Yamada Hanataro

A young man stood next to a bed, writing on a check list for a patient , only to turn around to find his face right smack in the camera. At that, he let out a yelp of surprise. Placing a hand on his heart, he stammered out. "Ma... Ma... Matsumoto... Fukutaicho."

"Gomen for scaring you Hanataro-chan!" Rangiku stated, her voice completely bubbly. "Orihime and I are making a video."

"Forth division really isn't that interesting." Yamada piped up. "I mean, it is interesting, the subject of healing people. However, it wouldn't make for the best video for entertainment. Education maybe."

"It isn't a video for the forth division." A blue puppet popped up, the loudness causing the young man to jump again.

"You've seen how depressed taicho's been, since you're one of the ones treating him when he came in." Matsumoto sighed. "We're making a video of what people like about him."

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Hanataro blinked a couple of times.

"I know that you two don't hang out, never really did. But out of all the young shinigami, you know him the best." Rangiku sighed.

"Actually, I think the reason we never really hung out was because we were both busy with our own divisions. That, and they're far away. I think... that person... the one Hitsugaya Taicho doesn't exactly like to talk about... if our division was closer, would have arranged it so we would have spent more time together. Now that he's a captain..."

"Toshiro-kun wouldn't care about the difference in ranks." A brown puppet popped up.

"Orihime's right. Taicho..." Rangiku found herself interrupted.

"I already know that. I conciser Hitsugaya Taicho my friend, and though I know he's not exactly able to understand what friendship means or what it is, to the point it will be awhile until he can say aloud that we are friends... well, he's someone I know I can trust very well. That isn't why I was asking if this was a good idea."

"Then what is the problem?" Orihime piped up.

"Is making a video of what people like about Hitsugaya Taicho, despite the fact the things people are to say they like about him are going to be the exact things he dislikes about himself really a good thing." The small male spoke up, watching Matsumoto carefully.

"I... well, there has been some of that. I thought that maybe if he could be convinced that those things aren't so bad, he might think better of those traits." Rangiku sighed.

"While that may work, coming from someone who also lacks confidence in himself, sometimes hearing that people like the things you aren't proud of doesn't help." There was a slight pause, and then he continued. "Wouldn't it be better to make a video about the fact people like and care about him, rather then having them list what they like?"

"I guess..." Matsumoto sighed. "It's... kinda late for that. Could you say what you like about him?"

"Why?" Hantarou spoke up, blinking a couple of times.

"Please!" Both females said at the same time.

Yamada's mouth suddenly twitched. "Hitsugaya Taicho... he already knows that I think of him as a friend. I may or may not have said it before though, but I said it on this video. Plus, I think he can get the idea that the likely things I like about him are things he dislikes about himself. No, I've told him about some of them before and he's downplayed them."

"Please..."

"I don't want to hurt his feelings." Hanatarou's mouth twitched again. "I know he never shows it on the outside, but he does have feelings. Bottling it up isn't healthy... and I think... I think your video may already be a bit much for him. Anyways... I need to go see another patient."

"Who?" Orihime asked, which caused Hanataro to open his mouth to say something, a smile on his face, only to suddenly pale, his mouth clamping shut.

"Well, who?"

"He's..." The young male blinked a couple of times. "He's... um... Ichigo's father."

"Why is he here and not in the living world?" Orihime blurted out.

"That's because... that's because..." Hanataro pulled back suddenly.

"You... your hiding something, aren't you?" Rangiku stated, the camera suddenly going blank.
