Hello again! The first Chapter is here! Just so you won't get confused, the italics are used for the words Rukia is reading from the book. This has slight spoilers about Hitsugaya's past, so yeah. You were warned.

Oh yeah, the italics part also passes by quickly. I didn't really go into that much detail, just so you know.

Enjoy!

Hitsugaya's Mission

"Ok!" Rukia said excitedly. She put her finger on the first paragraph and started to read.

Once there was a family of three living in District 1, Junrinan. There was a girl, a younger boy, and their grandmother living in a nice small home. The girl, named Momo, passed the entrance exam to Shinō Academy and trained to become a shinigami, leaving the boy, Tōshirō, and the grandmother behind. Tōshiro pretended to be happy to see her go, but inside, he knew he would really miss her.

He didn't really tell anyone about it, but Tōshirō was frequently having dreams about an echoing voice calling out to him. Thinking that it was only a dream and nothing else, he kept quiet about it. What he didn't know was that while he slept, his reiatsu leaked out and was freezing his grandma. As a result, she got skinnier.

Then one day he went to a shop and he met a weird lady with strawberry-blonde hair and big boobs. She turned out to be the one who eventually convinced him to train to be a shinigami. Tōshirō left home and went to Shinō Academy.

In Tōshirō's first year at the academy, Momo walked with him and helped him find his classes. Every time she showed him something new, she would always say the same thing at the end. For example: "This is the Kidō classroom! Isn't it cool, Shirō-chan?"

Then Tōshirō would always say the same thing to her: "Don't call me that, bed-wetter!" But what he was truly saying was: "I love you, Momo." He loved her like a sister. Nothing more, nothing less.

Tōshirō soon excelled Momo, graduating in only a year with the highest grades in every class. By working hard, both of them managed to get a spot on the Gotei 13.

Long story short; due to his great skills, Tōshirō became captain of the 10th division. Because of her hard work, Momo became lieutenant in the 5th division. But a few years later, when Tōshirō was already used to being captain, he was chosen to go on a mission...

Momo merrily skipped toward the 10th Division office, eager to see Hitsugaya. She was done with her work at the 5th Division, and she had a short break before getting more work. She peeked around the door to Hitsugaya's office and saw him working on papers at his desk.

She opened the door wider and walked in.

"Hi, Hitsugaya-kun!"

"It's Hitsugaya-taichō." He replied wearily, not taking his eyes from his papers. Momo had already walked up to the front of his desk and was glanced at the nearly finished papers. Then she noticed that he had his zanpakutō strapped to his back. Why though? He wasn't off to a mission, was he?

"Are you going somewhere?" she asked curiously.

"Yes," Hitsugaya continued writing as he answered the question. "I was chosen to go on a mission in the World of the Living. A rogue shinigami by the name of Zaraki Kenpachi is terrorizing the people there. He was so tired of not having anyone worthwhile to fight, he 'ditched'. I guess he thought it was too peaceful here." He sighed. "What an idiot." He looked up from his papers to see Momo's worried face. She had a hand covering her mouth and she was looking down at her desk, her lower lip slightly trembling. He let out a soft sigh and went back to writing the last part of his paperwork.

"Why do you look so upset, Hinamori?"

"Hitsugaya-kun," she said. "Wasn't he the captain of the 11th division? That must mean he's really strong!"

"He may be strong, but he's not the smartest person in the world. The shinigami in the 11th division all have the brains of a bird." Momo agreed with what he said. Even if Hitsugaya is weaker, he can still win by outsmarting Kenpachi.

"I guess..." Momo murmured. "When are you leaving?"

"Right now." Wow, that was sudden. Momo's eyes widened as he put his brush down and got up from his seat. He stretched, and then he put his papers in a pile on his desk. He casually walked around Momo and towards the door. Momo followed.

"W-what? But Shiro-chan-"

"Geez, bed-wetter!" Hitsugaya stopped and rolled his eyes. He folded his arms and looked away with a somewhat annoyed expression. "I can take care of myself. Besides, didn't I tell you not to call me that?" He looked back at her with a hint of a smile on his face. "I know you're worried, but I won't die." And with that, he turned around and left the office, leaving Momo alone in the room.

Momo looked at the door where Hitsugaya had just gone through. She was still worried, of course. How could she not be? He was going to attempt to bring down Zaraki Kenpachi, the strongest of the 11th division, the division that focused solely zanjutsu. Sure Hitsugaya was a captain too, and he would probably hold his own against Kenpachi, but she still worried that something might happen that will result in his death. She didn't want him to go, but she couldn't do anything about it. All she could do was hope for the best.

Please tell me if I'm getting the characters' personalities wrong. I want this story to be as 'in character' as I can make it. Criticism will always be appreciated!

Chapters won't stick with a certain length. I'm hoping to make them longer in the future. That's all for now! :D
