Chapter 05:

"What do you know about Chiyo's mother?" Hisagi asked Kira, Ikkaku and Yumichika as they sat in their usual spot in the bar.

"She doesn't have one." Kira answered. "When she was younger, she went out to the woods with her mother, and that's when that hollow had snuck into Soul Society, right outside the third district, and Aizen and Ichimaru-taicho went and took care of it."

"He's not your taicho, Kira." Ikkaku reminded him.

"Right..." Kira said. "Ichimaru told me about it once, but I didn't make the connection until just now..."

"What's the story?" Hisagi asked, "Well, from what Ichimaru told you."

"He told he found the young child, Yaya Chiyo, in the woods right after her mother had been eaten infront of her moments before. He held onto the girl as she cried out for her mother as Aizen went and killed off the hollow. It was to the stage of almost an archujas, and it was very powerful, but Aizen took it out easily. The family was very disappointed in the death of Yaya Kyouya's wife, and he swore he would never remarry, and that's why Chiyo's the only daughter, and that's why Yaya Kyouya has never been remarried." Kira explained.

"I thought she had her mother still..." Ikkaku said, "I feel horrible now..."

"Why?" Kira and Hisagi both questioned.

"I use to always tease her about how she was a lot like one of the guys and how her mother never showed her the ways of a women." Ikkaku said, "She'd always laugh it off, and beat the crap out of me, but I just thought that she was just pmsing..."

There was a loud interuption as Hisagi dropped his drink as a hand print was very much visable on his cheek. "Is this what you do!?" The group of guys looked up to see a crying Chiyo. "You sit around and talk about me?!"

"No- it's just-"

"I don't want to hear it, Hisagi!" She yelled at him. "I actually started to think you were an okay person- but I see I was wrong!"

"No. Chiyo-" Hisagi stood but she turned away.

"I'm going straight to Captain Commander, and damand that I be placed on a squad that has some sort of respect!" She yelled before leaving the bar.

Hisagi looked at the three guys that he was with. "What are you looking at us for!?" Ikkaku yelled.

"Go after her!" Yumichika said. "She obviously is hurt, and because of what happened! Stop her before she transfers squads!"

Hisagi nodded and left out of the bar. "Boy- what are we going to do with him?" Ikkaku said, "He's so obvious it's kind of sad."

"What do you mean?" Kira asked Ikkaku.

"The guy likes her, and she likes him. Sure it cannot happen, but if she leaves the team, then he'll never see her again, and the two will feel miserble." Yumichika explained.

"But Hisagi moves on quickly." Kira said, "He'll find a new interest by this weekend."

"Do you ever remember Hisagi acting like this before with a girl though, Kira?" Ikkaku pointed out.

"No-but..."

"But nothing." Ikkaku said. "She'll be married by next spring, that's all the time he has left before she'll have to quit being a Shinigami and go back to the noble household."

"Chiyo! Wait." Hisagi said as he ran down the street to catch up with her.

She turned around, her eyes puffed up from crying, and the white patch on her forehead was soaking up the rain that was pouring down. She stared at him, glaring. He didn't like the glare she was giving him, and stayed quiet. "What?! Speak!" She told him, "Or are you just going to play around, and bat around the bush like you always do?!"

"Chiyo... I just... I just wanted to know more about you..." He said, "You said oka-san yesterday when the hollow had came when you had been knocked out. I wanted to know what your mother had to do with it is all..."

"You should have came straight to me and asked me yourself!" She told him. "What you're doing in there, that's not gossiping. That's a form of stalking."

"No it's not, Chiyo." He told her as she tried to turn and leave. He grabbed her shoulder and stopped her in her tracks. Her back still facing him. "I'm just worried about you. I need to know about you in order to understand you. Because you make it quite hard to understand your ways."

"You want to know about me, Hisagi?! My name Yaya Chiyo, I'm from the Yaya family. My mother was eaten before my eyes when I was three years old and I'm terrified of hollows because of it. I became a shinigami in order to protect others from that happening to them, but it's so damn hard to face a hollow for me! I was terrified out there yesterday and I didn't know what to do! I've never faced a hollow before, even in squad 11! All I did was train! Do you realize why I moved so quickly through the ranks?! It's because I didn't go on missions to the living world, and all I ever did was train!" She said to him. "Do you know how sad that is?! And to have Ikkaku making fun of you because you're basically one of the guys because you never had a mother?! To have people put you on a pedistol and make you to be some sort of goddess or some sort of great being. Do you know how hard it is to live up to expectations like that?! And as you probably all ready know now, once spring comes, I have to give up being a shinigami to go and get married! That is why your attempts are futile with me. Yes, I think you're attractive, and I realize you know that. And with you always trying to do things, like telling me I'm beautiful, or that I'm talented, it only hurts, Hisagi!" She said as tears came out and mixed with the rain that fell. "I can't be on your squad anymore because that means I have to be around you more. And it only reminds me of how my life as a noble born child, and the only child born, how horrible it is, and how it is only being torn little by little because of people like you that think that they can care for me."

Hisagi stood there, speechless as she gave a little monolouge. He didn't know what to say, but his hugged her, without saying a word. She cried into him, not trying to get away. "I'm sorry..." he said finally as he held her into the hug. "Don't leave the squad because of that though..." he said barely above a whisper, and barely loud enough for her to hear him. They stood in the rain for about ten minutes before she stepped away. "Are you okay?" He asked her, wipping away some of the tears off her face with his tumb.

She nodded, taking his hand away from her face. Her eyes narrowed as she turned away from him. "I still think you're an asshole though." She said as she started to walk away.

"What?!" Hisagi said shocked.

She turned with a grin on her face, "But remember, you're a hott asshole." She said before turning and running down the street. The sky began to clear as she ran down the road back to her noble household. Hisagi let a small laugh leave his mouth as he watched her leave. He turned and returned back to the bar.

"You seem happy..." Kira commented as Hisagi entered the bar again.

"And quite wet." Yumichika said as Hisagi sat back down.

"You're going to get sick." Ikkaku told him.

"I don't mind." Hisagi said grinning as he grabbed a shot glass and down it. "I'm content for now."

"What happened?" Kira asked him.

"Did you get something from her?" Yumichika asked him.

"What about Saeki?! He's going to kill you if you did anything to Chiyo." Ikkaku commented.

"She's staying on the squad." He said happily.

"That's what you're happy about?!" The three boys said in disbelief.

"I would have thought something entertaining happened and we missed it." Ikkaku said crossing his arms.

"I thought maybe she was going to run off with Hisagi and elope!" Yumichika said crossing his arms as well.

"I think a new bond has been born..." Hisagi said as he took another shot. "And I'm content with that."
