HI! SOO sorry for not updating for a long time, but i had to train for a running competition. It's been a tradition where I live for 30 years, so it's a big deal for me to compete. Now PeachySnowFan is helping me write the story too. :)
I don't own Bleach, but I do own my OC's (plus I own some of Kitten's OC's [evil snicker])
Enjoy and please review!
…
(Drop)…(drop)…(drop)…
Toshiro's brow furrowed as drops of water hit his muzzle. He slowly opened his eyes. The sun was just rising and the sky was a beautiful orange, yellow and pinkish red. The forest grass and plants were covered in morning dew and there was a mild mist surrounding them.
He sleepily yawned and looked at Momo. She seemed to be completely at peace. He sighed, glad that her life wasn't in danger anymore. He tried to get up without waking her up and succeeded. He walked a few steps and felt a headache throbbing in his head. He groaned in pain,
'Damn IT! Why do I have to get a headache today? I hope it'll disappear or I'll be even more pissy than usual.'
He walked to a shallow branched tree and drank some of the dew from the big leaves. He decided to walk to a tall hill to see in which direction they should move to get to his home. He slipped once and that got his headache even worse. He groaned angrily and stomped to the top of the hill. He remembered his grandmother saying that home is where the sun rises, meaning east.
He sighed and went to wake up Momo. He walked back to the meadow and saw that she hadn't moved from her spot under the large tree. He nudged her a few times, whispered 'Wake up', but it didn't wake her up. With his headache still as painful as hell, he lost his cool and yelled,
''WAKE UP, DAMN IT HINAMORI!'' as he hit her with his paw hard.
She screamed in surprise. She sleepily opened her eyes to see Toshiro glaring at her and tapping his left paw. She bent her ears and looked at him with big brown eyes,
''Did I do something wrong?'' she asked innocently.
He groaned and shook his head,
''No, I just have a headache and I'm pissed. Let's get going.''
She nodded and began following him. She was still half asleep and staggered a bit. At some point she noticed Toshiro was gritting his teeth and panting.
''Hitsugaya-san, isn't your headache gone yet?''
''As you can see, no!'' he growled back.
''Do you have any idea why you have a headache?''
''No, sometimes they just appear and disappear. Problem is that they're head splitting!'' He shut his eyes and stopped a bit to catch his breath. Momo looked at him worriedly,
''Hitsugaya-san, are you-''
''I'm fine, Hinamori. Let's keep moving.''
As they kept walking, they came across a few kumquat trees. Momo didn't look where she is going and bumped into one of the trees and tried to stand up only to slip on the mushy mess she made from the falling kumquats and accidentally splash some on Toshiro. He growled and wiped his face,
''Hinamori! Could you be anymore of a klutz? Watch where you're going already, damn it!''
''I'm sorry, Hitsugaya-san! I just heard some weird noise coming from that direction.'' She pointed to a clearing behind a few blueberry bushes. He narrowed his eyes and cautiously walked to the noise.
Behind the bushes was a small clearing surrounded by conifers and a few beams of sun illuminated a few spots on the soft grass. In one of those spots were two little bundles huddled together. Toshiro looked at Momo and she looked at him with big brown eyes. He slowly walked to the two bundles with Momo following him. They both looked at them and their eyes went wide.
Huddled up were to little boys. Twins to be exact, but they did have their own characteristics. One of the baby boys had lighter skin while the other had much tanner. Another difference was the clothes. The lighter skinned boy had a grey T-shirt on and white pull-on pants, but the other one had a sky blue T-shirt on and black pull-on pants. They both looked around 2 years old and they both had dark brown hair. Momo smiled,
''They're adorable!'' She whispered.
''Who cares? I wonder what they're doing here.'' He whispered back.
''Hitsugaya-san, you're being mean!'' She pouted.
''And when exactly have I been nice?'' He smirked.
She pouted, stuck her tongue at him and huffed. He responded by hitting her with his tail hard. She yelped and fell next to the two year olds. They slowly started to wake up and yawned cutely. Momo giggled,
''Come on, Hitsugaya-san, don't you think they're cute?''
''No, and let's keep moving.''
''But we can't leave them here. What if a bear or something worse comes and kills them.'' she tried to convince him.
''That won't be our problem. What'll happen to them, will happen and it won't be our concern.''
''But I don't wanna leave them here unprotected.'' She pouted.
''Hinamori, I have enough problems to deal with while you're traveling with me. I won't take these to brats with me.'' He harshly replied.
She looked sadly down,
''Am I really such a problem causer?'' She quietly asked.
''Yes, you are a hassle, now let's go.''
She then angrily stomped off to the now awake baby boys and lay down by them. Hitsugaya glared at her,
''Hinamori…'' he angrily started.
It took all of Momo's courage not to look intimidated by his cold stare. She angrily pouted and looked at him with what ever she could call a glare,
''If I'm such a problem and you won't help at least get these children back to their homes, then why do I even bother to keep going with you?''
He groaned and turned around,
''Whatever, less problems for me. Do what you want, I'm going.''
He started walking away. She looked down sadly and laid her head down,
'It's for the best. I'm just nothing but a big problem anyway.'
The boys seemed to see her sad and came to pet her. She looked at them and smiled. The boys both had olive green eyes. One of the patted her muzzle and the other one petted the side of her neck. She smiled and got up and kissed both boys on their cheeks. They giggled. She noticed the one with the grey T-shirt was looking at her tail. She smiled and swished it around. He tried to catch it, but failed. While trying to catch her tail he laughed nonstop. The other one pointed at Momo and said,
''Tag''
Momo titled her head and then understood what he wanted. She playfully began to chase the boys and tagged the boy with the sky blue shirt. He laughed and ran after his brother. He accidently pushed him and the boy with the grey shirt fell down and began crying. Momo gasped and ran over to him. He seemed to have scraped his arm. She licked it a few times, blew on it and rubbed her nose against his cheek. He stopped crying and hugged her. She smiled.
…
Toshiro wasn't too far. With his headache worse than ever, he stopped a few times and lied down.
'Hinamori is so STUPID! Who cares what happens to those brats? She's too nice.'
His head began to throb painfully and he decided to lie down until it stopped.
…
Momo was laughing as the boys were crawling around and tagging each other. Her ears perked up as she heard scurrying in the bushes. She looked over to it and saw a massive boar coming her way. Her eyes widened. That thing had to be AT LEAST the size of her old den, and her den was BIG! She looked frightened as the beast began to approach her. He stopped a few meters away from her,
''I am Omaeda, leader of the boar family in this forest. You are trespassing on our territory, state you reason for being here!'' He demanded.
''I'm just passing through.'' Momo answered.
''Really? Because you seem to be making this commotion for a while now.''
'Damn!' Momo nervously thought.
''Family! Come help me get rid of these trespassers!'' Omaeda called.
Momo took steps in front of the baby boys and looked serious. But behind her mask, she was terrified. Yes, Anica had taught her how to fight, but she couldn't hold her own against a family of boars. Especially if they were the size of their leader. A moment later, about 9 other boars appeared. Momo's eyes went wide and her mouth was a little open. They were a little smaller than Omaeda, and all of them looked at her angrily. She quickly grabbed the boys by the back of their shirts and ran o hide them.
''GET HER!'' Omaeda screamed.
Momo ran and stopped as she spotted a huge crack in a tree. She put the boys in the crack and put a few branches in front of it just in time before Omeada and his family caught up with her.
She readied herself to take them on, even if it would kill her. One of the boars snuck up behind her and pushed her harshly to the rest of the family. She yelped as the other boars kept bumping and hitting her in a circle. Their tusks scratched her and kept knocking the air out of her. Tears started dripping from her eyes and she was she punched (or pushed) around like a tetherball. When Omaeda pushed her hard withhis tusk, she screamed.
…
Toshiro was still being tortured by his headache, when he heard a pain filled scream a bit away from where he was.
'Hinamori!'
He recognized her voice right away. He forgot about his headache and began running towards the screams. He swiftly avoided all the roots and branches while making his way towards Momo's screams. When he got there, he was horrified by the site. Momo was being pushed harshly around by 9 boars and. She was injured, crying and screaming. His blood boiled at the site and he was just about ready to go on a killing spree. He attacked the biggest boar by biting him in the neck and knocking him down. Omaeda fell down and screamed in pain. Toshiro glared fiercely and then went wide eyed,
''YOU!'' He screamed.
Toshiro remembered Omaeda, because he had attacked Toshiro's niece once.
-Flashback-
Little Hikari had wondered around an unfamiliar forest and just decided to play a little. Omaeda showed up and tried to attack her. She screamed and ran away. She was very young and scared. Toshiro had gone out looking for her and followed her scent. Toshiro really liked his niece. She was nice to him and called him 'Toshi-chan' out of habit. He hated nicknames, but he only tickled her side and playfully scolded her by saying 'It's Toshiro, understood Hikari?'
Her heard her scream and rushed to her. He saw Omaeda charging at Hikari who had tripped on a root. He growled,
''WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU JACKASS?'' He yelled and lunged himself at the large boar.
The boar was caught off guard and so was tackled painfully to the ground by Toshiro. Toshiro began biting him and tearing his skin everywhere. Omaeda yelled in pain and somehow escaped with his life. Toshiro panted and went to his scared niece,
''Are you alright, Hikari?'' he asked with as soft a voice as possible for him.
''Y-Y-Yes. T-Th-Th-Thanks f-for saving m-me, Toshi-chan!'' She ran over to him and hugged him. [A./N. Don't start, I have no idea how wolves hug, so just IMAGINE! XD] Toshiro hugged her back,
''Let's go back, your parents are worried about you.''
Hikari nodded and they took off.
-End of Flashback-
''You're the wolf that attacked me a year ago!'' Omaeda yelled back.
''You son of a bitch! First you attack my niece and now you're attacking Hinamori? You really have a death wish, don't you?'' She smirked evilly and began attacking Omaeda. Omaeda escaped Toshiro's attack and stood up nobly,
''I am Omaeda, leader of the boar family in this forest, you will pay.'' He announced.
''For what?'' Toshiro asked.
''You called me a jackass and a son of a bitch, didn't you?'' He angrily screamed.
Toshiro understood right away that Omaeda was just as stupid as a piece of tree bark. He smirked evilly,
''I don't know, did I?'' he teased the idiotic pig.
''All my family members heard you, did you not, brothers?''
Just as his family were about to agree, Toshiro sent them an ice cold stare and they all remained silent. He smirked and began attacking the now pissed off Omaeda. Toshiro out-smarted him every chance he got, and there were many. With one final painful kick in the face, Toshiro finished his fight. Omaeda was totally exhausted and injured do much that he could barely breathe, while Toshiro was totally fine. He turned to the boar family, walked to the unconscious Momo and glared at them,
''Unless you all want to experience what you precious leader just went through, get the hell out of here!'' He growled.
They all squealed in fear and ran away (with one member dragging Omaeda too). Toshiro sighed and looked at Momo. Her face was covered in tears, she had multiple bruises on her sides and he was sure she would be pretty sore. He sighed,
'I shouldn't have left her alone with those children, she wouldn't have been attacked and hurt. Speaking of which, where are those two?'
He sniffed the air and the scent led him to a large crack in a tree covered by a few branches. He cleared the branches and saw the two boys looking scared. He sighed,
'She probably put them here to protect them.'
He reached his muzzle into the crack and took them out by their shirts. He walked back to Momo, grabbed her by her scurf and began carrying her to a safer place with the two boys following him. He set her down in the clearing where they found the baby boys and began licking her bruises to disinfect them. When he was finished, he check her head for any signs of injury. She didn't have any. He sighed and lied down next to her.
One of the boys walked over to him and poked him. He opened his eyes to see that boy in the sky blue shirt pointing at Momo and he had a clueless look on his face,
''Nice doggie…ok?'' he asked.
He almost smiled at the little kids innocents. Toshiro nodded and tried to go back to sleep, but the other baby boy said,
''Bad piggy's, hurt nice doggie. They mean.''
Now Toshiro really couldn't help but smile. The boys were actually kind of adorable. He laid his head near Momo and began falling asleep. He felt some weight on his stomach and saw the boys huddled on his stomach peacefully asleep. He decided to let them sleep and took a nap himself.
…
Todhiro woke up with his headache gone. He sighed in relief. He looked at Momo. She seemed to still be asleep and the boys were still huddled on his stomach. He laid his head down again and looked at the sun. Judging by the position of the sun, he slept for 40 minutes.
Momo began to stir a little and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw were Toshiro's intense turquoise eyes. She squeaked in surprise.
''Shhhh…'' Toshiro looked at the boys.
Momo looked at them too and nodded.
''You alright?'' Toshiro asked.
''Yeah…'' She dully answered.
''What's with you?'' He asked, with an eyebrow raised.
''What're you doing here?'' She quietly asked.
''What do you mean?''
''I mean, why are you here? I thought you abandoned me and went on ahead.''
He sighed,
''Hinamori, I didn't-ok, I abandoned you, but only because I was pissed from my headache and you were disobeying. I ran back when you screamed. I was pretty worried.'' He gave her a small smile.
She still looked down. He groaned,
''Look, I'll stay here with you until those boys parents or whatever come back for them, that fine with you?''
She slowly looked at him and gave a small cute smile. He smiled a little back.
The boys began to mumble a little and then they woke up. They looked around and saw that Momo was awake. Their faces lit up and they ran to her, hugging her,
''Yay! Nice doggie ok!'' One of them yelled happily.
Momo smiled and got up. The grey shirted boy poked Momo and giggled,
''Tag!'' and ran away.
She giggled and ran after the sky blue shirted boy. She tagged him, but he quickly tagged her back. She then ran to Toshiro,
''Momo, I'm not playing.'' He groaned.
''Come on, please Hitsugaya-san!'' She pleaded.
''No!''
She pouted and then smiled a sly smile. She ran over to his tail, bit it and yanked it. Toshiro screamed in surprise and pain. She giggled and put her paw on his nose,
''Tag!'' She ran away laughing.
His eyebrow twitched,
'Oh, she is gonna pay.'
He ran after her much faster, jumped her and they rolled a few times. She squealed as soon as she felt his weight on her back. They ended up so that Momo was on her back with her front paws in a kind of begging-bended position and Toshiro was hovering over her. He smirked slyly and licked her cheek. He looked at her shocked expression and chuckled by her ear,
''Your it…'' He said in a deep voice.
She was sure if she didn't her black fur on her face, she would be red as a tomato. Toshiro got off of her and ran away. It took her few moments to get her mind out of the clouds. Momo shook her head, got up and chased one of the twins. They played for a while until it got dark, and Momo caught Toshiro only once when she caught him off guard.
They were all lying in the middle of the grass and the boys were tugging on Toshiro's ears and tail. Momo was giggling, the boys were laughing their little heads off and it took all of Toshiro's self control not to flip on the tiny boys. Then they heard a female voice,
''BRAD? ERIC? Where are you boys.'' She called.
A few moments later, a short woman with black hair and light blue eyes appeared out of the bushes. Following her was a taller man with black short hair and olive green eyes. Momo and Toshiro looked at the humans,
''They must be the boys parents.'' Momo inquired.
''Yeah…push them towards their parents, Hinamori.''
The woman looked at the two wolves and then her two sleeping sons,
''Brad! Eric! My babies!'' She squealed happily and was about to run to them only to be stopped by her husband,
''Are you crazy, Vanessa? There are two wolves there, you wanna be killed?''
''But Max, I need to get our sons back!'' Vanessa cried.
Momo nudged the boys up and led them in the direction of their parents. When they were a few meters away, Momo stopped and pushed the boys a bit in their backs to get them going. Vanessa and Max were shocked at the black wolves act, but Vanessa squatted down and opened her arms,
''Boys!''
The boys looked at her and smiled,
''Mama! Dada!'' They ran to their parents. Max and Vanessa hugged their sons. Momo had already gone back to sleep by Toshiro and was a bit sad. The boys then broke free from their parents and ran over to the two wolves. They have Toshiro a hug and Momo a kiss on each side of the muzzle. Then they ran back to their parents.
''Let's go home!'' Max happily said. Vanessa nodded.
Momo sighed and laid her head on Toshiro's side, looking sad. Toshiro caught on,
''Quit being sad. They're back with their parents healthy and happy. Isn't that what you wanted?''
''It is, but I'm just gonna miss them.''
''When you'll have pups, you'll be able to play with them all the time.'' He laid his head on the ground.
''Oh yeah? And when will that be?''
''Sooner than you think…'' He mumbled.
''What?'' She didn't really hear.
''Nothing, go to sleep.'' He replied, falling asleep.
Momo pouted and closed her eyes too.
'Mou, what did Hitsugaya-san say? I didn't understand. He mumbled something, but what? I'll ask him tomorrow.' She fell asleep too.
