Chapter 10: Who is in your heart now?

"GODDAMN IT, ROSE!" a fist slammed on the table of the 3rd captain as both blond captains were inside the office arguing all afternoon about a serious topic. The 3rd division captain sat in his chair calmly as he tuned his guitar, he smiled looking at his frustrated friend "My answer is...No." he simply answered.

It's been days since the 10th division captain and the 5th division vice-captain had seen each other causing Hirako and Matsumoto panic and worry about the two. They've been drifting far away from each other and the gap between enlarges every single day that passes. At this rate, they'll be complete strangers...And tomorrow is the big day.

"UGH!" Hirako scratching the back of his head in frustration as he walked back and forth the office "Come on rose, I'm not asking for much!" Guitar strings continue to be tuned "Shinji, what you're asking for is something selfish and unfair to my vice-captain who finally brought his courage to ask her out on a date which is a LOT. You don't even his name, do you?" Rose asked. Hirako gulped I-I KNOW HIS NAME!"

"What is his name then?" Rose stopped tuning his guitar.

"IT'S-!" Hirako tried to remember the gloomy vice-captain's name but couldn't seem to remember "It's...KEVIN!" Hirako yelled out.

"That isn't even close..." Rose arched an eyebrow "It that your cat's name or something?" Hirako thought hard again "It's SAM...or is it DEAN!?" he yelled out another few names as Rose let out a wry chuckle as he continued to tune the wires "The Winchester's from Supernatural? I don't think you're even trying anymore...Just admit it, Shinji. You don't know his name."

"OKAY, I don't know his name, all right!?" Hirako forfeited, he was never going to remember "Please Rose, I swear if you do this for me...I'll- I'll buy your stupid album...!" Rose stopped tuning and placed his guitar down to the side of his table with a smile "Buying my album won't do much knowing you probably toss it out...But, I'm interested it why and what the reason is."

Hirako narrowed his eyes towards Rose "That's none of your damn business." The room fell into silence, Rose let out a small chuckle "Oh well. Then I guess my answer still stands..." A low growl came from Hirako as he crossed his arms and tapped his finger on his arm anxiously "Shit...If I tell you, will you think about the request?" Hirako asked Rose who gave a small shrug "Depends..."

Hirako stood there soon, he turned to lean on the corner Rose's desk, he kissed his teeth "Tsk...You remember the day at the bar, you asked if Momo has a boyfriend?" Rose nodded "Yes and you said it was complicated...And Hitsugaya Taicho wasn't going to be happy about it." Soon, Rose's mouth curved as he picked up his guitar and ran his thumb gently across the strings "Ah, I see now...The rumors were true."

"The death god who fell in love with a human girl is Hitsugaya Taicho...And the human girl, which is no longer human but now a shinigami is Momo-chan?" Rose asked.

Bullseye, as expected from his friend, Hirako scoffed "dead on, okay now will you help me!?" Rose began playing some tunes softly "I can see why Hitsugaya Taicho won't be happy but, don't see why Izuru can't have a date with her, it's not like she remembers the young captain or anything from her past with him. Technically, she doesn't belong to anyone...Yet."

"She belongs with Toshiro!" Hirako snapped, even Hirako couldn't believe the words he just was saying but, it was the truth.

Rose shook his head in disagreement "She probably did in one lifetime but, things are different now. This is her new life and just because Hitsugaya Taicho feels the same about her, she might not...It's not a one-way street, you should know this better than anyone else." Hirako stood there, Rose had a valid point and Hirako did agree with his logic. But, deep inside he knew he just had to get them together...

"So you're not going to help me?" Hirako asked Rose shook his head "No, I'm sorry my friend but Izuru really likes Momo-chan and has been looking forward to her answer. You're just going to have to accept it and who knows, she might say no." Hirako gave an aggravated look towards the 3rd division captain before leaving the office "I hate you...thought we were friends. Wasting my damn time!"

Rose waved towards Hirako with a smile "Let the best matchmaker win."

In the back of the archives, the 5th division vice-captain held her hands steadily and focusing on a training dummy which was a few feet away. Large hands reached out from behind and held her hands firmly "...Hold it right there, you're doing great Hinamori-kun" he said "Don't hold back, I'm right here...Whenever you're ready."

Hinamori blushed, feeling the man close to her and holding her hands. She tried to hide her smile as she took a deep breath "HADOU 31: SHAKAHO!"

A large red fireball appeared from her hand as fired straight at the training dummy demolishing it into ashes. Hinamori smiled and laughed "Ah! We did it!" The man smiled as he placed his hand on her head "No...You did." Hinamori turned to the man and smiled "I couldn't do it without you!"

Hinamori has been visiting the archives and studying with her new friend every day learning all the Kido skills and incantations. She sat down under a tree to take a break, the brown haired man smiled as he picked up a book off the grass "I'll be right back...Let me return this one and I'll bring another book for us to study."

"Hai!" Hinamori nodded as she watched him go back into the archives. A soft breeze blew through her brown hair, Hinamori looked at the pond and sighed. After days of not seeing her childhood friend, she had thought she would be able to endure but, every day she would think about him...

"Hinamori-kun?" a voice called out from behind as she turned to see a blond haired vice-captain. "Oh! Kira-kun, good afternoon!" Hinamori greeted. Kira looked around "What are you doing here by yourself?"

"Oh I came to study in the archives with a friend!" she replied with a smile.

"A friend...?" Kira arched an eyebrow "Are you here with Nanao-san?" Hinamori shook her head leaving Kira clueless who she was with. He wouldn't expect Matsumoto to be here or near any books unless it was about fashion. "Erm not exactly...But, Kira-kun, what are you doing here?" Hinamori asked.

Kira's face blushed "Erm...Well, tomorrow is Saturday and...I was wondering if you made your decision yet about going to the cafe...with me?" shyly asking the brown haired girl. "Oh!" Hinamori gasped, she had completely forgotten about it and had been too busy studying with her new friend. She looked at the archives seeing if her friend was returning '...I can't believe I forgot!'

Kira noticed her looking at the archive building "...Hinamori-kun, are you okay?" still waiting for an answer from her.

Hinamori quickly turned her attention towards her blond friend "Erm...I'm sorry Kira-kun, I honestly forgot about it, I've been really busy" she said quietly. Kira smiled "It's okay! I understand...I've been thinking and I know it must have been weird for me to ask you on a date randomly like that, right?" Hinamori stood there quietly and let out a short shy nod, Kira let out a nervous chuckled "Yeah...I kind of figured that. It's just..."

Kira stopped as he took a deep breath "I really like you Hinamori-kun."

Hinamori's eyes widen hearing Kira's true feelings he had for her. Kira had some pink on his cheeks "Ever since I've met you or...When you crashed into me that day, I didn't expect you to be so nice towards me and I don't know...I guess I started to develop feelings for you and I hope you'll accept them?"

She stood there quietly and lowered her head "Thank you Kira-kun but...I cannot accept your feelings because I only see you as a good friend and wish to stay friends." Hinamori stood there fiddling with her fingers soon she held her hand firmly "I'm so sorry!" She bowed towards him rejecting his feelings for her.

"...Oh" Kira tilted his head in disappointment and let out a sigh "I see, that's fine! I understand...And thank you for your honesty Hinamori-kun. Anyways, I gotta go! I'll see you around!" Kira waved good bye as Hinamori watched him walk away in the distance. Hinamori sighed "I'm so sorry..." she whispered.

"Sorry about what?" a voice called out causing Hinamori to jump.

Hinamori turned around and saw the brown haired man with books in his hand "Oh, I didn't mean to scare you." She didn't hear him coming or anything, almost as if he appeared out of nowhere. The man stood there watching Kira walk away as his eyes narrowed "...A friend?"

"Hai, that was Kira-kun..." Hinamori replied with a bit of sadness in her voice as she sat down under the tree, he joined her and placed the books down on the grass "Well, seeing a friend should make you happy. Not the opposite" he said as he leaned against the tree's bark.

Hinamori looked at him and looked at the pond "...I just never knew he had feelings for me and I just rejected him" Hinamori thought about it and how she completely misjudge the situation about Kira asking her to go to the cafe with him. She had only thought of it as a friendly night out as friends...

The brown haired man turned his head towards her "I'm sure Kira will understand and respect your feelings. Give him some time to think it through. He might be a bit hurt from the rejection but, I'm sure your friendship with him is still strong. That's what matters, right?"

Hinamori looked at him with a hint of pink on her cheeks looking into his brown eyes through his glasses. He understood her like an open book and always knew what to say to her. The man sat there watching the sun set, Hinamori watched as the sun reflected off his glasses. The man noticed her looking at him and smiled "Hm?"

Hinamori shook her head "Nothing!" she looked down at the book, the man looked at her still smiling "Where were you guys going tomorrow night, if I may ask?"

"Oh! Erm...It's a cafe in the village, it's very popular!...Well, so I heard. I never really been there myself" Hinamori only heard stories from her friends about the cafe even though she never been to a cafe before. Matsumoto went there a couple of times and promised they would go one day for their girl's night out.

"I see...It sounds very exciting, maybe we can go together" the man said as Hinamori stopped looking at her book and looked up at him "Huh? You...You would?" He smiled "Yes, if you asked me, I would. Just as friends, of course...I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable or anything. Besides, it sounds like you really want to go."

Hinamori sat there without a word, soon she closed her book slowly "So...If I was to ask you if you wanted to go to the cafe with me...Tomorrow night, you would say yes?" She could feel her face blushing madly from asking such bold question. He looked at her for a moment and soon closed his eyes and smiled "Are you asking me?" he asked quietly.

"Erm...Hai..." Hinamori replied as her face burned up and her chest beating loudly.

He let out a small chuckle as he gently took the book from her and stood up "Then I'll see you tomorrow night there inside the cafe...Hinamori-kun." Hinamori sat there as she watched him go into the archives to return the book back. Her mind was blank, she couldn't believe the man said that to her.

Hinamori walked alone in a daze towards her division, all she could think about is what the brown haired man said to her. She pinched her cheek and felt pain 'Nope...Not a dream.' Things were never going to be the same anymore between them. Soon, a black butterfly flew on her shoulder...

"Hm?" Hinamori saw the hell butterfly and gently placed her index finger near it. The butterfly slowly crawled towards her finger perching itself as Hinamori stood there quietly listening to the message she had received, soon her eyes widen as she quickly started to run and started to pick up her speed. Hinamori clinched her fist as she took a large leap up onto a roof and shunpo to head towards the 10th division.
