." She sighed.

"You better not be calling me an idiot." Toshiro mumbled, but was really paying attention to Momo.

~ At the Kurosaki Residence~

"So, that's what's going on, huh?" Ichigo said as he rubbed his chin.

"Don't act you had anything better to do!" Rukia snapped as she swatted him with a pillow she grabbed from the living room couch.

"I don't remember agreeing to help you guys or stay in a cabin!" He yelled back as he tried to fight her off. "Quit it!"

Toshiro sighed, having doubts about he plans but could no longer back out of them. "I called your father ahead of time. Now, get ready so we can settle in." He rose and looked at Momo. "Hinamori, let's go."

"Alright, Shiro-chan." She chirped as she quickly rose and waved goodbye to everyone.

Momo knew why he had called for the cabin, but couldn't think of a reason why he would bring Ichigo along. Was it to keep everyone from chatting behind their backs or was it so he could keep an eye on him, but why would he need to do that? She shook her head to rid herself of the thoughts, but the action seemed to capture the attention of a worried Toshiro.

"Are you alright, Hinamori?"

"Oh! I'm fine! Just thinking is all." She smiled at him before she went back to her thoughts, or tried to anyway.

"Does it hurt?"

The question caught her off guard, causing her to stop her running and stand still. "Huh?" They were quite far into the woods now, so no one could see or hear them.

"When you turn…does it hurt?" Toshiro asked again. She noticed how soft his eyes were and found it hard not to look into them.

"N-no. Not anymore. Why are you asking me this now?" She asked with a voice just above a whisper.

"I don't want you to be in pain. I never really got the chance to ask you before so…I thought I'd ask now." He was nervous. It was such a forbidden topic for them but he had so many questions; however, he didn't want to make her uneasy either.

She could smell that he was nervous, but she could also see it too. He never acted this way when the others; or anyone really, were around him. Momo knew he only dropped his guard for her and his Granny and that was something she cherished greatly. "I'm not in pain. It's happened so many times now that I've grown used to it."

"That doesn't mean you don't hurt, Hinamori!" Toshiro snapped, but quickly hung his head in shame. "Sorry."

"Let's just get to the cabin. I'll make everyone some tea." She whispered; changing the subject just like that.

"Tea would be nice."
