Hello Peoples, Just making some changes
The day finally came where I was to be announced as a Captain publicly. I stood in the center of the meeting room, anxiously waiting for the ceremony to start. Then one by one, the Captains walked in with their fukutaichos behind them. The tension was killing me because the atmosphere was so depressing!
I got a little wave from Matsumoto-Fukutaicho and I was about to return it when the Captain-Commander walked past me to his seat. "We gather here today to welcome Hinamoto, Kurohime into the Gotei 13 and celebrate her rise to Captain and Commander-in-Chief of the Omeitskidos." Then all the captains turned to me, waiting for an answer. "T-thank you, Sou-Taicho. I look forward to working with all of y-you in the future.
"Oh boy, you never stutter when you talk. So why now," asked Shirobarakaze.
"Meeting adjourned," said the Sou-Taicho. I stiffened as the Captains walked past me, some giving me encouraging comments and some walked past with cold faces. Then I felt as if the wind was knocked out me and something was locked across my throat and chest. "Hime-san! Congratulations!" "Matsumoto-fukutaicho? Is that you? Could you let go of me please?" I heard something between a snort and laugh coming from behind me and I was released.
Toshiro watched as Kurohime was regaining the little color of her face (as if that was possible). Matsumoto was gushing over Hinamoto's new uniform, but Hinamoto-San was saying, no insisting that the Omeitskido uniform too revealing. Which was true in Toshiro's point of view . . .
Kurohime had noticed Toshiro staring at her, so she walked over and narrowed her eyes then asked "What are you staring at, Captain?" Toshiro noticed that she emphasized the word captain. Hyorinmaru was laughing quietly inside his head and he had just realized that he was blushing (slightly).
He walked out of the meeting room when he saw Kurohime-San on the roof watching the birds fly. How did she get out so fast and without letting him see her? Suddenly, Kurohime turned around and said "I'll see you later, Hitsuguya-Taicho and Matsumoto-Fukutaicho. Perhaps you could come with me to a unit patrol sometimes."
After that, Toshiro went back to his office to finish his paperwork and Rangiku was off gallavanting in some sake bar in god-knows-where. It's been an hours since he had stood up his legs were asleep. He got up to stretch when a hell butterfly flew through his window. He held out his hand and extended his finger so the butterfly could land. "Captain of 10th Company, Commander Hinamoto has requested you to join her on a scouting patrol in the world of the living. If you wish you may join or have a good day."
Toshiro was still thinking about it when Matsumoto burst into the office, staggering. "Taicho, did you get the message from Hinamoto-Taicho? Can we go?" Toshiro was going to say no but he wanted a break from all the paperwork. "Why not, Matsumoto? But you have to do the remainder of the paperwork when we get back." Matsumoto nodded and they were off.
My personal unit had already departed to the living world and I was itching to get a move on. One more minute I thought.
"Why aren't you wearing your haori, Hime-san? Did you ask Hitsuguya to come with you so you could show off," asked Shirobarakaze.
"Shut up, Shirobara. I gonna strangle you as soon as we get back," I hissed. "Strangled who, Commander Hinamoto?" I turned around and Hitsuguya-Taicho was so close to my face that I felt myself blushing. "Never mind that. Shall we go, Hitsuguya-Taicho," I said in a lilting voice. "Ladies first, Commander," he said in a voice that matched my previous tone.
That little brat! If he didn't want to come then why did he? I ran towards the Senkeimon gate and disapeared into Dangai Pass. When I got to the world of the living, I found a mass of tall black figures. Menos grandes, I thought. "First Divison, see if you can see where they're coming from. Second divison, I want you to try to attack the Menos Grandes. But pull back if any of them release a cero, okay?" "Yes ma'am!" Then my unit vanished.
I ran towards the hoard of Menoses and Hitsuguya-Taicho was there, chopping away with his zanpaktou. What a horrible way to kill hollows. I smashed my fist through one and and kicked two other in the mask. Suddenly, a huge dragon froze my next opponents. I looked over my shoulder and Toshiro smirked at my direction.
I shattered ice and killed the hollows without hesitation. I made a round-house kick at a circle of menoses and saw Toshiro summon his dragon again. His ice crystals were very bothersome at this time and it was very cold right now, espsecially in my uniform. I sighed and kept hitting.
Hyorinmaru glided through the skies and smashed into various hollows. Toshiro looked over his shoulder and saw Kurohime's side was almost clear, save for a few. She wasn't even using her zanpaktou. Hyorinmaru had cut into the mask into a menos grande and Toshiro pulled it out.
He looked over his shoulder and Hinamoto-san was gone. Where was she? "Baka, you should paying attention to your opponent, not to the sky." He turned around but saw nothing. A hollow lunged for him but he drove Hyorinmaru into its mask and it disintergrated. He turned again to see Hinamoto-San pulling her foot out of a menos and shoved her fist into another.
Toshiro heard a loud whirling sound and was about to turn around yet again when a figure materialized in front of him. "Baka! I told you to pay attention to your opponents." He saw the Commander with her zanpaktou drawn, deflecting a cero. The she vanished again, only to reappear again slicing a menos in half.
"It looks like you were off guard today, boy," said Hyorinmaru.
"Is everyone ok?" Toshiro walked towards the Commander and she turned around and barked "Follow me." He thought it was meant for him, as soon as the words left her mouth, hundreds of black-clad people lined up in the back of him. He heard a Senkeimon gate open and ran through the dark pass to the Soul Society.
"Everyone, that was good work. How about letting your commander treat you to some ramen?" Immediately, her guard squad cheered and so did Matsumoto too. Toshiro walked up to Kurohime when Matsumoto pushed him out of her way to get to the commander. "Hinamoto-Taicho, here." Kurohime looked at the small envelope that the fukutaicho had given her and gave her a puzzled look. Then she tucked it into her uniform and they went to go eat ramen.
I was trying to eat my ramen but my men were trying to get close with Matsumoto-fukutaicho. I didn't mind, but they were creepy and I was trying to eat. Toshiro just poked at his ramen and he had a faraway look. Conversing with his zanpaktou, I thought. I quickly zoomed out of my body and slipped into his mind.
"Master, what are you doing? She sitting across from you, do something," said Hyorinmaru.
Do what? I thought . . .
" I don't need advice on how to win a girl, besides I don't want your advice ," said Toshiro.
"Well, just ask her then, though I think she does though. Otherwise she wouldn't be teasing you."
"She didn't tease me! She was just impatient when she was waiting for us," said Toshiro.
I zoomed out of his mind and entered my body before anyone noticed something was wrong with me. I ate faster and Matsumoto said "Hinamoto-Taicho, your face is red and so is Taicho's. Were you doing something?" I choked on my noodles and started coughing. Apparently so did Toshiro, but his coughs were a lot louder and . . . funny.
I left the restaurant and pulled out the envelope Matsumoto-fukuaicho had given me. It was blue and had the symbol ten on it. I opened it and read "Hinamoto-Taicho, the entire Squad ten would like to host a party in your honor. All the other squads are showing up and it would mean a lot if you did too. Hugs and kisses, Matsumoto, Rangiku."
Great, a party. I didn't like to socialize but they were sending me on a guilt trip. The entire seireitei was going be there and sadly I had to also.
"Don't worry. Just go and enjoy it or you'll be regret not joining," said Shirobarakaze.
I sighed and went back to Squad 2 barracks. I don't know everyone yet, but the ones I do give me cold looks. I walked toward the courtyard and awaiting me there was a huge commotion. There was a huge man in the middle that was supposed to be my (3rd?) seat. People were cheering for him and I wondered why. The man stepped forward and shouted "My name is Maechiyo Omaeda! Why have you, a bloodthirsty demon become a Captain when soul reapers stronger then you cannot. I'm willing to challenge you to prove this wrong!"
The pain of being called demon again hurt and with added bonus of being called bloodthirsty was just asking for it. But I didn't feel like hurting this man, even if he was asking for it, so I decided to play with him. "If you can beat me, I'll step down from Captain and let you take over, and I'll make it easy for you. You can use anything to cut me, but I'll restrain myself to one finger. Does that sound fair," I asked.
That seemed to make the huge man shrink a few inches, but then he smirked and boomed "I think I can take on a little girl, bring it!" Then he was off. He thought that if he used his zanpaktou he'd cut me. Stupid idiot. I shunpoed away from his sight and landed on his shoulder like a bird. "Its been fun while it lasted, but I must end this before you get anymore crazy thoughts in your head." Then I flicked his huge head as hard as I could and he flew through the air and landed in a bush. "Take him to Squad 4. I didn't hit him hard so he should up and around in a few hours."
Toshiro was in his office sipping tea as he waited for more paperwork to come. It was so quiet and peaceful in here he thought. BAM! Matsumoto slammed the door wide open and ran towards him. "Taicho, you should have seen it. I was at Kira's and we went over to go see Hinamoto-Taicho but she was fighting some fat guy in the courtyard. She ended the fight before it even began by flicking his head! The guy was put in Squad 4!"
Was Matsumoto drunk or sober? He knew that Hinamoto-San was strong but what Rangiku said was just unbelievable. Then she stopped to breathe and it was like watching a light bub light up. "Taicho, we've got to get ready for the party now!" Toshiro's radar went skyhigh as his fukutaicho said the word "party".
"Party? What party, Matsumoto." Matsumoto said nothing and threw an envelope in his direction as she exited the office. He opened it and read the contents. Oh well, since the party was hosted in his squad, he'd have to show up. He ran his fingers through his hair and wondered where was the paperwork.
He got up and the envelope fell to the floor. He stooped to pick it up and another piece of paper fell out. "Taicho, Commander Hinamoto was kind enough to finish our paperwork because she knew that we were planning her party. P.S She'll return all the ones that need your signature." He shook his head and sat down again to finish his tea.
It was time for the party and I was going to be late. I lost track of the time when I was doing work and no one bothered to remind me what time was it. I made it to the barrack doors, but suddenly I hesitstated. I've never been to a party before so what if I said something stupid and made a fool of myself. Then I felt myself being crushed from the inside as Matsumoto-Fukutaicho hugged me.
"Hinamoto-Taicho, where were you? We were getting worried that you weren't coming." Then Matsumoto picked me up by the waist and she walked inside. It was beautiful tonight, the cherry blossoms were in bloom and everyone gathered under is branches. I paid more attention to the flowers then I did to everyone else. Unfortunately, so did everyone else. Matsumoto asked me to sing a song for them, but I told them I couldn't sing. "Nonsense, Hinamoto-tai-taicho, Taicho told me you had a beautiful singing voice." I gave a glare to Toshiro and everyone started chanting. "Sing, sing, sing, sing!"
I groaned mentally and sang the most (happiest?) song I've heard myself. I must admit that I loved the attention they were giving me, with the whooping and cheering. I felt like the center of attention (which I was and still am).
"Nice song Hime-san. Did you see Toshiro's face. It was so hilarious!" Shirobara said. Then she erupted with hysterical laughter.
I got up and walked up to a tree far away fom the group. The flowers were falling and I reached to pluck one, but it fell apart when my fingers touched it. I was going to reach for another when someone beat me to it. Surprised, I spun around and Toshiro Hitsuguya holding two blossoms in his hand. He held them towards me as he wanted to give them to me. I gingerly closed my hand around the two flowers, but I almost dropped them because they were so cold.
He looked at me inquisitively and took a flower from my palm. The he fixed the flower into my hair. I almost forgot about the cold sensation in my hand when I felt his piercing, teal eyes land on me. I looked down at the flower in my palm and saw blue-ish coloring at the tips at the petals. He must have froze it to preserve the blossom. My head jerked back up and I saw the most unusual thing. Was Toshiro Hitsuguya blushing and what was he blushing at? He then leaned his head forward until our noses touched. I almost fainted because I thought he was going to kiss me. But he smirked and said "ladies first." What the hell did he mean? The I realized I was blushing furiously and he meant to tease me. He laughed gently and said "Come on, lets get back to the party."
Bye-bye. :)
