Toushiro and Hiyori walked into the big house. "Oi! We're back!" Hiyori announced.
Momo smiled and looked up from her cross-stitching, "Welcome home! You two look famished!"
Lisa got them some food, and they began to eat immediately. Mashiro asked, "Well? Did you guys have a lot of fun?"
They replied simultaneously, "Not really."
"Heeeeeh. That's not the kind of reply I expected. However if your with a boring girl like Hiyori I understand," Shinji retorted. Hiyori ignored him when they all heard a knock on the door.
"Were you guys followed?" Renji asked seriously. Everyone reached for their weapons.
"Not that I was aware of," Toushiro's eyes narrowed.
The door opened and a man in a green kimono jumped inside shouting, "The mighty Urahara Kisuke has arrived! Your newest equipment has come as well!"
Hiyori glared at him, "You have some nerve just coming in here."
Kisuke fanned himself and looked away, "I'm sorry. I just saw the commotion you guys made and followed."
Renji grinned, "You two almost got us all caught. That's not like you, kid."
"This wise guy lost his hat because he wanted to run away so bad," Hiyori gestured at Toushiro's head.
Urahara smiled, "Hitsugaya-Kun, I give discounts on hats you know! Want to buy some?"
"Not interested," Toushiro closed his eyes annoyed and went out to the back porch near the creek. While everyone else examined the bullets and guns they ordered, he just went outside to look at the moon. He sat down on the lounge chair and closed his eyes.
The red lanterns hanging from the branches glowed and made the porch an even more enchanting place. He sat there and leaned over to see his reflection in the water. His eyes suddenly grew wide, "What the. . .that's that girl." For a brief second he saw her reflection and it soon disappeared when a leaf caused a ripple in the water.
He closed his eyes and opened them slowly. He turned his head toward the lanterns and saw a raven-haired girl sitting next to him staring at the water. "Y-You. . .Wow, now I'm daydreaming about a girl." She turned her head at him and smiled as she paddled her feet in the creek. "Ok, well I'm not sure if you're my imagination or some weird apparition, but-"
"Sigh, you just can't stop thinking about me, can you?" she snickered and moved her violet eye's gaze towards the moon.
"Oh, so you talk now. I must be going crazy." What she said wasn't wrong, though. Ever since the moment he ran away, he just couldn't forget her face. He closed his eyes and leaned back. "You're just my imagination, all I have to do is ignore you. One, two, three. . .four. . ." he opened one eye and saw she had disappeared. "What the hell just happened. Could something be wrong?" He stood up and wiped his knees and turned back into the house. "Not that I care."
