II. Rumors

"Hinamori-chan," her captain called. Hinamori Momo reported immediately by her side and saw her captain dressed in a stunning human world dress. "Does it look nice?"

The lieutenant nodded her head vigorously. Her captain had always been the most desired female all in the Seireitei, but the dress would just lure in more of the males in Soul Society the minute she stepped out of her room. "Of course, Taichō! But… is there an occasion?" She asked. Matsumoto Rangiku shook her head. "Then why are you wearing such—" Hinamori was cut short when her captain walked passed her with a smile and through the doors.

Hinamori couldn't help but wonder why her captain would be off in such a hurry and dressed so extravagantly. She was aware of the 5th and 10th division captains' relationship with each other and became concerned for her childhood friend. Positions had nothing to do when your friend's girlfriend might be up to something suspicious. She called him on his mobile phone and he answered only after one ring.

"Hello?" His voice greeted.

"Shiro-chan, is Matsumoto-taichō going to meet with you later?" Hinamori asked quickly.

Hitsugaya Toshiro was annoyed Hinamori would address him with her nickname for him, but brushed it aside. "Matsumoto and I aren't meeting each other later in the evening. Why do you—" The phone hung up before he could even finish his question. He closed his phone and turned to stab the hollow that was approaching before raising an eyebrow and walking into the gate to Soul Society.

When he came back, his lieutenant, Kiyone nearly ran over him. Her voice was loud and her mouth never seemed to stop moving. Finally he covered her mouth with his hand until she had finally calmed down enough. "Matsumoto-taichō was seen holding hands and hugging with Hisagi Shuuhei, Taichō!" Almost immediately, his jaw dropped. His eyes were wide but slowly narrowed down into slits.

Kiyone recoiled at the fury of his reiatsu. "Thanks Kotetsu." The white haired captain muttered before using shunpo to look for his girlfriend.

"Shuuhei, I really don't want to take the risk of Toshiro finding out. Can't we do this somewhere more private?" Matsumoto Rangiku asked.

"We're already out here. Might as well go with it." The purple-haired lieutenant shrugged.

The white-haired captain tore through the streets of the Seireitei. His reiatsu was as sharp as icicles and everyone knew that going close to him would probably cause an iceberg to fall on their head. When he sensed her spiritual presence, he disappeared in an instant to a green field that belonged to the 5th division. "Matsumoto!" He yelled. His strides were long and plants seemed to wilt slightly at the frosty temperatures.

He continued to walk until music reached his ears. His body ran towards it; finally leading him to his love.

Matsumoto was stunned to see him. She was currently doing the waltz, getting taught by her friend, Shuuhei, who happened to know something about human world dances. "Toshiro?" She asked to make sure. The captain scoffed like it was obvious. That made it apparent that he was the jealous type. She wondered what rumors had floated around in a few hours and which one had reached his ears. "What are you doing here?"

Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing in his arms?" He glared at the lieutenant and eventually got him to leave the area.

She had to bite her lips to prevent a smile. "Shuuhei was teaching me how to dance! I wanted to dance with you, Toshi-kun!" He cringed at the nickname and looked away, a blush creeping up his neck. She walked over to him and placed her soft hands against his face. "You thought I was cheating?" She asked.

Hitsugaya shook his head. "I thought you already left me." He muttered. "But why couldn't you ask me?" The woman was in shock that it wasn't obvious. She knew he didn't know how to dance. However, he surprised her. He took her hand and held on with a strong frame, leading her into steps that Shuuhei had yet to teach her. Despite her lack of knowledge, he led her well enough that she had only stepped on his feet twice before the final twirl of the dance and letting go of her hand. "Thank you for the dance, Hime-sama." He whispered into her ear before disappearing into the trees.

"I guess that rumor was true after all. Taichō can dance really well."
