A/N: Gah! I'm terrible! I keeping on forgetting words and letters! I'm so sorry readers. Well anyways these next few chapters will be pretty short compared to the others so beware. I'm sorry, I lied. Momo doesn't come up in this chapter, but the next few.

Chapter Nine

Moriko and Toushirou weren't sleeping well after what happened. They tossed and turned, stared at each other's pretending-to-be-asleep face, and laid there. Things flew into and out off their heads, things like "Why did I do that?" or "Does he really love me?" and sometimes "Maybe it was a pity kiss." The thought ran over and over again, flowing freely in the empty space of Moriko's mind. She couldn't take it, she sat up and shook her head.

"Go away!" She whispered to herself. The thought flooded more and more until only one voice spoke. A small yet sad voice. It spoke loud and proud, speaking its mind.

"Maybe it was a pity kiss." It said. Moriko shook her head again.

"It couldn't be?" She asked it.

"How can you be so sure?"

"B-because he's my captain! He's been with me for so long! If you can be with someone for so long and not have feelings for them then....."

"Then what?"

"Then I don't know!" Moriko sighed and laid back down, she closed her eyes trying to sleep. That small voice haunted her throughout the night. It kept saying the same thing over and over again.

Toushirou on the other hand fidget a lot after that small kiss. He couldn't stop moving around. He was so bugged by it that sometimes at night he would get up and walk around the whole shop and come back. After a small walk around the shop, Toushirou went back to the room, he sat on his bedding. He touched his lips, they were still warm from what happened. Then a small cold voice spoke to him.

"Why did you do that?" It asked innocently.

"I don't k-know.."

"Is it because you love her?"

"I don't know.."

"What about Momo-chan?"

"I'm just confused."

"Well you have to chose one of them don't you?"

"I know. But who?"

"Well if you can't decide then you don't get neither of them."

"But I want one of them."

"Well then pick one."

"I don't know who!"

"Then no one for you."

"Shut up."

"That's not very nice."

"I don't care. Leave me alone."

"If you say so." The voice said, echoing away. Toushirou looked over at Moriko. She was asleep. He wanted to go over there and touch her, but he didn't feel it was right. He laid his head down. Moriko turned over, their faces looking at each other. Moriko didn't open her eyes when she felt a cool breath peel away on her face. His finger slowly made its way up to her face. His cool fingers touched her warm face, then went down a bit to her lips. Moriko felt the something cool run over her lips, she opened her eyes. It was Toushirou. They stared at each other for a long time, until Urahara stepped in.

"Oh isn't this just precious!" He exclaimed.

"Breakfast is ready!!" He said closing the door behind him, leaving them alone again. They stared at each other then got up. They ate breakfast, killed some hollows, and repeated the whole thing over again.

Speechlessness, nonsense, nothing.
