"And your ship might be suitable for angels too." Momo smiled at him with a giggle as he chuckled at her childness. "When's the boat gonna hit us?" She asked with a little worry in her voice. Toshiro thought for a minute and then shrugged.
"About now." He said softly in a tone that sounded as if it wasn't a big deal. As if waiting for his que, the boat started to shake and the box fell off that table, hitting the ground with a loud thud. Momo hung on to Toshiro with more force and laid her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him.

The ground vibrated as the sounds of the two ships hitting began to get louder. The men on the other ship were screaming at one another only loud enough for them to hear but not make out what they were saying. Toshiro wrapped his arms as far around Momo has they could go as another crash was made but closer to the part of the boat that they were sitting in. It caused them to be lifted off the ground a little but fell back down which causing Momo to yelp in surprise. One more crash was made, taking the same affect as the one just before it. Momo closed her eyes tightly as they bounced up again. Everything had stopped for a moment. She lifted her head up and pulled herself away from Toshiro just enough to sit up, but only to be pulled right back.
"Hang on, the worst is about to happen." Momo stiffened at his words and cuddled closer to him again. He ran his hands up and down her back as she shivered a few times. "The boats are stuck. There going to try to just force themselves by without taking time to try to get even a hair of space between them. I must give you credit though, you were right. That ship is way bigger then I gave it credit for." He whispered. He placed his chin on her head as her breathing became uneasy. "But we'll still be just fine." He assured her.
All of a sudden banging started to start up at the top of the ship. Toshiro looked up at the ceiling as foot steps were running across the top deck of his ship. He sighed annoyingly as he started to try to stand but Momo kept him down. He reached in front of him and tried to pry her fingers off his shirt, which she had a death grip on. He only chuckled as he fiddled around with her fingers. He gave up in about a half a minute, noticing he wouldn't be able to undo them. "Momo, you have to let go, I have to get them off the ship." He told her. Momo only shook her head 'no' and rubbed herself closer to him. He looked down at her and sighed as he ran his fingers through her hair. "I'll be right back, Just give me five minutes." Momo didn't responded or move for a minute. She looked up at him worriedly. Finally she unclasped her hands from his shirt and put them in her lap. "That a girl." Toshiro whispered to her with a smile. He kissed her forehead before standing up. Momo's cheeks turned pink as she looked away from his gaze. He only chuckled as he walked quickly to the door and departed the room.
Momo sat there quite for a few minutes, waiting for him to return. For some odd reason it had gotten a little chilly causing her to wrap her knees against her chest with her arms. She rested her head down on her knees and she looks to the ground on her right side. The small box was tipped over a few feet away from her. She sighed remembering what had happened to her in the image it had given off. If only she could put on red shoes and clap them together to get back like in one of Momoka's little movies. Momo smiled at the thought. She looked up at the ceiling listening to the sounds above her. Toshiro voice was screaming along with one of the other guys. She guessed they were fighting.
After a bit she stood up and wobbled a little bit before gaining her balance. She slowly made her way to the door. It had gotten a lot colder, it just wasn't her imagination. The ground was piercing cold. As if leaving an ice cube against your fingers. Picking up the pace because of the coldness, Momo was practically running to the door. Toshiro's voice became louder then ever when she cracked the door open. He didn't seem very happy, along with the other guy. Momo debated for a minute if she should just wait for him to come back. It would have been the wiser choice, but of Corse she didn't choose it. She excited the room quietly as she started to walk up the stairs to the top of the ship. She kept her hand on the wall. brushing it slightly as she walked. Finally she made it to the door that separated her and the fresh air from outside. There screaming's were now capable of her hearing there words. Placing her hand on the handle she twisted it slowly and opened it. The screaming became quiet as she opened the door and all eyes were on her.
Momo stopped when she stepped out of the way for the door to close. There were four men in front of Toshiro staring at her along with him. He looked shocked for some reason. His teeth clinched as he turned his attention back to the one in front of him. He was almost taller then Toshiro and had a long gray beard. He was a little over waited and had brown eyes. Although Toshiro had turned to him, he had his eyes on Momo still, along with the rest. Momo put her head down, looking at the ground away from there gaze. She looked over to Toshiro only to see him gesturing for her to walk in a long curve along his side to come to him. She hesitated for a minute but lifted a foot and slowly did as he had said. She was half way there, all eyes still on her, but none of them moved causing her to walk faster. When she was only a few feet away from him she ran to his side only to have him grab onto her arm and position her behind him. Momo moved a little so she could see the men but only a bit. The one in front only smirked at her causing Momo to flinch and go back behind Toshiro. She rested her head on his back placing her hands on his back too but right next to the sides of her face.
"The southern sides princess, huh? How'd you get away with taking her?" The man laughed harshly. Momo shivered a little as he continued on. "She seems to be quite attached to you, I wonder why that is." He stated out of the blue. Of Corse it was way more obvious then she thought. He didn't have to state it. Toshiro shrugged his shoulders as he shifted most of his weight on his right leg, leaning that way a little.
"She followed me and stubbornly almost drowned herself so I would take her with me." Toshiro recalled. Momo frowned at how he had put that. She didn't try to drown on purpose to go with him. She threw a fit and ended up in the water on accident. Although it could have been considered like that too. It did look like she had did it on purpose but she didn't. The man frowned.
"I find that hard to believe, look at her. She doesn't seem like the type to throw herself at someone like you. I think this was against her will." He insisted trying to looked over at the girl. Toshiro moved into his view though and only smirked at his comment.
"You'd be surprised, her looks don't even begin to show her real colors, She's annoying as hell and insists on staying with me. She's pretty smart too, which I wouldn't have guessed by the looks of her." He chuckled. Momo gently slammed her head into his back showing she wasn't very happy with his teasing. He only chuckled under his breath a little more at her actions. The man didn't seem convinced.
"It's obvious your holding her here against her free will." The man looked around a bit before meeting Toshiro's gaze. "And this ship is in no condition for a princess such as herself, it's filthy." He growled. Toshiro's face turned hard as so did his body. Momo pulled her head up off his back and looked at the back of his head.
"Does she look like she cares about that?" Toshiro asked crossing his arms across his chest.
"Is she allowed too?" The man asked bitterly. He was more then convinced Momo was being held as a prisoner or slave on Toshiro's ship. Momo began to get cold chills from there words. Toshiro growled under his breath.
"She's more then allowed to state her opinions and wants. I don't force her to do anything. She was the one who insisted on coming." Toshiro said annoyed. The man only looked crossed.
"Well, then. I'll help her." He said with a smirk. Toshiro stiffened again as the man snapped his fingers. Two of his men began to move closer to them. Momo started to worry as they got closer. She automatically wrapped her arms around Toshiro's waist tightly and buried her face in his back. Toshiro glared at the two men as they pulled out swords, showing they were willing to force her away from him. Toshiro's eyes flickered left to right of the men as he too pulled out his sword. Momo stiffened at the scene. Toshiro noticed and placed one of his hands on hers.
"It'll be okay, just keep yourself away from them all and I'll do the rest." Toshiro took his hand back and reached into his pocket. He took out a little red pocket knife. He unfolded her hands infront of him and placed it in them. He pulled her to the front of him and hugged her to the side of him. Toshiro then leaned down to her ear. "Just incase things get out of hand, don't hold back and use that." He kissed her ear and pulled away from her. Taking his arm back he placed it with the other on the handle of the silver sword. "Stay to the side, and what ever happens, do not go back down stairs. I can't save you if your not in reaching distance." He explained to her. Momo nodded her head and turned to run to the other end of the ship. But before she could something hit her and she forgot about Toshiro not knowing her in the way she did. She ran back to him and stood right next to him. He turned his head to her in shock. "What?" He asked her. She smiled up at him and quickly placed her hands on his shoulders, pushing herself up.
"Be careful." She whispered before kissing him sweetly on the cheek before looking in his eyes. She only smiled and ran back to where she was going before turning around. Toshiro only smirked and turned is attention to the men coming his way.

I know this was short compared to most of the other chapters but my cousins stayed over for three days and I had no time to write so I threw this together. This chapter was supposed to be the main plot, but my mom thought it would be a great surprise to throw a surprise slumber party for me so I had no time to plain this out. But the beginning of the main part is here in this chapter. So part three (next chapter) will have everything to the main plot. I hope you all forgive me for holding it off. I promise next chapter will have it. Please review!
