Chapter 13: Rotten Love

They walked together, Hitsugaya held the object inside his robe. Hinamori noticed him holding his chest "...Does something hurt?" He removed his hand away from his chest, he saw the sun set slowly. It was almost time for her date, they walked together in silence as Hitsugaya dropped her off at her private division. Hinamori slide opens her door as Hitsugaya handed her the package, she smiled warmly towards him "Thank you Hitsugaya Taicho for the dress and going shopping with me..."

Hitsugaya nodded as he was about to leave he stopped and turned towards Hinamori "Momo..."

"Yes?" Hinamori replied quietly. Hitsugaya looked into her brown chocolate eyes, the orange sky made her skin radiant and had a warm glow almost as if he was dreaming. He slowly reached for the hair clip inside his robe and handed her the small package. He let out a deep sigh "This is for you."

Hinamori gently took the package from her hand and slowly unwrapped it. Her eyes widened seeing the beautiful turquoise hair clip "...You brought this for me?"

Hitsugaya took the hair clip and gently placed it on the side of her hair "It really suits you." Slowly, his fingers gently went through his brown hair all the way down to the ends "I really hope you have fun tonight...Good bye." Hinamori stood there watching him slowly turn around and leave, she watched him walking away from her division until he was gone.

Hinamori went back into her room and leaned against her door. She took a moment as the room started to darken and the sun was setting "I better get ready..." She lit a candle in her room and slowly began to change out of her uniform into the new kimono.

She walked in front of the mirror looking at her dress making sure everything was in place. She turned around in a circle and smiled, she looked at the hair clip which was on the side and matching her dress. Slowly, she reached for the hair clip and slightly touched it. She couldn't help but blush, she really loved the hair clip her gave to her.

It was almost time for her date as she left her room and headed to the famous cafe alone. In arrival, a waiter stood by the side of the cafe checking a list of souls who made reservations. He lifted her head and saw Hinamori "Good evening, are you waiting to be seated or joining someone?"

"Erm..." Hinamori looked around just in case the brown haired man was here but, she didn't see him. She looked at the time, she was a bit early and the cafe was packed "Sorry, I didn't make a reservation or anything..." The waiter looked at her and soon smiled "I'm assuming you are here to meet someone? Maybe he made a reservation already, what is his name?" he looked back at his list waiting for her to call out a name.

Hinamori stood there quietly as she held her hands tightly "I...I don't know."

The waiter raised an eyebrow "Oh...Hmm..." he looked at the list for a party of two but it would be impossible to find a party of two during this time. Mostly everyone who comes to the cafe was on a date. The waiter looked at her to apologize and dismiss her but, he saw she was wearing a beautiful kimono and have a hair piece just to match the set. Whatever the date was, it was important.

The waiter looked back at his list and closed it "We are in luck! We do have a spot for tonight for two, please come this way."

The waiter held the door open for her as Hinamori entered the cafe for the first time. Her eyes widened, she thought she was waiting in a dreamworld. The tables were covered in a silk sheeting with silverware on top. The center of the cafe was a beautiful tree with small tea light candles hanging from the branches creating a warm glow to the atmosphere.

The waiter chuckled seeing Hinamori stunned clearly it was her first time inside the cafe. He prepared a small table for her and showed her a table by the large window as she carefully sat down. The waiter handed her a menu as Hinamori smiled looking at the menu carefully and seeing all sorts of desserts and drinks "Wow..." Hinamori said to herself as she looked down the menu list.

Without anyone knowing, inside a tree nearby two turquoise eyes watch her as he leaned his back on the tree's bark. He had one knee up perching his elbow and his leg dangling down. His palm was pressed against the side of his neck watching Hinamori. Hitsugaya did not leave, he simply waited in the tree until she arrived. He wanted to make sure she had a great time and nothing went wrong.

Especially if Kira tried anything funny...And he means ANYTHING.

Hinamori sat there quietly with a smile, she looked at the time it had already past 30 minutes. 'Maybe he's running a little late...' she continued to wait patiently, examining the silverware that was on the table. A waiter stopped by her table "I see that your second member still hasn't arrived yet. Would you like to order a drink while waiting?"

"Oh! Erm, I guess I can..." she quickly picked up the menu and looking through the drink section "I can have a sweet peach tea?" The waiter nodded with a smile as he took out a small notepad and a pen from his black apron to write down her order "Of course and would you like that cold or hot?"

"Hot, please thank you!" Hinamori replied as the waiter nodded "Perfect, I will be right back with your drink and some water as well" The waiter left to make her drink as Hinamori sat there looking out the window nervously for her date to come.

Soon after, the waiter returned with a cup of hot peach tea and a glass of ice water "Please be careful, it's very hot." Hinamori watched him carefully set it in front of her, Hinamori thanked him as the waiter left her to enjoy her drink. Hitsugaya watched her take a careful tiny sip and smiled from the sweetness causing him to smile too. He let out a sigh, there was no sign of Kira anywhere 'Where the hell is he...?'

An hour passed, Hinamori sat there with the almost empty cup of peach tea but still waiting patiently with a smile. She looked outside expecting the brown haired man to come and wave at her through the window with an excuse why he was so late but, she didn't see him. She watched Shinigamis passing by, the waiter returned "I'm guessing someone is running a little late?"

Hinamori nodded with a small chuckle "He probably lost track of time, he should be here shortly!"

The waiter knew she had been sitting alone in the cafe for an hour and had been very patiently waiting, he smiled as he took the cup "Please let me refill this for you as service."

"Oh! That's really nice of you but, that's fine you don't have to!" Hinamori said but the waiter shook his head "It's okay, I'm sure whoever you are waiting for is worth the wait." Hinamori watched the waiter take her cup away as she sighs "...He should be here soon right?" Hinamori said to herself as she looked out the window, she smiled slowly faded as another hour slowly passed.

She watched other couples holding hands pass by her outside the window, Hinamori looked around the cafe and noticed everyone was either on a date or were with friends. She was the only one sitting at a table alone. Soon, the tables around her were slowly becoming empty as everyone was starting to call it a night and head back to their private quarters.

Hitsugaya sat in the tree with his arms crossed leaning against the tree, he wrinkled his forehead watching Hinamori still waiting...

His heart ached slowly watching her and haven't moved from that seat the entire night "...Momo, why are you still waiting?" he said under his breath soon, his eyes widen hearing himself realizing Hinamori waiting was exactly how she waited for him to return to the human world. Hitsugaya's eyes slowly filled with frustration '...No, not again.' He wasn't going to make her wait any longer as he slowly got off the tree.

Hinamori stared out the window with tired eyes. Soon, someone approached her table as Hinamori's eyes opened. "Ah!" She quickly turned her head with a bright smile and her heart beating rapidly thinking it was the brown haired man but her smile soon faded seeing it wasn't him. Hinamori's smiled slowly disappeared into confusion see Hitsugaya inside the cafe "...Hitsugaya Taicho?"

"Momo...How long have you been here?" He said quietly asked looking at the brown haired girl even though he had been watching her the entire night waiting for Kira. Hinamori tried her best to smile "...Not long!" she replied happily but her smile was completely fake.

Hitsugaya's forehead wrinkled hearing her lie to him when he knew everything 'Why...' he gripped his hands into a fist "Come on, let's go home." He was about to leave but, she did not move or get up from her seat. Hitsugaya looked at her "...Momo?" Hinamori shook her head looking out the window "No...He said he would come."

"It's already 10 pm," Hitsugaya said, he had already noticed no one else in the cafe anymore "The cafe is closing in 30 minutes."

Hinamori shook her head again "He'll be here soon..." her stubbornness was making Hitsugaya aggravated as he looked at her knowing she was not going to leave until the cafe closed. He couldn't understand why she would do this to herself, Hitsugaya looked at her "Momo, he isn't coming...If he had he would have already been here" he said sternly.

"He might have been just late or caught in doing something...!" Hinamori refused, he paused for a moment as he gave a stern look at her "Look Momo, he isn't coming within 30 minutes...He had all night to come to the cafe but he didn't. You're going to wait until the cafe closes!?" Hitsugaya snapped. Hinamori shut her eyes tightly refusing to know the truth and shook her head "He said he'll be here-!"

"WHEN!?" Hitsugaya's voice roared cutting off Hinamori "When is he coming!? Seriously, Momo enough! It's been hours and he still hasn't shown up, if he was late or busy he would have sent a hell butterfly! Don't be so naive-!" His words trailed off as he saw Hinamori stand up and her eyes hidden under her brown hair bangs. Soon, she swiftly raised her hand...

-SLAP!-

He felt a sting on the side of his cheek as he stood there with his face turned to the side. Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya with slightly watery eyes "What does it matter to you?...Why couldn't you just let me wait for him!?" She quickly walked out of the cafe. Hitsugaya had a light pink mark on the side of his cheek. He saw that hit coming and could've easily moved or dodged it...But, he didn't. He felt he had deserved that from a long time ago.

All he wanted was her to be happy but, in the end, he was selfish. He wasn't selfish because he didn't want her to wait for someone else but the fact he didn't want to lose her...She belonged to him. A part of him died seeing he made her cry...He didn't deserve her.

Hitsugaya saw someone holding a cold towel towards him, he saw the waiter who was taking care of Hinamori "Here Hitsugaya Taicho."

The captain shook his head "I'm alright, let me pay for the bill." The waiter shook his head and refused "It's okay, it's just a hot peach tea. I'm sure it's been a rough night for you...I really wonder who is the guy is to make her wait the entire night like that. Especially her first time here. Oh, that reminds me...I know this is probably a bad timing but..." The waiter soon brought out a stack of bills and have a nervous smile on his face "Matsumoto fukutaicho's bills are still unpaid for."

Hitsugaya looked at the receipts and took them "I'll take care of these...And thank you for taking care of Hinamori." The waiter bowed "Thank you Hitsugaya Taicho, I hope we'll see her again..." Hitsugaya nodded and took his leave out of the empty cafe alone.

The next morning, the white haired captain crossed his arms with a deadly aura around him. He knew he should have frozen the blond haired shingami coming out from Hinamori's room that day. He had the chance but, didn't take it because he had only thought they were just friends because they were both vice-captains. Clenching his fist, Hitsugaya was instantly regretting it...

He was heading towards the 3rd division as shinigamis stepped aside making a way for the captain who was out for blood.

Kira walked alone sighing deeply, heartbroken and gloomy. Dragging his feet, he continued to sigh thinking about the rejection he received from Hinamori. "My day can't get worse, could it?" Right when he finished his sentence, a white-haired captain appeared right before him with raging eyes catching him off guard. "H-Hitsugaya Taicho-!" Kira's words were instantly cut off as he felt a great force pinned him against the wall. The captain's forearm was pressed against his collarbone...

"She waited for you at the cafe for HOURS!" Hitsugaya's voice roared "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?"

"W-What!? Cafe? I don't know what you're talking-" Kira's throat was being pushed upward causing him to lose his voice. "You better start remembering, Kira...or else, I'm going to snap your neck with your collarbone" Hitsugaya threaten, Kira looked at the captain in fear but confused why the young captain was attacking him.

"She even went shopping for a new kimono dress to impress you..." His voice lowered but was filled with anger "Someone she doesn't even know!" He remembered her trying out dresses and smiling with excitement for the date night. He didn't care if she was dressing up for someone else, she was happy in his eyes but watching her sit in the cafe alone waiting made him realize how she felt when she was waiting for him to return to the human world to her. But, he didn't return to her...He was on a mission protecting someone else when he should have been there for her.

"How could you.." He pushed against Kira's collar harder with his teeth clenching in anger "...HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO MY MOMO!?"

Kira's eyes widened realizing the captain's feelings for the brown haired girl. "H-Hitsugaya Taicho, you got this all wrong!" He gasped trying to breathe "I-I saw her yesterday at the archives to get an answer from her...S-She rejected me...!" Hitsugaya's eyes widened as he snared "THEN, WHO WAS SHE WAITING FOR YESTERDAY!?"

"I don't know...!" Kira said trying breath and was on the brink of passing out "It... It wasn't ME!"

Hitsugaya soon released him as Kira fell on his knees gasping for air and holding his chest "I-I swear...I would never do anything to hurt Hinamori-kun!" Hitsugaya stood there looking at the vice-captain who leaned against the wall. Still, out of breath, he wiped off his sweat "...When she rejected me, I didn't even know she was going to the cafe with someone else..."

"Do you know who he is or did she talk about someone else?" Hitsugaya asks looking for his next victim. Kira thought about it for a moment and coughed "...She was with someone at the archives but I never got to ask who it was."
