Toshiro's Birthday Party
Chapter 8: Momo and Toshiro's Trip to the World of the Living Part 3
Previously in Chapter 7:
"Well, maybe next time Momo. So, actually let's go into another store! I saw an AWESOME SHOE store when coming back! LET'S GO!" Rangiku said excitedly and they left the shop with a few bags in each hand.
Now in Chapter 8 (At the boy's side):
While eating, Toshiro suddenly felt a familiar spiritual pressure. "Do you feel that?" Toshiro asked Renji and Ichigo who were busy stuffing each other's faces. The two turned to look at him and shook their heads.
It feels like Momo. What is Momo doing here?
Toshiro thought to himself as he stood up and left the buffet. Renji and Ichigo ran after him as he ran a couple blocks stopping in front of the mall. Well, it's now or never. I need to know who that is! Toshiro thought again. And he went in, Ichigo and Renji following behind him yelling, "TOSHIRO!" But he didn't hear them.
Now at the girls….
"Ran chan! Let's stop! I'm tired and I want to eat something!" Momo complained. Rukia nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we should! Rangiku you have simply bought too much!" Rukia said as she and Momo looked over to Rangiku whose arms and legs were filled and carried with bags of clothes and shoes.
"Ran chan! You over did it again!" Momo said with a weak smile.
"Oops! Just don't tell taicho." Rangiku said with a grin.
"Don't tell taicho what?" A voice said from behind them.
Toshiro, Renji, and Ichigo were right there behind them in the mall. Rukia shook her head in disbelief. Did they want the operation to go wrong?
"Shiro chan! What are you doing here?" Momo said surprised.
"Well, that was what I was going to ask you Momo." Toshiro said looking over to Rangiku and Rukia. "Matsumoto, didn't I tell you to limit the things you buy? You are making the squad lose money from your shopping especially when we need it!"
"But taicho! The things here are WONDERFUL!" Rangiku replied giving her captain a suffocating hug. The prodigy sighed.
"Um, if you would excuse me, Rangiku, Ichigo, and Renji for a moment. Captain Hitsugaya." Rukia said giving a small bow. Toshiro nodded and he was left with Momo alone.
"So Shiro chan, how did you know I was here?" Momo asked with a bright smile on her face.
"Well, simple, you released your spiritual pressure when killing that hollow and performing konso which you did splendidly. I will be reporting that to the Head Captain Yamamoto."
Momo blushed at his praise. "Thanks Shiro chan!" She said.
"That's Captain Hitsugaya to you!" The prodigy said back.
While they are talking, the group gathers around a table at the rest area…..
"ICHIGO! RENJI! WHY DID YOU TAKE HIM HERE! EVERYTHING WAS GOING PERFECTLY UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP!" Rukia yelled kicking them in the face. Matsumoto for the first time didn't say anything.
"Well, we didn't really take him here actually. We were trying to take him away as far as we could, but he must have sensed Momo's spiritual pressure when defeating the hollow and performing konso." Renji replied in a serious tone. He somehow replaced Rukia's face with his captain's, making him shudder at the thought.
"Is that so?" Rukia said eyeing the two suspiciously.
"I think what their saying is true, but now that they have seen each other, we should make some changes in the plan." Rangiku said speaking up in a serious tone.
"Well, I guess so. Then what should we do?" Rukia said, looking at her watch. They had been away for 3 minutes now and couldn't afford to be gone any longer. Hitsugaya might get suspicious!
"Well, then let's think fast before they notice!" Ichigo said, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Then all of a sudden, Renji said, "I know the PERFECT PLAN!"
Everyone turned to look at him as he stood up from his chair.
"I'll tell you my plan if Rukia will let me take part in her operation." He announced. Everyone nodded, and turned to Rukia.
"Alright, let's hear it."
Now back to Momo and Toshiro…
"Hmm, Shiro chan?" Momo said after awhile of awkward silence.
"Yeah?"
"Where do you think Ran chan and the others went? They've been gone for quite awhile now! I'm getting a bit worried, what happens if they faced trouble and I wasn't there to help them. What if-
"Momo! Stop worrying! Knowing Ichigo and Renji, I'm sure they're fine. You must remember that they have achieved Bankai and I also heard that Renji may be promoted to be a Captain!"
"Eh? Renji? Wow!" Momo said in awe. She was rather jealous of Renji, after all, they had started in the Academy together yet Renji was always the one who would push himself farther. Now he was going to be a captain sometime in the near future.
"Yeah," Toshiro said looking somewhere else.
Momo looked at him then turned away, she decided while Toshiro wasn't paying any attention to what she was doing, she would go off and search for the others.
Looking at Toshiro once again, who had his back facing her; she masked her reiatsu, and slipped away.
"Hey Momo, you want to-
Toshiro stopped. He didn't know when and how Momo gotten away. He sighed. Momo was so worried about the others, she didn't even stop and think about herself and the dangers she might cause upon herself.
Crap! Toshiro thought to himself, why am I so useless sometimes? She probably got so tired of me she decided to go look for the others. Am I really that boring?
Flashback:
"TAICHO!" Rangiku said running into the office and to the desk.
"What is it Rangiku?" He replied tiredly while looking up from his paperwork.
"We got a letter!" She said back excitedly while jumping around the office.
"Yeah? So what? We get letters EVERYDAY!"
"Well, this isn't just any letter taicho! It's in PINK STATIONARY!" Rangiku said waving it around. "TAICHO GOT A LOVE LETTER!"
"Hand it over Matsumoto. Let me see it, let's cross our fingers and hope it isn't one of those fan girl letters from other divisions."
Rangiku hands the letter to Toshiro. Watching him intently on every single step as he rips open the envelope with the carefully written name: Toshiro Hitsugaya.
"Well, who is it from?" Rangiku asked getting impatient.
"I haven't opened it yet, just be quiet and do some paperwork for once!" Toshiro said handing her the paperwork.
"Awww! But TAICHO!" Rangiku complained.
"NO BUTS AND THAT'S FINAL!"
"Yes taicho," Rangiku said as she slouched her shoulders and went over to her desk sitting down to start the paperwork.
Toshiro watched her as she started the first paper then opened the letter.
It read:
Dear Toshiro,
I bet you probably get these pink stationary love letters everyday at the 10th division! (Toshiro nodded in agreement) My SHIRO CHAN HAS GROWN UP NOW! (Grunts; now knowing who it is) But to me, the color pink symbolizes the way I care about you as well as the Soul Society. Shiro chan, I'm going on a mission today, I won't be back until a month or so. I'm not really sure. I know that I just recovered, but I really feel useless right now and alone. (ALONE? I'm always here for you) I was going to tell you the other day, but it seems that you were bored of me or something and was more interested in paperwork so I left.
Love,
Momo Hinamori
PS. Don't try to stop me from going. I already packed, and Captain Yamamoto signed the approval sheet. Please DON'T worry about me. I'll be perfectly fine.
End of flashback
Toshiro tried to hide those feelings of uselessness and doubt on himself. After Momo went, he hadn't got to see her after a WHOLE year! Momo also never told him where she went. She would always say, "I can't tell you, it's a secret."
Even after he pleaded and BEGGED on his knees. Momo still shook her head and left; leaving him there watching and listening to the sound of her footsteps fading away.
"Well, I guess I should go find Momo now." Toshiro muttered to himself as he hurried off in every direction in the mall.
In MOMO's POV (point of view)
Oh! I can't believe I just left him like that! Oh well, I better find Ran chan and the others!
I went past stores and little shops set up in the mall. Then, I got to the food court, panting and out of breath.
The food court was huge.
What am I suppose to suspect? It's the main mall in Karakura town!
I searched around hoping to see someone with bright orange hair or red hair.
In the table on the way left across, I spotted Renji and them all grouped up around a table leaning really close together as if they were plotting something.
I put up a kido to mask my presence then stalked my way over there.
They didn't notice.
In my head, I did a little YEAH! I DID IT! Dance. Then, I walked right over to their table and sat in the table right behind them.
I could hear everything they were talking about.
Renji was saying something that sounded like, "Okay, thanks Rukia. This is my plan, we keep going along with this now that they seen each other and stuff. Then later, we split and we must make sure that Momo and Toshiro get lost and can't find us! We'll keep watch on them of course!"
I was shocked. What were they planning?
Still keeping silent and my head not facing in their direction I continued to listen.
Renji continued, "Then, of course they will both eventually find each other and then we come out and ruin the moment while Momo will probably be hugging Hitsugaya for comfort."
I sat in my seat shocked at what he said but didn't move.
I heard Rukia smacking Renji saying, "What makes you think that your plan will work? Besides, what's the point of separating them then ruining their moment? I think if we think something will happen, we wait and watch."
Rukia added, "Also, Renji, girls aren't always weak! You should see Momo when she trains. In fact, she may be hiding more power but not showing it since Hitsugaya is always there fighting for her!"
I couldn't take in anymore. I squished right into their circle and said, "So what do I do in this plan of yours?"
Now to Toshiro…
In Toshiro's POV…
Darn! Where is she?
I scanned every store I went pass.
Still, no Momo.
Why would she just leave? I mean seriously!
Soon enough, I approached the food court.
There, I saw Momo quietly sitting in the table behind them as if she didn't want them to know she was sitting there. I watched intently as I saw her face go up into surprise.
What was she surprised about? But I didn't want to just go in and sit right next to her, I'll just have to wait, and make sure she tells me later.
She seemed a bit hesitant, than after a few minutes when I Rukia or Renji stopped talking, I saw her get up and squish herself right in between Rukia and Rangiku. Everyone was looking at her surprised as if they were talking about something they didn't want her or maybe even me to know.
I used this moment to appear to the group as well.
"So what do I do in this plan of yours?" I heard Momo say just as I also squished in right next to them.
Again, there were the shocked faces of idiocy and stupidity, like they didn't notice that me and Momo had been here for awhile now.
Renji was the first to speak:
"What did you hear?" He said rather slowly to me and Momo.
He looked at Momo first, and then she said, "Just this plan of yours."
