The Frozen World || Chapter 3 - The Demon and The Angel

When waking up there was nothing but bars around that gave her the idea she was being in a cell. What has happened since the arrival? Why was she in the cell? Did they catch her? The Shinigami have her for treason against them? No…this place was different with no one wearing black shinigami robes at all. It was only with white robes which she spotted someone sitting in the room waiting for her to wake up.

Snowy white hair was shown within the room with his eyes closed so she could not see who it was directly. He moved off the chair in walking up to the bars. Opening his eyes there they were the teal eyes of her childhood friend who watched her with sorrow. He wanted to ask her everything that has happened. He only had brief moment with her. Aizen would require him once again. “Hinamori…” Those were his only words which caused the young brunette to shiver with a feeling of the past.

Standing up her body was not chained or nothing only she had noticed her clothing has changed with white dress. Underneath the dress was some black leg stockings which she did not find comfortable. Her hair had been down with sleeves down to her fingers with a shape of a V on her palm. Why did they change her clothing? To make her one of them? Or was this some sick trick that she is still dreaming. “What are you doing here?” The boy voice was cold toward the female who he just spoke to. Hinamori remained quiet in taking everything in. Shiro-chan was acting cold towards her like he always did but it was different. Even his eyes reflected those same coldness inside her chocolate orbs which was warm. 

“Shiro-chan….I…” She started feeling those eyes shift away from her own. “You should have stayed. Now you can’t leave by Aizen’s orders do you understand? Nor would I help you. I didn’t want you to be here! Why didn’t you wait for me?” He bit his bottom lip afraid to look her way. Such a foolish girl indeed…she did not wait for me. Hinamori eyes opened up wide in seeing his expression. “What do you mean wait for you? I heard you never existed and you expect me to just sit back and think my friend was a fake!? Shiro-chan…I came to find out answers from you. I take risks I do it because you are the one person who saved me.” Her words blurted out right in front of him out of emotion toward her best friend. Hitsugaya remained quiet in hearing her words toward him. He knew that the Soul Society never wanted her to know the truth. That was foolish of them to hide such a thing. Now he is dealing with it… “Just stay here. There nothing more you can do… you are now a prisoner and your questioning have to wait.” With those last words he walked up toward the door in talking to the guard. “Keep her here that is an order. If you disobey I will kill you.” His voice sounded sinister almost as if he enjoyed it. On his face was a dark smirk upon his features.

Momo stared in shock over what just happened. Shiro….killing? Was it true? Was he the killer to those families? And why would he even do this? The guard stood in fear watching the prince leave to go see his Father. “Yes at once my Prince.” 

Back in the Soul Society there was a riot over where the 5^th fukutaichou had gone. Haru feet stomped over to Hinamori’s room. He has heard that Hinamori had not reported into their Taichou. After yelling at her he should have stayed by her side that night. Instead he walked off to let his steam out. What a fool he was! “Hina-chan…I am sorry about last night I was angry. Is that why you stayed inside?” He waited for a response to hear her yelling or saying ‘go away.’  He waited for a few minutes thinking maybe she fallen asleep. Crossing his arms, he tilts his head off to the head unaware that she was not even in the room.

“Trouble, trouble!” Haru yelled down the hall trying to find his Fukutaichou which he did not mean to send her away. Did she go after him…? Damn! He so in trouble by his Taichou and everyone here by blurting out such information that was top secret. This child…he is, he is….! The boy who never should be named in this place of the Soul Society. 

The footsteps in the 10^th division drove a blonde hair girl crazy with fear. Had her members been searching for her? This wasn’t good… with her Taichou being absent she follows orders by Rangiku Matsumoto who took the lead since he left with Aizen. The truth was he was nothing but a murder behind the scenes. “Where is Haku?!” The voice roared from Haru’s voice toward the lowly subordinates. “I need to speak with her, now come on! OUT WITH IT!” The members pointed down the hall to her room. “D-Down there.” Haru gave the man a serious look knowing he was one of the lowlifes that attacked her. “Thank you.” His feet stomped over to the door. He opened it, his eyes serious as if nothing could break his expression. “Haku, I need your assistance it is a top secret mission.” He walked in the room slowly knowing they be listening. “And…your members can’t come. Can you be ready by the front gate in a few?” He turned his expression toward the young shinigami. His eyes were soft with warmth of giving her the okay. Nodding her head, she gave him the okay that to be ready in a five minutes. “I will be ready soon. I just need to bathe so we can get ready to go.”  

Haru left the room; his hand closed the door quickly in waiting for Haku to be done with whatever she needs to do. He thought she be enough on this little trip. Momo… why did you go after someone like that? Why did this have to happen? He didn’t understand why. Why….? 

Haku was ready within twenty minutes with her mission to be headed out to Haru’s command. Whatever it was she knew he was serious by his eyes. We both left to be right in front of the gate as he said but this he spoke of being ‘top secret’ what kind of secret? "Haku… we need to keep this from your Fukutaichou and my Taichou. You should know that Hinamori been gone for today.” Haku expression widens seeing his was serious with a look of worry. “I can’t help but get the feeling she went to Hueco Mundo.” The blonde knew this be a top secret mission that only they could go to but how would they get there? “I need you to hide your spiritual pressure. At least till we get there. I am sure they know we gone. However…I need to do this. I need to for Hinamori! He could kill her at any given time.” Bri knew that Haru was worried about what would happen if she was killed. Haru be filled with rage. A deep rage that would not be witness for anyone. “I understand…I will do my best.” 

“Well…let’s go!” Haru and Haku both put a barrier on their reiatsu to hide where they went. Moving in the portal the two went in secret like agents to save their friend. Haku wanted to save Hinamori for what she done for her that day. She saved her… It has to be done. They had to go alone without their help from the Shinigami. As of today they could be traitors. 

Back in Hueco Mundo Momo Hinamori looked at the door that was closed in the room. What has happened to Shiro-chan? Was he…the same? No, he was one of them an Espada---her enemy. That pain had sunk in deeply as if a blade pierced her in the chest. How can she move on? “Shiro-chan…” Suddenly the guard opened the door hearing that a few people were terrified. “Shinigami … do you love him?” Momo eyes opened up wide thinking of that question. The question that really been wondering since she heard of what he was. “….I do.” The guard walked up to her gate to look right into her eyes. “Don’t love him. You need to forget this man. He nothing but a murder! He kill you if you’re some fool to get close to that monster…” Hinamori closed her eyes tightly. She could not believe he was a monster. Perhaps they say that because he killed… how could he do this? What is he? “Then…can you tell me why he did it? Why he kills?” 

The guard shook his head knowing he be breaking a rule however she been brought here safe and not harmed. What was Aizen planning? Hinamori could care less what that mad man would want to do. In fact, she rather see him die right in front of him for his acts toward her. Seeing him by Toshiro side made her want to throw up. Why would he….work with Aizen? Didn’t he know what Aizen did? The brunette was lost in thought when a tall figure came into the room. “Hinamori…” The male spoke in a low voice. “Come.” Aizen voice came into the room with a bit of cunning from that smirk on his face. Without another second the guard would let the chains drop only to let Hinamori walk to Aizen. He would whisper softly only she would hear. “Be careful…” 

 Those last words made her feel cautious to be careful around her when she walked behind Aizen. What…to be careful of?

“Our Prince had to take care of things actually… we have two of your friends coming.” He stopped to point out toward the window they passed. Hinamori felt outside there was a familiar reiatsu who she knew by the feel. “Haru-kun…!” The brunette ran to the small window afraid to watch them die because of her. “Don’t kill them! P-Please…don’t!” She begged her ex Taichou. “Please…” The brown eyed male watched outside knowing his son would be having his fun with them before they captured them. Perhaps could he kill his third seat and a best friend to Hinamori? “Can you do it I wonder…?” 

Outside the white castle there be a battle going on between the two shinigami’s against their former friend. “Such a waste of time…you both can’t kill me.” The white prodigy would speak cold towards the two shinigami who been caught by him. Haru pulled out his zanpakuto ready to fight him. “Haku… stay back, alright?” Bri knew that she be in the way to fight her Taichou together with Haru. In fact, her whole body was shaking just facing him right now, right here. She couldn’t even call out her zanpakuto. He looked emotionless like a dead doll with no feelings at all. Toshiro moved behind Haru without giving the chance for Haku to flee. “Too slow!” He swings the sword right at Haru’s back in slashing him quickly with one attack. The attack sent Haru back a few feet into the sand. “HARU-KUN?!” The white haired boy would walk up to Haku slowly seeing she was frozen with fear. He hated how Haru got her involved as well. Perhaps Hinamori came due to him coming after her. Such a fool… “….Run away.” Toshiro warned her with a expression she never seen before. “Unless you want to die, I suggest you run away and leave this place. Back to your home with Matsumoto-san.” His voice was quiet with a concern for her. Being his third seat he worried for her a lot. 

‘Run away…’ His voice echoed in her mind afraid to hear those words by him. He wanted Hinamori and myself included to not get hurt. Even so, hearing those words did not stop her from moving at all. Haru could feel his back was bleeding from that simple would with ice on his sword. “Damn brat…” He got up from the sand slowly. “You think we run just because you got o---“ The albino boy flash step right in front of Haru in a quick second without the two of them moving at all. “…..” Bri eyes were blinking. Did she see her Taichou move? Why didn’t he strike her down? It was as if he didn’t want to harm her at all… Haru grabbed his zanpakuto in his right hand quickly ready to strike. Before his attack could continue Toshiro stepped on his hand with his left foot. “…You are stupid aren’t you?” He stepped harder on Haru’s hand with his shoe. “You are a waste of my time… even so; I hate you for bringing them into this!” His right foot would raise against Haru’s face. 

Two blue eyes would widen even more seeing Toshiro was attacking Haru. This….no, this isn’t Toshiro. “…Stop.” Toshiro continued to kick Haru knowing he was held down by his foot. “….No, stop it.” Haru maroon eyes looked over at Haku who was starting to lose it. “Bri…chan.” Toshiro turned his head over to Haku. He noticed her tears that came down his face right in the scene that was happening. He flash step over to Haku with his hands behind her. “Bri…” Haru got up after being beaten so many times by Toshiro who had a powerful kick. “Don’t touch her!” The silver haired boy ran toward Toshiro and Bri with rage inside of his eyes. With one hand around Bri he swings his sword down causing ice to come out toward Haru in hitting him backwards. “Haku…you need to run. Escape bef---“ He fell down with his head right on Bri’s chest. He felt tired in which using all of his energy in one attack. “Run….just run…” 

Haku cheeks turned bright red feeling his face land right into her chest. He was taller than her in height so he was too heavy for her to run away. “Taichou….” She noticed two guards appeared right by  Haku and Toshiro. “…What about the girl?” One guard looked at Toshiro then at Haku. “Kill her.” Toshiro heard the words they spoke with one strike he cut one guard in half with his sword. Reiatsu was rising inside the albino boy who watched the remaining guard. “Touch her…then you join your friend that got slashed into. Do not test me…” He said with a cold serious tone. Haku eyes widen seeing blood splatter across the sand field right before her very eyes. “Tai…chou.” His clothing was different but still his stance was the same during the hollow attack back when she joined. He saved her back then with his back facing her with that same stance. The same voice as well in warning whoever harmed her will die. “Y-Yes, my Prince…. Please forgive us for being rude.” He went on his knees to bow toward the Prince.

Toshiro turned his head over to Haku who sat there confused by the sudden name calling. “From now on…call me Prince.” He picked Haku by her arm in pulling her close. “You are now my slave.” He spoke right into her ear. 

As of right now he knew Aizen would have her be killed. It enjoy him however he was just happy seeing the two people important to his life. Haku he found when she was near death. He had saved her by becoming her friend. That he over joyed hearing she had his same power. Haku….Bri. His third seat who joined with his help of taking her to the academy. She was just someone he met. Aizen…would never let her live. He enjoy watching me kill her slowly. For now he hopes that she will live. For now.

Toshiro had taken Bri to a cell so a guard would watch over her in case she tried to run. Funny he told her to run yet she did not. Asking someone to run such as her is impossible. “As for that other shinigami….” He thought about how much Hinamori cared about him. “Kill him.” He left down the hall without regretting his decision. He needed to help Haku escape so

 me how.  Perhaps when he becomes King she will become his slave even then. Hinamori will be his queen without a doubt.

“I wonder if Hinamori will forgive me….” He walked down the hall to notice Hinamori stood by Aizen. Stopping his feet watched Aizen closely. Without glancing her way he knew she was informed over the whole thing. He waited to hear Aizen’s next order in which he did not want to disobey his orders. Even if it meant his very life he would protect Hinamori forever.

The Frozen World || Chapter 2 - The Inner Truth

The world began to spin around her with memories of the past flowing through her like a movie scene of seeing everything you have forgotten. That can’t be the truth! It can’t be. No, no, no! Shiro-chan was real. He was! Hands gripped onto her head in feeling the madness was starting. Shiro-chan… I know you are real. Why is this happening? Why doesn’t he remember? Why?! 

Without a second thought; her feet pounded against the ground in thought of asking her Taichou. What if he gives the same answer? Saying there was no such name in this world… What could she do then? Just accept the fact he is dead. What if they erased her memories or gave her some fake lie to live. Aizen… he could have had this planned. It has to be him! She must go into research at the library. Or somehow stop her reiatsu from leaking out so the records in central 46 are easy to access. 

Haru was left with Miko right outside her room which he blinked is eyes in confusion. “Hina-chan…?” He noticed Miko was taking some fish right inside of his mouth. “Such a silly creature.” He closed the door just a crack for the cat to walk in and out as he pleased. He must stay here in case someone comes into the room in search for Hinamori’s stuff. That won’t happen! As her guardian he will do everything to protect what is hers. Hina-chan…I will be waiting! 

Feet pounded on the ground in rush toward the central 46 building which is where the law of the Soul Society was forced. A captain has no authority to stop their decisions even if they wish to. Her hair was blowing in the wind to rush over toward the building. This she has to find out on her own. Even if it’s painful to hear the truth. It was empty due to all of them being slaughtered by Aizen. Her footsteps took each step with care slowly toward the entrance in the lower archives. She almost was there to find out if what Haru says is true. It wouldn’t be true. It can’t! 

Once inside; her memories of this place came to when Aizen came back to life with Gin standing in the room. That was when the memories of his blade collide with her chest. Blood splattered around her to that memory she doesn’t even know if it was real or not.  When she approached the books there was a lot to search for. One being she had to search for Toshiro’s name. It was a name that said ‘top secret’ on the book as if he had some secret. “Shiro-chan….”  

The story inside had of what he did as a young child which seemed normal. It was the next page that shocked her in reading what was to come. “Ten murders before he joined as a shinigami? No…that is not possible!” Her eyes snapped shut in dropping the book onto the ground. Shiro-chan would never do something like this…! They have to be a lie. Picking up the book, she kept it against her chest in leaving the place quickly before someone would come down for research. When she arrived there was a peach tree where they always hang out. Tears came flowing down her cheeks in hearing about this news. He was a murder…? He killed families and even before a shinigami? Then why didn’t he kill her? That didn’t make sense after all if he was a killer then he should be able to do it. Did he have some sort of problem? But what most of all shocked her was that the rest of the pages were blank. Or perhaps someone erased it. The only truth she had was murder for the families. If that is true then he must be in Hueco Mundo. She had heard Aizen regroup there since his betrayal. 

Closing the book right in front of her there be two more tears from her eyes. “I have to go…I have to question him myself.” That was the true words that set the journey for me. I have to find out myself what or why he was doing those awful things. I have to go! 

When arriving back at the room; there was someone sitting leaning against the wall. It had been Haru who was leaning against that wall. “Haru-kun…you waited all this time for me?” She knew that he would not leave the room for anyone to get in. Raising a finger, a soft finger would poke right up against his cheek. He was drooling from his lips with a cute expression. Hinamori couldn’t help but laugh at his expression. Her third seat was just adorable being belief when she watched him sit there with his head leaning against the wall. Sitting beside him her head would lean against his in taking a quick nap. 

It was nightfall when the two had woken up with their bodies lying side by side. Hinamori was the first to wake up in seeing Haru had waited once again in sitting on the floor inside of her room. “Hina-chan!” He called out. Her eyes opened up wide in feeling the time passed by in her dreams. There again she met her future self in warning her about Toshiro. She did not tell her what would happen. If she were to follow to Hueco Mundo it would not be a peaceful place to go. She has no other choice. Hinamori had her mind set. That was in seeing Toshiro Hitsugaya in getting the answers out of him! “Hina-chan…” Haru called out once again. 

“Ah, gomen…I seem to be in a daze. I actually didn’t get anything done. Gomen…” Hinamori said sorry to her third seat who also doesn’t do any work. How would she be a great example if she starts to slack off. Haru had a serious look on his face over the next matter he was going to speak of. “Where did you find this?” He asked, maroon eyes gazed right into her chocolate ones. Hinamori had let her guard down in sleeping next to him. Of course he looked at it. He must have known and kept it a secret from her to hide the fact her friend was a murder. A killer to be a betrayal to all of the shinigami who live here in the Seireitei. “I found it lying around. I-I just tend to pick it up. I did not read anything from it to be honest I was going to return it back to where it belongs.” She informed him with a lie that was not so believable. 

Of course he would see that she lied to where it had come from. “Hina-chan…this book is from the central 46 records which is where criminals or top secrets are meant to stay secret. You know this…yet you lie and say it happened to be outside of that place. Don’t be such a fool! I know what I see here.” His voice raised within the room which had scared Hinamori a bit. Never have she seen him this angry before or even shout at her. Haru let out a sigh from his lips softly. “I’m sorry…Hina-chan. It’s just that this book we didn’t mean to keep it a secret. They told me to keep quiet over your friend. This is why to save you from the pain. To erase what knowledge you would know of him…that is why we lied. But it is not just that…!” Haru stood up from the floor. “Never ever speak of this to anyone. You do realize that don’t you?” Without another word he left with the book and closed the door with his feet touching the ground slowly. 

Sitting alone her whole body froze in his words. Keep it a secret? She suppose no one else would believe her or think she found out something secret. Would they erase her memory? This had to be done. She knew what Haru said was pointless that following after a murder was wrong. Gomen….Haru-kun. I can’t stay here knowing my friend is somewhere else. I have to find out who or what he is. Even if I die in the process you will always be my third seat no matter what.

She left no note for anyone to know where she went in the matter of Haru. Would he know? Well she left Miko with some food to know in the morning Haru will go after her if he can. Using her shunpo she had left to go to Hueco Mundo. It was not a simple task just for anyone. That had to be opened by someone else. Someone who know how to enter without the Soul Society knowing of it. Hinamori had learned how to open it without Urahara or the Soul Society’s help. That secret she learned from one of the books inside. Running down the road it had created her own reiatsu which skilled in her own way. She could run on the road without making it break and falling down into the dark abyss. 

Shiro-chan…please wait for me. I know me finding you will be a surprise unless you are the killer you have no choice but to strike me down. That you will do. Also knowing that I will be killed will upset the Shinigami. Your friends unless you were playing the act like Aizen did. Please….tell me the truth Shiro-chan! Who or what are you?

When arriving there was nothing but sand around with no sun. The moon was held up in the sky being not full but crimson. This place seemed to be quiet with nothing much but dead silence. Shiro-chan is here…? In this place? Taking a few steps she could feel something was coming. It was not expected her presence would be found so quickly being Aizen’s lair. I will be ready for anything! Even if I have to face Shiro myself. I want to know everything about him. The good and the bad of what he done to know why he done it. I come only for that reason…. I do not care what happens to Aizen to be honest I hope he rots. Those feelings will never change how I feel as of now. Shiro-chan was my whole world in this universe I only want to be close to him. Even if I turn out to be evil myself. I will support him in every way. 

Two arrancars approached the girl from behind without letting them know of her presence. Quickly one hand hit the back of Hinamori’s neck in knocking her out. It was two blink seconds that she noticed arrancars which was too late to respond. Falling forward, her body landed in one arrancars arms. “Good.. bring her back to Lord Aizen immediately. Along with Prince to examine the girl as ordered.” The other arrancars followed orders to both not wanting to be slain for such acts in killing the girl. It was then that being brought to this place was not wanting to get caught. In her inner thoughts she had believed Shiro came. It was not that---her life was about to change forever in meeting the person she hated the most.

“We have come Lord Aizen and Prince.” The two arrancars dropped the girl’s body in revealing who has come to the Hueco Mundo alone with no back up. The prince stared at the body with his teal eyes opening up wide in shock. Hinamori…?! Why are you here? The fool! He gripped the chair with one hand to watch the girl closely in knowing that Aizen had plans for her to come. Or did she come on her own free will? He has to watch and see what will happen to confront her for coming without anything to back it up. Stupid….girl.

The Frozen World || Chapter 1 - Dreams

The spring blossoms aroma came through the window when the brunette eyes remained closed from her dreams. Dreams of something darker than any nightmare could happen in this inner world. Inside that world there was someone waiting for only me. Her words, her actions seemed to be the same as mine. Only difference we aren’t the same in one thing… Time was the difference in this inner world. It could be an illusion all made up to confuse the girl from reality. She had to confront Toshiro about the truth. What she saw… it was something that frightened to her very soul. 

Shiro-chan…would you do this?

The world had crumbled into nothing but ice with bodies lying around after the damaged that was done. A ice castle was in this world that came to the brunette’s eyes. Why…? What has happened here? She would question around her afraid to hear the truth. Could someone with other ice powers attack the Soul Society? It was all a fake dream to scare her. Or why would she dream such a thing…? It was then that a girl with short hair appeared before her with a warm smile. Thus her eyes opening up widely in letting out a grasp of air. It…can’t be! Her mirror had appeared right before her. Could it be….a clone? 

The older Hinamori hair would swing left to right in watching her younger self stare with shock. “Have I scared you?” The girl laughed softly in watching her reaction. “Yes…I am you. This is our future of the Soul Society.” After her words were uttered there was a great sadness behind those words. “…It is something you will find out in your life if you choose it. You can’t escape it even if I were to warn you now.”  She took one step forward in watching the ground carefully to not slip. “Also the Shiro you know is not the same in your world. He is….well; you will see soon enough what he has become.” The younger Hinamori whole body began to shake by her words. ‘Shiro-chan you know is not the same in your world…well; you will see soon enough what he has become.’ Nani…?! What he has become? I don’t understand what she means by these words. It can’t be! Shiro-chan is Shiro. He never change! Never…he told me he would not. 

“You’re wrong! He never change just because you say so. Even if you are me in the future or whatever this is. Shiro-chan will remain the same. He is my….” Her words paused with the two tears streaming down her cheeks. “He is my Shiro-chan! Always will be no matter what you say.”  

The other Hinamori turned to raise her hand toward the robes gently. “Go see for yourself…go see what you can not here.” Once she said that the world instantly started to change. The girl started to fade in disappearing into ice as the brunette opened her eyes there was her third seat. Haru Akarui was recently seated to this rank in a month after the battle with the full bringers. He was lazy along with her Taichou and also picky when his work will be done. “Hina-chan…are you feeling alright?” The brunette eyes were red in watching him. She must have been out of it from that dream. How could she not answer…? He must have been pounding in her room constantly to hear for her answer. “Ah, gomen Haru-san… I really must have been out of it.” A warm smile showed up on her face. “I be up in a moment…could you give me a minute?”

Haru warm smile appeared with her one request of the matter. Without a single word he left the room with that goofy smile he always wore when seeing Hinamori. Feet would stand up from her bed in moving over toward the bathroom that was in place inside of her room thankfully she could just wake up and take a quick bath. Sliding her feet across the floor there she heard her small cat. The few meows would echo in the room with the orange little kitty following quickly after her. “Miko… I need to get ready.” The soft giggles would leave from her lips. Miko did not listen and continued to meow after her. Hinamori let her cat stay in the bathroom as she took her bath. The soft purring kept her calm in the words that older Hinamori spoke of. The words of her own friend being different. She didn’t believe those words… no way would he change. Why would he change when he been by her side this whole time. She didn’t want to believe. No… she wanted to ignore what that girl said. He won’t do it. But deep in her heart she wondered what that older self could mean…. 

The bath did take fifteen minutes with her scrubbing her hair till the soap got all through her long hair. It was something she thought about maybe a haircut. Would that look cute? She would have to ask Rangiku for some help in that opinion. “I have to get to work now…” Those words were easier said than done as her two men in her group always tend to give her trouble. Using a towel against her body there would be her cat Miko meowing at her to get some food. “Miko… I will get you your food in a second.” The brunette would sigh in listening to her cat meow around the room. 

Walking inside of her room there was the scent of the rain mixed with the flowers she planted around the fifth division. Outside there was a light coming from the window with giving gentle warmth to the world from within her thoughts that kept bothering her after another. Picking up her white kimono, she would slip it through her arms in placing it still on her shoulders. Once the clothing was set just right her hands got the black robe on next in tying both of them together with the white sash in a tight bow. The only thing left now is to fix her hair which she had felt that a bun today would be the normal hair style. “I think today two pony tails be perfect!” The brunette chirped happily in moving over toward the bathroom in grabbing two pony tail holders. 

One was purple while the other pink. Grabbing her brush, the handle felt soft and squishy that was bought in the world of the living. It was quite useful being here and unable to buy another. “I wonder what Shiro-chan will think. No, no! I can’t think like that.”  Her eyes closed for a moment in thinking of the other girl. What did he do that was so serious? Why would he eve--- The thoughts stopped when Miko scratched on the door of her room. “Miko, stop that!” She yelled in frustration with her eyebrows narrowing.  Wrapping the ponytail around each hair; she could see in the mirror it was perfect for going out with her hair in a manner of going out. “I am ready now!”  Swinging her hair, she marched right toward the door in opening it slowly with a creak. Her cat Miko ran off to cause some mischief somewhere else. “Miko….that cat better not cause some trouble.” She whispered softly with her cheeks puffing out a bit. 

“H-i-n-a-m-o-r-i-c-h-a-n.” A voice would come up in front of her with the shadow covering her vision of sight. It was Haru who came up close with his arms around her. “You look cute today.” His body would move against hers in wrapping his arms around her slowly. “H-Haru-kun! What are you doing? We should get to work… I need to see someone today so I will leave the paperwork to you.” She moved away from Haru. “Who would you need to see…? Who do you have to see, Hina-chan?” His arms still remained around the small petite. A pout appeared on her face over his actions in still holding her close. As always Haru wasn’t the type to give up so easily. “I want to see Shiro-chan. I need to ask him some things that occurred to me. I am worried about something and he may know what to do.” 

Haru eyes opened up with concern over this person. “Shiro-chan…?” Hinamori looked up at Haru surprised. She did mention of this to Haru didn’t she? He probably spaced it since he sleeps everywhere. Her lips would press upward toward him. “Shiro-chan is my best friend. We went to live together in the Rukongai back when we were little. Toshiro Hitsugaya is his name. You often call him by this nickname.” Hinamori spoke with a soft tone from her lips in thinking over the past. “I don’t know anyone by that name, Hina-chan. Are you certain you got their name wrong?”  Two big chocolate orbs widen by his choice of words. No…that can’t be right! She was certain Shiro-chan and her were together. How could she get that wrong? “There ain’ been anyone by that name that I know of. Could ya have got it wrong, Hina-chan?” 

The whole world began to circle around her in the words Haru spoke of and her future self. What is happening…? Why is she hearing such lies? Eyes opened wide toward the truth of his words. Shiro-chan….never existed? How could this be possible?! 

Shiro-chan…..you have to be real!
