Toshirou strummed his guitar thoughtfully

(Toshirou and Momo are around 21. Karin is no longer a tomboy but a girlie girl because she wanted to impress Toshirou. She wears alotta make-up and clothes that reveal a lot of her body. The songs in these stories are English and Japanese. But I translated the Japanese ones so they're English. )

Toshirou strummed his guitar thoughtfully. He was trying to write a song. Sure enough he had enough money to buy a song. Heck, he had enough money to buy a whole recording studio.

But money never can buy happiness.

"Toshirou!" yelled a certain orange-haired boy.

Toshirou scowled.

"Waddaya want Ichigo." he growled.

Ichigo entered the room followed closely by Renji.

"Time to practise." Renji announced.

"Already?" Toshirou asked as he glanced at his clock.

Ichigo nodded as he picked up his guitar. Renji sat at the drummer seat and fiddled with his sticks.

Toshirou started to strum a few notes before the door burst open revealing a girl with short black hair in a really short mini-skirt.

"What, Karin?" Toshirou growled.

Karin pouted.

"Can't I see my lovely, hot boyfriend?" she asked pushing her arms together making her breasts seem bigger.

Toshirou looked away and scowled more.

'Get out!" he commanded.

"But…."She started to say.

"Out!"

Karin frowned and stomped out of the room.

Ichigo frowned at him.

"You don't have to be so harsh on my sister, bastard."

"Yeah I do. How else do you think I can make her leave me alone? But even if I did tell her to get lost. She always comes back!"

"Let's get back to the music." Renji stated.

Toshirou started to strum the first few notes again before the door burst open again. This time, it was Yuzu. Karin's sweet twin sister. She held a plate of raspberry muffins and chocolate-chip biscuits.

"I was wondering if you guys were hungry. So I made some muffins and cookies." she spoke sweetly.

Renji lunged for the food. He stuffed 2 muffins and 3 biscuits down his throat.

"Thais Yuthu." he mumbled through all his food.

After they cleaned the plate spotless, Yuzu took it away.

'Let's see if we can actually play a son." Ichigo grumbled.

Once again, Toshirou began strumming some notes and soon after the door flung open for the third time.

"What's with people today? We just want to play a song!" Toshirou yelled.

Yoruichi stood at the door with an amused face.

"Did I interrupt something?" she asked innocently.

Toshirou scowled at her.

'Waddaya want Yoruichi-san?" asked Ichigo

Yoruichi turned her attention to Ichigo.

"I was wondering if you'll want to a bar with me tonight." she told them.

"Why the bar?" asked Renji.

"I want you to meet an old accomplice of mine."

"Why?" asked Renji

Yoruichi shrugged.

"Hey can't someone meet an old friend?"

"Then why do you want us to come?" asked a suspicious Toshirou.

Yoruichi lost her patience.

"Are you going to come or not!?" she half yelled, half asked.

They three band member looked at each other. An angry Yoruichi was never good.

"Yes." they all muttered in unison.

Yoruichi smiled and turned around.

"Good!" she exclaimed as she ran outside.

Renji turned to Toshirou

"Do you want to run through the song again?" he asked.

"Nuh. Someone might barge in again." Toshirou responded sarcastically.

--

Momo slowly opened her guitar case. She picked up her guitar an started to tighten the strings.

She turned to watch her fellow band members. Matsumoto was putting together her drum kit while Rukia was plugging in her keyboard.

Momo gave a small smile. Urahara walked over to them and tipped his hat.

"Ladies, today one of my old colleagues is coming here. "

"Kay, Urahara-san." Rukia told him.

He walked away leaving the band members to continue tweaking their instruments. The bar soon started to flood with people from all over Rukongai.

A tall tanned woman caught Momo's attention. Beside the woman were three guys. One had flaming red hair tied with a bandanna while another had hair the colour of oranges. The last guy had pure white hair.

Momo stood up and walked over to the microphone.

"Hey people, this is Peach here. Moon and Cat are behind me, today. We're gonna play a song I call 'Friend'. So enjoy."

Momo stood back and Matsumoto started beating the drums. Rukia and Momo joined in with the guitars.

Momo stepped up to the microphone again and began singing.

While we wore the same smiles,

We passed through the years together.

The sceneries kept changing,

And we struggled to accept it.

I throw away my useless pride.

May kindness come to this world.

I Gotta Say

Even if I show off my bravery and my strength,

I can't survive alone.

Our promise from that day,

It remains firmly in my heart, even now.

New encounters come after each farewell.

I find light down a new path, and move on.

Since the day I was born,

That has been the way my life is moulded.

Before we realized it,

We have both found our own futures.

I Gotta Say

Even if you are far away where I can't meet you,

There's a resilient bond between us.

"May my dreams come true."

I am praying from the bottom of my heart.

We're friends forever.

We pledged to meet again someday,

Crossed our little fingers,

And set out that day,

For unseen destinations,

And though we may be lost,

We are making progress,

Always.

Through the changing seasons,

And this fleeting moment,

I listen to these nostalgic melodies.

Even when I become an adult,

Some things won't fade,

Like our precious memories.

I Gotta Say

Even if I show off my bravery and my strength,

I can't survive alone.

Our promise from that day,

It remains firmly in my heart.

As life goes on...

I mustn't forget, yeah.

Don't let it go...

I remember this vast land and my friends.

Momo looked at the white-haired boy. And he looked at her. Their eyes locked. Momo turned around and blushed slightly.

The band members turned around and walked of stage.

Yoruichi also stood up and beckoned to the guys to follow her. They weaved through the sea of tables. She opened a door and stepped inside. Toshirou glanced at the door. It read 'Do not enter.'

"Yoruichi-san. I do-" Toshirou started but he was interrupted by cough from behind them.

"What are you doing here?" asked a feminie voice.

They turned around and the three band members were standing there. They were glaring at them.

The smallest girl stood forward.

" Are you working for Aizen?" she asked threatening.

Ichigo stepped forward.

"Who the hell is Aizen?" he asked.

"Just answer the question carrot-top." she growled.

A vein appeared on Ichigo's head.

"No. Midget." he repeated.

Rukia stood in a fighting stance and Ichigo did the same.

Someone place his hand on Rukia shoulder. Rukia instantly reached over for the hand and flipped the poor man over her shoulder onto the floor. She gasped when she saw who it was.

"Urahara-san. Gomen." she apologized.

Urahara slowly gave her thumbs up.

"I have taught you well." he grinned.

The three girls helped him up before the tanned woman knocked him down.

"Kisuke!" she squealed.

Everyone was silent.

"Am I missing something?" asked Matsumoto.

Urahara turned to the girls.

"Ladies, this is Demon Cat."

Yoruichi punched him on the arm.

"I mean Shihöin Yoruichi." he smirked as he rubbed his sore arm.

Yoruichi turned to the guy.

"This is Urahara Kisuke aka. Mr. Hats-and-clogs."

There was silence.

"So this is your colleague, Urahara-san." Rukia mumbled.

"Yep!" he replied cheerfully.

Yoruichi turned to the girls.

"Where'd did ya get that song?" she asked curiously.

Momo stepped forward.

"I wrote it," she whispered.

Yoruichi nodded and turned to Urahara. She whispered something in his ear. He grinned and nodded.

Momo felt like there was a pit in her stomach. This didn't look to good.
