Chapter 6: Promises Made and Promises Broken.

Info you need to know: Voice Over. "Talking"

I never did understand why Matsumoto didn't like Momo that much. In my mind Momo was always a wonderful person. She was caring, she really was. She always put Nel before herself. She always put me before herself. She didn't want me to be upset. She didn't want me to ditch my friends for her. Even though she wanted me to stay, she wanted me to go if it meant I was happy. She was so so caring and nobody but a few noticed that. But I did. I loved her for it. I still do.

Date: 21st March 2012. 8.25am

Place: Karakura Senior School. Momo's form room.

Momo sighed as she sat down. She was bored. She was early for school something she never was. Only a few people had arrived at the moment. Toshiro was one of them. So she sat down at her seat at the back. Toshiro had swapped seats with someone so he sat at the back too. Next to her. Toshiro sat down and looked at her. Giving her a 'what's up?' look. She just rolled her eyes and shrugged. He rolled his eyes too and leaned back in his seat. Knowing that she was only bored. They were that close that just by giving each other certain looks they could know what the other was saying/thinking. The bell went then, signalling the start of registration and school. Their form tutor came in and so did the rest of the students. Their tutor told them to settle down and she took the register.

"Alright class, we have a new student coming into our form today. I want you all to be nice and welcoming to her." she said and moments later a new student did come in. She was the same height as Toshiro. She had dark black hair, which was pulled up into a pony tail and she had a red cap on. Which looked like it had seen better days. The tutor said something to the new girl when she had reached the front of the class. The girl nodded and turned to the class.

"I'm Karin Kurosaki" she bowed "Nice to meet you." Murmurs exploded. The guy's saying how hot she was and the girl's saying how ugly she was. The usual thing which happened when there was a new kid at Karakura School. Toshiro looked the girl up and down and waved once at her. The girl smiled and waved back. Momo frowned at that. Wondering if they knew each other or if Toshiro was being uncharacteristically friendly.

"You know her?" Momo whispered to Toshiro as she watched the girl head towards them. Toshiro nodded.

"She's an old friend of mine" Toshiro said absentmindedly. Karin had reached them and now she smiled and hugged Toshiro. She then sat in the empty seat to the right of Toshiro. Toshiro turned to her, his back now to Momo. Momo gritted her teeth. Not liking being ignored because a pretty girl came along.

"Toshiro, long time no see!" the girl exclaimed and turned in her chair so her whole body was facing Toshiro.

"Hey Karin, how've you been?" Toshiro asked, he too turned so that his whole body faced Karin. Completely ignoring Momo. Which got her mad and mad Momo wasn't a good thing. Far from it. It was as scary as hell.

"I've been fine thanks, Toshiro. How about you?" another thing that bugged her about this new appearance from Karin was the fact that Karin just called Toshiro, Toshiro. Matsumoto and Momo were his best friends yet they always called him Toshiro-kun. What give Karin the right not to add kun at the end?

"Fine, thanks. So, how come you're back in Karakura Town. I thought you were staying in England for another five years. Are you back visiting your family?" Momo sighed; she hated being ignored by Toshiro. If Toshiro ignored her it meant she was once again on her own. Momo got up and walked away, not wanting to be ignored. So she walked away to be alone on her own accord. Not by being ditched.

She didn't look back as she left the classroom. She didn't know if Toshiro had seen her walk away. But she doubted it. He was too wrapped up in Karin. Momo didn't understand why she was acting like this. She never cared before about her friends talking to old friends. Renji and Kira used to talk to their old friends and she never cared. But for some reason she hated Toshiro talking to Karin. She hated Karin. Something didn't seem right about Karin even though they hadn't properly met.

Momo sighed and headed up to the roof top. She did her usual thing of dumping her bag and then sitting in the middle of the roof top. She felt depressed. Something she hadn't been for three weeks, thanks to Toshiro. She riffled through her bag until she found her cigarette and lighter. She then proceeded to light the cigarette and start smoking. A few minutes later she heard the door open. She didn't bother to look who it was. She knew. She didn't know how but she knew it was him. He sat down next to her and she fully knew it was her best friend. Toshiro. He smelled of mint usually, his breathe and his clothes. She could smell mint so there was now no doubt that it was Toshiro.

"I thought you were done with the smoking rubbish." Toshiro said, he took the cigarette out of her hand and stepped on it to make it go out. He didn't hesitate to do that. He knew she would let him. But only him. If anyone else did that, they would end up with a black eye and a broken wrist.

"You clearly thought wrong." Momo muttered and looked anywhere but at him. Toshiro sighed. He had known the minute Momo had gotten up and left without a word to him she was angry. He was just hoping it wasn't at him. Clearly he got his hopes up. They sat in silence for a few minutes. Momo not wanting to speak to him because she was angry. Toshiro wanting to let her cool off for a bit.

"Hinamori?" he asked quietly after a while. He wasn't sure she would reply. But the girl nodded and flicked a glance at him but otherwise kept on staring at the beautiful view of the glorious sunny day. "Do you think you could ever go back? Back to the person you were before your father died?" she froze. No-one who knew about her dad's death ever mentioned it again after she told them. But Toshiro did and was. He was speaking quietly and softly but still he didn't hesitate to mention her father. Momo did what she always did when she talked about her father to others. She went emotionless. She crawled back in her little shell (not literally, that's just a saying).

"No." she replied truthfully. Her voice didn't give any hint or indication she had emotions. It was a monotonous voice. Completely emotionless.

"I think you could." He said his voice still quiet. She looked at him in surprise. He looked back at her, his eyes deadly serious and saying 'trust me'. She did trust him. She trusted him with her life. But she wasn't sure she trusted herself. "If you took baby steps."

"Baby steps?" she asked, wondering what he meant by that. Toshiro nodded.

"If you cut you're smoking down every day until you stop smoking completely. If you stop taking drugs full stop. If you cut you're drinking down everytime you have a drink, then stop completely and only drink on special occasions. Like your birthday. If you make it so that you can only swear five times a day. Then four, then three, then two, then one. Then just stop swearing. Stop ditching classes as well." Momo sighed and looked away from him. Back to the view.

"I don't think that just changing those things will make me go back, Toshiro-kun" Momo said, trying to keep the sad out of her voice. But he could hear it. He could hear and see every little thing about Momo which she tried to hide. He knew her a lot. Maybe even more than he knew himself. They had grown so close so fast. Toshiro wanted to know the other Momo. The Momo he wasn't there for. The Momo he could save.

"Alright, I've got a deal for you" he said and she looked at him once again, one eyebrow raised. "If you make it so you don't smoke at all, don't drink at all, don't do drugs at all, don't skip classes at all and only swear twice a day, then I'll do something for you. I'll get drunk once, smoke a whole cigarette once, skip a whole day and I'll swear on that day." Momo's eyes were wide; surprised he was saying such things. Toshiro was a good guy. He wouldn't willingly agree to do any of those things. Yet here was, agreeing to do them. For her.

"Alright, Monday 9th April 2012. You Toshiro Hitsugaya must promise that we'll skip classes for the whole day. Whilst doing so you will smoke a cigarette and swear whenever you see fit too. Also sometime during the day we'll go into town and buy some alcohol. You will then get drunk. If you do all those things on Monday, I promise: I'll stop smoking, stop doing drugs, stop drinking – with the exception of on special occasions – stop skipping class and only swear twice a day. Do you promise that you'll stick to your side of the deal?" she asked and stuck her hand out for a handshake. He gave her one of his rare smiles. He didn't usually smile at people. Even Matsumoto had only seen him smile once or twice. But Momo on the other hand. She had seen him smile at her, many, many times. The smile wasn't rare to her. But it always managed to make her feel slightly happier than she was before.

Toshiro shook her hand. A promise made. Momo was going to have to work hard to keep her side of the deal. But nonetheless she was determined to do so. After all a promise is a promise. True friends kept their promises with each other. She knew Toshiro would keep his promise even if some of the things he promised made him feel uncomfortable. He was doing those things for her. So she would stop doing her bad things. For him.

Place: Just Entering Maths Classroom. 11.30ish.

Momo took a step into her Maths class and froze, then glared. A certain black haired, red cap wearing girl was sitting in the seat next to Toshiro. Sitting in Momo's seat. Toshiro looked at her and saw that she was glaring at Karin. Momo felt Toshiro's gaze and looked at him. He sighed but didn't say/mouth anything to her. No sorry. Nada. Momo's hands clenched into a fist and she felt like punching the girl but she didn't. Well, she was going to. But got stopped. Her maths teacher called her over to him. She sighed but went. She listened to what he said and she froze. After he was done, she ran out. Trying not to cry.

Toshiro frowned as he saw his best friend running out. She looked extremely upset. Something Momo kept hidden from everyone who wasn't him. Toshiro got up said he was going to find Momo to Karin and told the Maths teacher the same thing. His maths teacher knew how close Momo and Toshiro were so he let Toshiro go. Hoping he could cheer the girl up and bring her back. He felt sorry for Momo. Her life had another sad thing happening in it.

Karin followed Toshiro, muttering an excuse to the maths teacher which she didn't really know what she was saying. Toshiro asked Karin to check the girls' toilets for Momo. Karin went in and a few seconds later came back out, her head shaking. Toshiro then continued running down the halls to the place he knew Momo would most likely be. The roof top. Sure enough when Toshiro opened the door he saw the back of the petite Momo. Her shoulders were shaking up and down and she was sniffing. Toshiro began to worry about Momo. She was crying. He took a step forward to her and then felt something on his arm. He turned around to find Karin was holding him back. She shook her head.

"I think she wants to be alone right now, Toshiro" Karin said, quietly. She thought Momo didn't hear. But Momo did. Which made another tear escape. She had a feeling Toshiro would listen to her. Toshiro would leave her. For Karin. Momo couldn't take that. So she curled up in a ball. Toshiro looked at Momo and his heart broke for her.

"Karin, with all due respect you don't know anything about Momo. I do. And I know being alone is the last thing she wants." Toshiro said and gently yanked his arm away from her hand. Karin was surprised at this. He almost always agreed with her. Karin couldn't help but give Momo a glare. She had taken Toshiro away from her. Karin sighed; she had a feeling she was going to have to fight to get Toshiro back.

Toshiro walked away from Karin and towards Momo. He gently made Momo come out of her curled up ball position. She looked at him, surprised he had stayed. She was a mess, her hair was sticking out and stuck to her face, her nose was red and her eyes were puffy and red. She didn't wear make-up so there wasn't any smudged eyeliner or anything like that. Tears continued to run down her face and she knew she looked hideous. But she was too sad to care. Toshiro however didn't think she looked hideous. She still looked beautiful to him. She always did. He wiped a tear away with his thumb and pulled her into a tight embrace. Lightly, he kissed her hair as she sobbed her heart out into his chest. He stroked her hair and back, soothingly. Sure enough moments later Momo's sobs calmed down and she slowly felt a little better. Mainly because she was in Toshiro's arms. Momo pulled away from him and they stood apart. But still close together.

"What's wrong?" he murmured concerned as he wiped one last tear away. Momo closed her eyes at his touch. Relishing the feeling and tingling it left.

"Nothing" Momo murmured back automatically. Whenever she was upset and tried not to show it she would always say that nothing was wrong to Toshiro. He knew she was lying all the time but he usually let it go. But not this time. This time she was too upset to ignore.

"Don't lie. You ditched class, your broke one of our promises. I know you wouldn't do that unless you had a reason. Plus you just cried on me." He said, gently. "So, tell me what's wrong. So I can make sure I don't have to see you like that again" he said the last bit in a whisper and rested his forehead on hers. The whisper sent shivers down her spine. She sighed but told him.

"My mother's in hospital. She's in a coma" Momo said, in a broken whisper. Toshiro's eyes widened. Yet another person may be taken away from Momo. It wasn't fair. He wrapped her in another hug as he saw that tears were going to spill soon. "It's not fair, Toshiro-kun! Why is everyone being taken away from me? If my mother goes I have no-one left!" Momo said, nearly shouting whilst she sobbed again. Toshiro's heart broke for the girl again. She was suffering so much because of her father's death. Now, her mother could die to. How much suffering was Momo supposed to get? How much could she take? Toshiro hugged her tighter.

"It's okay, Momo." Toshiro said, softly. Momo was only semi-surprised he had called her Momo and not Hinamori. She didn't take much notice of it though. Seeing as she was still depressed about her mother. "You still have your mother. She's not gone. She'll be fine. But until then you have Nel." he then pulled her away, so she could look at him properly. Their eyes locked. Momo could see the seriousness in his eyes and something else. Her eyes widened as she thought it was something surprising. She thought it was love? Toshiro looked in her eyes and saw they were surprised, but he could see the sadness in them. He could see behind the surprise and sadness the love.

"You have me, Momo. You'll always have me." Toshiro whispered. Momo gasped surprised at what he did next. He leaned down slowly and his eyes closed as their lips met. Momo was momentarily dazed so she stood there, eyes bug wide as Toshiro kissed her. Then moments later her lips melted with his and she too closed her eyes. Her arms unconsciously wound around his neck. His arms wound around her waist. They were locked in a tight, loving embrace. Neither one of them wanting to break free. Momo forgot about her sadness for her mother. She forgot about everything. Every thought before vanished and was replaced with Toshiro. How her lips fit perfectly with his. How her whole body fit perfectly with his. As if they were supposed to be together. The taste of him. Mint. They way her whole body tingled as he kissed her gently but passionately. She loved it. Loved him.

A few moments later Toshiro broke off the kiss. He needed to breathe and so did she. If they didn't he would have kept kissing her. Toshiro rested his forehead against hers, as they breathed raggedly. Momo smiled at him, not a broken smile but a true, pure smile. He smiled back, glad to see her smiling again. He hated seeing her like she was earlier. He never wanted her to be that upset again. He silently made a promise to himself he would make sure she was never upset again.

"Thank you, Toshiro. I needed that." Momo whispered, with a small smile planted on her face. Toshiro smiled back.

"You're welcome, Momo" he whispered back, and gave her another kiss on the lips. But this time just a peck. He unwrapped his arms from her waist (and she did the same to his neck) then bent down and picked up her bag and swung it on his shoulder, on top of his bag. Momo was about to protest so he shook his head and kissed her forehead. Which shut her up. Toshiro then held out his hand to her and smiled. She looked at his hand and then at his smiling face and felt her lips curve up into a smile. She took his hand and together they walked back to class. Toshiro feeling extremely happy that he could now do that. Momo feeling happy about that too. But deep down she was still upset about her mother. Toshiro was just making her mind erase that feeling. Making her mind erase every feeling except one. Love.
