Chapter 1

The slum

"Well, Momo. Are you happy now? I hope so. I gave you what you wanted." Goro said. "Your wish is granted."

Momo was confused.

"My…wish?" she asked, in a voice barely above a whisper.

"You wanted to sleep with me right?" he asked her.

Momo Adachi shuddered as she replayed the events of the evening before in her head.

"What did you do…while I was asleep?" she screamed, not being able to fight back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

"What are you talking about? You were awake the whole time." He said with a slight smirk. "You worked up a real sweat."

Momo paused. Was this just some sick- minded game to him? How could he think that she had enjoyed it and was awake the whole time? And just what in the hell was so funny about any of this?!

"You…You're lying! LIAR!! I wouldn't let you touch me! Toji's the only one I'd ever let touch me!!" she yelled at him. She wanted this whole damn hotel to know that Goro, the world famous super-model, had raped her. He had molested her in that very hotel room, claiming that she's been awake.

"Hold on! Don't tell me! You don't remember anything?" he asked her.

Momo hated to relive this event, but it kept coming back to haunt her. Momo felt tears welling up in her eyes once again.

"How could this have happened?" she asked herself aloud. "How could I have let this happen?"

She sat, face down, on her bed and let the tears come, soaking her comforter. As much as she wanted to file suit, she knew that that would just force her to relive it, in front of a grand jury and a judge. That was one thing that she did not want to do.

"How could I have let my virginity be stolen by this…this…gigolo?!" she asked herself, the tears still flowing from her eyes.

As much as she wanted to hate Goro forever for all he'd done, she couldn't forget the look of pain in his eyes when she had told him that she hadn't told Sae any of that. Sure, there was a chance that it had just been because he had wasted his entire night, but Momo was sure that it had been more than that. She still wondered if Toji would still love a 'dirty girl'.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After the break-up…..

Momo stared at Toji.

"What?" Momo asked, unable to believe it. "Now…What's going on, Toji? Why are you saying this?"

"Well…I'm just tired of everything. I'm sorry…" he said.

Momo couldn't believe it. He had sworn to protect her, and here he was, leaving her behind? How could he be doing this to her? Momo could see the pained look in Toji's eyes, as if he'd just done something that cost him his life. Tears welled up yet again in her eyes. She had been doing a lot of crying lately.

Now that she had lost everything dear to her, there was nothing left to lose.

"Screw you." She muttered.

"What?" he asked. He seemed slightly taken aback.

"I said, screw you!" she yelled.

The ride had come to a stop. She ran out before the door had even opened entirely. Toji stood and cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Momo! Wait! Let me explain!" he called out to her.

"There's nothing to explain!" Momo yelled. "I get it! I know exactly why you did it! You don't want to date anyone that you would have to protect! I see what you're saying! And I guess I can protect myself!"

Momo turned and ran toward the park exit. She hoped that he wasn't following her. The last thing she needed was to have him follow her home. She turned and watched him glance down at his watch. She saw his eyes widen. Then he ran towards her. He passed her as she stood still, without even glancing at her. Momo watched him run off into the distance.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Momo was at home. She been there, curled up in the bed for seventeen days straight. She hadn't answered her phone, and she hadn't returned any calls. She had been better for a week now, entirely cold-free. But she didn't want to have to face Toji again. She had heard from on of Taki's phone messages that Toji was now seeing Sae. Momo knew why, too. She didn't have to have protection. She could protect herself. Momo picked up the phone and began to dial Kiley's number, but stopped. She didn't' want to face him either, she realized. Her mother had brought her food, which she had eaten some of, but not all. She knew that she had to have lost at least five pounds.

"Why couldn't he realize that it was Sae?!" Momo asked herself. "You would have thought that he would have known his own girlfriend."

Momo stopped. She sat back and thought about what she had just said.

"But maybe…maybe he knew it was Sae. And he…he…went ahead with it." Momo said.

The more she thought about this concept, the more she thought it to be true.

"And maybe…he helped Sae plan it out."

This brought tears to Momo's eyes.

"Why, Toji? Why did you do this to me? How could you?!" She yelled. "Damn you, Toji!"

Momo began to cry again. She thought of this concept a few times before, but had easily thought it impossible. But now, as she sat here, thinking about it more in depth, she began to realize how true it may be. She shook her head, refusing to believe that he would do that to her. But then she stopped. She remembered eighteen days before. She looked back on what had happened, reluctantly.

"Let's break up." Toji said, barely even glancing at Momo.

Momo stared at Toji.

"What?" Momo asked, unable to believe it. "Now…What's going on, Toji? Why are you saying this?"

"Well…I'm just tired of everything. I'm sorry…" he said.

How could he be, 'tired of everything', as he'd said? He had sworn that, 'she shouldn't worry. He'd never let it happen', and now he was, 'tired or everything'?! She had been his sworn protector, and now he was one of her worst enemies. She knew what she wanted to do.

She picked up her phone and dialed Kiley. The phone on the other end rang. After about five rings, a familiar voice answered.

"Hello?" It was Kiley.

"H…Hey." Momo responded.

"Momo?! Is that you?! Oh, my god! It's been seventeen days since you been at school! Where've you been?" Kiley asked exitedly.

"I…Uh…at first I had a cold. Ha…It was awful. But…Uh…Now, I'm just not sure if I want to come back to school." Momo said.

Silence.

"Why not?" Kiley asked.

"I just…Uh…I…How do I put this? I don't want to face Toji." Momo said. "He completely ruined my trust! He left me!"

"I kinda figured that out. You see, he's been hanging around with…"

"Sae. Yeah. I know. Taki told me…Well…Actually she told my answering machine. I didn't want to answer for anyone. I wasn't going to answer for you either, but I decided that I needed to talk to you. You see…I…I think…Maybe…Toji may have worked with Sae to plan what happened." Momo said.

"What?! Why do you think that?" Kiley screamed.

"Well, he had to have known that it wasn't me. Maybe he didn't know it was Sae, but he had to have known that it was not me. Even with the lights out, you could tell the hair was darker. Plus, a wig feels totally different from regular hair! He would have known that it was fake hair. And he would have had to have had a feeling that it wasn't me! He dated me long enough.! He should have known that it wasn't me that he was kissing." Momo explained simply.

"How could you say that?! He loved you! I don't know why I'm helping him, but I am! He cared so much about you, that he gave you up! How could you even think something like that?!" Kiley asked. "And maybe he was right in letting you go."

Kiley hung up. Momo pressed the "end" button on her phone. She set it down on the bedside table. Then, she sat her head down and cried.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Momo now knew that she couldn't face any of them again. Not Toji, Kiley, Sae, or even Kako. She knew that she would have to leave her old life behind. And she knew exactly how to do it. She packed her bag and threw it over her shoulder. She scribbled a note for her mother. It read:

Dear Mom,

I hate to do this, but I am leaving home. Maybe for a little while, maybe forever. But however long I am going to be gone, I am going to miss you the entire time. Tell Kako I said goodbye, and tell anyone else who calls that I'll be home eventually. Don't try to find me, because you won't be able to. I'll have my cell phone, though, so give me a call every once in a while. See you sometime!

Love,

Momo

Momo sighed and put the note by her mother's bed. She smiled. She knew what she was going to call herself, too. Shimihara Aourouna. Mihara for short. She heard the phone ring. She turned to answer it, then shook her head.

"Nah. I'll just let the machine get it." she muttered.

She took a deep breath, then, opening the door, walked outside, shutting it tightly behind her.

Inside, the machine clicked, the began to roll.

"Hello! You've reached the house of the Adachi's! We're either bathing, out, or simply don't want to talk to you!" Momo's voice said.

"Momo! That's impolite!" her mother's voice was heard.

"Sorry, but it's true! Anyway, leave a message at the tone and we'll attempt to get back to you (If we want to)! Thanks!" Momo spoke again.

There was a beep, the the tape picked up the caller's message.

"Hey, Momo. It's Kiley. If you're there, I'm sorry. If you're not...forget it. Bye."

There was a small click as the message finished recording. Then, the light on top of the answering machine began flashing, letting everyone know about the new message.
