Chapter 11 – Hinamori, I…

Hitsugaya left the crowd quickly and quietly (too bad he still got noticed, I mean like come on, pink hair isn't hard to spot) back to his division to clean up. "Hitsugaya-kun…!" Hinamori shouted chasing him.

"You humiliate me in front of people in public and in front of that lazy fuku-taichou Matsumoto yet you still call me Hitsugaya-kun?!?!" He shouted at her.

"I'm…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…it was your present…."

"You mean that getting a watermelon on me is my PRESENT?!"

"No…it's not that but…."
"Look, I just want to be alone right now, you can go away." He said irritated.

"Sorry……."

"I SAID GO AWAY!" He shouted before Hinamori just turned around and ran blindly to somewhere land. He sighed, 'great, just great, now I made Hinamori cry…I better apologize.' But before any apologizing would happen, he was going to get cleaned.

Hinamori's P.O.V.

Hitsugaya's so mean. But he's right, it's my fault and I shouldn't have addressed him as Hitsugaya-kun; I bet he really hates me right now. I can't believe I did that, I feel horrible. Today is such a horrible day, why oh why did I trip; I'm so stupid! Now Hitsugaya's going to be the laughing stalk and it's going to be my entire fault, I'm such a horrible person! Today is putrid, I'm putrid, and THE WHOLE WORLD IS PUTRID! Oh boy, I'm getting my emotions over flow, I'm just going to lie down and rest for a bit.

Matsumoto was humming down the hallways of the 3rd division, thinking of all the ways she would tell Kira about the incident with her taichou. 'Should I just blurt it out or should I make it sound suspenseful, maybe I'll just catch up with news with him first.' But she ran out of time to think of what to do since she had already reached the 3rd division. "Hi Kira-kun!" She shouted when she slammed open the door. "Oh, hello Matsumoto; what brings you here?"

"Oh, me? I'm just wandering around this area and decided to come here to see how you're doing and catching up on news."
"So in other words, you're ditching out on work and making Hitsugaya-taichou does all your work while you come to talk to me?"

"Speaking of which, you didn't hear about the incident with taichou this morning only about around half an hour ago did you?"
"What incident are you talking about?"
"I didn't see all of it, but I heard Hinamori was holding a watermelon and tripped or threw it at taichou and it got all over his hair. Then I came around and saw juice covering his face and his hair absorbed the juice so it was pink!!!" She exclaimed. This time, Kira couldn't keep a still face (not that he could ever time Matsumoto was there), and he bursted out in laughter with tears daring to fall out of his eyes. "Are you serious?!"

"Yes I am! I saw it with my own eyes!" 'Just a minute ago she said she didn't even see all of it….'

"Wow……that's funny."
"I know! Now tell me, what's been happening lately?"

Hitsugaya felt really bad after getting out of the hot springs, he made Hinamori cry and probably made her feel bad just because he lost his temper with her. 'Well, I better confess to her right now, and apologize too!' He thought to himself as he walked out of his division and headed for the 5th division.

Arriving shortly, he couldn't sense her reiatsu so he knew that she must've been in their secret hide out where they use to meet each other. Quickly, he moved to the west of the 5th division to where a peach tree was soon to be spotted.

Upon reaching there, he could hear quiet sobs, so quiet they were barely louder than the wind that whistled in the area. "Hinamori…?" He asked quietly.

"Hitsugaya-taichou…is that you?"

"Hinamori…I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"It's okay Hitsugaya-taichou, it was my fault." She murmured, at the same time Hitsugaya sat down beside her. She looked up at him, or should I say down? "You know, I think it suits you better when you say Hitsugaya-kun." He commented.

"Umm, thanks I guess?"

"Haha…. It's almost winter isn't it?"

"Yes, when you're going to fight Aizen right?"

"Yeah…."

"Can you promise me something else?"

"Hmm, what is it?"

"Can you promise that you won't hold back when fighting Aizen?"

"Yeah, I promise." He muttered. The wind gently carried the scent of the peaches above them across them, making the sweet smell intoxicating. "Hinamori, there's been something I've been needing to tell you." Hitsugaya abruptly spoke up.

"Huh, what?" She replied. 'He's going to confess that he loves you!!!!' Her conscious all of a sudden popped up. 'No he's not!' She said, blushing at what the conscious said. "Why are you blushing?"

"What, I—I'm n—ot blushing!"

"Yes you were."

"Um, so what did you need to tell me?"

"A little sudden maybe, but Hinamori, I-----."

Ding! No, it's not an idea if that's what you're thinking, but Matsumoto's something-interesting-is-happening-with-taichou-and-Hinamori thingy went off. "Sorry Kira, I gotta go!" She waved and dashed out to find the pair.

"A little sudden maybe, but Hinamori, I-----." He was cut off when he sensed Matsumoto's reiatsu all of a sudden pop up. "Continue….?"

"Hold on, there's an interruption… MATSUMOTO, GO BACK TO THE 10TH DIVISION AND DO ALL THE PAPERWORK!" He shouted the end. "Curse, he caught me!" she muttered and just disappeared; she'd force it out of her taichou the next time, he just got lucky…. "Now what were you saying Hitsugaya-kun?"

"Well, Hinamori, I…was hoping you could get me a watermelon." He said.

"WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!" She exclaimed at such a confession.

"Calm down Hinamori, I was joking."

"Oh………"

"Haha, that was funny."

"SHIRO-CHAN!"

"What's this, you first called me Shiro-chan, and then to Hitsugaya-kun and now back to Shiro-chan?"

"Well……uhh……now what were you really going to say?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Really positive?"

"Yes…."

"Completely sure?"

"Yes!"

"Completely, positively sure?"

"YES!"

"Okay then. Hinamori, I…I, would really appreciate it if…you would consider……" He stumbled between his words, unlike him. "Yes, continue please?"

"I would really appreciate it if you considered-----."
