HELLU!... THE LAST CHAPPY HAD A KINDA BOMBSHELL 2 IT, NE?... LAWL… THNX 4 THE REVIEWS! AS ALWAYS…

…

'Why are there two Toushiro's?...'

Hinamori looked at the photo then back at the boy standing next to her then back to the photo again just to check if she was thinking the right thing. The boys in the photo. They looked so happy. Well, annoyed since they were quite playfully pulling each other's cheeks but happy.

"Did you have a twin, Toushiro?" Momo looked at the boy who was now filled with sorrow and still grabbing onto the door to the tin shed.

"Ah…"

"Am I meant to take that… as a yes?..."

"…"

"Toushi-"

"What do you think? We used photoshop?" The boy answered in an angsty tone before taking a shaky breath and opening the shed door wider (to Momo's surprise) so that she could clearly see the photo. It was of a family of four. Hitsugaya's mum had flowing, white hair, cherry red lips and warm, brown eyes and creamy skin. His dad had brown hair, a small goatee and stunning turquoise eyes.

'Hmph… you could see where Toushiro's features come from…'

"Your mum's really beautiful…"

"DON'T say that!" Hitsugaya yelled, his fists bunching up, making his knuckles go white. He slammed the tin shed shut. Regret was washing all over his mind. Regret for showing the girl a piece of his tormented childhood. "You never had a right to say that and you never will!"

"What's your problem? I was only-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE WENT THROUGH!"

The last outburst silenced Hinamori, freezing her to the core. 'Toushiro' looked away and mentally punched himself for giving himself away.

"What do you mean? He went through? I don't know what you've been through but I don't get you at all! One minute, the eels are taking you down in the lake and the next minute, you come out of the lake as if it was a fight with a preschooler! Then, you call me a burden and mock my family and friend before passing out and not remembering a thing! Now, you're describing yourself in third person! The last time I saw that was the last encounter I had with Paris Packerman!"

"Your point is?..."

"One second, you're like the Toushiro Hitsugaya I met at the train station and the next second, you're like a completely different person! I face it, he may not be all milk and honey but… I just can't explain it! Why do you change so much in matters of split seconds? I don't get anything!"

"Hmm… It took a while for Ukitake to figure it out and takes a while to actually figure out when I'm being me but you're picking this up quite quickly… education these days must be much more advanced than it was in his teenage days, heh?..."

The frustrated girl ran her hand through her brown hair and let out a long sigh.

'Hmph… one second, he's living like there's no troubles in the world then the next second, he's Mr Antarctica… it's like two people… in… one… body… NO! Momo Hinamori, you'll be damned if you jump to such conclusions again!... but I can't help it, DAMMIT! No matter how ridiculous or inaccurate this may sound…'

"Are you a split personality?"

"HA!... Now, I wonder… ne?..."

The boy ran his finger down Hinamori's jaw line, sending shivers down her spine and making her step back a little. He pushed her against the door of the tin shed, arms on either side of her and whispered into her ear, "I don't think he knows of my existence…"

Momo's heartbeat raced and a deep blush filled her cheeks. His breaths on neck were too… intimate… way too intimate for her liking. Her mind quickly tried to find a way to escape the uncomfortable situation but the weather seemed to solve her problem.

PIT…PAT…PIT…PAT…

First were the few drops of water that fell from the sky, which were followed by the downfall of a million rain drops, soaking the two to the skin.

"W-w-we're gonna get wet if we don't go inside!"

With that, Hinamori shoved 'Hitsugaya' off herself and ran into the safe zone of her uncle's house.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Ukitake's suspicion and surprise, the lunch flew by silently. No arguments. No bickering or quarrelling. Just silence that was occasionally interrupted by the sounds of chewing.

"Did something happen between you two?"

"What happened to three to four hours?" Toushiro quickly asked to change the topic but in a character that was totally unlike him. Maybe like… Hinamori couldn't quite describe it. It was tinted with nervousness yet had a boldness to it…

"I was meant to meet someone but it was cancelled…"

"Who?"

"Why are you asking these questions?"

"Is it someone… special?"

"NO, I was not on a date!"

"I never said you were going on a date!"

"You were implying it…"

"You got dumped! Am I right? HAHAHA!!!"

The teenage boy burst out laughing and jumped onto his feet, knocking his chair over. Jyushiro just stared at his housemate's absurd behaviour with widened eyes.

'WOA!... STOP THE HORSES!... THIS IS COMPLETELY UNLIKE HITSUGAYA AND IF IT CONTINUES, THIS COULD BE BAD…'

Hinamori quickly forced out a fake giggle, "No, we're serious uncle! You need to find a girlfriend before it's too late!"

With that, the girl quickly rushed to the other side of the table and dragged Toushiro by his hair to the staircase.

"GOCHISOSAMA!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ouch! Let. Me. Go, bitch!" Hitsugaya struggled beneath the grasp on his hair as Hinamori slammed the door shut.

"Bitch? I just saved us both from trouble!" Momo quickly let go of the boy's hair. "We need to talk!"

"I hate those words… what ya wanna talk about anyway?..."

"I have questions! But we can't talk about them here!"

Re-enforcing her clasp on the boy's hair, the female slid her closet open and pushed him in before entering it herself and sliding the door shut again.
