Author's note: Well, here's the next chapter, and thank you to all your great reviews!! I thought no one would like this one, but I got positive results. Well, most of the story will follow the song, but it'll have small twists here and there. Anyway, on with everything else and then the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any of its characters.

Chapter 1: On the First Day of Christmas

"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree…" The small choir droned on.

They were dressed in white rather than their usual shinigami garb, complementing the innocent colors of the snow beneath them. Rarely, it snowed in Seireitei, but when it did, you could be sure that everyone, even the usually stoic Taicho of the 10th division, would be happy.

Momo, of course, was no different. She enjoyed making snowmen and the grin spread across her beautiful face proved this. She continued to work on her latest project of what seemed to be Hitsugaya, yet could definitely be argued to be Zaraki Kenpachi. Her smile remained as she applied the finishing touches on her snowman, or rather, snow-Hitsugaya.

As if planned, Hitsugaya arrived just as she finished. He gave her a questioning smirk, wondering if he was supposed to be flattered or just embarrassed. However, figuring it was Momo, he knew it was a gesture of kindness for him, if not more.

"Momo, I got a surprise for you."

"A surprise?"

"Yea, just follow me." She trudged through the snow quickly for Hitsugaya had already walked off. As they walked, she realized that they were heading toward the 5th division rather than the 10th division.

Momo's curiosity was soon satisfied by the sight of the rather small pear tree, and upon it a partridge. Though confused, she was still touched, if only a little, by Hitsugaya's kind gesture.

"…Thanks, Hitsugaya-kun…a pear tree and a…" Her finger reached her forehead, implying her confusion.

As always, Hitsugaya the wise, had the answer. "A partridge."

"…Ah…I see…well, thanks for the tree and the partridge…I guess." She was hoping for more of a ring or necklace or even a hug, anything to show that they were more than friends, but this only confirmed her theories of them being friends only.

"...I'm sure you're confused right now, but it'll all be cleared up later."

And without another word, the white-haired captain shunpoed off, leaving Momo with but a card with the number 'one' printed on it.

Author's note: So, how'd you guys like it? Good, bad, horrible? Lol. Well, I know it's short, but all the chapters will probably be short like this. I'm trying though, because I have very limited time on the computer. I've got too many things to balance, so it gets a little tough. Anyway, enough with my ramblings, just review please. Btw, I'll be putting something up on Christmas, and also on the 27th. Can anyone guess why? Please review.
