Chapter 10: Seal the deal [FINAL]
"It has everything to do with me" Vayu said in a low threatening tone voice as Hitsugaya stopped walking hearing what he said. Vayu turned around with his eyes glowing "Because…I'm in love with Miss Hinamori."
Hitsugaya stood there hearing what the boy said as he turned to see Vayu with serious eyes. His eyes were glowing red and clinching his fist.
"I knew it…" Hitsugaya quickly changing his expression and glaring at the boy. He always knew the stranger was too close with his childhood friend and how he would watch her carefully as if was admiring her "Since the day you appeared, I knew there was something different about you."
He looked at the boy with glowing eyes and placed a hand on his sword "…You're not living or a soul, not even a traveling merchant. Last chance, who are you?"
Vayu smirked "I knew you were always on to me…True, I'm not a living soul or anything. I was created by my master Mikage."
"He was the one who gave Hinamori the bottle which where I came from to help her find her true love" Vayu confessed as Hitsugaya's eyes widen. "That bottle…? You were inside that?" remembering the red sand inside the small glass bottle.
"Yes, after she accidentally opened me that is when I've appeared to help her find her true love. The night you asked me how I sensed you behind the tree, I didn't…" Vayu pointed at his glowing eyes.
"I could see invisible lines connected to Miss Hinamori's love line and saw yours, which is how I knew you were there…" he smiked as his eyes glowed "I am connected to her as well…"
Hitsugaya's eyes filled with anger as he unsheathed his sword "Whatever you are…I won't let you take Hinamori!" rushing to Vayu, he quickly dodged the attack.
"Ah! There! Momo-chan, I found them!" Matsumoto calling as she saw the two fighting. Hinamori covering her mouth "Oh no…SHIRO-CHAN!" they rush quickly towards them.
"At least I am not a coward unable to tell her how I feel!" Vayu taunted and continuing to dodge his attacks. 'Damn…He's good, I don't know long I can keep dodging him…' Vayu never faced someone skilled especially a captain level soul. Suddenly, Hitsugaya swiftly threw his chains as it wrapped Vayu's legs and pulled.
Vayu 's movement hindered and fell on his back as he was about to get up, he was met with a sword near his neck. Clearly, Vayu was no match for the captain as he took a gulp.
Hitsugaya holding the sword still as Vayu looking up at the glaring captain. "I won't let you take Hinamori because…She belongs with me" Hitsugaya confessed as Hinamori and Matsumoto reached towards them.
"I love her…I've always had" he finally said as Hinamori's eyes widen hearing the voice. Vayu smiled looking at Hitsugaya's wrist as the red was slowly changing into a solid color "Finally…You aren't holding back anymore" as he looked behind the captain. Hitsugaya turned his head and saw Hinamori with Matsumoto.
Lowering the sword "Hina..mori?" Hitsugaya said as she rushed into his arms and embraced him causing him to drop his sword on the ground. Hinamori's eyes were filled with happiness hearing the words she always wanted to hear as Hitsugaya slowly wrapped his arms around her.
Hitsugaya released Hinamori and saw tears flow down her cheek. "Did you really mean it, Shiro-chan?" she asked as Hitsugaya's eyes soften.
Wiping away the tears "Yes…I love you Momo" he said. "I love you Toshiro!" Hinamori smiled as he leaned to kiss her soft lips.
Vayu looked at his wrist as the red ribbon turned into a solid vivid red color and connected with Hinamori's wrist. "It's completed…" he said with a smiled looking at the couple embrace each other.
"Sorry for the interruption…But, can you take off the chains off my legs?" Vayu said as they looked down to see him helplessly sitting on the floor with his legs tied and trying to untangle the chains.
Moments later, Hinamori explained everything about Vayu and had the same expression when she told Matsumoto. "…You're serious?" Hitsugaya asked as Vayu and Hinamori nodded.
"Yeah Taicho, don't worry I said the same thing as well when they told me!" Matsumoto said "It's pretty overwhelming right?"
"Yeah…" still taken back and looking at Vayu who was smiling brightly.
Vayu chuckled "Now, I don't have to hide myself anymore. But, you guys are officially connected now." Hinamori's eyes widen in happiness in the arms of the young captain "Really?"
"Yes, I'm seeing it right now" Vayu said looking at their wrist with the solid red ribbon wrapped around. He raised his arm and looked at his own wrist "Once you found your true love, the others disappear…Mine is gone as well."
Putting his hands in his pockets and smiled at Hitsugaya "Good thing I played my cards right…If I haven't this would have taken forever!"
Hitsugaya realizing Vayu was only pushing him to the limit to confess his feelings for Hinamori. Hitsugaya gave a small chuckled "I see now…Clever."
Vayu chuckled as well "Haha…My apologizes Captain, It was the only way! I'm sure you can understand and forgive me."
Both girls confessed as they looked at each other and shrugged. Matsumoto looking at Vayu who was still there "Hey Vayu-kun, since your mission is complete and Momo-chan found her true love…How come you're still here?"
"Tsk" Vayu kissed his teeth with a stern look at Matsumoto "Want to get rid of me that badly too, huh?"
"Well, you did say once you complete your task you'll be returned to your creator…Honestly, I was expecting you to light up and flying away" Matsumoto said as she examined him.
Vayu chuckled "Well, I guess it is time for me to go…Captain?" raising a hand towards Hinamori with his palms up "May I borrow Miss Hinamori to seal the deal so I can go home?" asking permission.
"Seal the deal?" Hitsugaya asked with suspicion.
Vayu smiled and nodded "Yes, this is something we have to do in order for me to be free from the contract and I could go back home."
Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori as she smiled at him "It's okay, he stayed and helped long enough…I know his creator would want him back safely." Hitsugaya nodded as Hinamori took Vayu's hand and took a few steps away from Hitsugaya and Matsumoto.
Holding both hands, Vayu looked into Hinamori's brown chocolate eyes with a smile "Miss Hinamori…Have you found your true love?"
Hinamori nodded "Yes."
He held her hands tightly "Miss Hinamori…" he thought about the first day they met on top of the tree and how she would try to force him to go back in the bottle. The memories that they shared, he smiled "…It was an honor to serve you to find your true love; you gave me the strength and confidence I needed knowing there is true love still existing in the world."
Vayu smiled brightly "Please be happy and I hope you won't forget about me."
She smiled "Thank you Vayu…You really are a special bottle." Hearing the words, he felt successful and needed. Lowering his head as his hair hid away his eyes "Thank you Miss Hinamori Momo…" smiling, Vayu swiftly lifted his head back up and leaned towards Hinamori locking his lips against hers.
Hinamori's eyes widen in shock as Vayu's body began to glow red. Soon his body was being lifted up as they broke the kiss. Hitsugaya rushing towards them as Matsumoto's mouth opened wide.
Hitsugaya clearly anger someone kissed his childhood friend and girlfriend in front of him "Vayu, YOU BASTARD!" Hitsugaya yelled holding Hinamori and looking up at Vayu slowly floating in mid-air.
He laughed and waving good bye "Haha that was sealing the deal, I didn't tell you because I knew you would never let me and I would've stayed forever! Thank you and please take good care of Miss Hinamori!"
Hinamori watched Vayu's body slowly disappearing as if his body was filled with fireflies. The lights going towards the sky and Vayu looking at Hinamori for the last time before his red lights went towards the sky and disappeared.
They looked up at the sky; Vayu was no longer with them. "Wow…He REALLY did light up and fly away!" Matsumoto said as Hitsugaya took his sleeve and wipe Hinamori's mouth from Vayu's kiss. "I wonder if we'll see him again…" Matsumoto said to herself.
Somewhere far away, a man sitting in his cart polishing his bottles and humming to himself, suddenly he saw a red lights as they gathered together and a black haired boy emerged from the red light.
"Oh Vayu! Welcome home!" Mikage welcomes the boy, Vayu climbing onto the cart and took a seat next to Mikage. Resting his elbows on his knees, he leaned forward looking at the polished bottles. "I'm guessing the kind girl found her true love?" Mikage smiled.
"Yeah…She did" Vayu replied as he held an empty bottle. Mikage looked at Vayu "You did a great job. That reminds me…What happened to your bottle?"
He gave a soft chuckled as he held up an empty glass bottle "I guess I forgot it, its fine…I needed a new bottle anyways." Mikage couldn't help seeing Vayu in a good mood, it had been years he seen Vayu smile like this.
Vayu looked up at the sky with his glowing red eyes and smiled brightly 'Miss Hinamori Momo…Thank you, I'll never forgot you.' Feeling the soft warm breezes blew though his black hair and listening to his creator hum to himself while he continued to polish his strange bottles.
