Hey Guys! Darkwarrior0416 here with chapter 3 for all of you! Last chapter took longer than I anticipated…and I was even planning to include some scenes! And then when I saw that I was almost at 4,000+ words, I said to myself ''Ok, I'm reserving this scene to the next chapter.'' And with that I've changed the title of chapter 2 and finished writing it.
And now I'm here yet again! I'm so happy that I got so many free time that I can't help but write and write and write! I've regretted not writing sooner since my vacation started in April, and May is almost ending! Damn it! Oh well, let's not talk about past mistakes and. Better stop blabbering and get on with the story!

Chapter 3: Cracking the Mask
Dream
''Are you sure this is the right thing to do?'' A voice whispered. A shaky breath was heard. ''Yes…I'm sure of it. She needs to forget about herself…about us.''
''How are you so sure that this plan will not backfire?'' A firm voice said. A breath hitched and sighed ''Look, just please…I don't want her to hate me because of what I've done.''
''But why to him of all people! After Hotaru disappeared, he became so cold and distant to us!'' Another voice shouted. A sigh was heard ''Because he is the only one who knows advanced dark magic besides us…''
''It's true…My knowledge about dark magic is not that advanced yet, but he is.'' And with that they opened the door.
''Well, well, well. If it isn't you four...'' A cold voice sneered and the door suddenly closed ''What can I do for you?''
End Dream
''Professor! I think she's waking up!'' A worried yet happy voice shouted. Pink eyes slowly opened and started to blink as Momoko registered what happened ''Strange dream…What was that all about? And who is this Hotaru?'' She thought. She tried to stand up but pain shot up from her head. ''Ugh! My head!'' She groaned in pain, placing her hand in her head, which she felt a bandage around it.
''Easy there Momoko. You took a nasty blow to your head but I fixed it up.'' A fatherly voice said. She squinted her eyes and saw Professor Utonium looking at her worriedly and it looks like he is not the only one worried. Momoko also saw her two sisters in life, Miyako and Kaoru, starting to wake up beside the bed she was lying on.
She smiled softly and patted Miyako and Kaoru's hair as a sign of affection. Professor Utonium was surprise at the gesture since Momoko almost never shows that kind of affection to anyone. ''Is this what Miyako and Kaoru was suspicious about? He thought. Both girls talked to him after having suspicions that Momoko is hiding something. He decided that they should keep an eye on her in case something bad is going to happen.
Miyako yawned and felt a warm hand patting her head. She followed the source and saw Momoko smiling softly at her. Miyako beamed and suddenly hugged Momoko. ''Ack! Miyako not too much ugh'' Miyako's hug was crushing Momoko and making her head hurt even more ''force…''
Miyako heard it and let go ''Sorry Momoko! We were so worried about you. '' She exclaimed and her eyes started to get teary ''Y-you were ble-bleeding so m-much and we got really panicked and-'' Miyako was cut off of her rambling by Momoko ''It's ok. I understand. It was my fault for worrying you all like that.'' She smiled softly again.
Kaoru, who is now awake, looked at Momoko with slight bewilderment ''did she just admit that it was her fault?'' Momoko saw the look Kaoru gave her and cursed inwardly ''Crap, I slipped up again. Better change the topic before she questions it.''
Momoko saw a movement of red and blue at the corner of her eyes and turned her head. Her eyes slightly widened at the sight before her. There sitting at the chair was the two boys she fought earlier and the other one lying on the bed.
''Isn't that Butch of th Rowdyruff Boys? Why is he here? More importantly, why is he on the bed?'' She thought, a bit worried for the black haired boy. She then saw Boomer who was staring at her worriedly ''He's…worried for me?'' She thought surprised and got even more surprise when Boomer shyly waved at her in greeting. She waved back with a smile.
Brick look at the surprised expression and sighed as he chuckled ''Hell even I'll be surprised if my arch nemesis is sitting across to me and not doing anything.'' He thought, or he thought that he said it in his head. He heard giggles in front of her and Boomer nudging him.
Brick sighed and blushed in embarrassment ''I said it out loud didn't I?'' Boomer nodded and snickered. He then saw Kaoru smirking at him and Miyako and Momoko giggling at him.
''At least I made her giggle.'' Brick thought and this time it stayed in his head.
''He's actually pretty funny when we're not fighting.'' Momoko thought still giggling. ''By the guys, why is Butch lying on the bed there? He's not injured is he?'' She said with a tint of worry in her voice. ''What happened anyway?'' She asked
''After Mojo grabbed you and started absorbing your energy, Kaoru thought of a plan and we executed it.'' Miyako said ''I acted as a distraction and Kaoru sneakily made her way in front of Mojo.''
''Mojo was too arrogant to even saw me coming at him'' Kaoru scoffed ''I used my star clips as a shuriken and I literally cut off his robot arms.''
''Wow! Shurikens?! Man that's so cool! Wish I have seen it'' Momoko shouted eagerly ''so where did you get that idea from?''
Kaoru blushed in embarrassment and crossed her arms '' I-it just came to me!''
Miyako giggled and said to Momoko ''Don't listen to her Momoko. She got that idea from how you used your bow to defeat Him when we were battling at the tower.'' Kaoru glared at Miyako for blowing up on her like that ''shouldn't have told her that.'' She muttered
Momoko grinned teasingly at Kaoru ''Awwww Kaoru I didn't know you were one of my fans! You have a good way of hiding it though'' She and Miyako laughed at Kaoru's annoyed expression.
Kaoru just glared at the two and huffed ''Seriously, these two are so ugh!''
The two boys sitting on the chair was looking at the scene in front of them with slight admiration ''It's like their sisters in all but blood.'' They were surprised that the girls undo their transformation revealing normal teenagers, but they didn't say anything and focused on helping Blo-Momoko and Butch. They also learned their true names thanks to the Professor. They were in their best behavior as soon as they entered the lab. Even in their best behavior, Kaoru still wouldn't talk to them but at least Miyako chatted to them every time and now.
''Anyways, if Kaoru did cut off Mojo's robot arm, why does my head hurts so much? I couldn't fall off that high right?'' She asked holding her bandaged head.
Kaoru sighed and said ''Before my shurikens cut off Mojo's robotic arms, he threw you as hard as he can before it was cut off. I swear monkeys have great reflexes.''
''Then why didn't you just use your Bubble Catcher Miyako?'' Momoko turned to look at her. Miyako shook her head ''my bubbles won't catch you in time since Mojo threw you pretty hard. Kaoru tried to fly as fast as she can because you were heading towards a building.''
''Then who saved me?'' Momoko asked. ''My brother did.'' Brick said, finally speaking after a while.
''Huh?'' Momoko said and looked at Butch who was lying on the bed still unconscious. ''But how did you guys pop that gigantic bubble? I made sure Miyako gathered her energy there while I was…messing with you'' She said a bit sheepishly in the end.
''I was also surprised myself'' Miyako giggled. ''Seems like they really want to help you Momoko'' She winked at them.
Momoko and the two boys blushed ''Miyako!'' Momoko shouted. ''Geez, this is like a story where a good girl falls in love with a bad boy.'' Momoko rolled her eyes inwardly.
Momoko sighed and looked at Butch. He looks so peaceful sleeping there like nothing happened. His chest rising and falling peacefully with each breath he took. His pale complexion so smooth and no blemishes. His hair still in that little ponytail and the bangs that slightly covered his right eye. ''Wa-wait a second'' Momoko thought suddenly blushing ''Am I checking him out!?''
She then looked at everyone and they saw that she was staring at Butch for far too long. ''…crap.'' She suddenly thought as her blush started to get redder ''this whole boy-crazy thing is rubbing off on me…'' She groaned internally
Miyako has a smirk, which is a surprise for the sweet girl ''what's wrong Momoko? That stare could literally melt anyone in their seat...In this case, bed.'' She giggled. Kaoru has a smirk also ''you're checking him out aren't you!'' Kaoru decided to get a little revenge at their pink-eyed leader.
''I-I-I wa-wasn't! I-I w-was ju-just!'' Momoko defended herself while waving her hand frantically.
As the three girls started to bicker, they didn't notice the tick marks in Brick and Boomer's head.
A groan cut off all the bickering as they looked at the source. ''What's with all the noise out here…'' A suave voice groaned. He then opened his forest green eyes and adjusted his eyesight. ''Where am I?''
Boomer beamed and said ''Butch bro! Finally you're awake! We've been waiting for you to wake up. Heck even Momoko woke up earlier than you''
''Momoko? Who's Momoko?'' Butch questioned. ''Oh right, he was unconscious when Professor told us their real name.'' Boomer thought.
''Momoko is Blossom! I meant Blossom is Momoko'' Boomer rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and slightly looked at Momoko who raised an eyebrow at him amusingly. He blushed and focused his sight on Butch.
''…what? You're not making any sense Boomer.'' Butch dead panned. Brick sighed and said ''you know Blossom right?'' Butch nodded, ''In fact, where is she? All I remember was catching her and then it all became blank.''
''She's right here.'' Professor Utonium said pointing at Momoko which Butch looked at. Miyako and Kaoru gave teasing grins at Momoko who glared at them. She then looked at Butch and said ''I'm Blossom as you know, but my real name is Momoko. Momoko Akatsutsumi, and thank you for saving me Butch.'' She smiled gratefully at him.
Butch's eyes widened at the sparkle in those pink eyes ''She's even more beautiful smiling like that…'' They all waited for Butch's response but he was just staring at Momoko. Momoko took on a confused look because he was not responding. She was about to speak again but a warm smile from him stopped her.
''You're always welcome…Momoko. I wouldn't mind saving a princess after all.'' Butch winked at her ''It's a man's dream to save one of course.''
Momoko turned red once again and just shakily smiled in return as Kaoru burst out of laughing at the injured orange head. ''HAHAHAHAHA! Man you're face is so hilarious!'' She then looked at Butch and said ''you should continue flirting with her man! I haven't seen Momoko this flustered like ever!''
Butch chuckled at the exclamation with a glint in his eyes ''I intend to.''
Momoko ignored Kaoru's laughter again and Miyako's giggles and just lay at her bed with her blanket covering her entire face. ''Please, I just need to hide under a small rock. Just one distraction please.'' She thought praying the torture from his sisters' teasing will stop.
As if heavens answered her thoughts, the door opened and Ken came running towards Momoko.
''Momoko! Are you all right?'' Ken asked worried etched in his face while holding Poochi. Momoko smiled and silently thanked the heavens above. ''Yeah I'm alright now Ken. Thanks for asking.'' She winked at him. Ken smiled and bought out a cake. ''Here you must be pretty hungry so I bought you some cake.''
Professor Utonium raised an eyebrow ''Are you sure cake is the way to go? She just woke up, she should eat something healthy. Eating cake with an empty stomach doesn't look like the brightest idea to me.'' He said doubtfully. Ken chuckled and said ''its ok dad. This is Momoko who we're dealing with.''
The Professor's face visibly relaxed and said ''Yeah, you're right.'' He chuckled.
Momoko rolled her eyes inwardly ''actually I would rather prefer something healthy but this will have to do. Time to put up my acting skills once again!''
''Awww! Thank you Ken!'' Momoko cooed and opened the box revealing the cake and started to eat it. ''Now why can't you be like this all the time?''
''Because it will make you much more spoiled that you already are.'' Ken scoffed and scolded her.
Momoko rolled her eyes and reach out to pinch Ken's cheek. ''Ouch!'' Ken yelped in pain. ''Now what did you say about me being spoiled?'' Momoko said while stretching Ken's cheek. ''I-I'm shorry!'' He managed to get out as Momoko removed her hands and resumed eating. Ken rubbed his cheeks and puffed ''I'm never buying you cakes again.''
Momoko then saw the RRBZ looking at food that she has and thought ''Wow, they must have not eaten yet…''
''Hey Professor? Why don't you bring the boys some foods? I think they haven't eaten yet.'' Momoko asked him. Professor slapped a hand to his forehead and said ''Oh yeah I forgot! Don't worry boys I'll be back in a jiffy''
The boys nodded slowly and thought ''for someone so smart, he can be pretty weird…''
While waiting for the professor cooking, a comfortable silence overlapped them as conversations were made and talks exchanged, but one particular question made the entire talking stop and tension started to reveal itself.
''So Momoko,'' Kaoru called her making Momoko look at her questioningly. ''What's up with you and your daydreaming? This is happening so frequently now.'' Momoko freeze ''Oh no…I never thought they will ask me sooner…''
Miyako's face grew worried when she saw Momoko freeze up ''we're getting worried Momoko...Is there something wrong?''
Momoko chuckled nervously ''what are you talking about guys? You know me'' She winked ''Daydreaming about boys and sweets and all.'' She said this without so much confidence as the pain in her head is joining in through her speaking. ''Damn you head, cooperate with me right now.''
Kaoru narrowed her eyes ''Look Momoko, it's obvious that you're hiding something! Why won't you tell us?!''
Momoko sighed, not wanting any more arguments ''It's not that important Kaoru just forget about it…''
Kaoru slammed her hands in the table startling the others ''If it's not so important then why won't you tell us!?''
Momoko narrowed her eyes, getting a bit angry ''It doesn't concern you Kaoru. You should mind your own business!''
Kaoru was shocked that Momoko answered her like that including Miyako. They've never seen Momoko answer like that. Usually she's just a tease and sometimes sweet but not like that…
The boys could only look on in shock. They could clearly see the conflict in Momoko's face. ''What's wrong with her?'' They thought worriedly but they could only watch as they have nothing to do with it.
Kaoru regain her composure and stood up ''It's our business because you're our friend! You're getting much more distracted and you're also not acting like yourself!''
''Kaoru is right Momoko!'' Miyako said ''we're here Momoko! Please…open up to us.'' Her eyes got a bit teary saying this making Momoko feel guilt for getting angry at them.
Silence and tension filled the room whereas Momoko hid her eyes with her hair. It was all quiet until the Professor's voice rang through the room. ''Food is ready! Come down the hall you four. After you finish, we'll just bring in the food for Butch and Momoko.''
Brick and Boomer silently stood up looking at the girls warily. They then looked at Butch who smiled a small smile. Brick and Boomer nodded and returned the smile as they left. Kaoru, Miyako and Momoko are still quiet looking at each other but Momoko broke the silence ''…you should probably eat now.''
Kaoru stood up and walked away without saying anything. Momoko flinched at the action but ignored it. She then felt a hand in her arm.
She looked up and saw Miyako smiling sadly at her ''don't worry about Kaoru…She's just upset because she's worried about you and you won't tell us…'' Miyako looked down and hugged Momoko ''…Whatever you're dealing with, we're ready to help Momoko. We're your friends after all, don't forget that.''
Momoko let out a small smile and nodded. Miyako then let go of the hug and left as well.
''You know, you're lucky to have friends like them.'' Butch said looking at her. Momoko was silent as she let Butch talk. ''We were just happy earlier…what changed?'' She thought ''If only I could be myself…If only I stopped acting maybe…maybe things will be different. Maybe we won't be arguing right now...''
She took in a deep breath and let it out, calming the turmoil in her mind while Butch is looking at her. ''Yeah…I know'' She smiled softly. They lay in their bed in peaceful silence.
''I wonder…Maybe I can make her open up to me?'' Butch thought ''No…I only just met her personally today. I can't just ask something out of blue.'' He then heard a shuffling next to him and saw Momoko standing up with a bit of a struggle. Butch eyes widened a bit ''H-hey?! What are you doing! You can't just walk out here. You're injured!'' He shouted a bit.
Momoko cringed ''Crap, the others must have heard it. Got to get out fast.''
She hurriedly run towards the window and transformed.
''Hyper Blossom!''
Butch looked on in awe ''so it is true…'' He muttered.
The pain in her head crashed upon her as she was suddenly on her knees after transforming. ''Damn it…it hurts even more after I transformed.'' She whispered to herself. She shakily stood up and was about to fly but was stopped by a shout of pain. She saw Butch trying to stand up but can't due to the pain. He panted a bit and cursed ''Stupid back injury.''
Momoko smiled at him and said ''I'm just going to get some fresh air Butch…Thank you for protecting me.''
''Momoko…don't please. What if…what if something happens to you'' Butch shakily breath because of the pain in his back.
Momoko smiled softly at him and said ''I'll be fine…I am one of the heroes of New Townsville.'' She then heard sounds of footsteps running towards the room they are in. ''I'll be back soon. See you.'' She quickly said as she flew away.
''Stubborn girl.'' Butch chuckled as the pain receded away after not moving for a few seconds.
The door suddenly slammed open as Kaoru, Miyako, Brick, Boomer, Ken and the Professor came in.
''What's wrong bro?! We heard you scream.'' Brick suddenly asked. Butch sighed ''It was Momoko. She was trying to escape and I tried to stop her, but my back is in the way so I just lay here and watch her go. She said she needs some fresh air.'' He explained.
Kaoru gritted her teeth ''that little…'' She then looked at the opened window and saw a faint trail of pink. She took out her compact and was about to transform when the Professor stopped her. ''Wait Kaoru!''
''What?!'' She said a bit agitated. ''We don't have all the time in the world! Momoko is out there injured and I'm sure as hell not going to sit here and wait for her.''
''Kaoru calm down. We are all worried here…Professor is just helping. Please calm down.'' Miyako said, calming Kaoru down. Kaoru sighed and nodded. ''Don't worry, even though Momoko is injured, she's still strong. Now let's hear what Professor is about to say.''
Kaoru nodded and silently thanked Miyako for calming her down. Professor nodded in thanks to Miyako and said ''I have my laptop here that pinpoints where you girls are. The belts you're wearing have their own tracking device so with the help of my laptop, we can find out where Momoko is.'' He said and everyone nodded in understanding. ''However, you need to be transformed for us to locate you. We still haven't finished developing it.'' The Professor finished grimly. He opened the laptop and there they saw a dot that was flashing pink. ''Ok so here she is, looks to me she's either going to the school, the park or the tower where you all fought Him.''
The RRBZ was surprised that they fought Him before the volcano but decided to ask in a later time. Suddenly the pink dot stopped blinking and stayed where it was. ''Oh no…'' Professor exclaimed. ''What is it Professor?'' Miyako asked.
''Momoko must have undo her transformation.'' Professor said. The others were surprised by this. ''But Professor? Why would Momoko do that? Wouldn't it be easier to go where she went by flying?'' Brick asked. Professor nodded to Brick and said ''Yeah it is easier…she must have been forced to undo the transformation''
''Forced? What do you mean by forced?'' Kaoru asked. ''I forgot to tell you all that since Mojo absorbed Momoko's white light, it's kind of hard for her to recover it. Usually it will took some days before she recovered but…since she forced the transformation, the fatigue must have gotten to her and that's why she was forced to undo the transformation.'' The Professor explained sullenly.
''So that's why she went to her knees when she transformed earlier'' Butch muttered.
''Ugh! So what now?'' Kaoru said. ''We go for Plan B'' The Professor said with a firm voice. The Professor went to get something and returned shortly holding three syringes. ''These syringe contains Chemical Z. I was planning to inject it to the three of you as a surprise but the situation calls for it.'' He said.
The five of them were shocked that Professor was willing to give the Rowdyruff Boys their very own superpowers.
'Wa-wait, you mean us?!'' Boomer exclaimed pointing to the three of them. ''Professor are you sure?'' Kaoru asked a little bit doubtful of this.
''Yes Kaoru I'm sure. After all, ever since they came here they've been nothing but at their best behavior and did not cause some chaos around the lab. And besides, they helped Momoko right?'' The Professor smiled warmly at the three boys. Brick, Boomer and Butch was touched by the said Professor and vowed to never let him down. ''Like a father…Maybe this could work at all.''
''They will not only gain superpowers, it will also heal Butch's back as well.'' The Professor said.
''Then why didn't you inject Momoko with it.'' Miyako asked. The Professor looked thoughtful for a moment and said ''I didn't think that Momoko will escape and thought that she can recover through normal means. Chemical Z is sacred Miyako, we only use them for emergencies like this.'' Miyako nodded in understanding and waited for the Professor to put in the Chemical Z to the boys.
Each boys felt their power grow and they suddenly transformed.
''Hard Brick''
''Explosive Boomer''
''Strong Butch''
''Rowdyruff Boys Z!''
They all wore a black blazer with an undershirt at their respective color. Their belts were the same as the girls and the differences are the letter which is ''R'' and the colors. They also wore black pants and sneakers at their respective color also.
''Well, this is cool.'' Brick smirked while testing out his weapon, a beyblade.
''No kidding.'' Butch stood up, the pain on his back finally gone and started to play his flute.
''Man this is awesome!'' Boomer said as he tried aiming his arrow.
Miyako and Kaoru nodded to each other and transformed as well.
''Rolling Bubbles!''
''Powered Buttercup!''
''Powerpuff Girls Z!''
''Well, looks like we have three new additional heroes then!'' Ken said with a grin while Poochi barked in agreement.
The Professor nodded and said ''Ok so Plan B is that you will split up and searched the three locations we got earlier. The school park and tower. All of you will split up and look for Momoko. Remember Momoko is injured so who knows what will happen to her.'' He sighed ''I know that all of us are worried so let's not waste time.'' He nodded to each of them.
''Bubbles and Buttercup will look at the tower. Boomer and Butch will look at the park while Brick will look at the school. Everyone got it?'' They all nodded ''Remember, when you find her, contact the others with your compact.''
''We will. Thanks Professor'' They all said as they took off in a trail of red, blue, forest green, light blue and green.
''Please be safe'' The Professor thought.
With Momoko
''Ugh, that transformation took a lot out of me I guess…Better not use it then. Good thing I'm close to the school now.'' It was almost sunset as she looked out. ''Wow…time flies fast huh.'' It was an early afternoon since they've battled Mojo. Thanks to the leftover white light that Momoko has that she woke up earlier than expected. ''I got to thank Butch again for softening my crash…''
She then limply walked towards the school gate and started going to the rooftop. When she was about to turn, she bumped into something…or someone
''Hey, watch where you're going.'' The person she bumped into said in annoyance.
Momoko huffed ''I don't have time for this. First Mojo, then Kaoru now this guy.''
''Yeah sure whatever.'' She said as she limply got past him.
''Huh? Weird, thought she will go gaga over me the moment she saw me.'' The person thought surprised
''Now I got some alone time…I better think what was my dream about…Who is this Hotaru?'' She thought.
''Hotaru…'' She mumbled thoughtfully. Silence filled the entire hall as Momoko continued her way towards the rooftop. She then felt someone hold her shoulder. ''What now ugh.'' She groaned internally not catching what the person holding her shoulder ''...you say?'' She heard.
''Sorry what?'' She asked again and started to turn around as the person asked again. ''What did you say?''
Momoko eyes widened as she saw who it was. ''Natsuki?!'' She said in shocked. ''What are you doing here?!''
The brown haired boy hazel eyes bore to her as if he's trying to figure it out something and said ''You didn't answer my question yet. What did you say earlier?''
Momoko sighed ''what are you doing here first.'' She said stubbornly.
Natsuki's eyes twitched ''I'm here because I'm one of the cleaners for today. Our other classmates left early so I was the only one who was left to clean it.''
''Wow, talk about brave. Being alone in this school and cleaning it up the classroom by himself.'' Momoko thought.
''So answer my question now.'' Natsuki said with a bit of force as he gripped her shoulders.
Momoko flinched ''what's up with him? I know he's cold and all but…''
''Hotaru.'' She mumbled. Natsuki looked shocked beyond relief ''S-say it again.'' ''Is it really her?'' He thought
''I said it was Hotaru.'' She said again a bit louder in an irritated voice. Natsuki was surprise ''I thought she has a crush on me? Well, I smell something fishy. So, Hotaru huh.''
''Hmmm I see.'' Natsuki mumbled. ''Can I go now?'' Momoko said ''I can't really go with you gripping my shoulder like that.''
Natsuki looked at her head that was bandaged and asked ''what happened to you?''
Momoko raised an eyebrow ''He never talks to me this long. In fact, this is the longest conversation we have.''
''Got into an accident. Miyako and Kaoru helped me.'' She said. She then saw the worried look in Natsuki's face. ''What the heck?! Am I in a parallel universe? Is my so-called crush worried at me?''
''Then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you get some more rest?'' Natsuki said.
''Look, I just want to get some fresh air at the rooftop. So if you're going to stop me, I won't let you.'' Momoko glared at him. She then looked confused as Natsuki chuckled ''you got into an accident with your head and your personality changed? I thought the moment you saw, you'll ask me to go on a date.'' He smirked playfully.
''Crap too tired to even put up my mask…Oh well just this one time.'' Momoko rolled her eyes ''No, I just really need some fresh air now so can you please let go of me'' She said in an annoyed voice.
Natsuki suddenly smiled at her and took her hand. ''Wh-what the?!'' Momoko thought with a pink hue in her face.
''I'll come with you to make sure nothing bad happens to you.'' Natsuki said. ''….Fine.'' Momoko sighed, giving up on denying him. She then began to walk forward but noticed Natsuki is looking at her. ''Aren't you coming?'' She asked.
''You're limping.'' He said simply. ''Yeah so what?'' She raised her eyebrows to him. She was suddenly hoisted up and carried into bridal style. ''Hey! W-what are you doing!?'' Momoko yelped in surprise a blush started forming. ''Curses the boy-crazy thing rubbing off on me.''
''Carrying you of course.'' Natsuki said as he walks towards the rooftop.
''….I can carry myself you know.'' Momoko mumbled and looked away from Natsuki.
''Yeah sure you can'' Natsuki smirked as thoughts began to gather in his mind. ''….I have finally found her.''
Whoa oh! What does Natsuki mean by finally found her?! Well, we'll see in the future chapters! Anyways hope you guys liked the story! Seriously I don't even know how long my typing is but hey I just go with the flow! Anyways R&R everyone! Don't forget to favorite to let you know when I will update!
