My excuse for updating so late: Well, ummm, er… My, er, dog chewed up my computer and then ate the monitor so, it had to be taken to get repaired and then, when it came back, my imaginary friend, Wolly. Ya, he was in labour, and his water broke when he was flying over the computer. So we rushed him to hospital and got there just in the nick of time. And the computer? It was ruined again…
Seriously.
But on another note:
I AM SOOO SORRY!
I was told that I've been spelling Hinamori wrong (I was spelling it: Hinomori), but you guys are nice, right, you don't mind do you? I feel bad, I know it's just a little thing, but still...
And I spelled Matsumoto: Matsomoto.
Oh, and please be so kind as to review, and if I need them, send me flames, I'll understand. Don't worry, I won't track you down, and kill you while you are sleeping, not me...
Ahem, I'll just start the story now.
Affair of the Heart
Chapter 2: Picnic at the Park
Hitsugaya held out his arm for Hinamori to take. Giggling a bit (then blushing at her giggling) she snuck her arm into his.
Together they walked out of the room.
Hitsugaya, pulling Hinamori protectively, and also because he felt like it, closer towards him, glared at the whistling shinigamis that had stopped what they were doing to look at the couple. His hand twitched out towards Hyourinmaru.
I'll beat them up later…
His hand dropped back, limp at his side.

"Chukka chukka chukka," Rangiku, Gin, Kira, Renji and Iba watched the scene behind 5 pairs of binoculars, "Here comes the tra-ain,"
"Oh my God!" The five friends packed out laughing at Hinamori feeding the tenth division captain a plump, red strawberry dipped in thick, caramel cream.
Hitsugaya swallowed the strawberry with his dignity gone. Every now and then he felt a surge of reatsu from the trees in the far north, but then, as quickly as it came, it disappeared. It was a very familiar reatsu. Very familiar indeed, like the likes of Rangiku, Kira, Gin, Renji and Iba.
They were so dead.
He was distracted as Momo snuggled up to him, gazing at the setting sun. He looked up from above her head, to look at the sunset as well. The sun was casting deep orange shadows across the sky, red streaks upon the ground. Tinges of pinks and purples peeped through the blue. It was a beautiful sight.
The atmosphere seemed to be holding its breath for something big. Even the crickets were chirping extra quietly, and the birds were chirruping softly. A soft, gentle breeze snuck up on the couple, causing Hinamori to delve deeper into his chest.
A soft purr like sound erupted from deep in Hitsugaya's throat from the pleasure.
They sat in that position for a while, until the sun had fully set, and a half moon was peeping out from behind the clouds. "We should go now," Hitsugaya unwillingly pushed Hinamori up from his lap, and got up himself, helping her up as well.
Suddenly,a rumble ran through the ground, causing the couple to cling on to each other for balance. Soon the ground was shaking violently,
"SHIT!" five familiar figures came running to the couple, scared shitless out of their minds, "What the fuck is happening!"
"Calm down, ya'll. It'll pass,"
"Gin, shut up, o.k? You don't know what it is, how do you know that?" Rangiku turned to the rest, fear shone hard in her eyes, "What the …?"
Her sentence drawled off as a man walked towards them, balancing perfectly.
"Good day." He nodded curtly to the group.
And walked past.
"WAIT!" Renji yelled at the stranger, "What's happening!"
"Oh?" he turned back, "but don't you know?" he asked, raising an eyebrow on his handsome face.
"NO!" they all yelled together,
"Oh. Shame. Bye then," winking at Hinamori, he walked away, leaving the group clinging to themselves. Soon after that, it stopped.
"Thank the Lord!"
Masumoto turned to find Hitsugaya taichou glaring at her. She shivered at the suddenly ice cold air surrounding her, "Kuso. Uh, we uh, gotta go now… RUN!"
Hinamori watched the comical scene of Toushiro chasing their friends with a confused look on her face. That man…. who was he…. and why does he make me feel this way…
"Come Momo!" Hitsugaya grabbed her playfully and pulled her with, jerking her out of her thoughts.
She smiled and followed.

12:45 pm – Hinamori's room – Hinamori's POV
I lay there, deep under the covers of my bed. The fluffy pillow below my head felt out of place, and no matter what I did, I could not get comfortable. I had been lying here for about 3 hours.
I'm so tired, but I just can't get to sleep. I can hear Aizen taichou snoring in the next room if I concentrate hard enough. And I find myself doing so. I'm that desparate. Maybe that will bore me to sleep…
But what really is keeping me up is that strange man from earlier. He wore the kimino of the shinigami, but I have honestly never seen him before. He was quite hot….. No! Don't think that!
But that's just it. I can't stop thinking about him. Why? I feel so strange now… almost … impure.
I belong to Shiro-chan. End of story, the end! Any questions? Yes, yes, there are.
Then why do I feel excited when I think of him, and my mind drifts to us kissing…
Why did butterflies shoot through my stomach when he winked at me?
And why can I not stop thinking about him?
Taichou is snoring more loudly lately, and it's really late. I've really got to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day…
END CHAPTER
A/n: Yeah yeah, know, all of them aren't friends, but it's my story. If you don't like it. Don't read. Well, next chapter should be a while… Unless I get these fantastic things called reviews. Somehow, they give me inspiration.
Ja.
