"Talking" 'Thinking' "memories"
The Two Hitsugayas & Hinamori
By: Hitsuhinax1
Chapter 3: The Injured Dragon
'Heyyyy...' hearing a voice faintly with birds chirping in the background 'Come on, you need to wake up now sleepyhead' Hitsugaya groaning and slowly opening his eyes. "….Hinamori?"
"Nope...Guess again" A sudden manly voice replied.
Hitsugaya slowly opening his eyes again and taking a good look at who replied back. His face quickly changed to disgust "Ugh..Kurosaki."
"Oi! You little ungrateful brat!" Ichigo yelled showing a vein on his forehead "What the HELL kind of response is that!? After I saved you and carried you here to MY house!"
Hitsugaya trying to get up but felt a sharp pain on his shoulder. "..Ugh!…" his goan to the pain. "Oi oi..Don't even think about trying to get up…unless you want to bleed out again" Ichigo said while sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"Unohana-san came by to mend your wounds and told me to wake you up around this time to give you these pills. Also, to tell you to not push yourself too much. she'll be back tomorrow to check up on you." Ichigo handing him two pink pills and some water.
Hitsugaya swallowed the pills and drinking some water before laying back on the bed "What happened…?" Hitsugaya voice groaning and putting a hand on the band aid wrapped around his head. "Well…You've been out for two days and the Reigais taken over Soul Society. Yoruichi and I went to spy on the Reigais but, I found you and brought you here. Most of the Gotei 13 squad is here in the Human world. Right now they should be at Urahana's place healing their wounds" Ichigo said crossing his arms.
"So how about that 'thank you' for saving your little ass!?" Ichigo waiting for his reply.
Hitsugaya turned his head away from ichigo without a reply back. "YOU…LITTLE…" then the door opened entering Rukia "ICHIGO! I'm sorry Hitsugaya Taicho please rest and let us know if you need anything. ICHIGO LET'S GO!" "OWOWOWOW!" Grabbing Ichigo's ear and being dragged out of the room with the door closed behind them. Hitsugaya sighing looking up at the celling 'Hinamori…please be safe…' Closing his eyes and listening to the birds chirp soon drifted off to sleep.
The sun was slowly setting and inside Ichigo's room glowed warm orange, laying there was Hitsugaya sleeping and the door slowly opening. Someone walks inside and takes a seat on the bed next to Hitsugaya, a hand reaching his hairline and touching his bangs.
Hitsugaya's eyes shot open, sitting up and grabs the wrist of the intruder. "Ouch! Toshiro, you're hurting me!" finding out it's one of Ichigo's sister, Karin. "What are you doing, Kurosaki?" asked Hitsugaya asking coldly and staring at her. With the sun setting and the room in a soft orange color, his turquoise colored eyes looked like the ocean waters reflecting, Karin blushed 'he's so gorgeous..' Karin thought and feeling his grip loosen off the young girl's wrist.
"Geez wow that was some good reflexes! And I already told you to call me Karin...anyways, Ichigo asked me to wake you up and come down for dinner" Karin rubbing her wrist and looking at Hitsugaya in amazement 'He's so cool…' Hitsugaya yawns and rubs the back of his neck feeling a sharp pain 'ugh... still not fully healed..'
"I'll pass" goes back laying on the bed on his side facing away from Karin. "You need to eat something or else you won't get better anytime soon!" Karin said shaking his arm playfully. "Stop bothering me! I said I'll pass!" growling at Karin shoving his arm away from her.
"If you don't get better, how are you going to fight!?" She had a point, if he doesn't get better soon he'll never be fight his copy and end up being dead…for real this time. Hitsugaya sighed "…Fine." Getting up off the bed, walking towards the door with Karin smiling and following from behind.
Going down the stairs and entering a bright room. Hitsugaya seeing Rukia, the other Kurosaki sister and Ichigo who was ignoring his presence there. After eating dinner, everyone was in the living room watching TV and drinking tea. Hitsugaya sitting on the sofa looked at Ichigo and said "Kurosaki….Thanks for saving me…"
"Whatever man…you still look like you need to rest" Ichigo replied back. Hitsugaya nodded and was about to get up to back into Ichigo's room but, Yoruichi Shumpo in the middle of the room.
"YO! Ichigo,Kuchiki ,and Hitsugaya!" Yoruichi said cheerfully.
"GAaH! Women!" Ichigo almost falling off his chair " Why can't you just walk in like a normal person rather than give all of us a heart attack!?" Ichigo yelled holding his chest like if it was going to burst open from shock.
"What's the fun in that if I can't scare you?" Teasing Ichigo for being a scaredy cat. "Anyways, I got some news…Not good though, the Reigai army shut the gates that connect to the human world and the Soul Society."
"WHAT!?" Ichigo, Rukia, and Hitsugaya yelled at the same time. "Geez! Yes! Wow, is there some kind of echo here?...Yes, they've closed it off but, I managed to leave before they did ...or else I would of never made it out."
"How are we going to get back and stop the Reigais? Asked Rukia. "Well, I went by Kisuki's shop and told the captains there what happened already, Kisuki is working on a way to open the gate from the one under the shop…might take him a few day or so but, he can do it." Yoruichi putting her hand on hips and the group relieved that hope isn't all lost.
Meanwhile, Ichigo was having a conversation to Yoruichi about "No Shumpo in his house" rule, Yoruichi laughing and telling Rukia the story how Ichigo's girly screams are hilarious.
Hitsugaya sighed drinking his tea and staring at nothing like if his lost in his own thoughts, from afar Karin looking at him 'he seems distracted…wonder what's on his mind.' Karin walking towards Hitsugaya and takes a seat on the opposite side of the sofa. Hitsugaya pulls something out of his robes and saw a small greenish white cloth.
'A handkerchief…? Maybe he spilled…' Karin looked and there were no signs or tea on his clothes or mouth to wipe off. She observed him carefully he held it carefully neatly, flattening any wrinkles and noticed Karin looking at him. Hitsugaya quickly folded it and tucked it away back into his robes.
"What?" He asked her as he continued to drink his tea. Karin curiously pointed "What was that?" Hitsugaya putting his tea down and replied softly "Something dear to me…" Karin with a confusing look 'must be his old ex-girlfriend's…maybe I should try to make him feel better!' Karin putting a smile "Hey..Toshiro, want to go out and kick the soccer ball around for a bit? I'm sure some fresh air wil-."
"Oh Hitsugaya I forgot, I do have some news for you too..." Yoruichi cutting off Karin on accident. "What is it?" Hitsugaya reaching for his tea cup. "…It's about Hinamori."
Hitsugaya frozen and looked at Yoruichi, slowly standing up "…What? What happened to Hinamori?" his voice filled with worried thinking something horrible happened to Hinamori, he would never forgive himself. Yoruichi looking at Hitsugaya with serious eyes "ANSWER ME" His voice cold as ice and Karin never saw him like this and surprised at his action 'who is Hinamori?' Karin thought to herself watching Hitsugaya's face filled with anger.
"She's awake" Yoruichi answered.
Hitsugaya's eyes widen and his anger turned into happiness "She…She's awake?" lowering his head and slightly smiling. 'Hinamori…you're finally awake'
Lifting his head up "Where is she? Is she at Urahara's place? I'm going there." As soon as he turned around to go towards the door. Yoruichi said in a calm tone "She's not there… she did not come with me" her expression was still serious.
Hitsugaya stopped and turned his head "…what did you say?" Suddenly the room dropped a few degrees and freezing everyone's tea into ice. A sudden wind starts to blow in the room, knocking down small objects and Ichigo standing up trying to calm the young prodigy "Toshiro you need CALM DOWN! Your wounds!" Rukia protecting the Kurosaki sisters from what's to come. His white reiatsu glowing around his body.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT BRING HER!?" Hitsugaya roared, looking at Yoruichi with deadly eyes. Soon feeling a sharp pain and slowly taking a knee down, his wounds were opening. The room returning to it's normal temperature. "Damn man, what are you thinking?!" Kurosaki said on his knee as well and putting a hand on the injured captain's back.
"There wasn't enough time to get her…she's under your counterpart's protection." Yoruichi continued, still keeping her ground steady "I'm sorry…"
Hitsugaya lowered his head and his hair bangs covering his face "…thank you… for telling me."Giving a short bow and quietly walked upstairs into Ichigo's room. Closing the door behind him. Leaning against the door, he dragged his body down to the floor with his back still against the door and put his knees up to rest his elbows on "…Momo…." Quietly whispered to himself.
'I should of been the first person to see you when you woke up...to welcome you back' he thought to himself quietly '...Please...please don't think that impostor is me...' He thought about Hinamori waking up and embracing the impostor, taking all his credit for watching over her for days and nights, visiting her when he can and staying by her side.
He grinding his teeth thinking about it... the moon laminating into the room, he looked at the moon. He remembered the memories of them watching the moon on his roof together back at Soul Society.
"Wow! The moon is so beautiful tonight!" Hinamori said while rubbing her hands together to keep them warm. Hitsugaya saw she was cold and taking off his Haori and placing it around her and took a seat next to her "Ah...T-thank you..." she said blushing. "Just don't wet it now" he teased "MOU! You're so mean!" she pouted and looking away from him.
He chuckled, she was always cute when she pouted and watching the moon would be something special between them always. They would always use this chance to spend time together as friends "Hey Shiro-chan?" she said softy while looking at the moon. "What is it and it's Hitsugaya Taicho" he corrected her but knowing she would never say it. "If I ever disappeared...will you forget about me?" she said while fiddling with her fingers.
Hitsugaya taken back at her question "Baka! Why would you disappear?" snapping at her. "But...what if-" "Stop talking nonsense! It won't let happen, I promise!" he interrupted her. Hinamori looked at her childhood friend showing a pink shade on his cheeks and smiled "Okay...promise? Pinky promise?" Lifting her pinky promise towards him. "Yeah yeah whatever...pinky promise..." He linked his pinky finger around hers tightly. "I'll never forget about you either!" Hinamori said smiling.
Looking at the moon and let out a soft sign. Slowly, he got up and walked towards the bed. While sitting on the bed he reached for the cloth in his robes again, pulling out the small cloth. The cloth was the only piece of item that was hers and treasured always carried around so one day when she wakes up, he would of gave it back to her. It still had a faint peach scent which he always missed and slowly laying down on the soft bed and closed his eyes and drifted to sleep with the scented peach cloth as if she was there sleeping with him.
