Hi hi. :) So I felt like working on the pasts of these characters a little, because it's always interesting to see what happens to make them turn out the way they do. I have another bonus chapter that I'll probably post after the next chapter is written. I would like to write a prequel to this story thats pretty much this bonus chapter, the next bonus chapter and hopefully future bonus chapters... but it'll probably be a while until i get around to writing it, because i have another idea for a story i want to write first. it'll follow Momo, Izuru, Renji and Rukia through their days at the Shinigami Academy. What do you think of that? Coming Soon after i finish this story! :D

Junior High School: Bonus Chapter

"Uh, hi. My name is Hinamori Momo. I think I'm in your group." a short girl with a cloth tied over the bun in her hair came up to the two conversing males.

The blonde turned red and quickly turned around, the red-headed grabbed his shoulder to keep him from turning and whispered harshly into his ear, "don't embarrass yourself, baka!"

They both looked at the girl and realized they had already embarrassed themselves. They straightened up, the red-head scratched his head careful not to mess up his ponytail and introduced himself, "I'm Abarai Renji. This is Kira Izuru. Lets get to work."

"Alright class we'll have our AP students here to help you out if you have any problems in a moment, for now read over your labs and get set up." Their sensei announced.

"I'll go get the chemicals!" Momo volunteered and skipped away from the two boys.

"If you keep doing stuff like that she'll never like you." Renji warned.

"Bu-but it's so hard! I get so red when I see her. I don't want her to notice. Why does this have to happen to me!" Izuru whined,

"Help me set up the burner. You need to get over it. How can you ask her out if you keep running away from her every time you see her?!"

"Maybe I don't want to ask her out! Maybe I'll just wait this whole thing out. Wait for it to disappear."

"It's not going to disappear if you keep thinking about it that way. It'll buildup and eat away at your insides. No you plug that in over there!"

Izuru stared at Renji horrified, "Really?!"

"Yes, really! You're doing it wrong!" Renji grabbed the tube away from Izuru and finished setting up by himself, leaving Izuru standing there in pure horror.

"Here we go! Are we all set up?" Momo cheerfully set down the chemicals. The surprised Izuru jumped, tripped and fell backwards; knocking the chemicals from the hands of someone behind him. CRASH! Sizzle. "AGH!" Izuru cried as the burning chemicals and broken glass beakers hit his back.

"KIRA-KUN!" "IZURU!" Momo and Renji cried as they rushed to his side. The other student ran to get their sensei.

"ACK!" Momo and Renji cried when they knelt down next to Kira, searing their knees on the acid ground.

"Kira-kun get up! You need to get off the ground!" Momo and Renji pulled him off the ground holding his shoulders for support. They gritted their teeth as the chemicals burned their hands. "We need to wash this stuff off. Take off your shirt Kira-kun!"

"Wha-what?!"

"Take it off! We need to wash the chemicals off!" Momo shouted at him. Grabbing the bottom of his shirt and lifting it over his head, Izuru blushed and flinched from the pain. Momo grabbed a sponge held it under cold water and held it to his back.

"AHHHGUH!" Izuru cried.

"Wait! shouldn't we take the glass out first?" Renji asked

"No, because then the wounds will be open and the chemicals will get in his blood." Momo answered and started dabbing Izuru screamed in pain. FUCK! It's 10 times worse! SHHHHHHIT!!

"IZURU?!" Renji snatched the sponge from Momo and threw it across the room. "You're hurting him!"

"What else am i supposed to do?!"

"I don't know! But I don't think cold water is going to help at all!"

"He's right." A calm voice came from behind them. A tall brown-haired kid with glasses and a shorter silver-haired kid came up from behind them.

"Ai-Aizen-sempai?! Ichi- Ichimaru-sempai?!" Renji stuttered. Everyone knew who they were. Aizen-sempai and Ichimaru-sempai are the top students in school, the most popular guys in school, the guys all the girls swooned over, the guys everyone wanted to be.

"Move aside, please." Ichimaru-sempai said grabbing Izuru's arm and siting him on a near by stool. Aizen lifted up his hands which held tweezers and a bottle with some kind of cream in it, he handed the bottle to Izuru and bent down with the tweezers.

"I told you to take out the glass first." Renji said.

"I'm not taking out all the glass. Just the little pieces so we don't have to worry about them digging to far into his skin." Aizen said calmly placing the tiny shards on the table next to him, he worked quickly. Once he was done he squeezed the cream onto a new sponge and gently but quickly spread it across Izuru's back. Izuru's teeth were clenched and tears started streaming down his face.

"Don ya worry a bit. Aizen will 'ave ya good as new." Ichimaru grinned.

Renji glanced at Momo who stared at Aizen in awe, her eyes sparkled. Uh-oh.. This could be bad for Izuru..

"There. You should all go to the nurses office. She'll take better care of you." Aizen said tossing the sponge into the sink and handing the bottle of cream to Momo. "Clean yourself up too. You got burned a bit."

"Thank you Aizen-sempai!" Momo exclaimed.

"No problem. Just get to the nurse." Aizen gave her a warm smile.

"Okay!" Momo and Renji each grabbed one of Izuru's arms and started leading him to the nurse.

"Th-thanks guys." Izuru said falling into the bed in the nurses office. The nurse had finished pulling the glass from his back, cleaning the wounds, and bandaging him only a few moments ago. After all the pain and crying Izuru was exhausted. At first he was embarrassed that Momo had seen him cry, but when she offered him her bandaged hand to squeeze everything felt better.

"Are you okay now Izuru?" Renji asked

"Yeah."

"Good. I'm so sorry that happened to you Kira-kun." Momo said sadly.

"It's alright. I'm fine. And I think you can call me Izuru-kun now, after going through all of that I think we should be friends now." Izuru said confidently, he could still feel her hand in his.

"Really? That's great! And you can call me Momo-chan!" She grabbed his hand again and gave it a small squeeze. Izuru's stomach flip-flopped and he gave her a goofy smile.

"You too Abarai-kun! Can I call you Renji-kun?" Momo asked Renji. He saw Izuru's face fall a little.

"Do what you want." Renji waved her off, trying to act cool and stay distant from the conversation.

"Yay! We're all going to be friends no matter what right?!" Momo looked at them, eyes shining with hope. The guys smiled.

"Of course!" Izuru sat up, "Friends forever!"

"Friends forever." Momo echoed quietly, watching Izuru sleep in the chair adjacent the couch she's fallen asleep on. He fell asleep watching me? Momo stood up and placed her blanket over him. For some reason he seems a little more sick then usual. Has he seen a doctor? She smiled when she saw the note on the coffee table, 'Momo-chan, I put the ramen in the fridge. I hope you had a good nap. -Izuru' Thanks Izuru-kun. I'll return the favor. She patted his head and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for the following day.

Toshiro stared straight up at the ceiling. It was covered with posters Rangiku insisted on putting up. She said he needed a normal guys room. Since he wouldn't let her decorate his walls she decorated the ceiling instead. She put up posters of anime and manga he'd never heard off, several band posters of bands he never listened to, and several pictures of his friends that she'd taken when they all went to the beach several years ago, she almost put up a picture of several girls in revealing clothing, but as soon as he saw it he threw it away. He was now staring at an old picture of him and Momo after everyone had created a giant sandcastle over him while he slept.

"Shiro-chan! Have fun today! I'll see you after later!" Momo shouted as she ran in the opposite direction from his elementary school. She was starting her first day at Karakura Junior High School and she was incredibly excited.

"Whatever, I don't care Bed-Wetter Momo!" He shouted back at her, several people turned to look at said bed wetter. Momo blushed furiously as she ran away to her new school. She hadn't realized she'd made Toshiro very jealous that she was leaving him for junior high school.

"Toshiro-kun! Don't you think that was harsh?" Momo's Obaa-chan asked him.

"No." He said coldly.

She let out a tired sigh. "Well have a good day a school. Stop by at our house after school. You're parents are coming home late again."

"They're always late." He glared at the ground. Always.

"Once they get those promotions they shouldn't be late all the time."

"Yeah. Yeah. I don't care. Bye." He started to walk away, but Obaa-chan had caught him in a warm hug. He gave her a small smile and walked to class.

2 Years Later

Toshiro sprinted down the street. He was late. When he entered junior high that year his parents decided he was too old for a baby sitter. Momo and Obaa-chan checked up on him anyway, but not like they used to. He still walked to school with Momo, but Obaa-chan had gotten to frail for that. He didn't wake up that morning until she had called to tell him that Momo was sick and staying home that day and to ask him to pick up her homework. Great. I stayed up too late studying again and slept in! Damn it! He arrived several seconds after the teacher had started class and was forced to wait outside until she said he could come in. Damn!

"Hello. I'm here to pick up homework for Hinamori Momo." He stood at the door, an air of arrogance floating around him, he'd had a tough day.

"Oh, you must be Hitsugaya Toshiro-san. I was informed you'd be coming for Hinamori-san's homework. Let me go get that for you." The sensei walked out of the room.

Toshiro scanned the room, several kids started goofing around as soon as their sensei left. He gave them a cold stare, they just ignored him. He noticed two boys whispering to each other and glancing at him. The blonde looked very pale and scared. He gave him another cold glare, the boy jumped a little and quickly went back to his work. A couple feet away from him a girl with long strawberry hair was bent over her desk furiously erasing her work and grunting in frustration. "I DON'T GET THIS!" she grumbled to herself.

Toshiro took two steps toward her and immediately saw what she was frustrated over. A math worksheet. "Here. You need to do this." With out thinking he took her pencil away and scribbled out a formula and solved the equation.

"H-How?" She stared in shock.

"Like this." he solved the next equation.

"Do it again."

"Okay- hey! You should do it yourself!" He snapped.

"Just do one more."

He sighed and solved the next question.

"Oh! Like this right?!" She took the pencil and solved the next equation.

"Yep."

"I get it! Thank you! I'm Masumoto Rangiku." She held out her hand.

"Hitsugaya Toshiro."

"Nice to meet you Hitsugaya-san. What year are you?"

"First."

"FIRST?! BUT YOU JUST SOLVED THAT EQUATION! THAT'S THIRD YEAR MATH!"

"So? I study a lot."

"Wow! You know what?! You should move ahead! Then maybe we could be in the same class!" She gave him a big grin.

"I don't care."

"What?! You don't care that you're being held back?! With your natural talents?! You know what! I'm going to talk to Sensei for you! You'll be in our class in no time! I promise!"

"Whatever." He turned to the door, the sensei had just come back into the class holding a folder with Momo's homework in it.

"Here. Sorry it took so long. Send her our regards." She gave him a smile before turning to the bouncy Rangiku.

"Sensei! This kid is a genius! He just helped me with my math! I think he should be moved up to this class! Seriously! Hitsugaya-kun is amazing!"

"Hey! I didn't say you could call me Hitsugaya-kun!"

"Uh.. You should talk to the principle Masumoto-san. If he's as smart as you say he can give him some placement tests and we can put him in the right place." The sensei told Rangiku.

"Really?! Let's go Hitsugaya-san!" Rangiku grabbed his wrist and ran to the principle's office as fast as she could.

When the results got back Toshiro was actually placed a year ahead of Momo and Rangiku. As a celebration Rangiku took him and several other classmates to the beach.

"Okay everyone! Ready!"

"Yes!"

"Okay!" Rangiku clicked the button on the camera and ran to the group lined up in front of it. She ran to her place behind Toshiro, knocking him forward with that glorious chest of hers just as the camera flashed. Leaving a fairly hilarious photo.

So that was it. I have another bonus chapter ready and coming soon! Once again after I write chapter 6. I'll try to hurry up with it, since I'm really trying to finis as much as i can before school starts. So anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend! :D I've been looking forward to this particular weekend for a while. :) Byes for now!
