Chapter Two: Peach
"Y--our peach?"Karin stammered.
"Thats right"Ikkau said.
"Who are you? Another fan.. I know it must be shocking to take in right now, to meet us but---"Yumchika said.
"No way! Stop being too full of yourself"Karin snapped.
"My this girl is fistsy"Ikkau said.
"Certainly not beautiful"Yumchika said.
"URESAI, you freaks!"Karin screamed. She couldn't help it, they were annoying her.
"Freaks? Excuse me we didn't do anything wrong "Nanao said.
"Yeah and you can't just call my boyfriend a freak, I know he's weird but geez"Isane said.
"Ah... Yumi-kun...... Isane-chan... Nana... Ikkau please can we stop the arguing?"Momo pleaded but no one was listening to her.
"Short"
"Bald"
"Ugly peacock face"
"Purple hair freak"
"Glasses nerd"
"Hey you can't say that about Nana"
"Yeah she can't help being short sited"
"Maybe it's cause your guys have brain cells that are so small".
Two frown lines appear on Toushiro's face. He was getting annoyed with this and was about to do something when...
"URESAI! Stop FIGHTING!"Momo shouted.
Everyone in the room was silent then.
"This... This... This wasn't supposed to happen... I wanted to sort things out with everyone in this academy... Not make a bad impression... I..."Momo said.
Toushiro's teal eyes widened, as crystal tears fell from her eyes. Momo is crying?
"I--I guess I shouldn't of come back, I'm just ruining everything......"Momo cried, before anyone could respond she dashed out the room.
"DAM it! We upset Hina"Ikkau said.
"That wasn't my intention"Yumchika said.
"Mine either"Nanao said.
"I feel bad, it's thanks to her were in this academy as well"Isane said.
"Despite not being rich as well"Ikkau said.
Momo? She was crying I've never seen her cry before.
"Your her best friend from before right? before me that is "Rangiku said.
"Yeah..."Toushiro said.
"Go, she needs a friend. I would go right now but I need to sort out the mess here"Rangiku said.
"But I--"Toushiro said.
"Listen to me, I listened to your past. She told me everything but whatever differences you guys had then can't you just forget it for now and help her "Rangiku said.
"Right "Toushiro said, letting go of Karin's hand.
"Toushiro?"Karin said surprised.
"Got to go, I'll be back "Toushiro said, dashing past the students and ran down the halls to Momo's room.
Momo starts to cry causing her bed sheets to go wet. Why did that have to happen? Why we only just came, and then there's already arguing. There was a knock on my door.
"Momo"a familiar voice said.
"Who is it?" Momo said.
"It's me, can I come in?"Toushiro asked. Momo stands up and walks over to the door.
"Hitsug--aya?"Momo stammered.
"Momo, please let me in "Toushiro said.
"It's Hinamori"Momo said.
"What is?"Toushiro said.
"My name "Momo said.
"Ok then Hinamori, can you please open this door?"Toushiro said.
"No "Momo said.
"Why not?"Toushiro said.
"Ive done so many bad things to you Hitsugaya, so many and too Karin as well. So many bad things I took advantage of you..: used you"Momo rammbled on.
"Momo.."Toushiro said.
"Please Hitsugaya, just leave me be. You've alredy moved on with your life. You and Karin are happy, that's all I ever wanted from you"Momo said.
"Momo please I already forgave you"Toushiro said.
"No, let me be"Momo said.
"Momo, I'm opening this door"Toushiro said.
"I DARE YOU. If you do don't ever talk to me again"Momo shouted. She heard his foot steps, walk of then. She slumped down.. Gomen Shiro....
Her phone rings.
"Moshi Moshi?"Momo said.
"Hina!"the cheerful voice said.
"Hallibell?"Momo said, recognizing the voice.
"Yeah it's me"Hallibell said.
"So what's up?"Momo said, hiding the sadness in her voice.
"Well you'll never guess where Stark scored both peach and my band a place to perform"Hallibell said.
"Where?"Momo said, getting her bag and taking out a notebook and pen.
Classes went by that day and Rangiku began to get really worrried about her friend, she hadn't shown up at all. Hina, dam you. My eyes drift back at the black hair girl who had been arguing with us earlier on. I wonder who she is.. The White hair Hitsugaya kid is in this class too. Humph.
"Class, get into pairs"Miss Soifon said. Everyone got in to pairs but Rangiku. You would think everyone would come to her but she told them to go away.
"Miss I don't have a partner"Rangiku said.
"Ah yes, you can choose who you would go with"Soifon sad.
Rangiku happily went over to Hitsugaya and Karin. Perhaps I can get answers out of theese two. Once everyone settled and got working Toushiro glares at me.
"Why did you choose us?"Toushiro said.
"Oh don't worry I'm not using you for anything. Seretei high pays for all my tutoring and stuff so don't think I'm using you"Rangiku said.
"Yeah, ok I get that. But explain again what seretei high is?"Toushiro said.
"Eh? Toushiro you didn't know"Karin said.
"Know what?"Toushiro said.
"Seretei high a music school for where kids are so laid back, and all there lessons turn into a music lesson. There's supose to be like guitars on the Walls of the building"Karin said.
"Actually it's Piano's, guitars, drums and a microphon since Hina and i changed the sign. But whatever, were both fujitachios so yeah"Rangiku said.
"What? Fujitachio you and Momo"Toushiro said. She nodded.
"Seretei high has 13 groups and 7 successfull number one bands. The 13 groups are like different lessons of music and they each have a tachio"Rangiku explained.
"So who's Momo's tachio?"Toushiro said. She was silent for a moment.
"Did something happen?"Toushiro said. She nodded.
"Yeah, Hina's tachio betrayed us"Rangiku said.
"Betray how?"Karin said, getting interested.
Rangiku bit her lip, wondering if she should say any more.
)Just say it
Haineko? Stop popping up like that
)Ok just go.
"He well..... Shot her"Rangiku whispered the line but Toushiro heard. His eyes widened.
"W--hat?"Toushiro said.
"Shot right in the chest, she didn't recover for weeks... 2 others went with him as well. One of them wa my boyfriend Gin"Rangiku said. He stayed silent.
"What happened next?"Karin asked.
"He disappeared for awhile like 5 months then we found him. He started a rivaling high school. Called Los Nochas.. They too have bands like us"Rangiku said.
"Los Nochas? That's the name on the back of one of Tatsukis CDs"Karin said.
Rangiku sighs. "There music is popular here too? Dam those..."
"Oh, yeah the project is finshed"Rangiku said. Both of them look over to see Rangiku did the whole project.
She actually did some work?
No that's a surprise.
After the last class they all walked down to hanging out lounge. Where people gathered after school. Karin and Rangiku became close, even Toushiro started to talk to her. Once they got there they saw a familar brown hair girl talking on the phone.
"Hina?"Rangiku said.
"Momo"Toushiro said.
"--Ok thanks, no... What? You better make sure he's not there. Look I don't care what your saying, I don't want to see him there. Come on... Ulqui please!"Momo begged.
"Who do you think she's talking too?"Karin asked me, Tousgiro shrugged.
They noticed the papers scattered on the chairs.
"--Hes a part of the other band I know, but your both from Los nochas...Ah ok then. See you.."Momo said.
"HINA!"Rangiku said, hugging her.
"Ouch Ran let go"Momo said. Once Rangiku let go.
"So where were you?"Rangiku said.
"Hallibel called me and said were performing at the Yuiko stadium on Saturday"Momo said. Her big blue eyes widened.
"ALRIGHT! The Yukio, I knew Tia could be usefull"Rangiku said.
"Its good news. But he's going to be there too"Momo said.
The sparkle in her eyes faded.
"You mean Grimmjow?"Rangiku said. Momo nodded her head and only just noticed Toushiro and Karin.
"Shi--Hitsugaya and Kurosaki, gomen Kurosaki-hime sama I didn't attend my classes today for I had important buisness. You can punish me later if you want, I just have stuff to do with my band first"Momo said.
"Actually Momo your hime-sama again"a familiar voice said. They turn around and see Shuuei.
"Shuuei? What do you mean"Toushiro said.
"Karin was the substitute and not only that. It seems like what happened this morning caused everyone to change there minds. They decided to give you a second chance, welcome back Momo-hime sama"Shuuei said bowing and placing a silver necklace on her neck.
"Oh my that's so pretty "Rangiku said.
"Well I guess I can't punish...--eh? A text..."Momo fiddled with her phone.
Ikkau got us in detention, start the meeting without us."It's from Isane she can't make it to our practice "Momo said.
Isane
"Awe that's too bad, hey I know you 3 should join us"Rangiku said.
"B--ut..."Karin stammered.
"Thats a good idea "Shuuei answered for her.
We all left the school building and was led outside in to the gardens.
"Ok here we are"Momo announced.
Karin looked up and saw like a large conservatory there were curtains so you couldn't see the inside. As Momo got the key out, she couldn't help but be curious.
I've been the princess for this academy for years now and I didn't know about this place. They went inside and Karin couldn't help but gasp. There were instruments everywhere and music sheets.
Toushiro was shocked just as much as his girlfriend.
"When did you guys have time to set this up. You just came"Toushiro said.
"Actually I asked help from Kira-kun and he helped me get the stuff here, and decorate"Momo said.
"Kira-kun? Eh who's that Hina"Rangiku said.
"Just a friend"Momo said.
"Kira helped you? Are you sure there wasn't much more to this then friendly help"Shuuei said.
"W--hat do you mean by that?"Momo said.
Shuuei sighs, "The Baka still loves you Momo".
Momos response wasn't what Toushiro expected. "I see, I gues I should of cleared it out to him this morning that I don't love him".
"But I couldn't do it, he seemed happy"Momo said.
"--and you can't bare to break someone's heart like that"Rangiku finshed. She nodded and sighs.
"Geez Hina seriously... Your far too nice "Rangiku said, slumping down on the black velvet sofa.
After awhile Rangiku and Shuuei decided to have a drinking contest, and as for Karin in the end she decided to join them. Leaving Toushiro on his own, he sighs and decides to see what Momo was doing. She wasn't drinking, instead she was looking over some pieces of paper. He leaves the room to see what she was doing.
He found her looking at important documents, and music sheets.
"You write these all yourself?"Toushiro whispers in her ear, causing her to jump.
"H--itsugaya!..."Momo stammered.
"So did you?"Toushiro said.
"N--no these are nothing "Momo said gathering all the sheets of paper , all of them slipped from her hands. Toushiro kneals down and helps her . His eyes drifted back to one of the papers "Daisuke, your my flower, your my hero".. Duet.. Hinamori Momo and JagerJaques Grimmjow.
Who? Momo sees me looking at the paper and she snatches it from me and stands up. So do I.
"Momo who's Grimmjow?"Toushiro asked.
She was silent for a moment.
"What? Who is he "Toushiro asked.
She bit her lip and played with a strand of her hair.
"My boyfriend "Momo said, in a hush whisper. But Toushiro heard, he froze then.
"You have a boyfriend?"Toushiro said. She nodded and before I could ask questions she had left the room. He sighs as he saw another paper on the floor.
"Momo, you forgot this?..."Toushiro paused, as he took a look at the picture. It was a photo of Momo wearing a black uniform, a tall guy with bright blue hair had his arms wrapped around her. He noticed Momo was smilling. Momo...
Why don't you tell me anything?
Hours went by and sooner or later they went back to the academy. Toushiro was bringing Karin back to her room. He sighs, when he sees a red scrunchie on the door knob. Geez how did Shuuei get there so fast?
They walk down the hallways till they got to his room. He opens the door and dumps Karin in Shuuei's bed.
"Hmm Tosh, why am I here?"Karin said.
"Shuuei and Tatsuki are at it again, so I brought you here"Toushiro said.
She nodded. "Hey Tosh..."Karin said.
"What is it?"Toushiro said.
"You love me right?"Karin said, he gives her a strange look and kisses her forehead.
"Course I love you"Toushiro said.
"Kay, that's all I needed to know"Karin said, before he could say anything else she had drifted of to sleep. Toushiro sighs and tries to sleep.
He wakes up at some point, he rubs his eyes and looks at the time. 4:00? Geez it's still early. Classes don't start till 10. What am I going to do till then? Sleep. Nope I could barely sleep before. He gets changed into a t shirt and some jeans, and decides to take a walk outside.
It was still dark out, the moon was shining brightly on the grounds of the school. Toushiro couldn't help but wondering about that Grimmjow person. Could Momo really have a boyfriend? It shows in that photo, but how come he didn't come with her.
"Agghh geez I'm so confused!"Toushiro said.
"La la la"a voice sang. That voice? Is that... He ran through the forest of trees and finds Momo standing there underneath a sakura tree.
"La la"she sang. Her voice is so soothing.
"You called me your peach,"Momo said, a tear in her eye as she said the last line. Momo you.
I called you my blueberry
You held my hand
Forever
We. Promised to stay beside each other
Never letting go
My blue berry your mine forever
My peach..... Always be with me.
What if one day you let go?
Of my hand
I loose your scent of fresh blue berries
and cry.
But no that will never happen
Crawling back to you my peach
I promise I won't ever leave you
And I mean that
My angel, your my peach
Stay with me till the end of time
I promise
Blue berries and Peaches are just like this too.
There complete opposites
Yet I love you my peach
I love---you my blueberry
Momo here's a noise and finds Toushiro there.
"Hitsugaya... you"Momo said. He chucks his jacket at me.
"Your going to catch a cold you know that bed wetter"Toushiro said.
Momo looks over at him, he still cares about me even after what I did. She gives him a grateful look and puts the jacket on.
We both sat down underneath the tree.
"You know, I never knew you could sing"Toushiro said.
"Im full of suprises I guess"Momo said.
"You never told me"Toushiro said.
"I said goodbye to you Toushiro. I couldn't keep contact after what I did"Momo said, he didn't say anything.
"Its strange"Toushiro said.
"What is?"Momo said.
"You, you've changed so much. I could barely recgonize you as the girl I knew and loved"Toushiro said.
"I haven't changed. Really, this was just my hidden personality as Ran decided to call it. When I first got to seretei high, I acted like a slut and flirted and played with many boys hearts. But Rangiku even if she saw me like that, she never gave up on me. Same with Ikkau, Yumi, Nana and Isane. Even when I was like that, they still helped me and in the end i let my personality out. That was because of him. My blueberry"Momo said.
"You mean Grimmjow?"Toushiro said.
"Yeah, you'll meet him soon" Momo said and with that she was gone.
Where did she go?
A smile appears on my face. Arigatou for listening to me Shiro-chan.
