Part 2-
-Oh no! Don't drop me!
A/N: I just wanted to apologize for the mess up of these two chapters. I'm planning of combining them together to make it less choppy. From now on, the updates should be in more even intervals.
Shortly after the meal, they had all forced the captain to pay because he had the most high pay. Originally, he didn't want to, and would have told them to all pay for themselves, but Kasumi was there, and he didn't want to force her to pay, especially if she didn't have any money, so he decided to just pay for all of them and be a nice person for once.
By the time they had all left the restaurant, the sun was mostly set and only a orange hue of light was shining over the horizon and into the buildings. The meal was very nice and tasty, leaving Kasumi feeling full and happy that her hunger was satisfied.
For the night, Kasumi had spent it in the 10th division office. Her captain would have felt bad for her first day and having to live somewhere that was more homey. He had offered her his house, which was quite big, but Kasumi had declined the offer and chose the office instead. When she had walked into the office, she had felt the heater's warmth in the office. Outside was starting to become cold as winter was quickly approaching.
From behind her, she could feel the presence of someone. "How is it? Good enough for one night?" It was her new captain.
"Yes Captain, it's very nice and is fine for the night. Thank you very much," Kasumi spoke gently, feeling the tiredness not as much in her eyes but more in her body. She had remembered to call him captain from now on, and made a mental note to never call him anything other than that-ever.
However, the name didn't go unnoticed by the other shinigami currently in the room. The way she had said it was almost as if it was always suppose to be 'Captain'…which it was. He quickly walked over to the desk that Kasumi was standing by and grabbed some papers. "I need to take these papers back, they're due tomorrow. If you need anything, let Matsumoto know. I'll be in my room," And with that he started walking the other way.
"I think I'm going to go out and buy some things. I'll see you in a little bit. Bye," She too had went out the other way. Earlier, Matsumoto had given her a bunch of money, way enough. Most likely she had taken it from Hitsugaya.
For the night she would need to go out and buy some more clothes and some blanket or sheet. There was a heater in the office, yet she didn't want to use it too much, especially if Hitsugaya would need to pay extra for the bill. 'I wonder if they even have electric bills here?' She wondered.
Kasumi was out for a long time, shopping through the market outside of Gotei 13. There was a big building that was almost like a mall in Seireitei. There were vendors, shops, and little carts that sold many different items. Some sold food, which she had also bought. Finally she had found one that sold housing furniture's and items. She bought a sheet and a warm blanket that she could use to cover herself with. On the way out, she saw a clothing store and one of the shirts that were displayed caught her attention. She went into the store and ended up buying more then enough clothes. She had felt slightly bad for the fact that she was using up all of his money but it would be okay.
She arrived back at the tenth division office later that day. It was very dark out and the moon shone brightly in the sky. She sorted out her couch and slowly sat down. She was really tired, exhausted by the day's exciting events. From the morning at Karin's, to coming to Soul Society in the afternoon, and the evening of dinner and much talking. And finally, at night she had to go out shopping, although she enjoyed it very much. Now, she was finally going to sleep.
She slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Unknown to her, the owner of the office had entered the building. When Hitsugaya had opened the door loudly, he also yelled out to Kasumi. "Hey Akiyama! Are you in here?" When he received no response, he assumed that she wasn't. He had entered and saw that all the lights were turned off so he moved his hand up to the light switched and flipped it in the other direction. He looked around his office and saw his couch turned to the other direction from the door, with blankets drooping off the side. He walked over and saw Kasumi laying in couch, which she had made almost into a bed. She was laying down with her back on the side of the couch. She looked peaceful and relaxed. He ignored her and walked over to his desk to grab his papers.
"hnn…"
Hitsugaya looked over and saw Kasumi, laying down asleep with her eyes closed and her breathing steady. He realized that she must have made a sound in her sleep and focused back onto his forms. He started filling out the last few pieces when he found himself feeling bad that she had to stay her first night of Soul Society on a couch sleeping. So, he quietly walked over to the couch and picked her up. He lifted her from her back, and put his arm around her waist to keep her from falling. She was easy to carry because of her small sized, but she had weighed slightly more than the small captain had thought she would. She was still far from too heavy to lift.
Along with her, her blankets were also carried in his arms wrapped around Kasumi. As she was being picked up, she was so tired that she was still in peaceful sleep. The outside's of the office were silent and still, with not many people still awake at this hour. Just that moment that he had left the office while carrying a girl, his vice captain, one who had loved to make fun of him. He knew that once he saw him while carrying Kasumi she would make fun of him for carrying a girl, something that wasn't usual for him. He slammed the door and walked over to the other side of the wall, hoping to leave from the back door. He quickly ran over to the other door and left. He quietly walked the way back to his home, a little further down the street in comparison to the tenth division offices. While walking, he felt Kasumi shift her position in his arms. If she had chosen to woken up now, that would be bad. She started squirming some more, and Hitsugaya stared down at her to make sure she wouldn't wake up. Suddenly, her eyes slowly opened, and gazed straight into his.
A/N: Okay, finished! And I met my goal this time. I actually quite like this chapter. I will have my next chapter posted sometime around the 15th or 20th. I'm still not sure whether I should do shorter chapters with more recent updates, or longer chapters with more waiting time. What would you guys like more? Please review telling me which and how you have liked my story so far! Thank you so much for reading. I'll get on to working on my other chapters and stories now.
