Toshiro Hitsugaya.
"I can recall, 16 years ago, he stole the Fireflake."
Momo blinked. "The Fireflake?"
The bearded man nodded."Yes. It is a snowflake but was created out of fire. The Fireflake is very powerful. You can burn almost anything with it."
Momo put the pieces together. "So, he burned..."
"The North Pole."
16 years ago, Jack frost or Toshiro Hitsugaya, had stolen the fire flake.

The white-haired Shiro, walked around the factory, making sure everything in place and in order. he saw a gingerette sleeping with many sake bottles surrounding her on the floor.
"Rangiku wake up!" He shouted at her. She was awoken by the raging voice of Toshiro and got up.
"Huh?" She blinked and then smiled. "Oh hey, Good morning Hitsugaya~" She slurred.
Toshiro sighed. "It's afternoon." He looked at the bottles that were spreaded on the tile floor. "Clean this mess up, and you're off-limits from drinking sake in the factory."
"Aww why?" She whined.
"Because this happens." He pointed at the conveyor belt that was behind her, which was conveyed with unfinished children toys.
"I'll do them later~."
Toshiro growled knowing that she wouldn't do the task and stopped the machine.
"Rangiku."
"...Huh?" She looked at him with squinted eyes.
"You have an hour and a half to put together all parts of the toys. When I come back, you better be finished with this, or else you won't be able to ever to taste a single drop of sake in your life ever again." He threatened.
Her eyes widened and she immediately went straight to her previous task. Toshiro looked satisfied and walked toward the exit. Once he went outside, he was greeted by his two best friend, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Renji Abarai, they both had along an angry Nanao.
Ichigo smiled and gave him a pat on the back. "What's up?"
"Haven't seen you in a long time pal!" Renji grinned.
"What did you two did now?"
Nanao answered Toshiro's question. "They both tried to sneak out of the factory while on duty."
"Oh really?" Toshiro turned his head to both the carrot and pineapple. "Idiots" He said.
"We're not idiots!" They both shouted in unison.
"Whatever." Toshiro continued to walk.
"Aren't you going to help us?" Ichigo whined.
"Mmm..." Toshiro looked up for a second and then turned back to Ichigo and Renji. "No."
"I thought we we're the best friends!" They whined.
"Oh shut up and start walking, unless you both want another extra hour added to your task." Nanao said.
"Y-Yes Ma'am!"

Toshiro continued his journey home, as he was walking an object had hit him right on the head and bounced off. He fell down to the ground with an 'ow' and raised his right hand to rub off the pain on his head. He looked at the object that hit him on the head and saw that it was a book. About the size of a dictionary. He picked it up.
'It's heavy' He thought. He read the words that were entitled on the hard cover. It read 'History of the Fireflake'. His eyes widened.
'The Fireflake?' He thought in astonishment. He quickly got up and ran to his house, shutting the door behind him. He stared at the book being held in his hands. 'History of the Fireflake' He read the title again.
'The Fireflake.. it's powerful. Almost powerful as my Iceflake'
That's right, Toshiro Hitsugaya, was known as Jack Frost, not just because of his white hair, but his power also.
'This flake.. can wipe out an entire land, probably worse. And take the lives of many.' He stared at the book with intense. He bit his lower lip and placed his thumb and finger on the corner of the cover. He slowly opened the cover of the book.
'Here's goes nothing.'

Christmas Eve.
It was break time. Everyone sat in the cafeteria, eating their lunches and talking happily with their friends.
"Guess what guys? Tomorrow is Christmas!" The bubbly Rangiku said to her friends.
Ikkaku gave Rangiku a goofy-looking smile "We know!" He mocked. Rangiku stuck her tounge at him.
"For Christmas, I want the latest chappy!" Rukia said with sparkles in her eyes.
'A chappy?' Hearing this, Ichigo got up. "I'm.. gonna go check on something." He lied.
Renji saw what he was trying to do, he also got up from his seat. "Me too."
They both stared at each other and you could she a shock forming between them. Ichigo gave him a scowl while Renji frowned. Ichigo dashed out of the cafeteria right away.
"Wait up you bastard!" Renji followed behind Ichigo.
"Hold up, I wanna go to!" Ikkaku yelled out.
Ichigo and Renji both turned to Ikkaku. "You stay out of this!"
Shuhei came in the cafeteria, and walked to where Rangiku and the others were sitting. "So, what's up?"
"Oh nothing, Ichigo and Renji are fighting over to get a chappy as a present for Rukia." She whispered to him.
"I can't believe they didn't think of this sooner." Shuhei shrugged.
"They're complete idiots, I'll tell you that." Yumichika commented.
Ikkaku began to chuckle. The strawberry and pineapple looked at their friend strangely.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"
The bald man couldn't hold his laughter any longer and released it. He pointed above Ichigo and Renji's head. They both looked up.
"M-Mistletoe!" Ikkaku laughed.
Rangiku laughed along as well. "Kiss!" She chanted. Everyone in the cafeteria began to chant along with her. "Kiss! kiss! kiss!" They chanted.
"Are you serious?" Renji asked.
"It's tradition. If you two don't kiss, there will be punishment for both of you" Nanao replied.
"Well, thanks for telling us." Ichigo said sarcastically.
The chanting continued as Ichio and Renji stared at each other. Sweat began to form on their heads, as they both leaned in. "No!" They both shouted.
Then came in an angry Soifon, slamming the cafeteria doors open, squashing both Ichigo and Renji onto the wall with her womanly strength.
"Have any of you seen Hitsugaya? There is a meeting and he is needed there now." She said in an angered tone.
Orihime shook her head, as well as the others who replied with a 'no'.
Soifon turned to Rangiku. She flinched at Soifon's glare. "Have you seen Hitsugaya?"
"W-well, no." Rangiku hesitated. "But that's.. oddly strange. I didn't see him all day today. And I know he'll never late for a meeting."
"He's probably busy or something." Rukia said.
"How could he be busy at a time like this!" Soifon yelled at her.
Rukia backed away. "Hey, now don't go releasing all of your anger at me."
Soifon gave out an annoyed sigh. "Sorry." She walked out of the cafeteria.
"What the hell is wrong with that women?" Shuhei asked.
Ichigo recovered from Soifon's act on him and Renji. "I swear, when ever I see her she's always on her period or some shit."
Rangiku stood up and walked over to the doors."I'm gonna go look for Hitsugaya." She said worriedly and walked out as her friends stared at her with curiosity.
"I wonder what's going on." Orihime asked. Everyone shrugged their shoulders.
Rangiku went outside and began the search for the white-haired boy. She walked over to an area that was mostly surrounded by trees. She stopped in her tracks.
"Isn't this.. where Hitsugaya's lives? Where's his house?" She asked herself. She was positively sure that this was the area where Hitsugaya resided. But there was nothing in sight in front of her.
'Something is definitely wrong.' She thought. She turned and ran back.
Rangiku was now at the shopping center of the North Pole. Where most of the people of the North Pole would hang out. She saw a beautifully designed dress that caught her attention.
"It's gorgeous!" She awed at the dress. Then she shook her head sideways. "No, I need to focus and look for Hitsugaya!"
There was a loudspeaker located in the middle of the shopping center.
"Greetings everyone! This is Head master Yamamoto. As you all know, we will be having the nine hundred and eighty-fourth annual tree lighting ceremony at twelve o'clock, midnight, which will be Christmas! Please attend our ceremony to show your gratitude and spirit! That is all." The announcement was over and everyone began to go back to their previous doings.
'I almost forgot! The ceremony!' Rangiku thought. 'I know Hitsugaya will probably show up. He can't miss it!'
•
11:57
The people of the North Pole were standing by the gigantic Christmas tree. Almost everyone came. Of course, no one would want to miss the ceremony. The chattered
"I can't wait for the lighting to begin!" Orihime squealed.
Renji sighed. "We have this every year, it's nothing to be that exited about anyways." He yawned. "I just want this ceremony to be over already so I can go to bed."
"Same here." Ikkaku said lazily.
Head-master Yamamoto slowly walked in front of the gigantic Christmas tree, along with Master Ichibei who brought his Santa sleigh with him.
"Everyone, Silence." Yamamoto commanded.
Everyone followed his order and did what they was told. Yamamoto coughed.
"Since everyone is quite early, I would like to give out a speech before the ceremony begins." He began. "Ever since the North Pole was found and Christmas as well, our ancestors have fought hard to please others and bring happiness and joy to this world. To children, to adults, to everyone. Now today, we continue this event that was passed down to us, to show respect and care. Now, let the nine hundred and eighty-fourth annual tree lighting ceremony begin!"
"I don't think there will be a ceremony."A deep-cold voice said.
Rangiku eyes widened."N-no way.." She turned around and saw Toshiro. He was dressed differently from the others. He had black jeans with a sky blue jacket and brown boots. In his hand he held a staff that was made out of steel and in his other hand was a flake. The Fireflake floating in his right hand."
Not only was Rangiku surprised but everyone else as well.
"Toshiro Hitsugaya, what do you think you're doing?" Yamamoto said angrily.
"I'm going to destroy this ceremony, along with the North Pole, and this stupid holiday you all call Christmas" He said.
Ichibei came up."Why would you do such a thing?" He asked.
"I hate Christmas. I've always had. I hate the joy, the happiness even the stupid laughter. I want to destroy it all now, and you're wasting my time with your ridiculous questions." He oscillated his staff, creating a strong wind, blowing the crowd away.
Rangiku painfully landed on her back, groaning. She weakly got up on her right leg. "T-Toshiro. You don't know what you're d-doing. Stop. Please." She begged.
Toshiro turned his head and met with Rangiku's saddened eyes. He frowned. "No." He walked up to Ichibei and Yamamoto. "Get out of my way or you'll both die."
Ichibei got in position. "Sorry but no"
"What are you going to do with the tree?" Yamamoto questioned.
Toshiro smirked and instead of answering the old man's question, he attacked both of them with ice. They both deflected the attack as Toshiro placed his feet on the staff and the staff flew up toward the gigantic Christmas tree.
"Look, he's on the top of the tree!" Ichibei pointed.
"Toshiro Hitsugaya, I demand that you get down here now!"
"Yeah! Fight us and stop being a coward!" Ichibei commented.
Toshiro looked down. "I'm not being a coward, I'm just simply doing my job, and if I fight both of you now, I'll be only wasting my time with your foolishness and my plan won't work."
Ichibei growled. "Who are you calling foolish?!"
"Ichibei do not let your emotions control you." Yamamoto said.
Toshiro flicked the tree top star from the Christmas tree which fell directly onto Ichibei's head.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Toshiro smirked once again. "Well, Every tree needs a new topper once in a while, right?" He placed the floating Fireflake on top of the tree and green tree began to turn light red with tints of orange like a flame. The color began from the tree top as it made its way to the tree stump. The red vibrant color soon began to color the white snow turning it into red. Soon the snow was melted and the ground was on fire, breaking pieces of the ground apart and creating glaciers which were also melting apart. Everyone began to back away and ran from the scene.
Toshiro smirked. "Adios." He flew away, far from the Pole on his flying staff.
"Everyone, get on your deers and get away from the North Pole!" Ichibei commanded.
"But where the hell are we supposed to go?" Ichigo asked.
"Anywhere! Just go! Before you'll get burned along with the North Pole!" Yamamoto answered.
On that tragic day. The North Pole was burned down. The workshops, the buildings, the houses, everything. Even the presents was burned along with Ichibei 's Santa sleigh before he could reach it. That year. There was no Christmas. Humans never believed in them since then because they failed to bring Christmas.
Momo widened her eyes at the devastating story. "I.. I can't believe he really did that." She said in a low voice.
Ichibei gave out a sigh. "Yeah."
"Well that's good."
At that point, Unohana and Isane came along.
"Master Ichibei, that girl next to you is a human, you must get away from her!" Isane said.
Ichibei laughed. "There's no need to kill this young lady, she has now made our acquaintance and means no harm."
Momo rapidly nodded her head. "He's right."
Unohana sighed. "Fine."
"But I still don't understand the fact why us you hate us humans? Why everyone suddenly went crazy when I came here?"
"Well, we actually thought you were trying to harm us, so my people here attacked back, I'm still sorry for the coincidence." He apologized.
"It's okay." Momo said."I forgave you already."
Ichibei grinned. "Okay with that being said, everyone go back to your recent doings."
Momo turned to the big man. "Hey.. Can I help you defeat that Jack Frost guy?"
Everyone's movements stopped. "What?"
She bit her lip. "I want to help you all!"
Everyone stared at the peach then began to laugh.
"A human helping us?" Ikkaku laughed. "No way!"
Momo got angry."I'm a human! So what? So far, I'm the only human who actually believes in you guys, and basically you're all rejecting my offer, a humans offer to help you guys. Humans hate elves right? Now today, all humans do is just.. they just sing the boring old songs, same gifts, everything is the same. It's always been the same. They seem to have no spirit. " She paused.
'This kinda reminds me of.. myself.' She thought.
"A human like me, could help you guys and change the point of views in humans about the elves. But I see, that you all still have some anger in yourselves." Momo turned around. "Show me how I can back to Japan-"
"Wait!" Rukia said. "Will you really help us?" She asked.
"Yes. Even though I don't really believe in Christmas, I'm willing to help you and gain the human's faith in you guys."
Ichibei walked up to the peach. He smiled. "If you're really willing to help us, then you'll become an elf, just like us!"
Momo put on a bewildered face. "W-what? Are you sure about this?" She asked.
"Yes!"
Happy Thanksgiving or belated Thanksgiving ! Next update will probably be next week. Hopefully. I'm still writing on Ugly Momo so keep still until its update! Bye Bye~
