Chapter 36- Present

Hi! Many thanks to Miruke, .Passion and –Rylee87- for the reviews :D. I'm glad people like Raigeki, because I, too, think she's awesome ^-^ Makes me want to remake the zanpakuto rebellion arc with Kikyo and Raigeki in it x.x Anyway, as you all know, I do not own bleach or the bleach characters but I do own my OCs, you know who they are, and I would rather they stayed my OCs, and nobody else's. Thanks for reading up to this far

Once Kikyo finally got to the best shopping district she stopped and looked up at the sky. Now that I'm here…What am I actually going to get him? She wondered,

You don't even know what your lover's gift preference is? That's…kind of bad, actually.

Raigeki! We've been together for about three days! Of course I don't know everything about him!

Well, It's your responsibility as a girlfriend to find out, isn't it?

I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, but he didn't say anything!

Fine, fine…

Kikyo pouted and continued walking through the district, her arms swinging by her sides. The she got an idea, her face lighting up. I could get him something from the real world!

And the chances you'll be allowed to go to the real world to buy a birthday present are…?

Okay, you're right…It would be cool though.

She should have asked him what he wanted again…What on earth did he like? She remembered him saying something about his favourite food…Maybe she could get him some of that? It would be a kind of disappointing birthday gift but…At least he would like it. What was it again? It started with A…She thought. Raigeki sighed in her head.

Kikyo, if I have better memory on what your lover has said to you in the past, I'm worried about your relationship. It's Amanatto, his favourite food is amanatto.

Thanks Raigeki! Maybe if I get him lots of Amanatto it would make a kind of okay birthday present?

I thought he said not to get him anything.

He did, but that's just him. I will get him a present!

Y'know…Despite all of the things I said earlier, he's lucky to have a girl like you.

What do you mean?

Well, You're kind, you can cook, you make sure they're happy and that events that have things to do with them are properly celebrated…

Hehe, I suppose. I hope that's how Hitsugaya feels.

Well, if he doesn't, he's a spoilt brat.

Hehe! Returning to the present, do you think I should get him Amanatto?

I'll let you decide.

Kikyo sighed, thanks for the great help Raigeki she thought sarcastically.

You're welcome!

She sighed again. Okay…So what should she get him? He had an ice-type zanpakuto…Something to do with Ice or snow?...A snow globe? No, he'd kill her for giving him something so childish…

If he did that, Kikyo, I'd kill him back.

Shh, Raigeki, I'm trying to think!

It was so hard choosing presents without getting at least a little bit of an idea what the person wants! His birthday was so near Christmas…Wait…Did they even have Christmas in Soul Society? She couldn't remember it in her past years here…So…By coming to Soul Society…No more Christmas? She frowned and looked down. Christmas was her favourite time of the year…She supposed it wouldn't be as fun without her aunt, anyway…No, that's wrong, she had Toshiro now. She could spend it with him. She was going to ask around later, but it was highly, highly unlikely that they had Christmas. They had new year though…So why was Christmas excluded? She sighed. That's not important, the present is. She absent mindedly stared at some of the shop windows. Maybe the amanatto idea really was the best…She wouldn't mind getting a load of blue-berry ice cream for her birthday. She remembered his friend, Momo Hinamori. They were childhood friends…She was most likely getting him a present too. Maybe she should ask her for advice.

That's cheating!

This isn't a game! It's buying a birthday present!

"You want to know what Hitsugaya-Kun would like as a birthday present?" Hinamori asked, looking up from her paperwork. "Yes. Are you getting him something?" Kikyo asked, pacing back and forth. "Hmm…Last year, instead of buying him something, we set up some fireworks instead. He smiled, so he must have been happy." Hinamori said with a smile. "But he wouldn't want the same thing twice in a row…" Kikyo sighed with a frown. Hinamori nodded her smile fading. "Perhaps he'd enjoy just some time to be with you? I know all about you two." Hinamori giggled with a smile, receiving a small blush from Kikyo. "Maybe…I'm not sure. We could…go for a walk or something, I guess."

"Well, from now on I'm leaving it up to you!" Hinamori smiled. Kikyo was a bit surprised before she frowned again and with a sigh, walked out of the office. Why did everyone do that? Maybe she should just go for a nice walk with him on his birthday. She blushed and smiled to herself, she'd be happy with just some time with him as a birthday present…

That's…cute.

You're very talkative today, Raigeki?

I am…?

Mm-Hmm.

Well, I'm in a good mood. It felt so good to fight those arrancar on my own…It's been ages since I've done that.

You did it…That night. The night I got sealed away, I mean.

I'll never forgive myself for letting them hurt you…

Don't worry, there was nothing you could have done. You did your best and risked your life protecting me, I'm grateful. If you hadn't at least tried, I really wouldn't be here now.

…

Thanks, Raigeki.

You're welcome, Kikyo. I'm glad I have such a forgiving master.

Aw, come on. There's nothing to forgive. I've decided on a birthday present, let's go home.

Following Hinamori's advice?

Most of it.

Well, that's the end of that chapter I won't be updating as often now, because the school holidays are, sadly, over. I'll update at every chance I get though! Reviews are always appreciated, and once again, thanks to the people who recently reviewed!

Omake: If Kikyo had a very different personality…(Swearing)

Toshiro's birthday:

Kikyo: F**king asshole never told me what he wanted…I could get him- AH! F**CK THIS!

Valentine's Day:

Kikyo: What day is it today? Oh shit! It's Valentine's Day! I never got him anything! Shit!

Toshiro: Here, I bought you some chocolates.

Kikyo: Piss off! I didn't get you any!

Toshiro O.O

Anniversary:

Toshiro: Do you know what day it is today?

Kikyo: Friday?

Toshiro:…It's an important day…

Kikyo: Do we have an important captain's meeting? Shit, I don't want to go.

Toshiro: Not important like that! What should have been the happiest day of your life!

Kikyo:…The day I got my Xbox 360?

Toshiro: IT's OUR ANNIVERSARY! ANNIVERSARY! I BOUGHT YOU A PRESENT!

Kikyo: You f**king woke me up to tell me that? Piss off, it's seven in the morning!

Toshiro:…

Their relationship would end….quite soon.

Omake: End.
