Chapter 5

Chado was about to leave work at the mechanics when he was stopped by Kenpachi at the door. "We need to have a talk." His voice was icy and his face was hidden by shadow. Chado gulped and followed Kenpachi to an empty room.

"What do you need to talk to me about?" Chado asked nervously.

"Yachiru. You better confess to her or give up on her completely."

"Wha-what are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about. You call her out for a confession and chicken out on her. If you don't do anything then you don't deserve her!"

Chado stared wide eyed at the frightening Kenpachi. "Say something!" he snapped, Chado jumped.

"Y-you-" Chado put his head down in shame and walked out of the room, "you're right."

"You're a good kid Chado, but if you hurt her, I'll hurt you." Kenpachi said to himself before returning to work.

Buzzzzzzz! Yachiru walked to the apartment door to find Chado behind it, he looked nervous, staring at his shaking hands. "Chado-chan? Are you-"

"Do you want to go out for dinner tomorrow?! Like a date!" He practically yelled at her, watching her face closely.

Yachiru stood there in shock. "I can't."

"Oh." He said disappointed.

"Ken-chan is taking me out to celebrate his promotion, but he isn't coming home for dinner tonight.. so, we could go now?"

"Yes! Er, uh.. sure." Chad looked back at his hands, embarrassed.

"Uh, let me get some cash."

"Don't worry I'll pay for it."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Then let's go."

"MOMO-CHAN!" Izuru yelled as loud as he could, several near by people stared at him. Doushiyou mo nai itsumo shou mo nai koto bakari de moriagatte sonna bokura mo otona ni natte... Izuru fished his phone out of his pocket and flipped it open.

"Moshi-moshi. Hitsugaya-sempai?"

"Any luck?" Toshiro asked hopefully.

"No."

"Oh, well I think we should call it a night. It's pretty late."

Sigh. "Yeah."

"Alright. I'll let her Obaa-chan know what's going on and i guess just wait, she might show up at my house again. I'll let you know if she does."

"Okay. Thanks Hitsugaya-sempai. Maybe she'll turn up at school tomorrow."

"Maybe. Bye."

Click. Izuru stared at the ground for a bit, holding back tears. Momo-chan, where are you? Izuru clenched his fists and continued to search for Momo.

"Momo-chaaaaaaaan!" Izuru gave one last shout before returning to his apartment, keeping an eye out for her on the way home. When he reached his apartment building he saw a dark figure sitting on the front steps. A homeless person? Izuru stupidly thought as he cautiously walked toward the building. When he got closer the figure stood up and the light reached it's face. It was Momo.

"Momo-chan!" Izuru ran up to her and held her tightly. Momo stood shocked in his arms. "Izuru-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"You're holding me too tight."

"Oh! Sorry!" He broke the hug, but held onto her shoulders afraid she'd run away again. "Hitsugaya-sempai and I were so worried about you! You just ran off and we couldn't find you anywhere!"

"I'm sorry." she said looking at the ground, "I was just upset and I wanted to get away from there, I wanted to stay with you guys, but I didn't want to go back."

"Why didn't you call then?"

"I left my phone at Shiro-chan's."

"Why didn't you go there then?"

"I've already worried him enough."

"Why-"

"Please don't ask anymore questions." Izuru saw that Momo was crying again.

"Do you- Come in side." He put an arm around her and led her into the apartment building.

"This is where you live?!" Momo stared in amazement, It was a huge apartment! On the top floor too!

"Yeah. It's what my parents left me." He said bowing at the picture of his parents and whispering a small 'Tadaima' to them.

Momo watched sadly. His parents had died in a car crash several weeks before Izuru started middle school, he loved them very much.

"Uh.. are you hungry? I can make some ramen." Izuru asked.

"Sure. Should I help?"

"No, it's fine. You can wait on the couch, turn on the T.V. the remote is on the coffee table." He pointed to his right as he walked into the kitchen on his left.

Izuru came out 5 minutes later with two bowls of ramen to find Momo asleep on the couch. He put the bowls down on the coffee table and took the blanket draped over the back of the couch and put it over Momo. Then he went to the kitchen and put the ramen in the refrigerator for later.

"Oyasuminasai Momo-chan." He whispered before going to bed.

Chado and Yachiru quietly walked through the park. Enjoying each other's company and the peacefulness between them.

"Look! Look! The fountain is running! Let watch it!" She looked up at Chado, eyes shinning with pure childish delight.

"Okay, there's a bench over there." They sat down and watched the fountain. Yachiru smiled happily, making Chado even happier. He glanced down to see her hand placed next to her on the bench. So small, and so close.

He shakily reached for her hand. Yachiru's head snapped back towards Chado. "Isn't this nice? It's so pretty."

"Yeah, really pretty." He said startled, disappointed in himself for being so shy he slowly brought his hand back to his side, but Yachiru quickly grabbed it before it had completely returned to him. "We should probably head back. Ken-chan will be home soon."

"Uh, yeah." he nodded, a slight blush on his cheeks.

Ikkaku slowly walked up the stairs to his room. Damn Asano! She wasn't scared off at all! I don't think she even noticed! She just dragged me around store to store to store! I can't wait to get to bed. Ikkaku opened the door to his room to find Yumichika sleeping in his bed. "Yumichika!"

"What?!" Yumichika sat straight up in the bed, he was a very light sleeper. "What is it?! Did something happen to my hair?!" He patted his head to make sure it was okay.

"Why are you still here?!"

"Why are you so late? She should have sent you home hours ago. I stayed so you could tell me all the details when you got back."

"She didn't notice."

"What do you mean she didn't notice?!"

"She didn't. She just grabbed my arm and took me shopping... to every store in town!"

"What!? What kind of girl doesn't notice appearance?! ...Wait, I forgot. She likes you."

Ikkaku punched Yumichika's shoulder. "Yeah. Yeah. She's weird. Now get out of my bed I need some sleep."

"Don't we need a new plan? How are you going to get rid of her?"

"We'll think about it later. Right now I need to sleep. So, get out of my bed."

"No."

"What do you mean 'no'?" Ikkaku was about to collapse on the floor and sleep he was not in the mood to argue with Yumichika.

"You disrupted my beauty sleep so now you've got to pay the price."

"What?!" Ikkaku yelled, "No way! This is my bed! My house! Now get out!"

"Actually it's my house." A tired old man said sleepily from the doorway.

"Otou-san!"

"What are you doing yelling at this hour Ikkaku? There are people trying to sleep in this house. Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"Yes Otou-san. I was just about to go to bed, but Yumichika-"

"Yumichika is a guest. Go sleep in the living room Ikkaku. And don't yell anymore."

Ikkaku grumbled to himself and sleepily trudged out of the room.

"Bye Shuuhei-kuuuuuun!" Rangiku waved good bye as she entered her apartment building. Shuuhei had insisted in walking her home saying it was way to late for her to be outside by herself. Even though she could take care of herself she didn't mind being in his company for those 20 extra minutes it took to walk from his house to hers. She tiredly walked through the lobby not noticing the jealous white haired teenager who had been waiting there for several hours.

"Ya ain't gonna say hello Ran-chan?" his voice icy and full of anger. Rangiku whipped around surprised to see him there.

"Gin-chan.."

"Yes?"

"Why are you here?"

"Why? Why else would I be here?" He seemed very angry with her. "Oh, I don know.. maybe ter see my girlfriend!"

"Gin-chan. It's late. Go home. We can talk tomorrow." She backed away from him a little.

"But I came here ter see ya, an ya come here wit another guy?" Rangiku had never seen Gin this angry, actually she'd never seen him angry at all.

"Gin-chan, that's not how it is. Shuuhei-kun is a friend I just made him dinner thats all."

"Dinner? Why?"

"Because he's alone... and so am I." Rangiku said quietly.

"You're not alone! Ya have me!"

"You're never around!" Rangiku started to cry, "Never.. it's feels like you abandoned me."

"Ran-chan.. I'd never-" Gin didn't get to finish because Rangiku had bolted for the elevator as someone got out. "Ran-chan!"

Gin ran after her, but the doors closed just as he got to the elevator. Rangiku managed to make it to her room before completely breaking down.

She sat on the floor and sobbed into the phone, Shuuhei's comforting voice eventually putting her to sleep.
