Rukia smirked. "Hitsugaya call's Hinamori his 'Bed wetter Momo'."
Arisho gasped.
Hitsugaya moaned.
"SUCH an UNFLATTERING nickname, Toushi."
He grunted a "whatever." And asked Arisho why she had suddenly decided to dye her hair.
She grinned and flipped her hair.
"I've always wanted to do it. But I received my inspiration from a smiling purple haired man in the surgery today."
Rukia gasped and Ichigo nearly chocked on his 113th cookie.
"A smiling purple-haired man?" asked Rukia.
"Yea. He looked like a fox." Replied Arisho. "Coffe, tea, milk, or Coke?"
"What was his name?"
"Huh? Oh it's not really important, but since you people seem to know him, his name is Ichimaru Gin. Now, I got heaps of coke and fanta if you want."
Arisho turned around to be greeted by 2 blank and 2 shocked faces.
.: Chapter 14 :. Colour is expressive
Rukia
She gasped in shock. Vaguely she noticed Hinamori looking at them and then turning around, staring at something that was not able to be seen.
"What? Was it something I said?" Arisho asked.
"Oh, uh, ummmm it's nothing really, I mean, er… it's just that Ichimaru Gin is…"
Ichigo immediately said "my cousin", when Rukia also said "my sister's ex" at the same time.
Ichigo and Rukia both looked at each other and Rukia quickly said "He's my sister's ex, who is also Ichigo's cousin."
Arisho looked bemused and nodded. "Yea. He had a weird fashion sense. Wonder if he was in some sorta cosplay. Is he a huge anime fan?"
Rukia could only nod. Her mind was whirring with possibilities. She remembered that smile of Ichimaru's. It was an evil, stirring, frightening smile. A feeling began in her stomach that felt like it was a hollow near by, but then it disappeared. She put it down to thinking of Ichimaru.
"Anyway" Arisho continued. "He came in around early morning. In fact, Toushi called me right when he was asking me for some sleeping pills. Anyway, the music room is downstairs, so if you could follow me…"
Arisho led them back to her main hall and then opened a blue door. There were a series of black stairs. She flicked on the light switch which lit up a series of spiralling light globes that focus around a central star. The walls were black with white music notes randomly painted everywhere. To one side was a white grand piano. On the other was a full drum kit in dark purple and clear cymbals (1). Next to the drum kit were guitar stands with a black electric guitar with a cherry blossom design on it, and a light blue acoustic guitar that looked like water flowing.(2) Hanging on the wall straight ahead was a signed poster of Fahrenheit and S.H.E.(3) Underneath the poser was a couch. At the very corner of the room was an enormous bookcase with millions of folders, books and sleeves of papers – music sheets. Next to the bookcase were 3 rainbow music stands, a rainbow beanbag, a yellow violin and a sea green trumpet. (4)
"Hey Arisho-san, when did you get the trumpet and violin?" asked Toushiro.
"Ah, I ordered them a week ago and they came today. I also ordered a pink saxophone, but I don't know when that'll arrive. They said there were delays."
Hinamori smiled. "Sugoi Arisho-san! You are a very musical – and colourful – person…" she trailed off as she saw 2 big black amps and a microphone.
Rukia saw where she was looking and grinned. "Ah yes Momo… I believe you have to sing…"
Hinamori gulped.
Arisho helped Toushiro set up the guitar and leant Ichigo a pair of purple drumsticks with Jack Skellington from the Nightmare before Christmas on it. (5)
"If you dent my kit or break my sticks, it cost me $60 000 to get that imported from America." Arisho said menacingly.
Ichigo looked really freaked out and told her that they were playing a piece without much drums.
"Anyway, I'm leaving now, so bye!" Arisho said cheerfully. She went up the stairs and stopped before she closed the door. "Toushi, I'm ordering pizza, lemme know if your friends wanna stay for dinner. I'll be in the study."
As soon as she closed the door, Rukia grabbed her mobile and called Soul Society.
"Hello? Kuchiki Rukia reporting! Ichimaru Gin has been spotted! Today, around early morning, the woman known as Dr Kashira Arisho came into contact with Ichimaru Gin in the Karakura Town hospital. This is not a joke. He went in and asked the woman Kashira Arishio for sleeping pills. We have no clear idea what his objective is. Kashira Arisho is taking care of the reincarnation of Hitsugaya Toushiro, so that may have been his objective."
Just then a scream was heard from above the hall.
Dr Kashira Arisho was being attacked.
"MONSTER!!!!!!! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
A beeping noise came from Rukia's phone.
She looked up. "Ichigo. It's a hollow. A huge hollow. Apparently it can hide its reiastu."
Ichigo nodded and placed his badge to his chest. Shinigami Ichigo popped out and sprang up the stairs, passing through the floor.
Rukia popped a soul pill and materialized as a shinigami. She told chappy to take care of her body and Ichigo's.
She ran up the stairs.
"What is truly going on? What does Aizen and Ichimaru want?" she wondered.
Hinamori
She began to have that strange feeling she had before when she had seen that monster – hollow – around the time when Kashira had talked about the man named Ichimaru Gin.
His name sounded familiar to her, but she was distracted by the strange feeling of someone – or something – lurking nearby, watching their movements. The nagging feeling got worse every time she turned around. She couldn't help but be worried by the presence of the… being.
She glanced at Hitsugaya. He looked alert as well, so she didn't know if this was a real feeling, or a feeling brought out by paranoia.
She looked up and swore she saw a random, MASSIVE shape move away.
When they went downstairs she felt the thing move with them, as if it were following their movements. They were all together, so she didn't think anything would happen.
After she finished staring at Arisho-sans breath-taking room, she noticed something.
The feeling was gone, but her skin was tingling more than ever.
She squirmed uncomfortably, and then went to tell Ichigo.
"Ichigo…" she started.
Suddenly she heard Arisho-san scream, and she knew the monster was back.
"Arisho-san…" she thought worriedly.
Hitsugaya
He ran over to Ichigo's limp body and picked up the badge.
He had worked out enough. His dreams were his past. He wasn't sure if Momo knew yet, but he vaguely understood.
He used to belong to the world where Black-robed people fight monsters with swords.
And if he tapped himself with the badge, maybe a black-robed figure would pop out as well.
He looked at Momo. Her face was worried, and she looked frightened.
He walked over to her and held her firmly on the shoulders.
"Momo, stay here. You'll probably be safer here… actually no. Come up with me and I'll show you to my room. The fight is in the kitchen."
He looked around and then pushed the badge to his heart.
He vaguely saw himself pushing out of his body, and then all he saw was the wall. He heard a thump behind him and turned around.
His body was lying on the floor.
He saw he was wearing black robes and a white robe on top. He grabbed Momo's hand and ran up the stairs, his sword jolting against him.
And as he did, all his memories came rushing back.
At least, everything except the last few days of his existence as a shinigami.
It might have been because he had transferred into his normal body, he didn't know, but that didn't matter right now. It was probably nothing special.
All that mattered was one thing.
He now knew who he was.
He was Captain Hitsugaya Toushiro, and he is going to protect Vice-captain Hinamori Momo if it was the last thing he would ever do.
He wondered if flash stepping would work when she was in a human body, or if he simply would disappear.
Time to try.
He heard Hyourinmaru whisper in his head "welcome back Toushiro"
He grabbed Momo.
"let's go."
He thought of bedroom, and they disappeared.

Arisho
5 minutes ago
She was walking down the hall when she felt something weird.
A weird feeling… like something was watching her…
She looked up but she could see anything… yet… she knew it was there…
She shrugged and walked down the hall.
Whistling, she pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen. She began tidying up.
Suddenly, she felt something land on her head.
She looked up and saw a monster.
She screamed.
The monster chuckled and said something.
"high levels of reiastu I see… kukukuku… unusual in a normal human being… its gonna be tasty tonight!"
Suddenly she felt a flare of something that reminded me of someone and then the orange haired boy – What was his name? oh yeah Ichigo v– and Rukia were standing in front of me, both wearing strange black robes. Ichigo had a huge, bad-ass sword and was pointing it at the monster.
She didn't know whether to be relieved that someone had come to save her…
Or worried that he had such a huge sword…
And he looked like he knew how to use it…
"Arisho-san, are you ok?" Asked Rukia.
She shook her head distractedly and muttered "yea yea sure."
She looked at the strange monster.
"tehehehehehehehe… a pathetic shinigami like you can't stop me!" laughed the monster.
"Oh yeah?" drawled Ichigo.
He sliced through the monster in 5 seconds.
"well… that was ridiculously easy… almost too easy for a large hollow…" he muttered to himself.
Arisho screamed.
"Carrot-kid watch out!"
Suddenly she felt a flare of power come from nowhere…
A swirl of black cloud came out…
And somewhere a bright blue icy cold surge of power appeared…
She gasped.
She screamed as the monster lunged forward…
And a large grey wolf materialized out of mist and knocked away the monster.
It swiped its paw at the head of the monster.
And the monster disappeared.
Ichigo turned around to stare at the wolf.
"What the fuck?" (6)
The wolf turned around and stared at Ichigo with its amber eyes. It was a fairly large dog, about nose height of Rukia. It had shaggy, misty grey coloured fur. It looked strangely intelligent.
It padded over to Arisho and she stared at it.
She could hear its voice in her head.
"Are you ok now Kashira-sama? Is there anything else you need?"
She stared at it. "Don't call me Kashira-sama, I really hate that." She said.
Ichigo looked at strangely.
"no-one called you Kashira-sama."
She glared at him.
"I wasn't talking to you. And the dog called me Kashira-sama baka."
The wolf growled.
"I'm a wolf Kashira-sama."
"I thought I told you to not call me Kashira-sama!"
"how about Kashira-senpai?"
"NO!"
"Kashira-hime?"
"NO WAY!"
"you give me very limited choice Kashira-sama…"
"Dammit doggie call me Arisho-chan!"
"that is too disrespectful Kashira-sama…"
"…I see that this will be a point to argue on for a while… anyway what's your name doggie?"
"I'm a WOLF Kashira-sama… and you must find out my name… you know deep down…"
He looked into her eyes and she saw something…
A memory…
Flashback – Kashira is 3.
"Arisho! Don't go to far off into the woods!"
"hai okaa-san!"
Arisho skipped into the woods. She decided she liked this forest better than the one near Hokkaido.
She stopped. She saw a little wolf puppy.
"neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? KYA!!!!!!!!! KAWAII!"
She picked up the puppy and hugged it tightly.
"Ah puppy-chan! What's your name?"
It looked at her and said "Kimoru"
"Kimoru?" she said in wonder. "that's cool… OH! I'll call you kiki-chan!"
The puppy rolled its eyes at her.
"Arisho! Where are you! We have to go now!" a voice was yelling.
"Hai otou-san!" she yelled out in reply. "Bai bai doggy!"
She put the puppy on the ground and skipped away. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the puppy fade away. Its amber eyes looked at her and she smiled.
She reached the car to be scooped up by her dad.
"Ah you cheeky girl! You had okaa-san worrying!"
"Nyo! Sorry okaa-san!"
Her mother smiled. "Don't worry I'm ok."
Her father looked at her mother. "Ayako, are you sure, I mean your 2 months pregnant…"
Her mother laughed. "Only two months! Don't worry!"
"Otou-san, how come your family name is Kashira while okaa-san is Hanatarō?"
Her dad smiled. "That's cos okaa-san likes her name more than Kashira."
Arisho grinned. "OK!"
End of flashback.(7)
Arisho went over to the wolf and hugged it.
"Heya Kiki-chan" she said happily.
Ichigo staggered. "KIKI-CHAN! YOU CALL THAT MONSTER ON FOUR LEGS KIKI-CHAN!!?!?!"
Arisho glared. "Shuddup baka or you're gonna disappear like that monster. Kiki-chan is NOT a monster. And his full name is Kimoru."
Suddenly a voice said "But there ARE monsters everywhere in this room."
Hitsugaya
He only had a vague idea what was going on. There was a massive wolf in the middle of the room, with Arisho hugging it, Ichigo had apparently gone bankai and was arguing with Arisho, and he could still sense the reiastu of so many Hollow.
"There are still so many hollow in here… I can feel them…"
Ichigo stared. "Heh… Welcome back Toushiro."
Suddenly a voice laughed. It was a cold, low laugh, and the laugh itself was almost scary. A hollow came out of the shadows.
"Heh. There is more than one of me." Drawled the hollow. "That's what's special about me… unless you kill the original, you're only gonna be attacking multiple duplicates…"
"Damn. This is Ishida's area of expertise." muttered Ichigo. "Where is that damn Quincy when you need him?"
"Actually Ichigo… The original hollow is coming from… my bedroom…" muttered Toushiro.
His eyes widened and he disappeared in a flash.
…
Hinamori
3 minutes ago
She saw Toushiro split into two, just like Ichigo and Rukia did.
"perhaps he's just like that too." She thought.
She saw something return to his eyes. He stood prouder, taller, and somehow… colder and warmer at the same time.
She wondered what it meant. She saw a loose white jacket with the number 10 on it and wondered what it stood for.
He turned around and quickly carried her bridal style.
"Shiro-chan!" she yelped.
"Let's go" he said calmly.
He took a step forward and the ended up in a room she hadn't seen before.
"Sugoi Shiro-chan! Is this your bedroom???"
She looked around and she liked what she saw.
The door was behind her, a warm chestnut brown colour. The room walls were a white, and the double bed was to one side, head to the wall. It was covered in pale blue bed sheets and the bed was neatly made. There were a lot of white fluffy pillows that Hinamori could see Toushiro throwing off the bed before he went to sleep.
Next to the bed was a bedside table with a lamp and a book, lying open pages down so you could see the cover. The cover said "Sports – for fun and fitness." At the end of the bed stood a chest with a lock on it, and on the chest was Toushiro's school bag. His school uniform lay neatly folded next to it. Above the bed was a poster from an old movie from the 80's called "the snowman". Opposite the bed was a desk with a laptop, desk lamp, stationary set and lava lamp. Next to the desk was a shelf with a couple of books. Next to the shelf was a wardrobe.
But the first thing you saw when you walked into the room was the ceiling to floor windows. They let in the sun and you could see the road and the garden very clearly. You could push open the windows and step onto a balcony. The curtains were rippling sheets of blue fabric that looked like water cascading down.
He nodded and closed his door. She turned around and saw a chair and a small crate with soft toys next to a large radio.
"Stay there" he told her. He smiled at her then turned around and disappeared.
She smiled and giggled. Why wouldn't she stay here? She gets to investigate the private life of her Shiro-chan!
She dived towards the soft toy box and dumped it on the floor. Suddenly she heard something land with a loud "THUNK."
"Ne?" she looked at the box but all that came out was soft toys. She shrugged. "ah well."
She squealed "awwww kawaii! Shiro-chan has a chibi-dragon toy! And teddy bears and puppies and cats and more teddy bears…"
Hinamori Momo would be amused for hours…
…
After naming each and every single one of the soft toys and played "happy families" she was suddenly distracted by a low chuckle.
She had that horrible feeling.
The monster was close. Very close. And she didn't like it.
Se didn't know what to do so she continued playing with the soft toys as if nothing happened. However, she watched the reflection in the glass very carefully.
Suddenly she saw an ugly masked face appear out of the shadows. Its face was shaped like a fish, yet it had strange spikes all around its head. The body was black, skinny and skeletal, with several arms and large hands. (cross ryuuk from death note and that ugly worm bankai of that scary clown captain… what's-his-name… MAYURI! Oh and add a few arms in for good measure…)
She spun around and was about to bop the monster on the head with the box where the soft toys were kept when Toushiro appeared out of nowhere and slayed the monster.
"shiro-chan?!?! Ah arigatou! I had no idea what I was going to do…" she started.
Toushiro grabbed her shoulders "Momo are you alright?" he almost yelled.
Momo smiled "yes shiro-chan im ok…"
Toushiro's shoulders slumped. "I put you into a position of danger again by making you stay away…" he whispered.
Momo held her fingers to his lips "shhh… its ok… im ok… we're both ok…" She looked at his green eyes and smiled.
Suddenly they heard the sound of someone screaming "ICHIGO DON'T" and suddenly the shinigami was standing grinning in front of them.
"well aren't cha a cute couple?" he teased.
Momo and Toushiro jumped apart blushing. Suddenly a wolf materialized in thin air. Momo screamed.
Toushiro laughed and told her to relax.
Suddenly the wolf opened its mouth and they could all hear Arisho's calm voice coming through it.
"Kurosaki Ichigo…" she said, pleasantly, yet with an icy, deadly feel. "You really are the biggest idiot in the world… I SENT KIMORU UP TO SPY ON THEM FOR US AND THEY WERE ABOUBT TO KISS AND WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO?????? YOU HAD TO GO UPSTAIRS AND RUIN THE MOMENT! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST IDIOT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!!!!!!"
As Arisho continued to rave at Ichigo through the mouth of Kimoru, Momo asked Toushiro who the giant doggy was, and if it would mind being petted. Hitsugaya could see the stars in her eyes already. He smiled. "It's Arisho-san's dog. His name is Kimoru. He's kinda her special power. I think it should be okay if you pat it but…" Momo rushed off. "you probably should ask Arisho-san first." He finished with a smile.
"KYA!! KAWAII!!!!" She glomped poor Kimoru in a massive hug and practically strangled the poor wolf to death.
Ichigo, Rukia, and Arisho sweat dropped. None of them new that Momo had such a weakness for cute animals. (Ichigo – Kimoru isn't even that cute! Arisho – yes he is!)
Kimoru stared at the girl and directly contacted Arisho. "It is not ok if I retreat is it Kashira-sama?"
"CHAN dammit. And no I wanna see Toushi's reaction"
"damn."
Toushiro stared at Hinamori cooing over the wolf and shook his head smiling. He still didn't remember when he started developing feelings for her, but he remembered when he knew for sure that he liked her.
Flashback
"Shiro-chan!" Momo yelled.
She was in her Shinigami Academy uniform. It was red and white, and she was wearing pigtails. Her cheeks were red from running and she was smiling and waving…
And under one arm carrying some watermelon.
…
A few minutes later they were both sitting on the porch staring at the sunset eating watermelon. Hitsugaya looked sideways at Momo. (still cramming his face, albeit messily now that he wasn't paying attention.) He noticed how pretty she looked, absent-mindedly biting her watermelon, staring at the sunset. She turned towards him and he quickly began looking at the sunset again, feeling his cheeks go slightly pink. "Ne Shiro-chan, you're so messy! You look like a strawberry with white fluff on top!" she teased. He didn't dare say the pink was not the juice of the water melon. Instead, he quickly replied "yea? you got pink stain all over your nice clean white uniform. Whattcha gonna do now?"
Momo eeped and frantically tried to clean it with her hands, only proceeding in making it dirtier. "OH NO!" she wailed. "What's Aizen-sama going to say about this??" Hitsugaya's ears perked and he calmly, curiously turned around to face her. "Who's Aizen-sama?" he asked.
Hinamori visibly perked and began to explain. "Aizen-sama is one of the strongest taichos on the gotei 13! He is so smart, and nice, and calm and, and, and, he is my idol! I wanna be just like Aizen-sama!" Here she drooped a bit. "But I'm never gonna be good enough to be like Aizen-sama. So I'm hoping that when I finish I can go and join his squad and be a ranked officer! He really is the most amazing person I've ever met!"
Hitsugaya's vein popped. "the most amazing huh?"
"Hai, hai! He really is amazing!"
He couldn't ask about himself. So the next choice…
"What about obaa-chan? She's cared for you all these years. Can you say a man you hardly know except by reputation is more amazing than her?"
Hinamori stopped and started thinking. "hmmm…" Obaa-chan doesn't count." She decided.
Hitsugaya looked blankly at her. "huh?"
"Because Obaa-chan is a woman. Therefore, she doesn't count, because Aizen-taicho-sama is a man. You can't compare the two."
"right…"
Hinamori smiled happily. She could still see that Hitsugaya doubted her taicho, so she decided to reassure him.
"Don't worry Shiro-chan. When you go and join the Shinigami academy, you can join taicho's squad too!"
He "hmph"-ed. (you know what I mean) "what makes you so sure that I even want to be a shinigami anyway?"
She smiled and giggled. "Why wouldn't you want too?"
He shook his head. "I don't." But in fact he did. He wanted to go and beat this Aizen-taicho dude and show Hinamori that he was better than him any day.
Hinamori smiled and looked at the sky. "Oh my gosh! I'd better get home now! Bye Shiro-chan! Hurry up and join the academy!" She grinned and ran off.
Hitusgaya looked at her retreating back. When he could no longer see it, he went inside and found his note pad of things to do. First he wrote "shower" then he wrote "get into academy" then he wrote "beat aizen taicho."
Lastly he wrote "Show Momo that I'm the most amazing person she's ever met."
End of flashback
He snapped back into the present when he heard the dog choking.
"Momo I think you'd better let go now… you're killing Arisho-sans wolf…"
Momo looked at the dig and saw its tongue was lolling out and its eyes were two big "X"s.
She eeped and let it go quickly. It dropped on the ground and limped behind Toushiro.
As Kimoru recovered Toushiro glanced up. "We'd better rehearse that song and then go see urahara." He said
And so after two hours of rehearsing (and all three back inside their usual bodies/gigai) they went to see Urahara.
...
(1) omg they were actually selling a kit like this in a music store in Sydney called billy hyde. I wen there and nearly fainted from the awesomeness radiating off it.
(2) my best friend's cousin actually has guitars like these. He had them custom made
(3) I love Fahrenheit and S.H.E! they are sooo good!
(4) If you haven't noticed yet, Arisho loves colour.
(5) My friend actually has sticks like that. She got them from ebay. :D
(6) In case this is what you're thinking too, We already knew that Arisho had some sort of high spirit power yea? Well, have Ichigo go bankai with Hitusgaya coming forth in all his captain-y glory once more at the same time resulted in a huge, sudden level of high reiatsu concentration which caused her to awaken her dormant power.
(7) It's the same forest that Ishida trained in. It's a very spiritual place!
