In love with a Death God!

Chapter 12: Storm Heart

Walking alone down the street she stared down at her own shadow as the sun was slowly setting behind her casting down on her back. She was lost in her own world and her cheeks still warmly blushed. She couldn't stop hearing those magical words ringing in her ears…

"I'll tell you who I am…I'm her boyfriend."

She couldn't stop thinking about it even though it was all planned. The fact the death god even saying such thing gave her chills down her spine. Wishing it was true she took a deep sigh 'It seems all so true…'

How he said it and the way he looked at her as he wrapped his arms around her. She could have just died there happily. As she was approaching her home, she saw someone leaning by her door. "…Huh?" she squinted her eyes trying to see who it was.

Only a small portion of his leg and arm was sticking out as the rest of his body leaned against the door. Hinamori's heart skipped a beat 'Is that…Toshiro?'

She could feel her own feet picking up pace, soon she started to run towards him as she held her bag tightly. Did he want to talk in private? Or maybe he really wanted to say that…There were so many questions rushing in her mind.

Hinamori approached calling out his name "Hitsugaaya-kun, what are-" Her words stopped as the boy looked up and pushed himself off the door. Stepping forward into sunlight, his hair wasn't white but black and revealing himself.

"…Hey there, Momo" He greeted with a small smile.

Hinamori's eyes widen in surprise, she was expecting the death god but it was her ex, Hiro. She blinked a few times making sure it wasn't Hitsugaya. "Hiro…kun? What are you doing here?" she asked in confession. She already had enough surprises today. He looked into her brown eyes "Well, I came to see you…Were you expecting someone?"

"Erm…N…No." she lied, deep inside she was disappointed. He wasn't the one she wanted to see.

"I see I heard from Yuki. Actually, I heard it from everyone in school that you have a new boyfriend? I couldn't see him for myself since I was at Kendo class" Hiro asked "I'm guessing his name is 'Hitsugaya-kun'…?"

Hinamori's face blushed red, she wanted to say no but inside she wanted it to be true. Hiro looked at her and looked around "…Did he drop you off? He should have at least dropped you off in front of your house, don't you think?"

She stood there without a reply back as she down at the floor 'Baka Momo…Why were you expecting it was Toshiro?' she thought to herself 'If he really did care about me, he would have…Won't he?'

Suddenly, Hiro took a step forward towards Hinamori as she took a step back.

His eyes soften seeing her keep her distance "Momo… I came to apologize to you about everything" he said as Hinamori's eyes widen, she was not expecting an apology from her ex…Not in a million years.

"…You came here to apologize?" Hinamori asked, he nodded. "Hiro-kun, it's in the past and I don't care anymore. Please leave." Clearly she was having none of it. She was still hurt and betrayed by him, even though he was her first boyfriend.

"Wait, Momo just hear me out" Hiro said, he was serious "…I know what I did to you and I can never forgive myself for doing that. I'm so sorry Momo… I really loved-"

"Don't" Hinamori cutting him off "Don't say it…Please…"

He stood there in silence as he took a step closer as Hinamori's eyes were becoming watery and filled with frustration "I can't believe you're here now to apologize to me… Do you know how hurt I was when you turned your back on me?"

It was getting harder for her to breathe as she held onto her chest and tears began to flow down her cheeks "I thought I could trust you…I really was happy with you and you just-"

Her words stopped as Hiro swiftly held her as their lips pressed against each other.

From afar, the death god stopped at the corner and saw the brown hair girl being kissed by a human boy. Hitsugaya took a step back and turned away with disapproval and vanished without saying a single word.

-SLAP!-

Hiro's cheek started to turn red as he looked at the brown haired girl who slapped him on the face "…Mo…mo?"

"Why are you doing this, Hiro-kun!?" Hinamori yelled with anger and confusion. "First you loved me…then you hated me…Now you're here telling me you loved me and sorry?!" she wiped away her lips "Stay away from me…We're done, please leave" she said as she passed by him to unlock her gate.

Hiro turned around "...I still have feelings for you, Momo!"

Her eyes widen as she turned around slowly. Hiro took a deep breath "I guess, I didn't notice how lucky I was until I lost you. But, this guy you're seeing…Isn't the one for you, he is probably playing you."

"Don't talk to him like you know him, he isn't like you!" Hinamori snapped "He is nothing like you!"

Hiro taken back how protective she was of her new boyfriend "…You're kidding me, right? Momo…I came all the way here to apologize and hoping we can work things out. I can't believe this."

He let out a scoff "Do you love this guy?"

She bit her lips, she froze at the question. How can she love someone who she hardly knew about also not to forget, but a death god. "See, you can't even give me an answer. I know you well enough what you're thinking and you know you're making a mistake dating that guy…" Hiro said.

"You know what…" Hiro took a step back and smiled "I know you'll never forgive me...But, I know you'll never forget about what we had together or about me. That relationship you're in won't last long, you have my word for it. I'll see you tomorrow."

Hinamori stood there speechless as he waved goodbye and walked away. The world around just fell into silence, the only sound she could hear was her heart and her mind was in complete silence.

Watching the sun slowly setting, the captain sat on the bench quietly alone. He thought about what he just saw with the human boy and Hinamori. Something in his chest was tight as if his heart was slowly being squeezed.

'What is this…Feeling?'

All he could think about was her but, the moment he thinks about another man holding her and seeing her kiss someone else made his fist clinch tightly and it was hard to forget or ignore it. He looked up at the orange sky; it was peaceful as the breeze of wind blew through his white spiky hair gently.

He wished she was here with him watching the sunset, he could almost hear her laughter which made him smile a bit thinking about it soon, his smile faded…

'Why…Why do I care about her so much?' he had asked this question to himself several times but never found the answer. He looked at the humans in the park. There were couples holding hands and happy together.

'She belongs with a human…How could she ever think of me anymore than a death god…?' Suddenly someone reached and over his eyes…

"GOTCHA! I finally got you, Taicho!"

Hitsugaya let out a grunt "Get your hands off my face, Matsumoto…" She quickly released noticing her captain was in a really bad mood "H-Hai! I couldn't help it; I finally got to sneak up to you!"

"Wow…You must be really distracted for me to sneak up on you. I never got this close without you noticing me!" Matsumoto took a seat next to her captain and had a wide smirk "Sooo! Did you get to see her and apologize? Honestly, you did what you had to, I'm sure she didn't mind!"

He sat there quietly with his arms crossed. Matsumoto blinked as he captain was clearly stressed about something "Taicho, what happened…?"

"…I should have never interfered with a human" The captain simply said and slowly stood up from the bench with his hands in his pocket.

"Wait…What? Taicho?" Matsumoto was confessed at the situation now. "Matsumoto" he called in a low yet deep tone of voice.

"H-Hai?" Matsumoto replied.

"We are no longer going to interfere with human girl, Hinamori." Hitsugaya stated. Matsumoto's eyes widen taking back at what her captain was saying "What!? But…Taicho, you and her-"

"That is an order" His voice said coldly cutting her words off "We are here in the human world to keep the hollows under control. Nothing more…Do I make myself clear, Matsumoto?"

"Hai…Taicho…" Matsumoto said quietly, this was serious.

Hitsugaya nodded as he walked away from his vice-captain and soon disappeared. Matsumoto let out a sharp sigh and fell into the bench "…What in the world happened?" She looked up at the sky as dark clouds began to roll in from afar

"Looks like it's going to rain soon…"

The past few days, it's been really crazy at school. Every girl in the school had been asking about the white haired boy who was waiting for me outside the gates and wanted to be friends...But, I know they only want to get closer to me to get to know more about him.

It's a bit ironic they want to meet him and get to know him, I'm sure one day when they do…They'll realize they're dead and he is here to collect them. I doubt if they knew the truth, they'll probably change their minds…

It seemed Hitsugaya's message got to everyone and no one seems to be bothering me. Even, Yuki had been keeping her distance away from me but I still get glares here and there with my Ex.

The strange thing is…I have not seen the death god for days. It was also as if he just disappeared.

"Hey Momo!" someone called out as she snapped back into reality. The brown haired girl turned and saw one of her fellow classmates smiling "Class is over, aren't you going to pack up? Isn't your boyfriend coming to pick you up today?"

She looked around seeing her fellow class members packing their things "Oh…Erm no" Hinamori replied as the classmate awed in disappointment "Aww, darn it. We really wanted to see him again!"

The girls moved away from Hinamori's table as she took a sharp sigh. She didn't realize the day was already over; quickly she began to pack her bag and looked out the window.

Rain was pouring.

'Great…I completely forgot to bring my umbrella' She thought to herself, it had been raining for several days and endless. Leaving the classroom, she quickly switched her shoes and stepped outside.

The rain was only drizzling as Hinamori placed her bag over her head '…I better hurry or else the rain might come back.' She dashed out of the school

A group of girls watched the brown haired girl as they smirked under their umbrella "Aww poor little Hinamori. Looks like her boyfriend isn't coming for her today either. Come on girls, we got a score to settle" Yuki said as the girls smirked.

The rain was starting to fall as Hinamori tried herself to get home as quickly as possible. Her clothes were already soaked in rain, she would have waited at school until the rain stopped but didn't want to walk home with Hiro or think she was waiting for him to end his Kendo class.

Hiro was the team's captain in Kendo, that's why he was so popular with the girls at school and voted him the most handsomest guy in school. It was shocking that he has asked her to be his girlfriend, but Hinamori thought about what Yuki said before.

"He never loved you; he only wanted to know how easy he could make someone fall in love him."

Hinamori started to slow down as cars passed by her, she was completely hurt by what Yuki said but, they did date. She admit she really was happy with him, going on dates and really thought it was love. She was crushed when he threw trash and didn't stand up for her.

Hinamori let out a scoff 'as if I'll ever love him again…!' Then she thought about when he waited for her in front of her house.

"...I still have feelings for you, Momo!"

She shook her head 'No no! Get a hold of yourself! Are you really that easy…?' She needed to forget about him and keep her distance away from him. It was hard for her since they go to the same school and in the same class.

Suddenly, the rain started to pour heavily 'Oh no!...It can't get any worse than this…'

"Hey, I found her Yuki!" a girl called out as Hinamori turned around and saw Yuki and her group under umbrellas. "Don't you dare run, you freak!" Yuki yelled as the group began to run towards her.

'Crap crap CRAP!' she jinxed herself. Hinamori started to run knowing if she got caught, she'll be in serious trouble. They began to chase the brown haired girl as Hinamori continued to run. As she took a sharp turn around the corner, she saw people under umbrellas as Hinamori ran past them.

Out of breath, she needed to get home.

"There she is!" she heard as she looked over her shoulders and saw the group heading towards her. 'Augh come on! Give me a break!' Hinamori picked up her speed and started to run.

Hinamori's eyes widen, she felt someone grabbed her arm and pulled her under the umbrella and held her close. In shock, Hinamori tried to free herself from the stranger "H-Hey! Let go-!"

"Be still" a familiar voice cutting her off as Hinamori looked up and saw two turquoise eyes.

It was the death god, holding a black umbrella and wore a black sweater and a jacket over it. The hoodie hid his white snowy hair as he lowered the umbrella to hide the brown haired girl.

They're bodies were so close, almost as if they were hugging. Hinamori was getting the goosebumps knowing his hand was on her back and both of her hands and arms were against his strong chest. Her face was growing red.

'He…He is still here…' Hinamori's heart was racing from running and knowing how close they were.

She heard footsteps approaching as looked down to see Yuki's group pass by them. "Damn it! I swear she went this way!" one of the girls said. "Tsk!" Yuki kissed her teeth "Come on, that freak can't be far!" They ran down the street passing the two.

Lifting the umbrella up, he slowly released the girl as she stood a step back and looked at him "…Thank you, Hitsugaya-kun." He looked at her and simply passed her by without a single word.

Hinamori taken back by his reaction, she was used to him smiling a little or asking if she was okay. She felt something different about him. "W-Wait, Hitsugaya-" as she turned around and saw no one. He was already gone"…Hitsugaya-kun…?" the rain continued to fall on her.
