…Peaceful Green Love…

Chapter 7: Feelings of Jealousy

A perfect morning comes few days after the Undokai. The cold autumn winds are blowing the windows, eager to touch the skins of the 5th division officials.

"Onegaishimas (please), Momo-chan!"

A small pile of paper work is passed to Hinamori. "Midori-chan… do you really have to pass paper works every 19 minutes?" she complained.

"Eh? It's my bad habit… Gomen ne, tsukiatte ii yo ne (sorry, please bear it with me)?" said Kunogi. In her desk, only a single small pile of papers left.

"Shouganai na (it can't be helped)…" sighed Hinamori.

In the 10th division office…

"Nee Taichou! What do you think about Kaguyahime? Isn't a nice story to show in the Gekishobai?" asked Matsumoto persistently.

"Do your share of paper work… then I will answer that." Said Hitsugaya as his eyes are fixed on his current work.

"Ehh… meanie Taichou." Sighed Matsumoto. She sits back to her desk and picks up a paper from her pile of paper works.

"You're the one who's mean to me… you always leave the works to me." Hitsugaya places the paper to the finished pile then takes another paper from the unfinished pile.

"Oh… I'm mean, Taichou. I should not abuse Taichou because I might be charged of child abuse!" teased Matsumoto.

Hitsugaya didn't want to be called child, "The word abuse is correct but I'm not child anymore." He said in a cold tone.

After a while of silence and sounds of paper movements, Hitsugaya leaves his seat. "Matsumoto, finish the paper works. I'm taking a walk outside." He leaves the office.

Hitsugaya goes out of the 10th division building and heads to one of the parks in Seireitai. The Momiji carrying autumn wind blows past him. His white captain's Kimono flatters.

Little distance away, Hitsugaya sees two figures.

"I have to return now. Ja ne (bye)!" waved Kunogi.

"Mata kondo (see you next time), Midori-chan." With a hand holding a small bento box, the other hand of Yamada waves at Kunogi.

'Yamada Hanataro… the 4th division's 7th seat… Does Midori likes him?' He stops walking and observes the two bidding good-bye. Hitsugaya jolts, 'why am I thinking something like this?! Midori rejected me… I should have forgotten her… She deserves someone she really likes…' deeply though Hitsugaya.

"BOO!"

"WAA! Mi-Midori! You startled me!" shouted Hitsugaya.

"It's because you dozed to long! I've been calling you several times!" Kunogi's sweet innocent expression is well shown.

"Well, I'm just thinking… Is it bad?" he crosses his arms like the usual pose he always do.

"Bad! Captains should be alert at all times!" yelled Kunogi.

"…" Hitsugaya didn't say anything else anymore.

Hitsugaya walks back to the 10th division to check out Matsumoto. Kunogi wants to visit Matsumoto so she goes there with Hitsugaya.

"Nee Toushirou-kun, what do you think about the Gekishobai? Until now, we still have no play to start." Interrupting the silence, Kunogi spoke.

Hitusgaya stares at the falling leaves, "Matsumoto suggested Kaguyahime." He said.

"Kaguyahime! That's a great one! I'm making a kimono for a princess! Isn't exciting?" smiled Kunogi.

"You think so? Tell that to Matsumoto. I don't really care what story are we going to show." Said Hitsugaya smoothly.

Silence again… The autumn leaves fall as each leaf flatters. Colors red, orange, yellow and brown dances with the wind.

"…Gomenne… Toushiro-kun…" whispered Kunogi. Her facial expression shows her sensitive side.

Hitsugaya snaps from the sudden change of Kunogi's expression. "Eh?"

"I know you loved me but I turned you down… Well, Hana-kun is my friend…" said Kunogi.

Hitsugaya catches a falling yellow leaf. He plays with it with his fingers. "Baka." Hitsugaya shoves the yellow leaf into Kunogi's cheek then lets it fall. "I know that. My brain is not air-filled." He continues to walk straight.

Kunogi stops. "You said that!" She gets angry. "Habaneko… Onegaishimas." Said Kunogi in a pleasing tone.

From behind, a huge shadow covers Hitsugaya. When he looks behind… "Waa!"

Bshaaa!

…A huge pile of different leaves dumped on Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya struggles to get out of the huge pile.

"Oi! Midori!" shouted the pissed emerald colored eye captain.

"You deserve it!" Kunogi crosses her arms in tuck then walks away.

After a few minutes of walking, Kunogi sees a familiar boy.

"Ohayo gozaimas, Midori-san. Such pleasant to see you this beautiful autumn season!" It's Matsutake…

"Ah, Matsutake-san… Ohayo!" greeted Kunogi.

"Ah Midori-san! Please call me Matsukichi!" begged Matsutake.

Kunogi lightly scratches her cheek, "That's impossible… It's hard to remember. I prefer to call you Matsutake-san because it's easier to remember. I love Matsutake mushrooms in Dashi soups." She said.

"Dashi soup…?" blanked Matsutake.

Kunogi waves, "Bye!" then she walks away.

"Wait!" Matsutake reaches for Kunogi's hand but…

"Habaneko" said Kunogi in a plain tone.

Bhaaa!

Kunogi did it again.

Watching behind the scene is Hitsugaya. "That guy…" whispered Hitsugaya.

"He makes me puke."

Hitsugaya jolts. "EH!"

Rokuda pops in. "So he didn't give up… I will show him my terror because he bugs my cousin." She stretches her fingers.

Crack. Crack.

"Murasaki… who's that guy?" asked Hitsugaya.

"Oh, that guy's name is Matsutake Ma… Ma… Makitaro? Eh, I don't remember his first name. Anyway, he's a selfish suitor of Midori." Said Rokuda.

"Suitor?!"

Rokuda nods. "He asks Midori's hand to marriage because he wants fame… THAT'S WHY I HATE THAT BASTARD!!!" shouted Rokuda.

10th division building hallway…

"Oya, oya… Kunogi taichou-han" said the Osaka accented 3rd division captain.

Lokkung behind, Kunogi stops walking. She wave her hand high, "Ichimaru taichou! Ohayo!"

Ichimaru walks towards Kunogi. "Visiting Hitsugya taichou-han?" asked Ichimaru.

"No, I already saw him a while ago. I'm visiting Rangiku-neechan." Smiled Kunogi.

Ichimaru smiles back, "Oh, we have the same objective… I'm visiting Rangiku-han too."

Kunogi shows excitement, "Then let's go together!"

They both walk towards the 10th division office.

Ichimaru opens the door to the office. After few steps…

"Ginnnnnnn!" the drunken vice-captain jumps to ride on Ichimaru.

Ichimaru catches Matsumoto, "Ra-Rangiku-han! You're drunk again… Yare, yare…" he brings Matsumoto to her favorite couch but Matsumoto won't let her grip on him.

"Ara… Rangiku-neechan is drunk…" Kunogi goes in the room.

Doing the 10th division paper works now is Hinamori… why is she here anyway plus why is she doing Matsumoto's work?

"Midori-chan! Please Help Me!" cried Hinamori with puppy eyes.

Kunogi blinks her eyes to show her innocent face.

"Kyaa! Gin!" Matsumoto pushes Gin's back to the couch.

"Rangiku-han, calm down." Said Ichimaru.

Oh-no… Drunken Matsumoto makes her attack…

Hinamori notices the couple's presence… She immediately dashes towards Kunogi and drags her out of the room.

Being dragged out for unknown reason, Kunogi asks. "Momo-chan! What's wrong?!"

"KIDS SHOULDN'T SEE THIS!!!!"

Pyoon!

Behind the door to the 10th division office, do not disturb… ICHIMARU RANGIKU in the middle of a DATE. No wonder Hinamori dragged Kunogi out of the room. If Hitsugaya see this… or will he see this? Well, if he knows this… what will be his reaction?

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Walking in the 10th division hallway is the white haired shorty captain. He wants to check Matsumoto's progress in her paper works. Of course, he doesn't know anything in what is happening in his office. He continues to walk to his office like he does everyday.

Pyoon!

Hinamori still drags Kunogi. She stops running when she saw Hitsugaya walking his way to his office. She drops Kunogi to the floor.

"Momo-chan! You don't have to be rough!" whined Kunogi.

"Oi… What mess are you two doing here at my division?" asked Hitsugyaya in a cold voice. He crosses his arms and glares his cold icy emerald green eyes on the two 5th division officials.

"Just visiting Rangiku-neechan!" cried Kunogi.

"Yeah! We did!" Hinamori followed up Kunogi's answer.

"Oh. If you're done then go back to your division." He walks pass Hinamori.

Hinamori grabs Hitsugaya's arm, "Toushirou-kun, where are you going?" she aksed.

"Back to the office, of course. I need to check if Matsumoto is doing her work." Answered Hitsugaya. He takes Hinamori's grip off his arm to continue walking to his office but…

"NO! Toushirou-kun, why not come with us! You haven't visited our division for quite a time, right?" Hinamori's words are full of power but at the same time nervous.

"After I check Matsumoto…"

"NO! Let's go now!!!" she garbs Hitsugaya's arm and Kunnogi's collar of her kimono and drags them to the 5th division office. "KIDS SHOULDN"T SEE!!!"

Well, the story ended up more humor... Anyway, next chapter is drama for sure! OTANOSHIMI NI!
