Chapter Fourteen
Moriko tossed and turned on the cool bed, then her head landing on something firm. It had a melody going to it. Thump, thump, thump. It was cooler than the other things in the room, and it went up, then down. Toushirou felt something warm go across his chest. Then something tickled his face. He opened his eyes slowly, and he saw something black across his chest. He furrowed his brow, putting his hand under the mesh of hair.
He lifted it slowly, a face forming from the hair. It was Moriko. Toushirou turned a bit pink and sighed. Toushirou pulled her into his arms and held her. Something went down his spine, a warm feeling. His fingers went down her face then down her neck.
'Am I really falling in love with you?' He asked in his mind. A small voice coughed in the back of his head.
'What about Momo-chan?' It asked in a soft voice.
' I don't know. I haven't seen her in a long time.'
'Exactly. Once you see her again, you'll figure out you love her instead of Moriko-chan.'
'But what if I love Moriko-chan instead of Momo?' He asked the small voice.
'Then let go of Momo-chan.'
'But I still care about her.' Toushirou snapped back at the voice, pulling Moriko closer to him. The voice sighed and faded away. Toushirou sighed himself, his fingers strolling down Moriko's leg. He lifted the pant leg, revealing a long sheer sock. He pulled the sock down to her ankle, pink bandages he saw. His forefinger went down her slender leg.
Moriko felt something cool crawl up her leg, she opened her eyes. She saw a long, white finger going down her calf. Moriko looked up, something was holding her. It was Toushirou, Moriko smiled. She pulled her arms out, her hand going for his hand. She hesitated, but grabbed his hand. He looked down at her, they both went a light pink.
Something light tugged in Toushirou's chest, he looked down at his chest. 'What is this feeling? Is this the feeling of love?' He asked himself. He let go of her hand, the feeling went away. He frowned, his hand pulled her sock back up her leg, then he pulled her pant leg down.
He set her back down on the bed and stood up. Moriko sighed, Toushirou strolled towards the stool with the new clothing. Moriko put her feet on the ground.
"Taicho. Don't leave me." Moriko said aloud. That phrase hit Toushirou differently than how Moriko said it. Did that mean she knew he still had something for Momo? Does that mean she want him to love her. Toushirou clutched the clothing in his arms.
Moriko sighed, she put the pressure on her right leg. Then she set her left down. Moriko winced at the pain, and slowly fumbled over to the stool. Toushirou turned around and looked at her.
"Don't walk around." He said tossing the clothing at her. Moriko frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Well I have to move around if you want me to bring Momo her food." Moriko said. Once she said Momo Toushirou sighed then smiled.
"I'll go with you. Just let me change first." Toushirou said leaving the room. Moriko sighed and undressed. She looked down at her leg, and touched it. She dressed quickly and laid back down on the bed. She clutched the cool blanket and inhaled. 'So cold, yet sweet.' She thought to herself, then the door opened. Toushirou dressed in his Captains cloak stepped in. He strolled over to the bed and took Moriko's hand. There went the warm feeling down both of their spines. She took a better grip of his hand, the two looked at each other. Toushirou pulled her up, into his arms. They both went a cherry red.
Then Toushirou lifted her off the ground, and the two went down to the infirmary, Moriko looked up at him.
"Taicho don't we need to get the dinner?" She asked.
"Nope. Someone else got it."
"Then what's the point of bringing me?"
"I want you there." He whispered to her. Moriko blushed while he chuckled. The two entered a room far down the left, the door open. They both stepped in to see Momo, laying in a bed.
"Whitey-chan!" Momo said smiling. Moriko tried to smile at her but couldn't.
"Oh Momo I wish you'd stop calling." Toushirou said with a smile. He set Moriko down onto a chair, and walked over to Momo. He wrapped his arms around her, giving Momo a small hug. Nothing. Nothing sparked in him like it did with Moriko. Well maybe something did tugged his heart. But it was a small tug.
Moriko felt like they forgot all about her, until Toushirou sat next to her. Momo looked at Moriko and smiled. The smile said 'Who are you and what were you doing here?' Moriko smiled towards her saying, 'He took me because he loves me.'
"So Whitey-chan!" Momo began.
"Whose this nice lady here?" Momo said looking towards Moriko. Toushirou looked at Moriko, who was looking at him. Toushirou blushed a bit, and looked back at Momo.
"She's part of my Squad. And she's also a close friend." He said smiling towards Moriko, she looked back at him and smiled.
"Oh I see! Then why did you carry her in here?" Momo asked in an innocent tone. Moriko rolled her eyes and opened her mouth.
"I hurt my leg from an attack." Moriko said lifting her left leg. Momo nodded her head.
"If you're hurt why don't you stay in bed?" She asked. Moriko knew where she was going. She wanted to be alone with Toushirou. Well Moriko wasn't going to let that happen. She smiled on the inside.
"I did. But since my room was busted I stayed Hitsugaya-Taicho." Moriko said looking at Momo. Toushirou flushed red and looked away. Momo looked at him and smiled.
"Is that so Whitey-chan?" She asked in a cute tone. Toushirou could only nod. 'Are they fighting over me?' Toushirou asked himself. He looked up at the two and opened his mouth.
"Alright I guess it's getting late. I'll see you soon Momo-chan!" He said grabbing Moriko's hand, lifting her off the ground. Momo waved good-bye then sighed.
"Maybe he is moving on." She told herself.
The two walked down the sleepy hall then he spoke.
"What were you doing?!" He said to her. Moriko shrugged and looked at her.
"I was just saying that I got hurt, my room was holed and I had to stay with you. Isn't the true 'Whitey-chan'?" She mocked. Toushirou sighed.
"Don't start calling me that too." He said looking down at her.
"Don't worry I won't." Moriko muttered to herself. The two strolled down the empty halls to the Squad Ten corridor. Toushirou stepped into the office space, walking to the end of the room. He opened the door and dropped Moriko onto the bed. He grabbed her shoulders, pushing her down onto the bed, pinning her down. He stared at her, they both blushed a bit.
"Don't say anything to her. Momo is really sick, you wouldn't want her to die, would you?" Toushirou asked through a sincere whisper. Moriko shook her head, 'I would love to see her die..' She thought to herself. Toushirou sighed, a gust a cool air settled onto Moriko warm face. He smiled at her and sat down on the bed.
"When are they going to fix my room?" Moriko asked crawling over to Toushirou. He looked at her a smirked.
"It already is fixed. Unless you want to stay here with me." He asked waiting for a response, Moriko blushed and looked away.
"Well if you want me to stay then I guess I will." Moriko said looking over at her Taicho. This time he blushed and she grinned, then he smiled. The two laid down their heads and fell asleep there.
And so every week the two would visit Momo for an hour or two then go back. Then Moriko's leg got better and she began to get dinner for Momo, Toushirou would be there first. They repeated the same thing until it became a daily routine.
Betrayal.
