HEY GUYS! THANKS 4 READIN' THE LAST CHAPPY! URESHI!...

Momo gently let the boy out of the embrace and watched as he got up. First, he seemed emotionless but then was filled with anger and rage as his fist went flying into Yukiko's face. The twin fell back into a desk and blood started to drip out of his nose.

"SHIRO!" Hinamori quickly pushed her housemate aside before trying to help his brother up but he only wrapped his hands around her neck.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Can't… breathe…"

"Toushiro would NEVER hurt me! WE PROMISED! WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?"

"I-I-I…"

"TELL ME NOW! OR I'LL-"

"YUKIKO!" Shiro quickly ran to Momo's aid and pushed the twin, who dropped the girl in the process but Shiro was quick enough to catch her just before she hit the floor. Rangiku took the female from the male's arms.

"You okay?" Matsumoto asked, concern smothering her tone. Hinamori just nodded her head as she caught her breath. Large, red bruises in the shape of hand marks covered her neck. Tears of fear dripped out of her eyes as she watched the scene, unable to do anything.

"Toushiro didn't hurt you dick! I did!"

"What?"

"We may share the same soul and I'm not sure if he know I exist but we're both very different people!"

"I'm his brother! His TWIN brother!"

"We both have no idea what happened to you after you were gone but he NEVER gave up on you! Living without you there was like HELL for him!"

"And WHO THE HELL are YOU?"

"THAT'S-"

Shiro's sentenced stopped half way through his throat. Murmurs filled the room which turned to frightened gasps as the boy collapsed onto the floor.

"Shiro-chan!" Momo quickly laid her housemate's head on her lap and checked if he was okay.

"WHAT IS THIS COMMOTION?!" Mrs Ramasy's shrill voice filled the room. She first saw the mess. Then Hitsugaya. Turning her head, she saw Hinamori holding another Hitsugaya in her lap. What on Earth?

"What on Earth is the matter, Mrs Ramasy?" The principal, Mr Yamamoto stepped into the classroom and his eyes widened. He then slowly turned his neck to look at Momo and Rangiku. "Ladies, what is the meaning of this?"

Hinamori squeezed Hitsugaya's hand as she eagerly waited for him to wake up from his slumber. He'd gone under a lot of stress and was transferred to the sick bay while Ukitake was talking with Mr Yamamoto about what'd just happened.

'Toushiro… what happened?... I want to help you… I want to get you out of this mess…'

Tears started to form in Momo's coffee-coloured eyes and dripped onto the white blanket which she soon buried her face in. Sobs filled the room as her arms subconsciously hugged Hitsugaya's arm in a tight hug.

"I wish I were your tear so that I can be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks and die on your lips…"

Hinamori looked up to see her housemate awake and weakly smiled, "That's the weirdest pick up line I've heard this week."

"You mean the only pick-up line you've heard this week."

"Yea, I guess."

"You wanna know one that's worse?"

"Fine, throw me one."

"If you were a piece of booger in my nose, I'd pick you first."

The girl burst out laughing as she quickly wiped away her tears. She looked into Hitsugaya's eyes and smiled. She hadn't felt this relaxed in AGES.

'She's kinda cute when she laughs… no, No, NO! WHAT THE HELL?...'

"Hey, Toushiro, you okay?"

"Yea… So… what happened with him?"

"To tell the truth, I'm not really sure but Ukitake's in Mr Yamamoto's office."

"Do you know what they're talking about?"

"No, sorry…"

"Where's Matsumoto?"

"She's in class…"

"Oh… ok… It's just that I got a text message from Gin saying that he'd be coming tomorrow…"

"Gin?"

"Her childhood friend and boyfriend who's apparently in his second year in Uni."

"I never knew she had a boyfriend…"

"What, you jealous?"

"NO!" Momo pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Hitsugaya just chuckled at the sight before their eyes met again. This time, they burned into each other. Hinamori wasn't sure if this was an awkward or comforting silence but to Toushiro's disappointment, she broke it.

"Speaking of which… Isn't your birthday in five days?..."

"Yea, on the last day of school…"

"Where we get let out at 12pm instead of 3:20?"

"Yea…"

"That's kinda nice…"

A lot seemed to be happening in the next few days as firstly, there were rumours going around about Toushiro being a two timer with him being gay with Yukiko and going out with Momo. They knew where people got the first rumour from but neither of them or their friends had any idea of how the second one did but they concluded it on when Yukiko yelled, "But then you squirmed your way out of the mess and found some… ROTTEN GIRL to replace me!"

Secondly, Rangiku's boyfriend, Gin arrived in town. Momo didn't find him at all bad to be around with until she walked in on him making out with Matsumoto after school on the day he arrived in the printer room. She couldn't do anything but stare at the couple, frozen on the spot and thinking this was normal until her eyes landed on the sleeves of Rangiku's tank top hanging off her shoulders. From then, she was starting to feel uncomfortable around him even though she had no problem hanging around Matsumoto.

Thirdly, there was a LOT to prepare for Hitsugaya's birthday (which he had no idea about that anyone was planning on doing anything) as Hinamori and Ukitake were planning to throw a party. Rangiku, Gin and Toushiro's friends, Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, Shuhei Hisagi and Ikkaku Madarame were also going to help.

Meanwhile the guys were hanging out, choosing what music to play, Matsumoto'd dragged Momo out of the house all the way to the shopping mall. It wasn't as large as the one back in Hinamori's home town but it had great shops.

"And why are we here?" Momo inquired, gazing at the flashy windows around the two.

"What are you wearing to Toushiro's B-Day?"

"I dunno… maybe just a pair of jeans and… something?"

"NO! It's his BIRTHDAY! You should look like eyecandy for once!"

"What? No!"

"Why?"

"I don't like feeling exposed!"

"Well, who DOES?"

"Those girls who walk around the street wearing nearly nothing!"

"Who'd do that?"

At that exact moment, a woman in her late 30's walked past the two wearing a thin, black boob tube that just covered her nipples and tight, gold short-shorts which showed off a lacy, red g-string. (AN: Me and my friends ACTUALLY saw this at the beach and it scared the shit out of us coz she was all wrinkly) Hinamori then turned and looked at her senior with her eyebrow lifted and a look reading, "THAT was what I meant…"

"Everyone has their own definition of exposed when it comes to what they wear!"

Rangiku totally got Momo with that one. Even though she didn't want to admit it, it was a true fact. It was just that… what if Hitsugaya thought she was a whore or something? What would she do then?

"What are you so worried about?" Matsumoto asked, making Hinamori yelp and jump. "Geez! That REALLY makes me wonder what you were thinking about!"

"N-nothing…"

"Maybe…" The big-busted female leaned in over Momo's shoulder and breathed, "Toushiro Hitsugaya?..."

"AH! It's not that!"

Rangiku only laughed at Hinamori's blush, which was competing with the colour of the woman's g-string from earlier.

"Trust me, I found a dress and he'll like it!"

SOZ… THINGS MIGHT BE GOIN' A LITTLE BIT FAST BUT, HEH, I GOT A MATHS TEST 2MORROW… LAWL… THANKS 4 READIN'! REVIEW PLEASE!...
