X-Epilog-X
Actually sir, I want to tell Momo that I love her. That wonderful sentence ran though Momo's head over and over again. She was in complete shock. All the feelings that he had for her were now out in the open for everyone to hear. Her face was now the same dark crimson as Abarai- Fukutaichou's hair and there was no way of hiding it. She glanced down the table to where Yamamoto- Sutaichou sitting and to her surprise he was smiling.
"And Hinamori- Fukutaichou, do you return his feelings?" Yamamoto asked solemnly.
"I-I… yes, I do." She muttered. Once she managed to get the sentence out there was a slight pause and then a sudden squeal from the women in the room, with the exception of Soi Fong- Taichou.
"It was about time." Yachiru yelled as she jumped on to Hitsugaya's shoulders nearly knocking him over, and then running off to inform Ikkaku and Yumichika.
"Matsumoto, was this what you were planning?" Kenpachi asked lurking out of his corner of the room. This made all eyes shoot over towards her. She turned almost as red as Momo.
"Umm… does it really matter?" she answered trying to get the spot light off of her and back onto her Taichou and his newly ousted girlfriend.
"I guess it really doesn't as long as their happy," Unohana- Taichou added, turning the attention back to Hitsugaya and Hinamori.
"They do make the perfect pair." Ukitake – Taichou said walking into the conversation to save Matsumoto from any more interrogations, which she made a mental note to thank him for later.
On the other side of the room Komamura- Taichou along with his Fukutaichou and Hisagi- Fukutaichou began to cry a little. And Kurotsucih- Taichou was muttering about not wanting to even be at this "stupid party" to being with while Kurotsucih- Fukutaichou was staring to walk over to congratulate Hinamori- Fukutaichou on the news of returned feelings. However she never made it to her. Nemu was cut off by Abarai- Fukutaichou and Kira- Fukutaichou who gave Momo a running hug picking her up off of the ground.
"Abarai- Fukutaichou, please don't hurt her," stoic voice said from behind the gaggle.
"But Kuchiki- Taichou, it's just too perfect." Renji said putting Momo back down.
"It is perfect, we are all very happy to see Hitsugaya- Taichou finally see what we all have seen." Kuchiki- Taichou added giving Momo a rare but sincere smile.
While Momo was being bombarded with hugs, Hitsugaya was being cornered by Yamamoto –Sutaichou and Soi Fong- Taichou. "Do you intend to marry her," Soi Fong asked bluntly.
Hitsugaya paused at the question, he hadn't thought very far pasted telling Momo he loved her. He had assumed that the reaction wouldn't be so warm from all of the other divisions. "I hadn't really got that far. I don't even know if Yamamoto- Sutaichou will allow it," he responded sheepishly to her question, then turning to look over towards Yamamoto.
"Yamamoto- Sutaichou, you should let them. It would mean the world to Hinamori- Fukutaichou if you let him ask for her hand," Kyoraku- Taichou said resting his arm on Hitsugaya's shoulder.
There was a long pause before Yamamoto spoke. The anticipation was slowly killing Toshiro. "I do not see why it would be a problem. I know that the feelings are genuine; we have all been able to see that. If you whish to ask for her hand, do so." A slight blush and a smile grew on Toshiro's face. This was his chance to be the person Momo needed most. Now the problem was getting her alone again.

The party had ended on a very high note. With the announcement of Toshiro and Momo's feelings and Yachiru's yearly parade of presents everyone was in good sprits. Well everyone except the Division Eleven members that had to clean up after the party. Hitsugaya had convinced Renji and Kira to take Matsumoto back to the barracks while he walked Momo home. It didn't take much convincing. Snow was still falling from the night before and Momo walked close to Toshiro leaning her head on his shoulder. The full moon was lighting their path.
"Shiro- Kun, I know you know your way round, but where are you going?"
"I'm just taking a detour. I wanted to show you something." She looked up at him in curiosity, thinking that it could either be a good thing or a bad thing. They walked for a little longer in the moon light until the came to the Division four Sakura Garden. Hinamori's curiosity grew. Hitsugaya walked over towards one of the barren trees and sat on the bench underneath it. They sat there for a while gazing up at the moon and the snow; then Toshiro turned to Momo and kissed her. The warmth from his kiss made her blush a little. She moved to speak but was caught by his kiss again. He leaned his head against hers and looked deep into her eyes.
"Momo, will you marry me?" He asked suddenly. She looked a little surprised and the blush that had already been on her face grew a little more.
"Yes," she answered catching his smile with a kiss of her own.
