Chapter 4: Spying

Hinamori smiled. This was a wonderful night, the fact that she was spending with Hitsugaya made it even better. Hinamori sneaked a glance at Hitsugaya and blushed. He wasn't the little boy she knew from the Rukongai days anymore, he had grown so much. Even though he still had his rubber dog.

"We're here Hinamori," Hitsugaya said as he stopped walking. Hinamori looked up at the restaurant and gasped, it was one of the finest restaurants in Rukongai. Hinamori had been wanting to go there for awhile but she never had time. Well, she had time now.

"H-Hitsugaya-kun, I've-"

"You've always wanted to come here," Hitsugaya cut her off, "I know." Hitsugaya turned to Hinamori and smiled, "Let's go in."

Hinamori nodded and walked in with Hitsugaya, 'This night keeps getting better and better.'

Rangiku bit her lip, "That charmer, he's taking her to the most fanciest restaurants in Rukongai!" Raniku and Kira were positioned near a building near the restaurant.

Kira sighed sadly, "Matsumoto-san, we should go back...I have a really bad feeling about this."

Rangiku shushed Kira, "Shut it and watch." Rangiku commanded as she grabbed Kira's collar and dragged him so he could watch the scene. Kira had no choice but to listen. After Hitsugaya and Hinamori walked in to the restaurant Rangiku spoke up again, "We need to follow them."

"Matsumoto-san, no! I don't want to die young...again!" Kira whined.

"Shut up and follow," Rangiku ordered grabbing Kira's ear and dragging him along with her.

"Ow! You're hurting me Matsumoto-san!"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"

Rangiku dragged Kira to the front of the restaurant. The waiter at the front let them in and showed them to their table. Another waiter gave them menus. Rangiku quickly grabbed a menu and propped it up so it could cover her and Kira's faces.

Rangiku glanced to the side to see Hitsugaya and Hinamori talking idly. Rangiku sighed, 'Taichou can be suh an idiot sometimes.'

"Hitsugaya-kun?" Hinamori asked.

"Yeah," Hitsugaya replied looking at the scenary that their window seat provided.

"Why did you take me here?"

Hitsugaya was silent. He had to carefully choose his words, "It's a reward for all the training you had to go through."

"Oh," Hinamori whispered. She wanted him to say something else, like, 'Because I wanted to be with you.' Or 'I just wanted to spend some time.'

After awhile of silence their food came. They both began to eat quietly until Hinamori broke the silence once more.

"Honestly Hitsugaya-kun, you couldn't have dressed up and brought me to a fancy restaurant just because it was a reward for my training, can you?" Hinamori inquired gazing deeply into Hitsugaya's emerald eyes.

Hitsugaya turned his head away and muttered something quietly.

Hinamori raised an eyebrow, "What did you say?"

"I said no, that isn't the reason," Hitsugaya whispered locking eyes with Hinamori once more.

Hinamori felt herself blush, "Then what was the reason?"

Now it was Hitsugaya's turn to blush, much to his own violation, "I just wanted to be with you."

'Yes!' Hinamori thought happily. She then noticed that Hitsugaya's hand was on the table, she suddenly had the sudden urge to hold it. She gave into her urge and gently placed her hand on his.

Hitsugaya looked down at his hands then up at Hinamori, who had a lovely smile on her face. He blushed again and intertwined their fingers causing Hinamori to look up at him in surprise.

'This is the best night of my life.' Hinamori and Hitsugaya thought.

"Kawaii! They're holding hands!" Rangiku clapped her hands happily as she watched the couple from a distance.

Kira covered his face with his hands and sighed, he had begun praying to every god he knew. He didn't want Hitsugaya to find out him and Rangiku were spying.

Hitsugaya snapped his head to the side as he sensed familiar spiritual energy, 'Rangiku...' he thought angrily as he scanned the restaurant for any signs of the blonde. He suddenly spotted a table with 2 people their faces covered by a large menu, 'She must be right there.'

Hinamori had sensed Rangiku's spiritual power as well as Kira's. She knew the reason they were here and frowned, 'They're spying on us.'

Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori and Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya, a mutual understanding crossed between both of them. They both stood up and walked towards Rangiku and Kira's table.

Hitsugaya plucked the menu away to reveal their faces.

Rangiku was too busy talking and Kira was too busy covering his face. Hitsugaya frowned and coughed a bit, getting both of their attentions.

Rangiku's eyes widened in horror and Kira just got really pale. Also the room just dropped about 40 degrees in temperature.

"Ha ha, Taichou, what a coincidence," Rangiku said nervously laughing.

Kira, however, just broke out, "Please don't kill us Hitsugaya-taichou, it was Matsumoto-san's idea!"

Rangiku frowned.

Hitsugaya felt Hinamori tug on his sleeve and turned to her. Hinamori then whispered something in Hitsugaya's ear and he nodded albeit reluctantly, "I'm really not that mad about you 2 spying on us but...tomorrow both of you will report to the 10th division training room and take your punishment."

"Hai," Both Rangiku and Kira said frowning.

"Now, I expect both of you to leave so Hinamori and I can spend our dinner in peace," Hitsugaya made it sound more like a command then a request.

"Hai , hai, taichou we'll leave," with that Rangiku dragged the still pale Kira out of the restaurant leaving Hitsugaya and Hinamori alone at last. They both returned to their seats and smiled at each other.

"Arigatou for the dinner again, Hitsugaya-kun," Hinamori whispered as she leaned against Hitsugaya's door.

"Think nothing of it," Hitsugaya waved his hand, "It's late, you should really get some sleep."

Hinamori nodded and was about to walk away when an idea flashed through her mind, "Hitsugaya-kun?"

"Huh?"

"Can we sleep with each other...like how we used to in Rukongai?" Hinamori asked blushing.

Hitsugaya sighed. In truth he didn't mind the idea at all, he really missed sharing a bed with Momo, it had been so long, "Yeah, but Momo, don't let me wake up on something unpleasant."

Hinamori punched Hitsugaya on the arm.

Hitsugaya opened his door and let Hinamori in first. She took off her black robes and was left with the white yukata underneath. Of course Hitsugaya didn't look, but who said he didn't want to. Hinamori then laid down on his futon and pulled the blanket over her. Hitsugaya then changed into his white gi and pants. He then laid down with Hinamori.

"Goodnight Bed-wetter Momo," Hitsugaya said turning his back to her.

"Goodnight...Shiro-kun," Hinamori whispered closing her eyes.

Hitsugaya's eyes widened, 'She didn't call me Shiro-chan, but Shiro-kun.' Hitsugaya felt truly happy. He could finally get some good sleep.
