Life of Simplicity (Bleach Fanfic)

Simple Rage *Momo*

In another room, Hinamori Momo Fukutaicho was recovering, as it seemed that her mental state of things had come to be shattered yet again. She had a rather faraway look on her face, and seemed to be ignoring everything that was around her. At least that was the way that it seemed to the three friends that sat in her room, all of which went back to her academy days.

"Has Hitsugaya Taicho been to visit Momo?" Renji suddenly asked, as he sat leaning against the wall, his arms folded behind him. "I would have figured that he would have been one of the first ones to have come here to see her. They did grow up with each other."

"I don't know. That has bothered me, since they are supposed to be like siblings. Then again, I was out for the last part of the battle, so did the tenth division taicho do something to … well, you-know-who?" Hisagi sighed, shaking his head, the memory of his former taicho exploding, still resounding in his mind.

"Well… no," Kira suddenly glanced at the wall, as if what he had to say about the subject matter was difficult for him to say.

"Oh come on, it isn't as if Hitsugaya Taicho attacked Hinamori. Right Hisagi, he wouldn't do that," Renji stated, looking to his sempai for affirmation.

However, before he could open his mouth, the eldest among them found himself behind interrupted by Hinamori, who had been sitting up, and staring at the foot of the bed. "Yes, he did. He attacked me."

This caused the other two, to suddenly startle, then look to Kira to confirm or disconfirm what the small female shingami had come to say. However, Kira could only nod his head, then place a palm on his forehead. Renji's rietsu suddenly flared. "I am going to kill the little brat. I don't care if he was a captain."

"It was an accident!" Kira's head suddenly popped up, his face suddenly filled with panic. Hisagi raised an eyebrow, realizing that there was something more to this, while Renji simply fumed. Hinamori though, suddenly turned her face, her vacant eyes suddenly filling with anger.

"How can you take his side! He stabbed me through the chest!" Hinamori stated. "I am glad he feels too guilty, that he hasn't come! I don't want to see him. Ever… again!"

At that, a small knock came at the door, and they saw it open suddenly. "Hinamori… can I…"

Everyone in the room was in actual surprise that the small taicho had suddenly decided to show up. He stood in the doorway, dressed in the clothing one wore if they were stuck in the fourth division. His words had suddenly stopped, when his two teal eyes had come to fall onto Hinamori, whose chest suddenly began to heave at seeing him. Her aura also began to spike dangerously.

The next thing that they knew, Hinamori had grabbed an empty, clay eating-vessel from the side of her bed, and had flung it at the small taicho's head. Thankfully, though, instead of hitting him, it hit the door. The pieces shattered, and scattered onto the floor. "Hinamori… I came to apologize…"

"For trying to kill me Hitsugaya!" the girl snapped, completely surprising her friends, causing them to back away a little bit.

"I didn't try to k…" the small boy started.

"If you hadn't tried, you would have come to see me sooner... in fact, already!" came the rather upset reply.

At this, Toshiro's Adam Apple bobbed down, and he began to leave. "I'm sorry… perhaps I should visit later…"

"I don't want to see you!" the female stated, a few tears running down her cheek.

The door clicked shut, and Kira got up and began to pick up the pieces that had shattered onto the ground with Hisagi to help him. "Hinamori… you shouldn't have done that. He hadn't done anything wrong."

"What exactly happened after we went out," Hisagi stated, as Hinamori muttered something about the blond taking sides he shouldn't.

"When you went out and I was elsewhere, remember," Renji sighed, shaking his head.

"Hitsugaya Taicho, Kyoraku Taicho, Soifon Taicho and the leader of the Vizards all thought that they were attacking Aizen. They thought that they had gotten him, and that they had finished him off with a great tactic. Truth of the matter it looked good, too good to be true. It was really Hinamori. It was Hitsugaya Taicho, who had the last blow," Kira stated, refusing to look Hinamori in the eyes.

"I am going to have to side with Kira and Hitsugaya on this," Hisagi shook his head. "This wasn't Hitsugaya Taicho's fault."

"It doesn't change the fact that the kid is a brat," Renji iterated. "He always has been."

"The Hitsugaya stabbing me was not the Hitsugaya I knew," Hinamori iterated, clenching the bed sheets. "That Hitsugaya is scary. Shiro-chan… he isn't supposed to be scary. He's sweet, warm, and friendly."

At that, Kira sat down on the edge of Hinamori's bed. "In one token, I would say, neither are you. Yet there we saw a side of you, you probably don't want to ever show anyone again, right?"

"There is also the fact that you missed what many people already knew. The brat is nearly as scary as Ichimaru Gin, easily," Renji stated.

"No he's not!" came the sudden protest.

Hisagi suddenly held out the bowl of shards in front of her, pulling out a piece that had gotten blood on it, causing her eyes to go wide. "Hinamori… answer me this question. Did the Hitsugaya you know, did he ever hate someone, hold a grudge against them for something?"

"That isn't like Shiro-chan. He doesn't know how to hate," the girl gave him a weak smile, pulling the sheets to her chest. "That shard… I hurt him… didn't I?"

"Possibly," Kira stated shaking his head. "I don't want to imagine what would have happened, had the bowl hit his head. It wouldn't have been pretty, and you would have been in a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, only Matsumoto gets away with throwing things," Renji chuckled. "What are you trying to get at though, Hisagi?"

"Well, if Hitsugaya Taicho didn't know how to hate, before Aizen betrayed everyone, then he would have learned then. Hurting family, it's a big deal isn't it?" the male stated. "We were all too busy with other worries, then to worry about him, and how he was handling stuff. He possibly didn't like feeling what he did at the time, but didn't know how else to handle it, because no one taught him."

"Bull…" Renji muttered. "I hate psychological stuff… it isn't real."

"I guess I owe someone an apology," Momo sighed, taking the one piece in her hand.

"Not just for a few things. Many, many things," Kira sighed, patting her on the shoulder. "A lot has been going on, while you were cooped up in the fourth division.
