Shattered
Chapter 2: The New Girl
Momo put her hair up in a perfect bun and tied a piece of string around it. She looked at herself in the mirror to make sure she looked good for her first day at a new school. She wore a tan skirt with a grey short-sleeve shirt that had the insignia of the 10th Division from Bleach [she's a HUGE fan of Toshiro Hitsugaya] on the back. She wondered if she was missing something. She grabbed 2 pairs of shoes; knee-high white converses or blue flip-flops. She looked between the both. She didn't know which one to choose.
"Momo! Get down here! You're gonna miss the bus!" Her grandma called from downstairs.
"Coming, obaa-san!" Momo called and threw her blue flip-flops to the side and running downstairs.
"Ready?" Her grandma said.
"Hai." Momo said, sitting down and zipping up her converses.
"Wow, Hinamori. You look good." Her little brother said. Momo blushed slightly and smiled radiently.
"Arigato." She said.
"Here's your bookbag with your school supplies and here comes your bus. Good luck." Her grandma said. Momo nods and headed for the door. For some reason, she was excited to be the new kid at Osaka. She's never been in Japan before, even though it's her heritage. And, she heard that she has a hot guy as a guide. She hoped he wasn't gay [even though it'd be cool for a yaoi sometimes].
Momo walked out of her house and inhaled the fresh, warm summer air. She loved this season. She walked to the sidewalk and waited for the bus. As she waited, she couldn't help but think what kind of school she is going to walk into. She shivered with delight. Oh, how she LOVED mysteries.
The bus rounded a corner at her left and started heading her way. She braced herself. It stopped infront of her, the STOP signs on the sides came forward, and then the doors opened. Momo walked onto the bus and then all eyes were on her. She blushed and the door closed. She scanned the rows for a possible seat as the bus gently jerked forward and continued to ride down the street. She finally found a seat. But only one person was sitting there. He had orange-spikey hair with brownish eyes. His headphones were around his neck and he stared out of the window. She gulped. He's pretty cute, she thought. She walked down the aisle and stopped at the seat. He didn't notice her standing there.
"Excuse me?" She said, politely. He didn't hear her either. His music is too loud. "Um, pardon me, sir?" She said again. When he looked up at her, she recognized him. "Hey, wait a minute." She said. He stared at her, with a confused look on his face. "Aren't you Ichigo Kurosaki? From Bleach?" She said.
"Yyeeaahh." He said, slowly. "Wait, how did you know?" He questioned.
"I'm a fan of Bleach. Um, Hinamori Momo." She held out her hand for a handshake. He took her hand and shook it. "Is this seat taken?" She said.
"Nah. You can sit here." He said, politely. She smiled and sat down next to him. The hole bus ride to the school, as they talked about was Bleach and other favorite TV shows. They immediatly became friends. The bus unloaded and they walked off of the bus, side by sde, and talking about a show about paranormal and ghosts.
"I mean, have you seen that episode?" Momo said.
"No I haven't. Remind me again?" He said.
"Okay, Zak, Nick, and Aaron were investigating a mine or something, I can't remember what episode exactly, but Zak gets grabbed in the ass by a ghost." Momo explained.
"Nani? Are you joking!" He said. She laughs.
"No joke. He flipped out. Well, sort of." She said.
"I've only seen one episode of Ghost Adventures. Now I'm totally into it!" Ichigo said, smiling. Momo laughs. Then Ichigo's world stopped. That's when he saw her. His crush, his lover...Orihime Inoue. She wore a plaid skirt with a white, button-up shirt that was short-sleeved. Her under-shirt was green, a color that made her grey eyes pop out. Speaking of her eyes, they were gently outlined in black eyeliner and mascara. Her blue flower hair-clips shined from the sun beating down on her orange hair. Ichigo sighed, gracefully. Momo looked at him, then at Orihime, then back to Ichigo.
"Ah, I see." She put her hands on her hips. Ichigo looked at her. "You're inlove with her. Aren't you?" She smiled devilishly. Ichigo panicked.
"Ha! I knew it! I can see it in your eyes!" She said. Ichigo covered his ears.
"La la la la la la la la! I can't hear youuuu!" He said. Orihime looked their way and smiled radiently once she made eye contact with Ichigo. She walked over to him.
"Hello, Ichigo." She said politely. Ichigo blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Hi, Orihime." He said. She smiled.
"...I'll...just, uh...go get my, uh...schedule! Yeah, that's it! My schedule. So I'm just gotta...yeah, bye." Momo said and quickly left the two 'lovers'. She looked at the school map and found her way to the Principal's Office to recieve her schedule. She opened the door.
"Excuse me? I'm Hinamori Momo and I need my schedule." She said. The principal looked up at her.
"Oh, come in, come in. Take a seat. You're guide will be here any minute." She said. Momo walked in and sat down. The principal grabbed Momo's schedule and handed it to her. "Here's your schedule." She said.
"Oh, arigato." Momo said and took it. The principal nodded. A knock came from the door.
"Come in." The principal said. The door opened and someone stepped in. Momo was too busy scanning her schedule to even notice there was another person in the room.
"Sorry I'm late. Ichigo made me loose the bus." He said. Momo paused.
"How does he know Ichigo?" She thought before slowly turning around. She looked up into greenish-blue eyes. He was beautiful. His hair was pure white that was spiked. He wore white skinnyjeans with blue wrinkles on it and suspenders handing down the sides of his legs. He had a Element t-shirt on with a blue and grey checkered jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. She stared at him with wide eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest. And time stopped when he looked straight at her.
"Hinamori Momo, meet your guide, Toshiro Hitsugaya." The principal said. Momo couldn't believe her eyes. THE Toshiro Hitsugaya was standing IN FRONT of her. Her idol from Bleach was standing IN FRONT of her and looking right at her. She then started to think that Bleach WAS real after all.
"Hi." Toshiro said. Momo snapped out of it.
"H-Hello." She said. He moved aside, gesturing to the door.
"Shall we get started?" He said.
"H-Hai." She said and grabbed her stuff.
"If you need anything, lemme know." The principal said. Momo nods and Toshiro and her left the office and headed down the hall.
"We have the exact same schedule. So you can just follow me around for a fews days until you get the hang of it. M'k?" He said. Momo nods, avoiding to look at him because she's afraid she'll do or say something stupid.
"Yo, Toshiro!" Someone said. Momo looked up to see Ichigo waving his hand over his head, as a signal to get Toshiro's attention.
"Yo!" Toshiro greeted back and they walked over to him.
"So, you're her guide, eh?" Ichigo said.
"Hai." Toshiro said. Ichigo wrapped his arm around his best friends' shoulders.
"You don't really need to worry about Toshiro, here. He's not that bad of a kid." Ichigo said. Toshiro gave him a glare. "But he's the bad boy of the school. Get in his way or in his face, he'll rip you apart." Ichigo said. Momo had a frightened look on her face.
"Ichigo." Toshiro warned.
"Nani?" Ichigo said. Toshiro lifted his hand and bonked Ichigo on the top of his head, as hard as he could. Ichigo takes his arm away and rubs his head, exclaiming in pain.
"OW!" He yelled.
"Urusai! Way to scare the new kid!" Toshiro yelled. Ichigo straightened up, still rubbing his head.
"Gomenesai." Ichigo said. Toshiro sighed.
"Now then, let's go to first period." He said. Momo giggled at Ichigo before nodding at Toshiro. They walked down the hallway, heading for History. Momo looked up at her guide.
"Toshiro?" She said. He looked at her. "...Can we...be friends?" She asked, innocently. He scanned her face before smiling a little. Her heart reaced. He looked ahead.
"Sure, why not." He said. Momo smiled, glad to have a hot guy as a friend [maybe not as a friend in the future, wink wink]. She looked ahead, having a delightful emotion that made her want to skip down the hall. But she wanted to keep her cool. So she simply just kept smiling. She looked up at her crush and blushed a little when he slanted his gaze and looked at her.
It was rare for Toshiro to let someone easily become his friend. Letting someone in wasn't normal for him. But he thinks he'll be able to handle it. After a touch childhood with his parents "dying", he thinks he should make as much friends as possible.
THE END
AUTHORS NOTE: I bet you are wondering why I put dying in quotation marks I: ... it gives you a little hint. But here's a SLIGHT SPOILER...his parents did die but live in Toshiro! IF YOU GET WHAT I MEAANN, review plz! If you don't, review anyway, i'll tell you what i mean [maybe...possibly...who knows]. Arigato!
