Ok as promised here is chapter 9 of River town high. Note: I apologize to anyone that may have been offended by Renji calling Rukia a midget.

Momo couldn't sleep or even close her eyes for that matter. No matter how she laid, she couldn't get comfortable enough to rest. After all she was sharing a bed with Toshiro! Or rather a small area, the two side-by-side foldout beds were also occupied by Renji, Rukia, Orihime, Ichigo, and Rangiku. But she had to be the closest to Toshiro. Not on her own in Rangiku's bed, no, it had to be next to Shiro! Momo sighed; she was getting too worked up. Toshiro wouldn't try anything even without the others. He didn't like her, at least not they way she felt for him. He had even said so. Momo painfully recalled the day when Toshiro had accidentally kissed her forehead, when she had tried to wake him. She had been trying to suppress that memory for days, but it had finally bubbled to the surface to haunt her. She squeezed the pillow to suppress the tears from filling her eyes, when a pair of slender arms wrapped them self's around her waist. Momo blushed; Toshiro was holding her close to his body, really close. Momo's heart began racing like a train at full speed. She was pressed right up to his chest in a warm gripping hug. How can someone who look's so cold be so warm? She asked her self nuzzling his chest. But stopped when she realized he was probably asleep and mistaking her again, as soon as she realized this she pushed him away.

"What's wrong Momo?" Momo looked up the lock eyes with Toshiro, awake and completely aware of what he was doing.

"Wha-?" Momo blinked astonished. Toshiro just gave her a tender questioned look. "What are you doing?" she said softly, still surprised at the fact Toshiro had, fully aware of his actions, hugged her closely and tenderly.

"Well until you pushed away I was hugging you," he said loosening his grip on her.

"But why?" was all Momo could ask.

"Because I love you," he said pulling her in closer. Momo looked in his eyes astounded at him. Did he just confess his love for her?! Toshiro gave her a soft look and pulled her up to his chest. Momo's heart began racing even faster and harder then ever. She dared to look up at his face, when she did she instantly realized how little room there was between them and immediately looked back down her face turning 36 colors of red. "Momo?" he asked softly in her ear "Please tell me. What do you feel for me?" Momo could swear she was having a heart attack from how hard and fast her heart was pounding. She was silent for what felt like forever and finally brought her lips near Toshiro's ear and breathed.

"I love you to, Shiro-chan," There she had finally said it! Momo could have sworn a huge weight had been lifted off her chest. She had felt so much pain and had made her self believe he hated her but he didn't. He loved her. But there was one thing she had to know to lift another huge weight off her chest. "But what about the girl you said you liked when you accidentally kissed me?" Momo was almost scared of the answer. Toshiro blinked in surprise then smiled and chuckled softly. Momo was confused.

"You really fell for that, huh?" he said.

"Wait what?" Momo was really confused now "I thought it was an accident."

"Yes it was an accident, but the girl I was dreaming about was you," he said lowering his voice. Momo felt the last weight lift off her. She relaxed she didn't have any concerns, or fears of either not having, or losing Toshiro. Toshiro, feeling Momo relax, pulled her closer and leaned closer to her face. Momo noticed Toshiro closing the already tight space between them and tensed up. Next thing they both knew they were caught up in a passionate first kiss.

Momo relaxed as she felt Toshiro's tongue brush up against her own and start tussling for dominance, which Momo lost. The two only broke apart from the kiss for air. Toshiro moved from her lips to her neck and ran his tongue up her neck. Sending pleasurable shivers down both there spines. Momo felt as if she were in a dream. Toshiro moved one hand up and under her shirt running his hand over her bare back, and kissed her lips. Neither wanted this to end. But when they felt Ichigo flip over to face them they decided that they better or they might wake him, and that would be awkward. So Toshiro removed his hand from her back and loosened his grip on Momo but Momo stayed pressed against his chest. "I love you," she whispered softly.

"I love you too," he said pecking her cheek, making her giggle.
