Momo and Rukia walked towards the Bleeding Souls' dorm. Momo was fidgeting. She was nervous. She wanted to tell Toshirou that she loved him but she didn't know how she would react. Would he be angry or shocked? Would he slam the door in her face and tell her that he was already dating some super-rich, supermodel.
There was no telling of what would happen.
They reached the door so Rukia knocked. Toshirou opened it. His gaze was cold at first but his eyes widened as he saw Momo. That was the first time he saw her up close. She was beautiful. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail while the rest flew down her back. Her gaze was on the floor. He wanted to see her eyes.
And as if she was reading his mind, Momo raised her head and caught Toshirou's eye. She blushed a beet red, turned and ran. She ran as fast as she could away from Toshirou.
Without thinking, Toshirou dashed after her. Momo looked behind and saw Toshirou follow her.
"Oh… crap!!" she thought as she continued to run.
Momo turned a corner and weaved through some garbage cans and turned into a dark alley. Afraid that Toshirou would catch up soon, she ran down the alley and disappeared.
Seconds later, Toshirou arrived at the dark alley to find it totally deserted. He sighed and trailed his fingers through his hair.
"Now were did she g-"
He was cut of by a shrill scream.
Toshirou's eyes widened and he ran towards the person who screamed. He found himself in front of a group of thugs that were holding Momo.
"Ne, whatcha doing here shortie?" one man asked.
"I should ask you the same thing, gigantore." he replied
"What did you just call me?" he fumed
"You heard me."
That man's hands curled up into fists but then a voice from the back spoke up.
"Stop it Yammy, that's not very nice." a tall man called. "Hello I'm Aizen Sousuke. This is Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Yammy, Tousen and Gin. We are the Espada Arrancar."
"Cor-nee name." a voice remarked from behind Ulquiorra.
Toshirou peered around Ulquiorra and saw Momo being prisoner by Grimmjow.
"Let her go."Toshirou growled.
"No can do buddy. Unless you and your band withdraw from the competition."Aizen told him.
"I said let her go!" he yelled.
"Hey Shiro-Chan, I don't need your help." Momo called.
"Of yeah you do. Your held pri-"
Toshirou was cut of when Momo kneaded Grimmjow. Toshirou winced and felt sympathy for the man groaning on the floor.
Yammy then leapt at Momo but she was quicker. Momo did a back flip and her feet contacted the bottom of his jaw. Yammy fell to his knees and howled in pain. He then tried in knocking Momo off her feet. Momo jumped the first time he swung at her but she wasn't lucky the second time round.
She fell to the floor and Yammy grabbed her legs and began dragging her (A/N she was wearing jeans.)She shook and screamed but something muscular scooped her up and held her bridal-style. The person then started to run. Momo looked up and saw Toshirou.
She blushed and started to squirm
"Lemme go." she squealed.
Toshirou reached out and pinched her neck and instantly, Momo slumped over.
"Sorry " he muttered as he sped of back to his dorm.
Moments later he arrived to find an anxious Rukia.
"What happened?" She cried rushing to Momo's side.
"She bumped into the Espada something band. She kneaded a guy and another guy got mad knocked her out." he told her.
Ichigo who was standing a fair distance away winced when he heard Toshirou say that she actually tried to take on those thugs.
"But I must say, she does know good self defence. Heck, she might even be able to beat you Ichigo." Toshirou smirked.
Ichigo growled and attempted to respond before Rukia kicked him of the butt, hard.
"Shut up, Baka. She's knocked out so at least be quiet!" she scolded.
Toshirou silently laughed as he watched his best friend and a random girl quarrel.
He decided it would pass the time watching.
Hours later, Momo slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room. It wasn't her dorm room because there was no snoring Inoue.
She sat up and looked around. This definitely wasn't her room.
"I see your finally awake." a voice suddenly spoke.
It took all of Momo's energy not to shriek but to only turn around. But as soon as she did, she froze. Toshirou was glaring at her. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Why did you run when you saw me?"
Momo looked at her lap and started playing with her long hair. She was embarrassed that she couldn't tell it straight to his face.
" Uh…nothing. I'm tired. Let me sleep." she finally said.
Toshirou sighed and nodded.
"'Night" he muttered before he headed upstairs.
Momo gently laid her head back on. Silent tears dripped down her face and started to wet her pillow.
