The Rumor

By:Hitsuhinax1

Chapter 4: The New Rumor has it...[FINAL]

Hitsugaya laid on the sofa, gloomy and depressed as Matsumoto crying because she is forced to work on paperwork for him. They were back to regular routine work and a normal day at work. Matsumoto sighed as she looked over at the coach and saw a dark cloud over her captain.

There was a knock on the door, Hitsugaya laid there without a reply back. "SNIFF...Enter" Matsumoto said in a sad response as a female shinigami entered "Good morning Taicho and Fukutacho, here are the files as requested." Matsumoto took the files off her hands "thank you, you are dismissed."

As the female shinigami was about to leave, she turned around "Uhm…I do have a question, about the rumors going around…" Matsumoto lifted her head up with a surprised reaction "Rumor?"

She nodded "Yes…That Hitsugaya Taicho's girlfriend... is Hinamori Fukutaicho?" Suddenly Hitsugaya sat up hearing what his subordinate said "repeat that again" he said in a cold tone.

She was scared, regretting what she said "I-I'm sorry! It's just there's been talk that Taicho's girlfriend was Hinamori the whole time!" Hitsugaya sat there quietly as Matsumoto smiled "Oh my god Taicho! Oh..And you may be excused!"

The female shinigami quickly left with the door closed and Matsumoto jumped for joy "TAICHO! MY PLAN WORKED!" Hitsugaya was unmoved and laid back down. Matsumoto walked towards her captain "Taicho! You should be happy!"

"It doesn't matter…she doesn't feel the same about me" he laid back on the sofa, turned facing away from his vice-captain. He felt heartbroken, Hinamori supporting them only meant she never like him in the first place. He closed his eyes hoping the pain would go away.

In the 5th district, Hinamori cleaning her desk when there was a knock on the door. "Ah? Come in!" she said as the door opened and saw one of her subordinates enter. She bowed "Hinamori-fukutaicho, please sign these" as Hinamori looked at the paper and started to sign.

"Um…Hinamori Fukutaicho? Can I asked something?" she said in a quiet voice. Hinamori lifted her head "Of course! What is it?"

"I heard Hitsugaya Taicho has a girlfriend…" she said, Hinamori nodded "That's right, but what about it?" The Shinigami fiddled with her fingers "and that girlfriend is…you, Hinamori-fukutaicho."

Hinamori's eyes widen "There must be some sort of misunderstanding…" Hinamori was taken back and confused how the rumors of his girlfriend was her. "It's true! Everyone in soul society knows, when you two had a date in the village and the raman stand!"

"But.." Hinamori's voice trailed off, she thought about it. The time she spent with Hitsugaya and what's been happening around them. 'Could it be…really me!?' Hinamori quickly signed off the papers and handed the papers back. "Hinamori-fukutaicho? Where you going?" she asked, as Hinamori walked towards the door quickly without a reply back.

Hinamori shumpo quickly towards the 10th division, making her way to the office. She stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door, no answer. She opened the door slowly and saw the desk empty 'no one is here?' as she was about to close the door she heard something on the sofa.

Hinamori entered the room and walked towards the sofa to find Hitsugaya sleeping on the sofa. She gently smiled as she took a seat beside him, she sighed 'Shiro-chan…is it true?' he asked quietly watching him sleep. "Hina…mori…" he said in his sleep as Hinamori eyes widen hearing her name 'Did he call my name!?' watching him still sleeping.

Reaching for his bangs how long they grown. He looked like he was having a sweet dream by his face expression. 'I wonder what you're dreaming about…' Hinamori smiled as she slowly leaned towards him.

Since his mission, she always thought about him and wondering if he thought about her. How much he grown and handsome he was. She couldn't help feel drawn to him. "Shiro-chan…" she said quietly as she felt his soft breath on her lips. She stopped and pulled away 'What am I thinking!?'

She blushed at her actions as she was about to get up, she felt someone grab her hand. Hinamori turned to see Hitsugaya awake "H-Hitsugaya-kun..!" she was shocked as his turquoise eyes looked at her. He pulled her hand towards him close enough for him reach the back of her neck.

"Weren't you going to give me something?" he said as he pulled her towards him. Hinamori's hand on his chest as she gripped tightly on his robes, as she felt his nose against hers. "Hinamori…" he said as he looked into her brown chocolate eyes as they closed their eyes.

Hitsugaya closed the gap between them and kissed her warm lips. He held onto her as if she was going to float away from him, how long he waited to taste her sweet warm lips. Opening his mouth to insert his tongue inside her mouth as her tongue slide with his. As the passionately shared their first kiss together, they felt the world just stopped.

Soon they broke for air and looked into each other's eyes, Hinamori blushed as soon as Hinamori was about to look away Hitsugaya leaned in for another kiss. He couldn't get enough as Hinamori let out a giggle and he smiled as well.

As the sun was setting, Matsumoto arrived in the office, stretching her arms "Taicho, I couldn't find Hinamori anywhere, do you-" Matsumoto stopped as she saw the couple on the sofa taking a nap together in each other's arm.

'OH MY GOD! WAY TO GO TAICHO! This is too good to be true!' Matsumoto almost screamed in happiness but she had a better idea. She watched them smiling as they slept and thought it was too cute. Matsumoto let out a evil giggle as she was about to do something that would stop the rumors…for good.

Next morning, every shinigami had their hands on the latest soul society newspaper. The headlines made most female shinigami crying and some screaming. As Hitsugaya was walking towards his office, few of his subordinates congratulated him with tears. As Hitsugaya was confused why they were congratulating him.

Arriving in the office, Hitsugaya sat on his desk to find a newspaper flipped over. As he reached for the newspaper he flipped it over and turned bright red. He saw a picture of himself and Hinamori cuddling each other on the sofa sleeping together with hearts added. The headline read:

"HOT NEWS! BIG WEDDING SOON?! ICE & FIRE TOGETHER AT LAST!"

As Hitsugaya froze the newspaper and shattered it "MATSUMOTO!" he roared out loud. Matsumoto soon felt a shiver in her spine "EK! What was that?" she shrugged as she counted her paycheck for sending the pictures to the news editors "TIME TO GO SHOPPING! YAHOO!" she cheerfully said.
