The 100 HitsuHina Themes Challenge

Theme #3: Do Not Disturb

Fourth Division Lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu opened the slide door to the tenth division office. Just as she is about to say something, someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her back. Feeling off balanced, she fell onto the wooden flooring. "Itte, what was that about Rangiku-san?"

Placing a finger between her lips, Matsumoto hushed the other vice-captain and replied, "Do not disturb; taicho is sleeping right now."

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot; he takes his naps during this time of day."

The strawberry orange haired woman nodded with agreement. "If you wake him up, he's going to become one grumpy captain for the rest of the day."

"Is it really that bad?"

"Oh yes, what do you expect from him?" At that moment, Hitsugaya, who is sleeping on the sofa, stirred for a bit before resting once more. The two female Soul Reapers sighed with relief. "We almost sighed our death sentence."

The taller female quickly nodded with agreement. "Yeah..."

There was a silent pause.

"Come to think of it, how do you know that Hitsugaya-taicho gets in a very bad mood whenever you disturb his sleep?"

"Oh, I learned it from Shuhei," Matsumoto replied. "It was decades ago when taicho just graduated from the academy. During that time, he was the third seat in the tenth division. I asked him to do some paperwork in the office while I was away for a vice-captain's meeting."

"Ano Rangiku-san, you shouldn't be doing that to your third seat," Isane pointed out.

"It can't be helped that things turn out the way they are," the strawberry orange haired woman said. "Besides, we didn't have a captain to lead the division back then."

"Let's get everything ready before Kyoraku-taicho gets here," Matsumoto said upon entering her division office with ninth division lieutenant, Shuhei Hisagi. "Oh..."

"What's wrong, Rangiku?"

Raising a finger up, she pointed at the person lying on the sofa with his hands between his head and cushion. "Hitsugaya is sleeping."

"So, that's the child prodigy everyone has been talking about lately," Hisagi said. "He really is young."

The strawberry orange haired woman walked over to the desk to check the paperwork. To her amazement, he finished all the paperwork just as he was told to do.

"What is he doing here anyway?"

"I told him to do some paperwork for me. Besides, he's my third seat."

It is when Shuhei made a face. "You're serious? You let him become a high ranked Shinigami that quickly? He needs time to get used to the ropes around the Gotei 13 before giving him some responsibility."

"Oh stop treating him like a kid!"

"...but he is a kid."

There was a brief pause. "Good point, but I'm the act-in captain. I decide what rank he is assigned to. Out of all the people in my division, Hitsugaya has the most potential to do better."

"Really?"

She nodded with agreement. "He constantly seeks improvement in order to gain approval. With that in mind, I know he's going to go a long way."

Hisagi then let out a defeated sigh and walked over to the office desk where Matsumoto is organizing papers together. "Anyway, you better wake him up or else the others are going to be here."

"Why don't you do it?" Rangiku asked as she opened a few drawers and take out several different bottles of sake. She placed them on the desk surface. "Besides, I'm a little busy getting the party ready."

"Fine, I'll wake him up."

"Arigato Shuhei, you're the best."

"Yeah yeah..."

The short haired lieutenant walked over to the third seated Soul Reaper and got down to his knees. Taking a good look at the white haired boy resting, he confirmed that he is in a deep sleep. He thought, "What could go wrong? It's just waking him up."

He placed a hand on his shoulder and began nudging him awake.

"Hey Hitsugaya, it's time to wake up."

Toshiro responded by letting out small grunt. He flicked his superior's hand away before turning his back toward him. After that, he went back to sleep. Hisagi did the same thing and tried again.

"Oi, wake up."

The young Shinigami didn't budge this time. As a result, Shuhei started shaking him from side to side.

"Wake up, Hitsugaya."

All of a sudden, Matsumoto let out a minor shriek. Feeling chills running up her spine, she turned around and said, "Oi Shuhei, what is going on over the-"

The first thing she saw was the ninth division vice-captain suddenly turn into a human Popsicle. Surprised beyond disbelief, she looked over at her third seat, who just went back to his resting position and went back to sleep as if nothing ever happened.

"He is one moody person when he doesn't get enough sleep."

"From that day forward, we all just left him be whenever he asleep," Matsumoto concluded. It is when she saw the taller woman placing a finger on the side of her mouth, thinking. "What's wrong, Isane?"

"I was just wondering if he acts the same way whenever Hinamori tries to wake him up," Kotetsu replied. "Those two have grown up together in Rukongai, right?"

The strawberry orange haired lieutenant then folded her arms over her chest. "Hn, you do have a point there. I never have seen Hinamori try to wake him up from his sleep."

"Rangiku-san, Isane-san, what are you two doing here sitting on the floor?" asked a voice.

The two women looked up to see the fifth division lieutenant in their presence. At that moment, Matsumoto quickly stood up from the ground and greeted, "Oh hey Hinamori, you're just in time!"

Momo raised an eyebrow, puzzled about the situation. "I'm just in time for what?"

"We've been wondering if you could wake up taicho for us."

She looked inside the office to see the white haired Shinigami sleeping peacefully on the sofa. Turning back to Kotetsu and Matsumoto, she pointed a finger at herself. "You want me to wake up Shiro-chan?"

Rangiku nodded with agreement. "You see, other people tried to wake him up before. Whenever that happens, Hitsugaya-taicho wakes up in a very bad mood. The last thing we want is for the offic-no, the division headquarters to be covered with ice."

Taking a step closer to the fifth division vice-captain, she placed her hands together.

The woman pleaded, "Onegai Hinamori, wake him up."

The peach girl took a moment to think about it before she replied, "Okay, I'll wake him up."

"Arigato Hinamori," Isane thanked. "Your kindness is greatly appreciated."

The younger Soul Reaper smiled. "It's no problem; it has been a while since I did this. The last time I remember, I woke him up in the middle of his nap back when we were still living in Junrin'an together."

"R-Really?"

"Yep."

With that said, the raven haired girl entered the office. Watching from behind the door sill, Matsumoto and Kotetsu watched Hinamori work her magic on the sleeping Hitsugaya. "Do you think she's actually able to pull it off?" Isane asked.

"We'll just have to wait and find out," Rangiku replied.

Momo walked over and carefully took a seat on the edge on the sofa so that she doesn't disturb the sleeping captain from his slumber. She then extended a hand out. Once she brushed his loose bangs off to one side, she got a better look at her childhood friend. After cracking a smile, she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Shiro-chan, it's time to wake up."

In response to her voice, Toshiro let out a small groan. He stirred for a bit before he stopped moving once more. Noticing that the first plan didn't work out, she moved onto her second one. She leaned even closer to the white haired Shinigami. It was to the point where the two are inches apart from making some sort of face contact with one another.

"I said it's time to wake up."

At that moment, a smirk crept up on his face indicating that he is awake and aware of her presence. Regardless, he kept his eyes closed and turned his head away from the peach girl. Momo smiled in return. If Plan A and Plan B didn't work out, she has to resort to Plan C. Luckily for her, it always works. Hinamori closed the distance between her and her childhood friend by giving him a wake up kiss on the lips. When she pulled away, she saw a pair of emerald-teal eyes open and looking at her. Toshiro smiled.

Smiling with amusement, Hinamori asked, "Good afternoon sleepyhead, did you have a nice nap?"

Hitsugaya stretched his arms above his head and let out a satisfying sigh. He replied, "Not really, but getting a wake up call from you made up for that."

She giggled in response before standing up from her seat. "Well, I better get back to my office."

The white haired Soul Reaper sat up from his seat and asked, "So soon?"

"I would like to stay here a little longer. However, I'm a little behind on my paperwork. I only came here to drop off some papers for Rangiku-san. It's stuff that she missed out on the last vice-captain's meeting."

He let out a defeated sigh. "Alright then, I'll see you later, Momo."

"Same here, Toshiro."

With that said, the two childhood friends went their separate ways. Hinamori let out a content smile as she left the tenth division office. Noticing the dumbfounded expressions on their faces, she walked past and said to her older peers, "That is how I usually disturb the tenth division captain in the middle of his afternoon nap without having him to get into a very bad mood."
