HEY GUYS! THANKS 4 ALL THE REVIEWS IN THE LAST CHAPPY! YAY! URESHI!...

…

'First time he met me?... did he forget me already?...'

"So you don't remember anything? The hospital? Me?... do you even remember Anthony and Bob?" Hinamori's voice started to quiver as anger built up inside of her. Then again, she wasn't really sure if the feeling growing within her was anger, disappointment or heartbreak.

"I'll be frank with you and say that I can only remember from now to 20th of August last year."

"What? Why?"

"Can't remember…"

"Then what about this?"

Momo slowly raised her pendant around her neck. The one that Toushiro'd given her only two years ago. The boy first squinted his eyes in order to study the small object in the dark. He already knew it was half a heart just by looking at it and could just make out the "ve you…" carved into it.

'I've seen that somewhere… somewhere…'

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP… BEEP, BEEP, BEEP…

"Hmm?" The boy reached for his cell phone before sliding it open with his thumb and checking the caller ID. He quickly accepted the call and put the phone to his ear. "Ah, Haru. Yea, I found her. Mhm… Do you want her to pack her bags before coming or just come and bring her belongings tomorrow?... so pack tonight and come tomorrow?... yea, whatever… I got it… See ya."

Hinamori stared at Hitsugaya with wide eyes as he slid the phone shut and slipped it into his pocket again. Pack her bags? Come tomorrow? Most of all, "I found her"? What was going on?

"Are you taking me somewhere?"

"Ah."

"Where and why?"

"Those are questions for later."

Toushiro quickly then got out a piece of torn paper from his pocket before grabbing Momo's hand and sprinting out of the park. The girl was too desperately trying to catch up with the boy's rapid speed that it took her a few seconds to realise they were running towards her apartment. The two stopped in front of her door, where Hinamori pushed the key into the lock and clicked her front door open. Huffing and puffing, the female dropped her schoolbag onto the floor before dumping herself on her futon.

'Wait… no, WAIT!...'

"Hey, Toushiro!"

"What?"

"How'd you get my address?"

"That's also for later…"

"Mou, everything's for later with you!"

"Not packing."

"What?"

"Pack. Now."

"Why?"

"I'll make dinner while you pack. Don't pack everything 'coz you could always buy more stuff later."

"Okay…"

Hinamori had to sit on her suitcase to let it click shut. She didn't put much in there. Only around 6 t-shirts, 6 pairs of bottoms and at least 3 skirts, 6 pairs of underwear, 3 pairs of shoes and a few toiletries. However, her horrid skills of folding clothing seemed to hinder the task of packing them.

The girl then got off her suitcase, wiping her forehead and smiling with pride by the fact that she FINALLY shut the damn thing…

"Hey! I called you for dinner at least five times…" Hitsugaya walked into Momo's room wearing a black apron, staring at the girl's smile of pride. He then looked at her suitcase and raised his eyebrow when he saw a white bra sticking out. "Your bra's sticking out."

"Eh?" Hinamori quickly leapt onto the suitcase and covered the undergarment with her hand only to accidentally fall off the side and hear a loud "CLICK" before her suitcase opened again. The boy then sighed and gently massaged his temples with the thumb and fourth finger of his right hand as Momo quickly tried to slam the thing shut again.

"I'll help you with that later. Dinner's getting cold."

"You don't have to help me! I can do it by myself! It's okay!"

"A girl should at least put her underwear at the bottom. It's also more convenient to roll your clothes really tightly than to fold them. Briefly, you're hopeless."

"Hey! I'm not hopeless!" Hinamori fought back before looking at the dinner set up at her dinner table. Cup noodles? "At least I can cook a proper dinner!"

"Can you cook something with lettuce, milk, cheese, cup noodles and left over beef?"

That one really got her. Thinking of it, Momo needed to go shopping for groceries that night but had forgotten with what'd happened at the park.

"What flavour are they?"

"Pork and ginger."

"Hm… can't be that bad I guess…"

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE-

SLAM!

Hinamori groaned as her hand seemed to automatically throw her alarm clock across the room, making it's batteries fall out. Her feet were the first ones to emerge from her thick blanket. She slowly made her way to her kitchen for breakfast.

Her groggy morning vision started to clear up as the sound of rushing water pouring from the shower filled her ears. Wait… she wasn't taking a shower…

"Huh?... Oh My God! Somebody's in my house!"

Momo grabbed a nearby lamp and ran towards where the sound was coming from. Without a thought, she knocked on the bathroom door with her knuckles. Again. And again.

"Yea, yea… Whaddya want?"

"Urgh!"

Hinamori quickly swung the lamp at the intruder but then froze when she realised that he'd caught it in his left hand before it even reached her face. She couldn't see his face properly due to the steam. Her hand quickly fumbled for a switch on the wall on her right and switched the fan on. The steam immediately started to clear up, making it easier to see the male's features.

"T-Toushiro? What are you doing here?"

"Taking a shower, baka."

"Oh My God! I'm SO sorry! I completely forgot what happened last night! I was really sleepy!"

"Yea, whatever."

"You okay?"

"Yea. More importantly… can you get out of my way so I can put some clothes on?"

"Huh?"

The girl looked down to realise that Hitsugaya only had a towel around his waist, showing off his well-toned body. A crimson blush rose to her cheeks as her hands flew to her face, covering her eyes.

"I'm SO sorry!"

"I got the idea. By the way, don't eat breakfast."

"Why?"

"We're leaving."

Silence hung in the air as the two teenagers sat next to each other on the train. Hinamori turned around and glanced at Toushiro, noticing that he was nodding off a couple of times.

"What time did you sleep last night?"

"It's none of your business." The boy retorted, rubbing his eyes with the back of his arm before trying to cover up a yawn but failing in the process. He was mainly a mature figure with an icy façade but sometimes, the way he acted was like a small child.

"Well, you're turning it into my business by nodding off next to me on the train!"

"I got some sleep."

"Just tell me! When did you sleep?"

"5am."

"But I woke up at 7! You were awake before me to be taking a shower!"

"Whatever."

"It's not 'whatever.'! Get some sleep."

"We're almost there."

"Where are we going?"

"Karakura."

"So far away?"

"It's not 'so far away.'"

"Whatever…"

Momo folded her arms and pouted her lips, looking away from her accomplice. She had to admit, he did change. She wasn't really sure how to explain it though… He still had the same, icy persona which was portrayed by his white hair, teal eyes and mature behaviour but something wasn't quite right… she couldn't say that he was 'distant' or 'colder'… he was just…

THUD…

Hinamori's chain of thoughts were smashed when Hitsugaya's head landed on her lap. Blushing, she leaned over to see if he was okay and giggled to find him asleep. Just like she said before. A child.

'I just hope that he doesn't drool on my lap…'
