Chapter 1: Scarlet Meeting

Momo woke up thinking today is the day she quickly got dressed and started packing for the trip. I'm going back to that boarding school. Momo thought to herself. Yep another boring school year and Soul Academy, though some how she knew this was going to be different. Suddenly her mother called out to her "Momo Time to go, I know you wish that summer break wouldn't't end, but you have to go to school!" Momo packed a few peaches for the trip and headed down stairs where her dad handed her something, it was a knife "We herd how your ex was obsessed so here is some protection." He whispered.

Momo got into the car and put in her ear phones and fell asleep soon. She awoke to her mom singing some old song or what she called "The Classics". She reached into her bag and pulled out a peach and took a bite, it was so sweet, she loved the peaches that they grew in their backyard she would really miss them.

They arrived about two hours later "Now remember to do all your homework, listen to your teachers, and keep organized." "I know mom…" Momo kissed her mom and stepped onto the sidewalk. She looked around the campus and started walking she stopped seeing something on the roof. She looked up to see a white haired boy looking towards the ocean. A new kid she thought to herself. She blushed then as the white haired boy started to stair, then she laughed. The boy must have thought she was laughing at him, because he scowled and jumped down two stories to the third floor window. Momo gaped at the window in awe. Eventually she composed her self and went to find her class.

Surprisingly the boy was there at her class staring out the window. Momo had no idea what was up with her, she just couldn't stop thinking about him. Finally the bell rang and she left class before she couldn't help but kiss him. She ran strait for her next class, but the boy was there. The teacher came in and called for the class to be quiet, "Ok then, to start off psychology lets do an activity. We will have a student play a psychologist and two of you will be a couple during your child's session, now this teddy bear will be the child, so any volunteers?... no?... ok then, Vincent you be the shrink and… Momo you and…, what's your name again?" OHNO! It just had to be the boy with the white hair!! Momo thought as the teacher, Mr. Yamamoto, asked the boy. "My name is Toshirou." He replied. "Yes, you and Momo will be the couple." He said as many girls groaned at the sound of couple. He is cute Momo thought as she went up to the front shrugging of the stares that were like daggers.

When they sat down together Yamamoto came up to them "Remember to act like a couple, you know hold each others hands and things like that." He whispered. "Now, your son has been telling me he has been bullied for weeks now." Vincent said in a clear tone, "Really? Tommy said he was doing fine in school" Toshirou replied, "Isn't that right honey?" he asked Momo. Momo blushed a little but kept with it, "Yes, Tommy said he had made lots of friends." She said in a worried tone. "He also said you to were fighting at home." Vincent said, "No way!" Toshirou responded, "This is my love and I could never get mad at her!" Momo's face went scarlet at the word love. "Now… stop!" Yamamoto said, "Very good! It seems we have actors in our class! Well done Toshirou, Momo, and Vincent all three of you get an A+!" Yamamoto said.

Toshirou turned to Momo and said "Good job on acting… are you ok? You look a little red." At that Momo ran away when the bell rang. She went to the cafeteria and got lunch and went to eat it. She went to the bleachers which was a bad move on her part… Toshirou was playing soccer. The game ended and Toshiro took off his shirt and drenched himself in water… the droplets rolling down his chest. Momo immediately went scarlet and thought OH MY GOD!! THAT IS TO HOT! "Hey Toshirou." A boy next to him said. "Yes Ichigo?" he replied, "Are you showing off for that girl in the stands?" he whispered with a smile. All Toshirou could was smile. "Is that a hint of red I see?" he said not letting the statement die. "Shut up you fool." He said and turned blushing.

Toshirou walked to the lunch room bothered by the fact that all he could think about was that girl, he never felt this way before. Momo walked towards him hoping to become friends at the least. Then when they were close enough Ichigo stuck his foot out and tripped Momo. Momo fell onto Toshirou, but instead of both falling Toshirou caught her and held his ground making it look like they were in an embrace. Momo looked at Toshirou reddened and took off running. Toshirou didn't see her until the end of school which was PERFECT.

He walked up to her and asked "Can I show you something?" Momo turned to him and said "Sure". Toshirou went into a crouch and said "Get on" Momo hesitant got on. Toshirou got up, surprising Momo on how strong he was, and took off strait at the wall. Momo screamed, closed her eyes, and held on tight. In 45 seconds Toshirou said "You can let go now" and Momo opened her eyes and they were on the roof, she let go and Toshirou went and sat down on the edge. Momo joined him and he pointed to the ocean where the sun was setting. They watched and then they got up. Momo was about to head to the stairs when Toshirou grasped her and pulled her into an embrace. "Do you trust me?" he whispered in her ear, "I do" she replied closing her eyes.

Toshirou smiled and leaned back little so they're faces was inches apart "I don't think you understand." He said and he pulled her over the edge with him. She screamed during the fall, but when the landed on assembled mattresses she laughed and said "You're lucky I like surprises!" she said. With that a boy from the shadows whispered "How are you two love birds doing?" Toshirou glowered at the figure "Ichigo I know it's you, so come out!" The figure moved out but it was not Ichigo, it was a boy they had not seen before. His face was covered by a hood, his hand on a sword, and his hair white like Toshirou's. Wearing black leather armor, a white robe, and covered by a black cloak.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Toshirou demanded. "I could ask you the very same thing Toshirou Hitsugaya." He replied coldly. "How do you know my name?" he asked. "You're the only other person on this campus with white hair." He replied. "Anyway weapons are not allowed at" "Yes I know and being with a girl this late isn't allowed either" he interrupted with a smirk. "Now I'll let you go as long as you don't tell ANYONE what I do out here." He said. "And what exactly do out here?" Toshirou asked. "I spar" he replied. "AAAAHHHHH I see, well it's a deal!" Toshirou said.

With that Toshirou escorted Momo to her room which was three rooms down from Toshirou's. Then Toshirou asked "Is your alarm clock loud?" "Yes" Momo replied "Good, hold on a second." And he entered the room next to hers and the person soon left with his stuff and Toshirou moved in with his "I don't have an alarm clock" he explained. Then they both went to sleep.
