AN: sorry for the long wait. I wanted this chapter to be perfect but it's been so long I had to post.

Chapter 14

"We need to talk."

Tomo crossed her arms and leaned against the window.

"What could you possibly have to say to me?" she scoffed.

Momo scratched at his cheek nervously.

"You wanted to talk to me too?" He asked.

Tomo sighed, "Yeah. I think you owe me an explanation."

"You're right," Momo agreed. "I wasn't really fair to you."

"That's an understatement," Tomo growled. "But we have class to go to. Is this really the best time?"

Momo looked crestfallen as Tomo pushed by him in order to get to class.

"I thought you wanted to talk?" Momo called.

"I did," Tomo replied. "But looking at your face is making me too mad!"

Tomo turned and hurried off, her heart beating quickly and a lump forming in her throat. She really did want to talk to Momo. She really did want to hear his explanations. There was a hope she held out that maybe he still wanted her as much as she wanted him, but she didn't want to be weak.

No, she wouldn't let him see her like this. She wouldn't let him know she was a wreck. Her nerves were already getting the best of her. She was trembling violently despite her best effort to control her feelings and she knew she couldn't go to class in this state. Tomo made a turn down the hall and ran up the stiars toward the rooftop hoping she'd have at least a moment alone.

Tomo pushed open the heavy door and squinting as the sun poured into the dark stairwell and bathed her in it's warm light. She swung the door open wild, embracing the warmth on her cheeks and face and hair. Feeling a little dejected she crossed over to the fence lined edge, arranging her thoughts.

What was it that she wanted from Momo again? There was nothing he could give her and Tomo was just beginning to convince herself of that when she heard the roof door slam open. Heavy footsteps approached her and Tomo didn't have to turn around to know it was Momo.

"Tomo-chan," Momo began. "I thought you were going to class."

Tomo shrugged, "I wouldn't be able to think even if I did."

Momo stood beside her, looking down at the school grounds below. Nobody was outside except for a few late students running in through the gate. Class already started.

"Oh look it's Echizen," Momo pointed at a small figure walking in through the gate.

"I'm not surprised to see him here late. You guys didn't have practice this morning," Tomo laughed.

"Yeah. I should have went over to his house and woke him up. I kind of feel guilty now," Momo grinned.

Tomo rolled her eyes and laughed, "I think Ryoma's attendance record would thank you if you did."

She turned her head to look up at Momo and found his eyes on her.

"Tomo-chan--" Momo reached out a hand and touched her cheek softly.

"Ta,takeshi--" Tomo almost melted in his touch.

"I'm really sorry. You know that?" he asked, leaning forward a little and closing the gap between them.

Tomo's mind screamed for her to pull away but she was trapped by the soft look in his eyes and the warmth of his calloused fingertips against her now rosy cheeks. She couldn't help but blush as his lips neared and her mind closed to reason. Her eyelids dropped in expectation of the one thing that could both save and break her in a single instant.

A kiss from Takeshi Momoshirou.

Momo's lips brushed lightly over the younger girl's in a gentle kiss that to anyone else would seem full of meaning. Tomo loved it but when Momo deepened it, wiggling his tongue between her parted lips, she found herself hating the implications. It meant she was weak and in his power and it was so wrong. Oh so wrong. Her arms flew up wrapping around his neck. She deepened the kiss with a moan of appreciation and finally after what seemed like an eternity the separated.

"Takeshi--" she whispered and he whispered her name back.

"Tomoka--"

Suddenly the fog of the kiss cleared and Tomo became painfully aware of his strong arms wrapped around her waist and her arms thrown around his neck. She became aware of their chest pressed together and his heavy breathing.

"Takeshi!" Tomo pulled away sharply. "You-- How could you do that!?"

She wiped her lips with the back of her arm violently.

"What?" Momo asked.

"You-- you kissed me!"

"And you kissed back."

"That's not the point! You have a girlfriend!"

"I do?"

"Don't play stupid with me! You have a girlfriend! Ryoma told me all about you and Kiyoko-buchou!"

Momo paled.

"Tomo-chan! You mustn't understand!"

"Understand what? Understand that you were cheating on me with Kiyoko buchou behind my back for god knows how long. Then you make Ryoma, one of my best friends keep it a secret from me. Then you dump me for no reason whatsoever. I still have no idea what that was even about since we never talked about anything or any troubles so clue me in please! Oh let's not forget the whole dumping me and then immediately getting with your little chick on the side and having me find out through Horio of all people!" Tomo blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall and continued, not letting Momo get a word in. "But that's not even the worst of it! The worst of it is that no matter what I still think of you and I feel like even though you're the source of it all you're the only person that can make things right again."

There. She finally said it.

"Tomo-chan," Momo began, stepping closer to the girl and touching her shoulder. She violently shrugged his hand away. "Tomo-chan I understand that you must really hate me right now but hear me out. I didn't dump you because of Kiyoko-chan."

Tomo narrowed her eyes at his use of such a familiar term towards her much hated Buchou.

"Ryoma's right that I did cheat on you with her and I'm really sorry about it. I really am!"

"Then why-- why did you just leave me?" Tomo sniffed.

"Tomo-chan, I was so afraid when you told me you were pregnant. All I could think was that I'm too young for this. I'm too young for a family and then there was Kiyoko. Tomo-chan, Kiyoko-chan's pregnant."

"What!?"

"I didn't know what to do. I really liked you but she was really pregnant! She wanted me to dump you so that we could get together and she would introduce me to her family. I was really stupid to go along with it all. I don't like her at all like that even if she is pregnant I'd rather be with you."

"You're an idiot!" Tomo growled, moving away and creating an even bigger gap between them.

"I don't expect you to forgive me for what I did but I knew it would be wrong to date Kiyoko when I obviously still really like you so I broke up with her."

Tomo was confused. What was she supposed to feel? Was that why Kiyoko buchou was crying in the club room that morning? Did Kiyoko and Momo just break up and the cold horror of becoming a single mother was creeping up and choking her? Tomo couldn't help but feel sorry for the other girl. She couldn't wish for anything worse to happen and yet Tomo was also confused for her compassion. Kiyoko was the enemy, wasn't she?

"Tomo?" Momo asked, obviously uncomfortable by her silence.

"Takeshi-kun I don't know what to say or how to feel," Tomo said, her head cast down and her voice a slight whisper.

"What do you mean?" Momo asked.

"Why did you start sleeping with her in the first place?"

"Tomo-- I--"

Tomo sighed and turned away from him, heading for the door.

"I really loved you but I don't think it's worth forgiving you."
