Chapter 13: Momo got everyone worried.
Miyuki's POV
"TOSHIRO"
"Hi!" He said smiling at Jenny who surprised us by suddenly slamming the door and called him.
"What are you two doing up here? Did something happen?" Jen asked.
"Nothing really, we're just playing around. Why?" He answered. Jen looked at me suspiciously.
"The receptionist called me and asked if something happened to you because Toshiro showed up and was in a hurry to find you." She said to us.
"We're just talking about stupid topics." I said.
"Then why are you in such a hurry when you came here?" She's looking at Toshiro, and he snickered.
"Well it's some sort of a dare. I had to be here how many minutes again?" He looked at me.
"Eight. And he broke the record. It only took him six minutes to get here." I added to assure her that nothing happened. She believed us. (Thank goodness)
"Don't do that again okay?" -Jenny
"Okay. Sorry." Kaiser.
"It's okay. Wanna eat some ice cream?" She asked.
"ICE CREAM!" I said happily. I don't want her to worry about us. We followed her down stairs. She went to the receptionist and said that everything is okay because we're just playing a game.
We went to the mall and looked around for a few minutes, then went to the ice cream parlor. While Jen was on the counter Kaiser and I waited for her at the table. I was looking around and saw his girlfriend hanging out with a guy. They looked alike. Maybe her brother or relative. They're walking toward another guy he was waving at them. That's all I saw because Kai was calling me and I don't want him to worry about me again.
"Miyu are you okay?" He asked
"Yup, maybe I was just daydreaming." I answered.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not really, but I can manage." I replied.
"You should sleep early and rest." Jen said who was standing behind us holding four parfaits.
"Is it okay for you to eat two large glasses?" I questioned.
"Of course not, the other one's for me." said Kyosuke who was standing behind us.
"How long have you been there?" I asked.
"I just arrived." He said then grinned.
"Kai are you okay?" Jen asked, but he didn't reply. He seems to be in a deep thought."Kai? Kai?" still no response.
"Hitshushiro, what's wrong?" I tried to talk to him but no reply.
"Kaiser Blue Hitsugaya! Hello!"...silence… Jen and Kyosuke just looked at us while I was trying to take him back to Earth. I pulled his ear and said."Hitsugaya Toshiro, wake up!"
"What was that?" he asked (Finally.) I signed in relief.
"Welcome back to earth! So how many planets did you explore?" Jen answered.
"Oh. I don't know. Sorry" he replied.
"No problem, choose one. Miyu's waiting for the last." –Jen.
"I'll have the one with fewer sweets."-Kai.
"Thought you'd say that." I said then smiled.
We took our time in eating our parfaits. It's good. Jen and Kyosuke are in their own happy bubble while Kai was eating quietly. I just looked around and thought about Zed's warning. I didn't do anything wrong so no need to feel guilty about anything. Toshiro and I are just friends.
*********NEXT MORNING************
Ichigo, Rangiku and Orihime were at the room behind my desk. They're early again. No one was there just the four of us.
"So how did it go?" Ichigo asked.
"Not good. He was mad at me for not telling him that we went to the mall after watching the live practice." I answered.
"What the hell is wrong with him?! He's making it seem like you're doing something wrong when you didn't. You just spent some time with us." Ran added.
"I know. I tried to explain everything to him but he just won't believe me. He told me that I was cheating on him."
"Why's that? You don't have a boyfriend in showbiz, even though he knows nothing about you being a model." Orihime asked.
"He saw me with Toshiro at C46 while were looking for movies." I answered.
"It doesn't make sense. You were with us and what's the big deal about you being with Toshiro? You're friends with him." said Ichigo.
"He didn't see you. I don't know where he got the idea but I think there's something wrong."
"Were you able to ask him about….you know who…..." Ran asked.
"No I didn't get the chance because he kept talking about me and Hitsugaya."
"You should break up with him." said Ichigo.
I noticed somebody was at the door so I opened my sketch pad and showed them some drawing and they laughed.
"Let's continue this later." I said. I showed them a chibi Zedrich throwing tantrums. Hitsugaya entered the room with Renji and Rukia.
"How cute?! I want one too." said Orihime.
"I have one for you and Ichigo." I flipped the pages and showed them chibi Ichigo passing a strawberry to chibi Orihime.
"Good morning guys."Rangiku and I greeted the three while Ichigo and Orihime recovered from the drawing.
"Is everything okay?" asked Rukia.
"Yup we have to talk to you about "him" later." I said grinning at her so the other won't notice.
"Wow, so you're really updating her every day?" asked Ran.
"Not every day. But I promised to update whenever there is something new." I said.
Ichigo whispered "Renji has to know." I looked at him and grinned "Yeah, sure." I said.
At break time Ichigo talked to Renji while the rest of us finished our snacks. I was keeping an eye on Toshiro. We have it confirm it from Zed before telling him everything. No one talked about Zedrich for the whole day. I also stopped the girls from hugging me because my shoulders are bruised but I told them that I just woke up at the wrong angle.
"Guys wanna have some sleepover this Saturday?" Ran asked.
"Sure, where?" asked Orihime.
"My place." I said. "I already asked my mom and she's okay with it."
"So were staying up late night? Did she give any rules or conditions?" asked Ichigo.
"Just the usual. You're okay with it right?" I answered.
"Momo what about?" asked Rukia.
"I can manage. You guys have nothing to worry about." I said. I didn't let her finish because I know that she's talking about Hitsugaya. I'll make sure he wouldn't find out anything about our secret. I'll even sleep with my glasses on if I have to. "So who's coming?" I asked.
"Everyone of course, right Toshiro?" asked Renji.
"I'm invited too?" he asked.
"You don't want to?" - Me
"I do. But I'm not sure if I'll be there on time." He answered.
"That's okay; you have to go to work right?" I'm not sure if we have work this Saturday, but I'll think of a way not to get caught if we have anything scheduled.
We're on our way home when we saw Amber at the park. Hitsugaya decided to approach her.
TOSHIRO'S POV
After school we decided to hangout for a while. We're on our way home when we saw Amber at the park. I went to her.
"Hi Amber, I thought you were with your cousins?" I asked.
"Yup, they told me to wait for them here." She replied.
"Oh okay."
Her phone began ringing …..She looked at me as if asking if she could answer it.
"Go ahead."
She answered the called and told me that she has to go. I walked back to the others who waited for meat the sidewalk.
"Thanks for waiting."
"No problem" said Momo and she smiled at me.
While walking I was wondering how Miyuki's doing. I haven't heard from her since last night. I can't stop worrying since she cried and the threat from my grandfather is adding up to the pressure. Even when they told me that she caused the accident that killed my mom, I still can't think of a good reason for me to hurt her. I don't have any right to hurt her or avenge my mother's death.
"Shiro?" I heard Miyuki's voice calling me.
"Are you okay?" there it is again.
To be continued…
Thank you for reading.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATSUMOTO RANGIKU!
