Chapter One: What's Wrong!
It was a bright and sunny morning as usual in Soul Society, so Hinamori decided to pay a visit to Shiro-chan's office. When she got there, however, she found an unusual scene. Matsumoto was doing paperwork, and Shiro-chan was the one sleeping on the couch. Well, not really sleeping. He had a white cloth on his forehead; cheeks tinged pink, and were breathing rather harshly. This was not the normal Shiro-chan.
Hinamori: Matsumoto-san, what happened!
Matsumoto: Taichou, apparently, isn't feeling very well today, so I took over.
Hinamori: Oh…
She walked over to the couch and looked at Shiro-chan for a while. Then, unconsciously, she slipped her hand into his. Before she had time to feel embarrassed, she noticed something unusual. The usual freezing (literally) captain was burning. What's wrong?
Hinamori: Matsumoto-san!
Matsumoto: Hai? What's wrong?
Hinamori: Hitsugaya-kun is burning up! He's always cold!
Matsumoto: What?
Hinamori: Seriously! We should get him to Unohana-taichou's office immediately!
Matsumoto: Hai!
A little while later….
Unohana: What!
Well, you can't blame her. She just heard a loud, anxious rapping at the door, and then in burst Hinamori, followed by Matsumoto who was holding an unconscious boy. It took Unohana some time to register just who the boy was. With a gasp of recognition, she realized the boy was Hitsugaya Toushirou, boy genius captain of the elite 10th division.
Unohana: What's wrong!
Hinamori: It's Shi-Hitsugaya-taichou! He's burning up, and you know how he's always
freezing!
Unohana pointed to a bed, indicating that they put Hitsugaya on the bed. Then, she began examining him carefully. First she couldn't find anything wrong, then she remembered something that made her gasp.
