Ch. 21! Oh gosh, it's been so long...lol. Thank you to my adorable reviewers for leaving me awesome reviews. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a LONG while, but I have finals this week. I hate to keep you guys waiting and waiting, but ugh... In case you're wondering, school ends the 24th of this month for me. I know some of you ( for ex. Momo Hitsugaya) were released before or have already been released...lucky! lol. Anyway, here's your chapters guys and leave me a review!


Momo glanced up at the sobbing Dai. She could not comprehend why he was acting such way. First, he would act angry and "correct" her, stating that she was Kimiyo and that Momo was the one who was dead, when obviously it was the complete opposite. In her opinion, Momo thought that Dai was suffering from Kimiyo's death and he was so heart broken, he wasn't thinking for his actions and didn't want to see the truth.

Kimiyo was dead, and Dai was suffering because of it.

Sitting with his back leaned against a trunk and his legs pulled back with his face resting on his knees, Dai murmured things in a different language in which Momo had never even heard of. His face was pale and his eyes were read from the crying. His knuckles bled from when he had punched the tree before. He had been so angry with her that, unluckily for the tree, it had served as his punching bag.

Momo almost felt sorry for the guy. She knew that she would probably start acting crazy herself if she had lost Toushiro; nevertheless, she would never start picking random men who look like Toushiro and state that he was still alive.

"K-Kimiyo's not dead!" Dai yelled between sobs. "She's not! She's not!"

"Stop running away from the truth and face it! My sister's dead and Angora's responsible!"

Once the woman's name escaped her mouth, the prince leaped to his feet and faced her.

"What?!"

Momo flinched at his harsh tone, but continued to face him. The prince, with a surprised and angry look on his face, marched towards her, staring deep into her chestnut orbs.

"Angora's responsible for Kimiyo's death!? Is there something you're not telling me?"

Momo shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. To frame me probably?"

Dai looked at her, a slight hint of suspicion displayed on his face, but he then sighed and stared at the cloudy sky.

"I miss her…" he mumbled, though Momo still heard him. "I miss her….I don't know what to do. When I see you, I see her! I don't want to replace her in my lovelife, but Momo…"

He got up and walked towards her, looking at her with pleading eyes. Momo stepped back, shaking her head from left to right.

"For the last time, I am not Kimiyo."

"I know…but you two look so much alike…like twins…"

"Dai, no!" Momo yelled, sounding like a mother who was commanding her disobedient son to not eat the nice cream before supper.

"Momo, please… for my happiness!"

"Your happiness?! What about mine? I don't like you, please understand that. Kimiyo and I may look alike, but we're not the same! My sister's dead, please have some respec-"

"Yeah, she's dead!" Dai screamed, raising his arms as if giving up, "But I can't stay like this!"

"All of this is messing up your head. Think about what you're saying! Kimiyo wouldn't want something like this! Her own sister sleeping with the man she loves?"

Dai looked up at her, tears streaming down from his eyes. "How do I get rid of the pain in my heart then? I can't stop thinking of her. Every time I see you, I see her and I can't help but feel the same feeling I'd felt when she was alive."

"I have Toushiro-"

"He can have Angora. Please Momo, you're the closest thing I have to Kimiyo."

"Thing? You think I'm some kind of doll you can play around with? I'll say this for the last time, I don't want to be with you. I am not Kimiyo!"

Dai grabbed her arm, but once he did, Momo kicked him on the stomach with her knee, groaning as her stomach ached due to the wound Angora left her. Dai dropped to his knees, glaring up at her. The brunette stepped back, grabbing a rock in the meantime.

"Don't get near me." she warned.

Dai looked at the rock in her hand and laughed.

Yeah, I know it's silly, she thought, glaring down at him, but it's the only thing I can use to protect myself from you…

She told herself not to let any man, except Toushiro of course, touch her. She stared at the prince's head, calculating where she would hit him in case he tried something. Momo doesn't want to kill the poor guy, but giving him a concussion would be OK for now until she finds Toushiro.

The day was getting dark and she knew that he was probably looking for her. He had told her that government meetings did not last longer than four hours, and how many hours have passed ever since he left to that meeting?

Once the prince stood, Momo raised her hand and abruptly threw rock at him, fortunately hitting him right on the nose. Dai yelled as he stumbled back, placing his hand over his nose.

Momo saw tiny drops of blood dripping down from his nose as he yelled in another strange language. She wondered if she broke his nose badly, but suddenly the sound of twigs breaking and footsteps was heard. Turning her head, the brunette smiled as she spotted Toushiro walk appear with an unconscious Angora in his arms.

Gently placing Angora on the ground, Toushiro smiled and rushed over to her. Momo jumped on his arms, groaning at the still fresh wound. Toushiro kissed her cheek and looked at her worryingly.

"What's wrong?"

"My wound…"

Toushiro looked down and saw her dressed stain with blood and a deep wound on her stomach.

"Who did this to you?" His tone was harsh, but not towards her, of course.

"Angora did. We were fighting and she took out a knife and…"

Toushiro sighed, brushing his hand through his hair. A feeling of failure ran through his tired body.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't protect you."

"Don't apologize!" she stated firmly. "It wasn't your fault. You can't be attending a meeting and protecting me at the same time. Besides, I pulled up a pretty good fight!"

Her cheeks turned pink as she gave him a sheepish smile, making him chuckle. He glanced over her shoulder and saw the prince glaring at them with his hand on his nose.

"Did he touch you?"

"No," she replied with a shake of her head. "He tried, but I threw a rock at him and broke his nose. He knows that Kimiyo's dead, but because my sister and I look alike, he wants me to replace her."

Toushiro frowned at how stupid Dai was.

The prince stood and dropped his hands, letting the blood run down his nose.

"You don't understand the pain I feel."

"I'm sorry for your lose, but you have no reason to replace Kimiyo with Momo."

"Yes I do! Just look at Momo and think about Kimiyo's-"

"They're not the same person!" Toushiro scolded at him. "It won't be the same relationship. Why can't you fucking understand that? What if you were dead and Kimiyo was beginning to replace shortly after your death? You wouldn't like that, would you?"

Dai bit his bottom lip, fidgeting as he thought about that. Kimiyo replacing him? No, she wouldn't have! They love each other! She wouldn't betray him. He'd known Kimiyo for years; she wasn't capable of replacing him. Why was his head hurting? Why's everything so bright? He thought it was evening… He thought nightfall was approaching.

"No," he breathed out. "No…No…No! Kimiyo would never do that! She would never replace me!"

"Then how do you think she feels? You're replacing her with her own sister."

The prince, not wanting to hear more, walked towards them, his fists shaking like trembling rocks. His world span, and as it did, he almost lost his balance. His head ached more, and he stopped for a second, wondering what was wrong with him. He looked up at the couple in front of him, and out of the blue, he collapsed backwards.

Momo shrieked as she saw his body shake on the ground, his eyes closed. Cautiously, Toushiro walked towards him, staring at how his body trembled against the cold ground.

"Is he dead?" Momo asked.

Toushiro grabbed his hand and placed two fingers by his wrist, feeling his pulse.

"No, he's not. He's just unconscious."

"What do you think happened to him? He started shaking and then just fell on the ground."

"I don't know, but let's forget about him right now. As long as he's alive, he'll be alright. I'm sick of messing with him. Kimiyo's death is causing him to lose control of himself."

"Wh-What do we do then?"

"Let's just leave. Let's forget about them for now, and just think about us." he said with a mischievous smirk.

Momo held his hand and both walked away, telling one another the events that had happened over the last couple of hours. Toushiro filled in on her about how Angora and his grandfather would sleep behind his back, as well as sleep with Chief Guard as well. Momo told him that she had suspected something between the two, but had never dared to ask questions or investigate. Toushiro brightened her day once he told her that not longer was she a slave. No longer did she have to hide and fear Angora or anybody else.

Finally, they were going to be together, uncaring of the fear everyone was ought to bring on them.


Angora had watched the two walk away, hand to hand. Jealousy ripped through her body as tears rained down from her eyes. She was alone. Completely alone. Her body felt tired and ached. She wondered how much hair she had left on her scalp, but for once, she did not care about her hair. She didn't care about how disgusting she felt, how most of her hair was gone, how her beauty was quickly diminishing…

The only thing she cared about now was revenge. She had heard Toushiro tell her that she was no longer a slave…that she had freedom of doing whatever she wants.

Bitch…. I had the best life… Every woman wanted to be me, everyman wanted to be with me… This is all your fault. I'll ruin your life the same way you ruined mine…

Angora turned, laying on her stomach, and stared at the unconscious prince. She then looked around, making sure no one was coming, and quickly she crawled away.

I'm coming for you, Momo…
