A rustle in the bushes startled him from his daydream, and the next thing he knew he was looking into Momo's wide brown eyes, her ball rolling to a rest by his leg. He opened and shut his mouth a few times, gaze frantic as he tried to see if Mama was coming this way too. But Mama was fixing Momo's snack on a table and hadn't noticed yet, and for that Momiji breathed a sigh of relief.
"H-Hi, Momo," he finally managed, setting his sandwich down in its wrapper to pick up her ball. "You're at the park today, huh? Me too. You better get back to Mama before she starts to worry." Momo said nothing, but he knew she was shy around people she didn't know and so he only smiled encouragingly at her.
"Go on, Momo. I'll toss your ball to you."
She hesitated before noddingly slowly and took a few uncertain steps away, then took a few more. She stopped there to watch him pensively, waiting to see what he would do. As promised, Momiji grinned ear to ear and tossed her ball back to her underhand so that it would be easy for her to catch. Her eyes went wide as it flew towards her, but she managed to seize it with both hands before it hit her. It made her stumble back a half step, but after blinking down at the ball for a few seconds, Momo smiled.
Looking back up at Momiji hopefully, she made as though to throw the ball back to him but by then Mama had finished her snack and was calling out for her.
"Momo? What are you doing over there?"
"Go on," Momiji told her, voice dropping to a whisper. "You shouldn't keep Mama waiting."
At that, Momo reluctantly lowered the ball again before turning away, running back to their mother.
Once she was gone, Momiji let out a sigh, still smiling as he sat back against a tree. Maybe... Maybe that was what being a brother felt like.

Um, hello~? I'm Momiji Sohma, and I don't think I'm supposed to be here! Well, maybe I am... But I didn't get to tell Papa or Hatori where I was going and they'll worry! I'll get yelled at when I get home...
Oh! Is this another world? Does that make me a hero or something? You know, in the comics and on TV and stuff, people are always taken to other worlds so they can save it! I've always wanted to be a hero, actually! Can I be a prince? I look really good in prince clothes! Is Tohru here too? I promised her she could be my princess!
