Unexpected Flame

Hitsugaya walked into the office, expecting a mountain of paperwork on his table, with most of them Matsumoto's. But instead, his desk was clean. When he looked to the left, he saw Hotaru sitting cross-legged on the couch, stacks of documents balanced on her tiny lap. She was scribbling away with a quill pen, her face fixed in a cute expression.

Hotaru noticed Hitsugaya hovering at the doorway. "Ohayo, taichou!" She greeted with her typical radiant smile.

"Ohayo." Hitsugaya returned the greeting and retreated to his desk.

Hotaru finished up everything and flung her pen carelessly on the floor. "I've finished everything! While you and Rangiku-neesan were sleeping I thought I'd do your work to pass the time?"

Instead of sleeping like a normal person? Hitsugaya thought. "That's…um…great. Where's Matsumoto?"

"She went out for a drink with Kira-san and Renji-niisan."

That Matsumoto… Hitsugaya started to grumble.

Hotaru suddenly sprang up from the couch and said, "Ne, taichou? I'm kinda bored. Could we go one on one?"

"One…on one?" Hitsugaya didn't know what to say. Except that maybe this proved his theory about her randomness right. It wouldn't hurt his schedule anyway, so Hitsugaya agreed. Weird girl…

A while later, they were outside in the practice field. Hitsugaya stared blankly ahead with his usual sour expression until Hotaru said, "Don't go easy on me, taichou!"

It's just a practice, Hitsugaya thought. His thoughts were interrupted by Hotaru's soft voice.

"Set ablaze. Hiyousei."

Without warning, there was an explosion and all Hitsugaya could see was fire.

Sorry for the long wait, minna-san! (.) I know this chappie isn't really all that interesting, but I hope it's been keeping you happy! I shall commence with the fight chapter in the next chappie! Ja ne!
