…Peaceful Green Days…

Chapter 7: Obon Festival

I greatly thank the people who sent me reviews. Most of them wanted HItsuHina pairing and only one wanted HitsuOC. This is my hint: think about Kunogi's character. Kunogi's behaivior and atittude is the key to what pairing will the story end up. Besides that, look closley also to Hinamori. Hitsugyaya? There's nothing to observe in him.

This chapter focuses more on the serious side... which means more Hitsugaya and Hinamori sences. Kunogi will be there to lighten up but there will be HitsuHina scenes ahead!


Obon festival…. The week we reunite with our lost family members and ancestors. For a young Shinigamis like us, we couldn't find our family.

The morning comes up; every Shinigami wakes up for the busy new day. The morning breeze seems a bit cooler and much stronger that usual; the sunflowers sways northward.

Kunogi Midori wakes up and prepares for the event. She completely forgets the match with the girl and had her usual 100 percent energy status… no; it's actually 199 percent since Kunogi is exited to see her first Fireworks.

-Flashback-

"Obon festival? Oh yeah! It's about time for the Obon festival! Whoa! I'm so exited to see the fireworks!" said Kunogi.

"But we're going to organize the soul who are going down, Midori-chan." Said Hinamori.

The office is completely clean; not a single dust on any furniture. Kunogi and Hinamori were drinking tea together. They were talking about Obon Festivals and the past things happened when they were younger. Kunogi never got a chance to see the festival since she worked in Soul Society while Hinamori organized the soul's attendance.

Sooner or later, the announcement for the Obon festival meeting will be heard. As of now, the Obon festival will be in the 2nd week of July.

-End of Flashback-

Since during the Obon week thousands of soul comes down to the living world, which means there are lots of foods for the hollows. The shinigami's role is to lead the souls to the living world safely and protect them until the end of the week, which the souls will be lead back to soul society. Some higher officials like captains and vice captains looks after the souls from hollow invasions.

This year, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 13th divisions are tasked to guide the souls and protect them. The 4th division is always included in the Obon festival assistance since when a hollow attacks a soul they could heal the soul early.

This year there are 99,000,000 souls in the east side of Soul Society who want to go to the living world. The number of souls joining the festival decreases every year because of the fear being eaten by hollows.

The 3dr division is now in charge of the attendance and the rest of the divisions are to lead the souls into the living world.

The 5th division takes care of the souls in the East side; the 6th takes care the North; the 10th takes care the West; and the 13th takes care the South. The 4th division divides into sub groups and joins every group in other divisions.

The leading of souls to the living world finished by night fall which the families of the souls had already lit their Mukai lamps (it's to show the way for the souls to their families).

So far the hasn't been a hollow victim. But the hollows are starting to move. As long as the souls don't wander on their own they are safe.

Late in the night, a little boy is left alone in the middle of a dark street. He couldn't find his way to his family's place. Hinamori approaches the poor child and comforts him.

"It's okay. I will help you find your family's place. Anyway, what's your name?" asks Hinamori.

The boy wipes his tears and takes a deep breath, "I'm Rizamura Kazuki."

Hinamori carries the boy in her back and jumps from roof to roof. After some time, her cellular phone rings. "Hollow?"

She immediately goes down to the street again and lets the boy go down. "Don't go far from me."

The boy nods and stays behind Hinamori. Hinamori looks around for signs of Hollow approaching.

Indeed a Hollow appeared, a huge Hollow. The Hollow is taller than any house in the street; it has a deformed white mask; and dark blue body.

Hinamori draws her sword, "Burst, Tobiume!" She directly hits the Hollow with one blow in its mask.

A second later, her phone rings again. Another few hollow appear. She cuts the Hollow into its mask again. The phone keeps on ringing. What is happening? More hollows come and surrounds her.

"What is happening? Why are so many Hollows are here? Tobiume!" She slashes another hollow then she aims at the next Hollow with a Demon art number 33.

Behind her is a smaller Hollow but its speed lead to Hinamori's danger. The Hollow's sharp claws barely hit Hinamori but it created a bleeding scratch on her left arm. Hinamori is now swarmed; she couldn't handle the number of Huge Hollows aground her.

Suddenly… "Souten ni Zase, Hyorinmaru!" a flying ice dragon swipes one-fourth of the Huge Hollow count. "Are you alright, Hinamori?"

"Hitsugaya-kun! I'm alright." Hinamori hold herself up. She begins to aim Demon arts at the Hollows while Hitsugaya uses his ice dragon to exterminate the Hollows.

10 minutes had passed; all of the Huge Hollows are exterminated. Hinamori and Hitsugaya went on to find the little boy's family.

"Arigatou, Hitsugaya-kun for helping me." Hinamori smiles. "…But why are you here? It's the 5th division's job to handle this area. I expected Midori-chan who's going to save me." Hinamori faced Hitsugaya with puzzlement.

"I-I-I couldn't trust Kunogi be-because she's always playing so I-I thought she wouldn't be able to help you… well, I-it's…." Hitsugaya blushes; his pink blushes in his cheeks are visible due to his pale skin color.

Hinamori laughs softly. "Hitsugaya-kun cares for me."

"I-I didn't say anything like that! I-I-I just pity you if nobody t-tried to save you!" Hitsugaya's cheeks turned red.

The boy whispers into Hitsugaya's ears "Hee hee. Just tell the truth that you like neechan."

Hitsugaya's face now is red as a tomato. "I-I'm telling the truth!"

"If you're telling the truth, then why are you blushing?" The boy said in a teasing tone Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya yells, "It's none of your business!"

Hinamori giggles. Hitsugaya stares at Hinamori with a scary look but Hinamori already used to it so she continues to smile.

Later, they found the boy's family. They bid goodbye and left.

"Nee Hitsugaya-kun, where are we staying tonight? I was advised by Abarai-kun not to stay at Urahara-san's place. Should we stay at Ichigo's place?" asked Hinamori.

"You decide. I'm staying out."

"Hitsugya-kun, why are you not joining us? Even it's cool outside I think you should stay in." opposed Hinamori.

"It's Hitsugaya taichou, not Hitsugaya-kun. And why should I stay with you? You will just wet my bed!"

"I don't wet beds!" Hinamori raised her voice.

"You… " Hitsugaya's sentence is cut short. A loud bang has sounded from a short distance. They immediately go to the area. When they arrive they found Kunogi fighting with another batch of Hollows.

"Habaneko!" leaflets forms from around Kunogi and with the flick of her sword, the leaflets dispatches and cuts through he hollows. In a minute or so, Kunogi wipes out the whole batch Hollows.

Clap! Clap!

Kunogi faces at the person who's clapping. She puts her sword back and smiles at her fellow shinigamis.

"Omigoto (perfect), Midori-chan!" the person who's clapping is Hinamori.

"Momo-chan! Chibi-taichou!" Kunogi dashes toards the two.

"It's Hitsugaya taichou! How many times should I tell you to stop calling me Chibi-taichou?" Hitsugaya gets angry again.

"Endless!" Kunogi laughs. "So, let's call this a day and go to Ijiwaru niichan's place!"

Later than later… at Ichigo's house in Karakura town…

"Ojamashimas! (Literally translated as I'm disturbing you)" said Kunogi. She's about to enter Ichigo's house.

Hinamori and Hitsugaya follow Kunogi behind. "Ojamashimas."

Ichigo guides the young shinigamis to the guest room that he prepared a long time ago since he expects people from Soul Society coming here.

"Ko-konbanwa, Ijiwaru niichan's father" Kunogi bows at Isshin with a very shy and hasty way.

"Ijiwaru-niichan?" Isshin stares at Ichigo. "You baka son! You bullied a little girl! How shame of you! I will teach you to be kind as your father!" He directly kicks his son amacking into Ichigo's face.

Ichigo has now a violetish-black bruise in his right eye. He takes revenge by kicking his father, which I think is much stronger since Isshin flies past the window and even farther away. He tells the three young shinigamis to just ignore his father and continue to lead them to the guest room.

"I'm going to stop calling Ijiwaru-niichan... I don't like to cause anymore trouble for this house." said Kunogi.

Ichigo looks at Kunogi, "It's not your fault, Midori. My father really have a twisted-mind. Even you won't say anything back then, he will attack me anyway."

In the guest room, somebody is already there; Matsumoto Rangiku. "Ah! Taichou! Midori-chan and Momo-chan! I've already prepared the bed so go take a bath." said Matsumoto. She stands up and takes three towels and gives each of the young shinigamis one. "I've already took a bath so take your time."

"Let's go, Midori-chan." said Hinamori.

"Yeah, let's take a bath together." Kunogi faces Hitsugaya. "Will come too?" said Kunogi in a very teasing tone.

Hitsugaya's face turned red. "Baka! I-I'm not coming of course!"

"Hee hee! Just kidding! You fall for it! Look, your face is red!" Kunogi laughs and pokes Hitsugaya's face.

"No, I'm not! Cut it it out!" Hitsugaya steps back and faced the window so Kunogi won't tease him any further.

Kunogi stops teasing Hitsugaya then faces Hinamori, "Let's go, Momo-chan." She left the room with Hinamori then went to the bathroom. The two girls giggle.

Matsumoto makes her attack on Hitsugaya. "Why are you so dishonest? The truth is... taichou wants to take a bath with Momo-chan and Midori-chan!"

"Ma-Matsumoto! I am not dishonest and I don't want to take a bath with those bakas!" Hitsugaya's face is still red.

Matsumoto smiles. "Taichou, if you don't be honest to yourself nothing would happen... except for loss. Do what you should do before it's too late."

Silence takes the room's atmosphere. Hitsugaya finally calms down. He sits on the floor and wait for the two 5th division shinigamis to finish their bath.

Later, he notices that there are only two futons (thick mattress bed laid on the floor) on the floor. "Oi Matsumoto, why are ther only two futons here?"

"Ah, Ichigo-san has only two left so we should share it... so two people each." said Matsumoto.

Kunogi and Hinamori come into the room. They had towels on their head to dry up their hair.

"Ah, good timing. Let's decide who will sleep with who before taichou will take a bath." said Matsumoto.

"I can sleep with anyone." said Kunogi. She looks at the two futons and then sits on one of the futons.

"Me too, I can sleep with anyone... but I will chose to sleep with Midori-chan." Hinamori sits beside Kunogi.

"So, I'm sleeping with taichou." said Matsumoto.

"No way! I'm sleeping beside the wall. I have a bad feeling sleeping with Matsumoto anyway." Hitsugaya is about to leave the room but...

"Wait, chibi-taichou!"

Hitsugaya stops.

"I'm sleeping with Rangiku-neechan and you sleep with Momo-chan. Is it okay with you?" Kunogi stands up and puts her towel to dry beside the window.

"It's not okay. I don't want to sleep with a bed wetter." complained Hitsugaya. He looks at the three girls with his usual cold stare.

"Hitsugaya-kun!" shouted Hinamori.

"Okay then, I will sleep with you." Kunogi strengthens her tone. "I won't allow Chibi-taichou to sleep beside the wall."

Hitsugaya couldn't complain anymore. Being childhood friends with Kunogi and Hinamori, he knows that Kunogi sleeps normal. He leaves the room to take a bath.
