Hey you guys! Miss me? I honestly have no excuse for the late update. but I have started on a new story if you wanna go check it out, it's called Rescue, a bit of a shorter story but it still has a few chapters left but some reviews on it would be nice. Enjoy Chapter Five of In The Band!
Chapter five: To the Mall!
"So Hinamori's going out with Hisagi?" Toshiro asked through the phone. He had just got home from band practice where he had left Momo who said she didn't need a ride. "Yep. He asked her to a movie before practice, they started discussing details after we left." Rukia informed from the other side of the phone. "So do you think they're actually gonna get together? I mean did she seem... Happy?" The white haired boy pondered as he made his way to his bedroom. "Am I sensing a hint of jealousy?" Rukia smirked at the curious boy she was talking to. "Oh please you know I like her, that's why you called to tell me this isn't it?" "Very true. So how are you gonna get her back?" Rukia pushed. "Get her back? I never had her. That's the problem. I have Karin and Hisagi has Momo and that's just something I'll have to live with. As long as she's happy I suppose," Toshiro plopped down on his bed and flipped his phone shut, hanging up on his friend.
"Thanks for giving me a ride home Hisagi-San," Momo smiled as they pulled into her drive way. "It's no problem. So I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6?" The dark haired teen asked as he opened the door for the little brunette. "Um yeah sounds good. I'll see ya then." Momo smiled as she exited the vehicle and hugged the taller male. "I can't wait. I'll text you tomorrow ok?" Hisagi asked as he walked her to her door. "Yeah that'd be great. I guess I'll see ya later." Momo awkwardly responded before unlocking the door to the manor and waving bye as Hisagi made his way back to the car. She shut the door after he drove off and breathed a deep sigh of relief. She made her way up the stairs of the quiet, dark manor. Pulling her phone from her hoodie pocket just before she made it to her room.
To: Momo Hinamori
From: Toshiro Hitsugaya
So... You and Hisagi?
She turned her stereo on and changed into a tank top and pj bottoms. Man news sure does travel fast...
To: Toshiro Hitsugaya
From: Momo Hinamori
Rukia told you?
She replied before plopping on her bed. Her phone buzzed again.
To: Momo Hinamori
From: Toshiro Hitsugaya
Maybe. So it's true?
To: Toshiro Hitsugaya
From: Momo Hinamori
Yeah, I'm gonna go to bed. Night Shiro-Chan
Momo sent her reply before plugging her phone up to charge and snuggling up under the covers. Tomorrow's gonna be a looooong day.
"Oh Momo-Chan! Wake up!" Momo squirmed at the sound of her Nanny on the other side of the door. "Just a few more minutes!" she shouted back before forcing her pillow over her head. "Your breakfast is ready and Rukia is here! Hurry up!" "Uuuuuuuuuugh!" Momo moaned as she slithered out of bed. She rubbed her eyes as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen where her nanny and best friend were eating. "Morning sleeping beauty" Rukia giggled at her friends bed head. "It's Sunday. And it's before noon, why am I awake?" she mumbled as she took her seat next to Rukia at the breakfast table. Giving her smiley faced eggs and bacon a disgusted look before eating the poor smiley's right eye. "I'm here to help you Momo." Rukia said sternly. Momo sat her fork down and finished her mouthful of bacon. "Is this an intervention?" Momo looked at the two females sitting next to her, they burst into laughter at the assumption. "No silly, Rukia is here to help you prepare for your date! Which I just found out about." Rangiku gave Momo an upset look as she turned her attention back to her breakfast. "You were asleep when I got home, I was gonna tell you once I woke up." Momo crammed more bacon into her mouth not removing her eyes from the plate. "Oh I forgive you!" The nanny lifted Momo from the table in a deathly hug, "Um Rangiku... Cant... Breathe..." Rangiku released her and apologized. "Anyway, I've seen your wardrobe and your tomboyish clothes aren't exactly date material, especially if you're going out with heartthrob Hisagi." Rukia informed as she munched on some bacon. "Wait Hisagi? I thought his name was Hitsugaya?" Rangiku interrupted, "Um no, Toshiro has a girlfriend. He and I are just friends, I told you that." Momo answered sternly. "Awe but he was so cute." Rangiku pouted as Rukia stood up and began dragging Momo up the stairs. "Where are we going?" Momo questioned confused. "To get you dressed, we're going shopping!"
"OH how about this dress?" Rukia held up yet another short summer dress. "Rukia, I told you I don't wear dresses. Can't I just wear jeans and a t-shirt?" Momo pleaded as she took the dress from her and hung it back up. "No, I will allow you to wear those cute skinny jeans you have, the black ones. BUT you have to at least get a new top." Hinamori rolled her eyes at her friend, "fine." The girls continued searching through the clothing racks, finally settling on a pink tank top with a cropped, short sleeve, black sweater. After making their purchases, the girls headed to the food court a few stores down in the mall. "You take the clothes and find us a seat; I'll go get us some slices of pizza." Rukia handed Hinamori the bags and ran off towards the food stalls. Momo made her way through the crowd finally finding an open table. She sat her bags in a seat and then made herself comfortable in the chair next to it. She pulled out her cell from her hoodie pocket and skimmed through her texts, she had one from Rangiku, two from Hisagi, and one from toshiro. She didn't feel like responding to any of them so she locked her phone and put it back in her pocket. "Momo?" she turned in her chair at the sound of the familiar voice calling her name. "Shiro-chan!" she stood and gave her white haired friend a short hug. "What are you doing here?" she questioned as she returned to her seat gesturing for him to take the one across from her. "Oh Rukia texted me and asked me to meet her in the food court, have you seen her?" Toshiro asked as he took the seat, "Um actually she's getting us food; her and I have been shopping." Hitsugaya's expression went annoyed as he realized what was happening. She set this up so I would talk to Hinamori. I will not steal another man's girl, even if she does look really cute with her hair pulled back in a high ponytail, the natural pink shade of her cheeks... "Hitsugaya? Hello?" He was snapped out of his thoughts as Momo began waving her hand in front of his face, "Oh I'm sorry, did you say something?" Momo giggled, "I just asked how you and Karen were doing." Toshiro shifted his eyes away from the girl, "Same, and you and Hisagi?" Momo was startled by the question and looked down, her face turning a bright red. "Um what about me and Hisagi?" She asked, not looking away from the floor. Toshiro cocked his head to the side, "I was told you two were a thing now." her head popped up at the statement, "A thing? We're going on a date but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I mean sure Shuuhei is a great guy but in all honesty, I don't think he's the one for me... ya know what I mean?" Toshiro looked at the girl across the table from him. Not sure how to respond at what she had said. Her face changed to signs of realization, "Oh wait please don't tell Rukia I told you that." Hitsugaya nodded at her and they continued on with casual conversation about music and school.
About half an hour passed before Rukia finally returned to the table with shopping bags on her arms and two plates of cheese pizza in her hands. "Oh, hi Hitsugaya! What are you doing here?" Rukia chimed as she took a seat next to Toshiro, handing a plate of pizza to Momo. "You told me to meet you here. Like an hour ago." He gave her a rather annoyed look. "You went to get us food an hour ago too. What took so long?" Momo added as she took a bite of the hot pizza. "Oh well I got distracted and ended up going to a few more stores." Kuchiki lifted a bag into her lap and pulled out a lime green studded belt and a pair of matching green low top Converse. "Aren't they cute? I thought they'd be a good wow factor for your date, since we picked out a girly outfit for you." Rukia stated before placing the accessories back in the bag and taking a bite into her pizza. "So why exactly am I here Kuchiki?" Toshiro sounded annoyed, "Oh um I forgot, I'm sure it wasn't important." Rukia answered without removing her attention from her pizza. "I think I'm gonna head out. It was nice talking to you again Momo, I'll see you at school Kuchiki." the white haired teen stood from his seat and made his way out of the crowded mall. "Bye Shiro-chan!" Momo shouted after her friend who responded with a slight wave back. "So, what did ya'll talk about?" Rukia immediately began questioning after Toshiro was out of ear shot. "Toshiro and I? Mostly just music. Oh he told me about this really cool technique on the drums and-" Momo was cut off by her friend sticking her index finger on her mouth shushing her. "Music? That's it? What about Hisagi, did he try to talk you out of it?" Hinamori was shocked at her friend's boldness. "Talk me out of it? Why would her do that?" Rukia just shook her head, "Momo Momo Momo. When will you learn? That boy really likes you. He hates the fact that you're going out with Hisagi." Hinamori sat her slice of pizza back on her plate and looked up at her friend. "Rukia, Toshiro is in a relationship. He doesn't like me like that, we're just friends. Honest."
Terrible place to end a chapter right? ANYWAY again I'm sorry for the delay and you know the drill don't forget to review! Oh and go check out my new story Rescue. I'll try to update real soon but no promises.
