Here goes:Chapter 4

"Just what happened, Hinamori? Don't just cry like that! Hey, what happened? " said Hitsugaya as he impatiently shook her gently.

After much persuation, Hinamori calmed down a little. Using the Shinigami's uniform sleeves, she wiped her tears dry. Hitsugaya remained by her side, patiently waiting for her to reply his question.

"He asked me to produce a entertainment program, which is too..." There was a slight pause before Hinamori continued as she walk towards the window ," impossible for me to
carry out."

Hitsugaya thought of all possibilities for a moment, but could hardly make out any decent posibilities that was impossible for Hinamori to carry out. When he finally thought of one,

'Is it possible that Shogun Ryuumaru is interested in Hinamori? No way, that's impossible..way too impossible.'

What an undecent thought. He shook his head gently as he shove away that thought.

Hiysugaya finally gave up and asked Hinamori, " So, what is too impossible for you to carry out? I don't see any."

Hinamori turned from the window to look straight into Hitsugaya's eyes, then let out a slient sigh that made it impossible for even Hitsugaya to hear.

"What's wrong?" Hitsugaya looked at her curiously.

That question made Hinamori realise that she had been too quiet for too long. She was not herself tonight and she didn't want Shirou chan to look at this side of her, it's too ugly compared to the usual cheerful and happy-go-lucky Hinamori.

"Well, just don't come tomorrow ok! Unless you want to die under my hands!" said Hinamori firmly as she turned away from Hitsugaya again.

"Please go, Shirou chan. Do not come tommorrow, or else...you'll...you'll...I'll make sure that Captain Shogun will NEVER get his way!" pleaded Hinamori silently.

Hitsugaya observed Hinamori and found that the atmosphere around her was not the usual cheery Hinamori that he know. But in order not to give away any suspicious feeling about it, Hitaugaya decided to observed longer.

"Oh..ok, fine. I have loads of work anyway." Said Hitsugaya with his arms above him, on his head.

"I'll see you to the door, Shirou chan." Hinamori offered with that usual, gentle smile of hers.

"Ha! I do not need a moron like Hinamori to send me to the door!" Said Hitsugaya in false meancing voice and then started to walk to the door, his right hand waving, signalling a good bye.

Hitsugaya begin walking to his dormintory, but later decided to go to the roof top and take a quiet moment first.

He sat down and started thinking about Shogun Ryuumaru.

'What can possibly make Hinamori so nervous, as if she is afraid of me to know her secret. She had always been a obedient, honest and quiet girl who always gain the affection of most Shinigamis.' In the end, he decided to stay on her roof top and secretly follow her to the party.

He arrived sucessfully at the roof top of the 10th dormintory and then used a demon skill to hide his spirtual force from Ryuumaru and Hinamori.Histaugaya reminded himself to be reallt careful of the skill he used to block his spiritual force as Hinamori is a demon arts expert.Quickly settling down, he carefully listen to his surrroundings to make sure that he do not miss out any noise.

Hitsugaya was slowly feeling drowsy, until he heard Hinamori until talking to someone.

"Please do not force me to do that!" Hitsugaya recongnized that pleading voice, it's Hinamori's voice.

"You have to, get that soul-cutter and get your beloved Hitsugaya to fight with me." said the voice in a firm tone.

'It's Shogun Ryuumaru's voice! How dare he force Hinamori to do things that she doesn't want to!' Hitsugaya thought fiercely as he continued listenly.

"Then...then..I'll steal the soul cutter for you, but can you cancel your fight with Shirou-chan?" asked Hinamori.

"No." Ryuumaru said in a flat tone.

"I will not allow Hitaugaya to par with you, Captain." said Hinamori as she took a deep breath and continued, "I have requested him to not come to the party tomorrow."

'Did...she..just called out my name?' Hitsugaya thought, stunned.

"Did you just disobey me?" asked a fumming Ryuumaru.

"Yes, the exchange rules are here. I'll steal the soul cutter for you but you are not allowed to par with Hitsugaya." said Hinamori as her face darkened.

"There's no need to be so fierce, Hi-na-mo-ri chan.I will tell you where and how to steal Kuroi Tsubasa.(Black wings) " said Ryuumaru as he smirked.

A drop of cold sweat fell on Hinamori's plam as Ryuumaru leave her room.

'What am I seriously going to do now?' Hinamori thought as her head sinked into her folded arms as she lied down on her bed.

A minute was spent in slience before Hinamori sensed a 'ki'.

"Who's there?" Shouted Hinamori as she got into a defensive stance.

The young boy on the roof top turned stiff as soon as he heard Hinamori's shouting.

'Oh no oh no...I've been too careless to let my 'ki' get sensed by Hinamori, I am so careless! Looks like I got to reveal myself or Hinamori's yelling will get to Ryuumaru's ear."

Hitsugaya jumped down from the roof top to Hinamori's room in a swift movement. He covered her mouth and calmed her down before releasing her.

"Hinamori." said Hitsugaya

"Shirou-chan! What are you doing here! exclaimed Hinamori, who was visibly surprised.

"Shh...I...I heard everything." replied Hitsugaya.

"Is it...then you should know what to do, Shirou-chan. Please avoid him." Hinamori said with her eyes closed.

"And you go and steal the soul cutter?" questioned Hitsugaya as he continued, facing the window ,"you should know why Kuroi Tsubase is sealed up, have you forgotten what have happened a few years ago?"

"Shirou-chan. All these years, you have been by my side, always protecting me. Now, it's my turn to protect you." said Hinamori, with a sweet smile on her face as she place her hand on Hitsugaya's shoulder.

"I do not need your protection!" Hitsugaya shouted as he push Hinamori's hand away.

Immediately, Hitsugaya realized that it was the wrong thing to be doing. He quickly turn around to see Hinamori touching her hand that was rejected a while ago.

And the last thing Hitaugaya wanted to see was Hinamori's tears falling from her eyes.

A/N: I make sure I make Hinamori and Hitsugaya the cutest couple ever! Please do read and review, please do forgive me for taking a long time..and pls R and R!
