New new story LoveBugs! This is like Tarzan, just he ain't swinging from branch to branch like some monkey-wanna-be! Please review!

Summary- Momo is traveling around the Hurtgen Forest with a group of friends. She wanders off and meets a strange, un-educated white-haired man that will catch her eyes, and heart. She takes him back to the city and teaches him the "human ways" of things. However, that ain't the only thing he'll learn.

I do not own Bleach!

The fresh air of the wilderness was pure and rich. It was nothing like the busy, polluted city of Seireitei. Seireitei just consisted of buildings, business employments, five-star restaurants and movie theaters, and skyscrapers. The Hurtgen Forest was different. It was almost like if it was a new world.

Momo, for the first time, was finally out of the city. She always wanted to escape the busy streets, and just see nature herself. Her friends Nanao, Renji, and Kira decided to join her since they felt the same way. The Hurtgen Forest was located in Germany, and it wasn't a big forest. Momo appreciated the full-grown trees, gleaming sun, and nature overall. However, she didn't enjoy the flying flies and bees.

Momo and her three trustworthy friends walked for miles already. Today was their last Hurtgen-adventure day; and they wanted this day to be spectacular. Trips to forests like this didn't come every year. With their bags full of food, water, flashlights, extra clothing, and other necessities, the group of four journeyed to almost ever inch of the forest.

Kira and Momo made sure that they took enough pictures for their friends to see, while Nanao wrote about how beautiful nature was in her journal. Renji, with his binoculars, searched for passing birds and animals. It was around six in the evening, and they knew that they needed to set their tents in a comfortable area.

"Should we search for a spot to stop now, or we should continue exploring for another half an hour?" Renji asked.

"I think we should look for a place to rest already." Kira stated, "The day is going by fast and next thing we know, it's already dark. It's not safe lurking around in the dark."

"Good point," Added Nanao, fixing her glasses, "Why don't we stop here? This looks like a nice place to set up tent."

The others nodded and began to set up the tents. Nanao and Momo set their dark blue tent while Renji and Kira set up their black one. The tents only took short minutes to set up since they have finally learned how to set them up. The four of them then placed a thick but restful blanket over the floor of the tent, and then placed their comfortable sleeping bags inside.

After that, Renji and Kira walked around the area and gathered a bucket full of wood while Nanao and Momo began to prepare the dinner. Time was going fast, and the temperature was decreasing rapidly. Renji and Kira placed the logs in a circular pile and started the fire as Nanao and Momo placed a rail-like object above the fire and began to cook some meat.

They had a large container of cooked fried rice, and the only thing they needed to cook was the meat. It took about an hour to cook it since the sauce was already applied to the meat. As the sky darkened a bit more, the group of groups began to eat. Momo was already disappointed that they were leaving. She was truly going to miss the forest.

"I think I'm going to walk around." She told her friends, standing up.

Nanao, Kira, and Renji looked at confusingly.

"Momo, you walked enough already. Plus, it's getting darker and you can get lost." Renji told her.

"Yes, I know; but I'll be back in half an hour! I just want to walk around alone and think about some personal issues. I won't wander off too far away! It'll only be a few yards, that's all." She explained, putting on her light black sweater.

Her friends still looked concerned at her, but they quickly dropped it. Momo was twenty, an adult already, and she could take care of herself. They all wanted her to be safe, but since she said that she'll only be gone for half an hour, they trusted her words.

"Fine, but if you're not here in half an hour, we're going to search for you." Renji told her.

Smilingly, the brunette smiled at them and began to walk away. The air got colder, but she paid no heed to that. She wasn't afraid of the dark. The darkness actually helped her think things whether they were good or bad. She loved how it was dark and her mind would be the only one that would see the cases without light interfering.

Ever since she was only four years old, she would turn off the lights in her room, sit on her bed, and think. To her, it was a great method to release the thoughts out of the head and think about them carefully.

Momo knew that twenty minutes have already passed, and she knew that she should get back. However, she just wanted to stay and live inside the forest. She knew her friends would be worried sick if she didn't return in ten minutes; but right now, she just wanted to explore more. Momo walked over a land filled with rocks as she heard the crickets singing already.

For the first time, Momo saw the bright stars. Due to the city's high power, no star was visible in the night, and it saddened her. Now, she could see more than a million stars gleaming down at her. She knew that people in the city were missing this great experience.

Momo heard water and she knew that she was near a river. She walked a few more feet, the stars' lights helping her see. Her loose brown hair cascaded around her shoulders as she continued to walk. Her body shivered at the cold wind that flew by her. The anxious woman halted once she saw that the ground stopped and below it was a river. A smile appeared on her cherry red lips as she could only see something moving, though she knew that it was water.

Right beside her was a wooden bridge. Curiously, she walked over the bridge and stared down. She could see a small house just beside the river. Her eyebrows furrowed confusingly as she continued to stare at the peculiar house. Who could possibly live there? She knew that she had to get back to her friends, but she really wanted to check the house out. Sighing disappointingly, Momo turned to the opening of the bridge but suddenly, the wood underneath her feet broke and she fell down.

A loud, terrified scream escaped her mouth as she tightly grabbed onto the ropes of the bridge. Her chest rose and fell back down each second as she slowly opened her eyes. She looked up and noticed that the bridge was breaking in half. This was not good. Panic swam over her body as a loud snap was heard and Momo was swayed over to one side of the large trench.

Screaming on top of her longs while she still held onto the rope, Momo's body fell into the cold waters of the river. She didn't have a chance to catch her breath. Her eyes opened as the dirty water flowed inside her mouth. She tried to swim up, but her lack of oxygen was making that plan fail. Her eyes were soon closing as she was beginning to lose consciousness. However, before she went into a deep sleep, she felt a pair of hands grab hers and pull her up.

"I knew we shouldn't have let her wander off!" Renji stated; stomping around the path she went through.

"This is bad." Nanao whispered, brushing her hair with her hands nervously.

The three had been searching for Momo over the past fifteen minutes and all three of them were positive that they heard her scream. They didn't want the worst to happen to their younger friend, and they hope that she's alright. Renji and Kira had a shotgun just in case any wild animal decided to stop by.

"Renji, what are we going to do if we don't find her by one in the morning? It's hazardous for us as well to be walking around."

"I know, but we can't just go to sleep without knowing where the hell Momo is! We're just going to keep on searching for her; and if we haven't found her by four in the morning, we'll pack our stuff and notify police."

Momo roused around the hard ground as she felt heat fall on her body. Her big brown eyes fluttered half way, though everything was blurred. Slowly, she raised her hands to her face and rubbed her tired eyes. Putting her hands back down, she saw logs being burned and someone shifting around the small area they were in. Groaning lowly, she sat up and saw a thick old blanket over her body.

The woman looked up again and saw a short, approximately five-foot-four, man with spiky hair doing something with his back towards her. A wave of nervousness swept over her body as she began to though who was the stranger that probably saved her life. Did he save her to rape her? Was it to hold her hostage and ask for a million dollars in order to set her free? Clearing her throat, Momo watched the odd man as he continued to work.

"Um…e-excuse me..." she whispered.

The person halted and slowly turned his head to her. Momo gulped as she finally got the chance to see his face. Her brows flew up as she saw his sparkling green-blue eyes. He turned around and slowly walked over to her. Momo continued to stare at him as he knelt in front of her. Her face warmed up as she saw how handsome he was. He wore a dirty ripped white T-shirt with black ripped slacks and no shoes.

Momo was about to ask him who he was, but she was cut off when he placed his fingers on her lips. Her eyes widened as she was beginning to get scared of what he might do to her. His short slender fingers shifted from her lips to her cheek. The woman's face reddened as he stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"Wh-What are you doing?" she asked.

The young man in front of her did not answer as he grabbed a wet piece of cloth and gently began to pat it against the cheek he was stroking. Momo suddenly hissed as she felt a bruise she didn't notice before sting. The quiet man halted and placed the cloth beside her. Carefully, Momo touched her cheek and felt a long thick cut going diagonally.

Momo looked back at the man and saw him sitting silently across from her. She tilted her head and continued to stare at him. She saw his eyes open and stare back at her. Momo flinched at how mysteriously handsome he looks.

"Who….Who are you?"

The man tilted his head, furrowing his white brows, confusingly. Momo swallowed and slowly crawled over to him. She stared at his face for a few seconds and then placed her small hand on his head. The man quickly flinched, and tightly grabbed her hand and pushed it off him. Momo winced as she rubbed her hand.

"Do you have any manners? And why didn't you answer me when I asked you what your name was?"

The man tilted his head and quickly placed his hand over her mouth. Momo's eyes widened, as she wasn't expecting his sudden action. The man leaned forward and opened his mouth.

"T-Toushiro Hitsugaya…" he finally spoke, looking at her nervously.

Momo removed his hand from her mouth and gazed at him incredibly.

"So, you do speak?" she said questioningly.

The man took a deep breath before replying. "A…little…"
