Chapter 7.1 – Kiss
:: November 27, 2009; Monday; 8:30PM; Coffee Shop ::
.
At the same time Rukia and Ichigo were gazing at the stars at the riverbank, in the coffee shop, there was something interesting happening.
Two girls, who looked like at their age and both studying in the same school as them, approached the group at the counter, particularly Toushirou.
"Um… hello Toushirou-kun." One of the girls greeted.
"Oh, hello." Toushirou acknowledged. "What can I do for you?" he asked politely.
"Uh… actually we are planning to create a club." The other girl replied.
"Club? For what?" he asked confused.
"A fan club for you." The five youngsters were dumbfounded.
"EEEEHHH?" Rangiku, Tatsuya, Orihime, Momo and even Toushirou shrieked in shock.
However, Rangiku was the first one to be amazed. "Woah! My brother is so famous! I can't believe it!"
"He's so cute that is why he has many fans." Orihime commented with a giggle.
"You're great! You hit the jackpot Shirou!" Tatsuya laughed.
"B-But…" Toushirou stuttered.
"Let us do it."
"Please?"
Both girls gave their battling eyelashes and pouting lips.
Toushirou seemed to think about it but then smiled. "Okay. Who am I to disagree to beautiful girls like you?"
"Kyaaahh! Yay! You're so nice!" both girls squealed.
"You're welcome."
The two girls were attempting to left but when they turned around, they didn't notice Momo holding two cups of coffee in her both hands so when the girls turned to leave, Momo intentionally poured the two coffees to the girls. The girls shrieked in surprise and shock.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Momo said as she held the two cups in her hands still. "I didn't notice you there! I thought it's the garbage dump. You look like garbage after all." She declared as she smirked at them.
"Eew… sticky!" one of the girl said.
"What's with you bitch!" the other one said as she attempted to slap Momo but before she could do that, her wrist was held in place, by none other than Hitsugaya Toushirou.
"Will you stop that?" he asked. "I apologized on her behalf." He let go of her wrist and bowed slightly.
"Ah… okay." The girl said.
"Bye." The other one smiled to Toushirou but glared daggers at Momo. "Bitch." She murmured as they went away.
Toushirou turned to his childhood friend with a raised eyebrow. "Why did you do that?"
"What?" Momo asked innocently but that didn't seem to fool Toushirou.
"That! You intentionally drop the coffee at those girls!" Toushirou retorted seriously. "What's with you, Momo? Seriously?"
"I didn't intentionally do that! It's an accident!" she insisted with a pout.
"Momo, tell me," Rangiku approached with a sly smile. "Are you, in any way, jealous of those girls?"
"Ha! And why would I be jealous?"
"Because… you're in love with my little brother." She stated in a matter-of-factly.
Momo froze. "WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE! I'LL NEVER LIKE LET ALONE BE IN LOVE WITH HIM!" she ranted with gritted teeth.
"If that's true, why did you do what you did a while ago?"
"Uh… um… I-I… b-because I-I… ettou…"
"Oh my gosh! Momo! You're stuttering! You are really in love with Toushirou!"
"I told you it's not it!"
"I couldn't believe it Momo's in love with her childhood friend!" Rangiku sang.
"You're really cute together, Momo-chan, Shirou-kun!" Orihime nodded with a grin.
"Yeah yeah. I knew you'd end up together!" Tatsuya seconded.
"Eh? W-Wait! T-That's not—" Toushirou protested but cut off by a loud,
"SHUT UP!"
The three stopped chatting and turned to the red faced fuming Kuchi—er—Shiba Momo.
She ran out of the coffee shop without a word or a single glance. "W-Wait Momo!" Toushirou called out but she was already out of sight.
Rangiku wore a guilty expression. "I think I went too far…"
"Don't worry nee-chan." Toushirou reassured his sister but his gaze was at the glass door where Momo went through. She could tell he was worried.
"I hope she didn't get mad to us." Orihime mumbled worriedly.
Tatsuya nodded. "But, I think she's pissed."
"Yeah, me too. Really really pissed."
The three sighed as Toushirou fixed his gaze at the glass door.
Orihime went to Tokyo for her photo shoot. Because of that, she would not be able to visit the coffee shop for a few days. She left without talking with Ichigo. She thought she needed to give him space.
At Seigaku Gakuen, that day after the outburst of Momo, Toushirou leaned on his desk as his gaze was fixed on the classroom's door. He was waiting for her.
After a few more minutes, he saw her entered the classroom with their other classmate whom he recognized as Shizuki Miru. They were chatting about something funny because they were laughing. He went towards them to greet them and to know if Momo's anger finally subsided.
"Ohayou, Momo, Shizuki-san." He greeted.
"Ohayou, Hitsugaya-kun!" Miru greeted cheerfully.
Momo ignored Toushirou's presence and went straight to her seat. Toushirou followed her.
"Momo, are you still mad at what happened last night?"
"Don't talk to me."
"Momo… they're just kidding last night…"
"I don't care. I said don't talk to me."
"Why are you mad at me?"
The teacher walked inside the room much to Momo's relief and to Toushirou's dismay. He walked to his seat which was at the back right side of Momo's desk. And the class started.
"Where's Momo?" Rukia asked Toushirou as he made his way towards the group alone. Toushirou sighed as he sat down next to his sister. "She ate with few of our classmates."
"Why? Did you have a fight?" Rukia asked.
"Don't tell me it's about last night?" Rangiku questioned in worry.
"Hai I guess so."
"It's my fault." Rangiku lowered her head and sigh guiltily.
Ichigo and Rukia exchanged confused glances. "What happened last night?"
"There are these two girls last night who approached Toushirou saying that they want to create a fan club for him." Tatsuya started.
"OOhhh… pretty famous huh?" Rukia smirked. Ichigo nodded in understanding.
"And then, Momo appeared out of nowhere and intentionally poured the coffee she's holding at the girls."
"Really?" Rukia asked wide eyed. Rangiku nodded.
"And then… we told her that she's jealous that's why she did that and we tease her that she's in love with Toushirou."
"Hmmm… now I understand." Rukia nodded. She then turned to Toushirou with a smile. "Toushirou, don't worry. Momo cannot resist you. There's no way she can keep ignoring you. You are her best friend after all. She just needs time."
"You think so?"
"Yup! Trust me!"
Toushirou smiled. "Okay. Thanks Rukia nee-chan."
"Welcome!"
"But still, we need to apologize." Rangiku said. Toushirou nodded in agreement. "You're right."
And they continued to eat.
The class ended that day and Rukia and Ichigo went down together to the gate of the school to wait for Rangiku who was still cleaning their room. As they reached the door, they heard familiar voices.
"That's Toushirou and Momo…" Rukia whispered. Ichigo saw that she was right. The two friends were standing at the school gates talking or yelling rather.
"Let's hide!" Rukia said as she dragged Ichigo at a nearby tree. "W-Wait!"
They stood still as they spied the two. And they suddenly heard their voices because it was getting louder and louder.
"I hate you! You're a stupid, idiot, bastard and as—" Momo's ranting was cut when Toushirou smashed his lips on hers. The two older teens watched with wide eyes and blushing faces. They glanced at each other but suddenly turned away their red faces.
Momo was shocked. She didn't know that his lips were that… intoxicating… she mentally shook her head.
What am I thinking?
She pushed him away and slapped his face hard and ran away from him.
Rangiku went down the building and saw her friends standing or hiding rather behind a tree. She called out to them. "Oi Ichigo, Rukia! What are you doing there?"
Toushirou snapped his head towards the voice and the two hiding teens showed themselves. They were still blushing. The white haired teen stared at them with eyes wide.
"Did you two saw that?" he asked in disbelief.
The two nodded with flushed face.
"Why? What happened here?" Rangiku asked.
At the coffee shop at that same day, Rangiku heard the story from Toushirou. Since then, she had been ranting about how stupid her brother was.
"Why the hell did you kiss her? Are you out of your mind? Now she won't forgive you! Are you even thinking, Hitsugaya Toushirou!"
"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking nee-chan." He replied slyly.
"What the heck! Toushirou!"
Ichigo and Rukia, who had been looking and listening from the counter table, looked at Toushirou pitifully.
"How about we stop her? Toushirou had enough already." Rukia told Ichigo.
"Let them be." He replied nonchalantly as he sipped Rukia's made iced coffee. "It's his fault anyways."
Rukia wore a worried face. "But…"
"Are you not bothered what he had done to your sister?" Ichigo asked her. Rukia just shrugged.
"I'm not. I think Momo likes it anyway."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I'm her sister of course I'm sure." She smiled which Ichigo returned.
It was almost time for the band performance. Momo was still absent. Rukia called their home and learned that her sister was at home and didn't want to come to perform tonight, to Toushirou's dismay and so the four of them were the only ones who sang that night.
.
Rukia: I'll cry and cry and then forget about it
As the train started, I saw in the window
Myself and this unbearable feeling
Ichigo: There were things that we wouldn't have known
If we hadn't kept talking about them, right?
On the platform at the station
You're still waving
Rangiku: The truth is, I want to come right out
And take this day back
Rukia, Ichigo, Toushirou, Rangiku: The sparkle of those days
Is like a shooting star in summer
But everything doesn't keep going well
Overlooking things won't change anything
The future is so fleeting, it's all right
Toushirou: I think if I could go back in time just a little
I could do it over
But now you're too far away to see
Rangiku: Carrying on like this
Will just cloud my wonderful memories
Ichigo, Rukia: The sparkle of those days
Is like a shooting star in summer
But everything doesn't keep going well
Overlooking things won't change anything
The future is so fleeting, it's all right
Rukia: I thought for sure
That it would pass in the blink of an eye
I know it's too late to have thoughts like this
But I can't go on like this
I'll get off at the next station
All four: The sparkle of those days
Is like a shooting star in summer
But everything doesn't keep going well
Overlooking things won't change anything
The future is so fleeting, it's all right
Momo lay down on her bed in her room. She instinctively touched her lips. She couldn't forget the feeling of his lips on hers. It was a heavenly feeling that she had felt for the first time in her life and she truly loved it.
I think… I really do fell in love with him. When he kissed me, I couldn't deny to myself that my anger at him faded. She sighed as she rolled on her side and closed her eyes.
Maybe… if he apologizes tomorrow… I'll forgive him.
