Chapter 9: Breakable

A.N. Sorry for the long Update…eheheheh, Haruka haters will love this chapter very much. I liked typing it. For some stupid ass reason the rular thingy on the document edit is being a bitch, so yeah.

--------------------------------------------

Tears ran down her eyes, she couldn't breathe, her heart felt like it was being pulled out by Hitsugaya, sliced a billion times with his soul slayer and the remains were being stepped on by him. Now repeat and rinse. He was kissing someone else and that someone wasn't her. Her heart was hurting so much. Hinamori ran to the only comfort she could find. Rangiku.

"Rangiku! Rangiku!" Hinamori screamed pounding on the screen door.

Rangiku opened the door to see a puffy-eyed Hinamori, "Hinamori-chan! Daijoubu-ka?"

Hinamori shook her head as more tears fell down her cheeks. Rangiku stared at her friend and began rubbing her back in condolence. When Hinamori's ragged sobs had turned into soft breathing Rangiku decided to probe the situation.

"Hinamori, what happened?"

Hinamori looked at Rangiku with her red eyes, "H-Hitsugaya-kun...I was walking to his office when I heard him talking to a girl...I thought nothing of it...suddenly I heard objects falling on the floor, I rushed in and saw him and that girl kissing! Kissing!"

Rangiku narrowed her eyes and clenched her fist, "That bitch." Rangiku cursed as she hugged Hinamori for comfort, 'I knew she had feelings for taichou, but to do something like this. I'll get her for this.' Hinamori and Hitsugaya were happy, they deserved this happiness, but that damn girl. Rangiku felt like releasing her shikai on Haruka, "It's okay Hinamori…don't cry."

--------------------------------------------

Rangiku had escorted the broken girl back to her room and was now walking back to the 10th division when she spotted Ichigo.

Ichigo had spotted her as well and ran to her, "Matsumoto-san, did you see Hinamori today? I was looking all over for her."

Rangiku nodded her head, "Yeah, she was with me."

"Eh?" Ichigo raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

Rangiku looked to the side and narrowed her eyes, "Hinamori found Hitsugaya kissing another girl and she completely broke down, she came running to me and I comforted her…" Rangiku explained bitterly.

There was silence for a moment, until Rangiku's explanation dawned on Ichigo, "WHAT!" The scream echoed through soul society.

Rangiku winced, but she had to tell Ichigo, afterall, maybe he could ask Hitsugaya why he did what he did, "You heard me…" Rangiku said softly, "Hinamori is quite torn up now…I don't know if she'll make it back."

Ichigo closed his eyes, his eyebrows were furrowed in anger, "Bastard…why the hell would he-"

"I don't know," Matsumoto snapped, "He loved her…you could tell couldn't you? He had no reason to kiss another girl, and much less her. She must've done this."

"Who?" Ichigo asked.

"Her, Haruka Hiashi…the new shinigami," Rangiku explained, "during the practices I could've sworn she was flirting with taichou."

Ichigo looked at Rangiku for a bit, "Haruka Hiashi…Haruka Hiashi…I know I've heard her name before." Ichigo said as he tapped his chin repeatedly. After a moment of contemplating Ichigo realized where he heard her name, "Ahh…I remember now, Haruka Hiashi was one of the top students in shinigami school, she was the first in her class to achieve her shikai."

Rangiku raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You wouldn't happen to know what her shikai does do you?"

Ichigo nodded, "I think the reason Hitsugaya kissed her was because of her shikai," Ichigo explained gravely, "Her shikai allows her to take total control over any person/people she wishes. They have to do whatever she says, regardless of whether they want to or not."

Matsumoto narrowed her blue eyes, "So that's what happened. I knew she had to force him to do it, taichou just wouldn't randomly kiss a girl like that!" Matsumoto paused a minute before speaking again, "Is there any way to negate her shikai's effect?"

Ichigo thought for a moment, "Not that I can think of…but I know Hitsugaya can break it, his love for Hinamori is a lot stronger than that stupid effect."

Matsumoto nodded as she silently prayed that her captain would break the spell, for Hinamori's sake.

--------------------------------------------

a week went by, Hinamori didn't notice though, she was too caught up in her own thoughts, 'Shiro-kun…what did I do wrong? What did I do to make you kiss her? Did I anger you? Please tell me what I did…' Hinamori thought sadly as she touched her lips, oh how she wanted to feel him kiss her again…

Hinamori turned to the side and looked at her clock, 10 minutes until the vice captain meeting, "I guess I better go…" Hinamori thought silently.

Hinamori pushed her screen door open and sauntered out depressingly. She didn't even feel like doing flashstep, this feeling was worse than when she found out Aizen had betrayed her.

Hinamori didn't care where she was going, she just wanted to get away. Coincidentally, she ended up in the placed she would go last, the 10th division. She didn't notice it until she walked smack-dab into Rangiku.

"Nee Hinamori, don't you know the vice-captain meeting is that way?" Rangiku pointed out.

"Oh, gomen-nasai Rangiku-san…I forgot…" Hinamori replied, her voice had become monotone.

Rangiku nit her eyebrows in worry, "Nee Hinamori-chan, it'll be okay, you'll see." Rangiku placed a calming hand on Hinamori's shoulder, "Promise."

Hinamori smiled weakly at Rangiku and nodded slowly, "yeah, it'll be okay…"

Rangiku smiled brightly at the smaller girl, "Now let's head to the vice-captain's meeting, I think we're late!" Rangiku informed as she motioned to Hinamori.

Hinamori nodded and walked with Rangiku.

Hitsugaya and Haruka were walking out of the 10th division. She was escorting him to the captain meeting, which would start the same time the vice-captain meeting would.

Haruka smiled as she wrapped her hands around Hitsugaya's arm. This was perfect, there wasn't a single person who could break her shikai yet. It was that powerful, and she would use it for all it was worth. Hitsugaya was hers now, and there was nothing Hinamori could do. "Hitsugaya?"

"Yes?" The hypnotized boy answered.

"Tell me that you love me," Haruka whispered as she leaned her head on his arm.

"I love you." He answered, but truly on the inside Hitsugaya was incredibly pissed off. How the hell could this happen? He didn't love Haruka, HELL NO! He loved HINAMORI. How dare this girl use her twisted shikai on him. He swore when he got out, Hyourinmaru would have a new target for practicing.

--------------------------------------------

Hinamori and Rangiku were strolling towards the meeting, at this point they didn't even care if they were late anymore. Hinamori didn't have the will to go, and Rangiku was worried about Hinamori and her captain.

As they walked aimlessly out of the 10th division, Haruka and Hitsugaya passed them. Both pairs of shinigami stopped walking at once and turned towards each other. Haruka glared at Hinamori and vice versa. It was an epic staring contest.

"Why hello Hinamori," Haruka said sweetly, "This is my boyfriend Hitsu-chan, but then again you already know him don't you?"

Hinamori looked down at her feet, it was the most interesting thing at the moment. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, 'Don't punch her in the face, don't punch her in the face…don't Hinamori, DON'T…'

However Rangiku was already raring to go, "You little-wait til' I get my hands on you!"

"Rangiku, don't." Hinamori said through gritted teeth, "She's not worth our time…"

Rangiku stared at Hinamori in surprise, "Hinamori-chan…" Rangiku then smiled, "You're right…let's go." Rangiku and Hinamori turned their backs and went on their way, not noticing a fuming Haruka.

--------------------------------------------

Haruka was extremely pissed off, how dare this girl brush her off like that? Who did she think she was? Haruka decided to tell her off, "No wonder Hitsugaya left you for me, you're nothing but a spineless coward!"

At that moment something in Hinamori snapped. In an instant Hinamori ran to Haruka and punched her right in the kisser. Haruka was sent sprawling down on the floor. Hinamori then got onto of Haruka and began strangling her, "How dare you! How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!" Hinamori began slamming Haruka's head against the hard wooden floor.

Rangiku stared at Hinamori in utter shock, one minute Hinamori was high and mighty, and the next she was completely wild, 'Damn, I thought I was unpredictable…wow look at her go.' If Rangiku didn't despise Haruka so much she would've stopped the fight, but she did hate Haruka, so whatever.

Back to Hinamori and Haruka.

Haruka was completely defenseless to Hinamori's onslaught of physical attacks. Who knew such a scrawny girl held so much power. Haruka felt her face being bruised…this was too much for her. If she had known this would've happened to her then she wouldn't have used her shikai on Hitsugaya, guess she underestimated Hinamori.

--------------------------------------------

Hitsugaya stood there, just watching the fight. He wanted to do something, he wanted to stop Hinamori. Although Hitsugaya knew Haruka deserved this, he felt Hinamori was going way too far. This wasn't the Momo he knew, he needed to stop her.

'Damn it! I still can't get freaking control over my stupid body!' Hitsugaya cursed as he tried his best to move his arm, 'Move.' He commanded, 'Move.' He commanded again. His patience was wearing thin, 'Move you stupid arm!' He screamed in his mind. Hitsugaya then looked back to the fight, Hinamori was relentlessly punching/strangling Haruka, not giving her any mercy. He couldn't see his Momo like this, because of him too.

'Momo…please, don't…don't do this Momo,' Hitsugaya begged as he watched Hinamori try to kill Haruka. He didn't want to see her like this. He needed to save her from making a horrible mistake. Suddenly Hitsugaya was whisked away by memories of him and Hinamori, when they first met, when Hinamori actually pointed her sword at him, when he saw her lie there bleeding to death, when she woke up…still dazed in a dream, when they defeated Aizen and she was by his side, when they went out for a date and especially, when they had their first kiss.

"Momo…" Hitsugaya whispered as he felt his hand move a bit, "Momo, Momo… MOMO!" Hitsugaya felt his body fall under his control again, in a split second the boy ran to Hinamori and wrapped his arms around her, "Momo…stop."

--------------------------------------------

Hinamori could've sworn she heard Hitsugaya say her name, but she was too blinded by anger to even care anymore. She was busy beating Haruka. As she was about to give the lower shinigami a final punch, she felt strong arms wrap around her shoulders, she heard his voice, that deep voice that always serenaded her.

"Momo…stop."

Hinamori gasped as she felt her body being pulled away from an already unconscious Haruka, "S-S-Shiro-kun…is that y-you?"

"Yeah, Hinamori…" Hitsugaya whispered as he kissed her cheek, "I'm sorry…" he whispered lovingly into her ear, "Forgive me?"

Hinamori felt tears well up in her eyes and fall down her face, she nodded dumbly at his words. She was so happy that he came back to her now, she didn't even care for an explanation for why he was kissing Haruka. She didn't give a damn, she just saw him, "Yes, Shiro-kun, I forgive you…" Hinamori turned around in his arms and wrapped her own arms around him, "I forgive you."

Hitsugaya smiled as he held onto Hinamori, "I love you, Momo-chan."

--------------------------------------------

Rangiku looked at the couple and grinned, 'Alls' well that ends' well…I guess.' Rangiku thought as she looked down at the unconscious Haruka, 'perhaps I should take her to the 4th division, even though she has done some horrible shit to Hinamori, but I can't have her waking up and ruining their moment…although I doubt she'll wake up soon.'

Rangiku just shrugged, picked up Haruka, and swung the girl over her shoulders. The busty vice-captain then looked back at Hinamori and Hitsugaya, they were passionately kissing each other at this point. Rangiku then turned to the front and began to walk away, "Happy ending I suppose."
