Déjà vu

.: Chapter 11 :. Hollow / Urahara shop

Hinamori

She saw Ichigo grab a weird looking badge and place it on his heart. Somehow, his bodies separated, leaving a lifeless shell of Ichigo on the floor, and a black-robed Ichigo with a huge ass sword jumping into the air.

And yet…

This extremely strange sight did not surprise her at all.

Ichigo yelled

"Getsuga… TENSHO!"

A huge light blue arc of energy flew straight towards the monster and cut it in half.

The monster then turned to dust and disappeared.

Ichigo went back inside his body and stood up.

"Hollow taken care of"

The girl stared at him.

That was impossible. He defeated the monster by cutting it in half… yet it seemed so believable…

She stared at the carrot top kid.

"What… are you?" she whispered.

"Hmmm?" Ichigo turned to look at the frightened girl trembling behind Hitsugaya. She was clutching Hitsugaya's back in fear.

Hitsugaya was wide-eyed in a total state of shock.

"Crap." muttered Ichigo. He cleared his throat and was about to begin explaining, but Ishida butted in.

"Hitsuagaya-san." He said. "Hinamori-san. If you would like answers to the many questions that are forming around your head, you must come with us to the Urahara store. It is of vital importance that you must learn about these things.

Hitsugaya stared at him and smirked.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?"


Hitsugaya

They walked on, Hinamori still close to Hitsugaya.

He was feeling very protective of this girl. He felt as if he would save her from anything, do anything to see that smile.

That smile brightened his whole world.

That smile broke through the ice, like a ray of sun on a cold, frozen wasteland, clearing the ground for a patch of green to show through the snow.

He would do anything to see that smile.


Hinamori

She clutched his hand. She knew somehow that this boy would keep her safe.

He always did. He always would.

Forever.

She felt reassured, like the first cool breeze of winter after the sweltering hot heat of summer, refreshing her to her core.

The boy uttered a low chuckle.

"Don't get too comfy, hey Momo?"

She blushed and tried to let go of his hand, but he was holding her hand as well.

And so, together, the pair walked hand in hand to the Urahara shop.


"Ano. Konnichiwa, Kurosaki-kun" whispered a shy black-haired girl.

"Huh? You again?" A red head boy said. He stared at them weirdly then began yelling.

"OI! URURU! GET THE BOSS!"

"Hai Jinta-kun!"

A man with a strange green and white hat, sandals and a green robe came out of the door.

"Ichigo. What is it now?"

Ichigo shrugged.

"Oh, nothing much. Just Toushiro and Momo coming back from the dead. Aside from that, nothing at all."

Hitsugaya's vein popped.

"It's Hitsugaya-san to you!"

This statement made Urahara stare at Hitsugaya and Hinamori.

"Well, either the whole of Soul Society made some major mistakes, and someone else is in the business of making gigai, or they've been reincarnated.

"yes, yes, get to the point!" snapped Hitsugaya.

"well, simply, Soul Society should be informed and you two need to begin training."

"Training? For what?" squeaked Hinamori.

"For re-entering the squads." Stated a woman.

She was tall and thin, with a dark complexion. Her long purple hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was wearing baggy sweat pants and a white tank top.

She was leaning against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest.

"But for now, we need to explain the issues of shinigami. Rukia, if you would please assist me with drawings…"


An hour and 53 sheets of A3 art paper later, Yourichi, Urahara and Rukia had helped to explain everything about Soul Society to Hitsugaya and Hinamori.

Drawings of Hollows (chappy form) Shinigami (chappy form) and zanpaktou (normal) were strewn all over the floor.

"So… Soul Society is made up of powerful bunny rabbits?" asked a confused Hinamori.

At this statement, Urahara, Yourichi and Orihime suddenly removed all emotion from their faces, trying hard not to laugh.

Ishida and Hitsugaya looked amazedly at Hinamori, a slight smile playing on their faces, and Ichigo…

Ichigo had burst into large, uncontrollable guffaws of laughter.

Rukia's eyebrows twitched.

"I… chi… GO!!"

A flying leg abruptly stopped Ichigo from laughing so hard.

In fact, it would stop him from moving for quite a while.

As Ichigo lay passed out on the floor, Rukia smugly grinned and asked "Anything to add, Urahara-san?"

"Nup. We'll meet again soon. Hopefully. Buh-bai!"

Hitsugaya grunted and walked out the door, followed by a smirking Rukia, an emotionless Ishida and a smiling, waving Orihime.

Leaving Hinamori behind.

"Ummm…. Urahara-san?" asked Hinamori

"Ooohhh, still here Hinamori-chan?"

"Ano, I wanted to ask… What's with the fan?"

He smiled. "The fan? Cuz I'm Hawt."

A sweatdrop appeared on hinamori's brow.

Then another two appeared after he winked.

"Er… I gotta go now now… Bai!" Hinamori gabbled as she ran out the door…

Into the arms of Toushiro Hitsugaya.

They stared at each other.

"You… waited?" she whispered.

"Of course." He replied. "There is a lot to discuss after all."

"Arigato, Shiro-chan."

The boy grumbled.

"Just wait till I find a nickname for you…"

She giggled.

"C'mon Shiro-chan. Let's go home."

And so, hand in hand, the pair walked out into the sunset.


Hours later…

"Karin…" asked Yuzu worriedly.

"Hmmm?"

"Where is onii-chan? He still isn't back yet…"

Rukia stood nearby and smiled to herself.

"Gomen Yuzu." She thought. "Ichigo is still passed out."


Urahara store

Jinata kicked the body.

"Is he dead?"
