Marrying The Wrong Girl

Chapter 3

Info you need to know: "Talking" Flashback
Translations: Hai = Yes.

Recap: "I would like to thank everyone that took their time to come here. I would like to thank the King and queen for giving me permission to let me use the castle for this… From one week today Toushiro and I will be getting married and you're all invited to stay at the castle till then." Karin spoke, the whole time looking at the chocolate eyed girl, Karin's eyes then wandered off to her fiancée's, his gorgeous teal eyes opened wide and shocked then back to the mysterious girl. This is payback bitch.

Momo sighed, she was back in her palace but only for a few more minutes. Whenever she finished packing she would be out of the palace again and out of her entire kingdom and back in the Hitsugaya palace. She had been offered to stay at the Hitsugaya's palace until the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Seireitei. She wasn't the only one; whoever attend the ball yesterday had been invited. Which was lots of people. From what she heard from Matsumoto most of them were her close friends only a few being friends of Prince Hitsugaya. Matsumoto had told her that the white haired boy didn't really talk much to many people so over half of the guests would be something to do with Karin. Great. Note the sarcasm.

There was something about Karin that put Momo on edge. Maybe it was the way Karin seemed to glare at her when Momo had briefly talked to the Prince or maybe it was the fact that Karin shouted at her maids. Whatever it was Momo had a feeling that Karin wasn't going to be the best hostess.

As Momo went into her large wooden hand-made drawer riffling through it to pick out her most comfortable undergarments her hand grazed over something solid and non-material like. She frowned and lifted her hand up to see what was under it, but then semi-regretted it. It was a picture of her father and mother (King and Queen of Ryukyu) and her smiling. Momo forced herself not to cry. So she quickly but it in her suitcase too look at later if she ever needed to forget things and remember happy times.

Her father King Hinamori was currently not well. He was recovering from a heart attack that he had last week and wasn't recovering very swiftly. Still the doctor was doing all he could for her father and Momo appreciated it. She just wished that her father would get better soon. She was very much a daddy's little princess. The thought of her father leaving her was one she couldn't bear to think about more than half a second. She could still remember the actual feeling she had when the incident occurred, it was always fresh in her memory:

It was a normal day for Momo Hinamori. She awoke like she usually did, with the sunbeams hitting her face and staying there making it hard for her to ignore them. So after a few minutes of that she woke up and got up, pulling on a Yukata. She went downstairs to have breakfast with her mother and father.

When she entered the large dining room, her father sat at the head of the table. The seat to the right where her mother usually sat was empty. Momo frowned as she walked over to her seat (on the left of the King opposite the Queen) wondering where her mother was but figuring she probably had some business to attend to. As Momo sat down her father smiled at her and she smiled back. A servant came in and served Momo's breakfast and she thanked him and he bowed and left them alone.

The breakfast was as normal as every morning breakfast was. They made trivial conversation and also talked about the Kingdom. That day the King had some problems with ruffians in a village in the Kingdom. That morning he was feeling stressful, Momo knew it. He was trying to hide it but he couldn't hide it in his eyes. Momo had reached out to place a hand on her father's comfortingly but she froze when he suddenly clutched at his heart, his eyes scrunched closed together. His face contorted in a look of such pain.

He then fell off his chair and onto the floor. He was now lying on the cold concrete floor eyes no longer scrunched closed together, just closed. Both arms sprawled out around him. He lay there, looking as if he was dead. His body looked pale and lifeless. Momo had tears in her eyes and was frozen. She hadn't looked to the spot where her father was sprawled looking like a corpse. But she shakily turned and looked down at the ground. Then she screamed.

A knock at the door snapped Momo out of her reverie of her father's recent incident. A maid came and told her they were leaving in five minutes. Momo thanked the maid (something she had never seen Karin do without a nasty tone added onto it) and then picked up some undergarments and put them into the suitcase on top of the photo. She mentally went through a list of things she would need for the week, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Once she was satisfied that her suitcase had everything she needed she zipped it up and headed out of her room and downstairs.

Once she was downstairs a male servant bowed to her and she smiled and nodded, allowing him to take her suitcase. He bowed once more before he stepped outside ahead of her to put her suitcase in the carriage. Her mother then came downstairs and ushered out of the palace into the horse carriage. Off to the Hitsugaya's. As Momo watched the palace slowly disappear from her sight she thought to herself: This is going to be a long interesting week.

Momo Hinamori was a Princess. Of the kingdom Ryukyu. So she was used to living in a palace and a fairly big one at that. But her palace back home wasn't close in size and sophistication compared to the Hitsugaya's. The rooms and hallways were twice as big. The staircases twice as long. The pillars holding it up twice as high. It was like a mansion cross a castle cross a palace. For lack of better word it was simply huge.

She stared up at the beautiful large monstrosity and tired very hard not to let her jaw fly downwards to the ground. The palace itself was beautiful, not to mention the glorious gardens surrounding it. There were quite a few people strolling in the garden. The women had parasols over their heads, protecting them from the glaring sun. Momo hadn't brought one and was starting to feel left out. But then a large shade fell over her head. She turned to her right to reveal a smiling handsome man holding a parasol over her head. She smiled back and thanked him and took the umbrella like object from him. He bowed and helped her mother out of the carriage. Another servant jumped off the back and was holding their suitcases. The man who handed her the umbrella bowed his head and yanked on the reins, the horses neighed and then rushed away, out of Momo's sight.

Momo turned around to face the palace one again. She vaguely took in that her mother and three servants (one carrying her suitcase, one carrying Momo's suitcase and one holding a parasol over Momo's mother's head) where walking away from Momo and towards the palace. She blinked and shook her head and followed after her mother.

Some man in a butler's outfit came out and greeted them. He informed them that the Princess and Princes and other guests had to meet in the hall and pointed Momo in the direction. Momo inquired as to where her mother was supposed to go and he said that Kings and Queens are to be led to the drawing room by him and his colleagues. So he took her mother away along with the servants and Momo headed towards the palace.

The door's opened for Momo and she saw two guards standing by the now open door. She went to the right, looking for the hall. She froze for a moment, trying to remember what the butler had said about the direction of the hall. She couldn't remember anything. She sighed and looked around for some maids or servants or anyone who lived or knew about this palace. But no-one was around. So she continued walking around aimlessly.

After a little while of walking around confusedly (it really was a big palace) whilst she wasn't really paying much attention to where she was walking Momo bumped into someone. Literally. She almost embarrassed herself even more by falling flat on her face but she managed to pick herself back up. She looked up her face lightly flushed due to the embarrassing thing she just did. She turned to the person she bumped into to find that there were two other people.

She had bumped into a pretty petite girl. She had shoulder length raven hair, with one strand hanging between her violet-coloured eyes. Next to her stood two taller handsome young men. The one on the left had tattoo's on his forehead and brilliant spiky red hair and brown eyes. The young man on the right of the petite girl was the same height and he too had brown eyes. His hair was a vivid colour of orange.

When she first bumped into her the girl was frowning but now she smiled at her. Momo smiled back nervously, glad she hadn't shouted at her. Momo had slightly been worrying that the people who had been invited who were close to Karin would be like her. Mean and snobby. But this girl didn't seem to be like that at all. Which made Momo wonder if Rukia knew the Prince rather than Karin.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Momo quickly apologised after she realised she was staring at them. The girl smiled and shook her head.

"It's alright, I wasn't looking where I was going either." The girl replied then held out her hand for a handshake, Momo took it and the two smiled at each other. Whilst they were shaking hands the raven haired girl said, "I'm Rukia Kuchiki, nice to meet you." she said, sincerely. Rukia let go of Momo's hand but they were still smiling at each other.

"I'm Momo Hinamori, nice to meet you too. Though I'm sorry we met due to my unawareness of my surroundings." Momo giggled slightly and shrugged.

"Hey, I've heard your name before. Do you know Matsumoto-san?" the guy with the red hair asked. Rukia gave him a stern disapproving look and he squirmed. Squirmed!

"Renji! Introduce yourself first before you ask personal questions!" Rukia snapped. Renji muttered his apology and stuck his hand out to Momo who took it willingly.

"Renji Abarai, nice to meet you. I'm one of squirts best friends." He said and looked slightly scared when he received a glare from Rukia when he called her squirt. Momo giggled.

"Nice to meet you too." Momo replied sincerely. Rukia then looked expectantly at the orange head and he sighed but stuck his hand out to Momo. They shook hands.

"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, nice to meet you. I'm Rukia's other best friend." He said and slowly he smiled at her. Momo smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you, Kurosaki-san." Momo said and then Rukia nodded satisfied. Renji didn't hesitate to ask the question again.

"So Hinamori-san, have you heard of or met Matsumoto-san?" Momo smiled and nodded.

"Hai, I know Rangiku-san, she's my best friend." They looked at her shocked and as if they were biting back a gasp. Momo frowned at that wondering what they were so surprised about.

"Matsumoto-san's your best friend? That means you're the Princess of Ryukyu?" Rukia asked, sounding as surprised as she looked. Momo nodded, still frowning. Bewildered as to why that was a big idea.

"Matsumoto-san hasn't stopped talking about you since we've got here! We're Matsumoto-san's friends and Toshiro-kun's friends too. Matsumoto is Toshiro-kun's best friend, the only person outside his family and Karin who he's close too. He isn't as close to us as he is to Matsumoto." Ichigo explained. Momo understood a little bit better, clearly Matsumoto was an important person here and that it was rare for Matsumoto to talk about people or to have best friends other than Toshiro. Momo wasn't quite sure what to say to that but before she could muster up something which would probably sound silly Renji spoke.

"So, why do you look so lost when you bumped into Rukia?" he inquired, Momo smiled sheepishly.

"Well I'm supposed to be gathering in the hall with the rest of the Princess's and Prince's but I don't know where it is." Rukia smiled and started to walk ahead of Momo. Renji then indicated her to follow so she quickly hurried after her.

"Matsumoto-san lives in the palace with the Hitsugaya's she's invited us here loads of times so we know our way around. We were actually heading there ourselves so just stick with us." Rukia said cheerfully. Momo nodded and carried on following them.

"So are you all royals or just one of you?" Momo asked after a while of silence. Rukia face turned slightly red and the two boys grinned mischievously.

"Rukia's a Princess, we're just her best friends. We're tag alongs." Ichigo said, still grinning. Renji chuckled and Rukia glared at them both.

"Yep, her brother is King of Kansai, so she's the Princess." Renji said, proudly. Momo smiled, she felt it must be nice to have friends that were proud of your status. Matsumoto was her best friend and pretty much only friend and she too had a good status so Matsumoto wasn't really proud of Momo's status, just familiar with it.

Momo had said something to Karin about her status but she couldn't really remember what it was. They had arrived in the hall where they were supposed to gather. Momo immediately felt stupid, it was the same hall that held the ball yesterday. Matsumoto spotted them and joined them hugging Momo tightly. They then began to chat for a while until a voice interrupted everyone's conversations calling their attention.

"Welcome back everyone." A sickly sweet voice said when the hall became silent. Momo looked up to the stage to find a smiling petite pretty girl. Karin. Behind her stood a bored and not very happy looking white-haired and gorgeous teal greened eyed man. Toshiro. Suddenly Toshiro's gaze fell on her and the corner of his mouth turned up slightly. Momo blushed at his intense and half smirking gaze but for some reason she couldn't look away. But she didn't have to Toshiro then looked away, his face returning to his bored and not happy look. Momo then tuned back into what the soon-to-be Queen was saying.

"Most of you returned home last night after the ball to gather your things. So welcome back. As you know I invited you here for the week up till our wedding. It'll be a pleasure having you all. I know most of you but sadly I don't know those of you who are my dear fiancées friends. That's going to change this week. One of the reasons I invited you here was so I could get to know Toshiro's friends and he could get to know mine. So in order for that to happen, I ask you all to attend lunch with us. If you already know the way then please go and take a seat if you don't then follow your friends or a maid they'll take you there. The seats have been arranged by our staff so find your name and sit at your seat please. I'll see you all there" she said still unusually sweetly and smiled. Momo sighed dreading having to have lunch with everyone. But she followed Matsumoto and her new friends to the dining room.

In the dining room Momo was glad to find she was placed next to Matsumoto. So to make it easier for you understand here's the seating arrangements: Toshiro and Karin at the head of table, Momo the other side of Toshiro (but not at the head) Matsumoto next to Momo. Karin opposite Momo and Ichigo next to Karin and Renji next to Matsumoto. Then the other people whom Momo had no idea who they were.

Once everyone was settled down in their seats Karin decided to let people talk before the meals. So the dining room burst into conversations. Momo started talking to Matsumoto, Rukia, Ichigo and Renji. Even Toshiro joined in. Momo was surprised but was glad that the distant man was talking to her.

"So Hinamori-san, you're Princess of Ryukyu aren't you?" Toshiro asked curiously and Momo smiled and nodded. None of them noticed the glare Karin threw at Momo. But she quickly recomposed herself and instead smiled.

"I heard that there was some trouble in your Kingdom, something to do with local villagers rebelling?" Karin asked, trying to hide her smirk. Momo saw it, but it seemed as no-one else did.

"Nothing my father couldn't handle. It's all under control that was last week as well." Momo replied calmly with a polite smile.

"That never happens here. Toshiro's father is such a good King and it won't ever happen when Toshiro's under control because he's going to be wonderful King, aren't you?" Karin said smiling proudly and boastfully and she nuzzled her head in his neck. Toshiro remained emotionless and replied with a bored tone.

"I hope to be a good King. My father though has had small rebellions like your father Hinamori-san" Toshiro shrugged. "It's nothing to be ashamed about." Momo smiled at him and his lips curved slightly into a small smile. But only just barely. Still it made Momo happy and Karin pout (though no-one but Momo noticed that).

Then the food came and Momo licked her lips hungrily. She then dug in to her food like the rest of them. She ate all of it and it tasted delicious. Not to mention she had seconds with some other people. She then felt disgusted at herself, she had just eaten calories and calories and loads of fat. She even had seconds! And she was still hungry! How disgusting could she be? She excused herself from the table and quickly walked out. But she went back ten minutes later after she was finished. She sat back down and saw that everyone (meaning, Rukia, Ichigo, Renji, Matsumoto and even Toshiro) was looking at her worriedly. She smiled at them reassuringly. Telling them she was fine and she was.

Lunch then passed in a blur conversation between them broke out again. Momo was glad she had new friends (Rukia, Ichigo and Renji) but she couldn't still help the feeling she had earlier. That this was going to be one long, interesting week.

Now that was Chapter three and day one of Momo living in the castle.
