Momo held her daughters hand as they walked through the massive crowd of people around them. Tagging behind her was a small pink suitcase. She drug it behind them holding the handle in her other hand. Momoka Had her little pink bunny wrapped in her free hand and a small backpack on her back. Her white layered hair was put up in a high pony tale with the small layers in the front down. She wore a emerald blue strapped dress that matched her eyes but with little white hiiwan flowers printed all over it. Her dress reached up to her knees and a very thin layer of white lace traced the bottom. The top part was a V shaped and had what looked like a white undershirt under it but only across the V shaped half. Momo wore a pink spaghetti-strapped shirt with a white skirt. Her hair put in a high pony-tail as well. The two of them entered the main entrance gate and walked to the assistance counter.

They waited in line for some time. People around them were all on top of each other, giving no room for anyone to really breath. Momo tightened her grip on Momoka's hand and pulled her closer to her. Her five-year-old daughter was on her way to her grandmothers for half the summer for a visit. They lived in New York and Momoka's grandmother lived in Florida. Quite a long ways away. It took forever to get Momo to allow Momoka to go by herself this summer though. She had a lot of work to do and didn't have time to go across a few states to see her mother this summer. But Momoka still wanted to. Finally her grandmother had convinced Momo to let her go and she would meet her before she had time to look around the air line. If only Momo knew, Momoka had canceled that trip a few hours ago. Now her grandmother thought she wasn't coming... but Momoka had better plains for this summer anyways... plans her mother had no clue about.

Momo's phone started to ring suddenly. She reached into her pocket, digging for the device. Then when she finally found it, she flipped it open. "Hello?" She answered sticking a finger in her other ear to block out the sounds around so she could hear the voice on the other end.

"Mrs. Hinamori, we hate to be a bother, but there is an emergency down here at the office. We need your assistance in a mater of minutes." The voice that sounded like a mans said to her. Momoka looked up at her mother. She had this look on her face every time something came up. Momoka was smart enough to figure out that most of the time when her mother had that look it ment that it was her job that had contacted her.

"I understand I'll be right there." She closed the phone and directed her attention to her daughter. "I need to get to the office right now, I'm gonna get the officer over there to watch you while you get your boarding pass and get on the plain. Momoka nodded and smiled. Momo leaned down and handed her daughter the money and passport, then kissed the top of her head. "I love you, be good." She said before getting up and starting to walk over to the officer. Momoka watched her mother chat with the man and then walk away, after that he had his eyes glued on her and it sorda made her feel weird.

Finally it was her turn and she handed over the money. " I need one boarding pass for the plain to California please." She said politely as she received her change and the pass. She walked over to the line to get on. 'Daddy here i come.'

The music was drilling into his head. The lights flashed from left to right. People danced crazily. Toshiro Hitsugaya, head football star and millionaire, watched the party go on in his mansion. There was a punch bowl next to him, where he was sitting. He didn't bother to touch it though. He was informed earlier that someone had spiked it with achole. And today wasn't the time. He shifted his gaze to the left noticing one of his life long friends heading his way. His orange spiked hair flowed gracefully as he walked. It never really did that though. You could tell he was just showing off at the moment.

"Hey, why aren't you picking up any chicks like ya usually do? It's not like you to just sit here." He said as he took a seat next to him. Toshiro turned his head back to the dance floor as he watched people dance.

"I don't know, it's just... i don't feel like being my crazy self tonight. I had a dream about her again. Her face fades more everyday." The man looked towards him.

"It's been six years, dude. If you guys were supposed to be together again, it would have happened by now. All we know she could be across the world right now married to some snobby guy with five kids. Ya never know where people end up in that amount of time. Unless you keep track of them... Which is pretty hard when ya devote your life to them and turn around and cheat on them with another girl." He looked down, watching the lights flash across the ground.

"I was stupid, okay? I tried everything to prove to her it was a mistake. She left anyway. I know it was my fault, I shouldn't be sobbing over spilt milk. You can always get it back in the glass but no matter what you'll always miss some. It wouldn't have been the same after that." He leaned back and looked up at the sealing. "But for some reason I feel I could have done something, something to fix it, maybe she'd still be here if i tried harder." Toshiro closed his eyes and sighed.

"Well what's done is done. Maybe you could have saved it maybe not. We've never known and we never will, so ya might as well dance with that girl coming this way. She's looking towards you." He pointed slightly towards a thin brown headed girl with blue eyes. She was walking towards them and she was very pretty. The man turn towards him and patted his shoulder before standing to leave. When he left Toshiro stood watching the girl approach him. When she had finally stopped in front of him, he didn't give her time to talk. He grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor. After a few songs and dances, Toshiro broke free and led her to the bar like area. They talked and joked for a while as they gotten more comfortable with each other.

It was three in the morning when everyone had left. Maids cleaned the house up as Toshiro went on to bed. He had received the girl from earlier's number and name which was Mandy. He was going to start a new relationship again hopefully this one being a success. Ever since he had met just one girl there was no one else who was good enough. He longed for her constantly. But he had always asked himself one thing. If she ever did come back, would he actually try to be with her again? It seemed like it now. But that was why he had cheated on her in the first place right. The fact tha...

His thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. He opened his eyes and gazed at the clock. it was nine in the morning and someone was at his door. Slowly he pulled himself out of bed and walked down the stairs. HE finally reached the door and twisted to knob. It clicked indicating it had unlocked and he opened the door. At first he saw no one he looked around for a minute then shrugged. Toshiro went to re close the door but a little voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Down here." A little girls voice said softly. Toshiro looked down at the little fragile looking child. She was holding a pink stuffed rabbit and had a suitcase in her other hand. Her soft emerald blue eyes sparkled as she looked up innocently at him. The wind blew and her snow white layered hair blew along with it. She giggled and opened her mouth to say something. "I finally found you Daddy! Your really good at hide in seek. I think i made your neighbors mad though for waking them all up looking for you." She giggled again softly. Toshiro stared down at her in disbelief. Oh God was he dreaming?

"Daddy?" He repeated the word out loud. Momoka looked up at him as her smile faded.

There's a time for growing up...

and yours as come...
