"Attention all! And Welcome to the Tsubasa-Bleach Awards Ceremony!" a slightly nasal sounding voice came from the centre of the stage. "I will be your host tonight, Kai!" the stuffed soft toy Lion pranced around excitedly.

Somewhere from among the audience, Ichigo shouted "You're KON, dammit, not Kai! Stop fooling around, anyway!" and he booed loudly. Kon shouted back, "We'll see who's the real fool later!"

"And Mokona is your co-host for the night! Go Go Tsubasa!" yelled Mokona, who was capering and bouncing.

"We begin with the first category: Best Hero. And the nominees are…" Kon opened the envelope and read the first name out, sputtering slightly. "Kurosaki Ichigo! There must be a mistake! He can't be the hero, I AM THE HERO OF BLEACH!"

"Hah, shut up! Everyone knows that I am the real hero of the series," said Ichigo proudly. And for good measure, he gave Kon one of his death glares, and was threatening to come up and squeeze the stuffing out of the poor plushie when Mokona continued.

"And the next nominee is Syaoran. Wait, Mokona is confused. Real!Syaoran or Clone!Syaoran?" Mokona's face was a blur of bewilderment. "Wait, Clone!Syaoran ate Fay's eye, so I guess it must be Real!Syaoran!" Mokona was happy again, after having solved this puzzle.

There was a drumroll, echoing thunderously across the hall.

The panel of judges, actually a motley crew of Bleach and Tsubasa fangirls and (a small number) of fanboys, started yelling as to who the winner was.

Some of the more distinct voices were heard:

"Ichigo should get it! After all, he wields a super-huge zanpakutou and he's way cooler than a geek who's into archaeology! And can't fight with a sword!"

"Syaoran rocks! What's with the weird orange hair anyway? And besides he can fight, he's got a reason to. Who knows why the hell Ichigo does the things he does? We all know Syaoran loves Sakura!" at this point, Syaoran was blushing furiously.

"Shut up! Syaoran has a sword, ok. Wait a minnit. That's the other Syaoran. Sorry! My bad…"

"They've both got identity crises. We got Syaoran with a clone, and Ichigo with his hollow!Ichigo. So they're actually kinda the same. But check out the scowl Ichigo has. It's like it's stuck to his face 24/7!"

"It's a whole lot better than having either a determined look, a blur look or love-sick look. That is like, y'know, soooooooooo one-dimensional. Not Cool."

"Totally, man. That Syaoran is one love-sick puppy."

"How'd you know Ichigo ain't in love?" The rejoinder was that it wasn't canon, and besides, the whole point was about who was a better hero, anyway.

"ICHIGO! ICHI-GO!" a few determined fangirls began to chant.

Not to be left behind, the Tsubasa team took up another chant "SYAO-RAN! SYAO-RAN!"

The whole hall was in chaos. Short of tearing each other's hair and clothes off, the Tsubasa and Bleach teams were up in arms and yelling at each other.

Then out of this unruly mess, there was a phenomenally loud and powerful voice.

"SHHHHHHHHHHUTTTTTTTTTTT UPPPPPPPPPPP!" It was amazing just how loud a little lion plushie could shout.

"I swear these things are rigged. I have the official results here: and from the votes received, Kurosaki Ichigo wins." Kon looked further down at the piece of paper he was holding. "Says here something about hairstyles and having more moves. Oh, and the whole id-crisis thing didn't actually matter."

Ichigo looked smug, but he still managed to cross over and talk to Syaoran who was now in his blur look phase.

"You're pretty great too, y'know."

"The Awards will continue with the next category: Best Heroine!"
