Hey everyone! Goddess here! XD So this story was inspired by one of the few english songs I love, "According to You" by Orianthi. I don't plan on making it a long story, at the most 5 chapters. I thought about making it a one shot but I just didn't want to so here it is. My new story, I hope you enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of 'Bleach', neither anime nor manga.


CHAPTER ONE: COMING HOME

Toshiro Hitsugaya watched outside the train window as his hometown, Seireitei, came into view. It had been 2 years since he left for university and he was so excited to see all his friends and family back home. Especially a certain raven haired girl who he liked to call 'Bedwetter'. They had written and talked through the phone for the past couple of years, and even though it was all nice, Toshiro just couldn't wait to see her smiling face again.

Suddenly, the train intercom announced that they'll be at the station soon and to prepare to exit the train. He quickly grabbed his bags from under his seat and set them down next to himself so that he get them right away when the doors open. Within a few minutes, the train came into a last stop and Toshiro was gone as soon as possible.

He ran out into the station and began looking for his best friend. She had said that she would pick him up but she was nowhere to be seen. Toshiro took out his cell phone and pressed speed dial #1, Momos number, and pressed call. After a few rings, her voice came up.

"Hello? Shiro?"

"Hey Bedwetter, where are you? Weren't you suppose to pick me up?"

"Yup, that sounds about right."

Toshiro stopped in confusion then rolled his eyes. "Well if that's right, then where are you?"

"I'm watching you."

"Huh? Where from?"

"Look behind you."

He did what she said and turned around then there she was. Standing only a few feet away from him with her phone still in her ear. She laughed and spoke again, "Welcome home, Shiro."

"Momo..." Toshiro smiled at her and sighed happily. It had been so long since he seen her, and she looked so different too. Her hair that use to always be up in a bun and covered in a light blue cloth was now cut to just below her chin. It was still to the side and it had a light blue clip with ribbon, just like her old style. He replied, "It's great to be home."

They then hung up their phones and ran to each other as fast as they could. He dropped his things as they met in the middle and picked her up in a welcoming embrace. People around them smiled as they watched the best friends reunite but they didn't really seem to notice. They were in their own world where it was just the two of them and they couldn't be happier.

After what seemed like forever, Toshiro finally put her down so that he could fully see her. Even though she looked different, she was still the same innocent and beautiful Momo that he has always known. He looked into her chocolate-brown eyes that he had missed so much and whispered, "I've missed you, Bedwetter."

"I've missed you too, Shiro." Momo replied, leaning her head on his. She had noticed that Toshiro himself had changed as well. He was now taller than her by a few inches and his hair wasn't up in its usual spikey style. Instead, it looked like it did back when they were kids, only longer and more grown up. Momo tried not to stare because of the important thing she was yet to tell him, so she broke the tight embrace and picked up one of his bags. "We should get going. Everyone's waiting for you."

Toshiro nodded then picked up the rest of his things. Once they were settled on his right hand and shoulder, he put his left arm over her shoulder. She returned the gesture by wrapping her left arm around his waist.

"This feels like high school." He said as they walked to the exit. "Remember how we would walk to and from school like this?"

"Yeah, the only difference this time is that your finally taller than me." Momo pouted. "No fair!"

He laughed and held her closer, "Well get use to it shorty."

She stuck her tongue out at him then, as the went outside, she took her car keys and lead him to her light blue 1960 ford mustang. (SideNote: Theres a picture of it in my profile images.) Momo walked over to the truck and opened so they could put his bags in there. They got into the car then drove off.

"Nice ride you got here." Toshiro said, looking around it. "Real nice upgrade from that old and rusty bike you use to have."

"Oh, you mean the one you gave me." She shot back, smirking.

"Alright, truce?"

"Truce."

He smiled then looked out the window. "So, anything change since I left?"

Momo tightened her grip on the steering wheel and sighed. She didn't know why it was so hard to tell her own best friend about the thing that happen just a few months since he left. It's true that she had kept it a secret on purpose, but it was killing her how she was keeping something from him.

"Hello? Anybody home?"

She quickly snapped out of her thoughts then forced a smile, "Nope, nothing has really changed."

Toshiro could tell that she was lying but for now he decided not to push the subject further. He was happy enough knowing that he was back home where he belonged, with his friends and his Momo.


They arrived at Momos house in less that 30 minutes. When they were parked and out of the car, Toshiro tried to go to the trunk to try to get his things, but Momo was quick to stop him. She took his hand and began running to the front door.

"Come on Shiro! You can get those later." She said, smiling.

'Same old Momo, always eager to please everybody.' He thought as he aloud her to pull him along. Once they were at the front door, Momo unlocked it and covered Toshiros eyes as they walked in. He could hear voices all around him and guessed that it was everybody he knew. 'To predictable...'

As soon as his eyes were uncovered, Toshiro was greeted by a couple loud 'Surprise!' and 'Welcome Home'. He laughed as he was attacked by all his friends: Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihme Inoue, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Rangiku Matsumoto, Gin Ichimaru, Senna, and Hanaturo Yamada. They surrounded him with hugs (from the girls) and high fives (from the boys).

"Dude! So great to have you back!" Ichigo said as he pat Toshiro on the back.

"Captain! We missed you and your shortness so much!" Rangiku said as she rubbed his hair.

"My what, Matsumoto?" He asked, giving her his famous death glare.

"N-nothing, Captain."

Everybody laughed as they saw that their old hadn't changed one bit, mentally that was. After they all got a turn saying hi to him, Toshiro walked over to his grandmother who was sitting on the couch with his uncle Ukitake and his close friend, Shunsui.

"Welcome home other Shiro." His uncle said, standing up and giving him a hug.

"Nice to have you back, Toshiro." Shunsui told him as he did the same.

"Thank you uncle, Shunsui." Toshiro then moved on to his grandmother. He sat down next to her and gave a strong embrace. "Hello grandmother. I missed you."

"I missed you too. Welcome home." She replied hugging him back.

The rest of the evening was spent with cheers and having fun among themselves, just like old times. As the party went along, Toshiro suddenly felt really thirsty and since the bottles of soda in the living room were empty, he went into the kitchen. However when he went in, he heard both Rangikus and Momos voices, and it sounded like the were arguing.

"How could you not tell him?" Rangiku asked. "You said that you would tell Toshiro everything as soon as you picked him up at the train station."

"I know, but we hadn't seen each in two years Rangiku. What was I suppose to do?"

Toshiro didn't want to find out what Momo was kept from him through snooping so he stepped up and cleared his throat to let them know he was there. "Everything ok here?"

"Yeah, of course." Rangiku replied as she walked to the kitchen door. "Momo just has something she has to tell you."

"Rangiku!"

"Bye!" With that said, the busty woman was gone, leaving Toshiro and Momo alone.

He walked over to her and stop until he was a few feet away from her. "So what was that all about? You have something to tell me?"

Momo looked down sadly and sighed. "Yes, I do actually."

"Well, go ahead."

Before she could talk, her phone began to ring. He gestured for her to answer it so she turned her back to him then pressed the accept button. "Hello?...What? No!...But you said...Alright fine...Ok, I'll see you. Bye."

She hung up angrily and gave a huff of annoyance. Toshiro laughed a bit at how adorable she looked when she was mad. "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Momo replied. "Its just sometimes people get on my nerves a little too much. Especially when they say they'll do something and they just don't."

He asked. "Really? What 'people' were you just talking to?"

Momo bit her lip and gathered all the courage she could until she finally just said it. "My boyfriend, Ren."


Well what did you guys think? :) I know it's not that good, but hopefully it'll get better as it goes along. I would also like to say that 'Ren' is my creation of the worst boyfriend ever (you'll see soon) and everybody has their new look (if that wasn't obvious). So anyway, please review and I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can ;)

Well that's all the time I have! Until next time! Ja-Ne! XD
