Chapter 5
Momo sits on the bench looking around irritably. "There's simply nothing to do! Absolutely nothing!" She shouts at no one. Who could hear her anyways? She was too far away from any form of civilization for it to matter anyways.
"I wonder how Toshiro's doing right now."
~Flashback~
Momo was walking around aimlessly, bored out of her mind. No one was friends with her, no one talked to her, and she didn't know why. She had no one in the Soul Society to call her friend or family. She was entirely alone. She spent her days walking around with no particular destination.
One fateful day she saw a small boy who appeared to be a year or two younger than her. She was about to run the other direction so the boy wouldn't see his small voice stopped her.
"You look like me," he said, barely above a whisper.
"No I don't," she giggled. "I'm a girl! You're a boy! We look nothing alike."
"That's not what I meant," the small boy pouts.
"Then what did you mean?" She questions sitting down next to him. Normally when she say someone she would be running the other direction, in fear of them doing something unpleasant, like everyone before had done.
"I mean your eyes."
Momo cocks her head to the side curiously. "My eyes?"
"Yes, your eyes," he nods. "They're sad, and alone, just like mine."
"I'm not sad," she whispers even though she knows that's a lie.
"Oh," he whispers back.
"What's your name?" She asks him timidly.
"Toshiro."
"I'm Momo," she replies smiling at him. "From this day forward, we're friends, okay? Friends forever."
~End Flashback~
Momo sighs remembering the day she met Toshiro. "I promised him, friends forever, and then I go ahead and fake die. Agh! This is so stupid!"
"What's stupid?"
Momo turns around quickly to see Kira standing behind her. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" She shouts swatting at his arm.
"Since when did you get so aggravated?"
"I'm not," she mutters. But even as she says that she knows she's lying. She's been so stressed these past couple of months. Because she blames herself for the way Toshiro is ending up. While Toshiro is rotting away down there Momo can do nothing to help him, and she thinks that is entirely her fault.
AN: So this Chapter is entirely too short, but I wanted to get this out there because it's been like, over a month since my last Chapter! So yeah, I hope you enjoyed the short Chapter. Reviews are loved. :3
