Darkness

Normal POV

In the girls room,

"Guys, today was such a weird day! I swear! There was way too much drama I didn't know what to do!" said Matsumoto and flopped on the bed

"I agree, it was a crazy day!" nodded Orihime, and went to take her clothes in the bathroom

"What are you doing Inoue?" asked Rukia

"Oh if you guys don't mind, I'm just going to take a quick shower!" said Orihime and closed the bathroom door

"Fine by me," said Rukia and went to her suitcase to get a magazine out of it.

"HEY! Is that Hinamori?" exclaimed Matsumoto pointing at the cover photo. Hinamori came over and looked at it, "OH MY GOD! IT IS! What issue is this! I can't let anyone see this!"

"I don't think anyone's going to notice," assured Matsumoto

"Yeah, I think you'll be fine," agreed Rukia and went on reading her magazine. Hinamori sighed and sat on her bed.

"What happened?" asked Matsumoto

"Just… I don't know, is it really okay to date Hitsugaya?"

"We can't answer that, only you can. But as long as you're happy then isn't it fine because it's what makes you alive," said Rukia

"I guess you're right," said Hinamori and smiled. She turned her head to see Orihime out of the shower and already changed.

"Which reminds me, Inoue what happened between you and Ichigo?" asked Rukia

"Hm… OH uh, nothing!" said Orihime and smiled awkwardly as she was blushing like mad

"Something totally happened," said Matsumoto and threw a pillow at her.

"I SWEAR NOTHING HAPPENED!" pouted Orihime

"Oh Rangiku, what are we doing tonight?" asked Hinamori

"Well I was actually planning to just have a girls night in but the guys wanted a campfire with all of us so I guess we're having bbq for dinner tonight at the beach," said Matsumoto

"AWESOME!" exclaimed Rukia and grinned, from excitement she started jumping on her bed, "I LOVE BBQ!"

"What happened to you today Hinamori?" asked Matsumoto

"Oh yeah, you just disappeared with Toushiro-kun," said Orihime

"Urhm… a lot of things actually," said Hinamori not wanting to say anything about Kira

"And didn't Kira disappear when they went back too?" asked Rukia

"Yeah he did," confirmed Matsumoto

"Well… about Kira…" started Hinamori and explained everything.

"WHAT? KIRA? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" yelled Matsumoto

"I'M GOING TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM!" shouted Rukia

"Hinamori-chan, are you okay?" sniffled Orihime hugging Hinamori

"Orihime, for the last time it's MOMO!" said Hinamori and smiled

"Thank god Hitsugaya came, or else you would've been in such a bad position!"

"Yeah!"

"I really owe my life to him, enough about me! What about you Rukia?" asked Hinamori

"Nothing really," said Rukia trying to act all cool

"Rukia and Renji got together," blurted Matsumoto

"WHAT? REALLY? CONGRAGULATIONS!" exclaimed Hinamori grinning like mad

"…. No comment," said Rukia and hid her face into her pillow

"Stop being so shy!" said Orihime and started poking Rukia

"SAYS THE PERSON WHO ALSO GOT TOGETHER WITH ICHIGO!" pointed out Rukia

"KUCHIKI-SAN! I HATE YOU!" yelled Orihime getting red

"HAHAHAHAHA, YOU'RE SO RED!" laughed Rukia. Hinamori's phone started to ring, and Hinamori picked it up to see that it was a call from Kira.

"Hello?"

"Hi Hinamori-kun… I just wanted to apologize for what I did today, I just got so annoyed that Hitsugaya could just get you as a girlfriend in such a fast pace… I, I was a fool to do such a thing to you and I really want to apologize to your face."

"I forgive you… Where?"

"I'm at the swimming pool," said Kira

"Alright, I'll see you soon," said Hinamori and told the girls that she's going to talk to Kira then walked outside to see Kira near the pool.

"Hey," waved Kira and smiled

"Hi," responded Hinamori and walked to Kira.

"I'm sorry, but do you think we could be friends again?" asked Kira and put his hand forward to Hinamori.

"Yeah, just… don't do that to anyone else alright?" said Hinamori and shook his hand. Before she knew it she was pulled into a hug.

"Kira-kun?"

"I'm really sorry but my feelings won't change. I love you, and I always will."

"I… I'm sorry," said Hinamori and tried to wriggle her way through his arms.

"I know you won't have the same feelings as I have towards you but just remember that whenever you're sad, I'll be here for you as a friend."

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you for saying that," said Hinamori and looked around for help. She slowly took out her phone from her back pocket and put her arms around Kira to make it look like she was hugging him back but she was texting Hitsugaya for help. She clicked send and prayed he would come soon. Then suddenly she was grabbed from behind and into someone else's arm, she looked up to see emerald green eyes glaring at Kira.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from Hinamori?" said Hitsugaya

"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, I just can't get my head straight. Just why is it that you could take her heart in such a short while and I couldn't!"

"Kira-kun, there will be someone for you, but it's not me," said Hinamori and smiled

"You're right, but remember… I'll always love you even if I find someone else," said Kira and turned around to walk away.

"Wait Izuru… I'll give you a piece of advice, don't try to get someone else's girlfriend or else… you'll end up getting hurt," said Hitsugaya

"I don't care what you say Hitsugaya, I'm going to do what I have to do."

"Kira-kun…"

"See you at the campfire you two!" said Kira and waved goodbye

"What the hell is your problem!" yelled Hitsugaya

"I'm sorry…" mumbled Hinamori
"SAY IT LOUDER! HMM, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" yelled Hitsugaya some more

"I SAID I'M SORRY!" shouted Hinamori and pushed him away

"Why did you even text me?" shouted Hitsugaya

"WELL I'M SORRY! I… JUST… YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAME TO MY MIND!" yelled Hinamori

"I HAD TO LOOK FOR YOU AND I FOUND YOU IN THIS SITUATION WITH HIM!"

"I TOLD YOU I'M SORRY, WHY ARE YOU SO MAD?" fumed Hinamori

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SORRIES, OR ANYTHING! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM, YET YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME!"

"HE WANTED TO APOLOGIZE AND I WANTED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE!"

"A CHANCE TO SOMEONE WHO NEARLY TRIED TO RAPE YOU? ARE YOU CRAZY!"

"MAYBE I AM! I LIKE BELIEVING AND TRUSTING PEOPLE!"

"YOU'RE TOO NAÏVE IT MAKES ME SICK!"

"THEN WHY DID YOU EVEN COME FIND ME? IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME THEN WHY DID YOU COME FIND ME!" yelled Hinamori, by then tears started to form in her eyes

"STOP CRYING!" shouted Hitsugaya

"NOT UNTIL YOU ANSWER ME! YOU ALWAYS GET ANGRY AT ME FOR NO REASON, IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"FINE!"

"FINE!" shouted Hinamori and clenched her fists as she saw Hitsugaya walk past her. She turned around but slipped and fell into the pool, she was about to surface but her feet got cramps. She couldn't move, she couldn't hold her breath any longer and started sinking slowly. She heard another splash and she opened her eyes to see a concerned Hitsugaya.

"Why are you here?" asked Hinamori in a croaky voice

"You didn't come out of the pool, and I saw you sinking… Can't believe you can't swim…" said Hitsugaya

"I got cramps…" said Hinamori and winced when she tried to move her feet

"Let me fix it for you." Hitsugaya started massaging her feet and she slowly relaxed, "Hinamori… I'm sorry, I said too much…"

"Me too," said Hinamori and let a tear slip from the corner of her eye

"This is the second time I got wet today and all because of you… Seriously can't you take care of yourself?" complained Hitsugaya

"I'm sorry I'm incompetent, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, I'm sorry I can't be your ideal girlfriend, I'm sorry I can't be someone like Karin who you used to like, I'm sorry…" said Hinamori and she was already standing with her fists clenched, "I'm sorry… I couldn't do anything to make you happy…" She walked past him with tears slipping down her cheeks, "Why am I always crying!" whispered Hinamori.

"I'm the one who should be saying sorry… not you…." mumbled Hitsugaya and put his head into his hands, "I screwed up big time again…"

Hinamori came back into the room with tears welling up in her eyes. The girls eyes widened when she saw dripping wet with tears pouring from her eyes.

"What happened?" asked Matsumoto concerned

"Ohmygod, there are way too many things going on," said Rukia and got a towel for Hinamori

"Hitsugaya, he… and Kira, he…" Hinamori couldn't properly say the words because of her tears.

"Momo, don't cry anymore, it's going to be alright!" cheered on Orihime

"Just tell us what happened, I bet Kira did something didn't he?" said Matsumoto

"I'll tell you guys everything," said Hinamori and told them what happened. They all hugged Hinamori at once.

"Don't worry, he'll understand later."

"But what if he doesn't?" bawled Hinamori

"There's no need to worry because I have the best plan ever," said Matsumoto and gave her a small wink

"Oh no… what do you have in mind now?" asked Rukia

"Not telling you guys, and especially you, your always skeptical about everything," pointed out Matsumoto

"How about me?" asked Orihime

"You're too innocent… Hinamori don't worry, leave it to the MATSUMOTO RANGIKU!" said Matsumoto and gave her a thumbs up.

"I don't know why but I'm kind of scared…." said Hinamori and let out a long sigh

In the boys room, (Renji, Ichigo, and Hitsugaya)

"Dude where'd you go? You suddenly ran out," asked Ichigo while reading a magazine (The magazine with Hinamori on the cover)

"Nothing," replied Hitsugaya and sat on his bed thinking about what he should do in this situation

"What's wrong with you, you seem bothered about something," said Renji unpacking some of his things

"It's about—," started Hitsugaya but was cut off when Renji said, "OH DAYUM SHE'S HOT!" Hitsugaya looked to see Renji looking at the cover photo of the magazine.

"You mean Hina—, I mean Peachy?" said Hitsugaya quickly covering up his mistake

"Yeah, don't you think so, I wouldn't mind going out with her," said Renji

"I'm going to tell that to Rukia!" warned Ichigo and let out an evil laugh

"I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! I MEANT AS IN LIKE, HANGING OUT WITH HER NOT IN A GIRLFRIEND BOYFRIEND WAY!" stammered Renji getting red

"You're face is as red as your hair," said Ichigo and laughed

"Sh-shut up!" yelled Renji throwing a pillow at Ichigo who easily dodged it

"Could you guys shut up already," said Hitsugaya in a cold voice

"Dude seriously, what the hell is on your mind?" asked Ichigo

"I told you, nothing," said Hitsugaya annoyed

"You're impossible to understand," complained Renji and shrugged it off

In the other boys room, (Ikkaku, Yumichika, Hisagi and Kira)

"Kira where were you?" asked Ikkaku seeing Kira walk into the room

"Where were you the whole day?" asked Hisagi

"I was at the hotel, I felt kinda light headed," explained Kira

"When we came back the room was kind of a mess, did something happen?" asked Yumichika

"No, I must've slept walked again," said Kira and let out a convincing sigh

"I remember that time you slept walked on our school field trip, you ended up walking into the forest!" exclaimed Ikkaku and laughed

"That was so embarrassing!" yelled Kira and jumped on his bed burying his face into his pillow

"Did you kiss her?" asked Yumichika out of the blue

"I didn't work out as I planned, I pissed of Hitsugaya," said Kira and sighed

"You shouldn't have done that," said Hisagi

"But it was worth a shot," said Kira and turned around to face the ceiling

"What are you planning to do now?" asked Yumichika

"Win her heart, that's the only thing I can do," said Kira

"And how are you going to do that?" questioned Hisagi

"I'll come save her when something bad happens, be there for her when she needs someone, and be whoever she wants me to be," explained Kira

"Wow, that's pretty deep," said Ikkaku and went into the bathroom

"It's better than the kissing plan," said Yumichika and checked himself in front of the mirror

"Well Kira, good luck on that," said Hisagi and gave him a slight nod

The group met each other at the beach and started to gather the things they need.

"So Ichigo, and Renji start the fire. Orihime and I will go find some branches to keep the fire going. Hinamori and Hitsugaya you're responsible for the cooking, Hisagi, Yumichika, and Ikkaku go to the convenience store and find some marshmallows and other snacks or food you want to eat. Kira and Rukia you're responsible for the outside lights, don't forget to change the light bulbs because when we borrowed it from the receptionist they said they didn't change the bulbs so change the bulbs. Okay guys GET TO WORK!" ordered Matsumoto and everyone went to do their work.

"Is this your plan Rangiku? Seriously…" thought Hinamori in her head as she walked to the cooking section. She was there earlier than Hitsugaya so she started cutting the vegetables and the meat, she started making some salad when Hitsugaya came. She tried her best to ignore his existence and moved swiftly without looking at him, Hitsugaya did the same and cut the vegetables. Hinamori winced when she cut herself with the knife and saw blood pouring out from her fingers. She washed her hands and tried to look for something to stop the blood.

"Here," said Hitsugaya and handed her a small band-aid. Hinamori took it and wrapped it around her finger, "Thanks…"

From afar Matsumoto saw the awkward atmosphere and didn't like the look of it. An interesting idea came to her mind and she happily walked to the forest with Orihime thinking about what a genius idea it is.

Ikkaku, Hisagi and Yumichika came back from the convenience stores with bags of snacks.

"Why'd you guys buy so much?" asked Ichigo staring at all the food

"We thought everyone would be hungry," mumbled Ikkaku opening a packet of chips

"I think it's just you that's hungry," said Renji and took the bag of chips away from Ikkaku and started munching on them.

"Give me back my chips!" yelled Ikkaku

"I'm hungry too! Let me have my share!" shouted Renji

"Do what you want."

Rukia and Kira did their work normally in silence, until Kira brought up a conversation.

"I think you heard from Hinamori of what I did to her today," said Kira

"She did, and you're stupid," responded Rukia and changed another light bulb

"I know, all I wanted to do was apologize but I couldn't help myself. Whenever I see her, her smile always comes in my mind and it melts my world. She's someone I never want to let go," said Kira and smiled. Rukia stared at him and smiled, "Love makes people do stupid things. But sometimes if those stupid things didn't happen or you chose not to do them then things would've been different."

"I know and I'm so frustrated at myself for not making things right."

"It's never too late," said Rukia

"It is, but I'm not going to stop loving her all of a sudden."

"Well, I wish you luck on that. She still needs a friend like you," said Rukia and smiled

"I'm happy we're still friends," said Kira and went back to work

Everyone finished their work, and started to have a nice barbeque. Matsumoto was having a good time along with everyone else. After they had a nice long dinner, Matsumoto abruptly stood up.

"GUYS! WHAT TIME IS IT!" asked Matsumoto

"It's around 11 p.m. why?" asked Hisagi

"TIME FOR A GAME!" said Matsumoto and grinned. Everyone grunted knowing that her games are always mischievous.

"Well what's the game?" asked Hinamori

"Good question! We're going to go by pairs and you guys have to walk through the forest ALONE, you have to get to that cliff over there," explained Matsumoto and pointed to a cliff that stuck out from the forest, "Even I don't know the way so GOOD LUCK!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW THE WAY?" said Renji

"Alright! I already picked partners!" said Matsumoto ignoring Renji

"Uhm, Rangiku, can I just go alone?" asked Hinamori avoiding eye contact from Hitsugaya

"Nonsense!" said Matsumoto

"Can I come with you? I don't feel like playing a game today" pleaded Hinamori and Matsumoto reluctantly said yes

Renji and Rukia went first, then Ichigo and Orihime. After those two Yumichika and Ikkaku went together along with Kira and Hisagi went with Hitsugaya. Matsumoto was with Hinamori and they were the last to go into the forest.

"Rangiku, are you sure about this?" asked Hinamori concerned and scared of the dark

"Yeah, don't worry!" assured Matsumoto and gave a pat on Hinamori's back. Hinamori's cellphone dropped when Matsumoto saw a clearing after an hour of wandering through the forest.

"WOAH THAT WAS FAST! I never knew we could get here so quickly!"

"All of the others arrived before us Rangiku," said Hinamori and suddenly noticed that her phone was not in her pocket.

"Rangiku! I can't find my phone, I think I dropped it! Don't worry I'll be back soon, I'm borrowing this flashlight!" said Hinamori quickly and ran into the forest before Matsumoto could say that the flashlight she just took was nearly out of batteries. But Matsumoto thought it would be okay since Hinamori's good at finding her way back to place. (In truth, Hinamori's really bad at directions…)

Hinamori's POV

I finally found my phone, I considered myself the luckiest person in the world and that was when the flashlight stopped working. I gulped staring at the piece of technology. "Oh god…." I checked my phone only to find that there was no service. I tried my best to trace back my steps and I couldn't help but feel scared being surrounded with only darkness. I gave up and sat down waiting for someone to come.

Just then an idea came to me, I opened my phone as a flashlight and looked at where the light showed, I accidently fell. I could feel some liquid trickling down my leg, "Crap, I got a scab." I sighed and sat down giving up. I couldn't help letting some small tears escape my eyes.

"Why does this always happen to me?"

MEANWHILE… (NORMAL POV)

"Have you guys seen Hinamori?" asked Matsumoto getting worried

"No, why?" asked Ichigo

"She hasn't come back for an hour already," explained Matsumoto

"Wasn't she with you?" asked Renji

"She was, but she lost her phone and she went back to get it…"

"She lost it in the forest? Did she find it?" questioned Hisagi

"I don't know, she didn't come back. The flashlight she took is nearly out of battery, and I'm so worried!" said Matsumoto and started biting her nails.

"I'll go find her," said Kira and grabbed a flashlight. Little did Kira know that there was already someone who went to search for her.

Hinamori was sitting alone in the dark and she heard some footsteps coming near her. She gulped, scared of what that person or thing might do to her. She screamed when she felt it put a hand on her shoulder, but looked back when that thing didn't do anything. She looked over to find someone she didn't except to see.

"Shiro-chan"

She was alone in the dark

Yet whenever she cried he would be there

Why does he come at a time like this only?

Why?
