The promise
The plane smoothly glided through the air. The sky was calm and was a creamy blue with pristine white clouds floating in the sky. A 16-year-old girl looked at the view outside the plane, she smiled gently at the beautiful view right in front of her. A voice was calling her name but she didn't heard because she was lost in thoughts.
"Momo, Momo, Momo Hinamori!" a gentle voice called, she had soft brown eyes and long chestnut brown hair that reached her back
The young teen flinch and looked around, a worried expression was on her mothers face.
"Honey, are you okay?" she questioned worryingly and putted her hand on the teen's forehead and hers.
"Mum, I'm fine" she sweetly replied and gently pushed her mothers hand away from her head. "I'm just a little tired" a yawn escaped her mouth.
"Momo, you should sleep, we will be on the plane for a while until it lands" the teens mum suggested while gently stroking her daughters head
The brunette nodded and moved about until she was in a comfortable position to sleep in. She began slowly drifting into sleep and dreamt about her childhood in Japan.
"Hey Snowy, come and play with me" a young girl with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes ran towards a boy who was sitting on the swings by himself.
He had pristine, soft white hair and emerald green eyes, the other child turned around and saw a smiling Momo. "No" he replied blankly and returned back to staring the very interesting spot in the air.
"C'mon, don't be so mean Snowy" she pouted and had her arms cross.
"No means no, besides…" he was cut off by Hinamori. "Besides, there is nothing to do. Everything is so boring right?" she ended his sentence for him.
Toshiro and Momo weren't that close, they were just neighbours. Hinamori always beg Hitsugaya to join her to play but he would always decline and go away by himself.
He got off the swings and began walking away, hands stuffed in his pocket. He was already acting like a moody teenager when he was 8 years old. The brunette quickly followed behind and giggled to herself. The white haired boy felt very uncomfortable, her being behind him and laughing to herself.
He quickly turned around and gave her a small glare, Momo flinch. Then he began walking away again but this time the cheerful girl didn't followed behind, instead she stood behind and her head was facing her feet. Tears began to roll down her soft face. Toshiro heard some noise behind him and look behind, thinking it was some kind of joke the girl set up. He turned around looking annoyed. But the annoyed face soon turned into a shocked.
He saw the cheerful girl, crying her eyes out. He ran towards her and gently put his small hand on her shoulders.
"What's wrong?" his face was worried and his tone turned completely
She stopped looking down and rubbed her newly red eyes and looked at Toshiro. She sniffed gently and whisper quietly" do you hate me?". The white haired boy eyes widened 'Do I hate her...where did she got that from' he asks himself. Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya turquoise eyes and waited for a reply. He shook his head, Momo frowned "then why do you always act like I annoy you or something?" she questioned angrily. Toshiro shrugged and looked at his feet's. Momo frowned and looked at the nervous white haired boy, waiting for a proper answer.
"I guess, I don't know how to communicate with people…you see I find it hard to express my feelings" Hitsugaya explained
Momo looked at him blankly and her lips curved upwards into a large grin. "Then I'll teach you!, if you promise to play with me everyday…from now on" she held out her pinkie in front of Toshiro. He looked at it for a second and held out his pinkie as well, the two pinkies shake each other gently. Hinamori giggled "Pinkie promise!" .He just nodded in return but he felt really happy to have his first friend ever.
Months passed and those two soon became best friends, they were always together no matter what. Toshiro also became more open with people especially Momo. But soon the news came.
Momo slowly walked towards the trees that were on top of the hill, which was always the place where those two meet. She gently rubbed her swollen eyes and forced herself to smile, she didn't want Toshiro to be worried. The young girl reached the large peach tree and sat on the dry green grass, she rested her back onto the tree. She sighed depressingly and waited for her best friend to come.
5 minutes later a white haired boy arrived, he sat next to Momo. Hinamori quickly turned around and forced a smile at the white haired boy, he gave her a small smile back but frown realising there was something wrong with her. That wasn't her usual way of greeting, she would always shouted very loudly "Snowy!" and gave him a big hug but today was different, very different.
Both of them sat in silence, Toshiro started fidgeting, feeling very uncomfortable with the unusual silence. Momo still felt depressed of the news her mum gave her this morning, she closed her eyes and gave out a big sigh. The white haired boy looked at her confusingly and questioned her behaviour today.
"What's wrong with you today?" he questioned the sad girl. She looked up and saw Toshiro worried expression. A silent tear escaped her eyes, soon more and more came out her swollen eyes. Hitsugaya eyes widened and were even more confused.
"Seriously what is wrong?" he said softly. She looked at him sadly while tears escaped her eyes and rolled down her soft cheek. She couldn't stand it anymore and wrapped her little arms around her best friend, while bursting into tears. He gently putted his hands on Hinamoris back and gently stroke it, to comfort her.
Their hug lasted for 5 minutes and then Momo soon became calmer, she gently pulled back her arms and gave Hitsugaya a sweet smile.
"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he questioned again. She looked at him and gulped.
"I'm moving tomorrow" she replied sadly, her voice was hoarse and unsteady. The white haired boy eyes widened and tried to keep his cool.
"T-to where?, is it far?" he stuttered. She nodded and looked right into Toshiro emerald green eyes sadly. "Where?" he asked softly but there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
"New York" Momo replied sadly and her eyes started getting wet again. Toshiro looked away to hide his tears. There was a silence again.
"Momo!, time to get home, we will be leaving early tomorrow" the brunettes mum shouted from far away, while waving at her 8 year old daughter.
"I'm coming!" Hinamori shouted back to her mum, while getting up. She began walking away until a hand grabbed her wrist. Momo turned around and her eyes softened.
"I'll miss you" he said softly
"I'll miss you too!" she burst out crying again and hugged him tightly, the white haired boy hugged her back. She withdrawn from their hug and gave Toshiro a wide grin. The brunette grabbed his hand and putted a plastic bead bracelet on his hand.
"Please remember me" she said softly to her best friend and left quickly. Hitsugaya smile sadly at the fading body and looked at the colourful bracelet.
He looked at it surprisingly, there was three beads that were together and had engraves letters on them. 'T&M' he read the letters and smiled.
Ding Dong- Attention to all passengers, the plane is going to land in 10 minutes, please fasten your seatbelts. Thank you.
Momo flinch and looked at window. It was all dark nothing could be seen. She rubbed her eyes and thought how long did she sleet for. Just remembered her dream she smiled to herself and thought happily. 'I hope he remembers me'
