There was a captain's meeting. The Captain-commander was detailing some new policy or another that Room 46 had just handed down. The various Vice-captains were standing outside, chatting away as they waited for the meeting to finish. It was a fairly typical day, nothing unexpected or dramatic was suppose to happen. The doors opened and the captains started filing out. Captain Ichimaru ignored Kira who eagerly came-up to him. This was not cause for concern as that was fairly typical behaviour for Captain Ichimaru. However, when he walked upto Captain Hitsugaya and Vice-captain Matsumoto, Captain Hitsugaya at least shot him a suspicious look as he asked, "Can I help you, Ichimaru?"

Ichimaru ignored him, instead he looked straight at Matsumoto Rangiku and said, "Let's get married."

All assembled stared at Ichimaru in shock. Especially Rangiku, who after long pause managed, "Wha... what?"

"Ya heard me," said Ichimaru, "I have been th'n about how fun it was when we used ta play house an' just the other day I saw a really nice house up fer sale. So I thought ta myself, it' high time I made an honest women out a ya. Plus I was think'n we should have babies! I like the idea of hav'n yer bossoms filled with milk and suck'n..."

"GIN!" interrupted Aizen, "Perhaps you and Matsumoto-kun should have this conversation in private?" he suggested.

"Ya don' like milk, Cap'n Aizen?" wondered Gin.

"Gin, you are like a son to me," replied Aizen, "As any good parent I do not want to know what you do behind closed door."

"Don' good parents also want grandchildren ta babysit?" wondered Gin.

"Yes..." started Aizen.

Gin interrupted him by saying, "Great!" turning back to Matsumoto, "See! Cap'n Aizen even volunteered ta babysit our kids! So it' all settled! I'll go buy the house, we'll get married and move in ta the house and then we'll have babies!"

"Gin!" screamed Matsumoto, "You can't just decide all that by yourself! I haven't said yes yet!"

"Yes ta what?" wondered Gin, "I didn' ask ya if ya would marry me. I said we are gett'n married cause I know ya love me and want ta marry me."

"Gin! You are such an infuriating man!" screamed Matsumoto, "Not to mention full of assumptions! I could so say no!"

"Go on then," challenged Gin with a big grin.

Matsumoto opened her mouth, closed it again before finally giving-in, "This is not how I imagined this moment," she confessed.

Suddenly Yachiru laughed and said, "Ran-chan should be happy that this moment came! I always thought Foxy was a no good, afraid of commitment type who would never, ever marry Ran-chan! But now, I am happy! I get to plan a wedding! How about next Sunday at Bya-kun's house!"

"Wait, what?" cried Kuchiki Byakuya but he was entirely ignored.

"Great idea, Yachiru!" said Gin, "Have fun, plan'n the wed'n ya two!" he said, "I'm of ta buy a house."

"Gin!" Matsumoto called after him, "I want to see the house first!"

As Matsumoto took a determined stop towards Gin, Yachiru said, "I am going to go order the food and the decoration and tell all the kimono shop owners to send all their wedding kimonos to Ran-chan so Ran-chan can choose the perfect one!" said Yachiru before running-off.

"Wait Yachiru!" Matsumoto called after her, "I want to see the decoration and decide the food!" But Yachiru wasn't listening. Matsumoto sobbed, this was truly getting out of hand.

Sighing Nanao added, "You better go after Captain Ichimaru and make sure he doesn't buy a house for the two of you to live that you absolutely hate. That's after all a more permanent thing. I will try and reign in the president as much as I can."

"Thanks, Nanao!" Cried Rangiku, cheering-up a little as she took off after Ichimaru, as Nanao chased after Yachiru.

"What was that about my house!" cried Byakuya to no one in particular.

"How did I volunteer for baby sitting?" wondered Aizen of no one in particular.

"Did that fox faced son of a bitch just ask my Vice-captain to marry him?" asked Hitsugaya, "More importantly, does this mean I have to do all the paperwork for the next week?"

"Next two or three weeks, I would imagine," replied Kyoraku with a wicked twinkle in his eyes, "They will of course be going on a honeymoon."

It was then that Hisagi started wailing as Iba silently cried out a river, "No!" cried Hisagi, "She can't marry that bastard! She just can't! It's not beauty and the beast! It's more beauty and the grinning demon! This is just so wrong!"

And that was how Seireitei was plunged into chaos and also how Captain Ichimaru and Vice-captain Matsumoto ended up married with children...

Author's note: Just a random bit of Gin and Rangiku fluff. Sort of a what-if Aizen was just what he had first appeared, I.e. a benevolent but powerful captain who is just nice, and so Gin wasn't mixed up in a conspiracy to over throw Seireitei.
