I'm totally sorry for not uplaoding for such a long time. Gomenasai. T_T

I was caught between lots of projects in Science as well as our tests. I'm really really sorry.

Please read and review this new chapter. I would also like to apologize if there are mistakes.


It was December 19 already and tomorrow will be the party for Toushirou's 16th birthday. Momo was sitting on the sofa in the 10th squad while looking at Toushirou who was taking a nap.

'His birthday is tomorrow and I wonder what he likes as his gift?'

Momo closed her eyes as she continued to think. She knew that Toushirou likes cold things and watermelons but she wants to make his birthday this year something out of their usual parties.

'What should I give him...? I have absolutely no idea...'

Toushirou raised his head and saw Momo thinking deeply. He stood up and sitted beside her.

"What's wrong?"

Momo opened her eyes and looked at Toushirou. She then leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Nothing... I was just wondering..."

"About what?"

"A gift for you since tomorrow's your birthday. For some reason, I can't think of anything..."

'If you're with me tomorrow, then, that would be the best birthday gift of all.'

"Don't worry about it. Just stay with me and that's all that I could ask for."

"Eh? But... I want to make it special for you."

"Being my girlfriend and knowing that you love me is already special. I can't ask for anything more than that."

"Hmmm... I know! I figured out what to give you." Momo said as she smiled.

"What is it?"

"It's a secret. I'll tell you on your birthday." She said as she giggled and blushed.

"Huh?"

"Even if it's your birthday tomorrow, I won't tell you."

"Okay."

"Ne, I'll just go to the real world for a while."

"Huh? What are you going to do there?"

"Secret." Momo said as she stood up.

"You really like secrets."

"Of course. Dont' worry about me because I'll be back later. I just need to check something out."

"Okay."

Momo stood up and used Shunpo to go out. Toushirou went to his room and laid down on his futon.

'I wonder what she'll do...'

Momo went to the real world dressed as a human. She was wearing a blouse with the same color as Toushirou's eyes and jeans which she partnered with black doll shoes. She kept walking until she reached a jewelry store and she went inside.

"Welcome, ma'am." The saleslady said and Momo smiled at her.

"May I ask what you're looking for?"

"What type of necklace can be given as a birthday gift?"

"For a boy or a girl?"

"A boy."

"A silver necklace is alright. An item can also be attached."

"May I see it?"

"This way."

The saleslady showed the silver necklace to Momo and some small things that can be attached to it. Momo saw a red feather and a blue feather. She decided to buy two necklaces for the both of them and she chose the one with red feather for herself while the one with blue feather was her gift for Toushirou.

"Thank you for the purchase, Ma'am."

"You're welcome."

"Oh, I heard from our store manager that those feathers can give the owners happiness in life."

"I see. Thank you." Momo then left the store and went back to Soul Society.

It was almost midnight when she returned. She went to the 10th squad after hiding the gift in her sleeves and saw Toushirou looking at the moon while sitting on the windowsill.

"You returned back late."

"Sorry. I kinda enjoyed looking at the stores in the Gensei." Momo said as she stood next to him.

"You had me worried." Toushirou whispered as the cold night wind blew. Momo looked at him and saw in his eyes that he was really worried about her even though he didn't show it on his face.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay but what did you do there?" Toushirou said as he faced her.

"I bought something."

"What is it?"

"You'll find out later. What time is it already?"

"It's 11:57. Why?"

"Nothing. Where's Rangiku-san?"

"Probably preparing a party for me somewhere."

"I see."

'It's 11:58... Two more minutes...' Momo thought as she glanced at the wallclock.

"Ne, can we sit on the roof?"

"Sure."

Both of them went up and sitted on the moon. Momo saw that the Sakura trees were starting to sway as the wind gently blows.
She remembered that the sakura petals dance in the sky whenever it's 12 midnight every Winter.

'I guess that it's just 11:59... I'll make up with him. I'm such an idiot to forget the time.'

"Why do you seem uncomfortable?" Toushirou said as he looked at her.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"You're really not a good liar."

"Sorry." Momo said as the sakura petals swayed with the wind all around Seireitei. That made her know that it was already 12 and that it was Toushirou's birthday already.

"Happy Birthday, Toushirou." Momo said as she smiled at him.

"Thanks."

"And, here's your gift." Momo said as she got her present out and placed it on Toushirou's hands. Toushirou opened the present and saw that it was a necklace.

"Thank you, Momo."

"You're welcome."

"Can you put it on me?"

"Okay." Momo moved closer and placed the necklace around his neck. She sitted infront of him and smiled.

"That fits you."

"You surely know how to pick accessories out, huh?"

"Maybe." Momo then leaned forward and gently kissed him on the lips. Toushirou was clearly surprised of her action and was a little speechless when they broke apart. Momo was blushing as she looked at him.

"Momo..."

"That was also a gift. Rangiku-san once said that if you really love someone, you can give him a kiss as a sign of affection."

"So, that means that you already kissed someone besides me, huh?" Toushirou said as he smirked.

"That's not true! I haven't kissed anyone else except you!" Momo then covered her mouth.

"I heard what I wanted to know. Thank you, Momo." Toushirou said as he smiled. Momo blushed and looked at him.

"Mou... you tricked me! That's unfair!"

"Fair or not, you gave me the best birthday gift that I can wish for."

"Well... if you put it that way, you're welcome."

They both looked at each other and felt a lot of reiatsu. They turned around and the party pops were set off.

-"Happy Birthday, Hitsugaya-taichou!"- All of the 10th squad members as well as Rangiku was there. Gin and the other captains and vice-captains were there too. Ichigo and Rukia were also there.

"Everyone..."

"Happy Birthday, Toushirou." Ichigo said.

"Thanks and it's Hitsugaya-taichou to you." Toushirou said with a small smile.

"Taichou, we prepared a party for you." Rangiku said.

"Where is it this time?"

"At the Seireitei Central Park."

"Alright."

All of them went to the park and saw the other Shinigami there. The zanpakutous were also in their materialized form. Everyone enjoyed the food that Unohana, Yorouichi and Soi Fon cooked. The cake was baked by Yumichika like what Momo asked him to do. Toushirou really enjoyed his special birthday that day.
