Lost Child (Bleach Fanfic)

True Feelings

"What do you mean you can't see your little brother?" Izuru looked up at Momo in surprise. "I mean, he is your little brother."

"Shiro-chan didn't like seeing me." Momo sat down at the table and stared at her food.

"Wait..." Renji blinked a couple of times. "How can he not like seeing you?"

"I don't know. I just know that Shiro-chan couldn't stop shaking when he saw me."

"Did they say this was a permanent thing?"

"No. They said he just needs to have a chance to recover a bit. At least that is what they hope. It may take awhile."

A few footsteps were heard coming their way and someone spoke up. "Hinamori-san... about your brother, how is he doing."

Momo blinked a couple of time. Izuru froze up as he looked at the person, his mouth dropping. Renji however turned to look at the person with his eyes narrowed. "Um... who are you."

Izuru blinked a couple of times. "You don't know who he is? That is so like you!"

The small female smiled. "Renji, Izuru... this is Kusaka Sojiro."

The blond academy student blinked a couple of times, his mouth dropping again. Renji however waved his hand. "Well... who is he?"

"He's a friend." Momo didn't notice the corner of Izuru's mouth twitch slightly.

"I was wondering if I could sit with you guys."

"Sure, sure... a friend of Momo's is ours." Renji waved the young man in before turning to look at Izuru. "Is something the matter?"

Sojiro gave the blond academy student a look of pity but choose not to say anything. "Anyways... how is your brother doing."

"He's not able to look at Momo." Izuru blurted out in a rather fast manner.

"Oh..." The boy frowned. "Well... I doubt that will last long. You are his nee-chan that cares about him a lot are you not."

"Um..." The blond's hands clenched together. "How much do you know about the situation?"

"Quite a bit." The boy paused. "I'd say more, but I honestly don't know how much you two know."

"They came to granny's funeral and are fully aware of what the village did to Toshiro." Momo began to eat her food.

Sojiro spoke then, "Well... Hinamori thought of her little brother first and hasn't thought of accusing him. Most people would if you think about it, which I think about it." There came a bit of silence as Izuru glared at him. "That said, just wait patiently. I'm quite sure your friends will agree that they'[ll wait with you on this."

A note came from Unohana and Momo's eyes widened. A smile spread across her face and she clutched the paper to her chest. She stood up then to hurry out of the dorm room only to have a couple of girls stop her. "Hinamori... where are you running off too."

The female didn't read the tone in their voice. "I've received a pass from Unohana Taicho to visit forth division."

"Why are you getting to visit forth division? You're far from being the best student."

Momo blinked a couple of times. "Unohana Taicho is taking care of my little brother. She wants to try having me visit him again as it's our day off. She's hoping that he won't react negatively this time."

"Why did he react negatively?" One of the girls laugh.

"It's not funny." The small female's cheeks puffed out. "Shiro-chan got seriously hurt by some people and he has trust issues because of it." The girls opened their mouths as if to apologize but Momo was off having already brushed off the fact they had laughed. She hurried towards the forth and found Miyako sitting in the room reading a book.
