"May I see her?" Hitsugaya faced Unohana; the misty gray eyes of the female taichou were full of amusement and knowing.
"Of course Hitsugaya taichou. Just be quiet, she's asleep right now but her injuries have almost fully recovered."
"That's good to know." He sighed in relief. "Arigato."
She simply nodded and smiled. Hitsugaya slid open the door.
The room was almost eerily silent, except for the timed beeping of devices and the faint, peaceful breaths of a girl.
He made his way over to the bed that she lay resting in and pulled up a chair as he sat down. Hinamori was dressed in white robes, her loose, dark brown hair neatly pooled out over her pillow, and Hitsugaya could not resist to reach out and brush loose strands from her peaceful face.
He smiled, unable to take his gaze off of the beautiful girl. He did not know how long he stayed there, but he did know that the sun was going down. She had been in the hospital for a day; he had brought her to the 4th division as soon as they had arrived back in Seireitei.
Hitsugaya was about to stand up and leave when two gorgeous chestnut-brown eyes fluttered open and flickered to him.
"H-Hitsugaya-kun." Her voice was laced with tiredness. She sat up and leaned back against the soft pillows. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"Baka. You should go back to sleep."
She began to shake her head, but was cut off when he leaned forward and gently kissed her. Her eyes widened and her heart began to pound. Then, he pulled back and smiled. After a moment, she too smiled gratefully and yawned softly once again.
Hitsugaya reached forward and gently pushed her back down onto the bed, draping the cottony blankets over her shoulders.
"Oyasumi, Hinamori." He smiled.
"Arigato, Hitsugaya-kun…Truly, arigato..." She breathed.
The girl who had Fallen, had risen again.
