Chapter 14: Reunion
Sounds of birds were heard under the covers as the brown haired girl slowly opened eyes. She couldn't see anything under the shroud but she knew it was morning and laid in the futons without any intention of getting out of bed or preparing for the day. She continued to lay in the futons, she could feel her eyes swollen from her crying for days and her heart aching sharp pains.
She closed her eyes and could feel her eyes becoming watery, after all the tears she shredded she had thought her eyes would have dried out but, they continued to cry. She felt soft thumps of footsteps approaching her room soon there were was a soft knock on the door.
-Knock, Knock…-
She continued to lay in the futons knowing who it was but didn't bother to reply. There was another knock "Momo?" she heard her captain calling out to her but, again she did not a response to him or move.
After a moment, he kissed his teeth "Tsk, I'm coming in."
She heard the door quietly slid open as her captain entered, he stood inside the semi-dark room and saw the girl still in bed under the covers who didn't seem to care that he had entered her room. He let out a quiet sigh and walked passed her to open the windows letting in the fresh morning air and some light.
The darkened room brightens as she moved slightly away and hiding under the covers from the light.
"It's a beautiful morning, are you sure you don't want to get up today either?" the blond bob-haired captain asked, he looked over his shoulder to see if he'll receive a responsive from his vice-captain.
He didn't receive a response or a movement.
It had been an entire week since her date night. He heard from Matsumoto what happened that night and the mysterious shinigami who stood her up but, it wasn't Kira. They had no idea there was someone else.
The 10th division captain has been quite busy looking for who the mysterious man was. Hirako remembered his squad had fear struck into them when he visited the 5th division district…
"Okay squad, unfortunately, your vice-captain is sick today so let's get rollcall going," Hirako said as he stood in front of his squad. The squad stood in their position as the awaited for their name to be called out but suddenly the squad felt a heavy force upon their shoulders.
The force was so great that some fell to their knees…
They saw the white-haired captain standing on top of a large boulder looking down at the 5th division squad. Hirako looked at the young captain "W-What the hell, Toshiro!?" He has seen him angry or pissed off before but this was completely different.
His aura around him spelled out death.
"…You all have 5 minutes to tell me exactly what I want to know" Hitsugaya said in a low yet threatening voice, soon the temperature around them started to drop. It was so cold, the squad began to see their own breath in the air.
"H-Hitsugaya Taicho, what are you talking about-!" one squad member asked but before he could speak again, Hitsugaya shot a cold glare towards him. Hitsugaya stood there quietly "…Let's give this another try."
Suddenly, the squads' feet froze to the floor but Hirako leaped out before his feet were trapped in ice "Stop this, Toshiro! What the hell you think you're doing!?" Hirako landed on a large boulder nearby the young captain.
Hitsugaya stood there with his eyes hidden under his white bangs, he clenched his fist tightly "Who is the one who made Hinamori wait the entire night alone in the café…?" Hirako's eyes widen in shock "…Wasn't Kira the one who was supposed to meet her last night!?"
There was no answer from Hitsugaya.
"Look, I don't know what the hell happened but I know my squad had nothing to do with it so stop this shit!" Hirako yelled as Hitsugaya looked at the squad. Soon, the temperature returned back to normal and the squad was free to move as the ice began to break away.
Hirako turned his attention to the raging captain but, Hitsugaya was already gone. "What the hell happened…?" Hirako said to himself.
Hirako sighed as he looked at his vice-captain clearly she was heartbroken and depressed about her date night. He felt like a helpless captain who didn't know what to do to help his vice-captain.
There was no sign of the mysterious shinigami or even visiting her. Not even a hell butterfly message.
Hirako turned his attention towards his vice-captain "Whatever, if you want to stay in the room and sulk about this…go ahead, just remember you still got paperwork to finish and I'm not going to finish them for you!" Again, Hinamori laid there unresponsive to her captain.
He took a final look at her and sighed before leaving the room and closed the door quietly.
Hirako walked down the halls and looked over the balcony. He saw the white-haired captain with his arms crossed looking up at him. Hirako made his way down the stairs and walked towards Hitsugaya with a raised eyebrow "You know…I was expecting the guy to show up, not you."
"Still hasn't shown up?" Hitsugaya asked.
Hirako let out a scoff "If he did, I wouldn't be here would I? I'll probably be out there making him suffer… And trust me, I have a full schedule waiting for him." Hitsugaya looked up where Hinamori's room is.
Hirako sighed "Yeah…Heartbreaks are not fun."
He passed by the young captain and gave a pat on his shoulder "Give it time, she'll be fine." Hirako left to tend back to his squad as Hitsugaya still stood there looking at Hinamori's door. He wanted to be there for her but, it wasn't him she wanted.
"What does it matter to you?...Why couldn't you just let me wait for him!?"
Hitsugaya felt his chest tighten, the words rang in his mind deeply almost as if it was a knife slowly piercing his chest. He wasn't going to give up, he was going to find whoever did this to her and soon shunpo heading towards to archives.
On arrival, Hitsugaya walked slowly towards the entrance and opened it. Inside was extremely busy as shinigamis who worked inside the archives were organizing books left and right. It seemed no one slept for days…
Hitsugaya approached the front desk as a skinny shinigami who had his eyes glued to a book "I'm looking for someone…" The shinigami let out a chuckle "That's funny…Most shinigamis would be looking for information rather than someone…Hehehe-" His words trailed off as he saw it was the 10th division captain standing in front of him.
"H-Hitsugaya Taicho!" the shinigami quickly closed the book and had his full attention towards him "Oh my god, My apologies! W-What can I help you with?!" he shuddered while sweating nervously.
"I know Hinamori-fukutaicho has been here for a couple of days with someone…I need to know who" Hitsugaya asked but, the shinigami tiled his head with his eyebrow raised in confusion "…Hinamori fukutaicho? The 5th division vice-captain?"
Hitsugaya nodded "Yes, she has been here almost everyday…"
The shinigami looked at the captain strangely "I'm sorry Hitsugaya Taicho….But, I have not seen her around here." Hitsugaya eyes widen "What do you mean…Even her captain said she was here almost every day."
"I'm sorry Hitsugaya Taicho…I honestly have not seen her here" The shinigami raised his hand showing the captain the archives "As you can see…We are extremely busy here and it would be impossible to come here to study with all the ruckus that has been going on here."
Hitsugaya did notice every soul inside the building was rushing and organizing books and it was extremely noisy for anyone to study.
"Oi! Has anyone seen the 5th division vice-captain here!?" The skinny shinigami yelled out as his voice echoed the building. The other shinigamis shook their heads "No, just us here!" a shinigami replied back.
"Nope, haven't seen anyone coming in!" Another called out busily soon, he chuckled as he stacked the books up "Hitsugaya Taicho, you seem to be the first I've seen come inside this building from the outside for MONTHS!"
"I see…Thank you for your time" He turned around to leave the archives. Hitsugaya walked towards the back seeing a small pond and a tree. He stood under the tree and couldn't understand "what was going on if she wasn't here where in the world was she…?"
Inside the 5th division vice-captain's room, she sat under the opened window and her back leaning against the wall. Her eyes dazed as she slowly raised her head up and held her hand out. The soft sunlight touched the tips of her fingers and felt the warmth.
Hinamori let out a sigh and withdrew her hand back away from the sunlight.
She looked at the turquoise kimono dress hanging in her closet, the color reminded of someone as her eyes slowly filled with tears. She brought her face towards her knees and her arms wrapped around her knees.
She couldn't forget what she did to him and clenched her hand she had striked him with.
There was no way she could face him after what she did or forgive herself for what she had done. Hinamori began to cry as she heard a soft knock on her door. She sniffled as she still hid her face away in her knees "Taicho…I want to be alone, please…"
The door slowly slid open quietly as Hinamori heard someone enter the room but still had her face hidden. She felt a warm touch on her head and felt someone's hand rest on there.
"…Hinamori" A deep yet soothing voice called out, her eyes opened widely recognizing the voice.
She lifted her head up and saw a brown-haired man with glasses look at her with a soft smile. Her eyes started to fill with tears as she began to cry. The man wrapped his large arms around her and gave her soft comfort pats on her head "I'm sorry, Hinamori."
She shook her head "…I-It's okay! I know you were probably busy…!"
"Thank you for being so understanding…" As he held her, he let out a small smile "…I heard, Hitsugaya Taicho was there." Hinamori's eyes widen remembering him and what she did. She couldn't understand what had come over her…all she wanted was to wait for him but, something ignited inside her.
She felt guilty to the point she couldn't face him. He went shopping with her and bought her a dress and even a hair clip. Hinamori could feel her eyes getting watery as her vision began to become blurry "I'm sorry…" she slowly pulled away from the man.
She looked away to hide her sadden eyes "I wish to be alone…"
The man sat there looking at the brown-haired girl "Weren't you waiting for me?" Truthfully, she wasn't waiting for him, she was waiting for no one. She shook her head quietly, the man reached out to hold her arm but she moved away.
"Please, I wish to be alone," Hinamori said again.
She looked at the man, he looked down at her with narrowed eyes "You're never alone…Hinamori. I won't let you." Suddenly, he grabbed her arm tightly as the world around her began to consume in darkness.
She was no longer inside her private quarters, the room was cold and filled with dread. Hinamori turned around as her eyes widen in terror. She saw someone bound in black colored bonds head to toe expect small parts of his face.
Hinamori gasped with her mouth covering her mouth, it was the brown-haired man but there was something different about him. She stepped back but bump into someone, quickly she turned around and saw the brown-haired man. There was two of them in the same room…He stood there with a cold smile, Hinamori never felt so scared in her life that her body started to tremble.
"What-Where am I?" Hinamori asked in a quiet voice "Who are you!?"
He stood there looking at the bonded man "You don't remember…I'm hurt Hinamori-kun, you've always been here…Always here with me" his voice began becoming distorted and suddenly, the man's body began to creak and soon, shattered into pieces like a broken mirror.
Hinamori stepped back watching the pieces fall and disappear, all she could do was cover her mouth from screaming. She heard something move behind her as she turned to see the man in black bonds slightly move. He opened his eyes and looked at Hinamori as he drew his first breath "…My Hinamori."
