Sorry sorry sorry for extreme late update. I had a lot of projects that was due and I had to rush it out. DD:
Hehe to tell you the truth I'm not really a fan of HitsuMatsu, this is just random. Lol they don't really match, but I love them as a pair of captain and vice. So now I'm having a headache as to how it will end…
Enjoy my next chapter. :D
XxXxX
Hitsugaya rubbed his eyes as he slowly got up from his bed. Oh man, he overslept again! It's 2pm in the afternoon! This is bad, how many hours of sleep he have had already? He had better not sleep too much; it's bad for the body…
He got up slowly, wiping his face.
"Taicho! You're awake!" His cute bubbly vice-captain jumped towards him.
Damn, just woken up from a dream and here you are… Hitsugaya thought, slightly irked. "Why the hell are you here?"
"I did your paperwork. You look so tired, and there is a pile of it collecting dusts already, so I just came and did it." Matsumoto said.
Hitsugaya turned his head and looked at his table. Indeed, the pile of paperwork has vanished. Hitsugaya's gaped at the emptiness of his table, shocked. "You…did all the paperwork?" He asked, pinching himself as if he thought he was still dreaming.
"Yup, so now you're stress-free!" Matsumoto said happily. "Hinamori said you might have a lot of stress nowadays."
"Oh, okay, thank you then." Hitsugaya murmured, shaking his head awake. He stared at Matsumoto. She had dark circles under her eyes. Eye bags… She must have stayed up all night… Hitsugaya felt his heart squeezed in guilt.
Just to do all those paperwork that he left behind so irresponsibly, she sacrificed her sleep, when he had a full 17 hours of sleep. Why is she so nice to him? Why had she been so nice to him all these times? She helped him in Rukongai, recruited him into her squad, and even nominated him to be Captain. All the while she had been helping him to get to where he is now, and being so nice to him. And now, doing his paperwork for him…
There's a reason why Hitsugaya was so dedicated to his paperwork; he did not want Matsumoto to do it. Yes, he would scream at Matsumoto for not doing her work, but he never expected her to, and in truth, never wanted to. He's more than happy to help Matsumoto in whatever ways he can.
Now he cannot even do the paperwork for her, and cause her to grow eye bags!
"You okay? You look…angry…"
"I am." I'm angry at myself, Matsumoto. "Now get out! And I don't want you doing my paperwork anymore, get it." He ordered.
"Okay, I don't really like doing it anyway. Next time do it yourself then." Matsumoto said, bouncing out of the room.
Hitsugaya blinked, not getting Matsumoto's behaviour. He shrugged. Oh well, she has always been this weird and cute, that's what I liked about her.
He sighed. But this cannot go on. If he continued being with Matsumoto like this, he'll end up really, really liking her, as in for real. He'd better get out of this division quick, before his feelings get out of hand.
XxXxX
When she didn't do paperwork, he'll get angry. Now when she did do paperwork, he gets angry too. Man, Hisugaya-taicho's temper is hard to understand. Matsumoto thought, slightly chuckling to herself when she recalled Hitsugaya's facial expression when he found out that Matsumoto did everything. Haha, he was so shocked, it was the first time she saw Hitsugaya open his mouth that big. She should have taken a photo of it.
"Yo, Ran-chan."
Matsumoto spun around in surprise. "Oh, it's you, Gin. Why are you here?"
"Had nothin' to do." Gin shrugged.
The two stared at each other in awkwardness. Well, this is what happens to ex-couples, huh…
"So, erm, how are you?" Matsumoto asked, smiling, trying to force something out.
Gin shrugged again. "How's that capt'n of yours? You used to talk about him a lot."
"Erm, yeah, he's still the same." Matsumoto smiled. "As cute as always."
They stood in silence again. After all, Hitsugaya was the one that caused the break up, so it's rather awkward…
"Wanna eat lunch or somethin'?" Gin said, scratching his head.
"Oh, I'm, erm, I'm going with my friends, so…"
"Then, it's okay I guess. I'll be going, then."
"Bye." Matsumoto said, giving Gin a hug, feeling rather awkward. Suddenly, they heard someone gasped.
They turned around. That someone had already swooped down along the corridors, away from sight, but something caught Matsumoto's eyes that cause her to panic.
That person, his hair was white and spiky…
Matsumoto pushed Gin away immediately, and chased after that other person.
"Sorry, see you in another day!" She shouted as she ran away desperately.
It might be Hitsugaya-taicho. That hair…it has to be him! Oh no, he must have saw their struggles, and must have misunderstood or something. Why else would he run off like that? She must run over to him to explain herself.
She turned around the corner. "Taicho!"
Empty.
He must have shunpoed away. That boy, he's so fast…
Matsumoto panted, looking around frantically. She had no idea why is she so worked up over this. She just knew that she did not want Captain to get the wrong idea, to misunderstand her, to think that she and Gin still has a relationship. That's why she broke up in the first place. She had no idea why, but she had never wanted to be seen in any relationship at all, ever since Hitsugaya came.
Maybe she didn't want the rumours, maybe she had finally decided to be single. But whatever, she must find Captain! She has to…
"Come on, Taicho, where are you?" She whispered desperately, almost crying. "Please…" She raised a hand to wipe her tear off.
She sensed for his reiatsu urgently. It doesn't work; he can hide his reiatsu all too well…
"Hitsugaya…" Matsumoto sat down, tired from all the running and searching. She buried her head into her arms, and cried.
XxXxX
That's it, he knew that would happen. He knew it, he fucking knew it. So why is he still crying?
Hitsugaya punched the wall angrily, again, this time with his left fist. His right fist is already bleeding uncontrollably.
Damn it, damn it. The image of them hugging was still burning in his mind, and he could not get it out. Gin and Matsumoto… it has been so long since he last seen them together, even after the whole Aizen thing is solved. Right, so apparently they're still together, enough of my fat hopes. Matsumoto still liked Gin!
Hitsugaya punched the wall again. Well, it's what he wanted, right? Gin'll keep Matsumoto happy. Look at how happy they were; hugging in the streets, God knows what the fucking shit they would be doing next.
He punched the wall again. Matsumoto would be happy; after all, that's what he always wanted, right? He need not fret so much about his relationship with Matsumoto already, right?
So why the hell is he still crying?
He punched the wall again and again, as he muttered to himself "Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it…" He can feel the blood gushing out of his hands. It hurts, but he didn't care. The pain in his heart hurts more.
This time, Hyourinmaru spoke out.
"Master…"
"I told you, Hyourinmaru, don't interfere. I don't care about how my hands hurt."
"…No, it's not that."
"Then what?" Hitsugaya shouted back.
Hyourinmaru hesitated at his master's temper. "…I sensed Haineko."
Hitsugaya blinked, as he regained his alertness. Damn, Matsumoto's reiatsu is really close by.
"Let's get out of here…" He said, stopping his frantic punches.
"But, master," came Hyourinmaru's concerned voice. "You…"
Before Hyourinmaru was able to say anything, Hitsugaya fainted. The last thing he saw was the worried face of Matsumoto.
XxXxX
Hitsugaya opened his eyes slowly.
Where is this place? He looked around, as his eyes get accustomed to the surrounding. This is the fourth squad. Why is he doing here?
"Captain, you're awake."
Matsumoto sat next to him, looking at him with worried eyes.
"W...what happened?"
"You fainted due to blood loss." Matsumoto said. "You…you punched too hard. Your bones broke."
Hitsugaya blinked as he remembered what he had been doing. He immediately averted his head away from Matsumoto. "Go back to your Gin, damn it. I don't want you to be here, leave me alone." He retorted.
Matsumoto looked shocked and hurt at his comment. Well, whatever, it's better to do this than ending up getting even more hurt.
"Taicho… I broke up with Gin."
"What?" Hitsugaya sat up, but immediately slouched back, pretending not to care. He had better not be too obvious in his feelings…
Matsumoto looked down. "After all, we're separated for quite sometime, so…we don't agree on many terms, and quarreled a lot, and we just…couldn't make it anymore…" She shrugged. "So we broke up."
"Then…just now you guys won't…"
"We just saw each other for the first time after we broke up, so it's pretty awkward. So I just gave him a hug." Matsumoto smiled. "Turns out we were both handling the break-up pretty well."
"Oh." Hitsugaya said, relieved. So they broke up. No wonder he seldom sees them together anymore. He smiled slightly, and then stopped himself.
"Well, whatever, just leave me alone and go away." Hitsugaya said, trying to compose himself.
"Okay." Matsumoto smiled. "Rest well, okay? Since I helped you do all of your paperwork already, have a good, stress-less sleep!"
She said and left the room.
Hitsugaya stared at the door. Che, he actually broke his bones just for a stupid misunderstanding. He thought being in love with Matsumoto was going to be painful in his heart, guess it's painful physically too…
XxXxX
"Oh damn I forgot about my mission!" Matsumoto said out loud, while walking in the streets. "I was too caught up in ensuring Captain's safety that I forgot I'm supposed to find that girl Captain's in love with!"
Hmm…who can it be…? She thought, rubbing her chins, while the people in the streets stared at her with weird glances. Hinamori? Rukia? Orihime? Yachiru? Or is it that human girl…Ichigo's sister?
Oh man, this is hard. Captain normally did not have a lot of rumours, so it's rather hard to find information about this.
It's getting late. Let's just read his new diary entry, maybe he'll finally state out her name!
Dear Diary,
I can't stand it. I suddenly have so much hope in my heart! I mean, after I heard about her breaking up with that guy, I don't know, I think I just feel so much happier…and hopeful now. Hope for what? That I can actually win her over? That maybe she broke up so that she can be with me? What shit!
I shouldn't be this hopeful. I think I'll end up disappointing myself. I hate getting disappointed…
But she cared so much about me! She even troubled herself to find me, when I thought that I hid myself pretty well. She brought me all the way from that place to division four; it must be hard on her. She even helped me with all my paperwork.
Why? Why is she so good to me? She's making it harder for me to let her go. Now every time I look at her, I just want to apologise for all the troubles I'm causing her. I want her to rely on me again, and let me do all the paperwork… (Can't help it, I'm trying to get sacked and I can't concentrate anyway) I just want her to hug me again, like she used to, all the time.
I dreamt about her again. I think I actually went and hug her. Her strawberry-like hair was really fluffy (I think it was my pillow).Well, she is shocked and all, and she pushed me away, saying we will never be together.
She says we're not allowed. She's older than me, and she's my vice-captain.
But I seriously love her.
Okay, I said it. I mean I wrote it. I finally confessed that I love her. Have to admit it started way before, before I became a Captain, her Captain.
I'll just have to give up on this miserable hope… this forbidden love…
XxXxX
Matsumoto stared at the sleeping child, mouth agape.
Captain…like…me?
