Kill me if you want, but I'm finally updating even through all the years that I didn't! Anyways, thanks VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH to KaRiSa, whitehitsugaya, Benihime the Red Princess and almarilyo, oh yeah, and me of course for reviewing and commenting such nice comments! Now onwards to the story!


Chapter 10 – Towards the future!

This time, Hinamori didn't fall asleep on Hitsugaya's shoulder and didn't cry in her sleep OR wet her bed (not that she did when she slept on Hitsugaya's shoulder last time). She had gone to bed in her own division; as Hitsugaya stayed watching the moon. 'It's almost time….' He thought. Killing Aizen was what was on his mind; but he knew that it wasn't going to be easy and as well; he did have Kurosaki Ichigo and everyone else that could take care of any interference with he and Aizen. 'What should I do if Hinamori gets hurt?'

'Well you did swear to protect her, right?'

'Oh great, the stupid conscience has come back.'

'Didn't I already tell you that I'm with you in your head so I can't really go so I can't really come back?'

'Whatever; now what do you want.'

'I just told you; didn't you swear to protect her, so why would anything bad happen?'

'Because the last time I swore to protect her; I failed and she was left in coma.'

'But you've grown stronger; therefore you'll be able to protect her.'

'But that's not what I meant; what if she gets back all her memories and feels to go with Aizen?'

'She has made a stronger connection with you in the time she has awoken; and her senses will block out the warm feelings she has for him.'

'Or if she retrieves them, she will feel that we just have to save Aizen from the evil and she'll be hurt if I or anyone else kills him.'

'Or maybe she might not get back her memories; ever thought about that smart boy?'

'Shut up….' He said and ended the conversation they had. He knew that her memories would probably not come back, the chances of that in percentage was 9.323845 (this is not true, I just pressed random numbers). But still that's a percent; so if they did come back, then the whole plan of killing Aizen would fail.

By the time Hitsugaya decided to go to bed the moon was almost set; maybe leaving 3 hours left of night time. Too bad he couldn't sleep till there was only 1 hour left of night. The question was bugging him for the past 2 hours. But he grew tired and so he finally fell asleep.

Dream:

Blood splattered across his face; blurring the sight in front of him. "N—no…." He managed to whisper as his sight had been cleared to let him face his nightmare. "Looks like you failed again to protect her; but this time she can't come back to you." The man in front of him smirked. Anger started to swell inside him; but the grief was taking its toll as well. No matter his efforts, his knees gave in and his bankai had shattered; giving the glitter of a billion ice shards. "N—no…." He whispered again.

"Hinamori!" He screamed as he awoke to a new dawn. 'Damn it, not another nightmare, what the hell is wrong with me?' He was waiting for an answer from his conscience but it never came, and that he was thankful for.

Quickly getting up and preparing for a new day, he decided to go for a walk to clear his mind. He had a feeling that today wasn't going to be a good day, 'Hinamori must've had a better day than me already.'


Hinamori was lying in bed when she reached her division; but she couldn't sleep for the past 2 hours. 'Don't worry yourself, Hitsugaya-kun promised!'

'Yes he did.'

'Oh no, not the conscience.'

'Yes; it is I, the almighty conscience here to give you advice. You should be honoured!'

'Too bad I'm not….'

'Well you should be. Anyhow, you worry yourself too much.'

'When did you start to notice…. By the way, if your conscience, you probably don't know about my past…do you?'

'Oh yeah, I know all about it ever since you were born!'

'THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHAT MY PAST WAS LIKE?!?!?!?!?!??!'

'Well…you see…I gotta go, sleep well!'

'Stupid conscience….'

'I heard that! Anyways, time to go!' The conscience imaginarily waved and ran away to some place in Hinamori's mind. So Hinamori pushed all her worries into the back of her mind (where the conscience is now residing) and fell into a deep sleep.

Dream:

The ice wings had shattered and the shards had cut her in several places as they flew across the room. There was a moment of pause for her to absorb the scene in front of her. "NOOOO!!!!!!!!" She screamed as her mind cleared. The laughter of her nightmare had echoed through the empty room. "What's wrong; you're the one that caused it." He asked, smirking. She fell to the floor clutching her heart, crying her eyes out. "No…no…no…NO!" She kept on screaming.

'Why…why did I stop him?!' She kept on asking herself. 'If I didn't stop him for that moment; he wouldn't be dead now. I'm such an idiot, why…why you idiot!'

'Because you received your memories back, and you pulled him back to get him to stop killing Aizen. That's when Aizen took the chance to stab him through the heart but Hitsugaya pushed you away before you could get stabbed.'

"COME BACK HITSUGAYA TAICHOU!" She shouted into the glittering room; for the shards had reflected off the light that had gone through the windows. "He won't come back to you dear, you killed him." Aizen said.

"NOOO!" She shouted, waking with a start as dawn had broke through the night sky. 'Oh, it was just a nightmare…' She sighed, that was probably her worst nightmare that she could remember; not that she really remembered very much.

She quickly got ready for the day and then decided to go and visit Hitsugaya again; but this time she would bring him a gift. 'Well, he does really like watermelons, so I guess I'll go and get him a watermelon…they should be growing somewhere….'


Hitsugaya was just walking around the place, having nothing in particular in his mind. (By the way, there are many people around the place he's walking.) Then he suddenly saw Hinamori running up to him; with something in her hands. "HITSUGAYA-KUN!" She shouted. After reaching him, he realized that she was holding a watermelon; that looked really juicy. "This is f---." She didn't get to finish when she tripped over her foot and the watermelon went flying…. PLOP! Everyone looked to where the sound had come from. "Eh…sorry Hitsugaya-kun…." Hinamori mumbled. Thewatermelon, which did turn out to be very juicy, was on top of Hitsugaya's head, dripping down his face and onto his clothing. "Hinamori…." He said dangerously.

"Eh…it's juicy, right? Heheh…" She asked nervously. Everyone who saw the sight tried to contain their laughter, but their giggles left their mouth and Hitsugaya glared at every single one of them. Too bad his glare wasn't as effective since his face was in watermelon juice and as well as the fact that people couldn't really see it. "Eh, what's happening?" Matsumoto asked as she came around the corner. "Oh wow taichou, I didn't know you eat watermelons like that!" She said, laughing at the end. "Oh boy, I gotta tell everyone about this!"

"Matsumoto, it was my fault." Hinamori whispered; but Matsumoto didn't hear.

"Matsumoto………………YOU WILL BE DOING ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THE REST OF THIS MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled.

"Ah, I just realized, I have something to do!" Matsumoto lied and ran off. Hitsugaya was right, today really wasn't his day. Hitsugaya especially didn't like today since he was nervous; he promised himself that he was going to confess something today.


HEYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I updated so late, I have hay fever, so I had to pause like every 10 seconds to blow my nose or do something; so updating wasn't very easy. But I made it longer, if that makes you people happier. Thanks again for bearing with me; I hope you really enjoyed this chapter!
