it's 100 sure that I don't own Bleach.

5. Invitations.

The color of the leaves witnessed that autumn had settled for good. A particular hazel eyed vice-captain turned her attention from the trees outside the window back at the paperwork that surrounded her. The girl sighed and remembered the events which were hold some days ago.

FLASHBACK

Ok that's all for today you're dismissed ´´announced the vice-captain of the 1st division, while his voice was drowned from the cheers of Matsumoto and Yachiru.

Hey, guys wait a minute, I have something to tell you´´ shouted Renji from his seat and put out some strange papers.

The Kuchiki family is holding an autumn ball and my captain wanted to tall you that captains and vice-captains are invited too.´´

What Byakushi is holding a ball that's super fun!´´ shouted Yachiru and disappeared in a blink's eye probably heading back to her division.

Oh!? I didn't know that we were counted to the VIP of Soul Society.´´ said Nanao

Well, preparations for the ball aren't being made only by those who held it. I'm afraid I won't have time for any other job.´´ said Matsumoto with a serious face.

END OF FLASHBACK

A ball was a really interesting and exciting thing but Hinamori was facing three problems (only girls worry about balls)

A: She had a lot work to do and with her current pace she wouldn't make it till the day of the ball.

B: She had never been to a ball before.

C: She needed a dress.

Hinamori sighed for millionth time and felt ridiculous for worrying about that.

Dostano Hina-chan?´´ asked a voice near her. She remained calm and turned her gaze to the big-bosomed woman who talked.

When Matsumoto didn't drink with Kira Renji and Hisagi, didn't sleep in the couch of her division or spent her time with Gin she liked to visit Hinamori's office. So the girl had got used to her sudden appearances.

Noting special. I'm just thinking about the ball.´´ she replied

Then it's a real problem… let me guess! You don't have a dress right?´´ she asked.

Yeah.´´

Then I came the right time to invite you to come with the other female vice-captain to the real word, because Soi Fong asked our help to find a proper dress.´´ said happily the older woman.

I'd love to come but I have work to do and I don't know if I can actually go to the ball.´´ she replied.

Matsumoto gave her a look as if she was insane, then graphed her wrist and lead her out of the office and told her.

Don't be silly Hina-chan! Of course you'll go. You can work every time you want.´´

I suppose you're right.´´ said Hinamori who tried to match her pace with that of Matsumoto's. The woman smiled at her and thought.

Just wait a little more taichou. We can't let this chance unexploited.´´

Going shopping with the other vice-captains was really funny but exhausting. After they found the proper clothes for Soi Fong and Hinamori along with all the other appropriate accessories, persuaded Yachiru that she couldn't go to the ball with a gothic-lolita outfit, prevented Matsumoto from buying the whole shop, they were ready to go.

Hitsugaya headed to his office in a very bad mood. Matsumoto had disappeared saying that she had a very important job. Which was a hundred per sent sure related to that stupid ball. He personally hated those events and he wished he could avoid them. But Matsumoto always found a way to make him go.

However, this time there were enough reasons for him to go. He entered his office and found to his surprise Hinamori sitting in the couch, who was usually occupied from his vice-captain. She had some bugs next to her. Matsumoto was there too, pouring some tea in a cup. He ignored Hinamori for the time being and turned to speak to his vice-captain.

So, you have returned from your important jobs.´´

Oh, yes! It was really tiring but I tried to accomplice my duties.´´

Yeah, I can see that from the bags you're carrying.´´

Ok, you caught me. But I suggest you to go do your own shopping soon taichou.

A vein popped in his face and looked at her with dangerously shinning eyes. The last week he had been forced to stay asleep late at night to finish all the paperwork she was supposed to do. He was sick of it.

Matsumoto three months of paperwork.´´ he finally hissed.

Nani? Why taichou?´´ she shouted desperately.

Hinamori watched them arguing for a little and then unconsciously she opened her mouth and told with a slight smile.

You two never change, don't you?´´

Both of them looked back at her with eyes wide from surprise. She suddenly realized what she had said and her chicks turned red. She gathered her bugs and immediately left the office in silence.

Hitsugaya and Matsumoto continued to stare at the door. It was true that Hinamori had seen them arguing like that many times in the past. But was it possible that she could remember it? Even

unconsciously?


Somewhere else.

Ulquiorra-san why is Grimmjaw running after our children?´´

I think it's our children who are running after Grimmjaw dear.´´
