Hissori eventually had to pull away from Toshiro and stand to stretch. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow and then stood as well, looking deep into her violet eyes.

"We should probably go to bed, we do have school in the morning" Hissori said with a little laugh making Toshiro smile slightly.

"That's a beautiful sound" he murmured as he closed his eyes in content; Hissori stayed silent but blushed a light pink "But you're right we should head to bed." Hissori smiled glad that he agreed with her but when she turned to walk away her pulled her back and into his arms. Without her realizing it Toshiro removed her hair ties and watched as her long white locks fell into place.

"Toshiro!" Hissori shrieked in shock "What did you do that for?!" Toshiro waited before answering her as he just looked at her with a smirk on his face.

"I like your hair like this" he answered her and watched as she blushed a light pink again.

"W-well you could have just asked me to let it down, you did have to just take my ribbons!"

"Alright fine" he said and held out the two red ribbons with their bells "You can have them back." Hissori smiled and took the ribbons and bells from him but as she went to pull her hand away she found herself once again trapped in his tight embrace.

Hissori crawled into bed with more wuestions in her head then she had woke up with. A heavy sigh escaped her as she wondered where this left things between her and Toshiro.

"So you told him heh" Aohinote said appearing next to her.

"Ao…I'm so confused….I love him and he loves me but I don't know where everything between us is" Hissori said in a trained tone. Aohinote noticed that changes that were occurring with his mistress, she was happy now more alive and he knew that Toshiro Hitsugaya was to vredit for this occurrence.

"Well Sori….I think you just need to be patient and see where things take you" he told her.

"Your right….I'll…just…let things…g-" Hissori managed to say before she fell asleep with a smile on her face. Ao smiled as well this was the first time he had seen his mistress with so much emotion inside her, he was happy that come to understand, or at least acknowledge, the feelings with in her.

"You have come a great way Sori" Aohinote whispered before returning into his zanpakuto.

When the sun was gently peeking in through her window Hissori was already half way dressed for school. She decided while brushing her hair that she would leave it down and simply tie her bells around her neck then smirked to herself as she recalled Toshiro words regarding her hair.

"By Ao, I'll see you after school!" she called behind her as she shut the door and headed down the hallway. A door to her left opened up and Toshiro exited his room nearly knocking into her.

"Sorry Sori" Toshiro exclaimed as he caught her before she fell.

"It's alright Toshiro" Hissori answered with a smile and got one in return.

"Good morning" Toshiro said a little belated but his tone was calmer now and…happy?

"Good morning Toshiro" she answered giving him a hug which he happily returned "Time fore breakfast." Hissori released her hold on Toshiro and once again started off down the hallway on her way to get something to eat.

"SORI!" Rangiku cheered as she glomped Hissori and began to smother her in her cleavage as always, eventually Rangiku figured out that she couldn't breathe and released her suffocating hold. "Your hair is down, did you lose your ribbons?"

"No, I just thought I'd try it this way for a change" Hissori replied as she saw a plate of pancakes waiting for her on the table.

"Well I like it" Rangiku said watching as Hissori tok her spot where the pancakes were at and then as Toshiro moved from his seat to sit next to Hissori.

"As do I" Toshiro commented as he took a sip of tea. Hissori smiled as she ate and then drank her orange juice and waited until it was time to go to school.

As usual Hissori remained ahead of the crowd and Toshiro didn't even give Rangiku a chance to be next to her, but out the corner of her eye Hissori saw the don't-think-your-getting-off-that-easy look that Rangiku shot at her. Just as always they remained silent and merely continued on their way to school. Hissori was finding it hard to believe that it was just a normal day, that nothing was going on…or at least that was until someone nearly ran into her, despite Toshiro pulling her out of the way, and when she looked up at him her eyes widened in utter and complete astonishment.

"Urusai" she whispered in total disbelief and uncertainty.
