IM SO SORRY! It's been 4 months! I haven't had a chance to use a computer at all. You'd think that since I just graduated and its summer that I wouldn't have anything to distract me from my writing BUT it's the opposite. I've been busy busy busy. Again I'm sorry and you probably don't care so here's chapter 3!
Chapter 3: The Concert
The school week dragged on until finally it was Saturday. It was about three in the afternoon and Momo was still lying in her bed wearing just a giant t-shirt and underwear, hair resting on her shoulder in a messy ponytail. Better get up. I have to meet Hisagi and Toshiro in a few hours. Momo thought as she drug herself out of bed. She glanced at herself in the mirror, her hair was everywhere and her small figure was engulfed in the t-shirt. She made her way to her personal bathroom and began her routine of cleanliness. After her shower Momo changed into a black tank top and a pair of dark gray skinny jeans. She examined herself in the mirror and decided that it was too warm for jeans and changed into some cute jean shorts and threw on some hot pink suspenders for a hint of color. She smiled at her reflection and grabbed her bag before walking downstairs.
"Well, look who decided to wake up. Oh and you look cute too, what are my little Momo's plans for today?" Rangiku greeted as Momo sat down on the couch next to her. "I'm taking some of my new friends to see a show actually," the girl informed smiling at her older friend. "A show? Not in Rukongai Park... Right?" The nanny pushed for the girl to answer but Momo looked away, "umm yeah..." Rangiku flung her arms around spastically, "if your father finds out you'll be in so much trouble! And then I'll get fired!" Momo giggled at her the nanny, "Chill Rangiku-san, I've gone to multiple shows while daddy was away and never got caught, just stop freaking out ok?" Momo watched Rangiku as she began to pout, "Who are you taking with you? Rukia-chan?" Rangiku asked searching for answers. "Rukia-chan couldn't come she had to do something with Byakuya and Ichigo." Momo looked away hoping the questions were done, but of course, "then who are you taking?" Rangiku asked as Momo sighed. "Just Hisagi and Toshiro," Rangiku practically fell out of her seat. "Those are guy names!" she exclaimed, flailing her arms around. "Yes they are. They're in the band with Ichigo." Rangiku sat silent for a moment and the sighed. "Go, have fun, but when you get back go straight to your room. I'm gonna get me some saka and then some Ichimaru," Rangiku winked at the young girl who pretended to throw up. "Bleh. So what's my curfew?" she asked pretending to wipe her mouth of fake vomit. "I don't care, and if you decide to stay the night somewhere you better text me but don't call. Ok?" Momo nodded and picked up her bag. "Don't have too much fun, I better go. I'm supposed to meet them at the cafe down the block." with that Momo headed towards the door and Rangiku shouted after her, "Be safe! Use protection!" Momo sighed and made her way to the three door garage, she pushed a button on her key chain and the third door began to open opened the third door to find three shiny motor bikes. Momo walked over to the dark plum colored 2002 Honda Sabre and smiled as she hopped on her favorite bike and placed her matching helmet gently over her head and started the bike before driving away.
"Man I can't wait till the show. I can't believe Momo is in to this stuff, she's almost like the perfect girl. Don't you think Toshiro?" Hisagi kept talking about how amazing Momo was as they waited in the cafe to meet the little drummer girl. Toshiro continued staring at his milkshake until Hisagi stood from his seat and stared out the window. "Man check it out there's a chick with a motorcycle parked by us! That's so hot." Toshiro saw his friend drool as he watched the female get off her bike. Then when he noticed his eyes grow large, along with his smile, he too turned his attention to the girl in the parking lot and then realized why Hisagi was bugging out.
Momo was placing her helmet in the compartment behind her seat and running her fingers through her hair before making her way inside the quiet cafe. She noticed the two boys by the window staring at her as she approached. She felt oddly nervous. Is there something in my teeth? She thought to herself as she sat across from Hisagi/next to Hitsugaya. The closeness actually made Toshiro a bit nervous but he didn't let it show. "Um are you ok Hisagi?" Hisagi picked his jaw off the floor and regained his composure. "I'm perfectly fine. Is that yours?" he pointed out the window towards the purple bike, Momo smiled in delight. "Yup that's mine! My daddy got it for me when I was 12, her name is Tobiume!" Momo was smiling brightly and the two boys sat in shock. "You named your bike?" Toshiro questioned the sanity of the girl next to him. "Hey I was 12; I named my hair brush too!" Momo giggled as the waitress came over and took her order. "So I figured we could hang out for about an hour and then you two could follow me to the show so we can get there early and I can introduce you to my friends!" Momo filled the boys in on the evening's agenda before sipping her milkshake. The boys nodded and the three casually chatted for a few minutes before Hisagi's cell phone began to ring. He looked at the ID and then back to his friends, "Um this will just be a moment." he stood from his seat and exited the cafe. "Wonder what that's about," Momo questioned. "I have no idea," Hitsugaya replied. The two sat in silence for a few moments until their friend returns with disappointment in his eyes. "Hey guys... Sorry but I can't come. I forgot I had promised to babysit my cousin." Hisagi informed frowning. Momo smiled at him, "That's ok Hisagi-san, you can come to the next show." he smiled at the cute girl, "hey I drove so how will Hitsugaya get to the show if you only have your bike?" Hisagi asked as he grabbed is keys from the table. "Um Toshiro, do you know how to drive a motorcycle?" the petite girl looked at her white haired friend, "yeah" he responded quizzically. Momo smiled, "do you have one?" "Um no, I used to." Toshiro replied. "Ok then were fine! I'll see you at school Hisagi, c'mon Toshiro!" Momo exclaimed to the puzzled boys. The three walked outside together before the dark haired boy got into his car and drove off. "Um so what are we doin?" Momo just threw the purple helmet at the now stunned boy in response, "umm why did you give me the helmet?" he asked even more confused. The petite girl just threw her leg over the bike and smirked, "hop on." Toshiro hesitated as the girl started the bike. "Oh c'mon I only live down the block and then we'll change vehicles. So man up and get on!" she teased him before revving the engine. The white haired boy sighed before putting the helmet on and taking his seat behind the girl on the bike.
Once the reached Momo's house she drove them back to the garage and opened the third door again. Toshiro watched as the door opened to reveal two more motor cycles. The light blue Harley immediately caught his eye. "Well stop staring and pick one," Momo giggled and nudged Toshiro towards the garage. He walked over to the Harley, "I see you like Hyorimaru," Momo tossed him the helmet that went with the bike. Toshiro caught it and looked back at the girl, "This one is yours too?" Momo nodded. "Yup he's newer though, got him when I was 15 but I don't ride him as much. Tobiume is still my baby." She smiled, and Toshiro looked at the other bike, it was light pink and looked like an older version of Momo's Sabre. Momo noticed him looking at it, "That's my Nanny's bike." Toshiro's head turned back to the girl, "You have a Nanny?" Momo blushed in response, "Um yeah. My Father is always away on business and my Mother is a famous designer. I think she's in Paris right now." Toshiro watched as the girls face fell and she looked at the ground. "We better get going, you said you wanted to get there early remember?" Momo's head jerked up and looked at the boy who was now putting the light blue helmet over his spiky white hair after a moment she smiled, "You're right, just follow me it's about a thirty minute ride." The two hopped on their bikes and started out for Rukongai.
About thirty minutes later the two parked their bikes in front of a small cabin-like building in the middle of Rukongai Park. The only other vehicle in the park was a green, 1990 Toyota Corolla. "Oh great Renji's here!" Momo smiled as she grabbed Toshiro's hand and dragged him up the stairs to the doors of the shelter. Toshiro looked around the giant empty room with the short stage in the corner. The stage already had some amps and a drumset set up but other than that the room was dead. "Um are you sure anyone is here?" Toshiro questioned as he stepped into the room. "Yeah! They still have almost two hours until show time so they're probably just chilling in the back room." Toshiro followed Momo as she skipped across the room and knocked on a lone door. "Izuru you're late!" a boy shouted as he opened the door, "Oh hey Momo!" the red haired teen smiled once he realized he's petite friend had arrived. "Renji!" Momo squealed and wrapped her arms around the boy in a hug. "Renji I've missed you!" The boy chuckled as he pried the girl off of him. "I missed you too Momo now let go you're killing the rock star." Momo laughed as she let go. "Oh this is Toshiro, he's a drummer." Renji looked past the girl at the boy she just introduced. His face grew serious and Toshiro could feel the tension in the room rising, Momo didn't seem to notice. "It's nice to meet you," Toshiro nodded to the older teen. Renji nodded back and moved from the doorway so the two could enter the room. It was a rather bare room with a small TV and a large red couch. Momo plopped down on the couch and smiled as she looked up at her red haired friend before turning her expression to a frown. "What's wrong?" Renji looked at the now sad girl. Toshiro leaned against the wall, watching the two old friends. "What are you wearing?" Renji's eyes grew wide, "Wh-What are you talking about? I look great!" Toshiro tried to hide his chuckle but wasn't too successful. "Have you looked in the mirror? you're wearing a black t shirt and a black leather vest. wait." Momo stood and looked closely at the vest, "this isn't even real leather!" she threw her hands in the air. "Hey now I think I look great! And so what if it isn't real leather!" He replied in an angry tone, "I think you look tacky!" "Tacky? You're one to talk! what the hell are you wearing anyway?" "Not fake leather!" "You little twerp!" Toshiro watched as the two bickered. After a few moments later the white haired boy heard a knock on the door he had entered through. He saw that neither Momo nor the other boy noticed so he opened the door allowing in a plain looking blonde teen. "Oh um hi there, I'm Izuru. who are you?" Toshiro noticed the bickering had stopped and Momo had appeared in front of him. "M-Momo? I haven't seen you in months!" Toshiro watched as the blonde picked up the girl in a hug. Momo giggled as she was spun around by her old friend. "Izuru-kun it's been too long! I've missed you so much!" Toshiro watched the reunion but couldn't help feel a little jealous, the relationship between his Momo and this blonde kid appears to bit deeper than the one between her and the red head. "Oh Izuru this is Toshiro, he's a drummer like me!" "Oh well it's nice to meet you Toshiro." Toshiro nodded in response and then turned his head to the side. "Izuru will you please tell Renji to take that ugly fake vest off. I really don't want you guys to look tacky." Momo pouted and Izuru looked over at his friend who was now on the couch flipping through channels on the tiny TV. "Renji just take the vest off, you know she won't shut up until you do." "Fine!" Renji took the vest off and threw it across the room. "Thank you." Momo smiled and the three chatted on about old times. Toshiro just stood against the wall observing the trio, they had about 30 minutes til the show started and they were the third band to perform. Toshiro noticed the blonde boy was sitting really close to Momo and his arm was wrapped gently around her waist. He would occasionally whisper something to Momo causing her to blush and giggle. Toshiro couldn't help but notice himself feeling jealous, he had a girlfriend and he was feeling jealous over a girl he just met. "Hey Toshiro," the petite girl snapped him out of his thoughts, "We should probably go watch the first band, I'll see you boys in a bit ok?" She patted their knees as she stood from the couch, toshiro reached to open the door but was surprised when it burst open revealing a small pink haired girl. "SORRY I'M LATE!" The girl screamed. She froze as she saw Hinamori. "PEACHY-CHAN!" she squealed and jumped on Momo in a glomping hug. "I missed you too Yachiru!" Momo giggled as she hugged the smaller girl. "Toshiro this is Yachiru, Yachiru meet Toshiro." the small girl looking to be around 14 years old walked over to Toshiro and examined him up and down. "He's cute! Has he kissed you yet?" Yachiru asked as she turned back to Momo who was surprised by this and began to turn a bright shade of pink. "Um no Yachiru-Chan we're just friends," she tried to hide her face by looking down, "But umm we really must go, c'mon Toshiro." She grabbed the white haired boy by the hand and drug him out the door. "Well that was awkward." Renji bluntly stated as the two left.
The two friends watched the different bands perform including the Pineapples (Renji's band). The crowd was crazy and Toshiro found himself jumping with everyone else to the beat. They were about 5 songs away from the end of the concert when Toshiro felt his arm being pulled and turned to see Momo dragging him out to the balcony of the shelter house. Once outside she let out a loud sigh and leaned her body over the rail, the white haired teen just gave her a quizzical look. "Sorry about that, I'm just exhausted" she explained, "I've never been able to make it through a full concert unless I was performing." Toshiro just nodded in understanding. "You know you're allowed to talk." Momo stated out of nowhere. "What?" Toshiro seemed confused, "You haven't talked hardly all night, I'm sorry if you're not having fun," she explained and looked away. Toshiro was shocked by this; he walked over and placed his arm around her shoulder, "I'm sorry you think that. I'm having tons of fun I just don't like to talk around new people." Momo looked up at him and smiled and then rested her head on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a few songs before Momo pulled away nervously, "Um we should probably be heading back home," she stated as she began to walk back inside but was shortly stopped by Toshiro gently grabbing her arm. "Did I do something wrong?" She looked up at his concerned expression and smiled, "No you didn't, it's just getting late," He nodded and followed the girl back to their bikes. The ride back to Momo's was short. When they pulled into her garage and hopped off the bikes, returning their helmets to the handle bars, the two smiled at each other and walked to the extravagant fountain in the front yard. Momo sat down on the edge and Toshiro shortly followed. "So... did you have fun tonight?" Momo asked smiling at her white haired friend. He looked up from his shoes and smiled at the girl, "Most fun I've had in a while actually," she blushed not knowing why she did it but she couldn't help it. "Hey Hitsugaya?" he looked at her curiously, "Yes?" she looked like she was thinking really hard about something then she just smiled softly and said, "I should probably get you home it's getting late." He could tell that not what she wanted to say but he got up and followed her to the garage again and into the small, red, Volkswagen Bug.
