Chapter 10: Good bye

In the back of the yard, the two childhood friends sat down on the patio while fireflies flew in the skies. The moon illuminating on them as they sat there quietly, not a single word was exchanged between them.

Hitsugaya crossed his arms with his eyes closed. Taking a sharp sigh "Kurosaki…Do you mind?"

"Tsk" a raven haired girl popped from the corner and revealed herself. Karin stood near Hitsugaya with her hands on her hips "It's MY house! Besides, why are you here so late!? I thought you're leaving early in the morning and-!"

"KUROSAKI" a cold voice snapped as his voice echoed. Karin bit her tongue in aggravated at her team member cutting her words off, she could feel her anger towards the brown haired girl build up slowly...She wanted her out of her house and away from Hitsugaya.

Hinamori looked away, Karin was right but she wanted to talk to Hitsugaya before she goes back home to soul society. It's been too long since they saw each other or talked face-to-face to each other. "I'm sorry I just-"

"Don't apologize" Hitsugaya cutting her off as He shot a cold glare towards Karin for her rude behavior "She'll only be here for a moment. We got a game tomorrow morning; don't you think you should rest? Or do you want me to carry everyone again?"

No one was allowed to talk to his childhood friend rudely, especially when he was present.

Karin gulped as she kissed her teeth again "Tsk! whatever, next time she should just CALL!" she stomped her feet back inside the house.

Hitsugaya let out a defeat sigh and rubbed the back of his neck "…How troublesome." Hinamori sat there fiddling her fingers together; he knew she would do this whenever she was nervous about something or embarrassed.

He took a deep sigh, he reached over to place his hand on top of her nervous hands "I'm sorry about that Momo-" She flinched and moved her hands away from him quickly.

Taken back at her reaction, he slowly withdraw his hand back "…Momo, what's wrong?"

"Karin-san is right. I…I know I should have called or told you earlier, but my phone doesn't work here" she said quietly explaining the situation "Taicho, had something to do here and decided to bring me along…We are leaving tomorrow morning. I probably can't see you before I leave since you have a game tomorrow morning with Karin-san…"

Hitsugaya looked away, cursing himself for making plans when his childhood friend was leaving tomorrow "Sorry Momo…I didn't know you were leaving so soon…If I had known-"

"It's okay Hitsugaya-kun…You didn't know" she cutting him off with a weakly smile, he felt arrows shooting at his chest. How she said his name was like if he was a complete stranger to her and was expecting her to call out his nickname.

They sat there without a word, only sounds of crickets chirping in the night…

Hitsugaya looked in the corner of his eye and saw Hinamori looking at the moon. He looked up and reminded him the old time they would sit on top of the 10th division roof to watch the moon together.

He had missed those times and had been awhile since he did. There were times he would watch the moon alone on the roof of Kurosaki's house and think of his childhood friend. Wondering what she was doing or if she was watching the moon as well.

He kept looking in the corner of his eye, couldn't help how beautiful she was and had been forever since he saw her. He only had pictures of her on his phone but this was completely different…

She was just perfect in his eyes and felt like the luckiest guy to have a childhood friend like her.

"So…What kind of game are you doing tomorrow?" Hinamori spoke as he snapped back into reality "Is it something similar to top spinning like you used to?"

Hitsugaya chuckled with amusement "No…It's soccer, that's what they call it." Long time ago, when he was young Hitsugaya was the champion in top spinning and would win every game. There would be prizes such as snacks, sweets, and rice for the champions.

"Soccer…?" Hinamori asked confused about the strange name.

"Yeah…It's a human game but, it's quite fun" Hitsugaya leaned back with his hands behind him "It's tomorrow morning at the park nearby here."

Hinamori gave a short nod and turned her head. Her brown eyes met with his turquoise eyes as it held her in his stare. Her heart began to skip beats, she no longer saw him as the boy she knew but a man…

Quickly she looked away 'I can't! He has a girlfriend already! ...Should I ask about Karin?'

It was killing her inside "Hitsugaya-kun..." She hesitated, what place does she have to ask such questions to her childhood friend? As long as he was happy...That's all it mattered. She needed to leave.

"I-I should go…It's late!" Hinamori sprung up as Hitsugaya was getting up as well "…Yeah, it is…Good bye Hinamori."

Hinamori looked at him once more "Good bye Hitsugaya-kun, it was…good to see you." Hitsugaya stood there with sadness in his eyes, this was going to be the last time he'll see her. No idea when he'll be coming back home…

She walked away towards the back fence gate with teary eyes. This was such a short meeting for the two childhood friends, Hitsugaya watched her with his fist clinched tightly…

Just about when it was about to grab her hand to stop her, he froze. He felt like his body was moving on its own, as if he wanted to hold her and never let her go.

Hinamori opened the gate and left the Kurosaki residence, leaving the young captain alone stare at the gate hoping she would come back. In the window, Karin watched Hitsugaya "Thank god she's gone…I don't even know why I was worried." She closed the curtains and prepared for bed.

Walking down the lonely street alone, Hinamori looked at the floor as the street lamps casting her shadow down on the cold concrete floor. Her eyes watery as she tried her best not to shed a tear. There was so much things she wanted to share with Hitsugaya, all the days and months since he was stationed in the human world.

Wind blew behind her as she lifted her head up. She turned around slowly...

Nothing. It was just the wind passing her with leaves rustling in the trees. Suddenly, tears started to flow down she had hoped it was her childhood friend but it was just her keeping her hopes up for no reason. She began to cry by herself...

"Oi...Momo" a voice said as he landed in front of her. She knew who it was as she turned the other way to hide her embarrassed face. She sniffled "...T-Taicho...Why..?"

"Why am I here? ...Why do you think?" Hirako squat down in front of his vice-captain trying to make eye contact with her but, she looked away "...That bad, eh?" Hirako was worried she wasn't home yet and decided to look for her and when he did she was standing under a street lamp crying. She continued to sniffle and trying to control her tears but they kept coming down.

"Did you say your good byes?" Hirako asked, she nodded slowly.

He took a deep breath and stood back up, taking off his suit jacket he put it over her shoulders "Come on Momo, let's go home." He put an arm around her as they walked back to the shop.
