Chapter 4: Invisible
"Thank you for taking care of me Unohana Taicho!" Hinamori bowed before the 4th division captain. Unohana smiled "be sure to rest, Hinamori-san…Matsumoto-san, please look after her as well."
Matsumoto bowed "Hai!" The two vice-captains leaving the 4th division as Hinamori began to rub her eyes again, she could have sworn she saw a blurry image of something standing in front of her.
"Momo-chan?..." Matsumoto looking at her friend rubbing her eyes. "Ah, It's nothing I should get back to my division! Bye Rangiku-san!" Hinamori began to rush towards her division, without realizing Hitsugaya was standing in front of her.
Hitsugaya was about to open his arms out but, she went right through him. Hitsugaya felt a drift of air passing, the emptiness of his heart.
Matsumoto watched her friend running to her division without realizing her captain was right in front of her "Taicho…" Watched her captain just stand there as he slowly looked at his hands.
He felt he was disappearing from her slowly, the only person he cared about in this life. Looking over his shoulder to see the 5th division rushing towards her division "There has to be something I could do…" He said to himself.
Matsumoto nodded "I think we should go visit the 12th division labs to see if there's something new and tell him about Momo-chan's blurry visions."
Hitsugaya crossed his arms "Let's go."
Entering the labs inside the 12th division, Hitsugaya approached the mad scientist "Ah what a surprise, come to destroy my experiments again, Hitsugaya Taicho?"
The 10th division glared at the scientist, clearly not in the mood to play games or be mocked. "Myuri…Hinamori fuku-taicho, she doesn't see me or hear me. She's been rubbing her eyes…" Hitsugaya said in a cold tone.
"Rubbing her eyes?" Myuri question as Hitsugaya nodded "she sees a blurry image…Whenever she looks at me."
"Interesting... I guess your existence isn't completely gone" Myuri chuckled "That blurry spot she's seeing is probably the only existence that is lingering around from you."
"Tsk tsk...Poor girl, even if you tell her who you are- she still wouldn't remember who you are."
He had a point, even if Hinamori can see Hitsugaya open doors and hold objects in front of her, she would just be scared and that's the last thing he wanted. If he wrote his name on a piece of paper, it would be just a random name she never heard.
Hitsugaya crossed his arms "…What can I do?"
Myuri typing on the keyboards "Nothing, her memories of your existence is up to her if she can remember who you are" Myuri turning back to work on his experiments "…But, this should be quite the experiment to see how valuable your existence is or should I say, if it's worth remembering!"
The mad scientist began to laugh as Hitsugaya turned around to leave the division…
Hinamori arriving in her office with the door closed behind her. Seeing a stack of papers waiting for her on her table, she pulled up her sleeves "Time to start some work!"
Before she started she made some tea for herself soon, a strong breeze entered the room. Turning around she saw no one only the sound of trees swaying in the breeze outside the open window.
She went back making her tea; without realizing someone was in the room with her…
Hitsugaya stood by the window watching his childhood friend. His eyes soften as she made her way back to her table and started to work on her paperwork.
-KNOCK! KNOCK!-
"Come in!" Hinamori replied as a female shinigami entered the room. She bowed her head and looked at the vice-captain and the captain who was sitting on the window sill "Good afternoon Hinamori-Fukutaicho and Hitsu-"
Her voice trailed off as Hitsugaya shook his head and press his index finger against his lips "Don't say it."
Confused the female stayed quiet as the captain commanded, Hinamori turned towards the direction where she was looking at and back "Erm...Is there something there?" The shinigami's eyes widen as she stood there for a moment and shook her head "N-Nothing Hinamori-Fukutaicho! H-H-Here are the papers you need to sign!"
"Thank you" Hinamori smiled as the shinigami bowed and quietly left the room with the door closed. "I wonder what made her so nervous..." Hinamori asked herself, the young captain deeply sighed.
Moments passed as the captain sat on the window sill quietly with his arms crossed and watched her work. Smiling as she looked at the paperwork and humming to herself. He couldn't help but seeing how beautiful she was with her bright smile.
Soon his heart ached; he never got the chance to tell her how he truly felt about her. How much she meant to him...
Hitsugaya stood up and walked towards the 5th division's desk. Quietly he leaned towards her as they're lips were only a few inches away "Momo…There's something I want to say" he quietly said, there was no response as she just continued to work.
"I..." his words stopped as he looked at her. His eyes were filled with sadness, not the fact that she couldn't hear him or see him but she didn't remember who he is. The memories of how they met and times they spent together. She will never know the true reason why he joined the shinigami academy.
They made a special promise together to always look after each other but, Hitsugaya vowed to become stronger to protect her and hoping she would notice him as not only a childhood friend but, as a man who will be there by her side forever.
Pulling away, Hitsugaya lowered his head and hid away his eyes with his white hair bang. He reached to touch her hand which was holding some papers…
His hand went through her as he touched the wooden desk; his eyes soften and kept looking at her. How beautiful she is and her smile that he could never get used to, he was just a captain that was invisible to her.
Looking away he walked towards the window. As he was about to shumpo out he heard something…
"…Hitsugaya…Toshiro…" Hinamori said as Hitsugaya stopped himself and turned around.
"Momo?" he said as he walked towards her but realize she was reading a paper that he signed earlier. She placed the paper down and read it carefully. Hitsugaya watched her put her finger around the signature and followed the brush strokes.
She had examined the signature as if it was a map to a treasure chest. "Who is this…" she said to herself as Hitsugaya felt his heart slowly being squeezed hearing the words. All of their memories together they created, all gone…
He lowered his head 'Momo…Have you really forgotten all about me?' Suddenly, Hitsugaya saw a hand reach out to him as the hand went through his chest. Lifting his head up, he saw Hinamori staring right into his eyes.
Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't realize she had stood up and walked towards him. Their faces were only a few inches apart...
Rubbing her eyes, she squinted "Why is it blurry here…" moving her hands around the blurry spot. Soon it disappeared as Hinamori lowered her hand "Ah, It's gone…What was that?" she looked at her own hand.
Hitsugaya shumpo roof to roof with his head lowered, he couldn't take it anymore. The look she gave to him, even if she can't see him…He felt like a stranger to her eyes.
Matsumoto looking up to see her captain as she pursued him "TAICHO!" she called out. Hitsugaya kept shumpo as he quickly disappeared. Matsumoto couldn't catch up to a captain's level as she stood on the roof.
"Don't give up on her Taicho…" Matsumoto said softly.
The sun was slowly setting as Hinamori stretched her arms "Nngh! Finally all done!" stacking the papers neatly she placed it on the table. Slowly standing up, she stopped for a moment and looked for a current signature in the stack of papers.
Pulling the paper out, she looked at the bottom. Signed in black charcoal ink 'Hitsugaya Toshiro, 10th division captain' she looked carefully, she didn't understand why she was so drawn to the name…
"Hitsugaya Toshiro…The 10th division captain?" Hinamori sat there looking at the signature. "Hmm…I guess he's the new 10th division captain?"
"I don't remembering seeing the 10th division captain…" She tried her best to remember but couldn't think of anyone.
"Oh well…I'm sure I'll ask Rangiku-san or probably see him around!" Placing the paper back in the stack, Hinamori walked towards the window and rested her hands on the window sill as she closed her eyes to feel the breeze. Feeling her bangs brush away from her face…
Suddenly, she saw herself in the same place in her dreams. The tall grass with the warm breeze blowing with a stranger in white robes. She couldn't make out a face as she approached him.
"Are you…Are you the one who keeps calling my name?" she asked.
He stood there quietly with the sounds of the tall grass blowing in the wind. Hinamori's eyes soften, she only saw white robes as she placed a hand on the back of his back, it was warm as Hinamori leaned her head against his back.
"Momo…" he said as Hinamori opened her eyes slowly.
"You need to remember...If you don't…" he said as Hinamori lifted her head to see the back of his white hair flowing in the wind.
"If you don't…I'll disappear."
"Momo-chan!" a voice called as Hinamori snapped her eyes open. She turned her head and saw a hand on her shoulder. "Momo-chan, are you okay?" Matsumoto called out to her friend as Hinamori held her head "Rangiku-san…"
"What's wrong? I've been calling you this whole time…Almost had me worried" Matsumoto sighed in relief. "I'm sorry…I…Just keep having these visions of someone…" Hinamori said.
"Vision? Of who?" Matsumoto arched her eyebrow.
"I…I don't know, he won't show me his face…It feels like I known him for a long time…" Hinamori sudden felt the world shake as she fell onto the floor "MOMO-CHAN!" she heard Matsumoto's voice fade in the back.
