Yeah... well... this is a story that I started a while ago, and I thought I might as well post it here. I don't know when I'll next work on it, but please R&R and I will probably add some more if I find people are getting interested in it. Barriss-Offee (from DA) and I came up with this idea and have YET to finish it.

Bleach doesn't belong to me or Barriss-Offee , but to Tite Kubo.


Sure, it's a normal day at a normal town in a normal shop with a normal name called, "Urahara's Shop". There was nothing out of the ordinary, right? Other than the fact that ghosts and spirits overran Karakura Town, everything was pretty normal for high school student Ichigo Kurosaki. But, when trouble arose, he became Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki. His coach and sensei was Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki. The two were the closest of friends, but they often argued with each other… like they were now.

Ichigo and Rukia were over at Urahara Kisuke's place. And they were arguing about how they were stronger than the other.

"What would YOU know, Carrot Top?! I'm in the 13th Squad!" Rukia yelled.

"What did you call me, you midget?! Who was the one who rescued you as you were hanging for execution?!" Ichigo yelled back.

"It's not like I asked to be saved. You were the one who came to save me! I had told you to stay away!" She screamed.

Urahara Kisuke was sitting in front of the bickering couple, patiently waiting for them to stop. He lazily waved his fan and his friend and ally, Yoruichi Shihouin, sat beside him, also waiting for the two to calm themselves down.

"Okay! Both of you, be quiet!" Yoruichi barked, losing her patience.

Urahara sighed, "She's right. You two have been at it for over 30 minutes!"

"Then why don't YOU decide which one of us is stronger?!" Ichigo shouted annoyingly.

"Now, now, Ichigo. How about this? We'll hold a 'Battle of the Bands' competition, girls vs. guys. Both of you will go to the Seireitei and round up a few friends. You'll each get a week to practice, starting tomorrow, and then you'll perform and be judged. I myself will be one of the judges." Urahara declared, tipping his green and white striped hat forward. "I'll talk to Captain-Commander Yamamoto and we can have the rest of the Shinigami as an audience. It's about time that we see what other talents that you may have. Other than how much reiatsu you

have and how strong your Zanpaktou is."

"What?! You've got to be CRAZY!!" Ichigo exclaimed.

Rukia quickly turned to Yoruichi. "Hey, Yoruichi! You wanna be in the band?" She asked quickly.

"What?! Rukia! You can't do that!" Ichigo protested, "That's not fair!"

Yoruichi ignored him and smiled. "Of course, Rukia." She agreed.

Ichigo pointed an accusing finger at Yoruichi. "Hey, what's your problem?!" He yelled, fuming.

She gave an easy shrug. "What? Rukia asked me, and I said sure. What's wrong with that?" She contradicted.

"EVERYTHING!!" He screamed.

Urahara immediately knew he would throw a HUGE tantrum, and so he quickly opened up a Senkai Gate into the Soul Society and pushed him through. Both Rukia and Yoruichi stepped through after Ichigo and Urahara closed the gate, sighing.

"This will be very interesting." He smirked.


Well... I hope you've liked it and are interested in it. Please Review and I might update it as soon as I can!
