A/N: School's just around the corner….ugh…. that's not too good. But then again I'm kinda looking forward to school this year…. Stupid bittersweet feelings…

Stalkers, Love, and Air Hockey

Chapter 9

Kimi seemed to realize that she shouldn't have yelled at Momo quite so loud. She turned and ran off, clearly wanting to avoid the conflict. Momo watched the white haired girl go and wished she could also run away from all this.

"Y-You know what, Asami, why don't you just go take Toshiro now? He's not worth fighting over anymore." Momo fibbed. She didn't know what to do, now that the plan was going down the toilet.

"Oh, don't worry bed wetter, I plan on to. But first thing's first…" Asami pulled out a microphone from places unknown and demanded the attention off the remaining fangirls.

"We've been tricked! All this time we thought we were fighting for Toshiro, but it was in vain. The Aijou Air Hockey Tournament is rigged, rigged I tell you!" Asami screeched, glaring up at Toshiro. The Hitsugaya kid and Ryan were frozen in shock. The other fangirls gasped and whispered to each other.

"Why should we believe you?" One brave soul shouted, earning a round of agreed murmurs.

"You should believe me because I've dealt with Toshiro's lies before! But let's not blame him. Rather let's blame the witch that was responsible for this entire heart brake: Momo Hinamori!" Asami pointed at Momo, and to the brunette's dismay the other girls seemed to believe her.

"I say we stick her head in the boy's bathroom's toilets!" One girl shouted.

"Let's make her clean the cafeteria with her toothbrush!" another called.

"No, we will give her the ultimate punishment; we shall make her watch as I claim Toshiro as my own!" Asami shouted, smirking when the other fangirls looked taken aback.

"That's not fair! Why do you get Toshiro?" the brave kid from before growled.

"Because if you don't, then I'll have to use this!" Asami cried as she pulled out a spork. The fangirls laughed; they weren't afraid of a kitchen utensil. But Momo, Toshiro, and Ryan knew there was more to that tiny item then meets the eye.

Asami aimed for one of the air hockey tables and pressed a tiny red button on the end of the spork. A laser beam shot out and smashed the table into a million pieces. Screams erupted as the fangirls and members of the audience fled the school.

In the mass hysteria, Toshiro ripped off his crown and cape and tried to run to Momo. But he couldn't find her amidst all the people.

"Ryan, find that crazy girl and lock her up!" Toshiro yelled, praying Momo was all right. Ryan nodded and scuttled off in another direction. When the school was as empty as a ghost town, Toshiro saw Asami some five yards away holding the spork to Momo's neck.

"Asami, don't hurt her!" he hollered, his voice almost pleading.

"Hee hee, it's nice to see you too Shiro-chan!" Asami giggled. Momo's bottom lip quivered; that spork was dangerously close to her neck.

"Please, Asami, I'll do anything you want! Just don't hurt Momo!" Toshiro promised. He was watching Asami's every move like a hawk, waiting for some kind of attack.

"Anything?" Asami questioned, making sure they had an understanding.

"Don't do it Toshiro! I'm not worth it!" Momo cried, knowing what Toshiro was about to do.

'Where's Ryan when you need him?' the Hinamori girl thought sorrowfully.

"You are worth it, Momo. It's my fault you're in this mess, and that's exactly why I have to do this. Asami, if you let Momo go home safely and promise not to ever bother her family again, I will do anything you want. It doesn't matter what. If it makes you happy, I'll do it." Toshiro stated, his voice turning hard and cold.

"No! Asami you can take me and do whatever you want to me! Just leave Toshiro alone!" Momo yelled, tears sliding down her cheeks. Asami cackled joyfully.

"Oh happy day! I finally get the man of my dreams, and I get to watch my enemy cry about it! This is better then Christmas!" Asami threw Momo to the ground, laughing again when she heard a loud 'thud'. Momo gasped in pain as she clutched the back of her head. She could feel a bump swelling.

"Momo!" Toshiro reached out, wishing he could help his beloved. Asami closed the distance between she and Toshiro and automatically pulled him in for a kiss. Momo watched from the ground; her head was spinning and pounding painfully.

"I love you so much Shiro-chan!" Asami gasped when their lips finally parted. Toshiro looked slightly green.

'Her tongue… was in…m-my mouth…' Toshiro thought, his insides cramping with disgust. He had never felt so traumatized in all his life!

"Come, Shiro-chan! Let's race off into the sunset and celebrate our new love!" Asami cheered, her arms still wrapped around the white haired boy. Toshiro grunted in reply, looking desperately at Momo.

"Goodbye, Momo." Toshiro uttered as Asami forcefully dragged him away. With wobbly legs Momo made herself stand up.

"Toshiro…!" Momo whispered, watching her boyfriend walk away in the arms of the black haired beast. The duo didn't get far. In fact, they had barely gone six feet before a giant net came falling from the ceiling. Toshiro narrowly dodged the falling net, but Asami wasn't so lucky. She crashed to the ground, her spork flying. It was caught by our favorite blond servant.

"Ryan! You pulled through!" Toshiro smiled a truly happy smile.

"The police are on their way. I told them everything; they assured me this time Asami wouldn't escape." Ryan announced proudly.

"No! You ruined everything! We were suppose to be together!" Asami cried angrily.

"Not in this life time." Toshiro hissed, death glaring the black haired girl.

"Toshiro!" Momo yelled delightfully. She ran to him, and when he was close enough she pulled him into a big hug.

"Oh Momo, I'm so terribly sorry!" He whispered in her ear.

"I know, I know…" Momo whispered back, the tears still flowing. Nobody paid any attention to the struggling girl under the net.

"Grrr, that's it! You dorks are going down, and then Toshiro and I can be together! Mom, Dad, attack!" Asami commanded. Out of nowhere her parents came running, each holding a machete. Her father carried a katana, which he quickly used to cut Asami free.

"Here you go, darling." He said once his daughter was standing. He handed over the katana and coughed briefly.

"Looks like my brother's given you some of his sickness." Asami's mom stated with concern.

"Is Uncle Torikkusuta sick again?" Asami asked, her voice slightly worried. It was the only time Toshiro had ever heard such an emotion coming from Asami.

"Wait, Tansei's your uncle?!" Momo gasped in surprise. It was hard to imagine, given the close age difference.

"No, stupid. Tansei's my cousin. I'm talking about his dad." Asami snapped as she adjusted her hold on her katana.

"Now, if we're through with twenty questions, I'd like to finish this once and for all." Asami said. The family of three raised their blades in unison, preparing to strike. Toshiro held Momo as tight as he could, both of them fearing for their lives. Ryan moved to stand in front of the two teens. He may not last long in a three on one fight, but he was prepared to protect them with his life.

"Prepare to die-!" Asami started to say, her eyes shining with triumph. Before she could finish, however, a puck came flying out of the background and clunked Asami on the head.

"Ow! What the…? Who did that?" she yelled, looking around for the troublemaker. Another trio stepped forward, and they were the last people Momo had ever expected to see.

"Leave my big sister alone, you meanie!" Etsuko Hinamori shouted, her tiny hands full of red air hockey pucks.

"If you touch a hair on their heads, I'll make your lives living torture!" Dave growled as he raised a baseball bat.

"Momo, Toshiro, are you alright?" Lily inquired, her mother instincts kicking in. She was holding a can of hair spray.

"Mom, Dad, and Etsuko? Why are you here?" Momo questioned, now fearful that her entire family was going to die.

"Etsuko can be very persuasive when she knows she's right." Dave uttered. He smiled at his youngest daughter.

"She told us everything, Momo. We knew you were in way over your head, and that it was time for an intervention. So now we're here, and we're going to save you both!" Lily added.

"Hey, what about me?" Ryan moaned.

"I'm still young! I don't want to die yet! There's so much in life I haven't done yet!"

"OH WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP!" Asami screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Mom, Dad, let's take care of Momo's family. I want her to watch while we slice and dice 'em!" Asami ordered with malice.

"No, don't!" Momo shouted, her eyes wide. Toshiro gritted his teeth, and he knew Ryan was thinking a stream of curse words. Their weapons seemed pathetic in comparison to Asami's katana and her parent's large knives.

"We can take care of ourselves, Momo." Etsuko said with a tiny smirk. She gestured for Asami and her family to attack first.

"Here we come!" The Kichigai family announced in unison. They ran at the young girl and raised their swords. Etsuko jumped out of the way while Dave took her place. He swung his baseball bat professionally, blocking the triple blade attack.

Dave pushed the blades away and moved aside for his wife. Before Asami or her parents could raise their weapons Lily raised her bottle of hair spray and sprayed the trio's emerald eyes.

"Ahhh!" They yelled blindly. Lily moved out of the way as Etsuko raised her remaining pucks. She let them fly like shurikens (or ninja stars), and they hit the Kichigai family in the face. The hair spray was still in affect; neither Asami nor her parents could see a thing, and their faces hurt from the flying pucks. They stumbled into each other and fell to the ground.

"That was incredible!" Ryan roared happily.

"Mom! Dad! Etsuko!" Momo cried out. Toshiro let go of the fourth member of the Hinamori family and watched her run to her parents and sister.

"I'm sorry, for everything!" Momo sobbed as she embraced her family. They hugged her back, each one crying just a little.

"It's okay Momo; we understand." Dave and Lily muttered in unison. Ryan walked over and patted Toshiro on the back. No words were said; they both knew they were proud of the other in ways that words couldn't describe. The police showed up not too long after that.

"I'm sorry this had to happen. I swear on my badge that these three will be locked away for good this time!" A police officer said to Momo and Toshiro. This time, they believed it.

"Let's all go back to the Hitsugaya home and celebrate!" Ryan suggested. He got a loud cheer of agreement from Etsuko, who happened to be riding on his shoulders at the time. They exited the school first, to find the SUV and bring it up front. When they could hear Ryan honking his horn, Momo's parents left the gym.

"Now that we're alone…" Toshiro said once Dave and Lily's footsteps had disappeared. He took Momo's face in his hands and kissed her. They stayed like that until Ryan honked his horn again.

"Well, it's finally over." Toshiro sighed as he took Momo's hand in his. They started walking down the hallways of the school.

"Yeah, and I couldn't be happier. But there is one problem we still have to fix…" Momo reminded him, though the male's face was blank.

"I don't know if I can call you Shiro-chan anymore. After hearing Asami say it…it sounds like her. You, sir, need a new nickname. I guess that works out well, because you always hated that name." Momo watched as Toshiro scowled.

"Asami stole that name from you. I don't want another nickname." Toshiro declared, though he couldn't bring himself to admit just how much he liked Momo calling him that.

"Oh, okay. If you're sure…Shiro-chan." Momo added with a smile. The horn beeped again, and they hurried to catch up with Ryan and the rest of Momo's family. Asami never bothered them ever again.

A/N: That, my friends, is the official end of my first trilogy. Never before have I been asked to write two sequels following one of my fanfictions, and without your support and love of my writing this never would have been possible. So thank you readers. Whether you're new or have been with me from the start, you deserve more credit then I can ever give you. Keep an eye on the two fanfictions in the Air Hockey Saga; I just might go back and rewrite them sometime ;D
