Hey everyone. It's been a while, huh? Well, I just haven't felt like writing.. (Sigh) I wanted to write again on Saturday (my birthday), but I had no idea what to write. Then I remember this. Hehe.. Here you go!

"Welcome home." Rangiku said to a bewildered Momo.
"This is incredible." Momo muttered. Rangiku smiled and started walking.
Momo started to follow. "Where are we going?" She asked. "To my room. I have some things to give to you." Rangiku answered. She turned around and picked Momo up to start flash stepping.
"I don't feel like explaining you to anyone right now." Rangiku murmured to her.
In a second, Momo was being pushed into a window and found herself in a bedroom. Rangiku came in after her and walked over to her bed. She reached underneath and pulled out a little box.
"Here." She said, throwing a little piece of cloth over to Momo. Momo stared at it. "What am I supposed to do with this?" She asked. Rangiku sighed and walked over. She took the cloth from Momo's hands and turned her around. She put her hair into a high ponytail and then bunched all the hair together before putting the cloth over it.
She smiled sadly. "If only you still had your bangs." Rangiku shook her head and walked to the door. "Stay here. I'm going to go get someone." She told Momo before leaving the room.
Momo sat on Rangiku's bed and looked around. Her room was plain. Too plain. She looked in the box that Rangiku had pulled out and gasped. She picked up a picture of her and Rangiku. Rangiku had her arm around Momo and a big smile on her face, holding up a two fingers to make a peace sign. Momo was just smiling a simple smile.
She put the picture back and looked again. This time she found a letter.
Dear Momo,
I just wanted to say goodbye. I'm sorry that I couldn't help at all. You were killed because of my carelessness. I will never forgive myself for the pain I caused you and mostly taicho. He misses you so much, Momo. Everyday, he comes into the office, does his paperwork, then locks himself in his room. I don't think he's even eating. I hope that one day he will smile again. Even if it's just a tiny little one. I'm sorry again.. I hope I'll get to see you soon, even if it's only a glance while I'm on a mission.
-Rangiku
Momo stared with wide eyes at the paper. There were smudges on the in ink, proving that Rangiku had been crying while writing this. Momo bit her lip to keep from crying herself and she put the letter back and closed the box, the box that held memories from her previous life. The life that she would never get back.

"Izuru!"
Izuru looked up and saw Rangiku waving to him. She stopped and smiled. "You wanna come over later?" She asked.
Izuru shook his head. "Sorry, I can't. I have way to much work."
Rangiku pouted. "Oh, come on! Just for a minute! I have someone there that you would love to meet."
Izuru thought for a minute and then sighed. "Fine, just for a moment. Just let me go check in with my squad."
Rangiku clapped and followed him to the squad 3 barracks.

Momo was lying on Rangiku's bed staring at the plain sealing. She never expected to be in the place of her dreams. In this place, everyone knew her, and missed her, and were friends with her. But she didn't care. She closed her eyes and tried hard to think of who this "Taicho" person was in Rangiku's letter. She thought of Toshiro, but then the thought would go away. She didn't want to think of him right now.
Her eyes snapped open when she heard something come from, what sounded like, the end of the hallway. She heard something break, a crash, and then an angered yell.
"MATSUMOTO!!!!!!"
Momo bolted off of the bed and looked around for a place to hide. She knew that voice better than any other one in the world.
She stiffened up when she heard the door slam open.
"Why the hell are there sake bottles-!?"
Momo turned around to see Toshiro standing in the doorway, a bottle in his hands, staring at her. He scoffed and turned around.
"That's right. She left for the mission this morning." He said in an icy tone.
Momo started to walk to the door.
"Hey! Hitsugaya-Kun!"
He stopped but didn't turn to her.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
"Because I wanted to see you! You just left without saying goodbye to anyone!" Momo yelled.
"What are you talking about? You are the only human I was in contact with." He stated.
Momo felt her face red with anger as she walked towards him. She stood in front of him and brought her hand up. In a second, Toshiro's face was turned to the side with a large red mark on his cheek.
"Quit jerking me around! I know that you're Toshiro Hitsugaya! The shinigami who went to the real world and enrolled into my school!" She yelled.
Toshiro stared at the wall as his eyes became saddened. He closed his eyes and walked passed Momo.
"You should go back home. You don't belong here." He said.
Momo felt tears in her eyes.
"You… You bastard!" She yelled, causing him to stop again. "You're such a freaking idiot if you think I'm just going to go home! Don't you see that this is my home?! I may not remember it clearly, but I know that my home and my place to belong is where ever you are!" Tears were now on her face.
Toshiro stood in front of him with wide eyes.
"If you don't want me near you then why did you kiss me?!"
Toshiro turned around to face a sobbing Momo.
"Please tell me.. Shiro-Chan…" She said quietly.
Momo's eyes widened when she felt herself pulled into someone's arms. She looked to see white.
"I only did that.. Because seeing you made me go out of control. Seeing that you were alright made me want to see you even more. But, you aren't Momo Hinamori anymore. You're Momo Hinata."
Momo smiled and wrapped her arms around Toshiro.
"No.. While I'm here, I am Momo Hinamori just as much as you are Toshiro Hitsugaya."
Toshiro stared at the ground, taking in Momo's scent. Taking in HIS Momo's scent. It smelled exactly the same as 15 years prior to that moment; Peaches. He smiled sadly and closed his eyes.
"Thank you.. Momo.."
Rangiku stood smiling at the two people in front of her. Izuru and Renji stood in shock.
"Is that.. Really her?" Izuru whispered half to himself.
Rangiku smiled even more.
"Yup. That's her. That's our Momo."
