Previously: "Oh! Toshiro thank goodness your here! I have know clue where i am but I'm so glad you here with me!" Momo chirped as she snuggled closer to him.
"Umm... W...what are you doing ma'am? D..do I know you?" Toshiro asked without much hesitation. Momo yanked her head out of it's possession and peered into his eyes. At that moment her heart felt like it shattered.
"W...what?" she whispered into the wind.
..:Deep down inside you wanna believe they still do:..

..:Chapter Two:..
..:Opposite sides and a mind for a mind:..
Everything went silent for a moment. The wind wrestled around them making a howling noise. Momo's hair blew along with it as her eyes remained wide opened. Maylina gracefully glided over to them and landed on the top of Toshiro's head. You couldn't see her because of the mess of white hair though. She pushed it to the sides and looked down at the two, who's faces were extremely close together. Momo's arms were still settled around his neck not planning to release anytime soon it had seemed and Toshiro's eyes were glued to hers with as much confusion as hers had shown. Maylina did everything in her power not to laugh or giggle but it was almost killing her.
"Toshiro? You don't know who I am, do you?" Momo whispered sadly taking her gaze down to there feet. Toshiro didn't answer right away. He watched her for a second. Then grabbed her arms and lifted them from around his neck, letting them fall back to her sides. He took a step back and shook his head.
"No, and I don't really plain to find out." He answered coldly as he turned his head. Tears seemed to form in her eyes. Where was she? And what was wrong? Toshiro didn't know who she was. That wasn't right. They had been married for four year. Four years. Plus she had known him for most of her life before that. It's impossible for you to forget someone so close to you when you've been together that long... right? I mean of course brain damage or something would be an exception but he didn't have brain damage.
"Oh come on! don't be so harsh! This is princess Momo. You know, your wife!" Maylina cheerfully pointed out sarcastically. Boy was she making matters worse. Momo hadn't even known her for ten minutes and she was already on the verge of strangling her tiny neck. Toshiro raised an eyebrow in Momo's direction. Which she caught glimpse of and looked to the ground again. He had that look on his face. The one he never ever used with her but always looked at other people with when he was overly frustrated with them. Now she knew how they felt. He bored into her for a few minutes. He noticed he wasn't getting her attention so he turned around and started to walk way.
Momo looked up. She gasped when she saw him disappear in the bushes. It might have been the wrong idea to follow him. but if she didn't, there was a chance she would never see him again. The thought made her heart leap. And before she knew it she ran after him. She had noticed he had gotten pretty far ahead when she came behind him. She had ran longer than she thought she would have. Either he was a very fast walker or he had ran a little ways a head to get away from her. But, either way she was now caught up and walking silently behind him.
She already knew he was aware of her tagging along. But for some reason he didn't stop and tell her to go on her way. Maybe he was playing a game? That could be it. He could remember her and just be playing a trick. But Toshiro wasn't like that though. He wouldn't do that to her. Maybe he really didn't remember. Then something struck her. She looked side to side of her. She then notice Maylina wasn't with her. She smirked. Finally she wasn't here to make a seen. But in away Momo did feel pretty bad for leaving her behind.
After a while of walking Momo had moved up to being right behind Toshiro now. He still hadn't complained. Although he never really was the one to complain. Momo looked up at him and stared. He hadn't really token notice she would have guessed cause he didn't look back at her. Then the bushes on there left started to shake. And since it was really quite before it had happen, Momo squealed and without thinking, grabbed onto Toshiro's arm. He sighed in annoyance, then looked over towards the bushes. A little pixie flew over towards them. When Momo noticed the little pixie as Maylina she wanted to cry, let the torture begin.
"Would you get off of me?" Toshiro asked in annoyance as he peered down at her. She looked up at him with a scolded look on her face and decided to play it. She was getting tired of him acting like he didn't know her. It was stupid. She knew it was a game and she was getting rather bored of it. She shook her head no and hung on tighter. Toshiro only growled at her and tried to take his arm back, but to no prevail. Momo tightened her grip on him again and laid her head on his arm, right above where her hands were holding on. She wasn't letting go.
"If you don't let go, you'll be sorry." He struggled to get out of her grasp as he spoke. She didn't pay any mind though but kept hold. She wasn't afraid of him. He wasn't aggressive and he wouldn't hurt her. She knew that for sure. Maylina watched from a distance. She found it quite amusing unlike the two of them. "If you don't let go, I'll kidnap you and you'll never come back here again. You'll be forced to stay with me on the road for the rest of your life." He almost screamed at her. Then after he had said that, it hit her. If he kidnapped her, she would have to stay with him, just like he said. And wasn't the idea? If she played it just right, she could get him to keep his word and she'd be taken along. She smiled in her mind but acted shocked outside of it. Toshiro smirked at her, when he noticed he had gotten her attention. Little did he know he get her attention in the wrong way.
"You wouldn't dare! You'd be hunted down in a second." She scolded at him in an unbelieving voice. She smirked at him as she finished. "Your lying." She looked at him and watched his face light up with anger after she had said the last two words. Being called a 'liar' didn't suit him very well. And made him angry at times. She had learned this many times in the past and was about to see it again.
"Try me." He whispered dangerously at her. There eyes connected and they glared at each other. Momo smiled up at him innocently and with drew her hands from his arm. He smirked at her in triumph. He was about to turn when she ran in front of him. Swinging her arms around his neck tightly and she smiled at him again. He glared at her once more. "what are you doing?" He was growing short of peasants for her and he was about to show her what he could do forcefully.
"You said try me, am i correct? I don't believe you. So I'm curious if you'll do it." Momo said softly yet in a teasing way. He gritted his teeth and grabbed her elbows. He snatched them from around his neck forcefully. He then picked her up and swung her over his shoulder. That actually was easier than she had expected it to be, but she wasn't finished yet. If she just let him take her he'd figure out that's what she wanted. She then began to swing and kick and scream for him to put her down. But he ignored her commands and went on his way.
After a good half an hour she stopped and just let him take her. He had noticed this and smirked in triumph this time he had won. At least that's what he had thought but in reality Momo had beaten him by a long shot. Maylina glided behind them, following everywhere Momo was going. She had to watch over her just incase something happened or Toshiro wasn't as nice as Momo had acted like. Maybe she did know him. She acted like she wasn't afraid of him. Maylina could have bet that wasn't an act though, she probably wasn't afraid of him. And that little trick she had just pulled. Come on. Was this guy blind? That was the worst acting she could have ever seen and yet he bought it? The thought of that made her giggle.
After a good hour or so they had pushed through the last bushes of the small forest and now were looking at the blue ocean and sky just ahead. Momo noticed the breeze and put her hand on Toshiros shoulder trying to lift herself up to look in that direction. But he only push her back down. Momo sighed heavily, maybe this wasn't that great of an idea if he was going to treat her like this the whole time.
Toshiro then walked his way to an old beat up dock. As his foot touched it, it began t creak and sounded like it was cracking. Momo began to have second thoughts about letting him take her over this dock. She started to squirm trying to get out of his hands and on the ground. But it was no use. He had just held on tighter and kept on walking. Momo closed her eyes and tried to block out the sounds of the molded wood underneath them. Toshiro took another step forward and his foot broke through a piece of the wood. Momo screamed and grasped onto his shirt tightly from the back. He only chuckled at her childness and lifted his foot up and kept on going.
At the end of the dock sat a boat. A pretty big one at that, maybe it could even be considered a ship. Toshiro soon reached it and put Momo down on her feet before starting to climb up it. He reached the top and smirked at her. "I'm not stupid, princess, you really thought i would fall for that. Your a bad actress. Take classes, it might help." Momo's mouth dropped open. He had known what she was doing? She really didn't give him enough credit sometimes. And she thought her act was pretty good. But she guessed wrong. She glared and him and crossed her arms across her chest. She pouted her lip and turned around not facing him. He only smirked wider and went to the other side of the ship where the drivers wheel was.
The engine started and the boat started move. Momo gasped as she swung around. She couldn't believe it! He was actually leaving her? Oh no he wasn't. She looked around. Was there something around to get his attention. No of course not it was a dock for crying out loud. She tried to think of something fast. But nothing came to mind. She cursed at herself. Forgetting how old the dock was she stomped her feet with anger and the bottom broke under her feet. She screamed as she plunged into the water. The worst part was she couldn't swim.
Toshiro looked over to the dock when he heard her scream, but Momo wasn't there anymore. He then noticed a whole in the dock boards and looked at the water. Small bubbles were coming up. He stopped the boat and watched for a second. He knew she was acting again. He thought about how dumb this was as he watched for a little longer. a minute passed and she still hadn't come up. Then it hit him like a rock. What if she couldn't swim? He dropped the Anker to the boat so it wouldn't float away and dived in the water. God this girl was trouble. Finally he reached her and put her in his left arm. Sure enough she was unconscious. He started to swim to the top. When he reached it he had to perform CPR.
