hello! back with another chapter! this took place when Hitoshi first met Momo. 

Hitoshi was on a walk one stormy day, deciding to leave home last minute as the rain was non stop. His older brother started an argument with him and blamed it on him when their dad got home. He ended up fighting his brother shoving him harshly against the fridge. His brother was hitting him hard and he was pulled away from him by his dad, and getting beat up by his dad. Hitoshi grabbed his other back pack from his room, shoving clothes, saved up money, and a few other things. His car was in the shop so he didn't have a car at the moment. He left out of the house, walking off with a sore back and leg, a developing bruise on his jaw. Apart from the black book bag on his back, he had on a track suit he slipped on last minute, he no longer cared about the rain, he just wanted out. 

 He was far from his house at this point, walking along side the highway as cars pass by, occasionally a semi truck. A dog walks up to him from the guard rail, barking at him. Hitoshi ignores her and kept walking, making the dog whine. A coat of somewhat wet white fur and icy glacier blue eyes that suited the husky. She kept following him in silence while on his walk. "What the actual (__) do you want?! Go away to whoever you belong to!" he looks at her with a glare. She tilts her head, sniffing at his shoe and ankle. He finds a small branch and waves it at her and throws it far from him and kept walking as the dog dashed off for it. Finally, some peace, geez. A few minutes later the same dog gets in front of him with a stick in her mouth panting. "I'm not playing fetch! Go away!" he tries to grab it from her but she pulls back. He ends up stumbling backwards and falls back, "You little mother-" he gets cut off from her licking at his face. "Stop! Q-Quit!" he sits up giggling. "Dang it I just washed my face" he mumbles as she pokes her nose at him. Hitoshi notices the dog wasn't wearing a collar. Later on Hitoshi walks into a nearby shelter with her.

"Ah there she is! Seems like she went off wandering again." the employee says, with relief. "Does she have an owner?" he asks them.  "Nope. She was originally found on the side of the road. She once had an adoptive owner but they brought her back here. She's very friendly" "I can see that, she followed me all the way here" he says, annoyed. "Really? Well she must really like you. We was about to transfer over to a different shelter, if you want you can adopt her. She's really energetic just so you know. The owner that brought her back said they couldn't keep her to sit still." 

"I don't really have any space at the moment" he says. "Alright, if you change your mind, she'll be at the other shelter" "Thanks" he walks off, and goes to a nearby bathroom to wash his face as the staff took her away. Hitoshi heard her whines and whimpers as he got out, he stops at the door. "Wait. I'll take her- how much is she?" "$70" Hitoshi reaches in his backpack and took out some money, he had saved up 500. I can't believe I'm doing this, he thinks. He wasn't sure if he could keep up with an energetic dog, he's already extremely depressed. But he thought of how the poor dog would end up in a cage, a prison, waiting to get out, just like him.

But she'll have to go back home with him so how would they react? He no longer cared, he went to a nearby store and bought a few things. He didn't want to bother Antonio for another stay. Eventually, he made it home, surprisingly his parents said nothing about the dog, not wanting to argue more. They only said to keep it out of the way, he would have to take care of her and when at school it must stay in his room. Hitoshi tried it once and found her outside on the porch, apparently she was making so much noise she was let outside, with nothing to eat all day. Momo was fiesty, she was free spirited, and when Hitoshi's older brother tried to pick at her she bit at him. She became protective of Hitoshi eventually. It seemed, Momo cared for him more than his own family.
