MOM HAS A SISTER!? (Shigure x oc)

Is forgiveness possible?

Momoko's pov.

I was sitting on my couch, refusing to move from my spot. I didn't even bother to answer the phone that's been ringing for a while now. Then the doorbell rang, I knew who it was so I didn't want to answer. It just kept going, annoying the hell out of me. Then the ringing finally stop and was replaced with a soft knock. Then a gentle caring yet worried voice was heard, "Aunty Momoko. Please open up. I really really miss you."

I didn't reply, I felt guilty because of it but I just couldn't bring myself to speak. "Come on we know your there just open the stupid door!" I heard another voice, it definitely belonged to Kyo. I only closed my eyes and tried to block them completely out. I was at the brink of tears when I heard Hatori's voice coming from the door. "Momoko please at least come out to walk in the park with me I won't question you or bother you. Just please... don't leave us behind again."

3rd person pov.

Momoko was walking back up the stairs, when her heart just felt like it broke through her chest and ran towards the door trying to open it. So she did, rushing towards the door yanked it open even though it was still locked, and bairried her face into Hatori's chest though she made sure not to give him a hug. She cried so hard into his chest not caring anymore, she was scared, she was sad and lonely, she needed her friends. All Hatori could do was keep the small distance from each other and pat her head.

"I'm sorry! I am so sorry!" Momoko yelled as she continued to cry. When she finally calmed down she let go of Hatori's shirt and wiped her tears. "I'm guessing you all want an explanation, huh?" "Gee what gave that away?" Kyo asked sarcastically with crossed arms Yuki hit him over the head. "Ignore him! Yu don't need to whorry about a thing!" Momiji yelled as he grabbed Momoko by the arm and dragged her inside her house once more.

They talked and talked to clear things up a bit, over lunch. "Okay, but I still don't get why you never told Tohru." Said Kyo still suspicious of the ex military woman before him. "Tohru lost her mother, her home. Then out of nowhere I showed up and told her I was her aunt. I didn't want to burden her or anyone with my illness. And besides once I'm cured I plan on getting my strength back and return to the force. I didn't exactly plan on staying here." I told him as I took a sip of my drink.

"Is that really how you feel?" Tohru asked a gloomy look on her face. "Sorry kid now you know. Now can you get out of my house?" I asked as nicely as I could, and left to go to my room. I heard the d shut as I laid in my bed and tried to calm myself down. As time went I got really hungry and decided to go out to eat, I was to lazy to cook.

Walking around, looking at all the different restaurants gave me more time to think. Then I saw him. I turned around and was about to walk away when I felt an arm grab me and forced me back around and. I was then faced with his eyes, his sly, kind, caring, beautiful eyes. "I thought it was you." He whispered. "Yeah, what of it? What do you want Shigure." I asked still very mad at him. "Look I just wanted to apologize for my behavior." He said with sad eyes.

"You think that's gonna change anything?" I asked glaring at him. He let out a sigh and shook his head, "No, but at least tell me why you never told me about your illness." "Because it's none of your business to begin with. It doesn't involve you." "Of course it does! We use to be so close! No matter what I will always care about you and your safety." Shigure sad in a very serious tone.

It took me by surprise, never thought he'd say that. I couldn't help but hold my breath as he started into my eyes. My face began to feel really warm as time went by. I avoided eye contact as best I could, afraid of what I might do of I look him in the eye. "How, how about we get some ramen?" I asked slightly nervous as glanced at the man in front of me. He looked shocked but soon recovered and smiled at me, "I'd like that."

And so we went looking for a ramen restaurant. When we finally found one we went in and took a seat. We both ended up ordering the same thing, miso pork ramen.

(I don't know if it really is bur it looks like good ramen so please just go with it)

It was a bit awkward since neither of us said anything. When our food came we ate in complete silence, glancing at on another now and then. When we finished we paid and went on our way. We were still quite, still not talking to each other. While we walked past some shops both me and Shigure stopped to look into a shop window. It was a book store, and in the window we saw one of our favorite books, from high school.

"Is that what I think it is?" I asked no one in particular. "Yeah I think it is." Shigure said with a chuckle in his throat. "Man, I remember when you first read this book. And everytime when you reread it, it was in the same place at the same spot. In the park under the shade in that big old tree."

"I wonder if that old tree is still there." I said smiling at the memory of sitting on the tree trunk, reading that book and waited for my three best friends. "Ayame, Hatori and I always met you by that tree sat underneath the tree with some burgers and drinks. And then we always struggled to get you to stop reading and come down to join us." Shigure said laughing at the memory.

"Oh yeah, and everytime when I did end up joining you three, Ayame wouldn't stop nagging to do my hair while we ate." I giggled. "Is that street dog still there?" Shigure asked facing me. "I don't know." I said honestly. "Want to find out?" Shigure asked giving me a sly smile. I couldn't help but smile back, "Sure." And so we went to the park to the old tree where we hung out.

While we were there we saw the same old man who always sold ice cream there, and walked straight towards him. "One vinalla with toffee syrup, and one chocolate with strawberry syrup." Shigure ordered. The man quickly gave us our ice cream with a smile. We once again paid before we left to sit under the old tree.

As I tried to eat my vinalla ice cream as fast as I could before it melt I laughed at Shigures who was a mess from his. "You eat like a five year old." "Hey if like something why not show it?" Shigure said with pride. I giggled at his words, "I can't believe you remembered my favorite ice cream flavor." I said with a soft smile. "Of course. We were best friends for years and years, why wouldn't I?" Shigure looked me in the eye.

"I don't know, maybe all the time we spent apart." I said sadly. "Listen Momoko, I don't know if you believe me or not, but I truly am sorry for happened. And I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day." Shigure apologized. "It's fine, but why were you so mad at me?" "I guess.... I guess I was jealous seeing how close you were with that guy from the hospital." Shigure said truthfully. "Do you mean Nate?" I asked before bursting into a fit of laughter. "Nate has a wife and twins on the way, not to mention he's not my tipe!" I explained still laughing.

"What seriously!? Wait so does this mean you'll forgive me?" Shigure looked me in the eye looking for an answer. "Yeah I guess I will. This time." I warned him. We finished our ice cream, recalled old memories and laughed together before we parted ways as we both went to our own home. When I closed the door I realized I was still smiling, looks like my feelings for Shigure still haven't gone away.

Shigure's pov.

I walked home humming to myself happily. When I got there I saw Yuki and Kyo were fighting yet again and dark Haru was back as well trying to join the fight. But I didn't let that spoil my mood and straight to my study. I sat down and began writing a new book not like the ones I usually write, this one was more of a message. For one person and one person only, Momoko. I continued to hum and write happily as the boys destroyed my poor house.
