A.N- Okay, I apologize profusely for my bad formatting and spelling errors in the previous chapter. It is my first story I've published with fanfiction after all _'. And even though I didn't get any reviews, I'm soldiering on. I want my story to be heard…er…read :P
Summary: Their meeting was so coincidental and cliché that it was almost laughable, but what blossomed from that was so much more. The kind of love that can only be described as: Destiny
Chapter 2
MOMO'S P.O.V
As I entered Rangiku's store I hollered, "Ohayo Rangiku-san!"
From somewhere unknown in the shop I could here a muffled,
"Ah! Momo-chan you're here!" She then popped out from behind a table with a box, (containing God knows what), in her arms. She was pouting.
'They tried to strangle me.' Putting down all my stuff and taking a seat at one of the nail table thingys (A.N: I don't know what you call them). I decided to humor her and asked,
'Who tried to strangle you?' She then pushed out her chest and simply replied, 'My boobs.' I just sweatdropped at that.
She talks about them like they're people O_o
'So how was the first day of school?' She enquired, snapping me out of my thoughts. I thought about it for a while before replying, 'It was okay…except for one thing…'
Rangiku cocked her head at that whilst unpacking whatever was in the box, 'And what was that 'one thing'?'
'Well... I fell ,but someone caught me but when I turned around to thank him, he just walked off.' Rangiku just looked at me and said, 'So?'
Now I'm beginning to feel stupid.
Rangiku's right. So what? It's no big deal. Still, I have to prove my point
"What do you mean 'so?'! He walked off. What if he walked off because it was me? It makes me feel like I'm a bad person.' I pouted and Rangiku laughed.
'Momo! It's not that big a deal. So he walked away. Maybe he was late for something? I dunno, but you're worrying over nothing. You're one of the best people I know.'
She ruffled my hair and continued with a mischievous look on her face, 'You know….I think you like this boy. That's why you're so upset!'
I rolled my eyes at that, 'You say that every time I complain about a boy.'
She replied, 'But it's different this time.' I rolled my eyes again and said sarcastically, 'Sure it is.'
Rangiku then got up and walked towards the window. It seemed as if she was looking for someone. She scowled and said, 'Well it looks as if he's not coming.'
'Who's not coming?' I asked, my curiosity ignited.
'Someone else who's also very close to me. How annoying! I wanted to tell you both together. You know? Kill two birds with one stone.' She complained.
My curiosity now fully aroused, I asked her,
'What are you talking about Ran?'
She walked up to me, sat on the table and took my hand.
'Well Momo-chan…there's only one way to say this…'
I nodded my head in encouragement.
'I'm getting married!'
She held up her hand as proof.
I sat there taking in the words but not registering them. When it hit me, I exploded, 'AAH! Ran! You're getting married? When? How?' I exclaimed with delight.
'Mhmm Gin proposed two days ago.'
My eyes widened. 'You've been keeping this from me for two days? I can't believe you!' I said in mock-anger.
I wrapped my arms around her, 'Ah Ran! I'm so happy for you!' I pulled back with a gleam in my eye. 'Tell me everything.'
At that her eyes lit up and she delved into a detailed account of her proposal. 'Well it was like this. After we went to our favourite restaurant on Wisteria Place we went to a bar and he pulled me to the side. He said, 'Ran you're my….'
I watched her talking and I thought that she had never looked happier. I never liked her boyfriend much but he made her happy and that's what counts, right?
I giggled for no apparent reason other than the fact that I was giddy with excitement. All I can say now is that she better make her Maid-of-Honor :P
HITSUGAYA'S P.O.V (At school)
Man! Momo being a stalker was such a downer yesterday. I couldn't even sleep because I was having nightmares of her bugging random things like my cereal and wearing this really evil grin.
I'm interrupted from my thoughts with a slight tug on my shirt. I turn around and I see her. Yuki.
'Toshiro, we need to-' she started but I cut her off, 'No. Yuki we've talked about this. We're over. It's just not the same anymore.'
With that I took my stuff and I went to class. I was mulling over what happened in my classes, not really paying attention (A.N: We know he doesn't need to anyway) and by the time lunch came by, I was utterly and completely pissed off. While I was packing away my things I noticed some irregular movement on my right. It was Hinamori.
Oh no.
She noticed me looking so she smiled. That ticked me off, I don't really know why. She started talking, 'Um…*ano..Hitsugaya-kun …*gomenasai. Yesterday I didn't get to-' I cut her off there (A.N: He seems to be in the habit of doing that :P)
'Save it.' I told her and put my hand up to show her that I wanted her to stop talking.
'Do you think I'm stupid? Are you that desperate to meet me? You probably heard that Yuki and I broke up and thought this was the best time to 'supposedly' meet me. You probably even thought you were being really clever by pretending to fall on me. Well I'm sick of all of you. So stop trying because it's actually quite pathetic.' I finished off by giving her one of my worst glares.
She had this shocked and confused look on her face so I decided to simplify it for her, 'Don't you understand? I don't. want. To be. With. You,' I said really slowly whilst adding hand movements.
All of a sudden her face turned red and she had this murderous look about her. She started yelling, ' Who the hell do you think you are? All I wanted to do was apologize for falling on you and thank you for catching me! Well you can forget it now jerk! I can't believe I thought you were a nice person! You know what? I think now that I'd much rather have fallen on the floor. Even it would have more manners than you! I'm not even surprised you broke up with your girlfriend. She probably couldn't even stand you anyway. Who would wanna meet you? Asshole!'
With that, she stuck her nose in the air and walked away. I was stunned. I stood there not moving an inch. No one had ever spoken to me like that before. Suddenly I felt my blood run cold.
Wh-What if she wasn't a stalker? What if she was genuinely getting her nails done? Oh shit! What did I do?...'
Abarai came up behind me and pulled me away from my thoughts. 'Woah! Momo is pissed! What did you do? She's never lost her temper like that before.
When the words sunk in I replied, 'I accused her of being a crazy-fan-girl-stalker.' Abarai whistled.
'Well you'd better apologize fast.' I looked at him puzzled, 'Why?' I asked him.
'Why do you think idiot?' He said, 'You hurt her feelings.'
With that he walked off, leaving me feeling like the prick I was.
Great… What did I get myself into now?
MOMO'S P.O.V
Grrr. Damn that Hitsugaya! Making me feel all mad. It's not like me at all. I still can't believe what a jerk he is!'
'Woah Momo! You might stab a hole through the table if you keep going like that." Was what Rukia said when she noticed how many times I was stabbing my poor, innocent, surprisingly delicious Greek salad.
'Ah…Gomen Rukia-chan. I'm just a little frustrated, nothing to worry about.'
She raised her eyebrow at me and said, 'Tell us everything.' With Hime nodding her head in the backround. So I told them everything starting from yesterday.
'That jerk!' Rukia exclaimed after I told them what had happened. 'Is that really what he said?' Hime asked with big eyes.
'I say we go and kick his ass right now!' Rukia said vehemently.
'Kick whose ass?' asked Ichigo as he came to stand behind Rukia .
'Yours.' She replied. Ichigo sat down and smirked.
'Can't kick it if I'm sitting down.'
Rukia smirked back, 'Wanna bet?'
'You're on!' he declared foolishly and then proceeded to argue with Rukia like they do everyday.
'Ano…Momo-chan…' I heard Hime hesitantly say, 'Maybe he was having a bad day?' I briefly considered what she said and then nodding I said, 'Yeah..maybe…He did say he broke up with Yuki.'
'*NANI?' was Ichigo and Rukia's co-joined reaction, paused in the middle of their 'fight'. I nodded my head again, 'He told me himself that he broke up with her. It must've happened sometime in the holiday…'
'Woah! But they were so close. Like they had their hands in each others back pockets. Something big must've happened,' said Rukia, gossip-mode immediately turned on and forgetting completely about her 'fight' with Ichigo.
'No wonder he went douche-bag on you Momo. Still, we cannot condone his behavior. That is why me and Inoue will glare at him when he walks past. I would do more but he might put a restraining order on me too.' She said referring to last year's man-in-a-chappy-suit incident. She was mad at the man for pretending to be something waay superior to him, so she said a few things to him that may have scarred him for life.
'That's okay Rukia,' I quickly reassure her, not wanting her to get into trouble for me.
'You don't have to worry about it. It's not that big a deal.'
I ate the rest of my lunch in silence whilst listening to Hime talk about her latest culinary venture: Meat loaf covered in a chocolate & bean sauce with a side of jelly. Just thinking about it made me feel sick so I tuned out for a bit.
(SIGH) I wonder why he said all those things to me. Do I look like the stalkerish type? Tch. Jerk. Thinking he's like the best thing since sliced bread. I'll show him! He doesn't know me! Where does he get off saying things like that? Grrr…that idiot shouldn't be allowed in my thoughts. I have to stop thinking
about him…Think about Ran's wedding. There. That's better…
