Hitsugaya was finally able to get out the hospital a few days of recovery. He recovered from multipal injuries. But they didn't stop him. He did get some scars out of it but will never forget the reason why he ran out with Orihime.
But ever since that incident, Orihime has been spending more time with Toshiro. She felt that she owed him her life. He saved her and she is currently in debt to him.
Toshiro stared at the school entrance. He didn't want to be there. He didn't want to be in school. Momo is in all of his classes. He sighed. But he has to attend school. He wants to get an education.
Students, highschool and middleschool, were at their lockers, preparing for homeroom and their first 3 periods.
"Taicho!" Matsumoto cried. Hitsugaya looked up. Matsumoto ran to him, followed by Gin, Izuru, Renji, Rukia, Ichigo, Rukia, and Uryu. They all started asking questions.
"How have you been?"
"Have you fully recovered yet?"
"What happened?"
Toshiro was shocked and he tried to listen to each question, trying to answer them...but there were so many. He sighed in defeat.
"Alright, alright! Knock it off!" He said. Momo watched them from afar, her books in her hands. She walked over to them. They all turned and looked at her. She was only focusing on Toshiro, who was looking back. His eyes were full of love and care. But once she lifted her hand to touch his cheek, his eyes turned cold and they filled with anger. He furrowed his eyebrows and dodged her hand.
"Don't bother, Momo." He said, pushing past her and walking to first period. History. Momo watched him leave.
"Gomenesai, Momo." Uryu said. Momo looks at him as everyone else walks away.
"I think he just needs some time." He said, before catching up to Orihime, who was waiting for him and Ichigo.
"But, it's been days. I can't wait forever." Momo murmured.
"Tired of waiting, Hinamori-chan?" Someone said from behind her. She turned and glared at the intruder.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"Hinamori, you and I both know Toshiro will not forgive you for weeks." He said.
"What's your point?" She said, stubbornly folding her arms across her chest.
"Like you just said, you can not wait forever." He said. He always has something to prove, doesn't he? Momo sighed, giving in a little.
"What do you want?" She said.
"Well, why don't you try to make him come to you?" He said. Momo raised an eyebrow.
"And how do you suppose I do that?" She said.
"Make him jealous." He said.
"How? And with who?" She said. She did ask good questions. But she never expected what his answer was.
"Well...you can make Toshiro jealous with me." He said. Her eyebrows raised but then furrowed.
"That's obserd." She said. "I'm not in love with you."
"You don't have to be. You can just pretend to be." He said. Momo sighed, looking in the direction where Toshiro left.
"What's your plan, Abarai Renji?" She said, snapping her gaze to him. Renji half-smiled.
"Toshiro, you and I both know that you regret yelling at her." Izuru said as they walked into the cafeteria for lunch. Toshiro sighed and put his bookbag down on a table.
"I know. But I can't face her just yet." Toshiro said. Izuru put his bookbag next to Toshiro's.
"Well, don't make her wait long. She could get over you." He said. Toshiro looked behind Izuru and saw a sight that broke his heart immediatly. He saw a sight that he never thought he'd see.
"I...I think she's already over me." Toshiro said. Izuru followed his gaze to find Momo flirting with Renji. She was smiling. And laughing. She wore the realest smile and she laughed the realest laugh Toshiro ever saw and ever heard. He was shocked and devistated. He stood there, watching them with eyes wide open. His fists clenched and his heart cried. What is she doing? Is this some way to get back at him? Is this love, or is this revenge that Toshiro sees?
"O-Oh my god." Izuru said, shocked as Toshiro was. Gin walks in to find a frozen Toshiro and a shocked Izuru.
"Izuru, Toshiro? What's wrong?" Gin said.
"Look." Izuru said. Gin followed their gaze.
IN TOSHIRO'S POV
Everything dropped. My heart. My dreams. My everything. Momo was my everything. Now, she's off with Renji, flirting like I never existed to her.
I still stood there, frozen like ice. Unable to move and unable to speak. Momo threw her arms around Renji's neck and hugged him, laughing from his joke.
'This isn't happening to me Tis isn't happening to me She didn't say a word Just walked away'
Tears started to pool into my eyes as I watched my nightmare unravel infront of me.
'...This was a my first love She was the first to go And when she left me for you I was the last to now'
Time slowed as Momo opened her eyes and looked straight at me. We stared at each other, dead on. Her eyes widen when she saw my tears rolling down my cheeks. She let go of Renji but didn't look at him or anyone else. She looked at me and only me. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was the first time she saw me cry. I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't look at her. I turned away and ran out again.
"Toshiro!" Momo yelled. I didn't care where I was going. I ran up stairs. I ran down stairs. I went through doors until I hit a dead end. I breathed and looked from left to right, looking for a nother way out as I heard footsteps around the corner. I saw a door. I opened it and went in. I turned, looking for a place to hide. But the room was bare and naked. Nothing was in there. I went over to the window, tring to calm down. I opened it and let some fresh air in. I sighed and closed my eyes. Why was I the last to know? Why was I the most hurt?
"Toshiro." Momo said, behind me. I froze, eyes wide. She found me. I gripped my fists.
"I need to talk to you." She said. I turned my head to the side, my gaze at her. She came in and shut the door behind her, locking it in the process. She has a miserable look in her eyes. She was as hurt as I am.
"About what happened back there..." She said. I looked out of the window again.
"Don't explain. I am convinced that you love Renji more than me." I said, my heart shattering. I knew that it was true. She obviously showed it.
"I do not love him, Shiro-chan. I love you." She said. I furrowed my eyebrows in disbelief.
"I do not believe you." I said. Momo forcefully grabbed and turned me around to face her.
"I am here, aren't I?" She said. I stared at her, shocked.
"I wouldn't be here, saying that I love you, if I didn't mean it. I wouldn't be standing here telling you this!" She said.
Then she got silent and we stared at eachother.
"If you really do love me...then...prove it." I said. Her grip on my arms loosened and she leaned in. I pulled my head back until it was against the window, not wanting a kiss. But she kept leaning in until our lips made contact. I didn't really expect a kiss, though. She gently pulled her head away after a few seconds.
"Shiro-chan...I love you. I always have." She said.
"Then what was the deal with Renji?" I said.
"He offered me something. That me and him faked dating. I refused. The person who was back there, flirting with Renji, was Rukia in my form. I was Rukia in her form and she was me in my form. Rukia played as me." She said. Now that I think about it, Rukia does laugh at his jokes. No other girl does.
"Do you believe me or not?" She asked.
"I do believe you but why didn't you talk to me?" I said. She looked away.
"Because I was scared. I...I thought you hated me." She said. I sighed and cupped her face in my hands.
"Momo, I will never hate you." I said. She nods, holding back the tears. I leaned in pressed my lips to hers. She grabbed my shirt in her fists and pressed up against me, making me press against the window. I could feel her hair in between my fingers.
"I love you, bedwetter."
"I love you too, Shiro-chan."
THE END
Author's note: oh my, oh my, oh my. Does it seem over and done with? That everyone lives happily ever after? Ha. No, really. There's more. More action and drama and love and such. Everything gets put back in order. Does Momo still have feeling for her taicho, Aizen? Who will pay the price on finding out the truth?
