I do not own Shugo Chara or Bleach. They belong to their respectful owners.

(Soul Society, Seireitei)

"Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, you're mission is to go to the Seiyo region of Japan. There has been a suspicious increase in the amount of Hollow activity there and we want you to investigate. You have been enrolled in the local academy so you can don't look inconspicuous and further your investigation. You and your lieutenant must get to the bottom of this!" Was the order of Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

"I understand sir," Hitsugaya nodded.

"You both will have an apartment for your stay. This is a long-term mission Toshiro."

(Seiyo Region, Seiyo Academy)

It was just another day of school for Hinamori Amu and the guardians. Amu was walking besides Rima and Yaya while Tadase and Nadehiko walked behind them.

Yaya yapped excitedly, "Did you hear about the new student transferring here?"

Amu was a bit shocked at the news, "R-really? A new student!" Suddenly something caught Amu's eyes. Amu stopped where she was a boy about her age with spiky snow while hair and cold distant teal eyes. He was giving freezing looks to anyone who was staring at him. Because of his odd looks, Amu did not notice the Seiyo Academy boy's uniform he was wearing.

(Class)

"Class, this is the new student transferring into our class, Toshiro Hitsugaya-san!" Nikaidou-sensei said cheerfully. "Toshiro-kun, why don't you say something to the class."

Toshiro sighed and glace a cold leer to the class, "Whatever…"

"S-so…cold…" was the class's reaction.

Something in Amu's head clicked, 'It's the same boy I saw before. What a cold distant character he has,'

(After School, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto's apartment)

"So Hitsugaya-taichou how was your first day in school?" Rangiku asked.

Toshiro tossed his backpack on the table, "Uneventful." He replied blandly.

"Well did you learn anything about the Hollows?"

"Don't be stupid Matsumoto, of course not. All I learned there is that the student council has a group called the Guardians. They're supposed to protect the school or something," Hitsugaya scowled, "How childish."

"Eh? But taichou, this is a perfect opportunity for you to finally act like a kid and have some kiddy friends! You never act like a real kid back in Soul Society!" Matsumoto pointed out brushing a strawberry blond lock behind her ear.

"I am the captain of the 10th division; I don't have time for human friends," Was Toshiro's cold reply.

(Toshiro's room, Apartment)

Toshiro plopped on the bed he was given wearing blue pajamas. The room was perfectly normal, no poster or bright colors like a normal boy his age would have. Finally relaxed after a nice hot shower, Toshiro turned and stared at the ceiling. The words from his conversation with Matsumoto replayed in his head, "Eh? But taichou, this is a perfect opportunity for you to finally act like a kid and have some kiddy friends! You never act like a real kid back in Soul Society!"

"Feh, why am I thinking about this," Hitsugaya grumbled clenching his fists. He turned to his side. 'I have to admit the way those guardians walked around was kind of cool…' Toshiro shook his head. 'No! Bad Hitsugaya! Stop thinking like that! You're not supposed to act like that. You are the mature, cold captain on the 10th squad.'

Toshiro sat up looked out his window. A single shining star had made its way through the bright lights of modern society. He mumbled, "I…wish I could really make some friends…"

He blinked, the last time he gave a thought about that was back in Karakura Town, where Ichigo's younger sister asked him to play soccer with her and her friends. "What...a stupid thought."
