~Chapter Four : Apology and question~
"GOOD MORNING, CAPTAIN HITSUGAYA!"
Our sought, favourite taichou blinked once. He had just arrived in the kitchen to eat and found an overly excited Kobayashi ,placing a plate full of food under his nose. "Um..thanks". Taking the plate, he made his way to the table where Abarai and Kira were already eating. Halting their movements, they greeted him and turnded back to eat. Taking a seat next to Abarai he too, began to eat.
Kobayashi who was still standing at the door, regarded him for a moment. A rush of guilt flooded through her when she saw his reddened eyes. She knew that he had been crying. She had known him well enough, to know that everytime Momo was mentioned, he would go all set and and sorrowful air would appear around him. But this time it was her fault. She hadn't a right to say that he didn't care about Momo's death when he obviously did. Feeling the tears fill her eyes at the thoughts about one of her best friends, she quickly blinked them away. Making her way to the table, she sat down next to Kira and began, like the others, to eat her breakfast.
When everyone finished eating they stood up, cleaned the table and plates and then left the room, in order to follow their things. Kira and Renji left first and went into their rooms. Hitsugaya followed them to go into his own room, when someone grabbed him by his wrist. Already knowing who it was, he turned arouned and raised a thin, white eyebrow. Aimi let go of his wrist and stared at the floor for a moment, before returning her gaze to the auquamarine-eyed boy. With fierce determination, she hold his gaze for a few miutes. "I'm sorry ! I really am. About yesterday I mean. It wasn't fair to say those things to you, when you're clearly upset about it. I hope you forgive me Hitsugaya-taichou." Hoped the small girl and bowed. She was ashamed that she was so disresepectful towards the 10th division captain. Blinking his eyes, the spiky, white haired boy stared at her for a moment before letting out a small sigh. "It's okay. Don't worry about it. I know you just be pretty upset ,too. But do me a favor please and don't say such rude things again. I can't promise that I don't snap the Nest time." Although his voice was gentile, Aimi could still hear the sternness. So she just nodded and walked past him to go to her room. Sighing again, the teenage boy made his way to his room.
Knock ,Knock "Hitsugaya-taichouuuuuuu!"
Blinking his eyes open, the sought boy sat up on his bed. Searching for his clock that was placed on his nightstand, the boy's eyes widened when he saw, what time it was. 16:19 pm. "I must have fallen asleep." he thought a suprised and a bit annoyed.
"Hitsugaya-taichouuuu!"
Remembering, that someone was calling him, he got up from his bed and went to his door to open it. Revealing Kira, who was standing a bit anxiously. He was even playing with his fingers, which meant that he wanted to ask something. Stepping away from the door, he let Kira inside his room. The pale blonde just stood there, lost in thoughts. "Don't you want to sit down?" Snapping his attention back to the captain. He hesitantly sat down on a nearby chair. Watching the taichou sitting on his bed, Kira took a deep breath. He didn't know how he should ask him, the question he desperately wanted to ask. After all, the young taichou could get really upset and mad. Mustering up all his courage, he dared to ask anyway. "Ehmmm...I really hate to disturb you, Hitsugaya-taichou. I m_mean, I d-din't Knox if you had some-" "Oi, Kira ! You're stattering." Interrupted the taichou bluntly. Feeling his cheeks reddening in emberassment, the lieutenant continued. "Ahh...yeahh...well, you see. I wanted to ask you something very important." Kira stopped for a Moment to gather his thoghts together. Meanwhile, Hitsugaya got really annoyed. He didn't know why Kira couldn't just ask him this damn quest-"
"I want to do a thoughts occasion for Hinamori-kun."
Upon hearing her name, Hitsugaya's eyes widened. Shock and surprise could be seen in them.
"What? Why?"
"Because, I don't want her to be forgotten." Replied the blond quickly, but with mich determination. I knew that we would't forget her, especially you taichou. But still, I want her to know that we miss her dearly and that her death had created a great loss for ALL of us. I came to you, beacause you were the closest to her. After all, you grew up with Hinamori-kun. I wanted to know your opinion to this." The sought taichou leaned back and sighed. Hinamori would have liked that and it would be a good occasion to mourn for her death, on her date of death. They would't and could't go to her grave, so he should agree with this. After a few minutes of thinking, he did "Alright , Kira. It's actually a every good idea. I think Hinamori would have liked it. So why not? But you do realize that we have still a mission to do, right?"
Kira knew that he was right, so he quickly nodded. "Yeah, I know that. We don't have to do anywith big. Just buying flowers and say something nice about her. Or something like that. Hinamori-kun deserves it. She was always so kind-hearted. And you could live in her smile. Not to mention that she could make you smile just by looking at her happy and cute expression." So lost in thoughts about his secret crush, he dind't notice that he had spoken his thoughts aloud and the jealousy creeping up on the captain.
"Did you tell her?"
"Huh?" Asked Kira rather dumbly.
Hitsugaya snorted. "I asked you if you told her that you loved her."
"Oh, I did, but she rejected me, because she loved somebody else. Of course I already knew who she loved. It wasn't THAT hard to figure it out, but I still wanted her to know how I feel about her."
Noding in understanding , the younger Shinigami could't help but feel regret that he hadn't the chance to tell her ,how he felt. Pushig his thoughts aside he stood up and mentioned the older Shinigami to do the same. After he did, they both went to the door, opened it and went out of the room. "Well, you were really brave to do it. I admire you for tha t. I'm sorry that she could't return your feelings." "Yeah. right as if I'm sorry about that" Thought the captain secretely. Kira merly smiled with an knowing Emile. He knew that Hitsugaya just wanted to be polite, so he went along with it. "Thnk you. But don't worry. I know now that we weren't meant for each other. Not to mention that I wouod be dead right now, if the person knew that I stole her away from him. So, I'm qiete content right now about it." "If you say so."
Even if he said it with a bored tone, Hitsugaya knew that Kira was right. He would really have killed him and let his dead body disappear somewhere, so nobody would found any evidence that it was actually him who killed the blonde boy.
"So, what do we do now?" Hitsugaya wanted to reply, but someone beat him to it.
"We're going to the mall!"
They both returned to the source of the voice, they found Aimi all prepared with her arms crossed over her chest. "And since when do YOU give orders?" Asked an, a bit annoyed , captain. The sought girl just grinned. "Well, we do still need a few things. So i thought we quickly get oder with it. Don't you agree taichou? " Instead to answer he just sighed and asked another question. "Where the hell is Abarai, Kobayashi?" "Oh, he just went outside for a bit to breath in fresh air, becaue he thinks that it is too stuffy in here. Oh that remins me, shouldn't we go visit the ryoka, since he lives here, too?" "Don't worry. We'll deal with him on monday when we're in school." Without another word the captain went outside to join his readhead companion. Kira followed after him. Shrugging her shoulders, Aimi picked up the key's for the house and trailer after them.
No one could know how the day would end.
A/N : Tadaaaaaa...finished with chapter four. Don't worry my der readers, Momo will appear soon enough. In the mean time what do you think? Good or bad? Until next time,then. Oyasumi nasai ,minna :D
