Meow: And here is pheonixflamechimera78's first serious fanfiction, a collection of oneshots. Don't ask about the name, it just seemed so touching…XD

But I will do my best to make every one of these stories sparkle, just like diamonds on the water.

Still, that doesn't mean they can't be kind of funny. It's hard to make such a sudden transition, from funny to serious.

Disclaimer: Pheonixflamechimera78 does not own Bleach. If you think we do, then…you need a talk with your psychiatrist.

So, Meow kinda proudly presents the short, irrelevant, random, and probably not all that hilarious first story of Diamonds on the Water, Discount.

Discount

Aizen Sousuke watched as the protective light washed over him and his fellow traitors. He observed as both Gin and Tousen said farewell to the shinigami who had once been their comrades, their friends, their subordinates. Having put Momo out of action already, he was without anyone special of his own to say goodbye to.

He kind of wished he hadn't disposed of his lieutenant so early, but that wouldn't have been a part of the plan.

He decided to use this opportunity to exercise his heavenly vocal chords. After all, gods do make long, influential speeches, right? What better time than now to practice for the future? And this was an absolutely perfect chance because he had an audience that was in total awe, although admittedly not for the reason that he would have preferred.

On a completely unrelated note, Aizen was really excited to reveal his new look. He looked so much eviler with the new hairdo and contacts.

It was time for him to get a new prescription anyways. Paperwork was death to the eyes.

Besides, the optometrist had a discount if he got contacts, and nobody ever said that future gods had to buy everything at full price.

All hail the cheap, hot, and evil god.

If you hate him, that's understandable, though. I used to, too.

Please review…or something…I'm tired.

Oh, yeah. If you want to suggest something, then review. No yaoi, though, because…well, I'm sick and tired of expressing my views on yaoi to people who probably don't even care over and over again! Go read Rants of DOOM! If you absolutely must suggest yaoi, then you must come up with three good reasons for that pairing that aren't along the lines of "But it totally makes sense!" or "But they care for each other!"

Only then will I write.

Anything else is fine. If you want to torture someone in a oneshot, fine. If you want to kill someone, fine. Whatever. I'm tired…still… If I can't write whatever you suggest for some reason, I'll PM you.

Most likely, though, I'll write it without any problems.

So if you like it, review. If you hate it, review. If you don't want to review, don't review. I won't throttle you or anything.

And I find myself quite pathetic because I managed to make a longer A/N than the actual story.
