Hiya

Hey! It's the final chapter! I'm ending this story, so I can write another one. I don't have the ability to write two stories at a time. Hehe pretty pathetic no?

Note – If you like Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku pairing, you can check out my other story. It's called 'That's what I see'.

"Do… you want to become friends? I mean, we're bonding and stuff right? And I don't have many friends." Miyuki asked. Now it was her turn to look away in embarrassment.

Hinamori looked at her and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! Of course! I would love to be your friend."

"Thank you…" Miyuki whispered.

--

"Man! That hollow is good at stealth! No trace of it anywhere! How long has it been?" Kakkuya asked, obviously frustrated.

The two captains have been searching nonstop to find the hollow's nest to kill it and to rescue their companions.

Hitsugaya sighed deeply, but he was better at hiding his frustration than the 5th captain. "One night has already passed. We only have 2 days to kill this Hollow now."

Thunder interrupted their search and rain began to pour heavily from the skies again. Suddenly the two captains could hear galloping coming closer and closer. Hitsugaya and Kakkuya put their hands on the hilt of their swords bracing themselves for anything. At first everything was very silent. The two captains perked up their ears. Suddenly in lightening speed, the horse-like Hollow sped past them before either of them had any chance to react.

"After it!" Hitsugaya yelled through the noise of the rain.

The two followed the giant Hollow through the dense forest with much difficulty. The rain only made it harder for them to track it. Soon, the captains fell behind, catching their breaths.

"Damn." Toushiro mumbled.

Up ahead, they could hear the Hollow roar as it neared its nest. The two taichous soon ran again to catch up and before they were to late.

--

Hinamori gasped loudly. "Did you hear that Miyuki?" She asked looking over to her new friend.

Miyuki had the same surprised look that Momo did and nodded. "It was the Hollow we have to kill. Are you ready to fight it?"

Momo looked worried but soon disappeared as she replied, "Of coarse! We have to show the captains that we are capable of doing something useful instead of being in the way!"

Miyuki looked at the determination that Hinamori showed and smiled brightly. "Right! Don't worry, we'll watch each other's back!"

"Alright! Get ready!" Momo said, smiling as well.

The two got up after their recovery from the last encounter with the beast. They slowly got their swords out and got in a battling position. The air was tense as their hearts began to beat twice as hard.

Soon there was a violent roar that ripped through the air.

"…Here it comes!" Miyuki yelled as the Hollow advanced quickly towards them.

"Snap Tobiume!" Hinamori called forth her fighting companion and her sword took its unique shape.

"Awaken Satsukai!" (Made it up) Miyuki calling her own as green leaves surrounded her.

Momo attacked first, embedding a deep cut into the Hollow's rib cage. The monster roared again, but only in pain as it thrashed its body around. The tail almost slashed Miyuki but she acted quickly and cut it off. The blood leaked out on both wounds as it cried out again.

"There!" Momo heard Kakkuya's voice outside the cave.

The girls could see that they couldn't enter because the Hollow put a powerful barrier in the mouth of the cave.

"Watch out!" Toushiro called out, bringing the girls out of their thoughts.

The animal ran rapidly towards Momo at full speed, looking like it was going to eat her alive. Hinamori's eyes widened but regained her posture and dodged the tackle. But when she got out of the way, Momo didn't notice Miyuki standing behind her and now the Hollow was going towards her.

Miyuki gasped but her sword created a tornado of leaves that sent the Hollow flying, landing head first to the opposite wall. It didn't move at all. And it was not breathing.

'Is it dead?' Hinamori thought.

The two girls looked at each other and nodded. They walked slowly towards the beast with extreme caution. Suddenly its deadly eyes opened and head butted the two girls with its huge head. They crashed to the floor together, coughing up some blood in the process.

"Momo! Miyuki!" The captains yelled, still trying to break the barrier.

'No I can't afford to be weak at this time! Fight the pain!' Hinamori ignoring the agonizing pain in her body ran towards the fallen beast and stabbed the neck of the Hollow with her sword.

Hinamori soon heard another stabbing noise and saw that Miyuki had soon joined her and stabbed the Hollow in the chest.

The animal gave out a load screech as it turned to dark ashes. The barrier disappeared along with it and the captains ran towards them.

Momo could not hear them clearly and her vision was blurry. She heard something fall down and realized that Miyuki had collapsed. Hinamori decided to join her and fell unconscious next to the violet haired girl.

--

Hinamori woke up due to the blazing sunlight on her pale skin. She blinked a few times to adjust her sight against the light. When she did, she sat up and looked around confusingly. It was the hospital of the fourth division.

"Ah, so you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Hinamori jumped a bit and saw her love in a chair next to her that she didn't notice before.

"Shiro-chan!" She gasped.

Toushiro's eye's twitched once but smirked a bit. "I told you not to call me that, but at a time like this, it's an acception."

Hinamori laughed and offered a thank you, then asked, "How did I end up here?"

"I carried you. How else?" Hitsugaya answered, amused that a blush creped up to her face.

"I-is the Hollow dead?" Momo asked t change the subject.

"Yes, all thanks to you and Miyuki…Momo." Hitsugaya called her name suddenly.

"Y-yeah? What is it?"

Hitsugaya stood up and walked towards her, getting really close to her. They were only inches apart.

"I'm really proud of you." He whispered and closed the gap between them to give her a sweet kiss.

When they broke apart, Toushiro immediately said, "I love you Momo."

Hinamori's eyes widened but then smiled shyly. "I love you t-too."

Hitsugaya offered his hand and Hinamori took it gingerly. He helped her get up and told her to follow him.

At first Hinamori was confused but when she stepped outside, Momo was surprised. It was beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms floating in the air; pouring from the trees onto the floor.

"Wow" Hinamori said following Toushiro and sitting beside him under a tree.

--

At a distance, a pair of gentle blue eyes saw the couple through the hospital window. She smiled at the two, feeling happy for them. A moment later, she heard a knock on the door and heard Unohana taichou saying that she had a visitor.

"I have a visitor? Who would want visit me?" Miyuki said perplexed.

Soon a door opened to reveal the fifth captain, Kakkuya. "Hey there! How ya feeling?"

"Very good thank you… If you don't mind me asking though, what are you doing here captain?" Miyuki asked, wondering why Kakkuya had taken his time to visit somebody like her.

"I wanted to visit you. Why else? Oh! And to give you these." Kakkuya handed Miyuki beautiful sapphire flowers.

Miyuki gasped, surprised to even get a gift. "T-thank you so much! But you didn't have to go through the trouble…"

"Huh? I just wanted get you these because it reminded me of your eyes! Same sapphire blue!" Kakkuya said smiling and looking her in the eyes with his red ones.

Miyuki blushed and looked away in embarrassment. "T-thank you captain."

"No prob. Anyway, do you know someone by the name of Sawajira Kazya?"

"Of c-course I do! He was my savior!" Miyuki was clearly shocked that the captain knew him.

"So you're the Miyuki he was talking about!"

"You know him?"

"Of course I do. He was my best friend! You and I met once, but I guess you forgot me. Heh, everyone seems to forget me!" He joked.

Miyuki giggled and the two laughed and talked together and eventually got closer.

--

"Nice huh?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Yeah! It's really pretty! You like it too, right?" Momo answered, smiling like there's no tomorrow.

"Yes…but"

"But..?" Hinamori repeated.

"But… I like you more" Hitsugaya said, pulling Momo closer and before she could say or think anything, Hitsugaya kissed her the second time.

During the passionate kiss, Hinamori could feel her inner self that was silent all this time nod her head in approval.

Good going you saint.
