Title: Leave out all the rest



Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Tute Kubo I am doing this for my own amusement and I do not gain anything by doing this…ok I my gain some good reviews and the satisfaction to see my favorite pairing in a story.



Pairings: Hitsugaya/Matsumoto is the main pairing of the story, but the story is also going to have some Ichigo/Rukia and...can\'t think of any other pairing, any suggestions?



Rating: I am not sure yet...but let\'s put it T .



Summary: That day was the first time he noticed Matsumoto, the day he noticed that he had been watching his fukutaichou for quite some time but he wasn’t aware. Or, rather, he was in denial of all the things the woman made him feel.



Author’s Note: This is a sort of sequel to \'Because He is Just a Child\' and \'The Day She Noticed Him\'; but the story can be read even if you haven\'t read the other one. The title was inspired by the song Leave out all the rest by Linking Park.





First chapter, relax, read and review!!

Chapter 1



The day he noticed her









-A year before the betrayal-



The first time he noticed her as a woman and not his annoying fukutaichou was at the celebration Soul Society held every year to celebrate a new year and the graduation of the new shinigamis from the Academy.



Usually he didn’t stay too long, he spent about an hour before he left for the peace of his home. But that year had been different. Hinamori had insisted that he stay due to a little surprise she had for him. As always, Hitsugaya couldn’t say no to her, so he stayed.



There was a moment where all the lights went off and people fell silent. Hitsugaya didn’t understand exactly what was happening until he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around he saw a smiling Kyouraku and Ukitake beside him.



“Oh, Hitsugaya-kun, watch closely and enjoy the show.” Said Kyouraku with a slight smirk on his face. Hitsugaya blinked, too confused to correct Kyouraku. Suddenly music could be heard and a light appeared on the center of the dance floor.



Hitsugaya was mesmerized at the appearance of a woman who was dressed up with in a beautiful kimono and had a fan in her hand. She was doing making some graceful movements along with the music that was filling the dance floor. Around her two other figures appeared but Hitsugaya only had eyes for the woman with blond hair that had opened the dance. It wasn’t until the rest of the lights were turned on that he recognized that woman.



It was Matsumoto!!!



His fukutaichou was moving as if she had been doing that all her life, as if that was her second nature. She was flirty but shy at the same time. Calling out to the audience but hiding herself behind the fan…and the only thing Hitsugaya could do was watch, lost in the movements of his fukutaichou.



Beside him Ukitake went to said something to the young taichou but stop himself at the look on Hitsugaya’s face. Ukitake lifted a single eyebrow and tried to follow Hitsugaya’s eyes. He discovered the owner of Toushirou’s attention. A smile appeared on the thirteenth division taichou’s face. It seemed like young Hitsugaya Toushirou was growing up.



“Beautiful, isn’t she?” asked Jushirou to Hitsugaya. Without taking his eyes from Matsumoto Hitsugaya nodded.



“Beautiful…” he repeated without paying any attention to what he was saying.



“Matsumoto-san has always had that effect” continued Juushirou, this time Kyouraku heard his friend, and, turning around he saw Hitsugaya’s expression. He let out a chuckle at the flustered expression the young Taichou was wearing now.



“What?!” Hitsugaya looked like a deer-caught-in the-headlights.



“I was saying that Matsumoto-san looked as beautiful as always” commented Juushirou. Hitsugaya merely stuttered but in the end decided that he didn’t need to explain himself.



“Of course you didn’t notice Ran-chan; you probably were looking at Hinamori-san,” commented Kyouraku. Hitsugaya opened his eyes in surprise and looked again to the dance floor, this time he could made out the figure of Hinamori.



Funny, before he was so rudely interrupted, he hadn’t noticed anyone else on the dance floor. But now he noticed at least five women in there, and it wasn’t until Kyouraku had mentioned it that he realized that Hinamori was there. That probably was why the girl had insisted so much that Hitsugaya stay at the party.



“I…yes, I was watching at Hinamori.” Said Hitsugaya after a moment. His eyes tried to stay focused on Hinamori but he failed miserably and after a moment he was, once again, watching his beautiful fukutaichou.



oOoOo oOoOo



Hitsugaya welcomed the cold air of the night that hit him full in the face when he left the reception hall. He still felt the heat on his face and the elaborate breathing. A hand went to his white hair and messed his hair in exasperation.



What the hell was wrong with him?



After the dance Matsumoto and the others had joined them. Hinamori had smiled at him, had talked to him even thought Aizen was there, but Hitsugaya didn’t pay any attention to his childhood friend and ‘love interest’. Every once in a while his attention drifted to his fukutaichou that was talking animatedly to Kyouraku and Ichimaru, the latter was touching her arm in a way that, for some reason, made Hitsugaya’s blood boil.



Then his fukutaichou had come to him, she had given to him one of her infamous hugs, and after the Captain freed himself he was blushing like a bloody school-girl!! Never before he had done that.



Hitsugaya sighed, too confused and embarrassed at his own weakness and incapacity to understand the situation. He rested his back against the wall when a familiar giggling reached him.



“Gin! Stop!” Hitsugaya turned to the source of the giggling. He didn’t dare to move or do anything for fear that Matsumoto or Gin would notice his presence. He concealed his reiatsu, knowing very well, that what he was about to do was wrong.



“Aw, Ran-chan…but it’s been so long” whined Gin. Hitsugaya heard more giggling and then a loud moan of pleasure coming from is fukutaichou. The young Captain felt his face go red at the sound and the images that particular sound provoked.



“Th…that’s not true…we ...aahh, Gin!” Something inside Hitsugaya grew angered, but at the same time an unknown source of sadness settled in his chest. He tried to ignore that sensation and leave the place when the voice of Matsumoto stopped him.



“Gin, not here...wh-what if any…anyone sees?” This time Hitsugaya could made out the snicker coming from Gin.



“Let ‘em know yer mine.” Matsumoto laughed at that and then more moaning. “But, if yer too worried ‘bout that, le’s go before tha’ taicho o’ yers thinks o’ stealin’ ya away from meh.”



Hitsugaya lowered his gaze and he was about to leave when he stumbled across Ukitake, who was watching at the young taichou with curiosity. Just then Gin and Matsumoto made their way to the place where Hitsugaya and Ukitake were. The four of them looked at each other. Judging by the state Matsumoto’s clothes were in neither Ukitake nor Hitsugaya had to guess what was happening. The woman looked over at the two white-haired taichous with a sheepish smile while Gin directed his mocking



expression solely to Hitsugaya. The weather around them change and the annoyance



was evident in Hitsugaya.



“Um…Good night, Taichou. Ukitake-taichou.” Said Matsumoto before walking away rapidly. Gin stood there for a moment before bowing at the two taichous and following Matsumoto.



There was a moment of silence in which Ukitake centered his attention to Hitsugaya. The young taichou was looking ahead of him, his eyes were cold and held a hint of sadness in them, while he had his fists closed. Ukitake smile sadly at the scene and decided it was time for him to intervene.



“Hitsugaya-kun, would you like a cup of tea? I am already tired of the party but some light conversation would be very welcome.”



It took some time, Ukitake thought that maybe Hitsugaya wanted to be alone, but then the young taichou nodded and followed his companion to the thirteenth division barracks.



oOoOo oOoOo



That day was the first time he noticed Matsumoto, the day he noticed that he had been watching his fukutaichou for quite some time but he wasn’t aware. Or, rather, he was in denial of all the things the woman made him feel.



When he was a kid he used to think that his destiny was to marry or at least establish himself with Hinamori. She had been the only person he had known so far that could fill in the role, and the only one he saw himself with, since she was the only one he actually cared for. But then Matsumoto had appeared and…he didn’t know what happened.



He had had a nice chat with Ukitake that night and it had served to make him forget the little episode he witnessed between Rangiku and Ichimaru, but now in the darkness of his room he couldn’t help but think over and over again about that particular incident. Neither could he prevent the rage and sadness that filled his whole being at the mere thought of what the pair was doing right at that moment.
