Momoko POV

I know you're expecting me to say I woke up bright and early, happy and stuff. But I didn't.

It was a cold sunday and raining forever. I never thought about how much today was until last night. I could barely sleep.

It was 8 am in the morning but looked like 9 o'clock at night. It was stormy outside.

I fixed me some coffee and sat on the couch. The only light was phone.

Soon around 11 I got dressed. Nothing really colorful more like a dark pink shirt with skirt, black tights and pink shoes. I grabbed my umbrella and walked outside. It wasn't that hard anymore.

I stood at the grey wall. Old and rigid, along was a rusty gate. Rows and rows of tombstones. On the highest hill under a willow tree was a round stone engraved

"Gone...But NEVER Forgotten."

"Happy birthday to you," I sung in a low quiet voice. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Daddy." I couldn't even finish without crying. "We love you, we do. We love you, we do. We love you dear Daddy. We love you we do."

When I heard evil, I thought of Mojo, Ace, Seduca, even the Rowdies. Now, I think of robbers, thieves and muggers.

"What right did you have to kill him?"

"So you and Natsuki have been getting along quite nicely," Kaoru smirked

"Hey!" I hissed

"What? You're dating one of my friends," she shrugged "No shame."

"We're not dating," I snapped

"Call it what you want," she grinned

"Momoko, I'm going to the store," Dad said

"Pick me up some brownie ball!" I yelled. He looked at me like "Really?"

"Please..Daddy," I smiled

"Okay," he smiled

"I love you Daddy!" I cheered.

"You are something special," Kaoru smiled

"Hey!" I hissed

About a couple hours later we were downstairs fighting over the remote.

"I wonder do Kuriko and Momoko fight like this," Miyako sighed "Of course they do."

"We Interrupt Your Currently Scheduled Program for A Current News Reports.

In the local and popular store hostages are being held. The robbers report unless Mr. Mayor hands over 2000 dollars they will be shot."

"Mr.Mayor won't do that," Kaoru said

"Yeah, he's to greedy for that," I giggled

BAM!

"Oh god, there shooting!" the news reporter yelled "Get in the van! Get in the van!"

After police barged in and arrested them witnesses left.

"Uh yeah five people got shot." the cashier "Like compared to me, they have cars, homes, family. I'm wondering why was I spared and not shot."

"Can you name one,"

"Yeah, one man he said he had two daughters. He was just about to leave when he forgot these snack and better get two for both of them. Then all that happened."
