Uh oh.

He looked exactly like the captain of the tenth division, but his colors were different. Instead of white hair, he had brown. Instead of teal (or blue green or whatever) he had chocolate. The only physical (besides coloring) thing that set him off of the small Taicho was that he wasn't small. He was at least a half a head over Hinamori in height. What probably disturbed the crowd most; he was smiling, bright, and happy.

The crowd suddenly went quiet. Hinamori turned to her best friend beside her and looked back at the man on stage. She went back and forth between them until the man spoke with what sounded like Shiro-chan's voice. There was a slight bounce to it.

"Hello Soul society and friends!" He paused expecting something, but the crowd silently stared at him. "Wow! Tough crowd, you usually like this? Are you in shock or something?"

Seeing as the crowd was still staring at him and was unusually quiet for a crowd he continued.

"Well I would like to introduce my band! The first person besides me for you to meet is Evelyn! She is our main drummer and likes to be called Eve."

When he introduced her a women walked on stage. She was pretty, with black hair and green eyes. She was wearing a short sleeve black shirt and wearing black jeans. Her hair was up in a ponytail. Strangely, she was a bit shorter then him. More the size of Hinamori, even in bone structure.

She waved and gave a small smile before walking behind what appeared to be a drum kit. It made nine tenths of a circle. The other tenth was taken up by a keyboard. Moving it aside, Evelyn walked into the circle and closed herself off by moving the keyboard back into place. She sat down and raised her drum sticks.

The man nodded and turned back to the crowd. "Our next band member I would love for you to meet is Kei! He is our main bassist and rather talented might I say."

Another man walked out on stage. He was average height, had brown mousse hair, and was wearing a white t-shirt and white jeans. He waved and didn't smile. Ichigo decided to mess with the crowd's silence.

"He's a lot like Chad." His voice quiet to where only his friends could hear.

Rukia nodded her agreement along with Hitsugaya. Hinamori looked at her friends with confusion. Hitsugaya noticed and realized what was confusing her, she never met Chad.

"I'll explain later." His voice softer then usual.

She nodded and turned back to face the stage. The man named Kei picked up a white instrument with four strings. Pulling the strap over his head Kei nodded.

"Next we have our insane lead, female she says, guitarist. Her name is well known- Lin!"

Everyone nodded. They knew just how well she played guitar. In fact she did a concert for the tenth division once. Lin walked on stage, causing Hitsugaya to look at Ichigo, who looked at Rukia, who looked at Renji, who looked at Hinamori, who shrugged.

"How am I supposed to know how she got up there?" Her voice innocent and confused.

Hitsugaya shrugged and turned to see his third seat already with her guitar set up. She was grinning a Chesure cat's grin. Something was up. She walked to the microphone in front of where she was supposed to stand.

"I would like to comment on the crowds' confusion. You see our lead, male, singer is named Haru. Not Toshiro. He is at least a foot taller! Is obviously not my Taicho! Oi, speaking of my Taicho, Taicho make the room a bit colder would ya? Its hot in here." She started messing with her guitar, she felt the room temp drop about five degrees. "Thanks Taicho! Shall we get started my friends?"

The crowd, brought out of its slumber, cheered and started laughing. Even Hitsugaya gave a chuckle.

Lin struck a chord and counted. "Ready? 1…2…3!"

Insert favorite music here.

(Preferably rock music, doesn't have to be… even if it's a rock concert.)

After the show Hinamori dragged Hitsugaya backstage with a sniggering trio following close behind, as to not get separated. The band was already laughing and sharing jokes. No one else was there. Not very surprising, the shingami had left due to deaf ears at the loud music that had been played. Well mostly loud.

Lin noticed her captain and waved.

"Over here guys!"

Hinamori waved and walked, dragging Hitsugaya behind her, over to Lin. She gently squeezed Hitsugaya's hand to signal she was nervous before she let go. The band was looking behind them and laughed abruptly. Lin cracked up and pointed at the commotion the two were unaware of.

Rukia was arguing with Ichigo. She punched him, sending him into the floor with alarming velocity. Then she pulled him up using one hand and sent him down again. He landed on his stomach, where she proceeded to stomp on his back. Wondering where Renji was in all of this Hitsugaya looked about for him.

Finally succeeding, he found Renji standing a few feet back. He was watching Ichigo get his ass kicked with a familiar smirk. Hitsugaya rubbed his temple at the frustrating trio. Lin shook her head before brushing past her captain to take care of Ichigo. Leaving Hinamori and Hitsugaya alone with the band.

Turning around Hitsugaya grunted his welcome. Hinamori took it upon herself to get them introduced.

"My name is Hinamori Momo. This is my friend Hitsugaya Toshiro, he would probably prefer you call him Hitsugaya Taicho; he has a phobia about not being called that. I may be a lieutenant but Hinamori is fine."

Hitsugaya nodded before realizing the insult. "Hey!"

Hinamori merely giggled at his childishness. The singer, Haru, from earlier stepped forward. He bowed low and took Hinamori's hand. Gently lifting it to his lips he kissed it sweetly and looked into her chocolate eyes with his own.

"Enchante (e) mademoiselle. I hope you had a good time?" He straightened up and smiled at her. He really was taller then her.

Hinamori's blush stained cheeks grew to be a more dark shade of red. She barely stammered her answer of "Oui, merci." before she realized the room temperature.

Spinning around she laughed at her Shiro-chan, who was smoldering. For what? She couldn't tell.

"Shiro-chan! You're making the room quite cold."

"Since when did you speak French?" his voice almost sounded hurt.

She blinked and answered carefully. "Ichigo- Kun brought me a French book and I have been studying."

He nodded slowly and came to stand by her. His aura ominous and cold. Extending his hand to Haru, he said his greeting.

"Bonjour, Haru. Je m'appelle Hitsugaya. Ca va?"

Hinamori blinked again and laughed at how well he spoke. Haru blinked for an entirely different reason. Her laugh sounded like bells, or sweet morning birds.

"I'm sorry; I do not know what ca va means." His voice carefully put.

"Of course. Hinamori would you care to explain?" Hitsugaya asked politely.

"It depends on the context. The context you used it in is a question. It means: How are you? Or Are you doing OK?" She tilted her head while she was explaining; trying to think of something Toshiro might want.

"Oh." Haru said sheepishly. He laughed and scratched the back of his head clearly embarrassed. "Well I am doing good, merci."

Hitsugaya withdrew his hands and grunted. The room temperature dropped another five degrees.

"Well, I'm Eve!" The black haired women glided in her direction. "You know Lin. And Haru introduced Kei pretty well."

Hinamori nodded. "It was very nice meeting you guys."

Eve nodded. Kei then spoke. His voice was soft and gentle but average pitch for a guy. Not very low or high.

"If you're captain class shingami…" He paused. "Then can we see your releases? Please? I pretty sure if you showed yours, then Haru could show his. I haven't seen any other beside ours and seeing the same ones over and over gets to you."

Hinamori hesitated. Hitsugaya didn't. His voice had a slight edge to it. "Sure, as long as you don't mind the risk of being frozen or burned to death. I am sure we can arrange it."

Eve and Kei laughed, Haru did not. He smiled and darkness took over his eyes. "Why not now? We can leave the room and go out side to one of the many training grounds."

Hitsugaya smirked. "Okay. We can go to the tenth division. I am it's captain, so there would be best."

"Okay."

Hinamori was wide eyed with alarm. "Shiro-chan, we can't go to yours. Isn't it a training day for your squad? We can go to mine."

Hitsugaya paused. "No, there will be no one there. Matsumoto is most likely slacking off and preparing you a birthday party or drinking. She probably is already drunk."

Hinamori thought about this and decided to ask Tobiume.

What do you think?

You should go to his training grounds! I haven't shown off in a while, it'll be fun. Besides, that guy might have a really cool new friend for me! I have Heineko, who is a Baka neko, and Hyorinmaru, who is the quiet type. You might also find some common ground with him, and make a new friend.

Okay, arigato, Tobiume.

"Okay Shiro-chan, but on one condition."

"What's that?"

"I get to show Tobiume."

"Fine, let's go." He turned and walked away with Hinamori walking behind. "I will be leaving now to get the training grounds ready."

They disappeared around the stage and Haru blinked again. Eve looked at him with a smirk, and if possible, so did Kei.

"You know Hinamori sure is cute." Kei said softly. Haru twitched.

"I agree whole heartedly. Hitsugaya is pretty lucky to have a girl like her." Eve said.

Lin, who had tied Ichigo's arms and legs behind his back, laughed. She studies her work for a second before turning to her band mates. "They're not dating but they should be. Its painfully obvious he likes her."

She made a heart using her hands and tried to contain her laughter.

Haru twitched again. He liked her too. She was funny and cute. She had eyes that said she was the funnest person in the world. It would be over his dead body that the little twerp got even one date with her. She seemed worth it.

If possible, the people who tortured him the most, laughed even harder at his discomfort and fresh crushing. Haru sighed before examining what Lin had done.

The rope was all used up on Ichigo, who had his arms tied to his legs behind his back, with a piece of cloth stuck in his mouth. Rukia was rolling on the floor laughing with Renji.

"Oh yeah? You think its funny when Ichigo gets beat up Renji?" Lin took a step forward.

"No…o…o." He stammered. Quickly getting to his feet and screaming like a little girl before running off. Rukia seemed to laugh harder, Lin joined in rolling in mirthful laughter. Haru laughed as well. If this whole night was worth one thing, it would be a male lieutenant's girl scream. That was priceless.

"Oi, by the way…" Line said catching her breath. "When are you gonna tell Hitsugaya that….

Hitsugaya stood quietly in the center of the tenth division training grounds and waited. Hinamori sat on the side lines and waited. It was funny to see Shiro-chan tense.

"Shiro-chan, Why are you showing off?"

"No reason."

"And You don't do paperwork." She looked to see him crack the ghost of a smile.

"Fine, but promise not to tell anyone?"

"Promise!" She exclaimed before tackling him to the ground and laughing.

"Hey!" His indulgent cry echoed and she laughed again before sitting up. He sat up and sighed, scratching the back of his head. "Okay, I was kinda worried that..."

His blushed tinged his entire face pink. Even the tips of his ears

"That…?" She urged.

He squirmed. "That you might like his zanpacto better then Hyorinmaru, or think it's just better." He hung his head to hide his scarlet blush on his cheeks.

"Any one who knows you knows that you are one of the have the most powerful ice zanpacto a person could have! Hyorinmaru is most likely way stronger then that other one anyway! Tobiume is even laughing at you; to think that his zanpacto could replace yours is ridiculous." She exclaimed, throwing out her hands on the word way for accent. Hitsugaya laughed at her and her childishness.

He became serious again when he saw Lin bouncing toward them. He stood up and dusted himself off. Hinamori did likewise.

"Oi, Matsouki, where's your gang?" Hitsugaya asked.

Lin walked up to him and hit him over the head. Hinamori barley suppressed a giggle.

"It's Lin. L-I-N. You liked to be called by your last name, me by my first. Mess up again and I will melt your ass." Hinamori clamped both hands over her mouth this time. Her friend nodded his head and shrugged.

Turning around Lin waved and jumped up and down, both arms flailing violently above her head. From somewhere nearby came Eve, Kei, and Haru. They walked right up and laughed at Lin. They all soon had a few bumps on there heads. Lin smoldered quietly.

After the scene was over Hinamori gently tapped Hitsugaya on the shoulder to bring him out of space. "You spaced out Shiro-chan."

"Ah, arigato Hinamori. Oi, it Hitsugaya Taicho."

"Whatever, you two people that have never had a date." Lin turned to the two friends who were trying to stammer out words. "You release first."

"Fine, say something like that again and you will find yourself frozen for a month." Hitsugaya said quietly before pulling out Hyorinmaru.

Hinamori motioned to Lin. Lin quickly turned and shunpo'ed to the edge of the training grounds. Hinamori just backed up ten steps. Seeing this Haru flashed stepped out by Lin. Eve jogged over by Hinamori and Kei shunpo'ed away to Lin and Haru. Hitsugaya watched in amusement as his own third seat blatantly said she would be no where near his icy friend.

"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru." His words ice cold. They hung in the air like snow not heavy enough to drift now.

As he said the words, a flow of ice came from the tip of his sword. It formed a dragon, the dragon humans told in stories, with fiery red eyes and icy breath. Its wings flat against it back as it formed circles around its master. The temperature in the air dropped to hover around zero and the air seemed to be frozen. Ice crystals danced and spun around them.

Hinamori watched absently, having seen the majestic sight hundreds of times. Eve shivered and hugged her arms around her. Glancing at Hinamori's calm stature made her shiver even more. Who in the world could stand these frigid temperatures? She should have stayed with Haru and the others. Hinamori giggled.

"Why are you giggling?" She could hardly maintain her voice without her teeth chattering.

"Your reaction is the same as most people. Don't worry, he won't let his cold kill you." She whispered. Eve glared at her in return.

She laughed once more. Hyorinmaru twirled around and around. He launched toward the sky and came back down. Forming a wider ring around Hitsugaya. He settled down on his hind legs. Turning his head, he brought it down to where he was inches away from Hinamori's face. Eve backed away and hovered, unsure whether to leave Hinamori. Hinamori however grinned with childish delight.

Eve backed away a few more steps and took in a deep breath of sharp air. It pierced her lungs and made her gasp for more. The air passed through her body and seemed to freeze her in place. Her heart stopped and her lungs ached. She collapsed onto her knees, still gasping for breath that hurt her. She couldn't move and couldn't think or react. All she could do was sit on her knees and gasp for air to relieve her frozen body.

Hinamori leaned forward and whispered with a great gentleness in the dragon's ear. Immediately the air warmed around Eve and she gasped in a deep breath of warm air. Her body slowly came back to her, she felt as if her body was shedding slabs of ice off. Breathing in more controlled breaths she made it back to her feet.

A laugh approached her ears and she saw it was not Hinamori, who may have been laughing quietly behind the enormous head, but the deep laugh seemed to come from the head itself. A deep kind laugh and a twinkling eye made her think that this dragon was more then he seemed to be.

"You are new. Not often I meet master's friends. It seems you do not quite like the cold."

Eve's mouth dropped open. It spoke in shikai form! She had never even heard Haru's do that! She shivered at the thought. The dragon saw this and the temperature around her rose to a more comfortable position. Turning again to face Hinamori, his voice rumbled from his chest.

"It seems that you are doing okay Hinamori. How's Tobiume?"

"Fine, as usual. I was about to use my shikai, to show Eve and the others."

"Ah, it been awhile, do you mind?"

"Of course not!"

At this the great dragon leaned forward and licked Hinamori, picking her up off the ground for a few seconds before dropping her again. She laughed.

Hitsugaya walked up to Eve. "If you don't mind Hinamori will be showing her shikai now."

Eve nodded rapidly and walked away from the two friends. Then she decided to shunpo'e to get to the edge of the training grounds just a bit faster. Hitsugaya almost laughed. Almost, not quite.

Hinamori turned to him while resting her hand on Hyorinmaru's head. "You were supposed to use your shikai."

"So."

"Fine, but don't blame me when they ask how your shikai talks."

"I will take that chance."

Hyorinmaru laughed, his laugh sounded deep and light. His master was so kawaii. That may have sounded a little weird, but his master was his master. He could say anything he wanted. Then he sensed another person, right before he appeared, Hyorinmaru could tell he was the master of a fire type, this could be interesting.

"Wow!" Haru stood breathless in front of a great dragon. It had eyes of fire but a breath and body of ice. "Is Hinamori next?"

Hinamori beamed. "Yes, but, well… mine is no where near as extravagant as Hyorinmaru."

Haru grinned. "Well, Hinamori-Chan, let's find out! Shall we?"

She giggled. "You might want to step back.

"Okay, I am ready!"

Hinamori slowly drew her sword. Haru took a few steps back, while Hitsugaya didn't move at all. Her red handle peaked Haru curiosity as to what type of sword she had.

"Snap, Tobiume." Her sword sported three prongs, two on one side and one on the other, out of the tip formed a red, fire ball. With a flick of her hand she sent the swirling flames toward the end of the tenth division training grounds. Haru watched in amazement as the side of the training grounds collapsed under the force of the blow. Spooking Eve who flashed stepped over and punched the side of his head.

"What was that for?" He said calmly.

"For not warning us she was a fire person." Eve crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him. "Usually Lin warns us. I thought that elements could sense other elements.

Haru blinked. "What?"

"You heard me! And what are you blinking for? It shouldn't be that surprising."

Hinamori glanced at them, and turned to Hitsugaya. "They fight a lot for a group of friends, don't they?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"I guess?"

"Well, Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji fight a lot. Matsumoto, you and I fight a lot."

"You and I don't fight a lot Shiro-chan!"

"Matsumoto and I fight a lot."

"That is true."

"Ah."

They stood in the middle of the fight, in companionable peace. Hyorinmaru, however, wanted to talk to someone.

"Hinamori-san."

"Huh?" She turned around and her eyes widened. "Oh, sorry, Hyorinmaru-san. Do you need something?"

"I was wondering…" He broke off. How would this sound? He wanted to talk to Tobiume. Wouldn't that sound weird? That he wanted to talk to her companion and not her?

"Maybe you should ask Tobiume? I'm kinda distracted at the moment. I hope you don't mind!" She looked uncomfortable.

"No, I don't mind at all."

"Thanks."

Tobiume, Hyorinmaru wants to talk to you.

Okay, Mmmm. I kinda wanted to see Haru-sans companion.

We'll just have to wait.

Yes, Am I going to come out?

Of course!

Hinamori mumbled something under her breath and a great fire ball came out of her sword to hover at eye level.

"Hello Master!"

"Hello, Tobiume, Hyorinmaru is behind me!"

"Okay."

The fireball bounced and floated out of sight. Haru gapped. "I didn't know we could do that!"

Hinamori burst out laughing. He was clueless as to why. Haru watched as the fireball hovered behind Hinamori's head and appeared to be talking with the majestic ice dragon.

"Wow, can I show my shikai now?"

Hitsugaya eyed him and nodded, Hinamori also nodded. Haru stepped away carefully from them both and drew a sword from underneath his tight clothing. Hinamori tilted her head with curiosity. He then said his release command. Of, which, Tobiume was probably the most disbelieving.

Author...talking...here: So next time I will... probably show off his release. I don't expect people to read an author's note but if you do, I need help with a few things... 1) Your fav music.
