Karakura Town

Ichigo crashed into the classroom, "Oi, guys! Rangiku-san just invited us to a karaoke party tonight!"

Orihime clapped her hands and smiled, "Yay! Who else is going? I might make some snacks to bring along!"

"Count me out, I can't sing," Chad shrugged, "And Orihime, don't even think about it," he added with a grimace.

"Shinigami are so troublesome…" Uryuu sighed, "But I'll go, since I haven't got anything to do tonight."

"What you really want to do is see Nemu again!" Ichigo teased. Uryuu didn't say anything. "Ha! I knew it!"

"I wonder if Nii-sama is going?" Rukia mused, "I haven't seen him for ages!"

Tenth Division HQ

"MATSUMOTO!"

"Yes, taichou?" said the vice-captain in question innocently.

"You do realise that we have a mountain of paperwork to do, and you go and organize a KARAOKE PARTY?" yelled Hitsugaya.

"Well, um, yeah!"

Somewhere in Seireitei

"So you're all going to the party?" asked Renji.

"Yeah, me and Yumichika got nothing to do," said Ikkaku. The crossdresser next to him stopped fiddling with the feathers on his eyelashes and nodded.

"Me too, all the paperwork's done," said Hinamori

They all heard a loud cry of a certain busty vice-captains name coming from the opposite side of Seireitei.

"Too bad you can't say the same for Rangiku-san," commented Kira.

Outside First Division

"Hey, Kuchiki-taichou, ya going to Ran-chan's party tonight?" asked Ichimaru in his usual half-creepy, half-teasing way.

"Much as I would have liked to decline, it is always polite to go," said the stoic captain calmly.

"No way I would ever go somewhere like that, always better to polish your fighting skills!" commented Kenpachi loudly.

"Eh? Matsumoto-fukutaichou is hosting a party?" Unohana taichou cut in, "I would have liked to go but Ukitake-taichou is sick again." She looked at Kenpachi, "And Zaraki-taichou, you should follow Kuchiki-taichou's example. You were invited too." Her smile sent shivers down everybody's spine. It was amazing how her smiles could undermine everybody's courage.

"Yeah, Ken-chan! I wanna go!" yelled Yachiru.

"Well, it won't hurt if Ikkaku and Yumichika come along."

"I would have gone if I could, but darling Nanao-chan wouldn't let me!"

"Urusai, Kyoraku-taichou! You still have a lot of paperwork to do!" said the vice-captain, and hit her captain on the head with a heavy book.

"Waah, why do you always treat me so, Nanao-chan?"

"Ara, chibi-taichou, are you going to the party too?" asked Ichimaru again.

"One, it's Hitsugaya-taichou, and two, yes I am going but only because Matsumoto forced me to."

"Are you sure it's not because of a certain Fifth Division vice-captain?"

"…Urusai, Ichimaru."

"Kyaa, so it IS because of Hinam...ori-kun!

"...Just shut up before I Daiguren Hyorinmaru you."
