When Toshiro didn't respond, Momo turned her body and started watching the documentary. "Hmm…" She hummed, getting Toshiro's attention.

"What?" He asked.

"You just don't seem like the kind of person who would like penguins enough to watch a two-hour long movie about them," Momo pointed out. He honestly didn't, but who knows, maybe Toshiro had a soft side. "Like a watermelon… Hard on the outside but soft on the inside? Mmm, watermelon." She thought, easily side-tracked.

Toshiro passed her the remote and told her, "You can change it if you want." She clicked the T.V off and asked, "So when are you going to get back into your apartment? Urahara-san should be back soon, right?"

"So you didn't get the message either; he'll be gone for three more days," Toshiro explained as he began to doubt if there even was a message from the crazy man in the first place. He watched as Momo's eyes widened.

"But there must be somebody else who has a key! Won't your parents be back soon, as well?" She may not live with her parents, but Momo at least knew if she ever got locked out that Rangiku would be back eventually to help her.

"I don't live with my parents. I would stay with my grandmother, but she lives in a retirement home that doesn't allow visitors to stay the night."

"Any of your friends willing to let you stay with them?" Momo suggested.

"Most of them are out of town, but I suppose I could call the few who are still here," Toshiro pulled out his cell phone and excused himself to the balcony, where he remained for a while. Momo could tell by his body language that the responses he was getting were not good.

He came back inside and flopped down on the couch. "I can't stay with them… Argh, I don't have enough money to go to a hotel for even 3 days."

"Oh! You could stay with us then! I'm sure that Rangiku wouldn't mind!" Momo suggested smiling.

"How can she say that? I'm a stranger she met less than a few hours ago… is she really that nonchalant about things like this?" Toshiro thought, questioning Momo's sanity.

"Are you sure? Where would I sleep?" He asked.

"Hmm…" Momo thought for a second, then exclaimed, "I know! You can sleep in my room! I can always just sleep in Rangiku's room."

"I wouldn't want to impose," He insisted. "Besides, you hardly know me."

Momo shook her head, "Well I wouldn't know anybody if I didn't take the time to get to know them. Besides, Hitsugaya-kun, you have nowhere else to go." He was silent for a second, so Momo took this as him agreeing. She stood and began walking to Rangiku's room. "I should probably ask her first, though."

Toshiro nodded and relaxed back onto the couch as he began to plan for the next few days. "Need to go out and buy a toothbrush…maybe just two shirts and pants, I needed to get some more anyways," He thought, making a list in his mind.

Rangiku was sitting on her bed with her laptop, most likely on FaceBook, when Momo popped in and sat in her desk chair. "I have something to ask you!" she exclaimed, causing Rangiku to look up from the computer and pay attention.

"What is it?"

"If it isn't too much to ask, do you mind of Toshiro could stay here for the next few days? He lost his key, and Urahara-san won't be back for a while, and none of his friends or family are able to take him. I would have to sleep in here, though." Momo asked hopefully.

Rangiku's eyebrows shot up and she laughed. "Sure, of course that's why you want him to stay here!" She teased as she shut her laptop. "Come to think of it, I don't remember you ever telling me how you two met- was it romantic? You look so cute together! But if you're really like that, maybe you should sleep in your room also…" The woman began to ramble on, and Momo cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"Huh? Toshiro and I aren't like that!" Momo exclaimed, shaking her head. "I just met him a little bit ago in the hallway because he couldn't get into his apartment!"

Although she was disappointed, Rangiku shrugged and figured she could finally have a chance to hook Momo up with somebody. "Whatever. Sure, I guess you could sleep in here." Being her lazy self, Rangiku decided to add a condition. "But only if you go to the store and pick up some nail polish for me; I ran out!"

Momo agreed to those terms, then left for the store, leaving Toshiro and Rangiku alone. Unfortunately for him, Rangiku actually decided to come out of her room this time.

"Hello! So Momo just informed me that you actually aren't her boyfriend…shame! You guys would look so cute together!" She could see a vein pulsing on his forehead.

"Don't know how I'm going to stand this for three whole days…" He muttered.

"I'll ignore that! But you know, we should get to know each other, huh?"

Toshiro opened his mouth to respond and grimaced as she sat down beside him with a bowl of chips. "You have no problem interrogating strangers?"

She grinned. "Nope, no problem at all! So, are you sad that Momo's giving you her room, but won't be in it with you?"

Toshiro's face began to flush. "Are you kidding me! I just met her a little bit ago!" He tried not to sound too angry; he heard that people that you were lying if you sounded angry.

"Oh?" Rangiku teased. "But you do at least think she's pretty?"

"I told you, I haven't known her for even more than a day, so how would I know such things!" Toshiro exclaimed.

"It doesn't take more than a glance to tell if you think somebody is pretty. But you are also admitting that there is a chance that you will come to know things like that?" Rangiku asked, trying to obtain more information.

Toshiro got up from the couch and went for the door. "Forget it! I'll be back in an hour!"

He passed Momo in the hallway, who was coming back from the store with Rangiku's nail polish.

"Eh? Where are you going?" She asked.

"I'll be back later… and tell Matsumoto to leave me the hell alone!"

Yay, another story for me to work on! I knew having a one-shot series would somehow pay off! Or help me somehow… Anyways, PLEASE LEAVE ME A REVIEW! By the way, the school year isn't based on the Japanese school system, but the American system…

And now for some more news, I'm going on vacation soon, during which time I will probably not have access to a computer, and I won't be back until maybe August 3rd? I'm not leaving for another 10 days though, so I'll try to get in another update before I leave.

Happy Summer,
