Sorry for the long hiatus OTL. There is no such thing as forgiveness for someone like me.

Kubo Tite, the owner of Bleach, is very spectacularly, fabulously amazing.

Enjoy this long chapter!

Ding Dong Ding Dong

"That's all class, you are dismissed."

"Thanks Teach!" shouted Rangiku, running out the room.

"How rude," said Toushiro Hitsugaya quietly as he scoffed at Rangiku.

"Remember class, the homework is due next week no excuses!" His teacher shouted. Toushiro bid his farewell as he bounded out of the classroom door.

"What's the hurry short-stuff?" asked a woman standing way above the tiny white-haired boy.

"Harribel," he growled, "None of your business."

"I think that anything related to your 'lady' should be my business," Harribel smiled, "After all she's in my women's association club."

"What?"

"It's my duty to help my fellow members," Harribel retorted, "I know that you don't have a present ready for her today. Now run along little boy, unless you want to prove to all of us that you're really just a kid."

"Fine then, I will!" screamed Hitsugaya, running to the school gate. Now, Hitsugaya was more determined that ever to buy Momo flowers. The only person standing in his way of the outside world and those flowers is the guard.

"Darn, how do I get rid of this guy?" was Hitsugaya's thought.

"Mister Jidanbo!"

"Oh, Miss Inoue. How are you today?" asked the guard.

"I'm just peachy," Orihime gave a wide grin, "In fact, something great happened today!"

"Really? What is it?" questioned Jidanbo further.

Now was Hitsugaya's chance! The guard was distracted. He ran as swift as the wind and jumped over the fence fluidly. The boy's white hair was blown back and his turquoise eyes glinted with delight. He landed gracefully, and then Hitsugaya went off in search of the nearest flower shop.

"What was that?"

"What was what, Miss Inoue?" Orihime shook her head.

"It's probably nothing, don't worry about it Mister Jidanbo."

The first shop

After what seems like hours of looking around, Hitsugaya finally found just what he was looking for.

"This looks like a suitable shop."

Hitsugaya slowly opened the door of the shop. The bell tied to the top of the door chimed, alerting the stork clerk someone has just entered.

"Why hello there little one!" greeted the woman on the counter as Hitsugaya tensed at the word 'little', "What can I do for you on this fine day?" Hitsugaya quickly responded that he needed to find a Lily of the valley.

"A lily of the valley huh? Interesting…" He then asked whether she had one in this store.

"Heh, I don't know but I don't really think I have that, sorry kid," she answered looking at him earnestly, "Say, aren't you supposed to be at school?"

Suddenly, the door opened and the bell chimed once more. Saved by the bell. Hitsugaya exhaled loudly, he didn't even know he was holding his breath.

"Hey Yoruichi!"

"Kisuke!" Her eyes turned into ones of a cat, she swayed left and then right interested in the object behind the man. The man then took out a bouquet of flowers.

"Aww you shouldn't have, after all I do own a flower shop," she teased. He laughed. Hitsugaya noticed how odd he looked. The straw hat, clogs and striped outfit didn't seem to fit him considering the fact that he probably would look better in a suit.

"This aren't ordinary flowers, they're my new genetically engineered breed," he proudly announced. Her eyes widened and she grinned. Cold sweat ran down Hitsugaya's spine, feeling the ominous aura the flowers gave out. He excused himself and speed out the door. He swore that as the passed the flowers that man brought he saw them flash out razor sharp teeth. What kind of flowers are those!

The second shop

Hitsugaya entered the second flower shop; the store clerk instantly greeted him.

"Hello little boy, my oh my you're cute you know. Of course not as beautiful as me but good enough," the man winked. Hitsugaya wanted to barf. He was used to Yumichika acting like he was the most beautiful man on earth but this? For such a brawny, burly, muscular man to do the same as him was too much. The man wore fake eyelashes and thick makeup fit for a clown. He had black, curly hair flowing to his hips, fluffed perfectly.

"What do you need young man?" he asked, Hitsugaya was still too awed at the horrendous presence in front of him to answer. Truly, he was flabbergasted.

"Speechless in my presence," the store clerk sighed, "That happens a lot, I really am beautiful aren't I? Why, of course I am." Hitsugaya slapped his face and asked whether the shop sold the flower he was searching for.

"A lily of the valley? Such a weird request for a child." Hitsugaya felt his vein throb, the man continued, "I'll see what I can do." The man went to look at his list, once, twice, and thrice. "Sorry, fresh out."

"It's okay then," Hitsugaya mumbled, "Thanks for your time…" Hitsugaya squinted at his nametag, "Charlotte."

"You're welcome," he smiled sweetly, though Hitsugaya thought the didn't look sweet at all, "Come back soon and if you're available call me." Charlotte gave Hitsugaya a name card and blew a kiss as Hitsugaya went out the door. Hitsugaya shuddered, he sure was glad to be out of there.

The third shop

Hitsugaya eyed the shop warily. It seemed normal enough. In fact, it was quite sweet. There were some flowers placed outside on the sill. Hitsugaya came close to the flowers and they smelled absolutely heavenly. These were the real deal all right, not monstrous flowers like the first shop. He looked at his watch, he doesn't have much time left, guess it's now or never.

"I hope third time's the charm," was Hitsugaya's thought. He stepped into the shop.

"Excuse me, may I help you?" came from a soft-spoken lady. She had the appearance of a very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair. Her hair was long and was worn as a large braid in front.

"Yes," Hitsugaya affirmed quickly yet bashfully, "I was wondering if you have a lily of the valley."

"A lily of the valley?" she sounds surprised, Hitsugaya sighed, and he knew she would be. "Don't worry, we just got some yesterday."

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes, they're right over here. Let me show you," she led him to the corner of the room. "Beautiful aren't they?" Hitsugaya bent down to smell the flowers, they were sweetly scented. The stems grow to 15–30 cm tall, with one or two leaves. The flowers are white with a hint of pink, bell-shaped.

"They certainly are," Hitsugaya thought. He unconsciously smiled.

"Let me set them up for you," she said.

"Ah thank you," Hitsugaya whispered.

"Here you are," she said. He then gives her the money for the flowers, "There's only little time left, you better hurry."

"Thank you again."

"Come back soon." She waved.

I just love to make fun of that annoying guy= Charlotte. Baahh he's annoying. I hope this chapter satisfies your appetite. Hitsugaya tribute.

By the way did you know that Momo means peach in Japanese? Hence, peachy.
