"Princess Momo your parents are here with your new guards." a servant told her.

"Fine, I'll head to the throne room right away" Momo replied with a sigh new guards... great She thought as she left for the throne room.

Momo walked into the throne room and was still captivated by its buety; its gold walls, the marble floor, the red carpet, and the rich tapastries around the room. Momo took her seat on the left side of the kings throne. She waited as her mother came into the room, she had a huge smile on her face.

"Momo, darling, how have you been? I've missed you so." The woman said to Momo

"I'm fine mother and where is daddy?" Momo asked her mother.

"He is out side talking to your new guards about the rules and how aleast one of them must be with you at aall times, except in the bathroom of course." She replied with a smile.

"MOOOOM!" Momo said emmbaressed before laughing.

Suddenly the door to the throne was opened and her father and two men came into the room, They both had white hair and emerald colord eyes that burned with passion, Momo was captivated by them, One was tall with long white hair and covered with leather armour, which no doubt hid chain mail under it. He had a scarr on his face coming from just above the right eye to just below the left. He had a magnificiant black cloak with the emblem of a wolf was stiched in it, He had two swords attached to his other had similar clothes except that he was short and had short, spicky hair instead of long and one sword instead of two, they were obviously brothers.

"Momo! Its so good to see you dear! How has my daughter been?" he asked with a smile.

"Fine father, are these my new guards?" she asked inquisitivly.

"Yes allow me to introduce them. This is Masenko and Toshiro Hitsugaya, they are brothers of the Hitsugaya clan, and excelent swordsman." He aid with confidence.

"Well it seems we are about to be tested sir. DUCK" The tall one named Masenko yelled.

The king dicked and Masenko's swords blocked an arrow from hitting the king. At that moment the one named Toshiro jumped into action. He ran to and up the wall and reached the would-be assassin before he got away and they started to fight. Toshiro's sword cut with a diamond slash as he jumped toward his opponent, the assassin parryed it and tried tokick out at Toshiro, Toshiro rolled under the foot and cut the mans hamstrings and disarmed him. Toshiro put his sword tip to the mans throught who was ato the edge of the window leading to the throne room.

"Fool this fall won't kill me!" The would-be assassin said with a smirk.

"I don't want to kill you" Toshiro replied cooly befor pushing him over the edge.

The assassin fell down 14 feet and land on his legs, which he broke, the palace guards wher immiediatly on him taking him to the dungeon.

"Thank you very much... both of you" Momo said to them as her father walked away.

"Its our job mam" Toshiro replied with a smile and a bow, Momo blushed a little when she saw him smile. Though that little blush was caught by her mother who smiled a bit. Masenko caught it to and his eyes turned to Toshiro with a knowing smile as he bowed. ohhh toshiro you've gone and done it now Masenko thought.

"Toshiro?" The queen asked him

Toshiro immidiatly snapped to attention, "Yes mam?" he replied.

"I have a question for you, since your a strapping young man, you must have girls who like you right?" she asked.

"Uhh, yes mam" he replied hesatintly.

"Tell me what do you think of my daughter? I've been trying to find a suiter for her, and I must know what men would think about her when they see her." she explained. Toshiro blushed a bit before his brother cut him off from answering.

"Excuse me can we talk about this after his life is no longer in jeapordy?" he asked.

"what do you mean" she asked.

"well I can sense your husband burning a hole in Toshiro's back" he replied.

They bowed and left before she could force Toshiro to answer leaveing with her husband.

"Mother! how could you do that?!" She asked.

"Well you haven't seemed to be attracted to any of the suiters I or your father picked out, then I saw you blush when he smiled at you so I assumed..." she let it hang before walking out.
