Author's note: Here's the next update for The Art of Thievery. I'm very sorry for how late it is, but I finally got to it. Everything's been hectic lately, but I'll try to update at least a couple times a week.

Chapter 3: Decisions
"What?"
"It's exactly as I said. They're demanding us to pay."
"How can we possibly come up with that much money in such a short amount of time?" Momo asked with anger.
"I don't know…your father's considering the option of just letting her go. The chances of the operation being a success are slim to none…and I want you to stop."
"To stop and just let her go! We can't just let her go! There's still a chance the operation could be a success, mom!"
"Momo, think about it. What could you possibly do now? At the rate you're going, we'll never get enough money. Your grandmother is suffering as we speak, Momo! This isn't a game!"
"I know it's not, but I can still pull it off! I just have to go after a bigger source!"
"The bigger the source, the more dangerous!"
"Mom, just let me do it!"
"MOMO-" She was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.
"I'm going out now, and I'm going to get the money, whether you like it or not!"
"We'll continue this when you return home!" She scolded angrily before going into the kitchen. Momo had worked so hard, at school, at home, and even on her heists. She deserved some time to herself, but her mother didn't know what to do about this problem. Putting her head onto her arms, she fell asleep, with the stress lifted, if only for a moment.
"Good morning, Hitsugaya-kun."
"Morning, Bedwetter." He said before messing up her hair and giving a swift kiss to the lips. Blushing with the color of a cherry, she put laid her head upon his shoulder. "What should we do today?" She whispered charmingly into his ear.
He took a moment to appreciate the scent wafting towards him. "Hitsugaya-kun?" She whispered playfully, bring him back down to earth. "Oh…yea. I was going to take you to the carnival." Still in a haze of passion, he stumbled a bit as he walked off alongside Momo to the car.
Taking the quickest route to the carnival, Hitsugaya took notice of Momo's depressed-looking expression. "Momo, what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing. We're going to the carnival, aren't we."
Hitsugaya sighed and immediately stopped the car. "I'm not going to drive until you tell me the truth Momo."
"Tell you the truth?" Now was the opportune moment to tell Hitsugaya everything. The truth. Would it be the right choice to dump all of this on Hitsugaya?
"Hitsugaya-kun…"
Author's note: Ok, so there we have it. What should Momo do? I already have an idea, but I'm not completely sure. If you guys have any suggestions, please tell me. I'll update when I reach 33 reviews.
