Matsumoto peeked into the room. Hitsugaya-taicho is sitting on his working table, reading something. Hey, he must be reading the paperwork finally. Yay, he's working! So he's back to normal. Whew, she can just tell that to the Captain Commander and she don't need to trick Hitsugaya into writing this stupid diary.
"Hey, Captain!" She said, relieved, running over to pat his back, hard.
Hitsugaya hit the table with the impact. He got up slowly, with a bruise on his head.
"Oops, sorry, I've forgotten how small Taicho is." She said cheekily. Her happiness, however, disappeared when she saw what Hitsugaya was really doing.
"Wha…Captain…where did you get that…?" She stared at the magazine Hitsugaya was holding.
The small boy immediately stumbled, trying to stuff the magazine into his hideout under his table. "It's nothin'." He lied, annoyed.
Why would Captain read something like that in his work table? Won't he be, you know, working? Writing his paperwork and stuff? That's what he usually does right? "Something might have happened to him, he might be going through puberty." Matsumoto remembered what Yamamoto said. Maybe it was true, everything he said about Captain having puberty. Taicho is really…
No, this is not right. Captain can slack all he wants, but he cannot read these magazines! "Let me see how much you've been reading." Matsumoto said sternly, pushing Hitsugaya away from the table to make way for her to check his 'hideout'.
"No, don't see it!" Hitsugaya grabbed Matsumoto and flung her away. Small as he look, there's a reason why he became the captain. Matsumoto compete with his strength, so she flew out and, thankfully, hit the sofa.
Hitsugaya looked as shocked as Matsumoto stared. Hitsugaya composed himself faster, and locked his 'hideout' immediately. "Don't you ever open, or even peek inside this cupboard."
"Taicho… why…?" Matsumoto can't believe it. What was inside the cupboard? More porn? Captain did not look like the type of person that will…
Hitsugaya seemed to have read Matsumoto's mind. He blushed and shouted, "I was curious okay!" He sat down, folding his arms. "I'm not going to read anymore of it, I…I don't really like it. That was the only one I ever will read; I don't have anymore of that crap in my cupboard, so don't bother checking!"
So, he was reading porn…And here I thought he was doing paperwork finally.
Matsumoto looked at Hitsugaya disappointedly, as he returned to his normal self, asking, "So, what are you doing here?"
There's no choice then, it's inevitable…let's continue on with the plan.
She stood straight up, and cleared her throat.
"Ahem, Captain, do you know that keeping a diary is a very good habit? Putting your life problems into pen and paper will make your problems seem more obvious and the answer will become more apparent. And if you write down your goal in the diary, you will achieve them more likely than if you don't write down! You can write all your secrets in it, so you don't have to keep them in your heart anymore, and you can vent your anger when you feel irritated. It is healthy for both your soul and heart. So why don't you adopt this habit of writing a diary!" Matsumoto said the whole chunk without breath, memorizing it from last night's research.
Hitsugaya blinked, confused. "…So…?"
"So? Don't you get my point? You should start writing a diary!"
Hitsugaya stared. "…Why?"
"Didn't you hear me? Do you know that keeping a diary is a very good habit? Putting your life problems into pen and paper will make your problems seem more obvious and the answer will become more apparent. And if you write down your goal in the…" Matsumoto went on to repeat her memorized research again.
"Okay, okay, you said it before!"
Matsumoto stopped at Hitsugaya's irritation. "So…you should…start a diary!" She said once more, feeling stupid. This would never work… She thought, looking at Hitsugaya's irked face.
"I…I even bought you a diary to get you started!" Matsumoto picked up her diary that she had bought for her Captain. It was a blue, ringed book. Matsumoto wanted to buy a pink one for him, but she thought that would instantly ruin the plan.
"Keep that." Hitsugaya said. "I've got nothing to write about."
"Come on, it's impossible! I mean, you can write about your day, your dreams, your thoughts and feelings about people, and just…what you feel on the spot! It's really fun!" Matsumoto said, forcing out a smile. It's so hard saying things that she doesn't believe in.
"And it's gonna be a private diary, secret, and no one can read it!" She added, remembering the Captain Commander's words.
Hitsugaya stared. He sighed. "Okay, give it to me. Since you especially bought it for me, I'll just have to try and do it."
Oh my, Captain actually agreed on it! I can't believe it! Matsumoto was ecstatic. She jumped up in happiness as she hugged her Captain! "Oh, Taicho, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! You must write something, okay! It will be 100% confidential!"
"Okay, okay! I get it!" Hitsugaya said, pushing Matsumoto away. "Sheesh…what's wrong with you…"
XxXxX
Matsumoto peeked into her Captain's room once again. Okay, he's sleeping. Now let's go in and steal that book! Hopefully he did write something.
Matsumoto tiptoed softly, and searched around her Captain's table to find the book.
"Here it is!" Matsumoto cheered silently. She opened the book, and read it.
8th August
Okay…erm…dear diary.
This is so stupid. Why am I writing a diary? And why am I writing 'dear diary'? The phrase sound so stupid by itself. What's up with that woman…
Anyway…the Captain Commander has not sacked me yet. Wondering what he's up to. I've caused so much troubles, it's impossible to continue having me in the Gotei 13. I hope he can quickly sack me. Maybe a few more Captain meetings will blow him off, and get me fired finally.
I have a dream last night. The same one. She was there, again. As usual, she was just sanding there. I have no idea why. Why do I keep having those dreams? It's so irritating. When I woke up, I was still thinking about her. I really just wanted to lie there and never wake up, but there's still the Captain meeting… Freak it, just sack me already!
Those paperwork are piling and are almost rotting. I'm not going to do them. Let the next tenth squad captain take care of it.
Okay, that's it, I've got nothing else to complain about. This diary is so useless…
Matsumoto stared at the book, Hitsugaya's new diary, dumbfounded. Hitsugaya…taicho…wants to quit being a Captain… This…this is impossible! Why? Why would he want to be sacked? This is…
Hitsugaya stirred.
Oh man, better get out of here quick. Matsumoto put the book back gently, and crept out of the room.
End of chappie! Sorry it's so short. I'm kinda busy. :P
Every chapter shall be a new entry from Hitsugaya, and his secret shall be revealed layer by layer! Yes!
