Chapter 7: Closer to Me
"Well, there's no other choice, but to forget her," he muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me," Tosen stopped alongside him. "Did you say something?"
"No, I was just talking to myself, it's nothing." Prince Hitsugaya put his sword back in his sheath and headed towards the door. He looked disheartened as he walked out the door.
The door silently shut and Kaname shook his head. "I'm sorry my prince you cannot trust me in telling me your problems. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a girl."
Toshiro walked through the empty, vast hallways cursing at himself for feeling that way over some mysterious girl. 'That's two now that I let myself care for. Unless it's the same one, but- No, I really doubt it. I just, it's just. Uhggg!!!!!! I shouldn't even behave like that. I have all this responsibility that I'm sick of it. Sick of everything! I'm sick of Aizen, Ichimaru, Father, guards, these walls, these rules, and arranged marriages! And most of all, I'm annoyed of myself!"
He was about to reach for the knob of his room when he heard Aizen's laughter. All the anger that was mounting inside him exploded. In blind fury, the prince drew out his sword and had it at Sosuke's exposed neck. "I am not in the mood. Say one thing to tick me off and I won't hold back."
"I just came to deliver a message, Prince Hitsugaya. In three days you will meet your first candidate for a wife," the advisor smirked. "I suggest you get rid of your anger because your father will not allow you to get out of this so easily. You will get married to a princess and not some fantasy girl."
Murder flashed through Hitsugaya's eyes, but it was gone in an instant. "HowDidYouKnow?" he growled.
Aizen stepped away from the blade. "We're not blind, little Shiro. We know what goes on in your life. It's our job."
X. X. X.
"Momo! I finally found you!" Knight Kira looked terribly happy and excited. "There's an opening for you! I found you a better job, one that will pay you even if you're a woman!"
Even though she wasn't looking for a job, Momo felt as excited and happy as Kira. She always enjoyed seeing her friends happy that it always may her feel the same way. "That's great Izuru, but I like working at your house. I don't need to be paid, everyone here is so kind and gentle it's all I need. Why do you want me to leave?"
The question came out sad and worried that Kira couldn't do anything else but embrace her. "No, no, I don't want you to leave, but I do want you closer to me. I'll be working more often at the palace and I want you to be there with me. You can come back home with me every night and you'll get money that you can use on whatever you need. And… and if you get promoted into higher class jobs, then it might… it might, we might, we could…"
"Get married?" Hinamori looked up at him.
He smile and gently cupped her face. "Yeah. It's the only way. Unless the prince or king changes your social class, we can't be together."
Hinamori couldn't breathe. 'Get married to Kira?! Really! I always dreamed of marrying him when I was little, but… why do I have this pain in my chest? Is it because I'm overjoyed or…? Prince Hitsugaya! But… no. No, no, the prince has no feelings for you, he doesn't even know it was you those two times. And if he did find out….'
"Hinamori? Momo, are you alright?" Izuru was close to her face that all she could do was blush.
She smiled shyly and nodded, "I'll try. I'll try really hard as to not put shame on you."
"Oh, Momo, nothing you can do will be shameful to me," Kira got even closer. "Ever since we were little, I've always known I loved you. You and you alone are the only things I ever see or think about. I love you." He kissed her forehead and backed away even happier than before. "I'll get you that job and we'll be closer, I promise." With that said he left. He felt like he was on cloud nine, floating to his own heaven. 'She didn't exactly say yes, but its close enough!'
'He didn't purpose yet, but it's close enough. I hope I can love him with all my heart.' Momo walked to the little house she shared with other orphans in a daze. It wasn't until she was in her room that she began to cry. She had so many mixed emotions that it was hard to recognize every one of them. "What am I going to do?" she said in between sobs. "I-I think I-I-I'm in love with prince Hitsugaya. But I love Kira to death. How do I know, who can I tell? What am I going to do?"

The prince was in his room with his back pressed against the double doors. He had no strength left and slowly slid down to the floor. "How did this happen? Why am I protecting some girl I don't even know? Could it be that-?" Toshiro couldn't even say it out loud. 'There is nothing I know about either of them. For all I know the one who fell on me could have been a small boy. That's all I have to do, I have to forget about them. I'll concentrate on what my father wants me to be, I'll—.'
"Who am I kidding?" Hitsugaya whispered. "I might— I might be in love with one of the girls. I can't seem to forget about either of them. How do I know, who in the world can I tell? What should I do?"
Me Notes: Yay! I'm done! Sorry again, but this time, sorry if this chapter sound kinda cheesy, I've been reading romances for a whole month and maybe it's starting to affect me. I'll work on other stories too! Thanks to everyone who kept pushing me! Love u all!
