Chapter 15:
After taking their dinner that Yuzu prepared, Momo and the other Shinigamis decided to went back to where they stay temporarily. Ichigo asked for Chad's and Ishida's help to carry drunken Renji, Ikakku and Yumichika. Momo and Rukia carry Rangiku.
"Well then, we're going now, Ichigo…" Rukia said as she drapes Rangiku's right arm over her shoulders.
"Take care then…" Ichigo said.
"Thank you very much, Kurosaki-kun… See you some time…" Momo smiled.
"Ah.." Ichigo smiled back.
"Oi, teme, put me down!" yelled by the drunken Ikkaku. Ikakku and Renji were being carried by Chad on his shoulders like a sack of rice. Renji was on his left shoulder while Ikkaku was on his right shoulder. Chad ignored his rants and proceeded to walk ahead together with Ishida who was carrying Yumichika. Momo and Rukia together with Rangiku soon followed. As they walked, Ikkaku continued rant on the streets.
"Please be quiet! It's already night time and people are sleeping now!" yelled by an annoyed Rukia with a big anime vein over her head. But Ikkaku paid no heed to what Rukia said and continued to rant on the streets.
Next day, Momo and the others finally went back to Soul Society. As usual, Renji, Ikkaku, Yumichika and Rangiku went back with a hangover. When they finally reached Soul Society, they proceeded on their own divisions to take a rest. At the 10th Division office, a loud and deep sigh can be heard. It was Rangiku who was looking with frustration at the mountain of paperworks that was placed on the table. She soon heard a knock on the door.
"Come in.." Rangiku said lazily. The door opened, revealing the raven haired 5th Division lieutenant. Momo stepped inside and closed the door before turning her attention to her fellow lieutenant.
"Eh? What's wrong, Rangiku-san?" Momo asked when she noticed Rangiku's expression. Rangiku sighed and plumped down to the couch before answering.
"We just got back from our mission… But that old man gave us a ton of paperworks again!" Rangiku said. Momo looked over the mountain of paperworks that was on the table and then resumed her attention to her fellow lieutenant.
"Ano…Maybe because..you're not doing the paperworks and submitting them on time…" Momo said.
"That's not true! I'm doing my paperwork!" Rangiku insisted and then she raised her legs over the couch and gently laid there. When she raised her legs, Momo noticed something under the couch. She looked at it for a few minutes and then she realized what was that.. "Paperworks under the couch..? Now I know why…" Momo thought before resuming her attention to Rangiku.
"I-Is that so…" Momo mumbled. "Why am I surprised? That was just the typical Rangiku-san… Now I know how Shiro-chan feels… I feel sorry for him…" Momo thought as she sighed.
Meanwhile, young Toushiro was peacefully sleeping on Momo's room when he suddenly sneezed, interrupting his peaceful sleep. He lazily sat up on the futon and look around. "Heh. Looks like she leave me alone again… That Bedwetter Momo…" young Toushiro thought. He stood up and left the room, not caring to fix the futon. "She must be gone to Matsumoto again…" He thought and then he proceeded to the 10th Division office. After a long walk, he reached the 10th Division office. He was about opened the door when he heard Rangiku asked Momo.
"So…why are you here for?" Rangiku asked. She looked at Momo and noticed her hesitation and blushing face. Rangiku grinned. "You need some love advice?" She teased. Momo blushed more.
"R-Rangiku-san! Mou…." Momo pouted. "Is this really a good idea to ask her…?" Momo asked herself on her thoughts. Young Toushiro was leaning on the door, eavesdropping. "Just what are they talking about?" young Toushiro thought.
"A-Ano…Umm…" Momo mumbled.
"Come on, tell me… I'm your friend, right?" Rangiku said with a smile.
"Umm… Promise me..y-you won't tell to others…especially to Shiro-chan…" Momo hearing his 'nickname', young Toushiro got more curious and leaned even more to the door.
"I…I-I just want…some help… Because..I want to confess…" Momo hesitated for a moment. "C-Confess? What the hell? To whom she wanted to confess? Whoever that bastard is, I'm going to turn him into ice cubes for good!" young Toushiro told himself angrily on his thoughts. He was sure extremely hurt and jealous about the fact that Momo likes someone else.
"Confess to whom, Hinamori?" Rangiku asked with curiosity.
"I…I wanted to confess…to…Hitsugaya-kun…" Momo finally said it. Rangiku and young Toushiro blinked at the same time. He can't believe what he just heard. Momo wanted to confess to him. Momo likes him. Him. He slapped his forehead with his right palm. "I'm so stupid! Jumping suddenly on my own conclusions! So…Hinamori likes me too…Argh! Damn it! I wanna go back to normal now!—" young Toushiro's thoughts were broken when Rangiku laughed hysterically.
"Hahahahahaha!" Rangiku clutched her stomach as she laughed hysterically. Momo pouted at this and blushed in embarrassment.
"Mou! Rangiku-san! What's so funny?" Momo asked in a loud voice. Rangiku hold back her laughter and looked at Momo.
"D-Don't tell me you're in love with a 1-year old?" Rangiku teased before laughing again. "Damn that Matsumoto..." young Toushiro thought angrily.
"Mou! You know that he wasn't like that originally!" Momo yelled and stood up, turning to leave. Rangiku grabbed her wrists.
"Matte… I'm just kidding! Just kidding! Geez…" Rangiku said. "Come here, sit again…" They both sat at the couch together.
"Mou…" Momo pouted and looked down. Rangiku patted her back.
"Gomen… I was just kidding…" Rangiku apologized. Momo only nodded. Sensing that the conversation was turning serious, young Toushiro leaned further more at the door. He doesn't noticed the shadow behind him, until someone grabbed him by his yukata's collar.
"Yo, Hitsugaya-taichou! Eavesdropping eh? That's bad, you know.. You're becoming into a little sneaky brat…" Renji said. Young Toushiro scowled at what he said. "Damn you, Abarai… I'm going to remember this and I'll make sure you'll pay…" young Toushiro thought angrily. Renji knocked at the door and opened it.
"Yo Matsumoto, Hinamori!" Renji greeted and then he showed young Toushiro that was still being held by Renji.
"S-Sh-Shiro-chan! I-I thought y-you were sleeping at my room!" Momo said nervously. "Just when did— Don't tell me… H-He…He… -" Momo's thoughts were broken when Renji spoke.
"He was eaves— Oww!" before he can finished his sentence, young Toushiro punched Renji's nose making him fall to the floor. He jumped to the floor and ran to Momo. He crawled to her lap and huggled at her. Momo blushed at this. Young Toushiro looked up at her.
"I missed you…" young Toushiro said to her with a cute puppy dog eyes. Momo blushed even more. "W-Wh-What was he saying?" Momo thought. Rangiku stared at the scene with her mouth open like an 'O'. She snapped back to reality and decided to leave the couple. She stood up and ran towards the door.
"So I'm going to leave you two there, okay? See ya later!" Rangiku said and leave not before dragging Renji along with his bloody nose. "Eh? What if she'll tell it to everyone?" Momo took off young Toshiro from her lap and ran towards to the door, hoping that she could still catch up with Rangiku. "Damn that Matsumoto…She didn't do the paperworks again…" young Toushiro thought angrily when he saw the mountain of paperworks on the table, emitting a cold aura. Momo shivered when she suddenly felt a cold aura inside the office. "W-What was that just now?" Momo looked at young Toushiro who was facing his back at her.
"S-Shiro-chan…are you..okay?" Momo asked. Young Toushiro startled at bit and turned to face her with a very sweet childish smile on his face.
"Hai!" young Toushiro replied still wearing that sweet childish smile. Momo felt her heart skipped a beat when she saw how cute he was with that smile. She smiled back at him sweetly. "That cold aura…must be my imagination…"
