Previously happened in chapter 3:

"Arigatou Hitsugaya-kun. You know, for helping me and lending me your books." Hinamori said happily.

"Yeah, whatever." He said without looking from his book. When he heard, Hinamori walked out of his room he looked at her. He got up to close the door after Hinamori had gone upstairs.

That night in Hinamori's room.

Hinamori set her alarm on 06:00 a.m. and lay on her bed. "I really have to rush or else I have to go to detention again." She turned off the light and began to sleep.

--

Somewhere around two 'o clock someone walked in to her room and shut down the Hinamori's alarm.

--

7:00 AM

Hinamori ran of the stairs. "No I'm going to be late again!" She saw Hitsugaya sitting at the table eating. She quickly rushed to the table to take some sandwiches to school. "Excuse me! I'm in a rush!" Hinamori said when she picked a few sandwiches. Suddenly Hitsugaya grabbed her hand.

"Oi. What's the rush?" He asked. His eyes were closed. (I would say he would have looked super cool there! xD)

Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya and began to pull, but Hitsugaya held on tight. Hinamori gave up and sighed. "I don't have a bike. How am I supposed to go to school? I have to walk to school then…"

Hitsugaya pulled Hinamori down so she would sit down. "Sit down. Take the time and eat something properly." He began to make a cheese sandwich.

"But if I'm not going now, I will have to go to detention again." Hinamori resisted.

Hitsugaya gave her the cheese sandwich. "Don't worry. I'll take care of that. Eat."

Hinamori took the cheese sandwich and began to eat. Hitsugaya got up and he poured out some orange juice. He put it on the table in front of Hinamori. "Drink."

Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya and started to be annoyed. "Shirou-chan…don't be so rude."

"I told you to stop calling me that! In addition, I agree that you drink that. Bed wetter Momo." He narrowed his eyes.

"But I don't like to drink orange juice." Hinamori said.

"Hinamori…Just drink it. Juice in the morning is good for you. You need it. That will make you healthy." He said annoyed.

"So you want to say that I'm not healthy?" Hinamori asked annoyed.

"Well…you look like you need some vitamins…" Hitsugaya said when he look through Hinamori.

"Alright, alright I will drink it." Hinamori said en she drank it. "If I finish breakfast quickly I won't be late for school." She got up when she finished eating and then she wanted to walk away.

"What are you planning to do?" Hitsugaya asked. Hinamori stiffened. "I'm not even finished with my sandwiches." Hitsugaya said.

Hinamori turned around. Her patience was running out. What was he thinking? "Shirou-chan! I don't know what you're up to, but I don't want to be late for school." Hinamori turned to Hitsugaya.

"Hinamori! Not Shirou-chan anymore! Anyway, just wait. I'm for a hundred percent sure, you won't be late for school or else I will go to detention with you." He drank his cup.

"That's the first time Hitsugaya swore. He's probably serious about this." Hinamori sat down and waited till Hitsugaya finished his breakfast. At 07:30, he got up. "Let's go."

--

They were standing at the bike now. Hinamori examined the shelter. "Hm? Shirou-chan? I thought you had another bike."

"No, I don't. I just said I would take care of something to help you to school. Well..." He went to sit on his bike and he cycled out of the shelter. "So, are you coming or not?" He asked.

"What do you want me to do? I don't see anything…" Hinamori said dense.

Hitsugaya rolled with his eyes and sighed. "Hop on." He made a gesture at the back of his bike.

Hinamori understood what Hitsugaya was saying. "You can't be serious. Ah well…It's not that I have a choice or something…" she went to sit behind Hitsugaya. (You know girls style.)

------------O-o-o-0-0-0-o-o-O----------------

Hitsugaya began to cycle to school. They arrived at school and met Matsumoto, who was sitting at the entrance of the school. "So where are you guys coming from?" Matsumoto smirked.

"Home." Hitsugaya said and he proceeded with walking to the school. Matsumoto got up and walked along with them. "Hinamori-chan, why did you sit behind Hitsugaya while he was cycling?"

Hinamori began to sweat. "Eh…eh…My bike is broken and I bump onto Hitsugaya-kun and he gave me a ride." She said a little hesitating.

"Oh really? That's very sweet of Hitsugaya don't you think?" Matsumoto looked at Hitsugaya, but Hitsugaya didn't respond.

Hinamori smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm very grateful for it." Hitsugaya felt warm inside, once again, Hinamori thanked him. "What's with these feelings? It's probably that I'm not used to people who thanks me." Hitsugaya thought.

"Oh yeah, have you heard, Hinamori-chan?" Matsumoto began.

"What?" Hinamori asked. Hitsugaya held the door open for Hinamori, but he slammed the door when Matsumoto walked by. Matsumoto stopped the door from slamming at her face and proceeded with her story. "There is a tournament coming for sword dancing. Only a few are aloud to compete against the sword master academy of the other side from the country."

"Oh, that's great! You should compete, Rangiku-san." Hinamori said.

"Oh, yeah. I certainly will, but I want you to compete too." Matsumoto said. "The auditions are today after school, but I think you won't make it huh?" she smirked.

"What do you mean, Rangiku-san?" Hinamori asked. They were at the lockers now and Hinamori opened her locker.

"Well, if you are ready with the auditions, no one can bring you home right?" Matsumoto said.

Hinamori froze. "She's right. I mean, my parents won't be coming home for a few weeks and I don't want to let Shirou-chan wait." A locker closed and she looked at the person who closed it. "Hitsugaya-kun? Is your locker next to mine?"

"Unfortunally, yes." He sighed. He grabbed his bag and took a few steps. "Don't worry. Just go to the audition. I will wait." Then he walked away.

"Wait!" Hinamori closed her locker. "Goodbye Rangiku-san I'll see you at the auditions." Matsumoto looked at Hinamori who ran to Hitsugaya and began to smile.

"Wait! Hitsugaya-kun!" She caught up Hitsugaya. "Hitsugaya-kun, arigatou. Why don't you come and look at the auditions?"

"I just don't feel up to it." Hitsugaya began to walk faster. Hinamori began to walk faster too. "But it will be fun." She tried to convince him.

Hitsugaya stopped. "Look. I will wait outside the sports hall, okay?" Hinamori nodded and Hitsugaya walked away.

Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya, who was walking away. Suddenly a voice appeared behind her. "Neh, Hinamori-chan! What were you doing there?" Rukia asked. Hinamori turned around. Inoue was standing with Rukia. "I'm sorry, but what did you say?" Hinamori asked.

Rukia put her hands in at her hips and leaned to Hinamori. "I asked you what you were doing there." She said irritated. Inoue calmed Rukia down a bit. "Come on. It's okay; she probably didn't hear it that's all."

"Ah, gomen nasai. Rukia-san. I was…" Hinamori didn't finish her sentence because the bell rang. They walked together to the next class.

The three girls sat at German class. (Given by Kyouraku Shunsui)

"Neh, Rukia-san, are you going to compete in the auditions?" Hinamori asked.

"Yeah, off course. You are going too, aren't you?" Rukia said. Suddenly Hinamori's face turned gloomy and she looked down. Rukia was surprised. "You're not going? Is that true? You're not going?" Rukia began to speak louder.

"Stttt. Rukia-san, don't speak so loud." Hinamori tried to calm her down. Rukia calmed down and waited until Hinamori would say a thing. Hinamori sighed and began to explain. "I just don't know what to do. I mean…" Hinamori paused. "I…my bike is broken and no one can bring me home…" Rukia stared with big eyes at Hinamori. "Then…who brought you to school?" Rukia asked. Someone interrupted Hinamori.

"Kuchiki-san. It's not like because you are the little sister of Kuchiki-sensei that you can talk how many you want." Shunsui said casually.

"Sumi masen." Rukia apologized sincerely. "It won't happen again."

"It certainly won't Kuchiki-san." Shunsui said serious.

Rukia and Hinamori were quiet until the end of the period. When the bell rang, they went outside. "You shall come with us, whether you like it or not." Rukia said to Hinamori. Hinamori sat on the usual spot: the big block. Matsumoto walked by. "Hey, what are the gloomy faces for?" She asked. "Hinamori-chan can't go to the auditions. At least she is saying that…" Rukia looked at Hinamori, in the hope that she would finish her story. Matsumoto's eyebrow raised a little. "But?" Rukia continued with her story. "But no one can bring her back home, because her bike is broken." Matsumoto looked at Hinamori. There was a short pause, and then Matsumoto chuckled.

Rukia looked at Matsumoto. 'What's so funny around here?"

Matsumoto looked at Rukia. "You still don't know, do you?" She chuckled. "Do you know who brought her to school today?" Hinamori waved with her hands heavily, begging Matsumoto not to speak a word about the ride from Hitsugaya. Matsumoto shut her mouth.

Rukia looked at the two. "What?" she said surprised. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"It's nothing, Rukia-chan." Matsumoto calmed Rukia down and then she turned to Hinamori. "Don't worry about it. Just go to the audition, I mean it's important." She winked. Matsumoto whispered something in Hinamori's ear. "What's you're worrying about? If he doesn't wait for you, you walk to your house alone. It's as simple as that."

Hinamori widened her eyes when she heard Matsumoto. "I guess she's right…" Hinamori smiled to Rukia. "I changed my mind. I'm going to the audition."

Rukia was surprised, but she smiled back soon. "Alright then. Let's do our best." She said.

Inoue came to the girls. "Hi. How are you doing? Hinamori-chan you are going to the audition aren't you?" She asked.

Hinamori nodded. "Yeah I decided to go to the auditions."

Inoue smiled. "That's great. You are very good with sword dancing. It would be a pity if you didn't compete."

Narrator: "This is Inoue Orihime. She's the only one who doesn't do sword fighting or sword dancing. The reason is that she didn't have the talent for the sword plays. She doesn't like swords all that much."

"That isn't really true, Inoue-san. If you look at Rangiku-san and Rukia-san, you can see that they are better than I ever be." Hinamori said shy.

Rukia and Matsumoto woke up. "That's not true! You are very good too!" They yelled in choir. Hitsugaya walked by. "Shut up. You guys are noisy." He said quickly and then he walked away.

Rukia and Matsumoto looked annoyed at Hitsugaya. "What's his problem?" Rukia said annoyed.

Hinamori waved her hand. "It's no big deal. That's just his personality." Hinamori said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Rukia narrowed her eyes. "It looks like someone is keeping a secret from us." She looked at Matsumoto. Matsumoto looked at the other way quickly.

--

Hinamori looked outside during history class, still considering if she would go or not. "What if I will be rejected? Or maybe I'll trip…and besides I would make Shirou-chan wait too long. Wait. Why am I counting on him again?" A voice disturbed her thought.

"Hinamori Momo. Could you tell me why Japan joint forces with Germany in the first place?" Aizen asked.

Hinamori looked around. She didn't pay attention so she was looking for the answer. "Well…Uhm…because the leaders of the countries had the same thoughts?" Hinamori answered hesitating.

Aizen looked at her with the normal nice face and he smiled. "You are somewhere right. But I'm looking for more specific answer, Hinamori-kun, but thanks for the answer." Aizen smiled.

Hinamori could sink into the ground. History was her best subject. How could she make a mistake like this? Then she dozed off again.

--

School was out and Hinamori had only thought about the decision she had to make. She stood by the lockers where she met Nanao, Isane, Matsumoto and Rukia. They all carried their swords with them. They noticed Hinamori.

"Hey Hinamori-chan you are coming too aren't you?" Nanao asked.

Hinamori nodded. "Yes I am, but don't wait for me I'll catch up later." She smiled.

"Well, we'll be taking off then." Matsumoto winked and everyone waved before they left.

Hinamori turned to her locker and sighed. She opened her locker to get her special sword out. "I wouldn't be so insecure if I had practiced yesterday…I mean I just know about the competition…Maybe I shouldn't go." She grabbed al her stuff (her sword, her special dress, her books and her bag) and walked out the school…

A/n: Haaa! Cliffy! Just a question. Should I make my chapters long or short? Please review!
