PS thoughts are Italicized.
The next day Momo and Toushiro met by the gate ready to leave when suddenly.....Taicho WAIT!!!! guess who... it was a drunk Rangiku Matsumoto. " Oh kill me, just kill me now!!!!" Toushiro thought as he watched his lieutenant weave and wobble over to them in a drunk daze.
" Taicho!!" Matsumoto said as she yanked Toushiro over to the side and began to whisper in his ear " Good luck with Momo Taicho! Don't do anything too dirty now!!!" with that she walked over to Momo.
Toushiro turned tomato red as certain thoughts entered his mind.
" So Momo....." Matsumoto said as she began to whisper in Momo's ear " Are you ready for some ALONE time with Taicho!" "R-Rangiku-san!!!" Momo stuttered as she too went red.
" Now remember you two, I want to have some nieces and nephews who call me Auntie Rangiku!!!!" " MATSUMOTO WE AREN'T EVEN RELATED TO YOU!!!!" Momo and Toushiro shouted together.
" I know but...." Matsumoto was cut off by her angry captains voice.
" MATSUMOTO! YOU ARE TO GO TO THE TENTH DIVISION RIGHT NOW AND DO ALL THE PAPERWORK!!, INCLUDING THE TWO WEEKS HINAMORI AND I ARE GONE, AND IF IT'S NOT DONE WHEN I COMEBACK NO SAKI FOR TWO MONTHS! AND I WILL GO STRAIGHT TO YAMAMOTO!!!! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!!!"
" yes Taicho." Matsumoto said as she walked towards the tenth division. When she was out of sight Toushiro picked up Momo bridal style and walked through the gate to the living world.
" Shiro-chan where are we going?" Momo asked as Toushiro carried her into a private grove cut off from the rest of the town.
" Shiro-chan shouldn't we go to Ichigo's house to ask if we can stay there?"
" Why?" Toushiro asked as he stopped walking and looked at her with a " are you sure you WANT to stay there?" look. Momo caught this and quickly answered " A-Actually Shiro-chan honestly I was hopping we could stay in a hotel or something so we could spend more time together." Momo said as she began to go red, there was a small silence suddenly Toushiro spoke. " I was hopping you'd say that, besides Kurosaki snores like heck!!" Momo giggled and Toushiro kept heading into the grove.
When they reached the center Momo could only stare in awe at the sight before her, there in front of her was a medium-sized Japanese house with all the fixings like a small koi pond, strong fragile doors, a strong roof,even an upstairs from the outside look of it. " S-Shiro-chan w-what is this?!" Momo asked shocked.
" It's our house for when we or one of us comes to the living world." he answered.
"How did you get it Shiro-chan?"
" I bought it."
" But it must have cost SO much money!!!, you bought it for me?!" Momo asked absolutely shocked..
" Yeah." Toushiro said as he stepped towards the door.
" U-umm...Shiro-chan...y-your still carrying me bridal style." Momo stuttered as she began to turn red. As soon as Toushiro realized she was right he immediately put her down. " S-Sorry." he said as he turned red from embarrassment and Rangiku's words still in his mind. " It's okay."
" DRAT! I was enjoying that....." Momo thought. Turning back to reality they both walked inside. " Sugoi! Shiro-chan! It's wonderful!" Momo said after she was done looking around the house, it had everything: four bedrooms complete with dresser, bed, and closet, two bathrooms with huge bathtubs and sinks, a nice clean kitchen that was like cooking heaven, a big living room with a soft couch, a wood coffee table and what the humans call a flat screen TV.
" Shiro-chan it must have been SO much money!!" Momo said as she looked at him with worried eyes.
" Don't worry about it..." Toushiro as he held her hand and rubbed it gently. " All that matters is that you like it."
" Thank you Shiro-chan."
" Your welcome Momo, I hear there's a festival in town, would you like to go?" Toushiro asked.
" Shiro-chan you never go to festivals...why now?"
" I'll go for you and it's Hitsugaya-Taicho!"
" Okay Shiro-chan, let's go!!" Momo said completely ignoring what he just said, and with that they headed for the door. When they reached the festival Momo starred in awe it had so many things! Balloons, booths, games, fried food, and best of all: Rides!! Toushiro watched Momo carefully making sure no shifty-looking guys came within ten feet of her.
" Some people..." he thought quietly suddenly Momo grabbed his hand, he blushed at the contact but he knew what was coming...the very reason he hated going to festivals... they walked toward the entrance and showed the man their tickets then stepped forward. Momo passed through waiting for Toushiro. " Here it comes..." Toushiro as he put his back against the wall " Three, two, one..."
" I'm sorry sir but your too short to go on this ride."
" I knew it." Toushiro muttered under his breath as he began to walk away, " Go on it without me Momo I'll wait." he said. To anyone else it would have sounded normal but Momo knew he was disappointed he couldn't go on it with her.
Momo rushed over to Toushiro's side and grabbed his hand. " M-Momo! What are you doing? The ride's going to go in a minute! Hurry up!!" " No Shiro-chan!! I want to go on a ride with you, not without you! If you don't go, I don't go.
" Momo..."
" come on, let's find another ride Shiro-chan!!
" Arigato...Momo." with that they headed for another ride.
" Look Shiro-chan!!" Momo said after a couple minutes. " How about that one?" Momo asked curiously. Toushiro just stood there starring at the huge rollercoaster before him. " What's wrong Toushiro?" Momo asked as she watched him. Suddenly Toushiro began to grin evilly: he had an Idea. " Shiro-chan...are you okay?"
" Just fine Momo....just fine." he grabbed her hand and headed for the coaster, determination in his eyes. This time he was going on the ride if it was the last thing he did, as far as he was concerned Momo was not going to miss out on all her fun because of his...well....height. Stomping up to the measuring sign Toushiro put his back against it, smirking confidently all the while. " Go ahead sir your tall enough." the man said kindly. Toushiro waited for Momo keeping his usual, calm face on but on the inside he was throwing a party..... " HA!! take that stupid sign!! now I can go on any ride Momo wants!" Suddenly he was brought back to reality by Momo's voice. " Hurry Shiro-chan! The ride is going to start!"
" I'm coming!" Toushiro said as he hopped into the seat beside her, he looked over and saw Momo grasping her security bars so tight her hands were white. " Momo are you okay?" he asked curiously with a hint of worry in his tone. " I-I'm scared Shiro-chan." she admitted.
Suddenly she felt a warm, comforting hand on hers. " Don't worry I'll be right here whenever you need me Momo....always." he said as he looked at her with a reassuring look.
"Shiro-chan...."
Suddenly the announcer came on: HOLD ON TIGHT PEOPLE!!! THIS RIDE WILL START IN....
five....
Momo squeezed Toushiro's hand tight as the countdown continued.....
four....
Toushiro smiled as he rubbed her hand gently while at the same time holding it tight......
three...
Momo braced herself for the drop as they got closer to the edge and shut her eyes.....
two.....
" I'm right here, you'll be fine I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Toushiro whispered into her ear comfortingly as he braced himself as well.
One...
" I know."
BOOOOOM!!!! the ride was off.
Ahhhhhhh!!!! Momo screamed as she held on to Toushiro, but before she knew it the ride was over. " So...did you like the ride Bed-Wetter Momo?" Toushiro asked when they were off the ride. " yep! Especially going with you Shiro-chan!!" Momo replied happily. " let's do something else now!"
After four hours both shinigami were tired but they couldn't care less they were only thinking of the great time they were having. " Shiro-chan I'm tired, let's do one more thing then go home."
" Alright." Toushiro said as he walked beside her. Suddenly Momo stopped, he turned around and saw her starring at a brown music box on it was a turquoise dragon surrounded by red cherryblossoms. Momo loved it but as soon as she saw the price tag her eyes fell.
" I'll be right back Momo, wait on that bench alright?" Toushiro said as he pointed to the bench.
" Alright." Momo said as she sat down watching all the people scurry about. Suddenly she saw Toushiro come out of the store with none other than that music box. " Shiro-chan...." she said as he handed her the box carefully " I don't know what to say...."
" Then don't say anything, just open it." he said with a smile.
Momo opened the music box and it played the song : Secret of my Heart. " Arigato Shiro-chan." " your welcome Momo." and with that they headed for home.
