Following day in school, Matsuri let's out a large sigh. Hitsugaya Toushiro was taken, by none other than Kurosaki Karin too. The news had spread quickly once Iawsaka heard it she told everyone.
I can't believe it, and he was so cute too!.
"What's gotten you so bummed out?"a voice said, she looks up to see TK.
"Nothing "she said. He rolls his eyes.
"Ok fine, how can Hitsugaya Toushiro-sama be dating that Kurosaki Karin of all people?"Matsuri said.
"I don't know, I just go with the flow when it comes to couples, speaking of couples..."TK said. She follows his gaze and found Yuripe coming in with Hinata.
"Humph, they look cosy"Matsuri said.
"Think something's up between them?, I saw them at the music store yesterday"TK said.
"There just friends "a voice from behind them said. We both turn around to find Yuzu.
"Yuzu?"Matsuri said.
Tk just shrugged and walked to his seat beside the window.
"Yuzu!"Yuripe said going over to us.
"Toushiro said he couldn't make it to school today because ..."she paused as she saw me.
"Erm because he's sick and the same goes for Hinamori-San as well"Yuripe said quickly.
She called him Toushiro?.....
"Explain, why do we need to take a day of school?" Momo asked, as they walked towards the park.
"Because I want to investigate that bankai..."Toushiro trailed of, as he stared in o my eyes.
"Unless you know who's bankai it was?"Toushiro said.
"--no, but we should protect the school. That is our mission after all, plus your girl friend is there too"Momo said.
"Ok, if you want to go back so badly then we will come back at lunch"Toushiro said.
Momo didn't say anything.
Tobiume you got rid of all the tracks right?
-Every single one of them
Good.
I wonder, I wonder... What's going on? Lately is it just me or Yuzu and Yuripe have been closer lately. Come to think of it, we never hang out in the mall or after school.
No way, could they be ditching me? It can't be true right..., but since Hitsugaya transferred. Her eyes widened, since he transferred huh?
We use to hang out all the time, but since he transferred. Something happened, they don't talk to me as much and when I do talk to them. They just shrug there shoulders.
The bell rings for 1st lesson, they dash of together with Hinata. I will find out what's going on.
Lunch arrives, sooner than expected. Me and Yuripe made our way to our spot on the roof top.
Unlike the other kids in this school, we preferred to bring a bento and eat on the rooftop.
Once we got there, we were surprised to see Matsuri there.
"Uh Matsuri-San, why are you here?"Yuzu said.
She rolled her eyes, "Can't I sit with my friends anymore?".
"um. Yeah it's ok, right Yuri?"Yuzu said.
"Whatever"Yuripe said, sitting down on the bench.
Just then the doors burst open and in came a very pissed of looking Momo, followed by a apologetic Toushiro.
"I thought you said we wouldn't have to practice"Momo said.
"I did, but it's not my fault he changed his mind"Toushiro said.
"Hi Momo-chan, Toushiro-kun"Yuzu said.
"I see you guys are back, you ..."Yuripe paused, remembering Matsuri was there. "--took care of it right?".
Toushiro and Momo nodded, Yuzu hated the awkwardness in the air.
"That's Hinamori Momo, from my sisters class. Um Toushiro-kun's child hood friend"Yuzu said.
Matsuri was glad she could finally be part of the conversation, she stop's eating.
"So Hinamori-chan, your very close friends with Hitsugaya Toushiro-sama right?"Matsuri questioned.
"I guess you could say that, and wait a second -sama?"Momo repeated, Matsuri nodded and she burst out laughing.
"Why is that a problem?"Matsuri said.
"No, it's just odd"Momo said.
She frowned even more, this girl was annoying her already.
"Everyone calls him that in his fan club Mo, so it shouldn't be new"Yuripe said.
"But still, I never thought Shiro-chan would approve---"she placed a hand to her mouth.
Shoot I said "Shiro-chan".
"Shiro-chan?.... Who.. Don't tell me your talking about Hitsugaya-sama"Matsuri said.
Momo nodded, this girl. She's close to him to huh?...
Just then Karin came in and gave Toushiro a big hug, causing Momo to back away. Yuripe to glare the other way. Hinata.. Well just being hinata.
Matsuri decided it was best to leave at this point, and threw her buyed lunch on the bin.
"I have to go now, but call me when you get a chance Yuri, Yu"Matsuri said, walking of.
I know a little now, yet there's something that doesn't feel right here
That Matsuri, she really wants to know huh? Yuripe takes a bite out of her sandwich, just as she was about to say something she felt a sudden reiatsu. Toushiro sensed it as well.
"I'll go"Yuripe said, and she flew down. Just as she landed someone saw her.
"Yuripe"a voice from behind her said, she turns around to only be faced by none other than her rival.
"Tenshi"Yuripe said.
"I see now, you were the strange creature. I should of known"Tenshi said.
She's not so smart. If I say it isn't me she will keep looking, I have to protect Momo's secret.
"Your right as always aren't you"Yuripe said.
"Guard skill: Sword of light"Tenshi said, as a sword appears in front of her.
"Are you challenging me?"Yuripe said, Tenshi didn't answer as she charged towards me.
"Humph, I guess she is then. I see what a foolish mistake"Yuripe said, drawing out her sword.
Otoshi, this... massive wave of energy. Hachiba? and..... Yuri? He glances over and see's Hinata running. Where is he going?
Dam it, Yuri. What on earth were you thinking? you can't fight Hachiba now. Not when were in school in fact you shouldn't even be fighting her.
After awhile, both of us were exhausted. Just when she was about to charge towards me. Someone stepped in front of me, and took the hit.
My eyes widened, "Hinata!"
"Your a fool Yuri"Hinata said, Yuri catches him and see's the blood stain on his clothing.
She felt tears stream down her face. "HINATA!".
Tenshi begins to walk away.
"You...I'll kill you one day I'll kill you"Yuripe said.
"I would like to see you try and I would return to seretei. You don't belong here, see how many people you caused pain? Also... even he doesn't want you"Tenshi said, and with that she left.
Yuripe closed her eyes.
"Bakuda no 33 Blue flame canon"Yuripe said, sending a large wave of blue energy at the tree's direction.
Out came Otoshi.
"I knew it"Yuripe said.
"Yuri this isn't..I'm just.."Otoshi stammered.
"Scared of me right? Scared of us the dead. But you don't know do you, shinigami aren't imortal they can die too"Yuripe said.
"YURI!"two voice shouted.
Yuri turns to see Toushiro and Yuzu.
"Da ja bou?"Toushiro asked.
Yuri nodded then pointed at Hinata.
"Don't worry, I'll ask my friend"Toushiro said.
"Yuri..."Otoshi said.
"bakuda 75:Iron pillars"a voice said, Yuri turns to see Momo and Karin. Momo had pined Otoshi on the ground with a kidou.
But he broke through it.
"YURI, Hitsugaya taicho, Yuzu-chen, take Hinata back to the house. I already called Ichigo he's coming with Inoue"Momo informed them.
"Are you sure your going to be ok?"Yuri asked.
"Yes, this isn't anything. He's a human, but I'll make sure he can't remember"Momo said.
"Arigatou"Yuri said, as her, Toushiro and Yuzu flash stepped of.
Leaving Karin and Momo with Otoshi on the ground, he stands up just barely.
Momo raised her eye brow "Don't tell me your still willing to fight?".
"N..o I'm not. Yuri was right, that's why she got mad at me because I was too weak and frightened. Gues I really am a loser then"Otoshi said.
This guy... He.. Karin takes her stance, about to charge towards him but she stopped her in her tracks.
"Hinamori what are you doing? If we don't beat him down a little we won't be able to erase his memories"Karin said, annoyed.
"No wait a second.."Momo said, something's not right. This guy has a ton of reiatsu he should be a shigami, yet he still too afraid.
"Stand up, don't cry"Momo said, he stands up and Momo walks over to him.
"Hinamori, what are you doing!"Karin exclaimed.
She placed a hand on his chest.
"You can hear a voice can't you?"Momo said.
He nodded.
"Otoshi-kun, you should become a shinigami. You have the reiatsu, you just need to stop being scared"Momo said, she stands up and walks over to Karin.
"Were leaving"Momo said, flash stepping of.
"H--ey wait"Karin said, rushing after me.
They didn't know that someone was watching them, Yuri.... Yuri.. Is one of those strange beings they've been searching for in the newspapers?
Hinamori, my crush Hitsugaya...., both Kurosaki's. They were all dead?.... Oh my gosh. It makes perfect sense to me now.
I think it's best I still follow them.
