(Hey guys! So, this is a filler chapter... Hope you like it!)

(Y/N)'s POV

When I woke up, I quickly prepared myself and headed to where Ikkaku is. I ask him if he knows anything about Shiro-chan and I'm so happy he said he knows him.

"He's the 10th squad captain, of course I know him! Why did you ask about him so sudden, (Y/N)?"

"H-huh? Well I... I became friends with him back in Karakura town so I was just wondering if you can help me see him... I-if that's okay..."

Ikkaku looked at me as if he's reading what's on my mind before saying he'll help me... in one condition.

"What is it?"

"We won't let anybody know about this. You need to talk to him fast because Captain will be searching for us sooner or later, okay?"

"Okay."

"Let's go." With that, I followed him to where Shiro-chan might be.

When we got there, I didn't know that I would be so disappointed. Matsumoto told us that he headed back to the human world again. Ikkaku looked at me saying he's sorry he forgot Shiro-chan has been assigned to Karakura Town.

"It's okay..." 'No I'm not. I feel so sick. I need to see him... I really miss him...'

"I'm sorry for asking but why do you need to see him?" Rangiku interrupted my thoughts.

"H-huh? N-nothing! Haha. I just wanna see him cuz he's a good friend of mine back in Karakura Town... So yeah..." 'I can't tell them he's my boyfriend... Not until Shiro-chan himself told them...'

"Oh, really. Don't worry, I'll let you know when he came back."

*sigh* "okay..." Ikkaku tapped my shoulder saying I'll see him soon so I shouldn't make this sad face of mine. I just nodded while smiling a bit.

We started going back to our squad cuz we can't stay long. We didn't ask for Captain's approval before going here. I know Ikkaku noticed I was so disappointed but I never knew he would know about my relationship with Shiro-chan.

"Oi." He called for my attention before he finally asking me, "since when did you became his girlfriend?"

I stopped flash-stepping and I just stared at him with a how-did-you-know face. He stopped too as he chuckled before he answer me. "You're so easy to read, sweet (Y/N)."

I didn't reply. I stayed staring at him before I finally told him, "R-really?"

"Yup! Even a fool will know..." I gently facepalmed myself to know how much of an idiot I am, letting them see me how I felt not seeing Shiro-chan.

"Shall we go now, princess?" He smiled before offering his hands. I raised a brow at him before I chuckled. I was about to take his hand but someone told me to stop behind my back.

My eyes widen and my heart was pounding as I heard of that familiar voice of him. I wanna cry but happiness overflowed in me so I smiled widely before I slowly turned around to face him.

"Shiro-chan!!!" He smiled sweetly at me before I ran towards him and I quickly jumped to hug him. His hands snaked around my waist as he hugged me tighter. I heard his soft chuckle while still not letting go of me.

I let go of him but I keep our distance close to each other. We're smiling at each other and I'm not gonna lie, I missed it. His turquoise eyes are staring intently at me and it almost melted me. I love this feeling. I don't want this to end.

Ikkaku cleared his throat to stop us. "Ehem. Sorry to interrupt you love birds but you know we have to go now..."

I nodded in agreement and was about to go near Ikkaku but Shiro-chan hold my hand while looking at him. 'Shiro-chan..?'

Ikkaku looked confused just like me but he chuckled as he told him not to worry. "Don't tell me you get jealous even to me, Hitsugaya-taichou!?! W-we're just friends!"

"She's my princess, and mine alone. If I ever hear you calling her a princess and see you oferring your hands to her, you won't wanna know what's gonna happen next..."

"Hey! Are you scaring me!?!" Ikkaku then exclaimed.

"No. I'm just stating the fact."

I just watch the two arguing at a very nonsense reason but I can't help but to smile. "We have to go, Shiro-chan..."

He stared at me before he nodded. "I'll visit you as often as I can, MY princess."

With that, I went near Ikkaku. But before we shunpoed away, he called me again saying he's coming with us. I smiled at him while I heard Ikkaku chuckled. We then flash-stepped to our squad again... but this time, I'm with him and I'm not really disappointed at all.
