Chapter 7

I opened my eyes to find an empty white pillow and unoccupied peach sheets where Hinamori was suppose to be, and I groaned as I saw the light fluttering through her blue drapes. I closed my eyes and groaned again into my hands as I remembered the night before. Her kisses so soft and sweet, yet she made me lose my guard.

I was careless, but thank god she fainted due to either my expertise or exhaustion.

I rolled out of her bed and hit my head on her night desk. Shit! I wrinkled my nose. Her scent is still in my head, hazy but it's there.

I noticed a folded pink paper on the desk I just hit my head on. It read:Sorry, I've got school, plus I couldn't wake you because you just looked so cute. Anyways talk to you later. The note was doodled on with a bunch of hearts and xoxo. I sighed. I got off the floor and headed to the door, I took a deep breath before opening it then I let the sunlight hit me immediately shielding my eyes.

Vampires can last in the sun for about a half n hour until their completely covered in freshly bleeding wounds but we're also fast healers. As for me, I can last up to an hour maximum before I can actually feel the pain, and kidou doesn't affect me in any way unlike the others. That's what I get for being a pure blood, being put in second command with the Commander-General overall but that's only because I am the one with the 'most' experience. He puts me in charge of the new fledglings.

I crept deep within the shadows of Seireitei until I arrived at my destination to find that Matsumoto had already finished off the paper work. I am impressed. She smiled at me. Not at all, it's not everyday that I find my taichou so preoccupied. Getting it on with the fukutaicho of the 5th?

I growled. Okay! Okay! Relax. I just find it hard to believe that 'you' couldn't control the lust. Did she really taste that delicious? I sighed. She's better than I imagined, if I hadn't fed the day before, I could of taken her life right then and there. Matsumoto smirked. Can I have a taste?

She began to slowly approach me, her expression; innocent. She used two fingers to slowly make them walk up my chest. I narrowed my eyes and glared at her. I am sure you still have some of her blood on you somewhere. I grabbed her hand and dropped it. Sorry I don't have enough to share. "Taichou, that's not fair! You can't take Hinamori-chan away!" I smirked and waved at her. "Whose gonna stop me?" I joked.

I arrived at the first divisions' headquarters and knocked on the Commander-General's door. "Proceed." I heard his command muffled by the thick doors. "Ah, Hitsugaya-taichou I've been expecting you. Please make yourself comfortable."

I placed myself on a chair and cleared my throat. "There's a matter I need to discuss with you."

"Is this concerning Hinamori-Fukutaicho?" I didn't respond.

"I see. Yes I've just had a discussion with Kai-taichou a few days back, concerning about Shiki Ryuu's condition."

My eyebrow twitched as I clenched my jaw. Shiki Ryuu. I repeated the name to myself. "What about him?" I asked uninterested.

"I believe he's learned his zanpakuto's name." I felt a slight pain as if my heart was supposed to skip a beat.

"What?" I whispered. "What does this mean?"

"It means that he's capable of being in position of a vice-captain."

'There's no room for him." I shot back.

"Indeed there's not, besides one; Hinamori Momo of the 5th." I clicked my teeth.

"She's only similar to that of a mortal meaning that it's not possible for her to be one."

And if she wasn't? The Commander-General raised an eyebrow. It's against the law to change another being, unless he/she is in a near-death state either than that, Hitsugaya-taichou I assume for you to follow orders, and understand that this will not change.

Of course sir, if you'll excuse me.

I headed back to my headquarters only to stop as I heard Tomoe and Matsumoto in the midst of their 'girl' chats. I don't want to be in the middle of that again, and worse they were drunk last time. I headed for a place that I knew I could clear my head. Rukongai. I didn't realize how slow I was actually going until I felt Hinamori's reitsu coming from the Sokyoku hill. She's home.

I deliberated only for a second then I was heading back in minutes. It didn't surprise me that she wasn't there but I didn't expect her to shove me into her room even before I felt her behind me. The next thing I knew was that I was on her bed staring at her as she straddled me.

"Hinamori?"

"I am home." She purred into my ear.

I felt her nibble my ear then she was trailing her mouth along my neck and jaw; biting and kissing till she had me in a full out make-out session. I let her continue her teasing even when she twisted and played with my hair as she kept kissing me along the neck. But I stiffened when I felt her hands run pass my neck and arms as she began play with my cloaks.

I moved my hands to immediately grasp hers, but she didn't seem to mind as she occupied my mouth once again slipping her tongue into my mouth as she wanted me to play. I released her hands, thankful that they didn't move as I slid mine up her arms.

She smiled and moaned against my lips as I continued along her sides and then I tickled her. She snapped up and began to laugh as I continued to tickle her more.

"Stop, H-Hitsu-hee-hee- gaya-kun! Eeek!" she squealed.

I stopped when I saw tears coming out of her eyes and then she slapped my hands away and fell backwards onto the opposite side of the futon. We were both panting as we silently waited for our breath to returns.

"Wow." Hinamori gasped after she sat up to smile at me.

I smirked at her when she proceeded to lie down beside me, and then I wrapped an arm around her as she snuggled into me.

"So how was your day?" I whispered.

"Same old, same old; teach, learn, work, and home."

"I see."

"And yours?" I frowned.

"Very…interesting." I mumbled.

"Hm…how?" she began to trace patterns along my chest.

"Well to start things off, Shiki Ryuu learned his zanpakuto's name and that he was capable for being a vice-captain," her fingers paused only for a moment and began again. "And the Commander-General said that you'd be fit enough to be a mortal meaning that Ryuu would take position," I gulped. "In your place."

"What?" Her fingers twitched on my chest.

"But I told him I wouldn't let that happen." I half-lied.

"But you just told me what's happening!"

I half rolled on top of her. "It hasn't been decided on, but that's only if you'll be staying mortal." I whispered into her ear.

"What are you talking about?"

I kissed her neck. "I am saying that I can change you. That you won't have to leave and you can stay with me."

She began hyperventilating. "I don't know if I want that."

"Is that a challenge?" I joked seductively. I tilted my head up and looked her in the eyes and then she closed them. I kissed her neck feeling her pulse beating at least 160 beats per minute. My fangs came out; sharp and sleek. I won't hurt you, little bird, little dear.

"Please." Her voice barely audible for a human.

"You're underestimating my self control." I mumbled. Her grip tightened around my neck. I closed my eyes and withdrew from her. She's not ready. I looked up at her dazed angel face and kissed her fiercely before slipping out the door. I found Tomoe still at my headquarters with a drunken Matsumoto.

"Hey taichou!" Matsumoto shouted.

"Matsumoto told me something very interesting…"Tomoe whispered with a hint of seriousness and anger.

"Hey taichou, I didn't know that sex was even allowed on a vampires' schedule."

"Hitsugaya-taichou…" Tomoe whispered. I turned around and shut the door, but even so I couldn't drain out Matsumoto's hysterical fits of laughter that echoed through the halls. I ran through Seireitei, leaving my other half and brought forth the demon within to feed.
