I know what you're all thinking: SHE SAID SHE WOULD UPDATE FASTER, SO WHY DIDN'T SHE?!??!!

Chapter 13 – SURPRISE!!

"Ouch!" Hinamori whispered to herself…making this was a very painful process…only if you're not careful that is. But Hinamori was as careful as she could be, but knowing that the festival was only two days away pressured her too much. 'I only finished the other one yesterday, I barely even started this one and I already screwed up!!!' She shouted in her mind…frustration can cause accidents by the way. No, Hinamori wasn't bleeding everywhere and looking like an emo or something, but she did poke herself a lot and accidentally cut herself three times when using her zanpakuto to cut the fabric nicely. To put it simple: It was hard.

Knowing the fact that she's using fabric; can you guess what she may be making?

Hitsugaya just loved it when his desk was compiled with a couple hundred stacks filled with thousands of paper and ink………not. 'Stupid lazy fuku-taichou, how did she ever become a stupid fuku-taichou anyways?' A short video started playing in his head.

"Congratulations Matsumoto for becoming the new fuku-taichou of the tenth division!" Renji cheered. "Thank you Renji!" She smiled, then chugging down another bottle of sake. "You know…you look really cute when you're nice!" She suddenly said. Renji turned red, either from embarrassment or sake…who knows? "Hey, I'm always nice!"

"Lying isn't nice!"
"HEY!!!"
"You look pretty cute too when you're angry."

Hitsugaya never finished watching the scene playing in his head because the door swung opened. There standing in the doorway was Hinamori…dressed in a kimono? Yes, it's the Sakura Festival today if you were wondering. Hinamori was panting and sweating, but it wasn't from running or anything of the sort, it was from blushing too hard. "Hi—Hinamori, wha—what are you doing he—here?" Hitsugaya exclaimed in shock, blushing just as hard. Lucky for him, the stacks of paper concealed his face. "You never heard my answer." She whispered determinedly. She didn't stutter because she knew exactly what to say; she thought through things thoroughly. She was holding something behind her back, but who knows what it could be. She bent down and handed Hitsugaya a beautiful, new, navy blue hamka (or whatever those thingies are called.) "This is my answer!" She smiled. Hitsugaya now no longer blushing was shocked at her so called 'answer'. "I'll meet you back in your office when the sun sets. Ja ne! (See you later!)" (I'm not sure how you spell it…)

Someone was carefully watching and listening….

The sun was quickly setting and Hitsugaya didn't know what to do, he'd never gone with a girl (other than Matsumoto) to the Sakura Festival. 'Baka conscience, where are you?!'

'Hey, I'm NO IDIOT!'

'Yes you are. What should I do?'

'Now who's the idiot, hmm?'

'Shut up and tell me what I'm supposed to do!'

'Why should I tell a rude, stupid, idiotic kind like you?'

'Watch it there baka conscience!'

'You know I still have no reason to tell you'

'TELL ME NOW!!!' (Temper much…) Too bad for Hitsugaya though, because the sun had set and now a knock was heard on the door. 'Bye-bye! Oh yeah, and good look little brat!' "Come in." He said in a monotone…but that's not near what he was like in the inside. "Wow Hitsugaya-kun, you look amazing!" Hinamori smiled. Hitsugaya blushed a little, but it wasn't too given anyhow. "How…how many times do I have to tell you, it's Hitsugaya-taichou?!" Hinamori didn't catch his stutter in the beginning and just smiled. "You're not wearing your captain's cloak; I can call you Hitsugaya-kun!" Damn she's good.

Hitsugaya just couldn't imagine how Matsumoto would react when she saw them together…. 'God I hope Matsumoto doesn't get the wrong idea….' He thought. Too bad for him again…it just wasn't his lucky day…. "OOOOOO, you like Hinamori?!?!!?" Matsumoto suddenly jumped out of no where when Hinamori and Hitsugaya both entered the Sakura Festival. "No Matsumoto…you got the----."

"Aww, don't be shy, everyone has a lover here!" Matsumoto teased.

"Then where's yours?" Hitsugaya, being the idiot he is, only just realized what he said. "Oh mine you say? He's right over……..there!" She turned around and pointed into an open space where someone was once standing. "EH, WHERE'D HE GO?!!??!?!?!" And she ran off shouting random names or something. Hitsugaya couldn't feel any worse for what he just said…even to his lazy fuku-taichou. "Hitsugaya-kun…does Rangiku-san still like Ichimaru-taichou?" Hinamori asked quietly. But Hitsugaya just shrugged and pretended he didn't know…though he did. "Oh look Hitsugaya-kun, look at that!" Hinamori pointed to a game where you could see people piling over the pond of fishes, each trying to catch one with their little nets. "Let's try to catch one!" She shouted and quickly grabbed Hitsugaya by the wrist and dragged him along.

Everyone knows how delicate those nets are right? So catching those fishes weren't so easy. "I'll do it this time!" Hinamori said determined…even though it was her fourth try already…. Hinamori was just about to go and spend another couple some yen when…. "Here, Hinamori." Hitsugaya said and passed a white fish in a small plastic bag. "Thank…thank-you Hitsugaya-kun! I'm going to name him Shiro-chan!!" She said happily. For the rest of the night, that's pretty much all they really did…spend money on games and food.

It was nearly the time for the Sakura Festival to come to an end, but why would ANYONE want to end a FESTIVAL like THAT?! So, they topped it off with fireworks!! Where they came from is still a mystery though….

Hitsugaya and Hinamori sat on top of a hill and under a tree to settle and watch the amazing fireworks…well not amazing (but I mean come on, once a year isn't so awesome). All the fires in the lanterns were blown out, all the games and stores were closed, and everyone else was down below with their own lovers to watch the fireworks. Hinamori was lying beside Hitsugaya holding a peach Hitsugaya got for her from another game. Everything was silent and beautiful, the air was filled with anticipation and excitement to see the once in a year scene.

Then…BANG! The sudden sound of fireworks caught Hinamori off guard and she quickly grabbed onto whatever she was closest too…Hitsugaya. And in the process accidentally dropping the peach on the grass in front of her. "Eh…gomen Hitsugaya-kun…." She whispered blushing hard. She continued to sit like that with Hitsugaya and watch the fireworks…but what happened near the end was surprising and not expecting. "Momo…I love you…." 'Is my conscience playing tricks on me, because that's not Hitsugaya-kun beside me!' "W—w—w--w—what?!"

Surprise or not, that was Hitsugaya saying those four special words. It is Hitsugaya right?

Hey everyone, yes this is the end of this chapter and I know it's written oddly and also Hitsugaya was very OOC, but while watching anime at the same time, it gets hard! And well, I'm a horrible writer; does that make you all happy? Anyhow, as bad as this chapter was, I'd appreciate your forgiveness and your criticism. THANK-YOU!!!!!
