There was a loud smack as Momo was thrown on concrete floor face first, her nose making a cracking noise in the process. The raven haired girl started to sit up, holding her nose, but was stopped by a fit hitting her back forcefully. She cried out in pain, falling back to the floor as the brown haired man behind her addressed his attention to the two people in front of them.
"Mr. Hitsugaya," he said, addressing the elder of the two, "This is the last of the village you told me to invade."
"Very good Aizen," the man with white-grey hair and brown eyes said before looking at the younger boy, "Toshiro, this was your wish!" he exclaimed, noticing Toshiro's lack of expression, "You wanted to find out who from that village killed your parents!"
Upon hearing that, Momo looked up and studied the two people before them. One was rather old, with white-grey hair and brown eyes; he looked to be around seventy to eighty, and was currently wearing black pants and a grey t-shirt. The other person looked to be around her age, with white spiky hair and teal eyes; he was wearing grey pants and a black t-shirt.
How funny, Momo thought, They're wearing the same colors, just reversed.
"I already told you I didn't want to capture people," Toshiro sighed.
The older Hitsugaya member shook his head, "This was, you can get multiple things done!"
"Whatever Grandfather," Toshiro replied, wanting to drop the conversation.
"Well Aizen, since my grandson is being a nuisance once again, I shall be giving this girl her job."
No one said anything as the elder Hitsugaya thought. After a few moments of silence, elder Hitsugaya spoke, "Hm, we actually don't seem to have any jobs left for you," Momo lit up at the words, "However," And her mood dropped again, "Even if this is not needed, you can privately work for Toshiro Hitsugaya."
Momo inwardly groaned. That was just great. She had to work personally for someone that most likely hated her.
"You will get up every morning with everyone else, but instead, you will do straight to his bedroom and wait further orders."
All Momo could do was nod until she was grasped by her hair on the back of her head, and pulled up. She bit her bottom lip in an effort to keep her cry of pain in, but failed as a small whimper escaped her lips.
"You know where to take her," Elder Hitsugaya said, watching Aizen grab Momo's arm roughly and drag her out of the room.
Aizen threw Momo into one of the many rooms of the separate building from the castle. Instead of falling this time, Momo stumbled but was able to right herself and keep her balance.
When Aizen slammed the door and left, Momo looked around the small room. There was one bed in the far right hand corner; straight ahead of her was a door that led to an even smaller room that served as the bathroom. Looking at the foot of the bed, she noticed a girl with long brown hair and emerald green eyes.
As if on cue, the girl looked up and offered Momo a soft smile, "You can sit on the bed too; I don't bite." Momo gave a quick nod before sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm Cho," the girl said, turning her head to Momo, "What's your name?"
"Momo."
"That's a nice name. Are you from Junrinan also?"
"Yeah," Momo nodded, "Did Hitsugaya order to work us?"
"That's what I've heard, but everyone has been skeptical. He doesn't seem to care does he?"
"No," she said slowly, shaking her head, "Actually, he told his grandfather that he didn't even want to capture anyone."
This seemed to spike Cho's interest as she turned fully around to face Momo, "Really? That's new. I was able, and don't ask me how, but I was able to talk to quite a few people and none of them said that."
Momo shrugged, "That's just what he said."
"Mmm, weird. But we should be grateful we aren't slaves."
"Aren't we really? I mean, we're being forced here against our will."
Cho immediately shook her head, "We're nowhere near slaves. They have to wear ratty clothes, sleep in a cell, and they're beat."
"How do you know we won't?" she asked quietly, remembering how she was thrown on the floor earlier.
"Well, I'm not so sure what Aizen will do; he seemed to treat you like shit, so I'd watch out for him. But Toshiro Hitsugaya..." Cho shrugged, "He just doesn't come off as that type of person, you know?"
Momo nodded, saying she agreed with Cho, as well to say she'll stay away from Aizen as much as she could. Besides, the man just creeped her right out.
"Well, we should get to bed. We have to get up around six."
Momo nodded again before both of them went to bed, Momo letting Cho have the bed.
"Granfather, why'd you make her work privately for me? I don't need anyone to do that. I can work and do things on my own."
"Yes, I know that Toshiro," the elder sighed, removing his glasses from his face as he lifted his head up from the paperwork on his desk, "And I know you already have a servant that does certain deeds for you, but this way, you don't have to wait constantly for him to deliver messages."
"That's not the point. I don't need a personal, as you say, "servant" since I'm able to do things on my own!"
"Yes, yes, I understand. But what if that girl is somehow involved in the murdering of your parents'?"
That got Toshiro to shut up for a moment, before he was able to reply, "She looks around my age. If that's true, she was only eight or maybe nine when they were murdered. It's not possible for her to be involved."
"All I'm saying Toshiro, is try to get information out of her about your parents' death. If she knew anything, she seems like the type that would give in."
Toshiro growled at his grandfather, before giving up on the argument altogether. There was no way to get through his grandfather's thick skull when he set his mind to something. But at the same time, he was right, what if the girl's parents or family members had done it? All he knew was that a flag representing the first district of Rukongai was left at the scene with his parents. He found that fishy at first, but seeing it was torn like it was caught, he believed that someone from there had done it. He just hoped to avenge his parents death in the next few months.
Translations: None this time XD
