Chapter 13: Surprises

In the early morning at granny's house

Momo was sleeping on a separate mattress from Toshiro.

Momo was having a bad dream.

In her dream

Momo saw people in shiny black amour, a blur image of a girl about her size with a hollow mask on her face, a black phoenix and worst of all she saw Aizen.

When they were getting closer towards her, she told them to stay away from her.

Momo took of her peach hairclip and said, "Bankai!"

Her whole dream was covered in fire.

Back in the room

Toshiro was sleeping normally until he felt the surrounding was getting hotter.

He thought that the weather was hot, but he realised that this was not the case as he asked Hyorinmaru to regulate the temperature to have a slightly cold feeling when sleeping.

He was asking himself whether there was a possibility of Momo producing the heat.

He said, "Momo, Momo wake up!"

After a few attempts Momo woke up.

Momo said, "Yes, Shiro- Chan."

He said, "Momo, did you cause this heat?"

Momo realised what had happened and said, "No, I do not feel hot why?"

He said, "Nothing really."

When he left the room, Momo heaved a sigh of relief as her secret was not revealed.

They ate breakfast at granny's house, thanked her and left for the Seireitei.

At the Seireitei

When Toshiro and Momo walked through the Seireitei, groups of female shinigami stared at them for a moment and continue their gossip about them.

Both of them did not know what was going on until they saw a shinigami from squad 9 selling the Seireitei news magazine.

When they approached the shinigami, the shinigami saw them and was shaking in fear.

Toshiro said, "Can I buy one copy?"

The shinigami said, "Captain Hitsugaya, there is no need to buy all captains and lieutenants get it for free."

The shinigami gave the two of them the magazine and immediately ran off.

When Toshiro flipped to the latest news section he was in shock.

He and Momo saw a big picture of them kissing passionately at night in granny's house.

Toshiro said, "Momo, let's go to squad 9 barracks and sort this out."

Momo nodded and both of them left for squad 9 barracks.

On the way there they saw Rangiku.

Rangiku said, "Hi captain, hi Momo"

Both of them said hi to her.

Rangiku said, "I saw the picture of both of you kissing, the two of you really look like a cute couple."

Both of them were blushing heavily.

Toshiro said, "Have you done your paperwork already?"

Rangiku immediately ran away.

Both of them continued to walk towards the squad 9 barracks.

Meanwhile at the Seireitei Library

Captain Unohana, Kyoraku and Ukitake were searching of books that talk about their childhood legend.

They found a few books about the dragon and the legend but there was nothing about the phoenix.

Then Captain Unohana went to ask the head librarian.

She said, "Hi, do you know are there any books about the phoenix that there are still in the library."

The head librarian replied, "Sorry Captain Unohana they were all loaned out already and may not be returned so soon."

She said, "May I know who borrowed it as we need the information due to a secret investigation."

The head librarian said, "Sure no problem, let me check for you."

The head librarian went to the computer and checked then return back to captain Unohana.

Captain Unohana said, "Have you found out?"

The head librarian nodded and said, "The books about the phoenix were borrowed by Lieutenant Momo Hinamori of squad 5."

Captain Unohana said, "Thank you for your help."

Captain Unohana walked towards the two other captains.

She said, "I am going to ask Lieutenant Hinamori the reasons on why she borrowed books about phoenix and I would ask her to pass the books to us for investigation."

Captain Kyoraku said, "Captain Unohana, what about I would ask her on your behalf?"

Captain Unohana said, "Thank you for your offer but I do not need help."

Captain Kyoraku sighs as he thinks that things would get complicated and messy between Momo and Captain Unohana.
