"Here I am," Momo said as she stopped in front of a grassy field. Raising a hand up to her forehead, she looked back and forth. "He should be somewhere around he-Ah, there he is!"

Running across the field and in the head of the pack, Hinamori saw Hitsugaya dribbling the soccer ball with his feet. Taking a quick glance at both sides, he noticed that his opponents have come to stop him. "I'm not letting you score!"

Toshiro grinned. "We'll see about that."

He stopped and lifted the ball into the air. Once the two boys noticed, they charged in to steal it. However, the white haired teenager anticipated their moves and headbutted it. He made a side pass to his teammate. "Shit!"

As his teammate is moving the ball forward, Hitsugaya used this opportunity to move ahead unnoticed. Good thing his speed and flexibility allows him to do that fairly easily. Once he is in a good position near the net, he waited for his opportunity to strike. Then, his teammate made eye contact with him. Knowing what to do next, he ran towards him.

"Damn it, Hitsugaya is coming after the ball!"

Opponents and teammates gathered around the players, trying to gain possession of the ball. Toshiro hissed between his teeth. "This is not going to be easy."

By the time the ball was passed to him, he quickly trapped the ball between his heel and back thigh. With a single foot, he spun around and let go of the ball. Just as it bounced on the grass, he quickly kicked with his other foot and shot it past the goalkeeper and into the net. Soon, the referee's whistle was blown. "Nice shot, Hitsugaya!"

Toshiro smiled at his happy teammate. "Thanks, but I wouldn't have done it with you guys."

"Okay, practice is over for today!" the coach said.

"Yes sir!"

One of the players stretched their arms into the air. "That was a good workout!"

"Oh yeah, it sure is!" another replied as everyone headed towards the outdoor changing room.

"I can't wait to go home and relax!"

"Hey, don't we still have homework to do?"

"Why must you always ruin the moment?"

A few of them burst out with laughter. One of his classmates tapped on Hitsugaya's shoulder. "Hn, what's up?"

"Look over there." He pointed out. "It seems like your girlfriend has come to pick you up."

"Momo..."

"You better not keep her waiting or else she might break up with you."

Toshiro then rolled his eyes. "Oh shut up."

With that said, he walked into the change room first. Like all good gentlemen, he can't keep a girl waiting for long. All he needed was five minutes to get the job done.

"So, how did your studying in the library go?"

After the two lovers met in the school yard, they exchanged kisses before leaving the school premises together. Now, they are slowly heading their way home. "It was good," Hinamori replied while holding hands with him. "I managed to get most of my homework done."

Toshiro looked at her and gave her a smile. "That's good to hear."

"Compared to you, you don't have much to study for. Besides, I bet you already had it done a few days ago."

"Actually, I need to work on it tonight."

"Eh, you didn't finish your homework ahead of time?"

Hitsugaya gave his girlfriend a look before turning his head to the side. He blushed. "I-It can't be helped. Besides, soccer practice has been exhausting me lately. As a result, I ended up falling asleep before I decided on picking up a textbook."

Momo suddenly let out a giggle. "You're so funny, Toshiro. If you weren't so hard working, you could have become a lazy student."

He smiled. "Yeah, I have to agree with that."

All of a sudden, a bright light flashed into their eyes. As a result, it caused the two teenagers to stop walking and shield their arms over their faces. By the time Hinamori and Hitsugaya slowly opened their eyes, they saw a formally dressed man standing in front of them. With his black camera raised up to his face, he took several pictures.

"Oi, stop that!"

However, he didn't listen to Toshiro's words. Instead, he concentrated on taking photographs of the peach girl from different angles. For Momo, the mysterious man's actions is making her nervous. Quickly, Hitsugaya stood in front of his girlfriend and glared at the cameraman.

He demanded, "Who are you and what the hell are you doing?"

"Oh sorry, I got carried away," the man said, putting down his camera for a moment. "My name is Kai Saito. I am a photographer and vide-"

"I know you!" Hinamori exclaimed. "You're also a video producer for the PrettyGirl advertisements!"

Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend. Why does she know about stuff like that? "That's correct, young miss."

Momo placed her hands together and said, "I thought so! I've seen you in several interviews on television."

"I feel so honoured to be known. Sorry for taking pictures of you."

"It's alright," she replied. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you doing around here in these parts?"

"I'm actually looking for someone suitable who can help me advertise the latest clothing line."

"You mean the Sky Dresses?"

"Yes."

Hinamori then jumped for joy. "Sugoi, I can't wait to buy mine when it comes out on sale!"

"Hey, I've got a good idea. Why don't you be that person who will help me advertise the new clothing line?"

"R-Really?"

He nodded with agreement.

"Wow!" Without any warning, Momo threw her arms around her boyfriend and tightly hugged him. "Did you hear that, Toshiro?"

"W-Whoa M-Momo, your grip is too...it's too tight!" he exclaimed, struggling to break free. "Oi, a-are you listening?"

The peach girl then gave him a kiss and said, "I get to help the famous video producer advertise the latest clothing line!"

"Y-Yeah..."

"So, you're going to accept my offer?" Kai asked.

Momo quickly turned her attention to him and nodded with agreement. "Hai!"

"That's great to hear!" The photographer then placed his hand into the inside of his jacket pocket and held out a small rectangular card. "Here is my contact information. Please give me a call once you consult with your folk and get their approval."

After accepting the card, Hinamori smiled. "Thank you! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!"

"In that case, I hope you hear from you soon."

"Hai!"

With a short farewell, the photographer left the two lovers alone. Once he is gone, Toshiro turned his attention to his girlfriend. "Momo, I don't think it's a good idea to be involved with stuff like this."

"Eh, why?" the raven haired girl asked.

Hitsugaya placed a hand on his waist and explained, "I know you wanted to do something like this sometime in your lifetime, but achieving it now may lead to problems in the future. What if you ended up getting famous or something?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not going to get famous just like that. My chances of becoming like that are slim. Besides, I don't think I'm that beautiful."

"You may not think that way, but I know there are people who think so." He then turned his head to the side and blushed. "...including me."

All of a sudden, Hinamori threw her arms around him. "Aw Toshiro, you're so sweet."

"Oi oi, are you even listening? There are consequences when you do something like this!"

She smiled. "Don't worry; I'll be careful."

Hitsugaya then folded his arms over his chest and gave her a look.

Knowing that he is not convinced, Momo suggested, "How about this: you'll come with me to the studio if I get permission from my parents?"

He remained that way until finally, he sighed with defeat. "Fine..."

She gave him a kissed on the cheek. "Arigato Toshiro; you're the best!"

"Yeah yeah, let's go home already."

"Hai!"

Over the next couple of weeks, Hitsugaya noticed a change in the peach girl. At first, he thought it was a coincidence and decided to let it slip. However, that all changed when the changes became fairly significant through her actions. "Momo, I really don't want to ask you this," Toshiro said as they are walking home from school. "Have you been...losing weight?"

"Hn, you noticed?" Hinamori asked.

He nodded with agreement.

She smiled at him. "I see; that's good to hear."

Hitsugaya raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what's good about losing weight?"

"I need to lose weight in order to look good for the advertisement."

"So...I'm guessing that your parents let you do this."

Hinamori nodded with agreement. "Yep!"

Toshiro then look down to get a better look at her figure. She does look a lot prettier. However, he's most concerned with right now is her condition in the future. "Momo."

"Yeah?"

He looked up at her and said, "I think you lost enough weight."

"What are you talking about? I still have a few more pounds to lose."

Without any warning, they heard a noise. The two teenagers stopped and looked down to see Momo's stomach growling. "See? Your stomach agrees with me. You probably haven't been eating healthy over the past two weeks."

He then took hold of her hand and started pulling with him. "Toshiro, I'm okay...really!"

"No, you're not; I'm taking you somewhere to eat out." Hitsugaya looked over his shoulder and continued, "The last thing I want is for you to get ill."

"I'm telling you, Toshiro. I'm fin-"

Noticing that she is about to fall, Hitsugaya quickly came to her and and caught the girl in his arms. "Oi Momo, pull yourself together. Momo! Momo!"

By the time Hinamori regained consciousness, she found herself in a familiar place. She looked back and forth to examine her surroundings. "I-I'm in my room."

"Momo, you're awake."

Recognizing the voice, she slowly sat up from bed to see the white haired teenager coming into the room with a tray of soup and sliced bread. After taking a seat on the edge of the bed, he put the tray aside and then turned his attention to her. "Toshiro, what are you doing here?"

He gave her a look. "I'm here because I was worried about you. You collapsed along the way home."

"Oh yeah...I wonder why that happened."

"That happened because your body doesn't have enough strength to keep you conscious. According to your family doctor, you would have become anorexic."

"A-Anorexic?"

He nodded with agreement. "Your parents changed their minds and decided to not let you go to the studio and do the advertisement."

"Eh, why?"

"It's for your health!"

"Bu-But..."

"No, buts! To be honest, I'm glad that you're not going to do the advertisement in that condition. No one is going to like anyone who is anorexic. You should have been taking better care of yourself."

"W-What are you talking about?" Hinamori protested. "Being anorexic i-"

"No, it's not good to be anorexic. You could die from all kinds of disorders and organ failures. I don't want to lose you to stuff that could be prevented."

"Toshiro..."

"Now, eat some soup that your mother made. It will help you feel better."

"He was concerned for me." Momo lowered her head and let out a faint smile. "Thanks...for looking out for me."

"It's the least I could do. Besides, I care about you. Even if you don't become a model, I still think you're the hottest girl on the block."

Momo giggled over the flattery comment. "By the way, how did you know about anorexia?"

"A week ago, I told my mother about your recent body change. She told me to pay close attention to you because you might end up losing too much weight and become anorexic."

"I see..."

"Enough with all the talking, it's time for you to fill your stomach."

"Hai."
