Chapter 2: Not so little anymore
Hitsugaya ended up escorting Hinamori out of the fourth division quarters. Both were silent on their way out. Both were deep in thought. Especially Hitsugaya. The young captain just couldn't help but stare at Hinamori. She was growing too, albeit discreetly.
'Is it just me or is Hinamori's gi getting tight, especially around the chest area...' Hitsugaya asked himself as his face became red again. He then swatted the thought away. 'Iie, I must not think like that. Appearances must be kept!'
"Hey Shiro-chan?" Hinamori asked looking up at Hitsugaya.
"Don't call me that and what?" Hitsugaya replied trying to sound as casual as he could.
"Can I ask a favor of you?"
"What is it?"
"Can you teach me how to perfect my bankai?" Hinamori requested her eyes full of determination.
Hitsugaya looked straight into Hinamori's eyes, he thought about it for a moment then sighed. Even if he did say no she would still ask him, hell, she would ask him until he broke. He might as well get it over with right now, "Hai, I'll teach you." He said coolly.
"Arigatou Shiro-chan!" Hinamori yelled jumping into his arms.
"Oi oi, people are watching," Hitsugaya said trying to pry the girl off him. Truth be told, he didn't mind that she was hugging him at all. He actually liked it.
"Aa, gomen ne Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori detached herself and bowed down, apologizing for her previous actions.
Hitsugaya furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hand dismissively. He hated it when Hinamori apologized for no absolute reason, it was stupid, "Oi, don't blame yourself for something so trivial. Um...if you want we can start the training now, but I must warn you. I train hard."
Hinamori nodded happily, "Hai! And don't worry about me Shiro-chan I can handle you."
"Right then," Hitsugaya said nodding quickly, "Follow me, we'll train in the tenth division training room."
Hinamori nodded and smiled, "Hai!"
"Hinamori try harder!" Hitsugaya commanded as he slashed his left side, where Hinamori was. Luckily Hinamori was fast enough to block his sword. She then jumped back and got into a defensive stance. She seemed to have some breathing problems.
"Hai Hitsugaya-kun!" Hinamori then charged for Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya prepared himself for a frontward strike, but at the last minute Hinamori jumped up and prepared to strike him from above. Hitsugaya quickly brought his sword up and blocked her aerial attack. He tumbled to the side and brought his sword in front of him, "Good Hinamori, but you'll need to be more clever then that."
Hinamori nodded and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the sleeves of her gi, speaking of which she needed to order a new one, her gi got way to tight. "I've got a lot more than that!" Hinamori got into a fighting stance, holding her sword in front of her.
"Good, show me!" Hitsugaya challenged doing that same thing. They continued to spar until nightfall.
"H-Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori breathed as she laid on her back, "So tired..." She turned to her side.
Histugaya agreed with her, he was tired too. They were sparring for 8 straight hours, who wouldn't be tired. Hitsugaya heard a grumble. He put his hand on his stomach and sat up. It seemed like Hitsugaya and Hinamori were so into sparring that they forgot to eat.
Hinamori giggled, "Hungry?"
Hitsugaya nodding still holding his stomach.
"Let's order some food then," Hinamori suggested, "I'm too tired to make something."
Hitsugaya nodded and reluctantly forced himself to stand up, he walked the ordering bell and began ringing it loudly. Soon a shinigami came to the tenth division training room. Hitsugaya was now sitting on the floor cross legged while Hinamori was lying on the floor.
"Hitsugaya-taichou, what do you need?" the shinigami asked.
"I need 2 large obentos with extra wasabi," Hitsugaya ordered. The shinigami nodded and quickly ran off.
Hinamori smiled as she too finally sat up, "I don't need that much food Shiro-chan."
Hitsugaya shook his head in disagreement, "Nonsense, of course you need that food if...you're going to survive another day training with me."
Smiling, Hinamori scooted closer to Hitsugaya, "You're not so little anymore, Shiro-chan."
Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow at Hinamori, "So why do you keep on calling me Shiro-chan?"
"It's a habit, but it's true you've grown up," Hinamori complemented leaning against his shoulder, "But you'll always be Shiro-chan to me."
Hitsugaya felt a little deflated, 'I'll always be Shiro-chan to her? Will I ever be anything more?' He shook his head again. Hinamori felt his discomfort and looked up at the boy.
"Is there anything wrong Hitsugaya-kun?"
"Betsuni," Hitsugaya replied, he looked down at Hinamori, he noticed that her gi was loosened, showing off some impressive cleavage. 'Don't go there!' he scolded his brain. Oh why did Hinamori have to be so attractive? "Hinamori, your gi is loose." Hitsugaya pointed out.
"I know, I loosened it," Hinamori anaswer causually.
"Wh-WHAT?" Hitsugaya felt that red coming back again, "Why?"
Hinamori didn't seem to notice that Hitsugaya was turning red, or the fact that was staring at her chest, "My gi is getting too tight, so I loosened it for now, but I really must get a new one."
Hitsugaya nodded with her explanation.
"Hitsugaya-kun, how did you know my gi was loose?" Hinamori asked, "Did you look?"
"N-no..." Hitsugaya stuttered. His face was a giant tomato right about now.
Hinamori looked up at Hitsugaya and laughed. His face was so red. 'Yep, he was looking at me...' Hinamori felt sorry for Hitsugaya so she tied her gi again. She heard a sigh of relief from Hitsugaya and smiled.
"Arigatou for the dinner Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori thanked as Hitsugaya began walking her to the fifth division quarters.
"It was nothing," Hitsugaya replied tucking his arms in the sleeves of his gi. None said a word after that, they were just content in each other's company for now. After awhile Hitsugaya broke the silence, "Hey Momo."
"Yeah?" Hinamori replied.
"Do you still wet the bed?" Hitsugaya asked looking up.
Hinamori's eyes widened and she punched him on the arm, "What kind of question is that!" She began to blush wildly.
Hitsugaya ignored her punch and sighed, "A truthful one, well tell me do you still wet the bed?"
Hinamori looked down at the floor and answered quietly, "No..."
"I'll take that as a yes," Hitsugaya smirked at her blush.
Hinamori frowned and hit him again, "Shut up Shiro-chan, and I suppose you still have your rubber dog?"
"Hey don't involve my dog in this!" Hitsugaya countered.
"And you have to involve my problem in this!" Hinamori retorted.
They were fighting, but there was no anger in their words. They were just playing around.
"It's a problem you've had since Rukongai! Bed-wetter Momo!"
"Yeah and you still have that rubber dog since Rukongai, Shiro-chan!" Hinamori and Hitsugaya glared at each other for awhile before breaking into fits of laughter.
They kept laughing until they reached Hinamori's room.
Hinamori slid her door open and turned around to Hitsugaya, "Arigatou Hitsugaya-kun." She bowed her head slightly.
"No problem," Hitsugaya whispered.
They were silent once more, neither knew what to say.
"Um...would you like to come in?" Hinamori asked, blushing.
"Yeah, s-sure," Hitsugaya tried to sound calm, but failed. He strolled into Hinamori's room and slid the door shut. Hinamori gestured for him to sit down while she was making some tea.
"Do you want green herbal tea or citrus tea?" Hinamori asked pouring the water into the kettle.
"It doesn't matter."
"Alright."
Hitsugaya cleared his throat. 'Damn, I should've said no. ' He glanced at Hinamori from the corner of his eyes and found those thoughts coming back again, 'No! not again!' he cursed himself for thinking such impure things.
"Hitsugaya-kun, I'm-ahhh!" Hinamori seemed to have tripped, causing her to land on top of Hitsugaya. What made it worse was the hot tea spilled on both of them. What made it even more worse was that Hitsugaya was lodged in between Hinamori's futon and her chest. This was the highlight of his life.
Hinamori snapped out of her shock and looked down to see Hitsugaya, or at least his hair. His face was squished on her chest.
"Hitsugaya-kun! I'm so sorry!" Hinamori eased herself up so Hitsugaya could breathe clearly again.
Hitsugaya was somewhat grateful for this, but in a way, he wasn't. He took a deep breath and stared at Hinamori. He looked down and gulped, "Momo..." Hitsugaya propped himself on his elbows so he was closer to her face.
"Toshiro..." Hinamori edged her face closer so their noses were already touching and their lips centimeters apart.
They were so close, when suddenly the Hinamori's door opened.
"Hinamori-chan, have you seen tai-" It was Rangiku. Her mouth was wide open. Hitsugaya and Hinamori were on top of each other and almost kissing. Her face began to form into a kitsune like face, "Ohoho, I didn't know I was interrupting something special, I'll come back later." Rangiku then shut the door and began to laugh hysterically'
Hitsugaya stared at the door and narrowed his eyes. 'Damn that Rangiku...'
Meanwhile, Hinamori had already gotten off of Hitsugaya, her face was extremely red. 'Hitsugaya-kun...you're definitely not so little anymore.'
