"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.

Momo glance out the window as the tree's and landscapes became blurred into many pastels. She wasn't sure where they were. They had already traveled way father then she had ever gone from her home. Although she wasn't complaining. The view was overly gorgeous, unlike anything she had seen in years. Unlike the city, the ground wasn't covered with man-made substances, it was all natural and had such a pretty view of the sky. The sun was setting, making breathtaking colors overtake the skies beauty. She hadn't noticed how late it had been until then. She glanced over to her side until Toshiro came into her view.

"Where are we going?" She whispered softly. He seemed as though he was snapped back into reality, which made her worry. If he was out of it, did he even know where he was going? Toshiro looked over to her and then back at the rode.

"If I told you that it would ruin the surprise." He simply answered with a half of a smile. Momo just shrugged her shoulders with a sigh. She wasn't in the mood to argue. She was actually quit worn out and just wanted to go home. She leaned back into the seat and shifted until she was in a comfortable state. Crossing her arms across her chest she let her eyelids slip down revealing nothing but darkness which over took her into a deep peaceful sleep.

Toshiro took a left after a while and entered a new city. It was already dark out and around nine. It had took them a good few hours to get to this small peaceful town. Lights lit up the streets as they drove past building after building. Finally he pulled up to a small restraint placed in the middle of the whole place. He pulled into the parking spot received for him and twisted the key until the engine purred down to a silence. He leaned further back in his seat and sighed. Toshiro looked over to his side, about to say something but then stopped when he laid his eyes on the sleeping beauty before him. She was absolutely outrageously beautiful. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her sleep soundly. For some reason he couldn't seem to wake such a lovely girl. It was beyond him why he just wanted her and no one else. There were a lot more that would come easily. But she was the pick of the crowd. Something was different about her that he couldn't explain.

Finally he mustered up enough courage to reach over and lay his hand softly on her shoulder. He started to shake her shoulder gently so not to harm her. "Momo, sweet heart, we're here." He whispered. She fluttered her eyes halfway open, then only moaned tiredly and closed them again.

"It's too late to play baseball." She groaned out as she turned her body to the other side in order to keep him from waking her anymore. Toshiro only chuckled as he ran his fingers through her hair. She was too tired to actually react and pull away so she let it slip as she sighed inwardly.

"We aren't playing baseball, angel. Now come on, get up or we'll loose our table." He said softly with a smile. Momo slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes before taking in there surroundings. When laying eyes on the building in front of her she gasped. It looked stunning. Too stunning for words. The clear windows were in panels in shapes of diamonds and glittered even in the night. The outside was painted a pearl white color with a fragile looking glass door. She could only stare as Toshiro watched her amused. "We can go in anytime you want." He pointed out to her. She finally took her eyes away and started to open the car door with a small blush of embarrassment spred across her cheeks. Toshiro only laughed as he too climbed out of the car.

"I thought we were playing baseball." Momo stated as they walked up to the entrance. Toshiro only let a grin take over his features. Momo looked over towards him and shook her head.

"You really took that seriously?" He asked pressing his lips tightly together, trying to keep from laughing. She looked up at him and nodded slowly, feeling a little embarrassed again. "Come on, what kind of guy would take a girl to play baseball... on there birthday?" He couldn't help but chuckle a little at the thought. He wasn't that much out of place to do something like that. Momo didn't reply as they walked up to the counter. Toshiro gave his name to the employee in back and she had someone show them to there seats. They were seated in one of the front tables. Momo noticed that all the front tables were way different then the back ones. Unlike the back ones, the front ones had white clothes draped across the table with a beautiful, priceless vase with red roses. But there table was different, the settings were switched around. The cloth was red and the roses were a beautiful white color.

"Wow" Momo breathed out as she took a seat across from Toshiro, who could only laugh slightly at her. The waiter came soon after and took there orders. Toshiro had ordered what he had usually ordered when he had come to the place, while Momo took the same, not being able to understand what the dishes were anyway.

"You like to write poetry, right?" Toshiro asked out of the midst of silence. Momo looked up at him and connected eyes with him. She nodded slightly before fiddling with her fingers under the table. "I read some of them from your book, I hope you don't mind that. They were actually really great. Ever thought of getting them published?" Toshiro questioned trying to start some type of conversation between the two.

"I was thinking about it, but it won't happen." She answered with a sad sigh. She looked down at her lap.

"Why? Is there something wrong with them?" He asked a little confused. Momo looked up at him again but back down. She opened her mouth a few times in order to get something out but closed it every time. At first Toshiro was clueless of her actions but then picked up on it. He only sighed causing Momo to stop her tempt of saying something. "Ask me to help you Momo." She looked stunned at his action to command her to do something.

"W...what?" She rose an eyebrow at his command. Toshiro shrugged and sat back. He crossed his arms over his chest and sighed deeply.

"You heard me, I can help you get them out into the world, if you ask me. So ask me." He explained himself. Momo looked at him dumbfounded before she glared in his direction.

"I don't need your help, what makes you think I nee..." Momo stopped and thought for a minute. Then reality hit her with full force. Her glare became sharper and bit her lip before exploding. "You think I can't do it because of the money shortage don't you?!" She hissed as she slammed her hands onto the table. Toshiro only shrugged and waited for her to continue. "Well you know what?! That's not the problem and I don't need your help with anything. I shouldn't have even come with you but I did and now you think you have the right to act like your oh so high and mighty just because you have the ability to do something!" Momo was practically yelling at that point. People around them were glancing towards them every few seconds because of the commotion but that didn't really matter to them. Toshiro sighed and sat up straight. He opened his mouth to say something; to object but Momo put a finger up to stop him. "I need to go to the bathroom, what ever you have to say can wait til I come back." Momo fumed. She stood up quickly as she turned to the right and started to storm off.

"Other way." Toshiro chuckled as he pointed to the left. Momo spun around and gave him a look before retreating. Toshiro watched her stomp away until she turned the corner and was out of sight. He sighed and looked around, meeting with a few extra eyes on him. "Enjoying the show?" He asked them all with a glare of his own. Everyone turned back to there plates as he sat back and waited for her to return.

Momo Walked out of the bathroom cursing under her breath as she walked down the hall. She couldn't begin the explain how much she wanted to just go home but of Corse Toshiro would make her stay until the whole thing was over. And she couldn't make a run for it, she had to pass him to get to the exit. "Selfish jerk." She whispered under her breath as she passed a framed paper on her right. Suddenly she stopped walking and turned around. She ran up to the paper as a smile over took her features. It was a map of the whole building and to her luck there was another way out... through the kitchen. Which she had to pass to get to the bathroom. Which meant she could just ditch Toshiro and leave by herself. "I'll show him who has power." She smirked as she walked forward.

Momo approached the kitchen doors after a while and couldn't help but do a victory dance in her mind even though she wasn't out yet. She reached out and pulled one of the double doors open only to only be knocked over by a woman running out. She was a little overly hyper with her black hair in a bun. Her eyes were glistening with joy for some odd reason. But when her eyes laid on Momo she stopped and smiled. "Oh, I'm so glad your here. You must be the new waitress right? I thought you were supposed to start tomorrow?" She asked raising an eyebrow. Momo opened her mouth to object but couldn't as the girl continued. "Oh well. Hey since your already here, I have an emergency. You can take over my shift and get the hours okay?" Momo tried to say something but it was smothered when the woman through the waitress apron at her. "Thank you!" She shouted as she was already out the door. Momo sighed and looked down at the cloth.

"Great, Now by the time I give this back Toshiro will be looking for me, I'm never gonna get out of here." She sighed angrily as she was about to stomp her foot but was interrupted with a sound from behind. She turned around to meet with a very big man. He had two plates of food in his hands.

"What are you doing just standing around like that, we are very busy tonight, people are waiting." He scolded. Once again Momo was about to object when the man pushed the two plates towards her. "Don't keep our guests waiting. Take these plates to table six." He commanded. Momo took the plates from him and desperately tried to get him to listen to her but he was already gone. Momo groaned as she stomped her feet like a child and made some noises from aggravation before continuing to walk to the tables.

"I'll just drop these off at table six and then be on my way. This won't take long." She tried to convince herself. But for some reason she couldn't help but want to hit something or someone. When she entered the main room she looked around all the tables. None of them were labeled, just her luck. She looked around one more time before deciding to just guess. She counted out six table starting from the back and then made her way to the selected one. Luckily Toshiro was in the way front so she could get away with it. She approached the table and set the two plates in front of the couple. Quickly she turned around to leave but then was stopped.

"Excuse me, This wasn't our order." He said meanly. Momo groaned before turning towards him with a smile.

"Sorry sir, we were all out of your order." She lied through her teeth while turning around again.

"Well we do not want these. I suggest you take them back before I complain to your boss." He said sharply glaring towards her. Momo frowned and shot the glare back at him.

"I can't do that sir, I'm in a hurry, I'll get someone to be with you in a few minutes so please." She explained as she turned around for the third time. She started to walk off when the man grabbed her by the arm. Momo twirled around and shot him a look.

"Take them back I said. Do you dare not listen to me?" He said frustrated. Momo only crossed her arms across her chest and nodded not trusting her mouth at the moment. The man only got more angry. "Well I should tell you that you have no right to treat us like that, ma'am. We are some of your best customers so I suggest you stop acting like this and be a good waitress while acting like one." He commented. Momo uncrossed her arms and stared harshly at him. Then sighed and softened her look.

"I'm so sorry sir." She apologized as she reached out for the plates. The man smirked as he sat up with pride.

Toshiro turned his head in the direction where the bathrooms were but didn't see her making him worry. Suddenly he looked around and laid eyes on her over by a table in the back corner. She was in a waitress apron with two plates and an overly evil smirk on her face. Toshiro's eyes widened as he tried to run over to her before she did something they both would regret. Halfway there he slowed down as he watched Momo smash the two plates of food into the guys face.

"How's that for a good waitress? Lets get one thing straight, sir. No one orders me around you got that!?" She fumed. By this point Toshiro was right behind her with shock written all over his face, matching the guy at the tables. Momo giggled softly with triumph but stiffened when Toshiro grabbed her by the wrist and forcefully twirled her to face him.

"Momo Hinamori! What on earth do you think your doing?!" Toshiro scolded as he glanced to the guy but back towards Momo. She only glared at him and stuck her tongue out in a childish way.

"Trying a new dish design. Like it?" Momo pointed at the man with sauce dripping down his face and off his chin. Toshiro only growled as he tightened his hold on her wrist to show he didn't find any of it as funny as she did.

"I don't think you understand what you have just done, Momo! What's wrong with you!?" Toshiro yelled. Momo only frowned and yanked her arm away from him. Everyone in the place was watching them. Who wouldn't be after all the commotion they had caused.

"Your not my mother, Toshiro therefore I owe you no explanation." She simply stated as she walked away from him and towards the exit. Toshiro apologized to the man and paid for the mess and the dinner before walking out to his car where Momo was sitting on the ground next to it. Her eyes were closed with her head rested on the side of the car. He wanted more then anything to yell and act like a crazy person on her for the mess she had just caused but he couldn't bring himself to do it. She was just so peaceful looking at the moment. He sighed inwardly as he walked over to her small form and sat next to her. Momo opened her eyes slightly as she peaked over towards him. "I'm sorry." She mumbled angrily as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I should learn how to control my anger, now can you take me home?" She asked. Toshiro turned his head and looked over at her.

"Momo, do us all a favor and do not become a waitress, it'll be hell." He stated with a sigh. Momo couldn't resist but laugh at his statement. Toshiro smiled at the sound of her laugh before standing up. He reached down and offered Momo his hand which she excepted. "Let's get you home."

Okay. This story was supposed to be updated a few hours ago but when I was writing it I couldn't come up with a way to put one of the parts. So I closed my eyes and started to think and when I reopened them my mom was telling me I had an hour to get ready for my brothers party, so I had fallen asleep. I've noticed I've had trouble writing lately because of that, I haven't had more then five hours of sleep out of the last three days and I am overly tired that may be why this chapter turned out horrible and I apologize for that. I will not update this again until I have at least one of my other stories updated. Also in a few days I'm going to my cousins house and staying for three days so I will not be updating around that time because of it but I hope to get two or three more updates before then, but not all from this story. Actually, I would like you all to know that if it wasn't for Merciless Ruby, She bugged the chapter out of me, so that's why it was updated lol. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review! )
