Chapter 2: Preparations for training
Momo was walking along one of the pathways in the Seireitei and she saw Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi.
She greeted both of them.
Knowing Captain Zaraki he would not be bothered but on the other hand Yachiru replied her, "Hello Bun- Bun, what are you doing?"
Momo replied in a happy voice, "I am going to the Shinigami Women's Association meeting."
Yachiru gave a shock look and immediately leapt off Captain Zaraki's back and at the same time she said, "Bye Kenny, see you later!"
Momo in a timid voice said, "Excuse me Captain Zaraki, if you do not mind can you answer one question?"
Captain Zaraki said, "Okay but if you take too long of my time I would fight you! "
Momo said, "Captain Zaraki why do you always wear an eye patch?"
Captain Zaraki said in a monotone voice, "I wear this eye patch because I ask the Shinigami Research and Development Institute to make it to conceal my excess reiastu."
Momo said, "Thank You for your answer, bye bye"
Captain Zaraki said, "Yeah, whatever."
Momo then use her shunpo to reach the meeting on time, at the same time thinking about the eye patch.
At the meeting, there was a special guest, it was Yoruichi Shihoin. She spoke about women needing to become stronger to prove to the men that they are wrong to assume females are weak.
Momo had a sudden idea, what if Yoruichi knows a secret place to train? It would work out perfectly!
After the meeting, she went to Yoruichi and said, "Good evening, Miss Yoruichi, I am Momo Hinamori of Squad 5, I am inspired by your speech of being stronger. If possible could you tell me where to train secretly so that my attacks would not hurt anyone?"
Before Yoruichi could respond Captain Soifon angrily said, "Where are your manners! Do you know who she is? She is the 22nd head of the shihoin clan, therefore she should be called Lady Yoruichi!"
Before Momo could respond, Yoruichi said, "That is enough Soifon, it is okay for people to address me as Miss Yoruichi."
Then Captain Soifon blushed and said sorry to Momo and Yoruichi.
Yoruichi passed a map to Momo which shows a hidden training ground and a note not to let anyone else know of the place.
Momo happily thanked her and left the meeting room.
She decided to go to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute to have them make something to conceal her extra reiastu.
On the way she saw Nemu and Yachiru, she walk towards Nemu and said hi to her.
But being Nemu, she replied in a montone voice.
Momo ask her in a polite tone, "Nemu can you make something to conceal excess reiastu"
Nemu said, "I cannot do it because Master Mayuri would scold me."
Momo in sad voice said, "It is okay, thanks anyway..."
Yachiru then said, "Acting- vice president, please do it for Momo!"
Nemu blushed mildly and said, "Understood Madame president. By the way Momo what design do you want."
Momo happily said, "A peach shape hairclip please"
Nemu said, "Alright you can collect the hairclip tomorrow"
Momo happily said, "Thank You Nemu."
On the way back to the Squad 5 barracks she bump onto Toshiro, Toshiro was giving a sorry look for the previous day incident.
He took a deep breath and said his apology to Momo.
Momo said, "It is okay Shiro- Chan, we still can be friends."
Toshiro then walk her back to her quarters.
Even though she had forgiven him, but she had not given up hope of achieving a bankai.
All of a sudden, Toshiro ask Momo if she was free tomorrow for lunch but she said she has a lot of administrative work to do. Toshiro left her room quietly but inside still feeling guilty for what he has done.
