A.N. The first part to this chapter has nothing to do with Hitsugaya and Hinamori. But it will soon. O yeah, Ichigo is a Captain.

Chapter 6: Winter kisses


"Yo, Matsumoto-san," Ichigo said as he spotted the strawberry blonde.

"Eh? Hey Kurosaki-taichou," Rangiku said smiling then she spotted Rukia Kuchiki, "Hey Kuchiki-san"

Rukia just waved at Rangiku and smiled.

"So what's up?"

"I was wondering if you saw Hitsugaya-taichou, he wasn't there for the Captain meeting today," Ichigo said scratching the back of his head.

"Hmm...now that you mention it, Hinamori-chan wasn't at the Vice-captain meeting either." Rangiku replied tilting her head to the side.

Ichigo's eyes widened, 'They're both missing, and they do have a connection with eachother...possibly they might have...' Ichigo shuddered at the thought. He was met with a bonk on his head by none other then Kuchiki Rukia.

"Get those dirty thoughts out of your head Ichigo!" Rukia scolded.

"I can't help it if I think like that!" Ichigo retorted, "Hitsugaya's 170 something for heaven's sakes! You think he can wait that long!"

This caused Rukia to get even more angry, "Kiisama!" Rukia screamed punching Ichigo under the chin sending him on his back.

Rangiku stared at the couple and sweatdropped, 'That is some Tough Love.' Soon Rangiku left deciding to check up on her taichou to see if he was alright and if he was doing something with Hinamori.


"Shiro-kun, we're all wet now!" Hinamori said wiping the water off her face.

"So?" Hitsugaya said noticing that Hinamori's clothes stuck to her figure accentuating her developing curves and erm...chest. He looked away, blushing.

Hinamori laughed a little bit and smiled, "It was fun though, we should do it again."

"No, let's not," Hitsugaya said quickly. He then walked out of the restroom, leaving Hinamori alone for a bit. He walked back in holding a white yakuta and towel. He handed it to her and said, "Change out there, I'll change in here." With that Hitsugaya ushered Hinamori out of his restroom and closed the door.

After a bit Hitsugaya immerged in his white gi and pants. He noticed Hinamori was sitting down so he sat down with her.

"What took you so long, Hitsugaya-kun?" Hinamori asked toweling her hair dry.

Hitsugaya didn't speak, instead he took a lock of Hinamori's hair and moved it between his fingers, "I had to clean the restroom, we made a large mess."

Hinamori glanced at him and blushed, "I see." Hinamori paused for a minute before speaking again, "Rangiku told me something a long time ago that I want to ask you about."

"She did?" Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow, 'Kuso, that woman better not have said anything absurd. She's already in deep trouble for spying on me and Hinamori.' He took a deep breath, "What did she say?"

"Well..." Hinamori then thought back to the conversation that her and Rangiku had years ago.

It was after the war between Soul Society and Menos Grandes. Hitsugaya had gotten injured during his battle with Aizen and now was in a critical state. Hinamori couldn't help but think it was her fault.

"Ne...Hinamori-chan, you shouldn't feel so bad," Rangiku said patting her friend on the back.

"I can't help but feel bad, Hitsugaya is injured because of me!" Hinamori cried.

"It's not your fault Hinamori-chan," Rangiku said, "Taichou's obsession is to see you safe and out of harm's way. He only did what he thought was right."

"I know, but that got him a sword through the chest!" Hinamori said tears cascading down her cheeks.

Rangiku's eyes softened, she had only seen Hinamori this distressed when Aizen was found murdered, "Hinamori-chan."

"Yes?"

"Do you like taichou? As in more than a friend?" Rangiku asked.

Hinamori looked down at Hitsugaya's comatose body then at Rangiku, "Yes, I do. I have for some time, now I'm afraid I won't ever be able to tell him!"

Rangiku smiled, "Don't give up, you will get to tell taichou."

"How do you know though?"

"Because taichou likes you too," Rangiku answered causing Hinamori to blush, "The love that you 2 have can overcome anything."

Hinamori smiled at Rangiku, "Doumo Rangiku-chan, I feel better now."

"No problem," Rangiku began walking out of the 4th division recovery room, she turned her head back to Hinamori one more time, "Though I must admit, that thing I said sounded really corny!"

Hinamori still remembered the words that Rangiku spoke to her, biting her lip she summoned all of her courage, "Rangiku-chan said that you liked me."

Hitsugaya's eyes widened. He couldn't breathe, he felt his body go numb, and worst of all his face got really red, though he couldn't see it...he could sure as hell feel it!

"Is it true?" Hinamori got a good look at his face and tried her best to stifle a giggle. He was so red.

After an awkward silence Hitsugaya answered, "Yes." All Hitsugaya could think about was if Hinamori liked him back, "D-do you feel the same?"

Hinamori looked at him for a moment. Usually Hitsugaya would be the man of action but Hinamori decided it was her turn to act. Instead of answering him she closed her eyes captured his lips in a passionate kiss.

Hitsugaya gasped, Hinamori just kissed him. That had to mean she felt the same, right? After the initial shock Hitsugaya decided to take control. He pushed her against his glass door into a sitting position, while he got on his knees. He placed his left hand on the glass for support while his right hand grasped the corner of Hinamori's gi, pulling it down slightly to reveal her creamy shoulders.

While Hinamori's hands grabbed the sides of his gi dragging it down. 'I never thought this would happen...I'm enjoying this.'

Hitsugaya felt somewhat bold, he licked her bottom lip. Hinamori seemed to understand what he was getting at so she parted her lips. Hitsugaya then slipped his tongue in, surprising the girl and making her blush wildly. Their tongues touched, sending waves of electricity through them. Hitsugaya soon realized that he was running out of air so he reluctantly broke the kiss. Hinamori pouted and stared at him.

"W-wow, Shiro-kun...wow," Those were the only words Hinamori could say at the moment Wow and Shiro-kun.

Hitsugaya blushed and smiled at her, "I guess that means you like me."

Hinamori nodded jumping to his arms and hugging him tightly. Hitsugaya hugged her back.


Rangiku, Ichigo and Rukia walked to the 10th division headquarters. Ichigo and Rukia had made a bet, Rukia said that Hitsugaya would not try anything while Ichigo said that Hitsugaya and Hinamori might be making out as they spoke. Whoever lost the bet would have to be the winner's personal man/woman servant for a month.

Rangiku couldn't help but smile, she wasn't sure who would win but she was going with Rukia's bet. She knew her captain and Hinamori, they would not try anything. Oh what little did Rangiku know. They had reached Hitsugaya's room.

"Hey, is that Hinamori-san?" Ichigo asked squinting his eyes trying to see the figure.

"I think that is," Rangiku said, also squinting her eyes. They walked closer to Hitsugaya's door and what they saw shocked them very much.

Hitsugaya and Hinamori were making out, rather passionately for that matter. Rangiku, Ichigo and Rukia's jaws dropped. If their jaws weren't connected to their faces, they would be on the floor right about now.

Rangiku smiled after a long moment, 'Go taichou!'

Ichigo just covered his eyes in modesty, 'This is going to haunt me.'

While Rukia just stood there, mouth and mind both lost for words.

After the initial shock the trio left the couple alone.

As Ichigo, Rangiku, and Rukia walked out of the 10th division quarters, Ichigo just couldn't help but smirk. He won the bet, which meant Rukia had to become his servant for a whole month. This was going to be fun.

"I win the bet Rukia," Ichigo said smirking, "You know what that means."

"Shuddup!" Rukia screamed folding her arms over her chest, but inside she was really thinking, 'It's not that bad, I might actually enjoy it.'
