Me Notes: Mmkay, sorry I haven't updated anything! I am not lazy... okay am I... but it was school that kept me away. Like my dad says, "That's the consequence of been smart, you get the work..." Thanks to those who read and left a review. Also an enormous thanks to hitsuhina4ever, cuz if you didn't push me I'd be wasting my only free days of no homework on nothing! State wide tests can help out, I guess. I'll try to update every other weekend or so. Enough with my babbling! Me no own Bleach, and I hope ya enjoy!

Ch. 2: I forgot...

6:00 am:'So warm... I never knew my bed could get so warm...' Momo's old baby habit was when she would rub her face in her pillow whenever she was comfortable or getting comfortable to go to sleep. She did so, but it didn't feel like her pillow. It was a lot harder and it smelled different... it smelled like--. The girl quickly sat up and looked down at a shirtless Hitsugaya.

In a flash, she was up and out of his room and in her own. 'I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS ON HIM!!' Momo wanted to scream, but if she did then Hitsugaya would wake up and ask why she screamed. Instead she jumped on her bed, face in pillow, and punched and kicked around for a good five minutes. 'I forgot that I always sleepwalk whenever I stay in a new environment. Uhggg! This is gonna take some use to it... I know! I'll take a long bath to relax myself!"

Hinamori gathered her clothes and towel and headed down the hallway, past Hitsugaya's room after a quick glance through the crack, and into the bathroom right next to his room. She got her bath and bubbles ready and sat in. The warm water relaxed her muscles and soon all that worried her was forgotten. Most of the time was spent on day dreaming of the new people she would meet at her new high school. 'Only senior year left... It's going to be hard since most of my classes are going to be in the college that's right next to it. I hope the guys here are better lookin' than the ones back home...'

Remembering hot guys, she thought of her neighbor and sunk into the water. The warm water made her face feel even hotter, but she could not deny that he was handsome.

'Uhhmmmmmmm... Why did the warmth leave me...?' A dazed Hitsugaya sat up and looked at his alarm clock. 'Nine sixteen, that late already... I better get the most of my sleep now; once school starts who knows how much sleep I'll get.' Toshiro lazily got up and like every morning when he woke up, he headed for the bathroom.

The lock wasn't even placed and he walked in right when Momo emerged from underwater. His eyelid were heavy, but they shot up when he saw her. Immediately, he spun around and slammed the door behind him. His face was bright red and it looked even brighter compared to his hair. "I'm sorry," he whispered knowing she couldn't hear him. 'I forgot that I live with her now...'

Without letting himself think he threw on a shirt without caring if it was on right, put on some running shoes to escape the apartment and grabbed is wallet. Who knows how long he planned to stay away? At first he ran without knowing where he was going, but gradually he slowed to a jog, walk, and finally a standstill. His mind returned to the reason for escape, Momo. He didn't completely see her, only part of her chest and shoulders, but it was enough to make him blush like crazy. Looking around to distract himself he found a McDonald's and decided to get breakfast.

Hitsugaya was halfway through his breakfast when a guy with long blond hair sat in front of him and joined him. "That's a first, we usually don't see people in swimming trunks this early in the day in this town."

For the first time Toshiro looked down and saw that his shirt was inside out and he was in his swim trunks; the trunks were the first thing in reach last night. "I just needed to escape, it's a long, personal story." The way he said it sounded final. No more discussion.

The guy nodded as if he understood everything. "I hear ya. Abusive dad, huh? Just kidding. Oh, my name's Izuru Kira. Are you going to one of the colleges here?"

"Yeah." Hitsugaya took a sip of his drink and looked outside. "You?"

"Yep, I'm a going into Nightwood as a freshman," Kira took a bite of his biscuit and asked for his name.

"Oh, name's Toshiro Hitsugaya and same as you, freshman."

Izuru burst out laughing, startling Hitsugaya and everyone around him. "Sorry. I can tell you're not much of a talker. I'll leave it at that."

For the rest of the meal they stayed in silence. It didn't feel awkward or annoying. "Well, I'll leave you to your thoughts, see ya around Hitsugaya." Kira threw away his trash and left. Hitsugaya was shocked that he would just leave like that. Most of the people that approach him push him to no ends and to tell the truth, Kira appeared to be like those people.

'Then again,' Hitsugaya finished his breakfast and got up, 'I just met him. He could turn out to be worse.'

When Hitsugaya entered the apartment everything looked in order and there were even furniture in the living room. "What the-?"

"Oh, hey, I... uh... took the liberty and arranged the living room. There's still room or I could take down some stuff if you wanted to up anything," Momo had no clue what to say so she rambled most of it. She then saw him stare at the furniture, "My older sister brought 

that by. Most of it is has been used, but it's still in good shape. The only thing I couldn't get was a TV. The refrigerator now has food so if you ever want anything you can get whatever. I'm not much of a cook so just letting you know, don't expect me to do much... if that's okay?"

"How long was I gone?" Toshiro was amazed at how much she completed when he was gone.

She glanced up at a clock placed in between the small kitchen and living room. "Eh... an hour approximately? Like I said, you can take down anything that bothers you, it won't bother me. I'm guessing you're older than me so the house mostly belongs to you and-"

"How old are you Hinamori?"

"Uh... I just turned eighteen last June," Momo looked away to hide her curious eye. "I'm going to be a senior at the Nightwood High School."

'Barely an adult,' he thought. Even though she looked away, he knew she was curious about him. "I turning twenty this December. Freshman at Nightwood College. Nah, I don't have much anyways. It looks... nice."

Even though it was only a little compliment it made Hinamori extremely happy.

"Don't worry about food, I really don't and didn't expect much from you. We're just under the same roof. Ehh... ehmm... sorry about earlier..."

She blushed remembering and shook her head, "Don't worry about it. It was my fault for not remembering to lock it." 'I should also apologize for sleeping on you.' Momo looked down to hide the other blush that would blend in with the first.

Toshiro went to his room and quickly glanced in her room. It was in chaos. She looked exhausted and probably worked real hard on the living room and kitchen instead of working in her room. 'Nice girl.'

Me Notes: Kay, I'm done for now! Hope it's not too confusing. Like I said, I'll try to update my stories as soon as I have time and I'm not tired. Teachers expect way too much from me... Anyways, thanks for reading!
