I'd like to thank Nanao-chan (Cyci/Wednesday) for giving me this magnificent idea for this chapter SDEO and I'd also liked to welcome her to Ume, a flower of 5 petals, without one it isn't Ume is it? CCCCCCC3

A bullet to his head (an expression not for real)

"Good afternoon, Rangiku-san, my name is Constable Iba Tetsuzaemon and my superior, Sergent Komamura Sajin are here to investigate the case of the gun shootings in Karakura Town, I have been informed that your...son-"

Rangiku shook her head; she whipped her tears away with a pink handkerchief and hiccuped down more tears.

"He's my…n-nephew." Rangiku awkwardly shifted in the plastic seats provided in the interveiw rooms. The constable with tight sunglasses nodded and muttered an apology.

The tall Sergent stood near the door not seeming to care yet was observing and almost seemed as though he was testing Constable Iba. "Well, your nephew was shot several times with the same gun, the 4 previous victims of the Sousuke Division of Exiled army Officers gun shootings last year. You should feel privileged; the previous victims were found dead and died of blood loss. Your nephew is in an unstable condition but doctors believe he has a 42% chance of living, if not waking from coma."

Rangiku glared viciously, she already knew about the SDEO's (Sousuke Division of Exiled army Officers) Gin was once among them as a high-rating member. And when he married Rangiku he retired and occasionally did secret super secret jobs causing havoc but no one knew.
Toshirou had suspected his brother of deeds but he's brother wouldn't tell him anything other than the paranormal grin. Momo didn't know a thing. And Rangiku was furious but she didn't show it, instead she sobbed angrily for her brother in law and her broken hearted niece.

"Thank you for your concern, Iba-san, are you going to question me at all?" Constable Iba flinched and smiled awkwardly. He nodded and picked up his pen with his right hand and pressing yhe record button on his voice recorder with his left. "What was Hitsugaya Toshirou and Hinamori Momo doing out of school?"
Rangiku looked shocked, but closed her wide open mouth and lied.

"If you haven't realised, you found them at sunset, school doesn't end at 5.30 sir, please ask some relevant questions, I wasn't there so don't ask me any details of a gun man, my husband is a lawyer and whatever you say will be held against you in the department of law, I have studied law for 6 years and I am now a financial consultant, don't underestimate me."

Rangiku sighed with anger and glared at Iba who stupidly nodded frantically skimming through his useless list of questions. "Er…Rangiku-san…I…wanted to know whether Toshirou-kun or you have any relationship with...the SDEO's." Rangiku stared.
Was she to lie? Or bust Aizen's arse for hurting her husband and her young brother-in-law? She didn't know. If she lied, she'd be punished later for lying to federal police but if she busted Aizen's arse, Aizen would be after her, and everyone who loved her.

What was she to do?

"Toshirou-kun…?" Momo gently slapped Toshirou's face continuously. Momo's eyes watered. She frantically looked around for the 'stalker'. Her eyes scanned her surrounding environment. Toshirou had just fallen. There was blood gushing out of his arms, he was on his back and a straight direct perfect shot to the centre of his stomach. His eyelids were closed and the warm blood was seeping onto her bare leg. She was kneeling, her feet going into pins and needles and her face growing redder out of panic. Toshirou…what's happening?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?! She tried to scream for help, her fingers navigating for her phone. Do I call the police first or the Ambulance?! Her thoughts swallowed her whole as a stranger approached in police uniform. "It's going to be okay, sweetie."

Momo looked at the stranger and at Toshirou but nothing registered as she fell backwards on the cement footpath her head meeting the ground with a thunk.

When she woke up, her voice came back to her and she screamed at the top of her lungs, to assure herself she could talk and finally understand what had just happened…well, what she thought had only just happened. Her head was sore, it was heavy and throbbing. "Where am I?"How long have I slept? An hour? 2 days? 4hrs? 2 months?

A nurse stood at her bedside smiling down at her.

"Daat's right, love, let it all out, scream a wee bit louder and you'll feel great, d'ya wanna hug?" The tears streamed and they kept coming, she nodded at the nurse. The nurse embraced her tightly, her shoulder wet from Momo's tears.
"Ex-excuse me, where's Toshirou?" her voice cracked between her tears. The nurse thought for a bit, her head titled to the hospital ceiling.

"Ya mean d' boy 'oo was brought in with ya, the really badly 'urt one?"

The nurse smiled and winked at Momo and whispered in her ear.

"Don't tell the doctors I told ya this, he's on the third floor, room number 59, daats de emergency blood loss room, he'd be in dere, wont be awake dhough, he's priddy badly shot up ya know. Ya boyfriend or sumtiing?" The nurse gave Momo a toothy grin.

Momo nodded not knowing whether to nod or explain her relationship with Toshirou.

She slowly got out of the bed with the help of the nurse and Momo mouthed 'thank you', she laughed and pointed towards the elevators.

"Go quickly, love, don't let de doctors catch ya, or I'm dead meat, go on."

The nurse flickered her fingers toward the door and gently put order to the turned sheets of the hospital bed.

Momo smiled and bowed her head and mouthed 'thank you' again before entering the lift.

She fidgeted nervously, had she to blame for the extensive loss of blood? Why didn't she call the police? Who had called the police for her? Why did she freeze like that when Toshirou was at the brink of death…She felt an emotion dig at her stomach…hunger? Or…guilt?

When she reached the 3rd floor her heart started to race. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, store room ,8,9,10,…24,25,26…38,39, reception office,40…49,50,51 52,53,54,54,56,57,58…..59

The door was ajar and Momo doubted that she would enter without being dragged out. She felt weary of passer-by's who didn't have a clue what she was doing, yet she thought she was going to get caught on the spot so she slyly sneaked into room 59.

She straightened her skirt and crawled to the ground. Her left arm attached to the wall. Where is he? Is this a private ward? Momo looked around, a toilet, another storeroom, a cabinet and…the bottom of a bed. Momo didn't dare stand up to get a better view. What if it had been someone else's bed? Wouldn't that be pretty embarrassing to jump up from absolutely no where? Even with doubts Momo made a decision, she leaped up and saw Toshirou, bandaged and asleep. In coma? In a deep sleep…

The sight of his peaceful state both soothed her and pained her, the guilt remained. She once watched a drama that Rukia gave her and in the drama the main character fell into coma after a car accident and his lover was told to talk to him, because he may wake up faster if he were to hear a familiar voice that he really wanted to reach for.

Momo really liked the drama though some bits were cheesy and cliché.

"Toshirou…you're going to be okay!" Her fists tight in front of her chest like a boxing kangaroo.

"BE STRONG!" (A/N That's my ultimate saying, I say it ALL the time!)

Momo didn't know whether she was comforting herself of the unconscious Toshirou but she felt that this may work but not instantly, slow and gently Momo kissed Toshirou on the cheek and wished him goodnight. She looked out the window to see the sun finally disappearing over the horizon, she looked at her phone. It was 6:54pm and she realised something that shocked her. The gun accident happened 2 days ago…or so the phone says and the sign in sheet above Toshirou's head.

Momo pulled a chair towards Toshirou's bedside and yawned, she sat down and lay her head onto Toshirou's chest and his heartbeat made her jump or was it Rangiku's shriek of relief. "MOMO! TOSHIROU!"

Momo looked up at Toshirou's face, who peacefully slept not aware of the pain he was causing Rangiku and Momo.

"Toshirou-kun…wake up…" Momo yawned again and closed her eyes.

Rangiku watched her snuffle into Toshirou's chest and fall asleep. Rangiku glanced at the doctor's worried face. "Dr Ryuuken, how long does Toshirou have?" The doctor shook his head.

"Just because a couple of teenagers are in love I can't reveal such details to the public even closest relatives, sorry Rangiku-san."

Rangiku glared, she didn't know whether her 'supposed nephew' was dying or reviving. She gritted her teeth and threatened menacingly,

"You'll tell me or I'll leak it to the media and I'll have a private, legal investigator on this."

The doctor shook his head and sighed, a smile at the corner of his lips.

"Do as you wish, either way, good won't befall you." He moved swiftly and smoothly out of the room, leaving not even the slightest sound as the large door clicked shut.

Research and get contacts of the biggest TV station and contact the Daily telegraph, everyone will want a waft of this. Rangiku made the mental note and put a white sheet on top of the sleeping Momo. But seriously, she had to do some research and she knew she couldn't do it a alone, yet she couldn't ask for anyone to do it with her either. Her best friend/cousin was dead (Momo's mother) and her husband was the previous high-rate of the SDEO, she couldn't trust him to not give everything she 'predicted, assumed or found out' about the SDEO and he wouldn't be much help anyway, he'd be there most the time trying to convince her to stop, to stop being nosy, curiosity killed the cat.

What did the doctor mean when he said, "Do as you wish, either way, good won't befall you."

She thought for a bit.

If she found out…she'd probably be murdered along with everyone else (SDEO motto 1~ Leave no witnesses, leave no evidence).

If she didn't find out (like now) she'd probably kill herself with suspense or go dig her own grave and push herself in.

Is she told the press…the SDEO's, the federal police will be onto her, she could put out an anonymous phone call but the SDEO's had connections and the police were everywhere. She'd be the #1 suspect among the other the 2 suspects (Momo and Rangiku)

She had no other choice but to drag her beloved into this.

Momo was going to get a ride of her life. She opened her eyes instinct told her Rangiku was by her side ready to tell her a story so long, it started when Rangiku was 5 years old.

"Momo, are you awake?" Momo nodded.

"Can I tell you a story?" Momo nodded.

"Can I call the main character...Megumi?" Momo nodded.

"Can I hear your beautiful voice please?" Momo nodded.

"Aunt Rangiku, you're going to tell me your life story aren't you?" Rangiku blushed a bit and nodded mumbling something into her hand bag.

"I've grabbed your stuff, we're going to like at Rukia's house for 5 weeks, everything is organised and the Kuchiki household is informed, we're leaving immediately, we're not welcome at this hospital and it's dangerous, Toshirou-kun will have to fight this alone. If you must we may visit him every weekend, otherwise we are not returning to our place…not in a long time sweetie, is that okay with you, I'm really sorry I couldn't give you much choice."

Momo's mouth hung open, her eyes blinked in surprise. Her voice failed to yell out 'WHAT?!'

She stood up slowly still in great shock. "Aunty...can I…" Rangiku nodded and stepped out of the room having a fight with someone on the phone.

"Toshirou-kun…I might not be back for a while, I'll help you collect homework from school but you're so smart you wont need it, you're going to wake up soon right? So I don't have to worry too long…right?"

Her voice was uncertain. The silence answered her. "I'm going to stay with Rukia and I'll be safe, you don't have to worry about me. Worry about yourself Toshirou, wake up and surprise me right now! Please!"

The silence was defening and is ached through her ears. Once again the silence answered her.

"You promised you would protect me right? I don't mean to put you on a guilt trip but...if this is the only thing I can do I'll do it to my fullest, I feel lonely Toshirou…I feel lost, you can't protect me when you are asleep, SO GET UP soon!"

She laid a kiss on his cheek and turned around to leave. "Bye, Toshirou, don't get hurt while you are unconscious, if you can hear me, then hear me out." Momo turned around again to face him.

"Toshirou-kun, I love you."

Momo was caught in a wave of tears, her hiccups invading the silence between them. Her feet paused in front of the door. "Bye…"

The door clicked shut behind Momo and back inside the hospital room number 59, Toshirou Hitsugaya stirred and moaned.
