Hitsugaya was laying on his sleeping mat looking at the ceiling for about 30 minutes now. Sleep had evaded him and all he could think about was the feel of Heiwa against him as they hugged earlier, the smell of her hair and the feel of the skin from her cheek that rubbed against his. He sat up quickly holding his head in his hands, his face red as a strawberry. He could still remember how close their faces were to each other when they had broken apart.
The two young captains slowly broke apart from each other but stayed close together, holding lightly onto the other person's forearms. Heiwa kept looking at his chest until Hitsugaya brought a hand under her chin raising it slowly to where she was looking him in the eye, a light blush fanning her brown cheeks. Not even knowing it their faces had gotten closer to the point they could feel the other person take a breath.
"Heiwa-san," he said quietly. As if she had been in a trance Heiwa pulled back and slightly pushed Hitsugaya back from her. Hitsugaya gulped waiting to see what her next move would be. Heiwa looked back up at him and smiled up at him.
"We should be getting inside, night Toshiro-san," she said and walking inside waving to him. Hitsugaya still in a dazed waved back to her.
Maybe she didn't like him he thought to himself. He could really understand what had even come over him, he admits he used to have a small crush on Hinamori but that turned to more of brotherly love but he had never had feelings towards another female.
"I could not blame her if she did not want me," he said quietly looking down at his hands.
"Want you? Ehhhhhhhhh what exactly would my lady want with you, a loud for said. Hitsugaya went for Hyorinmaru but was forced to the wall with a foot on his neck before he could reach him. As Hitsugaya struggled to push the foot of his airway he looked up to see a man with one jade eye peaking out at him behind his waist length white hair staring at him. The man's arms were crossed over his chest and he had a mad look on his face.
"How dare you even think about my lady in such a manner you little brat," he said pushing harder with his foot against Hitsugaya's throat. Hitsugaya tried casting a kido spell but suddenly a chain caught his wrist and pinned it to the ground. Hitsugaya looked from his trapped to see the chain was coming from this mans hand.
"Damn you, what the hell is going on," Hitsugaya yelled out as he continued to struggle.
"What a weakling and you think you are worthy of even having eye contact with my lady,pitiful," the man said.
"Lady, who the hell is your lady and who the hell are you," Hitsugaya yelled. The man rolled his eyes and took of his foot from Hitsugaya's throat. Finally having air Hitsugaya grabbed his throat coughing as the man kneeled down in front of him grabbing Hitsugaya's hair and shoving his head into the wall.
"This is what has caught Heiwa's attentions lately, how sad she deserves so much better," he said banging Hitsugaya's head lightly against the wall. Hearing her name Hitsugaya tried grabbing the man again but another chain came out and trapped his other hand.
"You bastard, what did you say about Heiwa, if you've hurt her," the chains around his wrist painfully tightened.
"Careful little boy I wouldn't want to break you before getting my point across," the man said laughing while pulling at the chains.
Heiwa
Heiwa ran as fast as she could, getting strange looks from passersby. Ashe finally felt the large burst of spiritual pressure that only she could feel and ran towards it. Finding herself in front of a door she slammed the door open to find Hitsugaya trapped on a wall by Shiori Kiba.
"Shiori Kiba what are you doing," she exclaimed. Shiori Kiba looked between her and Hitsugaya before smiling nervously.
"Now my lady I can explain," he said but wasn't able to give an explanation before Heiwa put her pointer and middle finger up in front of her and the chains around Hitsugaya's wrist vanished. She threw her hand while still pointing to the side and Shiori Kiba suddenly fell to the ground, trembling.
"H-heiwa, d-don't," Shiori Kiba said looking pleadingly into her eyes. She grimaced but held her ground and brought her still pointing fingers facing the ground and yelled "Seal". Shiori Kiba slowly disappeared and Heiwa struggled to bring her two fingers to the sheath of her sword until he was completely sealed inside and she was left with a cloud of steam radiating of her body. Hitsugaya ran from his place and kneeled down grabbing Heiwa by the shoulders.
"Heiwa, are you alright, who was that," he asked her. Heiwa took a breath in and opened her eyes to look at him.
"I'm fine I just need to eat and that would be Shiori Kiba, did you not hear me yell it," she asked chuckling.
"Wait you mean that small dog of yours." she nodded to him "But that was a man," he says.
"Demon actually he just uses that animal form to get around unnoticed ," Hitsugaya stared at her wide eyed and she sighed looking away "Shiori Kiba is a dog demon that you would say is my sword, it was punishment for trying to overthrow the lord of his house after he had found out he had impregnated the lord's wife".
"Wow," Hitsugaya said.
"Yeah and the kicker was it was twin boys," Heiwa said laughing. "Anyway as a punishment the lord of the house cursed Shiori Kiba into a life of servitude to anyone who was worthy enough to wield him but that was almost 2000 years later when he found me," she said looking down at the sword. Hitsugaya had never really looked at it until now, it was a guardless katana that had a green sheath decorated with a cherry blossom flower branch design on it. The hilt was slick like the rest of the sword with a charm with two fangs attached.
"Did- did you kill him," Hitsugaya asked.
"What, no I just sealed him in for now, Shiori Kiba would've had no problem killing you if you made him very mad," Heiwa said to him.
"I know Hyorinmaru had warned me but I took any real heed to it, why didn't you tell me" ?
"I'm sorry, he's never done anything like this before and he told me he would kill you if you tried anything but he never does anything like this". She shook her head and looked down to her sword sadly. "He must feel some intimidation towards you, he did say that he didn't like the way you look at me".
Hitsugaya held his breath and looked down at Heiwa who was too busy looking at her sword to notice the embarrassed look on his face. Even the damn demon knew how he was looking at Heiwa and here he was too embarrassed to even try to figure out what his feelings towards her were or even ask if maybe she had them as well.
"Well Toshiro-san I apologize again for Shiori Kiba's actions and I'll let you sleep for the night," Heiwa said trying to get up but would've surely fallen down if it wasn't for Hitsugaya catching her and guiding her back to the ground with him.
"Heiwa- san I can't let you leave, you can't even stand much less walk," Hitsugaya said.
"Oh, well then I can just crawl," Heiwa said slowly trying to crawl away but was failing at the moment since Hitsugaya was holding onto her robe and brought her back in front of him.
"Heiwa-san just stay here for the night," Hitsugaya said to Heiwa making her blush.
"What I can't stay here people will talk"!
"I'm sure no one will talk and I'm sure no one saw you since it's so late".
On the Rooftop
"Oh dear lord he's raping Heiwa-chan," Yumichika said in a whisper yell. "Don't worry Heiwa-chan I'll save your beautiful innocence," he said trying to make it down the roof but was grabbed by his robes collar by Matsumoto and Shuhei.
"Hey that's my captain you're talking about," Matsumoto said defensively . After seeing Heiwa run out her room while Shuhei was telling them the origins of Shiori Kiba they followed her running form to Hitsugaya's room where they saw Heiwa perform the sealing of what they believe was Shiori Kiba.
"Even if Captain Hitsugaya tried he would be dead, anyway I'm going to bed it's late," Shuhei said letting go of Yumichika and starting to walk away before Yumichika grabbed him and started in a very feminine way pounding on his chest.
"You're just going to leave her in there to be taken advantage of," Yumichika yelled in Shuhei's face. Shuhei brushed Yumichika's hands aside and now grabbed him by the front of his robe and brought him close to his face.
"Listen here you, I have enough confidence in my captain to know that if captain Hitsugaya would even try something like that and he doesn't seem like he would, Heiwa would gut him like a fish and display him for everyone to see," Shuhei said watching the feathered browed man's face begin to solem. "Now get off me," He said jerking Yumichika off of him and continued walking.
"Hey Hisagi, that seal captain Tousen did, was it on Shiori Kiba," Matsumoto asked making Shuhei stop and look at her over his shoulder.
"Most likely, I've only seen her do it once and it was when he tried to kill Aizen for touching Heiwa on the shoulder," Shuhei said then finally walked away leaving the two other soul reapers.
"Well Yumichika, you might as well get ready to go shopping with lieutenant Yachiru," She said smiling and walking off towards her room leaving Yumichika on the roof. Yumichika smiled and started on his way to the 11th Division.
"That's what you think," he said giggling in the dark.
Hitsugaya and Heiwa
All Heiwa could think about as she laid there on Hitsugaya's sleeping mat in his room while he was propped against a wall sleeping that she was a terrible person. What was she doing in a room with a man who already was with someone already? What if Hinamori came to visit him and made a large scene over Heiwa being there? It's not like Heiwa really had a no choice, Hitsugaya had told her that either she could rest there or he would've been forced to call Captain Unohana to check her out. So of course Heiwa decided to stay.
Heiwa looked over at where Hitsugaya was sleeping on the wall and thought how peaceful he looked and how lucky this Hinamori person was as she felt sleep trying to take over her. She heard a rattling and looked over to where she saw her sword rattling and moving about, probably Shiori Kiba trying to break the seal she had placed on it. Heiwa rolled over on the sleeping mat and closed her eyes, she would have a chat with Shiori Kiba about tonight later.
