She sat at the window, her head propped up on her hand, and a dreamy look on her face.

Just outside she watched the 6th squad's vice captain training. It was rare to see him train

without his zanpakuto; only his own body as a weapon. His robe hung around his waist, and

Momo marveled at the sight before her. She watched every muscle is his upper body ripple as

he moved. His body glistened with a thin sheen of sweat, defining every muscle even more so.

His normally tied up hair now fell loosely, abandoned during his training. She sighed as she traced

his tattoos with her eyes, silently wondering how far they actually went...

"Momo, stop staring at Renji, you're starting to drool!"

Startled, Momo slipped off her chair, and landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"Jesus Kumiko, you scared me half to death!" Her best friend laughed, while Momo

stood up, brushing herself off. "And I wasn't staring, I was admiring the view."

"What view?"

Momo spun around quickly, coming face to face with the very person she was talking about. Turning bright red she tried to stutter out an excuse.

"Oh- ano- Renji- hi-, I was just talking about the peach blossoms! Yes, the peach blossoms, they are blooming and look beautiful!"

Renji jumped off the window sill and leaned against the wall crossing his arms. "Not as beautiful as you do, when you turn bright red like that."

And that's when she fainted.
