Chapter 3: It's a date
Hitsugaya could not sleep. He could not sleep at all. He was thinking, thinking about the events that happened yesterday. 'Since when did I think of Hinamori like that? I've always been her protector...but...when did I start thinking like a pervert?' He stared at the ceiling, 'Oh yeah, when I began growing up.'
Hitsugaya sighed once more, he would have to train with Hinamori again. After what happened in her room last night, he wasn't sure he step in a one mile radius of her much less train closely with her. He covered his face with his hands. Since when did life, for him at least, get so damn complicated.
He hated it, but at the same time enjoyed it.
Hitsugaya was getting a large headache, all this thinking was beginning to tire him. 'Maybe I will get some sleep after all.' He thought hopefully.
"Hitsugaya-kun!" Hinamori called. She heard no answer, 'How strange, Hitsugaya-kun would be awake by now, it is 8:00 am after all. ' Hinamori decided that she would try to call him again, "Hitsugaya-kun!" Still no answer. She was getting worried, what if something horrible happened to him? Hinamori gathered up all her courage and opened his screen door. She looked around his room and saw that his bed was still a mess. She then turned her head to his restroom. Rational thought left her for a moment as she opened the restroom door.
"Hitsugay-" Hinamori suddenly cut herself off. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened in horror and embarrassment.
Hitsugaya was in his bathtub, naked, if it weren't for the amount of bubbles she would have seen everything. And I mean, everything. He was holding his rubber dog and looking at Hinamori with wide eyes. He couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't do anything.
"G-gomen!" Hinamori squeaked as she rushed out of his bathroom closing the door loudly behind her. She then left his room and shut the screen door. She leaned against it, holding her chest as a blush crept onto her face.
'Take deep breathes Hinamori Momo, it's nothing. You just almost saw Hitsugaya-kun naked...it's nothing. Really, nothing.' She couldn't convince herself that it was nothing. It was something. She couldn't breathe...and when did it get so hot? 'What's going on here, is this part of growing up?'
Hinamori was interrupted from her thoughts by Rangiku, "Hinamori-chan! What are you doing here to early? " Rangiku noticed that Hinamori was looking quite red, "EH? What happened Hinamori-chan, you look like a beet!"
"Aa, it's n-nothing really!" Hinamori laughed nervously and waved her hands.
Rangiku looked suspiciously at Hinamori and smiled slyly, "Did taichou do something to you? Something at you liked?"
"Iie! It's nothing like that!" Hinamori found herself getting redder by the second. This was really hard.
"Neeee, don't lie, what did he do?" Rangiku gave Hinamori a sly glance.
"Who did what?" a voice inquired.
Rangiku turned to her left and saw her captain looking at her with half-lidded eyes. Rangiku suddenly backed away and put her hand over her heart. "Taichou, you scared me!"
"Uh huh..." Hitsugaya then turned his head to Hinamori, who was avoiding his gaze at all costs, "Are you ready to practice Hinamori?"
"Hai..." Hinamori nodded her head slowly.
Hitsugaya coughed slightly, he tried his best to keep a cool demeanor, exploding right now, in front of his baka vice captain would not be the best idea in the world. He hoped that Hinamori would keep her cool too, but unfortunately, she could not.
"Hinamori, are you not feeling well?" Hitsugaya questioned, just to make some small talk.
"Of course I'm not feeling well!" Hinamori forcefully replied, "I was this close to seeing you naked!"
Hitsugaya paled, "Well if you just knocked, we wouldn't have been in that situation would we?"
"I called your name Hitsugaya-kun!" Hinamori retorted, "I yelled really loud, but you were too busy with your rubber dog! If you heard me we wouldn't be arguing right now would we?"
"You burst into my restroom without thinking, that was your fault!"
"You didn't even hear me, what else could I have done, sit around and wait for nothing?"
"I would've preferred you done that instead of bolting into my restroom!"
Hitsugaya growled and Hinamori glared. Both were then interrupted from their thoughts by Rangiku's laughter.
"Ohohoho...taichou...bathtub...hoho...rubber dog...!" Rangiku began to hold and stomach and go on the floor, this was too funny.
Hitsugaya glared at his vice-captain.
"Kiya!" Hinamori screamed charging at Hitsugaya with immense speed. She unsheathed her soul slayer and slashed at Hitsugaya. He easily dodged her attack and unsheathed his soul slayer as well. Hinamori turned backed and tried to charge for him again. Hitsugaya got into a defensive stance and prepared for the strike.
Clash!
Their swords both hit eachother, causing some sparks to go off. Hinamori summoned all her strength and pushed against Hitsugaya's sword.
"Good Hinamori," Hitsugaya commented.
Hinamori just nodded and pushed harder against Hitsugaya's sword, causing him to slip back a couple of steps.
"But not good enough!" Hitsugaya pushed back one time and sent Hinamori way back. She lost her balance and fell flat on her butt.
"Aye!" Hinamori stood up and patted her rump. God, that hurt.
Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow at her and shook his head, "You need to practice on your balance more..."
"I do not!" Hinamori argued crossing her arms over her chest.
"You fell when I pushed you back, that means you have to practice," Hitsugaya pointed out, giving Hinamori a look.
Hinamori glared at him, "I don't need to practice! I have perfect balance!"
Hitsugaya chuckled, 'She is so cute when she's angry.' He suddenly shook his head. He couldn't think like that, appearances had to be kept. "Hinamori, we have done enough training for today, you may leave." He sheathed his soul slayer and turned his back towards her.
"Eh? But we usually train more than this," Hinamori replied, shocked by his statement.
"Yes, well...today I'm not up to the long hours, plus I have lots of paperwork to catch up on and I have to train my squad." Hitsugaya answered.
"Oh," Hinamori replied sadly, in truth Hinamori really wanted to spend time with him, even if it was just training. Hinamori bowed down to Hitsugaya and whispered, "Arigatou for your time Hitsugaya-kun."
Hitsugaya heard an amount of sadness in Hinamori's voice and felt he was the cause of it. He turned his head to the side and looked at Hinamori as she began to leave.
"Hey Momo..." Hitsugaya said.
"Huh?" Hinamori paused from leaving to look at Hitsugaya.
"Are you busy after 8:00 tonight?" Hitsugaya inquired, hoping that she wouldn't be.
"No, why do you ask?"
"I want to take you to dinner," Hitsugaya answered, turning to head back to its original place.
Hinamori stared at the back of his head, she wished she could see his face. She was speechless, did Hitsugaya just ask her out?
"So are you busy?"
"N-no," Hinamori blushed.
"Good, I'll pick you up around 8:00, also dress up too, we're going to a really nice place," Hitsugaya replied.
Hinamori smiled and walked to Hitsugaya, she stopped when she was a couple of inches from him. Hinamori wrapped her arms around Hitsugaya's waist and placed her head on his shoulder.
"It's a date then...Shiro-kun," Hinamori whispered pulling him close to her. She then let him go in a swift movement and walked out of the tenth division training room.
"Taichou, sorry bout- wha?" Rangiku stared at her captain. He was wearing more nicer robes, it made him look more mature. She had a feeling why he was dressed like this, but she didn't want to press the subject, "What's with the suit, I thought you hated these things."
"I'm going somewhere tonight," Hitsugaya answer simply.
"Where?"
"None of your business, just somewhere," Hitsugaya replied.
"Come on Taichou, tell me where are you going?" Rangiku whined, curiosity was really killing her.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you'll just blab it out to whom ever passes you by, that's why," Hitsugaya stated curtly.
"Taichou, you know I won't stop until I get my answer! I'll just follow you wherever you go, even on your outing!" Rangiku threatened.
Hitsugaya's eyes widened as he imagined him and Hinamori eating peacefully then out of nowhere Rangiku appeared and started screaming. He shivered at the thought.
"Fine, I'll tell you," Hitsugaya said dryly.
Rangiku clapped her hands happily.
"I'm going to dinner with Hinamori, tonight."
"Repeat that."
"I said, I'm going to dinner with Hinamori tonight."
Rangiku blinked a couple of times and smiled and quickly ran out of the room screaming 'my little captain has grown up.'
Hitsugaya adjusted his collar and narrowed his eyes at Rangiku's screams, "I shouldn't have told her."
Hinamori heard a knock on her door and stood up right away, 'Hitsugaya,' she thought happily as she opened the door. She gasped at how mature and handsome he looked. Hinamori felt a blush creep onto her face.
"Hinamori-san...you look...exceptionally urm...beautiful tonight," Hitsugaya whispered, looking at Hinamori. She really did look beautiful. Her hair was taken out of its usual bun and it hung loosely on her shoulders. What she was wearing took his breath away, literary, he couldn't breathe for a moment.
"Arigatou Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori blushed stepping out of her room and closing the door.
"Shall we go?" Hitsugaya said taking Hinamori's hand in his, causing her to blush even more.
"Hai!" Hinamori squeaked.
Hitsugaya smiled slightly and began walking with Hinamori's hand in his.
Rangiku smirked as she spied on her captain and Hinamori with Kira.
"Come on Kira, they're leaving!" Rangiku said motioning to Kira.
"I don't know about this Matsumoto-san..." Kira looked extremely nervous. There was a chance him and Rangiku would get caught spying on Hitsugaya and Hinamori and if that happened then hell would freeze over, literary.
"Aw Kira-kun, don't worry, we won't get caught!" Rangiku said sounding confident.
"A-alright," Kira gulped staring at the couple walk away. He heard the confidence in Rangiku's tone but he was still afraid. Hitsugaya could be extremely scary at some times.
"Let's go, they're leaving!" Rangiku said waiting for the right moment to leave.
'Somehow, I think this is going to blow in our faces...' Kira thought sadly.
