Chapter 1 : Lighting A Match Under Water
MOMO laid in her bed, looking up at the cream colored ceiling. She held a stuffed bear to her chest, sighing deeply as she thought about the days events.
'Are you alright Jr.!' MOMO asked, helping the red haired U.R.T.V. to his feet.
He nodded.
'How are you? You look a mess!' Jr. laughed, looking over her dirty, ripped clothing and mud-dyed brown hair.
MOMO smiled.
'I'm fine. I just need a shower and to wash my hair. I got gunk in it.'
'I'm glad. At least nothing happened to you-'
MOMO jumpped up into a seating position.
"He - He called me ... Sakura ... " She whispered, squeezing the bear tightly.
She got off the bed and walked over to her dresser. She set the stuffed animal down and looked into the mirror, staring empty into her reflection.
"But ... I'm MOMO ... " She said to herself, "Aren't I?"
MOMO gently touched the mirror, slowly outlining the reflection with her right index finger. She blinked.
"Am I? Or am I ... "
She wrapped her hands around her body.
"My hair, my eyes ... Are they mine?"
She slammed her hands on the dresser, morbid thoughts running in her mind. Was she her own person, or was she just a shadow of a dead person? Was she made to look like Sakura, or was she created to be Sakura?
"Is my reflection my own?" She yelled, buring her fist in glass.
MOMO fell to the floor, holding her scratched fist to her. She looked into the shattered glass, creating her own illusion of Sakura in every shard.
"Am I ... just ... a shadow?"
"You look pretty real to me."
MOMO quickly stood up. She looked at the person.
"J-Jr.? How long have-"
"Shadows can not possibly have their own reflections MOMO, and the dead, they only have reincarnations."
MOMO gasped.
"No one is a shadow MOMO, unless the world carries nothing but shadows."
Jr. took a step towards MOMO.
"MOMO, I'm-"
"No!" MOMO yelled.
She pushed Jr. aside and ran out of the room.
Shion sat in her room, talking to KOS-MOS when there was a knock.
"Come in - MOMO?"
MOMO ran to Shion and wrapped her arms around her, crying.
"What's the matter MOMO?" Shion asked, though she already knew.
MOMO kept crying, unable to say the words. Shion petted MOMO's hair. KOS-MOS touched MOMO's sholder.
Jr. stood dumbfounded.
"I ... don't get it."
"It would seem so" chaos said, comming in the room.
"But I came to apologize!"
"Even so," chaos started, "there still may be doubts."
Meanwhile, MOMO continued to cry in Shion's arms ...
