Hikari's POV

"Oh man, not again! I think I just experienced those living nightmares, where Megumi-chan stabbed me, again just now! I usually get it at night when I'm asleep, but today, I think it happened again…this time, with Ichigo watching me instead! Omg, this feels so embarrassing! Oh no, I've got a lot of explaining to do huh?" I said, feeling utterly embarrassed that Ichigo-kun had witnessed me in my worst weakest moments.

Quietly, I opened the door & stepped out, intending to just slip out unnoticed.

"Hikari!" Ichigo's voice echoed in my ears.

"Damn it! What's with all these shinigami people? How come they can sense everything? I'm pretty sure I did not make any noise!" I muttered, cursing & swearing under my breath.

I was too engrossed in cursing & swearing that I did not notice the other guest.

I immediately felt two people beside me, making sure I was steady & not going to faint again. One, was obviously Ichigo-kun. Sorry I mean Ichigo - he hates the honorific titles :/ & the other - oh yeah, I don't know who the other person is yet!

"I'm fine! Really, I am" I said, trying to reassure them.

"Um Ichigo, who is this?"

Before Ichigo could reply, that shinigami guy curtly said, "Hitsugaya Toushiro."

I stretched out my hand & said, "Takeshi…"

But before I could finish, he abruptly interrupted, saying, "Takeshi Hikari, I know."

I was shocked, this guy was so rude & cold!

Annoyed, I gritted my teeth & turned away, thinking to myself, "Hmph, I don't like this guy! So arrogant!"

Hitsugaya's POV

"I don't understand what's with her. & I do not like her, she's annoying! Just look at her pouting & sulking there!" I said in my mind.

"Childish!" I added.

"What? Did you just call me childish?" I heard her screech in my ears.

"Oops Master, you need to control your tongue," Hyōrinmaru warned me.

"Shucks, I didn't realize that I just said that out loud," I complained to Hyōrinmaru.

"Well, apparently you did!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!" I shouted in my mind to Hyōrinmaru, frowning as I realized I was fooling myself, seeing that Takeshi Hikari had already heard it.

"DID TOOOOO! JUST ADMIT IT, MASTER! YOU DID!"

"Fine, I did say it. But I didn't mean to. Well not aloud at least," I muttered, with the frown still in place on my face.

"HEY! ARE YOU FROWNING TO YOURSELF & IGNORING ME HERE?" I heard Hikari's voice, bringing me back to Earth.

Ignoring her, I shunpo-ed to Kurosaki & took my leave.

Behind me, I could hear a voice whining out, "HE'S IGNORING MEEEEE! COME BACKKK!"

Chuckling quietly to myself, I exited the Urahara Shop, leaving Kurosaki to deal with the girl. I wondered how he would do it. Soon I found myself frowning once again…

"Why did I chuckle at that silly girl's antics? Pfft, so childish! She's so much of an immature kid! But she does remind me of Hinamori," I thought to myself.

"Hinamori, she's still in coma. It was all Aizen's fault! It's because of him that she's in this state! If I get hold of him, I don't know what I'll do to him," I continued, feeling the anger rise within me, as I tightly grabbed onto the hilt of my zanpakutō.

"Master, this isn't the time to be thinking about this. You should be heading back to Gotei 13 now. They'll be wondering what kept you," Hyōrinmaru chided me.

"Yes, I should be heading back. & that Matsumoto had better be doing her paperwork & not drinking sake or partying around all day! Or I swear I'd kill her!"

"Master, cool it! She's your Fukutaicho afterall!"

"Oh yeah, Fukutaicho alright! Heck, she doesn't even do the paperwork! How then, can she match up to a Fukutaicho's standard?"

"Just relax, Master. You are decreasing the room temperature. & we had better get going, instead of arguing here all day long."

"Yes that's true, it's absolutely pointless arguing with you."

Back in Gotei 13

Hitsugaya's POV

I wanted to make sure Matsumoto was doing her paperwork even when I'm not around, which I highly doubted. But I decided to sneak in to check on her anyway. Silently, I opened the door to the 10th Division's office.

"MATSUMOTO!"

"Eh? Oh Taicho, you're back!" I heard a voice shriek from over the couch in the study.

From her voice, I could tell that she'd been drinking. Needless to say, there were bottles of sake lying around.

"Oh, so you still know that I'm your Taicho? Then, are you aware that you're a Fukutaicho? More specifically, the Fukutaicho of the 10th Division?" I spitefully questioned her, sarcasm clearly written all over my face.

"Taicho!" she whined.

"Master! She's still your Fukutaicho! Please relax. It's getting colder by the minute," an all-too-familiar voice rang in my head.

"Hyōrinmaru, stay out of this!" I muttered.

"If you want to see it snowing soon, that's fine by me!" he retorted.

"Argh, why do you always win?" I sighed, knowing I'll never win any argument with Hyōrinmaru.

"Oh, you the child prodigy, haven't figured it out yet? I'm your soul, Master. I know you even better than you know yourself."

"Okay you won, so shut up already!"

I didn't want to admit it. But he was right.

"You're only saying that because you know I'm right."

It's like he read my thoughts. Oh right, for a moment, I forgot that he's my zanpakutō spirit; so he knows what I'm thinking.

"Whatever."

At the Urahara Shop

Hikari's POV

"Ichigo!" I called out.

"Yeah?"

"Who was that?"

"You mean the white-haired guy who was here earlier on? He is Hitsugaya Toushiro, a shinigami. Captain of the 10th Squad at Gotei 13. Gotei 13 is the main military organization that most shinigami join after the Shinigami Academy. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. It's just that I find him very rude."

"Oh don't worry about that. He's always like that. Actually he's quite a nice guy when you get to know him. He's been through a lot, that's probably why he keeps up his cold & indifferent attitude."

"Sou desu ka?" I mumbled, turning my thoughts onto him, as I wondered what he could possibly have been through for him to put on such a stoic appearance.
