Once upon a time, in a far away place there lived a beautiful, outspoken young girl and her wonderful and loving father... Okay so maybe not in a far away place and maybe the girl wasn't beautiful or ouspoken. But there was a young girl, her name Momo Hinamori, that young girl was me, and my father, Sosuke Hinamori. We lived in Los Angles California, a beautiful place that I loved to call home. My mother passed away when I was very young so it was just me and my old man, and of course being raised by a man I missed out on the make-up and skirts and other wonderful things that came with being a girl. I never felt that I lacked anything though, my father loved me and we were happy.

My father owned a restaurant, Sosuke's, and there worked four of my closest friends Rangiku Matsumoto, my mothers best friend, Yachiru Kusajishi and her uncle and my father's best friend, Kenpachi Zaraki, and a relative of my mother's, not sure how they are related though, Yoruichi Shihouen. My life couldn't have been better.

Then my father met her, Soi Fong. They dated for a while and one night he came home and told me he had asked her to marry him, I remember his exact words. He had said "Now you'll have the mother you didn't have growing up." Those words always bothered me, echoed in the back of my mind. Was he marrying Soi Fong because he loved her, or because he thought I needed a mother? That question still haunts me to this day.

He was my best friend, and I was his. There was no questioning that, even when he started to warm up to Soi Fongs twin daughters Tatsuki and Orihime, mean and stupid. They had all taken our last name, Hinamori. Soi Fong said she wanted to real be a family and thought that would help. One night, there was an earth quake. my father was in my room reading me a story, a fairytale. I remember I asked him were princesses go to college, he had to stop and think for a moment then out came the words "Princesses and princes go to to Seireitei University of course." Right after that the earthquake shook the house and before I knew it he was leaving me to go see if Soi Fong and the girls were okay, he told me to stay put, that he'd be right back.

I lost my best friend that day.

Soi Fong had forced me to move up into the attic claiming she couldn't stand to look at my sad face anymore. Tatsuki and Orihime had giggled. I just remember getting up into the attic and crying for what felt like days. Soi Fong had gotten everything since my father didn't leave a will. She had gotten the cars, the house, the restaurant and to her utter despair... Me. Now 8 years later I am 17 going on 18 and so close to graduating high school and getting away from this hell hole I call home. I am Momo Hinamori and this is my not so fairytale life.
