Toshiro x Momo : You love me! You do, right?

chapter 5

Toshiro sees that Momo is just staring at him. He also notices that she starts blushing.

"Mo-mo? Momo? Momo so is it true?...What you said is true...that you ... love me?"

Momo just stares at Toshiro. She looks down for a few seconds and starts looking left and right and runs off.

"Momo!"

Toshiro wonders why she ran off and decides to go after her.

"Huff...Huff...Huff...Why? why did Toshiro had to be right be behind me? I don't want to talk to him right now... especially since I said that I love him! I am total clutz!"

Momo is still running and when she looks back she sees Toshiro chasing after her. Momo quickly goes behind one of the barracks hiding from Toshiro.

"Huh? Where is Momo I saw her go this way but...now I lost her..? I'll try going this way."

Momo sees that Toshiro took a different direction. Momo walks to her room fast. She is panting very hard because of the running. She accidently bumps into Renji along the way. Renji is surprised to see her but didn't expect she would look all tired.

"Momo? Momo whats wrong ?"

"I..uh...ac..ac..cident..ly..told T-Toshiro...no ...Toshiro...heard...uh..."

Momo was too tired to explain. Just then they heard someone calling her name.

"MOMO! MOMO! MOMO!" It was Toshiro. Momo scared, quickly grabbed the front of Renji's black kimino and standed right close to him trying to hide from Toshiro. Renji got surprised when he saw her face with tears running from eyes down to her cheeks.

"Ple...please...don't let T-Toshiro see me! please!"

Renji was surprised in what Momo asked him to do. He didn't understand her situation but didn't like that she was crying so he did what she told him to do. He got Momo and carried her onto his arms. He looked back to check to see if Captian Hitsugaya was looking his way. After checking , he holded Momo tight his arms and started running. He made many turns around many barracks so just in case Captian Hitsugaya saw him he would lose sight of him.

Toshiro hopped on top of roofs of barracks hoping he would spot Momo anywhere. Just then he noticed Renji running around a corner and ran left around another corner of the barracks . Looked like as if he was going in zig zags. Toshiro decided to ask Renji if he seen Momo without knowing that Renji is carrying Momo. As he went o see Renji he lost sight of him in where he was. Toshiro looked around and then spotted Renji turn a corner of the baracks and as Toshiro quickly ran to see Renji he dissapeared again. Toshiro quickly ran until he saw Renji again. Once he spotted him he followed him and lost sight of him again. Toshiro started wondering why was Renji was making so many turns.

Renji kept running making many different turns around the many barracks. Just then he heard his name being called.

"Renji! Renji!" Without looking back he recognized the voice was Captain Hitsugaya. "Hey! Renji! Renji! I need to ask you something! Please stop!" Renji ignored him and kept running makng more turns and taking diffferent paths in hoping to lose Captain Hitsugaya. After he made a turn a barrack he accidently bumped into Rukia.

Rukia fell to the ground and when looked up she saw Renji. "Renji! Watch where your going!" "Shhh Rukia!" Rukia didn't want to shush until she noticed that Renji is carrying Hinamori in his arms. "Rukia I need your help. `I don't know much of the details of what is going on either but please take Momo to your place and don't let Captain Hitsugaya near her or let know she is with you please. Please do this for Momo." Renji handed over Momo to Rukia. Momo was sleeping. As she had Momo in her arms she agreed to help Renji. Renji told her to hurry and get away because Captain Hitsugaya wll be apear any second. Rukia hurried and took her own routes and paths to get as far as where she was.

Renji went looking for Captain Hitsugaya so he can stall him. He heard his name being called again. Captain Hitsugaya was a few feet behind him now. "Renji!" "Oh uh hello Captain Hitsugaya is there something you need?" "Yes I need to know where Momo is?" "Sorry Captain but the last time I saw Momo was at the barracks where her room is." "Oh I see. If you see Momo please inform me." "Okay but why are you looking for her?" There was a long pause. "There is something I need to tell Momo. Something very important." "Oh uh then I will tell you when I see her." "Thank you Renji" "Anytime Captain Hitsugaya"

Rukia was heading to her room carrying Momo. "Rukia! Shouldn't you be sleeping? Its night you know!" Rukia turned around to see it was her captain. Captain Ukitake. "Oh Hello Captain. Yes its night but I have something to do right now." "Oh so I am guessing what you have to do has to do with Hinamori there." "Yes. I don't know much of the details but all I know that I can't have Captain Hitsugaya near her or know where she is." "Oh I see." "Could you please not let Captian Hitsugaya know where she is please." "Well of course but I want to know what is going on later, okay?" "Yes Captain!" After that Rukia headed to her room carrying Momo.

Toshiro went to Momo's room but she wasn't kept looking for her everywhere but couldn't find her. He decided to give up and look for her in the morning. He headed to his office until he heard noises on the roof of his office. He saw that Rangiku , Shuhei , and Captain Kyoraku were all drunk and being noisey. He decided to let them be since he already is exhausted from running around. He sat down in his desk thought about Momo.

I wish I had a chance to talk to her. It has to be true. What she said just has to be true.

Toshiro smiled knowing that it is true. Momo does love him. He took out the star keychain holding into it his hands and rests his head on his desk. Can't wait to give it to her tomorrow.

Meanwhile Renji was racing to Rukia's room. Once he went into her room he found Momo sleeping while Rukia was putting a blanket over Momo. "How is she doing?" "She is just sleeping. Hey can you now tell me whats wrong with Momo?" "Well I don't know much either but I am guessing Momo must've accidently told Toshiro that she liked him or something" "Maybe or what else you think it might be?" "Nothing I can think of." Just then there is a knock on Rukia's door. Rukia stands right behind the door. "Who is it?" "Its me Jushiro and don't worry I don't have Toshiro with me I promise." "Come in Captain Ukitake" Captain Ukitake goes inside ans sits right near where Momo is resting. He takes out some candy from inside hs sleeve. "You can tell Momo she can eat these when she wakes up , okay?" "Yes Captain Ukitake."

Captain Ukitake looks at Renji "So what is going on with Momo and Toshiro? Did something happened between them?" "Well sir I still don't know much details myself all I know is that Momo really wanted to be away from Captain Hitsugaya" "Oh I see. Well I guess we will have to wait until Momo wakes up then" Right after Captain Ukitake said that Momo wakes up by putting her head up and rubbing her eyes. Momo looks around wondering where she is. Captain Ukitake smiles at her and says " Well hello did you get a good rest?"

Momo looked outside the window noticing that it is still dark."...why am I ?..." Oh yeah...I accidently told Toshiro I love him and ran away after that...

Rukia , Renji , and Captain Ukitake notice that Momo starts putting both of her hands on her mouth and tears start coming down from her eyes. Rukia hurried to Momo and hugged her. Momo holded the front of Rukias kimino. "There , there , Momo don't cry" Momo holded tighter to Rukia's kimino "I just c-can't...I...I..can't face T-T-To-To-shi-shiro...I can't! I can't and...I don't think...I...ever will..." Momo began crying even more. Renji walked up to sit next to Rukia and patted Momo's head. "So I am guessing...you told Captain Hitsugaya that you love him , right?" "Yes...but it was an accident !"I wanted to tell him at the right moment but...'

Everyone in the room got quiet except Momo who was crying. Captian Ukitake got the candy for Momo and handed it to her."Momo you shouldn't be too scared facing Toshiro. It will all be okay I am sure of it. He is not gonna stop seeing you. He is not gonna start avoiding you, He is not gonna stop being your friend. You shouldn't worry because Toshiro isn't like that , okay?" Momo moved back from Rukia and started hugging her knees while her head was down with the candy right next to her. "But Toshiro likes a girl who he wants to be more than friends with so I can't face him" Everyone looked puzzeled thinking how is that possible then Renji decided to ask. "Are you sure he likes someone already , Momo?" "Yes he told me himself that he wanted to be in relationship with a girl of who he is friends with" "Everyone just stared at Momo. They all knew it couldn't be another girl because they know that Captain Hitsugaya's only friend who he gets well along with has to be Momo. Evryone decided to think hard about any other girls who Captain Hitsugaya could have gotten along well and is friends with.

After thinking hard they couldn't think up anybody else except Matsumoto ,they knew it can't be her because Matsumoto had her own childhood friend that she loves and that is Gin. Ukitake patted Momo's head "How many girls have you seen that are very close to Toshiro?""Huh...uh...?" Momo coudn't think up of any girl. She thought of Rangiku but she was just his Lieutenant. "I can't think up of any girl except Rangiku" "Well he couldn't fall for Rangiku since everyone knows that she is in love with Gin." "Yeah" Momo kept on thinking until she went to sleep. Rukia tucked her in. Rukia, Renji, and Ukitake thought up a plan to get Momo and Toshiro talking together. After thinking up the plan Ukitake went to his room to sleep. Renji stayed in Rukia's room but slept across from them. Rukia slept right next to Momo.

Its Morning time and Toshiro was already up taking a shower. He wanted to smell nice and good today becuase he was gonna tell Momo how much he loves her and give her the star keychain. He was feeling vey confident.

I can't wait to see you , Momo!

Meanwhile Renji and Rukia were already up to start the plan. Ukitake came in to check on them and saw Momo still sleeping. Rukia moved the curtains letting the sun in. It was bright that Momo woked up. "Rise and shine Momo is time to get up!" Momo stretched her arms high. "What time is it?' "Breakfast time! Now what would you like?" "Sorry but I am not in the mood to eat." "Oh okay...uh would you like Renji and I to take your room?" "Yeah"

Momo was very tired she couldn't stop thinking of Toshiro. While Rukia was helping Momo do her hair messy hair Renji and Ukitake were outside Rukia's room disussing the plan. "Okay I will help take Momo to her room while you go get Captain Hitsugaya , got it?" Ukitake gave a thumps up, "Got it," Ukitake started heading to Captain Hitsugaya.

Ukitake knocked on the door of Captain Hitsugaya's office and then went in "Toshiro! You here!" He sees that Toshiro is looking at the mirror combing his hair up. "Toshiro? Getting ready for something?" sniff sniff "Are you wearing colone , Toshiro?"

Toshiro put his comb down on his desk and put away the mirror. "Uh yeah...I am going to see somone today." Jushiro then walked up to Toshiro and handed peppermint candies. "So you can have nice minty mouth when you kiss Momo" Toshiro blushed."K-Kiss?" "Yeah aren't you gonna see Momo? You are dressed just to see her , right?" "Yes but that is if she is in her room. Last night she ran away from me after she said..." Then Toshiro couldn't help it to look down and smile remembering what she said. "Uh what she said...? Toshiro?" "Oh uh she said...she said something..." Toshiro had a smalll blush across his face. "Well I want to know what she said. In fact I'll go see her right now." Jushiro left smiling. "W-wait! I'm coming with you!" Toshiro hurried while putting on his 10th captain robe.

Meanwhile Rukia and Renji were walking Momo. "Hey you guys? What you think I should do?" said Momo. "Well , uh...? Why don't you answer this Rukia?" Renji was no good at giving advices. "Well what you should do is , Momo, you should be brave and tell him how you he rejects you then all you have to do is ask him if you can still be friends but I think everything will be okay between you. You two have been friends since you were kids right?" Momo smiled, "Yeah. Thank you , Rukia" Rukia smiled at her "Your welcome"

As Jushiro and Toshiro got to Momo's room no one was there."Hmm...she still not here yet? I thought Rukia and Renji would've brought her to her room by now?" "Huh? Renji and Rukia?" "Yeah they were all sleeping over at Rukia's but I guess they must've stayed to eat breakfast or something." Toshiro just stared into Momo's room. "I will stay here until Momo gets here." "Hmm? Okay I bet they should be here any minute now well later Toshiro" "Okay later , Ukitake." Toshiro decided to lay sit lay down on Momo's bed and look at the cieling. Waiting for her until she gets here. "Step 1 : Getting Toshiro to Momo's room is completed" said Jushiro as he started walking from Momo's room.

Renji , Rukia , and Momo finally got to Momo's room. "Thank you for walking me to my room you guys" "No problem Momo" "Yeah. Later Momo" " Later you guys" Right when Toshiro heard Momo's voice he quickly went near the door. As Momo opened the door Toshiro kept hiding behind it. "I wonder what i am gonna tell Toshiro..." "Momo!" "Huh T-Toshiro?" Momo tried to leave outside but Toshiro was quick and closed it. Momo backed away from Toshiro. She looked around the room and and made her choice by heading out the window. "Momo!" Toshiro grabbed Momo's arm right before she can head out. He then grabbed her other arm and lay her on the bed. He was right on top of Momo. He holded both her arms on the bed trapping her so she won't leave. "T-Toshiro! Please! I don't want to talk right now!" Well I do! And I am gonna ask you again like I asked you yesterday...what you said is true...that you love me?"
