Okayy well my neww story! :D This is more like an intro than anything (A very long intro…) but yaa. Thanks for reading! :)
"Toushiro! Pass it!" Ichigo yelled eagerly from across the field. Toushiro glanced over at him, aimed and then kicked. The ball glided across the field and passed many opponents, and then Ichigo stopped it with his foot, not missing a beat. He kept running down the field with Toushiro directly across from him. Ichigo smirked at him and then continued forward.
Shit.
As Ichigo was running at full speed, the opposing team's best player ran full speed at him. Ichigo glared intently at him and then, right when the star player was about to kick the ball out from under him, he passed it to Toushiro. Toushiro gracefully stopped the ball with his heel and ran faster than anyone could ever imagine. He swerved in and out of the opposing team's players as he came closer and closer to the goal. Finally, as a boy jumped in front of him to stop the ball, Toushiro kicked, having the ball go in between the boy's legs and straight into the goal.
The crowd roared as a voice came up over the crowds thunder saying, "And Toushiro has done it! This win goes to the Raiders!"
All Toushiro's team mates came up to him and picked him up onto their shoulders. They pranced around the field with him and then started to enter the locker rooms, where screaming fan girls for Toushiro were yelling and reaching out to him, trying to touch him. He smirked a bit at that.
A sigh escaped Renji's lips. "Man, being a professional soccer player is a lot of work." He said while sitting down on a bench next to the lockers. Toushiro walked past him and went to his locker behind the bench, opening it and taking out a towel to dry his face off with. Renji looked back at him with a smirk. "Everyone but Toushiro's life is hard."
Ichigo threw a towel at his face, but he caught it. "What do you mean?" Ichigo asked, some annoyance covering his tone.
"Oh come on, Ichigo. You can't see it? Did you see how many fan girls he has?" Renji let out a slight chuckle under his breath. He knew that Toushiro didn't really like that.
"And you think that makes my life easy?" He asked in a blank tone, but annoyance did hinder there. Renji chuckled darkly.
"Do you know how many times you could get laid?" Renji said with a laugh. Toushiro then flared his leg up and kicked him right off the bench, Renji landing on his head. "Hey!? What the hell!?" He exclaimed.
"It was tempting." Toushiro said while grabbing his bag and starting to walk off. Renji got up and grabbed his bag, running next to Toushiro, Ichigo and Kira following.
"Hey Toushiro, do you want to come with us to that one park?" Ichigo asked.
"Whatever. I guess I will." He said coolly. As they were about to exit the stadium, a huge group of girls ran up to the door, banging on it and demanding Toushiro. Toushiro rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned around.
"I'm going the back way." He said.
"Alright. We'll meet you there." Ichigo yelled after him.

"I'm very sorry." A man in a white coat said to a crying Momo. Momo sat in the waiting room at the hospital, her face in her hands.
"I-it's not your fault…" She mumbled in a squeaky voice, "Can I see her?" She asked him, not moving from her position. The doctor looked down at her with apologetic eyes, and then answered with a quick and quiet, "of course." He supported her arm and helped her up. He turned, starting to walk down a hall way that branched off of the main one, Momo following him. She looked from side to side, looking for the room. Then the doctor slowly came to a stop and turned to her, gesturing his hand to a room with its door closed. Momo looked up at him and he gave her an approving nod. She walked up to the door and opened it slowly, peaking inside at the fragile woman lying on the hospital bed.
The woman turned her head and looked at Momo, her eyes tearing up. "M-Momo!" She gasped. Momo's tears started to overflow and roll down her cheeks as she glided to the woman's side. "H-hi Mom…" She said in a quiet voice. When she did this, her mother gave her a warm smile, bringing her hand up weakly and touching her daughters face. Momo tilted her head into her mothers hand and began to cry more heavily.
"Please don't cry, Momo dear." She said in a soothing voice.
Momo looked up into her mother's eyes. "How can I not cry?" She asked shakily. Her mother took in a big inhale of air from her oxygen mask. Momo waited for her mom to answer, but she didn't, so she went on. "Mom. Do you know how devastating it is to know your mom has cancer?" She asked while grabbing her mothers hand gently.
"Momo, you can't be worried about me. My life is almost over, but yours isn't. You should live your life to the fullest and not worry about this dying woman." She gesture to her crippled body lying in the bed.
"Mom, I love you t-to much to forget about you. That's impossible to do…" She drifted off as she started to cry again. Momo's mother looked at her with saddened eyes and then brushed her face with her hand.
"Momo, I love you more than life itself, and that's why I'm telling you this. I want you to have the best life you can have. So please, don't wait for me. Today, do me one last thing. Go out and go to our favorite place. You remember it right?" She said gently. Momo nodded and she continued. "Today go there and remember. Remember all the good times—'' She said that word with enthusiasm, like to push her in that direction other than the bad, "—so that I will always be in your memories, even when I'm gone. You can't cry there. Remember they are the good times, not the bad." She started to cough. Hard. Then there came a loud beeping noise from a machine across the bed from Momo. Her eyes widened and she looked back at her mom.
"Mom?" She said, horror in her expression. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Momo, I'm sorry but you need to leave immediately." The doctor said as he hurriedly came to her mother. She got up quickly but didn't move, fright keeping her glued to her place in the middle of the room. Then she heard her mothers crippled voice again.
"M-Momo….please…do that…for me?" She pleaded in between gasps. Momo's eyes started to tear and they rolled down her face like a river. She nodded her head quickly and then put in a, "I love you so much mom." She ran out the door, her tears flying off her face. You can't cry there. Remember they are the good times, not the bad. Those words kept repeating in her head as she ran through the waiting room and out the door, on her way to remembering.

Out came Renji's belting laugh. "We need to do that again!" He said with enthusiasm in between his chuckles. Ichigo laughed with him while Kira and Toushiro just looked plain out annoyed. "Why must I always have to do that?" Toushiro said through his teeth. Ichigo and Renji laughed at this. "Do you have to ask?" Ichigo chuckled.
"Because you're the most popular with the ladies!" Renji laughed, like it wasn't obvious enough. Toushiro growled. Every single person seemed to know Toushiro. Especially the girls. So Renji and Ichigo started making him do evil scheme like things to them. He would usually sneak up behind them and blow in their ear, but that was only one time, and the girl pretty much glomped the crap out of him. So from that day on he refused to do that. But they would always make him go up behind a girl and talk to them from behind, and every single girl acted the same.
Toushiro thought it was pretty annoying actually. How every single girl he met would just act like he was "Toushiro the professional soccer player" not "Toushiro the person". But he just did it to get his friends off his back.
"Come on, let's go look for some prey." Renji said evilly, a dark smile crossing his lips. He and Ichigo started walking down a little path. Then suddenly Kira spoke. "Um, guys, shouldn't we give Toushiro a break?" He said in his innocent boy voice. Ichigo look back at him with a smirk on his face. "No."
Toushiro rolled his eyes and growled.
"Hey guys, look at that one!" Renji said excitedly, talking like the girl was more like an object than a human being. They all hid behind some bushes as they watched the girl walk down the pavement path.

Here it is. Momo thought to herself. This place had always been her mother's favorite place to go. There, a monument stood that was to honor all the people who had died in the war. Momo's grandfather's name was on that statue. Momo's mother was very close to Momo's grandfather, and he had gone away to war when Momo's mother was young, about 5 or 6 years old, and had died when Momo's mother was that young to. So when that monument was put up, she would always come and sit on that bench next to it and talk to her father. That's also where she told Momo about her father; Momo's grandpa.
It was a very beautiful scene actually. The trees were green and lush in the background, and they went with one another very nicely. The canopy above it made it nice to sit and relax on the wooden bench in the shade. The birds sang the most there and her mother said that that was because those were all the soldiers' goodbyes to their families. She said before they moved on, they told the birds to tell the soldiers' families that they loved them and to say good bye. The birds promised them that and from that day on, they always sang by the monument, so when the soldiers' loved ones would come they would tell them the message.
Momo smiled inwardly at the thought of all the stories her mother had told her. She loved it when her mother would bring her to this spot, because she knew that she would tell her some interesting story that she had.
Momo walked to the front of the huge statue and looked up, scanning it for the name of her grandfather.
"Dude, Toushiro, go!" Renji said while shoving his white haired friend out into the open. He stumbled a little and then scowled at them. They all laughed lightly under their breath and hid more in the bush. Toushiro sighed and then started to walk toward the girl. He had to admit, she was probably the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, but she was probably just another weird fan girl that would scream and launch herself at him. These things never did turn out good for him.
He came up close behind her and leaned into her, putting his chin just above her shoulder.
Momo was looking up at the statue when she felt someone's warmth.
"What are you looking at?" a strangers voice said that came from right by her ear. She jumped a bit and looked to where the voice came from. She found herself face to face with the most handsome boy she has ever seen. He had snow white hair and captivating emerald eyes. She was speechless.
"U-um…uh…w-who are y-you?" She stammered.
That shocked Toushiro. He just stood there and stared at her as if she were dumb. Momo's sigh finally broke through the silence. She knew who he was. She looked back at the statue.
"You're Toushiro Hitsugaya aren't you?" She said while still looking at the statue, her saddened expression returning to her features. He looked at her a little confused. "Is it that bad?" He asked her curiously.
She looked back at him and shook her head. "No, actually me and my mom love you…your one of the best soccer players we've ever seen…" She drifted of and tried to give a smile, but it didn't fool him. He still just looked at her dumbfounded. Her eyebrows pulled together. "What? Are you wondering why I'm not screaming or jumping all over you?" She asked in a serious tone. "Well sorry if I don't praise you like everyone else does." She had become annoyed now. All these famous people to her were the same. They just wanted some cute fan girls to do.
"Oh god no." He said. "I was just stunned and relieved that you weren't like the others."
"Then tell me why you came onto me like that?"
Toushiro couldn't tell her the truth. How would she feel if he told her he was just doing that for amusement? "Well, you looked kind of sad. So I thought I should see what was wrong." That was actually half true. After he saw her depressed expression, he really did want to know what was wrong with her. She suddenly sighed and then looked back at him. "It's kind of complicated." She said.
"I'm a patient person."
His friends in the bush started to laugh under their breath.
"Well…" something then started to ring in her pocket. The song was That's what you get By Paramore, her absolute favorite song. She opened her phone and saw the time, cursing under her breath.
"I'm sorry I need to go." She said gently, but also sadly. She kind of wanted to talk to him a little more. "Will I ever see you again?" He asked, desire in his tone.
"I don't know…"
"Well, why not this then?" He pulled two pieces of paper out of his pocket and handed them to Momo. She looked down at them.
"Your soccer game tickets?" She asked, surprised. He nodded. "One for you and one for your mother. I really hope to see you again soon."
She nodded, giving him a slight smile and then ran off into the other direction. He watched her back as she ran away, and then suddenly she turned around. "I forgot to tell you!" She yelled, "My name is Momo! Momo Hinamori!"
He smiled and repeated her name under his breath.
"Momo…"
