"He just left." Momo said to Rukia the Monday after the "incident" with Soi Fong. Momo had told Rukia about the events of Saturday night at the restaurant.

"Are you serious?" Rukia asked sitting on the bleachers where they usually ate lunch.

"Yeah. It was weird, I'll tell you that." Momo said taking a swig of her soda. She had once again forgot to grab her packed lunch. Rangiku was probably eating right now. She had stayed at Rangikus that weekend due to the fact that her step mother didn't even want to smell Momo's shampoo in her house. Hopefully she would be able to go home today, she didn't know how much longer she could live in Rangiku's liquor reeking apartment.

"I'll say. You sure you don't want some of my food. Hisana made chocolate chip cookies. You know you love her cookies." Rukia said waving the bag in Momo's face. Momo snatched the bag from Rukia's hand and grabbed a cookie stuffing it in her mouth.

"Hey! Aren't you going to share?" Rukia asked crossing her arms.

"No." Momo said grabbing another cookie from the bag.

"Thats the last time I'm nice to you, cookie stealing bitch." Rukia mumbled causing Momo to laugh and chuck a cookie at her.

"That looks good." Rukia heard from behind her and saw Ichigo drooling on her shoulder.

"Yeah it does." Renji said actually grabbing the cookie from Rukia and stuffing it in his mouth.

"Dude that's so not cool. I totally wanted some of that!" Ichigo shouted pointing at Renji.

"Nof my proflem" Renji said through a mouthful of cookie.

Rukia flinched. "Your disgusting." She then slapped him upside the head causing him to choke on the cookie. "And that was MY cookie!!!" She shouted.

"Serves you right." Ichigo said between laughs but sobered up when Rukia turned her glare on him. "What?" He asked. She then smacked him upside the head causing Renji to laugh and then choke due to the unfinished cookie still in his mouth.

"What the hell was that for!?" Ichigo yelled rubbing his now sore head.

"For drooling on my shirt idiot." She shot back crossing her arms over her chest.

Momo could only giggle as the three continued to fight.

"Troublesome group aren't they?"

Momo jumped and turned to see Toshiro standing behind her, hands in the pockets of he jeans.

"You just have a thing for scaring the crap out of people don't you?" She asked slowing her heart beat down.

"No, just you." He said with a smirk sitting down next to her.

She hit his shoulder playfully, and smiled at him. They both turned their attention to the fighting threesome when the heard a loud crash and saw Ichigo stuck in the bleachers, feet dangling over his head which was laying not so comfortably against one bleacher, butt resting on another. Renji couldn't control his laughter, and even Rukia started laughing.

"Stop laughing at me its not that funny!" Ichigo shouted swinging his legs around and some how managing to hit Momo's drink causing it to spill all over Momo's jeans. She immediately stood up and frowned. Toshiro couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha ha yeah, laugh it up, jerk" she said trying to dry her jeans with a paper towel, and failing miserably.

After the laughter ceased Rukia and Renji helped Ichigo out of his position in the bleachers.

"It doesn't look that bad." Toshiro said trying to fan her jeans dry with his hand.

"It looks like I peed myself." She said. Toshiro chuckled.

Momo finally gave up and sat down. Everyone calmed down and Ichigo said sorry to Momo who waved it off and gave him a smile.

"So where are the bitches?" Rukia asked not looking at anyone.

"Rukia!" Momo scolded.

"What?" She asked innocently.

The boys just sighed. Then Renji spoke up.

"Lover boy here" He said motioning to Toshiro who only glared at him "and little miss princess had a scuffle this weekend. So they won't let us sit at the table and we decided why not visit our two most favorite girls in the entire world." Renji said leaning down and placing his arms around Rukia's and Momo's shoulders.

"Doubt it." Rukia said swatting Renji's arm off her shoulder. He pulled back and rubbed the spot on his arm she had smacked.

Momo looked at Toshiro, who was sitting to the left of her, and asked "Was it because of what happened."

He sighed. "Yes and no."

She cocked her head to the side confused.

He sighed again. "I don't know, she really confuses me sometimes."

Momo smiled. Then Renji's face was in hers, she went to pull away but his hand grabbed her chin and turned her head so the cheek with the bandage was facing him.

"What did happen?" He asked letting go of her face.

"My step mother hit me." Momo said, she still couldn't believe Soi Fong had hit her.

Rukia clenched her fists.

"Why'd she do that?" Ichigo asked

"She thought I was stealing money from her, turns out it was her lovely daughters and when Soi Fong had asked them about it they did the first thing that came to mind." She stopped.

"Blamed it on you." Toshiro finished for her.

Momo nodded her head.

"That sucks man. What did your dad say about it?" Renji asked getting him an elbow in the stomach from Rukia. "What I just asked her a question?"

"My dad died eight years ago." Momo said a reminiscent smile on her face.

"Sorry Momo I didn't-"

"Its cool. You didn't know." Momo said offering him a smile which he returned.

After a few moments of comfortable silence Ichigo spoke up.

"I like eating lunch here better."

"Agreeed." Renji said nodding his head.

"Mhmm." Toshiro agreed.

Momo giggled. "And why's that?" She asked.

"Because you girls are more fun the bitchy, smart ass, and clueless. My bad I mean Karin, Isane and Yuzu." Renji said erecting a laugh from the group.

"Does that mean we can expect you more often?" Rukia asked.

"Yeppp." Ichigo said a smirk on his face. Rukia groaned. Another comfortable silence until...

"So, got anymore cookies?"

MTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMT

"I only asked if you had anymore cookies. There was really no need for violence." Renji said as he Rukia and Momo headed to Calculus. They were in the same class, and Ichigo had gym this period while Toshiro and AP Chemistry.

"You got what was coming to you." Rukia mumbled.

Momo only laughed as she pictured Renji with the whole bag of cookies shoved in his mouth, bag included, wide eyed trying to figure out what the hell had just happened to him.

"I think you have some anger management issues." Renji mumbled.

"What did you say!?!?" Rukia shouted as she started chasing him in circles around Momo who giggled. Renji finally managed to get away from Rukia by using Momo as his shield.

"See look, I told you." Renji shouted pointing at Rukia, still behind Momo with one hand placed on her shoulder.

Momo laughed at the fighting pair. "Come on guys we're gonna be late." Momo said attempting to stop Rukia from trying to kill Renji.

When they got to the classroom door Momo stopped to look at her jeans, almost forgetting about the soda stain. She sighed, it still looked like she peed herself.

"Hey Renji-" She started to ask him if she could use his Soccer Jacket to cover the stain but was cut of by Karin who all but pushed her into the wall. "Move" Was all she said before she walked into the classroom with Isane right behind her. Not only did Rukia and Momo share this class with Renji, they also, unfortunately, shared it with Karin and Isane.

"I think they like you." Rukia said sarcastically as she helped Momo pick up her books that had fallen to the floor.

"Funny way of showing it." Momo mumbled to herself.

Renji smirked almost evilly. " I know who likes her."

"And who would that be Renji darling?" Rukia asked mimicking Renji's smirk.

"Toshiro of course, my dear Rukia." Was all Renji said, and that's all Momo needed to turn as red as the hair on Renji's head.

"You guys are crazy we're just... friends?" Momo said not really sure what they were. "And why do you guys say things like that like he doesn't have girlfriend?"

"Your the one whose crazy. Toshiro is practically throwing himself at you and both of you don't even realize it." Rukia said as she sat down at her desk. They had managed to walk into the classroom and get to their seats, which were actually very close together. Renji actual sat next to Momo and Rukia sat in the seat in front of them. "And its Toshiro who acts like he doesn't have a girlfriend. I think he's gonna break up with her." Renji said thoughtfully looking at Momo. She sighed and then mimicked Rukia and Renji's smirk from earlier.

"While we are on this subject." Momo said. Her and Rukia locked in a staring contest. "Why don't you tell us about you and Ichigo. Hmm?"

Renji practically squealed as he jumped up and down in his seat. Rukia did her best to hide the blush that was coming on.

"I knew he liked you, but you like him too, that is so cute!" Renji said as he reached over the desk and pulled Rukia into a hug.

"Will you stop. I DO NOT like that stupid strawberry." Rukia managed to choke out because she was still stuck in Renji's bone crushing hug. When Renji let go he felt a sharp pain in his head. "And stop acting like a little girl."

Renji sat back down and him and Momo just smiled at Rukia who turned around in her seat and crossed her arms, mumbling something about rope and a BIG truck.

Renji was about to say something else but the bell signaling the start of class and the teacher walking in stopped him. He'd tease her later.

Rukia gave a sigh of relief. "Never thought I'd be happy about Calculus." She said as she opened her book tot he page given by the teacher.

MTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTTMTMTMT

"Shit, shit, shit." Momo repeated over and over again as she tried to find her AP English book. She was already about ten minutes late for class when she found said book and went to slam her locker shut so she could make a run for it. But her being her klutzy self forgot to move her hand, and ended slamming the locker door on her hand.

"SHIT!" She yelled dropping her book and clutching her hand. Tears sprang to her eyes as she looked at her hand, her fingers already starting to swell.

"Ow" She mumbled leaning up against the lockers. Today was just not her day.

"You alright."

She jumped and looked to her left to see Toshiro standing there with a smirk on his face, obviously amused.

"We have got to stop meeting like this." He said with his seemingly always present smirk.

Momo picked up her fallen book as she spoke. "No, you just have to stop sneaking around."

"How long were you standing there anyway?" She asked hoping she hadn't made herself look to much like an idiot.

"Long enough." Was the only reply he gave.

They started to head to their class. They both had AP English last period.

"Why aren't you in class?" She asked curious.

"There was an explosion in chemistry-"

"Are you okay?" She cut him off standing in front of him to inspect him.

"If you would let me finish." He smirked. She blushed "My partner was badly burned so I had to bring him to the nurse, the nursed asked me to sit with him until his dad got there so I did. No big thing." He shrugged. "And speaking of nurse, you wanna head that way instead?" He said pointing to her hand.

"No it'll be alright. So you have a pass?"

He held up his pass from the nurse.

"Lucky. I'm just late, so I am majorly screwed. " She sighed.

"Thats sucks."

"Thanks, that made me feel so much better."

Toshiro shrugged. There was a moment of silence as the walked up a set of stairs. Mr. Ichimaru's classroom was on the third floor of the school, and Momo's locker was on the first, all the way on the other side of the school.

"So tell me Toshiro, how does a guy like you end up with a girl like Karin?" Momo asked out of no where while still looking forward.

Toshiro looked surprised but shook it off. "What do you mean?" He asked, getting defensive.

"I mean how did you and Karin start going out?" Momo rephrased the question, still not looking at him.

"We met in elementary school, we became really good friends, even though she was so girly every time she walked in the room it smacked you in the face." Momo giggled. "And when freshmen year came around I started to like her as more then a friend and apparently she felt the same way towards me. I asked her out she said yes and we've been going out ever since." Toshiro finished and regretted that he had told Momo the story when he saw her face.

"So you really like her, huh?"

Toshiro didn't know if he should answer that, no wait Toshiro didn't know how to answer that. He really did like Karin, but he never realized how ridiculous she could be at times, telling him what to eat, what to wear, and the words that comes from that girls mouth sometimes. Who the hell cares if some chick at a clothing store thought you were a 3 instead of a 2. But besides that he really did like Karin... right?

"Toshiro!" Momo said waving a hand in front of his face.

"Huh." Came his dignified answer.

"You zoned out. Are you alright?" She asked.

"Uhh. Yeah."

"Toshiro?" Momo asked as they rounded the last corner before they got to their English class.

"Hmm?"

"At the restaurant, in the kitchen, you were gonna ask me a question, but Karin cut you off. And its been bothering me so, what were you gonna ask me?" She asked looking into his eyes. He blushed as he remembered what he was going to ask her. He was going to ask if she would mind if he kissed her, he doesn't know no why but it just felt like the thing to do at that moment. He saw her smirk.

"Are you blushing?" She asked poking him in the arm.

"No."

"Yes you are."

"No I am not. It's just really hot in here." Toshiro said tugging at the collar of his shirt as if to prove his point.

"Your an awful liar." She smirked once again. "What exactly were you going to ask me? How dirty was it that it made you blush just thinking about it?" Momo continued to press.

"It wasn't dirty and I am not blushing." Toshiro defended once again.

"Mhmm, sure. Whatever you say Toshiro." Momo said as she stopped in front of Mr. Ichimaru's249" value"Chimaera's, Chimera's, Amaru's, Chimeras, Eichmann's" / door.

"Well here goes." She said as she opened the door, walking in, Toshiro right behind her. The entire class including the teacher looked towards the door. Momo shuddered as she looked at Mr. Ichimaru, creepy grin in place. She didn't know how someone like Rangiku ended up with someone like him. Yes Rangiku Matsumoto and Gin Ichimaru were dating, they have been since college apparently.

"Ah Mr. Hitsugaya, Ms. Hinamori. So nice of you both to join us. Do either of you have passes." Mr. Ichimaru asked.

Momo pointed to Toshiro "He does. I." She sighed "unfortunately don't."

"Then I will be seeing you after school Ms. Hinamori." He said grin not faltering. "Now please take your seats."

Momo walked to her seat and plopped down, resting her chin in her hand. 'Well this just sucks." She thought to herself as Mr. Ichimaru continued with his lecture.

MTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMT

Momo walked back to Mr. Ichimaru's265" value"Chimaera's, Chimera's, Amaru's, Chimeras, Eichmann's" / room after getting the books she needed for that night. She went to turn the corner when she was stopped by a hand grabbing her shoulder and pushing her against a wall of lockers. She looked into the eyes of none other then Karin Toho, and she noticed she didn't lose her flock of wanna-be's, Yuzu and Isane.

"What the hell is up your butt?" Momo asked getting pissed off, she was going to get in trouble if she was late to a detention for being late.

"You bitch. Who the hell do you think you are?" Karin spat in Momo's face.

Momo took Karin's hand of her shoulder. "Whatever it is, its sideways."

"What are you doing with Toshiro?" Karin asked as she stopped Momo from walking away from the group.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, he spends all his time with you, he had lunch with you today and I even saw him walking you to class. Now you better lay off." Karin pointed a finger in Momo's face as she finished yelling.

Momo nearly slapped the hand away, but managed to stay calm enough to simply grab her hand and throw it to the side. "You better watch your step Toho, and get your facts straight before you go around and start accusing people of things. Toshiro does not spend all of his time with me, and the reason he ate lunch with me and Rukia is because you wouldn't let him, Ichigo, or Renji sit at your table AND he walked me to class because we were both running late and we ran into each other in the hall." Momo glared at her. "Alright?"

Karin crossed her arms and stomped her foot and gave a very high pitched squeal. Basically she looked like a five year old throwing a hissy fit because they weren't Ellwood to by the toy they wanted.

"I am watching you. Know that. And you better watch your step. Because one wrong move and you won't even know what hit you."

"Is there a problem here ladies?" Someone asked and they turned to their right to see Gin walking down the hall, creepy grin in place.

"No Mr. Ichimaru." Karin turned her attention to the teacher. "Some people just have to learn there place is all." She said, glaring at Momo, before walking away. Yuzu and Isane on her heels.

Momo sighed. "I can handle myself you know. I don't need you coming to my rescue."

"What do you mean, I was just coming to find you, see if maybe you ran off to tattle on me to Rangiku." He responded grin somehow widening.

"Thanks Gin." Momo said as they headed to his classroom.

"No problem."

MTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMTMT

"Yachiru! I need those drinks now!" Momo yelled.

"I'm coming and there is no need to yell WHEN I AM RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!!!" Yachiru screamed into Momo's ear. Momo recoiled clutching the offended ear.

"Alright alright. Sorry, I just had a bad day."

"What happened Peaches?" Kenpachi asked as he stood in the doorway from the dining area into the kitchen. He had just scared the be-jesus out of some guy that had insulted Yachiru. Yes he loved his job.

"It started out a good day, but Momo Hinamori can't have a day without something going wrong. So At lunch I get soda spilled onto my jeans and it looks like I peed myself, I was late for class and because I wasn't paying attention I slam my hand in my locker, and because of that I made a total idiot out of myself in front of Rukongai high's star soccer player, and then I get a detention for being late to Gin's class, Gin's class, and on my way to detention I get cornered by some stuck up little priss and she basically threatens my life if I even think about her boyfriend who happens to be said star soccer player." Momo said extremely fast, and somehow, all in one breath.

Yachiru and Kenpachi just stared at her.

"Drinks?" Momo asked Yachiru who handed them over still staring at her.

Momo carried the drinks out to the costumers and asked if they needed anything else when they politely said no Momo headed to the kitchen.

"I'M HERRREEEEE!" Came a sing-song voice from the front of the restaurant. Momo turned to see who it was and when she saw the familiar red hair she could only smile. She walked up to the red haired man.

"Here by yourself or are you expecting company." Momo asked

"It's just me here Peaches. I was on my way home from soccer practice and figured I'd pay you a visit and get some food." Renji said as Momo walked him to a counter where costumer's could sit and eat.

"Awww how sweet." She said pinching his cheek. "Your always thinking of me. Now what is it you want?"

"Start me with a coke and bring me a menu please."

"Be right back."

Two minutes later she was back in front of him with a coke and a menu in hand.

"So how did practice go?" Momo asked.

He shrugged. "Same old, same old. Toshiro had a stick up his butt or something though, he was a real pain in the ass at practice."

"Wonder why?" Momo thought out loud.

"Personally I think it has to do with little miss happy pants and her sunny disposition." Renji stated before sipping his coke. Momo stared at him confused. "Karin." He said and she nodded in understanding.

"What did she do this time?" Momo asked Renji as she peeked over the menu to see his face.

"I'm not sure. But they were talking before practice and it ended in a screaming match."

"Hmm. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with me."

Renji brought the menu down from his face hitting her nose in the process causing them to laugh. As their fit of giggles ceased Renji looked at her curiously.

"What did you mean by 'I hope it doesn't have anything to do with me'?"

"She cornered me today on my way to detention, accusing me of taking Toshiro from her and stuff like that. She must of headed right for him after Mr. Ichimaru broke us up." Momo said thoughtfully.

"Must of. Wow, she was on a mission today." He smirked.

"Looks like it. Now what can I get you?"

"How bout a cheeseburger and some fries."

"You got it."
