"Ever heard the saying 'love has no age limit'?" He asked as he stopped the car at her apartment building. She opened the door and climbed out. She turned around, about to close the door but answered first.

"There has to be love for there to be no age involved with that saying, think about that." She said before closing his car door. Toshiro watched as she ran into the building as the rain crashed down on her. He sighed heavily as he leaned back and closed his eyes.

He had everything in the world, anything he wanted he could have. But now what he wanted more then anything, had just ran away from him. There were many fish in the sea he remembered his friend say before.

"Ya, but only one penguin." He murmured to himself as he started the car.

..:Chapter Two:..

..:I Want You To Be My Angel:..

Toshiro scanned the computer screen as he searched through file to file looking for information on the angel he had met at the beach, Momo. Ever since he had tooken her home she hadn't left his mind. He clicked on another file and read through it, not being what he was looking for, he clicked the back button and scanned through the list again. He had been looking for information about her for hours and his eyes were a little blood shot from lack of sleep. He was looking for some kind of information that would give him another shot at her. He had already contacted a few of his friends and explained everything to them, a good amount of them said they would see what they could find out about the Hinamori family. Most of them had already called back and gave little details that wouldn't help while others had called saying they couldn't find anything. All in all, there was only one person left that hadn't called back and canceled. He was his best friend and Toshiro had to admit he could get anything done. At the least he would give a little something that would give him a chance to see her one more time, at the most he would come up with some way to actually get her with him in the next twenty-four hours, he was just that good at this stuff.

Toshiro sighed as he stretched back into his chair as he rubbed his temples. Never in his life had he had such a hard time finding information about a single person. Although she was just your average school girl. He hadn't really ever tried looking up someone so... small in the world. So of Corse he was having trouble. Toshiro went to pick up the phone when it started ringing. "About time." He mumbled as he picked it up off the hook and pressed it against his ear. "What'd you find out?" He asked tapping his fingers on the desk.

"Well, besides she's really young, Toshiro, which you did say there was an age difference but I was expecting a year not three!" Ichigo yelled into the phone. "That doesn't make you look that great, dude. She's a child compared to you." Ichigo said in a disapproving tone.

"When did I say I care what does and doesn't make me look good. And you act like I'm old enough to be her father, three years isn't that much of a difference." He said coolly as if it was nothing and every normal couple was three years apart.

"I don't know, Toshiro, now if she was twenty and you were twenty three, it wouldn't look as bad as when your twenty and she's only a seventeen year old school girl." Ichigo explained.

"Of Corse it wouldn't, even though it's the same time distance. Now would you please stop acting like my mother, at least she's not seven years younger, now what else did you find out?" Toshiro asked agitatedly.

"Okay, well, her family is really pore and needs money bad." He explained dropping the subject about there age differences.

"Her mother can't keep a job because of the grandfather, forcing them to only have enough money to live in that ratty apartment building on three fourteen." Toshiro finished. "She told me that much" He said.

"Did you know they aren't paying to live there, the owner is her mothers friend and lets her stay there for free, there on food stamps big time and I've never seen anyone in such a condition in my life." Ichigo explained. He sure was good, it would have tooken Toshiro forever to figure that out.

"Wow, she's got it bad." Toshiro sighed out as he closed his eyes. "What else?"

"Not much, Her birthday is in a good three days, she goes to some kind of summer school for writing. Which I wouldn't have thought to look for her name in until you told me what she was doing when you saw her. Her father left when she was seven and she had lived in foster care afterwards until she was nine and her mother got custody. That's all I have so far." He explained.

"So, she's been through hell, is what your saying and it's still like that, huh?" He asked reopening his eyes and getting back to the keyboard on his computer. He opened his calendar and highlighted the day of her birthday.

"Ya, and you'd think someone like that would look for attention, they always do, but not her, from her files she's a perfect kid and she's never made one wrong move. She's never been to any huge parties or anything that most teenagers go to. No one even has the slightest clue when her birthday is, do you know how hard it was for me to figure it out?" He said with a sigh. Toshiro smirked and started to write in the highlighted box.

"What are the chances you can get me hooked up to go to her writing school on her birthday to play a few songs, a few sneak peaks of the albums coming out? Maybe a new one just for her?" Toshiro asked with an even wider smirk. That was a really good idea and if he could nail it, he'd have a reason to get to her again.

"Call me a God, I already did. I have you hooked up for one twelve after second lunch." Ichigo chuckled, obviously very proud of himself. Toshiro laughed at his statement and then shook his head. "So you think you can come up with a hit in three days for her?" Toshiro smirked.

"Are you kidding, I could do it in an hour for her, the words are already coming to me." Toshiro joked. Ichigo only laughed before hanging up the phone. Toshiro hung his phone up as well. He reached out and pushed the small button to turn the computer off and stood up. He stretched for a minute and then walked to the corner of the room. There was a wooden guitar in the corner painted white with black strings. He gently picked it off the ground and took a seat in a small stool not to far away from his desk. "Let's get this started." He whispered as he started to move his fingers across the strings.

..:Three days later:..

"Momo! Hey!" A voice came from behind the unhappy teen. Momo turned around slightly to see a girl with brown hair and crystal blue eyes running to her side. She smiled softly and waited in place until the girl was by her side panting for breath. "I forgot to tell you 'happy birthday' this morning, so happy birthday!" She shrieked and then giggled. Momo frowned and shook her head.

"I told you not to say that here, you know no one knows about it, Kari, and I don't want them to find out." She whispered in a scowling voice. Her head was down slightly. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a small piece of hair curled on both sides. She wore a jean skirt that had faded yellow colors in the front and back with a yellow shirt with two white wings in the middle, along with white flip-flops. Kari only giggled and put her hands on her hips with a cheesy grin plastered on her face.

"Ya, ya, I don't get why you act like that, you act as if you don't want people to know your here." She pointed out with a sigh. Momo only moved her books from her side to the front of her chest and wrapped her arms around them, putting her head down further. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to defend you." Kari whispered as she put her hand on Momo's shoulder. Momo only shook her head again.

"You didn't, I just don't want attention from people, I heard it's like a drug, if you get to much, you can't stop trying to get more." She whispered with a giggle. Kari looked at her strangely and then started to laugh with her.

"Well, sometimes a little isn't all that bad for you, you know." Kari admitted patting Momo's shoulder before withdrawing it. "And I think we might want to get to class." She said glancing up at the clock. Momo nodded with a smile as they started to walk with each other to there next class.

Momo and Kari entered the class room two minutes early and took there seats, which were across from each other. There teacher looked up at them for a second and then back to his book that he was reading at his desk. Momo noticed every few seconds he'd look up and then back down. She also noticed that there should have been more students in the class room by now besides just her and Kari. "You ladies aren't going to that concert thing in the gym?" He asked out of the blue, snapping Momo out of her thoughts.

"What concert?" Kari asked looking confused as she rose an eyebrow. Momo looked at him the same way. The teacher just sighed and shook his head.

"All I know is that there's a concert thing in the gym, I think it already started so if you guys hurry, you might catch the last two songs, I know he was only playing four today." He explained shrugging his shoulders and looking back down at his paper.

"Oh cool! C'mon Momo! Lets go!" She screeched as she literally jumped out of her seat and took Momo with her. Without letting Momo even get out an 'okay' they were out the door and running down the hall. "I can't believe we didn't hear about it! We missed half of it already! That sucks!" She babbled on and on as Momo just concentrated on not falling over anything on there way. They were outside the building in a matter of seconds and almost at the gym. Momo looked down at the ground as Kari still was pulling her by her wrist.

'Who would wanna do a deal at our school? It's one of the worst.' Momo asked herself suspiciously. All of a sudden she slammed into something hard. She pulled away from Kari's back as she looked up. They were already in front of the gym. The doors were closed and the screams were still enough to turn someone death.

"Oh wow, Momo! This guy must be the real deal! Do you hear them, there all going wild... lets go join them!" Kari shrieked again as she wasted no time again and pulled Momo through the doors. When they were inside, she took her hands back from Kari and covered her ears. The sounds were enough to make her deaf. They died out eventually and everything was quite as some were whispering. Kari was trying desperately to see over all the people while Momo just watched her. She really didn't have any interest in this whole thing. If it wasn't for Kari she'd be waiting in the class room with the teacher. The crowd started to move around a little and say stuff about why he stopped and they could have sworn there was another song. Momo looked down at her feet and sighed. They must have really missed it. All of a sudden Kari shrieked for the hundredth time that day. Everyone looked at her but she paid no mind and turned to Momo. "Do you know who that is, Momo!?" She squeaked loudly sending echoes through the gym. Momo slowly moved to Kari's side and looked up to where she was pointing. Momo's eyes widened when they met with the singers. A smirk crossed his face as she looked down with a frown on her face.

"Ya, my worst nightmare." Momo murmured as she hid her eyes with her bangs. Kari stared at her confused and then giggled. Everyone had already turned there attention back to the guy at the stage.

"I think our guest of honor has finally arrived." Toshiro spoke into the microphone as a smirk crossed his features. Momo's head shot up and glared straight into his gaze. He only smiled widely at her and raised a hand up, stretching it out in her direction. "Momo Hinamori, would you like to come up here for a moment?" He called out to her. Her glare only grew as she shook her head.

"I'd rather not, Mr. Hitsugaya." She scowled. Everyone turned to look at her. Their gazes were indicating that they thought she was overly crazy. Even Kari stared at her like she was on something. Momo only crossed her arms across her chest and frowned. Toshiro sighed but then chuckled into the microphone causing everyone to look back at him. He reached down beside his stool he was sitting on and came up with a baby blue book. Momo's eyes widened as she noticed it was the book she had forgotten in his car.

"You left this in my car, I thought that you might have wanted it back. I realized what I had said to you was wrong, and you were right, there has to be love to be no such thing as an age limit. What I should have asked is 'do you believe in love at first site?' It was a more reasonable question." He smirked as he reached out to her with the book in his hand, telling her to come get it. Momo shifted on her feet a few times as she thought but then decided that she really wanted that book back, it meant too much to her to leave with him again. She walked through the crowd as they moved to the sides. She finally made it up to him and reached out to take her book back but he pulled away. "Come with me, after the end of this concert? I'll teach you how to play baseball." He said with a low chuckle under his breath. The students around them were real quiet as they listened.

"You really trust me with a bat around you? I can't promise I won't hit you on purpose." She stated with a straight face. A few chuckles were heard in the audience along with a few whispered. Toshiro laughed out loud and shook his head.

"I'll ware a helmet, my little angel." He stated with a smile plastered on his face. Momo sighed and murmured a 'fine' under her breath.

"I'll go with you but don't call me your little angel." She scowled again. He only chuckled and nodded. He went to hand her the book but when she reached out, he pulled it away again. He shook his head and patted the seat next to him. Momo shook her head only for him to nod his head afterwards. She reached for the book again but he pulled it more out of her reach and then pointed at the seat. Momo glared at him before taking a seat next to him. He smiled in triumph.

"Now I have one more song, it won't be available and it's possible this might be the first and last time you all here it." There were some heavy sighs in the crowd but Toshiro ignored them and looked over towards Momo. He reached behind his back while keeping eye contact with her and pulled out a red rose from his back pocket. He handed it to her and she took it from him. Toshiro only smirked as her cheeks turned a slight pink. "Happy birthday Momo." He whispered but into the microphone so everyone would here him. Momo looked at him shocked. No one had known when her birthday was only a few family members and friends. Which he was clearly neither. "I wrote this song for you, three days ago." He thought for a second before adding. "It took two days and a half actually, but I started it three days ago." He finished. A few 'awe's were heard while annoyed sighs were also heard. Momo looked down at her lap as Toshiro started to play the guitar in his lap, suddenly he started singing the words.

I saw you once before

on a rock near the sea shore

You were nothing more

then a normal school-girl

But even though that was the fact

I could tell something from that moment

you were the most beautiful creature to the core

Which made me cherish those seconds even more

He stopped singing for a minute, letting his fingers run across the strings. He noticed this song was different then the others he had played, he had everyone caught up with it in his crowd, unlike the other songs there wasn't one whisper heard in the silence. The choruswas about to be played as he looked over to the girl that had inspired the song. He twisted his body around so that he was facing her.

i want you to be my angel

it's a once in a life time chance

don't be stubborn, take it

before you throw a fit

I'll hold you tighter every time

no matter how much you decline

You'll be my world, my everything

come on and be my angel

He stopped again, letting his fingers take the lead for a minute. The sounds coming from the guitar got softer but rose a little and then softened. Momo watched his fingers as they moved gracefully across the strings. As she was caught up in them, he was caught up in her, making no note of the people around. He opened his mouth and started to sing again and Momo glanced up at him.

Your hair glitters and your eyes shine

out to set the world blind

To capture there hearts

you are that grand

to leave no one at a single stand

He waited once again as Momo smiled down at her lap. Her cheeks started to turn redder and redder. She never liked being in the spot light but this was different, all eyes were on her and Toshiro but she didn't really notice. She couldn't help but think how weird it was.

i want you to be my angel

it's a once in a life time chance

don't be stubborn, take it

before you throw a fit

I'll hold you tighter every time

no matter how much you decline

You'll be my world, my everything

come on and be my angel (my angel)

His fingers grew at a slowly pace for the next part. Momo took a glance at the people around them and noticed they were all awe struck.

I could take a glance of your face

and make the whole world full of grace

hold your hand through it all

I'll make you happy 'til our last call

He took a breath and paused for a good three seconds before saying the next part. The music started to increase and become louder as his fingers were moving extremely fast across the strings. Momo watched in amazement as her eyes flickered from Toshiro's to his fingers a few times.

can't you see...

He took a second to stop playing the guitar to play that one line then started back up for the chorus.

i want you to be my angel

it's a once in a life time chance

don't be stubborn, take it

before you throw a fit

I'll hold you tighter every time

no matter how much you decline

You'll be my world, my everything

come on and be my angel

(come on and be my angel)

He picked up the volume again and his voice raised. Momo glanced up into his eyes and he caught them as he started to sing again.

If you were mine

I'd hold you tight

If everything crashed it would be fine

As long as I have you by my side

I want you to spread your wings and fly

into my arms where you will stay

until the moon fades away

I want you to be my angel

Momo smiled widely. No matter how much she didn't want to, she couldn't help it. That song was just to amazing in her eyes and it was for her and her only. No one had ever done something like that for her. Toshiro smiled lightly from her happy looking face. Everyone started to cheer and cheer. It was a lot louder then it was when Momo had first came in. She brought her hands back up to her ears and cupped them. Toshiro only laughed at her action.

"Still thinking about hitting me with that baseball bat?" he screamed over the crowd with a sloppy grin on his face. Momo only laughed at him and looked into his eyes.

"I'm still thinking about it, I think I like you a little more right now but I'm sure my hatred will come back when I get it in my hands and realize how much better it would be to hit you with it then to like you and not get the chance." She joked. Toshiro only laughed at her and put her book in her hands.

"Now I think you said you'd be joining me after this was over?" He asked as he stood up and extended his hand out. Momo smiled up at him and grabbed it.

I WROTE THAT SONG HE SUNG! lol. I just had to tell you all cause if any of you are like me, you'll go looking for it on youtube or something lol. I decided to try to write it cause i thought it would be cool to use your own song then someone else's. I thought it would be hard but actually it was just like writing one of my poems with a chorus, only took me fifteen minutes so it's not the best but it came out okay I think. Well I know that at the end of this she was nice to him and stuff but it doesn't stay that way for long, this story is going to have fluff in it but this story is supposed to be teaching two lessons and so it will. There are going to be a lot of fights in it between the two and some pretty whacked up stuff Momo does to pure Toshiro (like the little joke about the bat, which I'm still trying to decide if I want her to hit him with the bat.) Kari is my friends OC and she is supposed to look at act just like that one in my other story. But she belongs to Jessica and I just like to use her now cause Jessica asked me too, so there she is, staring in my fanfictions! lol. Well please review!
