Chapter Sixteen
Moriko woke to a loud banging, the fox lifted its head as well. She furrowed her brow, clutching her zanpactou. She stood up and went for her door, she pulled it open. She looked around, the banging continued. Something huge cracked the wall, Moriko drew her zanpactou. A hollow broke through the wall and went for Moriko. The small fox hopped into the zanpactou making it into a slim katana. Moriko's eyes weren't the normal red, but more maroon. Her hair was the same color. Moriko ran towards it, slicing down it's arm. The arm of the hollow caught on fire from the heat of Moriko's zanpactou. She then sliced it down the middle, the hollow bellowed in pain.
Toushirou ran out of his office to see Moriko putting her Zanpactou away, and stepping back into her room. He chased after her but was too late. He balled his hand up into a fist and light pounded on the door.
"Dammit. I couldn't get her." He said to himself. Moriko pushed her back against the door. She missed him so much. She couldn't sleep without him, she ached for his cool touch against her warm skin. But she knew he didn't love her. Moriko slumped down onto the floor and pressed her fingers against the door. Toushirou stood up and sighed, he strolled down the hall to the infirmary. He stepped into Momo's room, she waved at him. Toushirou tried to smile, he sat down next to her.
"So have you checked on Miroko?" Momo said. Toushirou looked at her and sighed.
"Moriko." He corrected.
"Yeah whatever. Is she fine. She hasn't been bringing me my dinner lately. "
"She's just a bit heart-broken ."
"She must've really loved you then."
"Yeah."
"Well to bad for her." Momo said. Toushirou looked at her baffled.
"You're mine now." Momo said with a smile Toushirou sighed and stood up.
"Where are you going?" She asked him.
"I'm busy today." He lied. Toushirou left the room and fumbled to his office. He sat on his couch, wrapping the blanket Moriko had used around him. He laid his head down and closed his eyes. Rangiku walked in smiling.
"Oh Taicho!" She sang. Rangiku looked around, there was no Moriko. She furrowed her brow.
"Taicho..?Where's Moriko-chan." Toushirou looked up and sighed.
"I apparently broke her heart." He said in a hushed tone.
Rangiku gasped and looked at her Taicho with eyes that spoke, 'You should be ashamed of yourself.'
"Taicho! How could you?! She loved you."
"I know. But I didn't do it on purpose!"
"Then who did?!"
"Momo kissed me and Moriko-chan took it the wrong way...." He whispered. Rangiku looked at him and smiled lightly. She walked over there and slung her arm around his shoulders.
"I know I'm not the Taicho here. But you should really try to talk to her." Rangiku said.
"I tried but she wouldn't open the door!"
"Well then you just wait. She will open the door for you later." Rangiku said. Toushirou nodded and clutched the blanket tighter around his shoulders. Moriko sat against the wall, watching the small fox hop around the room. She sighed and stood up. The fox stopped and looked at her. Moriko fumbled over to her bedding and crashed face first into the clean cotton. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
Love is lost, Love is found.
