Hissori woke up the next morning and found her school uniform already waiting for her in the closet. 'Could this get any worse?' Hissori groaned in her thoughts as she put the uniform of Karakura High School on, what idiot in their right mind would believe she was a high school student anyways? After brushing her hair Hissori tied her it up in pigtails, using red ribbons, and made her way to the front room.

"Sori-chan you look so cute" Rangiku said leaping towards her and wrapping her up in a hug. 'It is way too early to be dealing with this' Hissori thought as she remained silent and just allowing Rangiku to have her way. When Rangiku finally released Hissori from her hug Hissori saw Renji with a plate of pancakes.

"Your favorite right?" he asked holding the plate out to her.

"How did you know?" Hissori muttered taking the plate and placing it in front of her as she took a seat at the table.

"I pay attention to things" Renji replied drinking some of his tea.

"Well…thank you" Hissori said and started to eat her pancakes. Toshiro and her barely exchanged even a glance and Hissori assumed it was because they were both still pretty embarrassed about what happened the night before. She made it about ¾ of the way and then Rukia and Ichigo showed up to get everyone.

"Alright is everyone ready?" Rukia asked as she saw them all sitting around. Hissori quickly ran to brush her teeth and then returned with her backpack in hand.

"Let's get this over with" she grumbled walking out the door.

"That's the spirit Sori-chan!" Rangiku called after her and Hissori sighed heavily wondering what the rest of the day would have in store for her.

To Hissoris' great dismay she was put in a different class from everyone else but in relief, after speaking far more then she was comfortable with, she was given a seat in the back of the class. Most of the time Hissori was either looking out the window or doodling in her notebook, whilst trying to figure out why she and Renji were attending school when their mission was to monitor hallow activity. When lunch finally arrived one of the boys in Hissoris' class came up to talk to her.

"So how are you liking the school so far?" he asked with an edge of flirtation in his voice. 'I don't need this right now, why can't he just go away' Hissori thought while remaining silent.

"Ah so you're the silent type heh" the boy continued "Well I'm Kisane Rykidou, nice to meet you Hissori." Hissori was taken aback at how casually Kisane used her name.

"Like wise" Hissori replied as Rangiku walked into her classroom.

"Aw look at my little Sori-chan talking with a boy" she teased as she made her way over to Hissori.

"Rangiku do you ever shut up?" Hissori nearly growled.

"I wish she did" a voice from beside the doorway said causing Hissori to turn and be met with teal eyes once more.

"Hitsugaya" Hissori said with an undertone of bashfulness

"Ichigo said to meet on the roof" Toshiro said pushing from the wall and leaving the classroom, obviously displeased with something.

"Well I'll see you after lunch Hissori" Kisane said as he walked back over to his group of friends.

"Yeah" she answered as she and Rangiku left the classroom and started down the hallway. For some reason Hissori couldn't get the look in Toshiros' eyes out of her head and decided to talk to Rangiku about it.

"Hey Rangiku?" Hissori said watching the ground as she walked.

"Yeah Sori-chan?" Rangiku replied glancing down at her.

"Do you know if…theres something bothering Hitsugaya-taichou?" Hissori asked keeping her gaze on the ground.

"Not that I know of" Rangiku answered putting a finger to her chin as she thought "He did seem pretty flustered last night though." A light pink blush colored Hissoris' face as the memory was brought back up.

"Oh, okay then" she replied simply and quietly.

"Why Sori-chan are you worried about him or something?" Rangiku asked.

"Worried about who?" interrupted someone just as Hissori walked into that someone and fell down on the hallway floor.

"Don't worry about it Captain" Rangiku said with a nervous edge "Well I should be getting to the roof." And before anyone could protest she was already half way down the hallway. Hissori looked up and saw Toshiro staring down at her with a hand reached out.

"Are you alright Hissori?" he asked as she took his hand and he helped her back to her feet.

"Yes thank you Hitsugaya-taichou" Hissori answered and then added "That seems to be a reoccurring phrase between us." The words were out before she knew it floating in the air around them. 'You idiot why would you say something so stupid!' Hissori scolded herself. Either Toshiro hadn't heard what she said or chose not to acknowledge it, both options of which relieving Hissori.

"Look Hissori about last night-"

"Don't worry about it taichou, it was an honest mistake anyone could have-"

"Why don't you wear your hair like that more?" Toshiro questioned not meeting her, now widened, eyes.

"Wh-what?" Hissori stuttered out in shock.

"Never mind" Toshiro said turning around readying to walk away.

"I don't wear my hair down because no one has ever mentioned my hairstyle before so I guess I just think nothing of it" Hissori answered with a shrug that he didn't see "May I ask why captain?"

"Because y-….because it was cute" he snapped and then walked away leaving Hissori stunned in the hallway watching after him.

"So are you going to tell me what Captain and you talked about today at lunch that was so important that you never made it to the roof?" Rangiku pestered as Hissori sat crossed legged on her bed doing what was left of her homework. She kept Rangiku waiting in suspense until she was finally done all her homework.

"No" Hissori answered simply as she put her pencil down and cracked her knuckles "Why don't you go ask him?"

"I tried but he wont tell me!" the older women whined.

"Well then that's that" she said standing up "Now get out, I wanna get out of this uniform."

"Fine" Rangiku said still pouting but left Hissoris' room without a fight. The woman's attempts at gaining information were almost enough to make her laugh, almost. The truth was Hissori would love to talk to Rangiku about what happened that day at lunch but she herself wasn't even sure if what happened was real or not and she just didn't want to take that chance with Rangiku.

"Urgh" Hissori growled in annoyance "I hate this!" She quickly dressed in a knee length plum colored dress and walk out of the room having her heart set on a distraction.

"Where are you going?" Renji and Rangiku asked as Hissori neared the door.

"Out" she quickly replied and slammed the door behind her.
