"I hate you." She said in a gritted whisper while crossing her arms over her chest and sinking into her seat.

"I can't say I wasn't expecting that." He sighed while starting the car and zooming down the rode.

What Money Can't Buy

By Regina Guthrie

Chapter Five

"A Gardeners Death Wish"

Toshiro slowed the car down as they drove through the massively huge gates that led into the front yard of his huge house and closed when the car was fully through. Momo's eyes were halfway shut and her head was plopped up with her hand resting under her chin while her elbow was being supported by the arm rest of the door. Toshiro had noticed her drossiness and had offered to stop so she could lay down in the back seat but she just ignored him and took no notice to his offerings it seemed. He was having second thoughts of taking her to live with him, she wasn't very happy with the arrangement and he felt a little bad for forcing her to come. She had agreed to but only because she knew how much her family needed the money.

Toshiro stopped the car in front of the large mounts of white stairs that led to the glossy brown doors up ahead. Momo sighed aloud as she grabbed her small suitcase and flipped the door open and then shut when she was out. Toshiro fallowed her lead and walked up the massive stairs with her shortly behind. He stopped in front of the doors and waited for her to ketch up.

Before Toshiro pushed the doors open to reveal what laid inside, he turned to Momo and placed his hand out for her suitcase like a gentleman would do. She looked down at it slowly and then snatched her suitcase into her furthest hand from his and snapped her head to look at the doors. Toshiro sighed and let his hand fall while the other pulled on the handle that was gray and had vines carved into the solid material. When the doors were fully open they walked into the large greeting room and Toshiro could have sworn shock flashed through Momo's eyes but he couldn't be positive.

Momo looked around with awe-strucked eyes. The house was gorgeous. in the middle of the huge room that consisted of all white and baby blue pastels was a pure white glossy stair case that led up to a hallway above. There were many doors on the first floor and she could have guessed they led into the main parts of a house and many many more lovely rooms. In the room they were in there were only a few white waiting chairs and book shelves. There were small tables and stands around with vases filled with blue died roses they looked like. On the walls were lovely paintings and pictures that looked priceless. On the floor was an off white rug that stretched from the doors to the beginning of the staircase.

Toshiro waited a second while Momo took in the scenes and then started walking up the stairs. Momo stood behind when it finally hit her that she should fallow. Running to ketch up she almost fell over one of the polished steps. Toshiro chuckled as he looked behind him to find a flushed face of the girl he was determined to win the heart of. When they made it to the second floor Toshiro took a right while Momo fallowed. There were a total of five doors on each side of both walls. He led her to the fourth one on the left side and then stopped. He glanced over to her and pushed the door open while motioning her into the room first. At first Momo didn't move but then she took the few steps to making it through the door. Her breath hitched.

The room was a bedroom set that consisted of Monte Carlo Poster Canopy Bed, nightstand, Dresser with a matching mirror, a jewelry chest, and many other pieces of furniture she hadn't seen before in Silver Snow. (The bedroom set link is on my profile, It's mind blowing, I don't think any of you could picture this room set perfectly without looking at the image, it's beautiful.) Momo took a small step forward as her mouth hung an inch open. Toshiro fallowed behind her and closed the door before leaning half of his back against it.

Everything was silent for a few moments as Toshiro watched Momo stare into space, taking in the small room. Finally she twisted herself to face him and the look on her face was priceless. Toshiro chuckled as he lifted himself from the wall and walked easily over to her stunned figure. He placed his hands softly on her hips and turned her back towards the main part of the room while resting his head on her shoulder. She didn't respond or get angry at him for she was too dazed out for her own good. She hadn't seen anything in the world so beautiful in her existence. Maybe on T.V once or twice but never in real life.

"Is all of this..." Momo whispered out and stopped mid-sentence and inhaled sharply. She was too over took by the rooms appearance that she couldn't even finish her train of thought. Luckily though, Toshiro had a clue of what was supposed to be at the end of her words. He chuckled.

"Of coarse it's yours, even when you leave, if you do, it'll be yours. I didn't just spend all of that cash on it for looks you know." He smirked down at her and kissed her hairline before backing away from her. Momo looked over to him and a scowl overtook her features.

"I'm still mad at you, this didn't change anything." She stated in a growl that only made Toshiro's smirk fade. He sighed and shook his head while her eyes ate away at him.

"I didn't want it any other way, I swear. I take great pleasure in making people hate my guts." He said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"Well, congratulations, you've got another hater." She clapped her hands together with a happy smile then went back to her growling face while moving towards the queen sized bed. Toshiro huffed out air.

"Hating is a sin." He countered watching her take a seat on the bed and sinking down about four inches into the material.

"So, I'm a sinner then." She shrugged trying to pull herself out of the bed that looked like was eating her alive. Toshiro chuckled. "It's no joke, did you know I had a threesome with my worst enemies for money to get into the special writing school I'm in. Now tell me I'm not a sinner." She smirked as his chuckle fell into a serious straight line.

"Your lying." He hissed.

"Try me." She smiled sweetly and rested her head on the many pillows that were in a pattern going down towards the end of the bed but stopped a quarter of the way there. Toshiro smirked at her.

"Your really bad at acting, I've read and researched everything I could about you. I'm surprised you even know the definition of the word 'threesome', i mean your so innocent and..." He was cut off when Momo gasped and pulled her upper body up so she was in a sitting position with her finger pointed at him.

"So your a stalker!" She screamed at him. Toshiro laughed. "That's a sin!" she screamed once more.

"What can I say, I'm a sinner." He smirked at her. Momo breathed out heavily and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Your a cheater! You are no sinner! I am!" She yelled angrily. Toshiro only shook his head.

"Why do you wanna be a sinner?" Toshiro smirked. Momo opened her mouth to say something but then closed it. She looked at him as he chuckled at her and she just growled.

"Ughh!" She said before throwing her face into the pillows and muffling her scream. After a second she lifted her head up and looked at him with a sweet smile. "This is my room right?" She asked sweetly. Toshiro smiled and nodded. "So I have more power in here then i do anywhere else?" She asked with a giggle at the end. Toshiro stopped smiling and rose an eyebrow. He was afraid where this was going but nodded slowly." Then... GET OUT!" She screamed while throwing a pillow at him. His eyes widened while he backed up a little.

"Fine, but don't you leave this room until I come to get you for dinner and then I'll show you the rest of the house that you can travel through. My room is the door in front of yours, you need anything, I'll be there, do you understand?" he said sharply. Momo nodded with a glare and through another pillow at him. Toshiro groaned as he slammed the door.

Two Hours Later

Momo was curled up on her new bed thinking about the conversation she had had with Toshiro. It was pretty silly and she was feeling bad for being overly mean to him and kicking him out of the room he had tried to make perfect in everyway for her. It wasn't like she had meant to be so mean to him, he just brought it out of her. I mean he did take her from her family and then all the other stuff. It wasn't her fault she didn't like him that much.

Finally deciding that she was overly bored of sitting around in this room, she lifted her body up and shuffled her way to the window that was next to the nightstand. She pulled the curtains back and looked down. She gasped when she noticed the beautiful garden in the backyard that was in a glass bubble that allowed you to see through it. It was obviously there to keep the bugs away from the plants. There were all different types of flowers down there she could see. All different colors and shapes. It made her wanna just go down there and see them in person for herself. When that thought came to her mind, her eyes flickered to the bedroom door.

The thought raced through her mind. It was around five and Toshiro would be coming for her soon and if she was caught it might not be that grand. Although he couldn't really do anything to her, it wasn't a risk she would normally take. But of coarse he might take a really long time and not come until three hours later, and she would have enough time to go and come back. He wouldn't be the happiest person if she did go. Then again, who was she to care if he was happy or ticked off? He still made her live there, even when she wasn't very happy about it.

After the few little thoughts ran through her mind she decided to take the risk. It would teach him right. She slowly walked over to the door as though not to make a noise and twisted the doorknob carefully, pushing the door open when the lock of the knob clicked. She peeked her head out and looked around for any sign of anyone. When there wasn't she walked out and shut the door behind her so if he did go by he wouldn't notice the doors position and decide to check on her.

Momo walked down the stairs hurriedly keeping hold of the railing just in case. All her luck she'd fall and make some sort of noise and he'd be right behind her while she tried to gather herself together. Finally reaching it to the floor she raced for the door and started to try to pull it open. To her notice, it was locked. Mostly because of her probably. Toshiro might have wanted to keep her in but that didn't make much since. Why would she run away? There was hardly a reason to. He was helping her family and even though she hated it so much, she would stay there for them.

A few murmurs started to come from one of the doors on the right and they were getting more

hearable and louder. Momo twisted around and leaned against the door as her eyes widened. Boy was she in for it. She shut her eyes as the door creaked open.

"I will talk to you later, I have to get to those rose bushes before it's too late." A chuckle came from a man that hadn't took notice to Momo yet. He was standing in front of the open door talking to one of his fellow workers who just laughed, which sounded as if it was a woman. Her footsteps were getting lighter and lighter until they were gone. But the man was still there watching her leave. Momo peeked through one of her eyelids and saw an elderly man, maybe in his forties shaking his head and staring through the open door. She so could have gotten away if she had tried at the second the door had opened. The man laughed under his breath one more time and closed the door shut. He took a step in the direction of the door Momo was leaning against and then stopped when his eyes laid upon her. He smiled. "Well hello there." He said politely as Momo flinched.

"H-hi." She replied nervously. She didn't know if it would be a good thing to keep quiet about not being allowed to be down there or speak up and ask him not to mention it. He seemed nice at the moment and didn't look like he would give her in. But hey, you can't judge a book by it's cover now can you?

He eyed her up and down for a moment, which she took no notice to, and then replied. "You must be Momo, there's a lot of talk going on about you staying here with Mr. Hitsugaya. Are you two really so much in love that you'd move in with him after a few days?"

Momo almost gagged. she shook her head rapidly. "I hate his guts! He forced me to stay here by offering to help my family out and I couldn't say no! I would never ever love him!" She said a little to loud. The man chuckled.

"Oh, I see, so most of what I've heard isn't true, uh?" Momo nodded angrily. He smiled. "Are you supposed to be trying to go outside? I'm positive the doors are locked to keep you inside." He verified kindly. Momo raised an eyebrow.

"Keep me in? Where would I go! Back home and beg my family to give up having a better life just because i can't stand one to two years with this mad insane guy!? Yea, let me tell you, i'd so do that!" She said sarcastically at the end, skipping over his question as she crossed her arms.

"So your allowed to be out here?" He asked again. Raising an eyebrow at her. Momo thought for a minute on how to answer and then sighed.

"No I'm not, I'm supposed to be in my room until Toshiro comes to get me, but I just wanted to see the garden and that's it." She answered looking away as if she was a guilty child. The man chuckled.

"Thats it? The garden? ha, I could take you there right now if you'd like, I have to go fix up the roses anyway." He smiled warmly. Momo looked at him and her eyes grew bright as she nodded in approval. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of keys as he approached the door. Momo moved from in front and got in back of him as he twisted one of the silver keys into the doorknob. He opened it and led her outside and closed it back shut.

When they had finally made it to the front door of the bubble, he allowed her to enter first and went right after her. Momo kept the lead as she looked around with an astounded face. She couldn't believe how green and healthy all the plants had looked. They were gorgeous. The man stayed behind her all the while taking in her back features. And to his advantage she didn't notice.

Momo giggled and ran over to the farther left corner of the garden and got on her knees infront of a beautiful bush of white roses that had red specks on them. Her breath hitched. They were remarkable. She reached her hand out and stroked one of the petals as she breathed out heavily. The man was right behind her at that point. He squatted down behind her and looked over his shoulder. "There gorgeous." Momo whispered an in out-of-breath tone. He chuckled and placed his hands on her hips causing her to jump slightly.

"Not as gorgeous as you, my dear." He breathed into her ear as he bit it lightly. Momo squeaked and took notice to what was accruing. She tried to pull away but he only tightened his hold on her. He then stood her up with his arms still wrapped tightly around as she began to squirmed in his hold. He started to pick her up when she kicked him in the shin, not on purpose but she was glad. His grip on her loosened and she almost got free until he took his hand as, with as much force as he could muster, swung at her head. Causing her to stop struggling and grip her head with both hands. Tears started to stain her face as his lips trailed kisses up and down her neck. Her body was shaking and her breathing was heavy.

"S..s...stop it!" She screamed as she started to act crazy again. It wasn't any use though, she was too weak and he had more power. Once again he held her tightly with her back aginst him as he pulled her along through the garden. Even though her feet were dragging and she refused to walk, he still kept going until they were in the way back of the whole garden. Momo's cries became louder as she tossed her body all around, trying to get free.

"Momo, I'm warning you, stop this now or you won't be happy with the results. No one can hear you, we're in a sound proof garden, sweet heart." He whispered as he laid her down on the ground and climbed on top of her. She started to kick and cry louder, ignoring his words. Finally his frustration went over the top and he took his hand and slapped her hard across the cheek. More tears spilled out of the corners of her eyes as he chuckled and laid a kiss on her sore cheek. Her body went numb and her will to move became distant. She just wished she would loose conciseness instead of watch what he had planed. But that wasn't looking like a success. He started to kiss her neck again nipping every once and a while. Momo just whimpered in fear as she wished she had just listened to Toshiro.

His hands started to slide up her legs until they reached her thigh where they started to make small circles while moving up slowly. Momo started to cry harder as his lips met hers in a hard bruising kiss that hurt. She whimpered again as his tongue pushed through her lips and into her mouth. She thought about bighting down but what would that do. He'd only hit her again and even if he did move off her for a moment, she couldn't feel her body enough to move. Her eyes closed and tried to think of something besides all that was happening.

She felt the ground have a small pounding noise coming from it as it got louder and louder. Finally the man had drawn back and got off of her as he said something that Momo could hardly make out. "It's not what it seems" is what she thought she had heard. But she couldn't be curtain. The man let out a harsh yell as the sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed through the room.

"Don't you ever touch her again!" Was the last thing she remembered before everything went dark.
