A/N: Something big happens. So I warn you!!! Enjoy!

Chapter Eight

Moriko heard an annoying knocking, it sounded like it was coming from the door. She tried to ignore it by letting mindless thoughts flow through her head. "Why doesn't it snow in the Soul Society?" One voice said. "Why do people have to be so stupid some times?" "Why doesn't Captain Hitsugaya love me?" One small voice whispered. Moriko tried to push that thought away, but it crawled back into her mind. She thought about it. "Why doesn't he love me?" She asked herself. Moriko turned her body, facing her captain. She stared at his face, thinking negative about herself.

"He wouldn't love me because I'm just to.... hard to watch out for! I also get hurt and I need this and that. Someone needy like me doesn't deserve someone like him. So perfect, sweet, funny...always there for you." Her thoughts went on and on and on until she thought herself to sleep.

Now Toushirou on the other hand hadn't been sleeping all night. That one scene kept rolling into his head. He almost kissed her, he was so close yet so far. Was it true that Toushirou had forgotten about Momo and went for someone more.... ambitious? Moriko was always the one to talk back, asking about this and that. But he liked her mindless chatter. It gave him time to talk to someone, besides Rangiku who just went on and on about things Toushirou didn't need to hear.

......................

Rangiku didn't like commanding the men, they only stared at her chest in stead of her. She was sick and tired of them, she wanted Toushirou back. The men did the opposite of what she said, and they always bothered her at night.

Rangiku laid in her bed, sound asleep, until a loud pounding on the doors awoken her. She groaned and grabbed her zanpactou. Rangiku sat up and sluggishly went for the door.

"Oh Lieutenant-sama!" One man called.

"I finished sending those documents you wanted!" Another shouted. Rangiku rolled her eyes and opened the door.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She screamed at them, all of the men flinched.

"We're sorry.." One whispered walking away.

"We didn't mean to be so annoying. If you wanted us to leave you alone you could've said."

Rangiku looked at the one who had just spoke.

"You wanted me to tell you?! I did tell you!" She said furiously smoke coming out of her ears. The rest of the men ran away like a mouse to a cat. Rangiku slammed the door shut and went back to bed.

......................

Night was long, everyone peacefully snoring and rolling around, except for one Toushirou. He couldn't decided on who wanted more, Moriko or Momo. He was so confused with this, he looked at Moriko. She was facing him as well.

Moriko tends to talk in her sleep if something was bothering her, which something was. Her lips began to move, less than a whisper escaped her lips. Toushirou watched her lips, trying to make out the words. They she began to speak in a normal tone.

"Why don't you...." She whispered the end, Toushirou looked at her puzzled, he crawled over to her and laid down on his pillow.

"Don't what?" He asked through a hushed voice. Moriko sighed and turned over. Toushirou frowned and sat up. He fiddled with her hair, Moriko turned over again. Their faces just inches away. Moriko warm breath kissed Toushirou soft cold skin. He stared at her sleepy face, his cool hand pulled up to her warm face. He stroked the soft skin lovingly, her face twitching. Moriko felt a cool brush stroke her face, leaving a cool spot on her warm face. She opened her eyes to see Toushirou inches away from her face. They stared at each other emotionlessly. Toushirou slowly went into kiss her, but the door slammed open.

" Good Morning my love birds!!" Urahara sang. Moriko jumped at his cheery voice, while Toushirou sat up, staring at Urahara.

"Break-fast is rea-dy!" Urahara sang closing the door behind him. Toushirou got up first and headed, Moriko without thinking followed after him. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into her arms. She pecked him on the cheek and left the room. Toushirou look at her astonished, his forefinger going over the spot.

Moriko was shaking when she left the room. Why did she kiss him? And so suddenly? Moriko was confused, her finger touched her lips. They were tingling. She wanted more, but thought it would be too alarming. And besides Toushirou doesn't love her. So she thinks.

The two ate breakfast with Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Yoruichi, and Urahara of course. They all went on and on about this and that, neither Toushirou or Moriko saying a word. The two never spoke to each other the whole day until it was time to go to bed.

Moriko couldn't look at Toushirou when they were about to go to sleep, she was to scared of what he was going to say. She sat on her bedding and began to lay down. Toushirou on the other hand wanted to know why she kissed him, was it because she did love him? Or was it because she wasn't thinking straight.

Before Moriko could lay her head he grabbed her shoulder pulling her closer to his face. The two stared emotionless, not moving a bit. They stared into each others eyes, waiting for words. Toushirou's cool breath melted on Moriko's warm skin, her hot breath dissolved on the icy skin of his.

"Why?" He asked in a small whisper. Moriko looked at him, thinking of an answer.

"I-I d-don't know.." She whispered back. He looked at her and, his movements undecided. He leaned in closer to her face. His heart told him to kiss her, but her brain told him no. "What about Momo?" It said. Toushirou thought about Momo, she so sweet and caring and fragile yet she attacked him head on believing that he had killed Aizen. Did she care more about Aizen or him. Toushirou was so confused.

He then thought about Moriko. She was so fierce and so sweet at the same time. Although she could get annoying she never attacked him for anything. He didn't know who to chose, Moriko was so beautiful and so elegant while Momo was so sweet and was there since they were in the Shinigami Academy. Without thinking Toushirou pressed his lips against hers, Moriko's eyes widened, then faded. They froze like that for a few seconds until he pulled away.

Toushirou still didn't know who he wanted more, Moriko or Momo. He was in a tough dilemma. They were both so near and dear to him, but he needed to chose one.

Sly like fox, mean as an ox.
