Marrying The Wrong Girl
Chapter ten
Info you need to know: thinking "talking"
Recap: "I like you, Momo-chan." Toshiro murmured and before she could respond Toshiro closed the minuscule gap between them so that her lips were otherwise occupied. Momo's eyes widened at the fact that Toshiro Hitsugaya, the Ice Prince was kissing her!
A few seconds later though she closed her eyes and melted. Her lips moving in synch with his and for a few moments the two of them were in pure euphoria. They were in their own little bubble. In their own little world and for a few moments nothing was wrong. Everything was just right and felt right.
They were too wrapped up in their own world that neither of them noticed the person hiding nearby. Lurking in the shadows a person's eyes widened as she saw Toshiro kiss Momo! How dare Momo steal her man. The person was of course Karin; the one Toshiro (in her mind only) loved and was going to marry soon.
She somehow kept in her scream and managed not to throw a tantrum. Though she very much wanted to. She just witnessed her fiancée saying he liked Momo and then to top it off he kissed her. But the worst part was that Toshiro had never kissed Karin like that before and that hurt. Boy, did it hurt. But of course this was Karin so she took her hurt, turned it into to anger and hatred for Momo and then plotted her revenge.
Momo Hinamori, you're going to pay for touching my man! Not to mention learn that if I can't have Toshiro-kun then no-one can! Karin thought viscously to herself and then she stalked away. Toshiro and Momo still hadn't noticed her and she kept it that way. For now.
Karin smirked evilly as she sort out her friends. She was mad and full of hatred towards Momo. Not a good combination at all. She was going to get her revenge on Momo Hinamori if it was the last thing she did. Karin smiled again, getting her revenge was going to be the last thing. For Momo that was.
Momo's POV
The rush of warmth made contact with Momo's lips. It was skin against skin. Momo had felt her skin before, a finger touching her lips. It was comforting since her senses knew its own touch, but when Toushiro's lips made contact with Momo's... it was different. Momo's senses went on full alert; they were unfamiliar with the contact. Momo knew who was kissing her. Her sight told her this. Her stomach felt like a million of butterflies were fluttering around, was this what happens when someone kisses you?
To Momo it felt like minutes, hours, days, months, before the icy prince detached his moist lips from hers. Momo opened her eyes and stared into the mesmerizing eyes of the ice prince himself. Everything was just right... But why, why does it feel so wrong? Momo wondered. Toushiro had the same thoughts running through his head. He felt like hitting himself on the head. He had messed things up. It had seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but now when the deed was done, he was left with silence and awkwardness.
For what seemed like years, Momo finally blinked. It was almost like she had realized what they had done. She shuffled to the side, snapping Toushiro out of his trance, his expression showed realization. He knew what was going to happen next, and his hand flew up to grab the summer yukata. Sadly, he missed by inches and the girl he kissed fled from him while he watched with sad eyes.
Why? How? How could I let Toushiro kiss me like that? He's an engaged man! Momo thought, she was running, running away from Toushiro. She didn't care where her legs were taking her as long as she was far away from Toushiro.
Momo's loud footsteps echoed on the concrete. She didn't hear any footsteps chasing after her so safely she assumed that the prince hadn't gone after her. Momo stopped in a courtyard. She was panting; her heart beating fast against her ribcage, partly from running but also from the close intimacy just minutes prior. Her hand automatically rose to her chest; tightening it into a fist. What was that feeling? It hurts...
~20 minutes later~
Momo had stood at the front of a door for 10 minutes, debating whether she should knock or not. When she reached a decision, she would change her mind immediately. Why was this so hard?
All she had to do was to knock on the door and set him straight; though it wasn't as simple as it sounded. He would want to know how she felt about him; he would want to know why she kissed back. Momo felt like dying, she was that scared. The brunette struggled to hold back a cry that was forcing its way up her throat. Something wet was forming in her eyes, so Momo used her hand to wipe it away, but they continued to form at their own accord.
It hurts too much. Black spots started covering her sight. What's happening to me? Momo thought worriedly. The girl swayed to the side as if she were drunk. All of a sudden the blackness swallowed her vision and the last thing she heard and felt was a sharp pain on the left side of her body and a *thud* before she finally slipped out of conscious.
Toushiro's POV
The ice prince walked lifelessly to his room. He had ran after the runaway brunette a few minutes after she left, but a few minutes were all it took for said brunette to escape. After searching almost every room he could, he gave up trying to find her. For now. Hitsugaya's footsteps echoed throughout the empty corridor, step by step. He was lucky he hadn't seen Karin yet; he wouldn't be able to take her pathetic whining.
Not participating enough for the wedding was one of his major issues, Karin had said. A thought came to Toushiro's head. Was this wedding going to happen at all? He mentally searched his head for answers. Nothing. Toushiro punched the wall beside him and let out a growl of frustration. Why was this so confusing? My life is already planned out for me, I will marry Karin and I'll become king. That is what's going to happen, Toushiro thought angrily. His mouth turned into an upside down U and his eyes contain a forlorn look. He knew what his future had in store for him but... what about Momo?
Karin's POV
Karin had been storming around the halls looking for someone to take her frustration on. She felt herself heating up from the anger boiling inside her. Karin never thought Toushiro would fall for such an ugly girl. Well, in her eyes, she was so much better for Toushiro. Karin knew that she would have to keep Momo and Toushiro as far as possible, if she still had any chance of marrying him. Toushiro will be mine, Karin thought and she marched off into the direction of Toushiro's bedroom.
A tear slid down Karin's cheek. Cheating was never okay; no matter who the person was, cheating was never okay. Karin had always been a strong, confident person. No one would ever try to hurt her, mainly because they were too scared of her. She angrily wiped her eyes with one hand and punched the wall with the other, releasing her anger and pain. Why did he choose her? I won't have it!
Karin had finally reached the end of the hall. She reached the corner where she was 10 steps away from his quarters. 8 steps from a motionless figure on the ground. Karin's first reaction was to help her. She may be cold and intimidating but she wasn't the one to not care about someone who was struggling on the ground. Breaking into a fast-paced walk, she reached the figure. From what Karin could tell she was a female, around her height. The person who collapsed was facing down so Karin couldn't see who it was. Quickly, Karin rolled her over so she could see her face which was covered by strands of hair. Shock flashed in her eyes. This... this was the girl Toushiro had been kissing.
The sadness in Karin's heart was replaced with a strong, fiery fury. She suddenly felt hatred towards the girl who had stolen her man. Karin hated her and the bitch was in her arms. She blinked once and then twice; not knowing what to do. This girl was passed out in her arms and Karin was all for getting her the help she needed. But now... what was she supposed to do? Reacting with her emotions Karin stood up and walked away, leaving the still unconscious girl on the floor. She walked over to the servants' quarters; her eyes located the first girl she saw and Karin started yelling at her.
"You! You come with me right now!" Karin barked; and she stormed off with the poor girl trailing behind. The girl looked frightened. She turned her head to look at the room full of servants. All had looks of sympathy plastered over their faces.
Toushiro's POV
Toushiro had reached his room. Nothing was out of the ordinary; all he thought was how quiet it actually was. It was something he liked, it was something that he enjoyed, it was something that hadn't happened in over 3 years. If only it stayed this way, Toushiro thought as he closed his eyes and fell backwards onto the bed. It was comforting and bouncy like it always was. He remembered how easy life was when he was younger. You didn't have to worry about politics, laws, marrying, putting out a wrong step. He wanted to be a kid again
A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. He shot up and thought -no he hoped- it was Momo. Hoping the curiosity didn't show in his voice, Toushiro mentally prepared the two simple words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Come in."
Three seconds after the prince's reply, the doorknob started to rattle, confirming the unknown visitor was attempting to enter the door. The door finally opened, and Toushiro's eyes watched the door open completely. He hoped that the brunette beauty called Momo would appear under the door arch, but his hopes were diminished when he saw a maid with dirty blonde hair and green eyes staring at him.
"Hitsugaya-sama, I am so sorry to disturb you," the maid said while bowing at the same time.
"It's fine, what is it that you need?"
"I was asked to give you this note from a Hinamori Momo," the maid said respectfully. She held the note in both her hands and already had her arms stretched out for the prince to claim what he owned.
Toushiro took the letter from the maid's hands. He tried to show indifference but inside he was excited about the letter.
"Thank you, you can go now," the prince said before turning his body away from the maid. The maid bowed respectfully even though Toushiro didn't notice at all. The girl made her way to the door and left, leaving the prince with his letter.
It seemed like forever until Toushiro actually did something. He felt his hands shaking slightly as they began moving, unfolding the piece of paper. It was only then that he realized he had been holding his breath the entire time. He exhaled and started reading the neat handwriting written on the paper.
At first Toushiro skimmed through it. Then he re-read it, this time thoroughly. At first he didn't understand why Momo was saying this stuff, but then bit by bit Toushiro realized what had happened. His breathing hitched and in a low whisper he spoke words that only he could hear.
"Oh Momo... why did you do this."
