That Which Unites Us
Meeting
"How many signatures?" Momo asked.
"One hundred!" came Kiyone's loud reply.
It really was a turnout. Not only the soccer players but most of the student body came. People were signing the paper left and right. Momo was surprised that this many people actually came.
"All we have to do now is show this to the Coach," Kiyone said.
Oh dear God, Momo had forgotten they had to show the coach the paper. She would definitely disapprove.
Kiyone saw the doubtful look on her friend's face and said," Have a little faith. Maybe she will let it pass."
Momo sighed, knowing that this will most likely end in a detention.
"Hey, we need another piece of paper," Isane called from the desk that students were lining up in front of. "Toshiro wants to sign it."
"You mean Toshiro Hitsugaya?" Kiyone said, her fan girl mode on. "I'm on it."
Momo looked over to the white haired boy standing if front of the desk. Girls with hearts in their eyes tried to glomp him.
'Disgusting,' Momo thought with a grimace.
Rangiku Matsumoto always said that Momo was born without hormones. Which, of course, wasn't true. She did like Toshiro, but she wouldn't go over and glomp him. She was just born without a fan girl mode.
Momo didn't notice that she was staring, and when Toshiro spotted her, she turned her head and pretended to look at something else. She could feel the heat rising to her face, though, giving her away.
She definitely has hormones.
"Hurry up, Kiyone!" Isane yelled.
"I'm coming!" Kiyone called, running toward Isane with a stack of papers in her hands. It was easy to guess where that would lead.
Kiyone tripped over her feet and fell face flat on the floor, sending papers everywhere. Momo shook her head and walked over to the poor girl. She picked up the papers, some of which were crinkled at the edges.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see Toshiro Hitsugaya holding some papers.
"Thanks," she said, taking the papers.
"No problem," Toshiro said.
Momo pulled Kiyone back up, steadying her friend as she wobbled.
"You okay?" Momo asked.
Kiyone nodded her head in response. Then, seeing Toshiro standing next to Momo, she fainted.
"Geez, Kiyone, you weigh a ton," Momo said, trying to pick Kiyone's limp body up.
"Here, let me help," Toshiro said.
He took Kiyone's body with ease and held her bridal style.
"Where should we put her?" Toshiro asked.
"Um, just throw her in the storage closet," Momo said, thinking of no other place to put her.
Toshiro wondered if it was the best place to put a person who just passed out, but did it anyway.
"Attention everyone!" Isane called. "We have finally reached two hundred fifty signatures!"
Claps and whistles sounded throughout the room. Momo walked over to Isane.
"But now we have to hand it over to the Coach," Momo said. "And Kiyone is, um, incapacitated."
"I'll come with you," Toshiro said. "I have to give it to Coach Zaraki anyway."
Momo smiled.
"Thank you so much."
Isane handed Momo the petition and she headed over to the coach's office with Toshiro.

"No."
That was Coach Soi Fon's answer. Simple and clear.
"But you know the team will do horrible this season if we don't have another set of tryouts," Momo said.
"Our team is perfectly fine," Soi Fon said, though she knew they sucked.
She just didn't want to be proved wrong.
"C'mon, what'll you lose?" Momo asked.
"Time," the coach answered. "We have one week before the first game of the season."
"It only takes three days for tryouts," Momo pressed.
"Listen, I'm the coach, I make the decisions. No petition can make me change my mind."
"That's right," Toshiro said. "And as a coach, you want to have the best team. The other schools' coaches are probably laughing at you right now."
Soi Fon fumed.
"Those fools can't even handle their own team!" Soi Fon shouted. "How dare they. Okay, we're going to hold another set of tryouts to make the Ookamis the best team!"
And so, Coach Soi Fon announced the second set of tryouts for the girl's soccer team.
-0-
"Yes."
That was Coach Kenpachi Zaraki's answer. Simple and clear.
"Those candy-ass wimps are making my team shitty," Kenpachi said.
"Thanks, coach," Toshiro said, surprised at how easy it was.
Momo and Toshiro left the coach to polish the pocket knife he always carried around.
"Coach Zaraki is scary," Momo said, walking as fast as she could down the hall.
"I know," Toshiro answered, walking equally as fast.
They had convinced both the coaches to hold new tryouts. That was the hard part. Now they have to organize the entire thing. Hopefully, that will be easier than it sounds.
(A/N) So tell me. What do you think? Good, bad, so-so? I need feedback, people! -ahem- review for this cuddly teddy bear!
