Sorry it took so long to put this chapter out….I just started school :((( Yuck. Well hope ya like it!
Momo, who was peaking (and blushing about the 'marry' part I may add), was stunned. At first she didn't really believe that they were actual vampires, but this now proved it. What else was out there that were 'fairytales'?
"Ah…Momo!"
Suddenly, Toushiro's mother appeared right before Momo.
"Don't be shy dear! Come and join us!"
Momo blinked a couple of times from her sudden movement, and then smiled. "Alright, thank you." Toushiro's mother wrapped her arm around Momo and they were back at the table. Toushiro turned around in his seat and looked up at Momo.
"Good morning Momo."
"M-morning."
"Shiro-chan!"
His mother came over to him and hit him straight on the head. Toushiro cringed a bit from the sudden pain and grabbed his head with his hands, and then he glared up at his mother. "What the hell was that for!?"
His mother giggled.
"Now, now Shiro-chan, no need to use such fowl language."
Momo suddenly giggled. Everyone looked at her with confused expressions, but she kept giggling.
"What the hell is so funny?" Toushiro asked after a long moment of her giggles.
She looked up at him and smiled, a little giggle escaping her mouth as she said, "Shiro-chan."
Toushiro eyes widened and he let out a growl. "Ugh! Not you too!"
Momo laughed lightly and then looked at the grand clock against the wall.
"Ah! Shiro-chan! We're gonna be late for school!"
Toushiro got up, calmly like he always does, and walked over to Momo. He said "Follow me" and then walked past her to the door. Momo obediently followed and the both exited the large house. "How are we going to make it Shiro-chan?" Toushiro winced in anger at that bloody nickname, but then soon ignored it. He then turned to her and smirked. She looked up at him and tilted her head to the side. He then grabbed her hand and lifted it up to be the same level as her face, intertwining his fingers with hers.
He leaned closer to her face with that same smirk on, keeping their hands together. He was then about an inch away from her face, where he glanced down at her lips, then back to her eyes.
"You trust me right?" He whispered to her.
Momo had a faint blush on her face from how close he was from her. But she still tried to keep her cool.
"With my life." She whispered back. He smirked even more and then suddenly, picked her up bridal style.
"That's good. Than hold on tight!"
"Wha-"
And with that, Toushiro leaped off the ground and landed on a tree. He jumped from tree to tree, still cradling Momo in his arms. Momo tensed up, grabbing his shirt and pulling herself closer to him.
"Don't worry Momo, I've got you."
Momo loosened up and Toushiro smirked triumphantly.
X-x-x-x-x-x
They finally reached the school, and just in time to. The bell rang right when they walked through the door.
"Momo!" Rukia yelled as she ran down the hall, waving at Momo. Momo smiled brightly and waved back, grabbing Toushiro's hand and pulling him with her towards Rukia. "I see you have a new friend?" Rukia said with a smirk, signaling down at the connected hands with her eyes. Toushiro and Momo both looked down at their hands and then quickly pulled them apart, Momo blushing and Toushiro coughing.
"Have you guys known each other for a while?" Rukia asked in curiosity
Momo shook her head. "No, we just met."
Toushiro looked away sadly. So she truly does forget.
Momo thought it was a little weird. She felt such a strong connection to Toushiro, like they've known each other for a millennium. Yet, she doesn't remember ever meeting him in her life.
"Momo, we should probably get to class." Rukia said, cutting through the silence. Momo nodded. All three of them had science next, and they were doing some kind of lab where they dissected a frog. Yuck.
X-x-x-x-x-x
"Okay class! We'll be dissecting frogs today, so everyone pick a partner."
Suddenly Momo was being towered over. She looked up and sadly saw Kira. "Momo, would you like to be partners with me?" He said eagerly.
"Um…I think I'm working with Tou-" She looked back and saw Ichigo go up to him, and he looked at Momo. Oh, I guess she's working with him. He thought. He shrugged and Momo suddenly became very depressed. Why wouldn't he want to work with me? She thought to herself, but then sighed. She looked up to Kira and weakly nodded. His face lit up with a victorious smile and he sat down next to her.
"If it gets scary for you at anytime, you can hold onto me!" Kira said with a smile.
Momo just rolled her eyes. How can a guy be so weirdly freaky like that? Didn't she already turn him down? Yes, actually she did, but he just keeps going. She sighed, reaching for the knife but being beat to it by Kira.
"Here I'll do it."
"Alright." She said dryly yet also relived, setting her chin in the palm of her hand and looking back at Toushiro.
"Ah! Shit." Kira shrieked quietly. Momo looked back at him quickly. "Kira, are you-"
Her eyes widen as she stared down at his hand. A crimson red was drooling out of a cut in his hand. A horrified expression crossed her face and she covered her mouth. She started to shake, trying hard to keep her vision focused. "Momo? Are you okay?" Kira asked with concern. She shook her head back and forth and got up, running out the door.
"Damn it." Toushiro said under his breath, getting up and running after her, Kira following.
"Momo, wait!" Toushiro yelled. But Momo just kept going.
X-x-x-x-x-x
Momo sat down, her back against the wall. She was still breathing heavily, her breaths in unison with Kira's. Kira was on her left side while Toushiro was on her right, both sitting down and their backs against the wall. Then Kira looked over to Momo.
"Momo, why did you run away like that?" He asked, waiting patiently for her answer. But she didn't look up; she just buried her face into her arms. But he didn't give up. He placed his hand on her back; Toushiro shooting a glare at him all the while.
A sigh escaped her lips and her head lifted, but her hair still covered her eyes.
"I'm scared of blood." She spoke.
"Why is that?" He asked, his grip on her back tightening the slightest bit.
"Because…" She hesitated, "I watched my mother die." She said, her voice cracking. Toushiro flinched and scrunched his hand into a fist, tendons sticking out.
Flashback.
Momo's mother ran for her life, little Momo holding her hand and running with her. Momo was only five years old at the time, so she would get dragged at times. Momo's mother breathed heavily, tears flowing out of her eyes as she took a sharp turn into a back ally. She picked Momo up and kept running down it.
Damn it, dead end.
She looked back towards the opening of the ally and started to try to slow her breaths so it wouldn't be so noticeable.
"Mama?" Momo said, looking up at her mom with a sad expression on her face, "What's wrong mama? Why are we runnin'?"
Her mom covered Momo's mouth gently, quietly saying 'shh' with a shaky voice. "Momo d-dear, you m-must stay quiet for mama, alright?"
Momo nodded and then her mother sat down on the cold floor with Momo in her arms. She just kept staring at the opening of the ally.
Then, something popped up.
A figure, roughly the outline of a teenage boy. His eyes glowed a bloody red as he crept closer and closer to the scared mother and Momo. Momo's mother looked up in horror to the boy, but then quickly set Momo down. She looked into her daughters eyes. "Momo, you need to promise me that you will cover your ears and close your eyes." She said wearily. Momo nodded her head and her mother straightened up and turned towards the boy.
"Don't hurt my baby!" She pleaded.
His eyes flickered to Momo's gaze and then back up to her mother, consideration in his eyes. Then he bent down a bit…and pounced.
Momo covered her ears and squeezed her eyes shut. She tried not to focus on her mothers screams as glistening tears started to fall from her eyes. She was five; she didn't understand what was going on. Then, it all went silent.
Momo slowly started to open her eyes scared of what she may see. Then, her eyes widened in horror. At that moment, she saw her mother's body lay lifelessly on the ground, only a couple drops of blood surround her. Her eyes began to tear up as she looked up at the boy that killed her mother. She expected him to look like a ruthless killer, but she didn't see that. She saw apologetic eyes. He then grabbed his side, struggling to get a hold of himself. Momo saw the blood around his mouth and covering his hands, immediately becoming confused.
Then the boy turned around.
Momo then ran over to her mother and knelt beside her.
"M-mama? Mama?! MAMA!" She screamed in horror after her mother wouldn't respond. She knew it now. She was dead.
Then, Momo went black.
End of Flashback.
"I only remember from that day on. I forget everything I ever did before that day. T-the doctors say that I'm just trying to block out my childhood so that it's not harder for me but…" She drifted off.
Then, Toushiro suddenly got up, Momo's eyes following him.
"Shiro-chan? Are you okay?"
He didn't speak. Momo kept her confused gaze on his back as he turned around. Then, he suddenly ran down the hall, some of his inhuman strength showing. He was in hurry. He wasn't really paying attention to that. All he was worried about was getting the truth.
Cliff hanger? Hehe :DD But I hope you liked this chappy :))) Review please! )
