Sorry for not updating. I've been lazy, I confess…guilty :( And I'm sorry for the last chapter, it was sappy, but BLAME KITTEN. She fussed over me to write something like it. I'm sorry for the sappiness, so I'll just add some humor in this chapter ;)

Enjoy and please review!

…

Momo woke up feeling a HELL of a lot better than she had been feeling. Her muscles were a bit sore and some spots were a little numb, but she was confident that she could walk. She felt her neck being compressed by something and she felt pretty warm, considering the cold morning. Then the memories of yesterday flooded her memory. She winced at the memory of her condition, gulped at Toshiro glaring at her, felt sad when Toshiro threw her against the wall and said those horrible things and then smiled warmly at his apology and sleeping next to her again. Her head felt a little like the time her fox friend Rangiku gave her what humans call 'sake'. To Momo, it tasted terrible and she had a horrible headache in the morning. She was a little lightheaded right now, but she would get better. She felt Toshiro moving a bit and she felt him get up. He yawned and stretched his body. He looked at her and noticed she looked 99 times better than she did yesterday. But 99 was enough, she needed to be 100 percent for them to get going.

She looked at him with hr bright eyes and smiled a bit,

''Good Morning, Hitsugaya-san!'' She said cheerfully.

''Morning Hinamori. You feel better?'' He said, never changing from his serious demeanor.

''Yeah, I feel totally better!''

''Is that right?'' He smirked and ran forward a few meters. He looked at her and continued to smirk as he noticed her dumbfounded expression,

''I'll be the judge of that. If you can run to me here staidly, I'll believe you. But if you can't, you'll have to sleep the entire day in the cave with no whining. Understood?''

She nodded and stood up confidently. But her confidence faded a bit, feeling the slight dizziness and shaking in her knees. She could see that Toshiro was smirking at her, knowing she couldn't make it. She puffed her cheeks and took a few steps forward.

''I said run not walk, Hinamori. If you can't run, then we won't be able to keep moving today.'' He took the same steps as her, only backwards.

She huffed and began running to him. It took all of her balance not to fall over from the slight dizzy feeling in her head. It was the aftermath of the antidotes job done. Toshiro looked her over and said,

''Alright, let's get going.'' He began walking away with Momo following him.

They walked through the forest. Momo yawned a few times, but silently enough for Toshiro not to hear. But little did she know he heard every single one of them.

They came across a small stream. Momo drank a bit, but with her eyes closed, she didn't even notice that she was falling into the stream herself. She only realized it when her feet came off of the ground. Momo opened her eyes and screamed.

'SPLASH!'

Momo sat up and shook her head from the impact. She heard Toshiro laughing at her silently. A vein popped on her head and she puffed her cheeks. How dare he make fun of her. The stream was shallow, so she then turned around and swished her tail in the water, splashing Toshiro in the process. She laughed as he fell to ground, completely wet and surprised. What she didn't realize that Toshiro was as pissed as hell and was coming over to her, because of her laughing. She only noticed when he said,

''Bad move.'' And he pounced her in the water.

She squealed and moved out of the way. He landed on his feet and used his bigger tail to splash her with much more force than she had used to splash him. She screamed and fell back wards on her butt. She came back to her senses just in time to move out of another on of Toshiro's pounces. She evaded him, but hit her legs on a rock and winced. Toshiro took advantage of the moment and pounced her. She fell on her stomach and went underwater. He held her there for a moment and then put his paws on each side of her, letting her come up for air. She practically jumped up and gasped for air. She panted a bit and coughed a few times. She looked up a bit, puffed her cheeks, pouted and glared at him,

''That was mean!''

''So was you splashing me.''

''You laughed at me!''

''Because it was funny.''

''No it wasn't!''

''Oh be quiet.'' He said, putting his paw on her back making her go underwater again.

When they got out Momo shook her fur, but fell on her but from getting her head dizzy. Toshiro chuckled and shook his fur.

They continued walking until it began raining. Momo groaned. She had just gotten dry and now she was gonna be soaked again. She got an idea. It was pretty risky, but she wanted to try it. She took a deep breath and quickly crawled under Toshiro. His eyes went wide and looked at her under him. He gave her a questioning look to which she gave him a sweet innocent smile,

''I don't wanna get wet again''

He just sighed and stood still. He didn't mind standing in the rain. It calmed him. Suddenly, he heard Momo humming a peaceful melody. He closed his eyes and just listened to it. It was almost enough to make him fall asleep. When she stopped humming, a few moments later the rain stopped. She crawled out from underneath him and gave him a honey-sweet smile,

''Thank you for letting me hide under you!''

He sighed,

''Whatever''

He again continued walking. After a while of walking, Momo got bored. Momo knew that Toshiro wasn't a really talk-active person, but she wanted to talk to him a bit,

''Soo…Hitsugaya-san?''

''Hmm?''

''Ummm…how far is your home from here?''

''I don't know really, I took a different root to get to the elder, so I don't know really.''

''Oh…um...what information were you supposed to get?''

''Nothing of your importance.''

She sighed, defeated. All she wanted to do was strike up a conversation. But apparently, he loved the silence. They walked for hours, before Momo felt her stomach growl. She pouted and nervously asked,

''Uh…Hitsugaya-san?''

''Yeah, what?''

''I'm a bit hungry, can we find something to eat?''

He sighed,

''Sure. Besides, I'm getting a little hungry too.''

They walked around until they reached a meadow full of flowers. They also spotted 2 brown rabbits. They both looked at each other and nodded. The two wolves pounced the rabbits and bit down hard enough to kill the smaller beings. When they finished, Momo looked around the meadow. It was very beautiful with many different flowers. She remembered that Anica had taught the once many types of flowers. She recognized some of them; Dandelions, Oxeye Daisy, Poppy's ect.

She smiled and started walking further into the meadow. That is…until Toshiro called her back,

''Hey, Hinamori, where are you going? We need to continue walking.''

''We've been walking all day nonstop. I'm tired and wanna relax a bit.'' She pouted.

''We'll rest when the sun goes down, but for now let's-''

He was cut off by Momo pushing him off of his feet into a bunch of Poppy's. She giggled at him and playfully stuck her tongue out at him,

''You'll have to catch me to get me walking again. And before you say anything, I won't apologize either.''

With that said she took off laughing. Toshiro stood up. He thought about it and smirked,

'So, she wants to challenge me? That little fool…If that's the way she wants it, I'll show her.'

He began running after her. She managed to dodge him every time. The dizziness was all gone, so she could run as much as she wanted. They ran like that for a while until Toshiro finally caught her off guard and pounced her. He smirked victoriously,

''Well, now apologize.''

''Ok ok, I'm sorry for pushing you own like that.'' She huffed out.

He got off of her,

''Now that I caught you, let's get going already.''

''I don't think so, Hitsugaya-san!'' She smiled happily.

''And why not now?'' He groaned in annoyance.

''Because it's sundown now!''

He looked to the horizon and indeed the sun was already half down. He thought for a minute,

'That sneaky little dummy, she did this on purpose. She knew she would avoid me long enough for the sun to go down.'

He looked at her innocent little smile and groaned,

''Fine, let's get some sleep and continue tomorrow.''

With that said he went over to a tree and lied down. Then he felt something warm curled up next to him. He racked one eye open to see Momo snuggled up to his stomach happily. He sighed,

''Hinamori, what're you doing now?''

''Sleeping!'' she stated happily.

''And why are you curled up next to me?''

''Because you're warm and comfortable!'' she said, snuggling closer.

He sighed again and laid a paw over her and got to sleep himself.
