Not Mine Valentine
Wet Dreams

Rangiku continued to work at her paperwork, eventually going and grabbing the papers that were on her small taicho's desk. She noticed the bag of candy and let out a sigh, snatching it off the desk and stashing it with her sake where she hoped he wouldn't be able to find it. She then sat down to finish the work. When she finally finished it was later in the afternoon and she stood up and walked over to the boy.

She shook his shoulder, causing him to startle from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes before sitting up. Toshiro looked to see if there was any paperwork to do, only to shake his head. "Why did you let me sleep for so long. My head hurts now."

"You looked like you needed it." Rangiku pulled him up. "Let's go get ourselves some dinner from the kitchens. "You're hungry, are you not?"

The young shinigami let out a grumpy sound before getting up. The woman's hand reached out to grab his arm, causing him to pause, still half asleep. Her hands reached up to straighten up his hair before giving him a light shove to get going. She then took a deep breath and followed him, watching as the boy walked in front of her.

After getting a couple of treys of food, the two headed back to their quarters and sat down on the wooden porch in order to eat the food. She watched as he ate his food, before going to the center yard to practice his swordsmanship. "You aren't going to go and train in the cave?"

"It's a bit late to go there as it's almost sunset." She watched as the boy continued to work on his steps before turning to look at the ceiling, her body relaxing.

"Matsumoto..."

"Hmm..."

"Are you ever going to get married?"

"You know, that isn't exactly a polite question to ask a woman." Rangiku let out a deep breath.

There was a short period of silence before the boy spoke up. "I mean, you and Ichimaru are eventually going to get married."

"Taicho..." The woman let out a deep sigh. "I'm having to examine our relationship."

"What does that mean?"

"That means..." Rangiku stared at him before shaking her head. "It's not something I can explain to you until you're in a relationship with a girl."

"Well, you don't have to worry about that."

"Uh, huh."

"I told you, I haven't hit puberty, so it is impossible for me to like a girl, which means it is impossible for me to be a pervert."

"Got it." The woman continued to watch until the boy stepped next to her. She looked at him and saw that he was sweating.

"I'm heading to bed. I'll see you in the morning."

"Wait... go take a shower first. You may be able to sleep easier." The woman heard him grumble, but then took a deep breath and headed off. Eventually he came back, the sweat washed off and went into his room, closing the door behind him. Rangiku stayed outside until she felt like going to bed herself, only to find herself startled awake early in the morning.

"Not again." The woman flung the top of her bedding away and hurried into the room next to hers. Again the boy was covering his eyes with his hands. She carefully walked over to the bed and uncovered his eyes. "We need to go talk to Unohana."

"No, please." The words chocked out of the boy's mouth.

"Come on. Sit up so we can get this taken care of."

"I just want to sleep Matsumoto."

"Taicho, I have to change the bedding and you have to change your clothes." Rangiku watched the boy sit up. She then pulled the covers away, pausing as she did so.

"Fine, I'm going to go change in your room. I'm going to sleep on the roof."

The woman let out a sigh, shaking her head, only to find herself freezing as she took a good look at the sheets. She found herself letting the sheets go before heading from her small taicho's room to her own. "Taicho!"

"Matsumoto!"

"I'm not letting you sleep in. We're going to go and see Unohana after you're done changing."

"Matsumoto!"

Rangiku blinked a couple of times, realizing the boy's cheeks were changing to a deep crimson color as he was half dressed in front of her. Carefully she stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her. The boy eventually opened the door. "I'm not going. I don't want anyone to know that I've been wetting the bed."

"You didn't wet the bed."

"I was wet Matsumoto."

"Taicho, you had a wet dream. You're growing up."

"Wetting the bed isn't part of growing up! You're supposed to stop wetting the bed."

"Taicho... oh..." Rangiku grabbed the boy's sleeve and tugged him after her. "We're going. I'm not giving you an option on this."

"Matsumoto!" The boy's cheeks flushed up and he tried heading in the other direction.

"I will carry you over my shoulder if I have to. Don't make me do something both of us don't want to do." Rangiku watched as Toshiro turned to look at her, his teal eyes looking right at her. The boy finally let out a deep sigh and reluctantly followed the woman towards the forth division.

"What about the bedding?"

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it after we get back. This is more important." The woman glanced back in time to see the boy flinch. "Really... this is more important."

They arrived at the forth division and headed to Unohana's office. The third seat noticed that they were there, muttered off something in his notes before heading off to get the taicho of the division. The woman came into the office and sat down, her eyes taking in the fact that Toshiro was fidgeting in his chair. "I know that you aren't fond of coming here, so I'm going to ask what this visit is about."

"I'm not wetting the bed."

Rangiku's face faltered before turning her head away. "Taicho..."

"What... I told you that I didn't want to come."

"Be truthful with me. Have you wet the bed Hitsugaya Taicho?" Unohana's voice caused the two to turn and look at the woman and the boy swallowed as her gaze got to him.

"Yes... but it isn't that big of a deal. Matsumoto promised not to tell anyone, so I don't get why we're here."

"How many times?"

"No! That's not fair!"

"Actually, Unohana, we're here about something else."

"No we're not!"

"He wouldn't have brought it up if it hadn't been quite a few times. How many times?"

"Four! All right!"

"You don't need to yell Hitsugaya Taicho."

"Actually, it's only three. Today's incident was a wet dream." Rangiku shook her head. "I'm sorry about this, but I really need you to talk to him about this."

"They're the damn same thing!" Toshiro snapped, his fists balling up.

"Actually, they're not." The corners of Unohana's mouth suddenly turned up. "It is quite common for boys to have wet dreams as they get older."

"That can't be. You're supposed to grow out of wetting the bed as you get older and I stopped wetting the bed long before Hinamori did." Toshiro took a deep breath. "And yeah, I know I've been wetting the bed, but.."

"Only three of the four times." Unohana shook her head, her smile deepening from amusement. "The fourth time had nothing to do with bladder problems."

"Then what the hell was the stuff today!"

"The stuff that allows males to make babies."

The forth division taicho's word's caused the boy's skin to suddenly pale. "What?"

"Exactly what I said Hitsugaya Taicho. You're hitting puberty, so your body is making the adjustments you need to in order procreate. It's as simple as that."

"I'm not a pervert! I don't like girls! And I absolutely am not hitting puberty!"

"Taicho! Please!"

"And talking about making babies! That is absolutely..."

The boy suddenly stood up and opened the door to leave. It slammed shut, while Rangiku blinked a couple of times. Unohana frowned. "I don't think he's quite ready for the sex talk."

In the meantime, Toshiro flash stepped away, causing a few of the nurses to startle as he hurried by. He then kept going, until someone's voice called out to him. "Hitsugaya Taicho. Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

The boy paused, turning to see that Hisagi, Kira and Renji were staring at him. Renji let out a laugh. "You aren't looking for Rangiku."

"No... she's at the forth division. And I haven't wet the bed or had wet dreams."

Kira blinked a couple of times. "Hitsugaya Taicho, you do realize that you said that out loud, right?"

The child taicho's cheek's suddenly flared up. "I didn't say anything."

"Yes. You did." Renji spoke up. "You clearly said that you've been wetting the bed as well as having the wet dreams."

"They're the same damn thing and I haven't! I said I wasn't!" Toshiro became more flustered.

"Uh-huh, sure."

"Renji..." Kira shook his head.

The small taicho's shoulders suddenly tensed up. "I'm not making damn babies!"

"Wait..." Hisagi shook his head. "If you think that those are the same thing, then why are you saying that. If they are the same thing you shouldn't know that."

"Shut up!"

"He just doesn't want to admit that his body is making the changes needed to be interested in girls."

"Unlike you Abarai, I am not a pervert." The boy then turned and hurried off.

Renji shook his head. "That was unusual."

"Is Hitsugaya Taicho feeling all right and should we tell our taicho about this odd behavior of his?"

Hisagi let out a deep sigh. "I'll talk to my taicho. I haven't a clue what has gotten into Hitsugaya Taicho though."
