This is what I like to call…
A REWRITE!
So hm, yes…rewrites are supposed to be better…with my awful writing skills, I don't think that's possible…
Anywhoo, I'll try to make it better.
So yea, I think it will be based on the same thing as before, drabbles surrounding songs.
I'm still working on details…
And, I couldn't help but do this song…I mean, honestly, how could I not?

Drabble 1: Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
"Hm, ever notice how close to Hitsugaya-taicho Rangiku is?" Renji asked, taking another swig of sake.
"Hell of a lot closer than most people." Ikkaku answered, rubbing his head. "Why?"
"Well…I mean, there could be a spark there, you know." Renji hiccupped, griping the table for balance.
Ikkaku laughed, "Yea…right Renji. That stiff and Rangiku getting together would be like saying Hell ain't hot."
"You never know, Ikkaku." Yumichika said, silently sipping his drink. "He never shows much emotion, no matter what he's thinking. He could be thinking about her all the time…no one would know."
"I say you're both crazy." Ikkaku replied, grabbing Renji's sake and taking his own gulp.
"Then let's…test that theory." Renji said trying to stably stand. "We'll get them to go on a date…and see how it ends up."
"Oh, sounds fun!" Yumichika said, smiling. "May I pick out Rangiku's outfit?"
---
"Hitsugaya-taicho!" he looked up to see Renji and Yachiru running into his office.
"Hiya Shorty!" Yachiru screamed.
Hitsugaya rolled his eyes, "This isn't either of your divisions…"
Renji blinked, "What…? Oh yea, we know that, we just need you to come with us!"
"…why would I do that?" Hitsugaya asked. "Matsumoto isn't here again so I need to finish the work before tonight."
"We know where Boobies is!" Yachiru cried, grabbing Hitsugaya's hand and dragging him out of his chair. "She asked us to come get you!"
"Huh?" Hitsugaya groaned as Renji also helped push him out of the office. "Where is she?"
"Okay!" Yachiru shouted, ignoring his question. "First you need a new set of clothes…"
"Whoa…" he said, wrenching his hand from hers. "What the hell are you talking about? Why do I need different clothes?"
"Because you do." Yachiru said quickly. She suddenly pushed him into a nearby room, closing the door and locking it behind him. "Now change into those clothes or you can't come out!"
"Jeez Yachiru, relax…" he heard Renji mutter from the other side of the door.
"Dammit, open the door!" Hitsugaya shouted, pounding on it with his fist.
"Not 'til you change!" Yachiru laughed. Hitsugaya sighed and turned around. He scowled as he saw the clothes hanging on the wall. It consisted of a silk, long-sleeved shirt with microscopic blue stripes going vertically and a pair of black dress pants. He shrugged. He'd been in worse looking things.
He quickly changed and banged on the door, "Uh…I'm done."
The door flew open, "Aw, how cute!" Yachiru screeched. Hitsugaya twitched as she grabbed his hand again, "Okay! Now let's go, or you're going to be late!"
"Late…?" he looked towards Renji who smirked.
As they neared the restaurant, Renji looked at his watch, "Okay, not late yet."
"What?" Hitsugaya turned towards him. Renji just smirked again.
"Yay!" Yachiru said, rushing past the hostess. As she led him towards a table, she gasped. "We may be the first ones here! Ha! I beat Baldy!"
"…mind clueing me in here…?" Hitsugaya asked, knowing he wouldn't get an answer. Yachiru suddenly slammed him down into a chair.
"Seriously, you need to relax." Renji said, shaking his head as Yachiru messed with Hitsugaya's collar.
"Okay, stay here!" Yachiru said, wagging a finger in Hitsugaya's face.
"Um…" Before he could say anything else, she and Renji were gone. Sighing he turned towards the table, grabbing the glass of water that had already been sitting there. "What the hell is gong on…"
"Taicho?" he heard behind him. Without turning he knew it was Matsumoto. "Taicho…what are you doing here?"
"That's what I'd like to know." He said he motioned for her to sit down. As she sat he noticed she had a look of confusion on her face. "…why're you here?"
"Beats me." She said shrugging and opening a menu. "I was on my way back to the office when Yumichika and Ikkaku attacked me."
"Really…" he said, raising his eyebrow.
"You look nice, though." She said, sipping her water. "I've never seen you in anything other than your uniform or those clothes your gigai wears."
"Hn." He said. He scanned her body, seeing she was wearing a plain dark pink shirt and black skirt that went down to her knees. "You look good too."
"Thank you!" she said, smiling. "Yumichika picked these out…saying something like 'he will love these'."
"Whose 'he'?" Hitsugaya asked, his hand twitching in anger at the thought of another man here. Over the years, he'd built up a sort of need to protect his lieutenant.
Other people called it jealousy.
"I don't know."
"Hello," they both looked up to see a server had come to their table. "My name's Takeshi, may I take your order?"
"Oh, we're…we're not here toge…ther…" Matsumoto said, glancing at Hitsugaya.
Hitsugaya shrugged, "Go ahead." He said. "Since we're both here."
"Well…I'd like the filet mignon…oh and could you top it with chocolate sauce?" she asked.
"Sure," Takeshi said, "And for you sir?"
"The pasta." He said. Takeshi smiled and took their menus.
"Alright, coming right up."
"You sure it's alright, Taicho?" she asked, leaning forward. "I mean, I'm sure you have work to do…"
"Eh, it's fine." He shrugged. "Apparently we're both waiting for people who I'm betting aren't going to show up…so, why waste an evening?"
"Aw, Taicho, that's sweet!" she said, clapping her hands together. "But...why don't you think whoever we're waiting for aren't going to show up?"
"Just a hunch…" he said glancing around for the ones who dragged them both here.
"Here you go ma'am." Another server had appeared, placing a drink in front of Matsumoto.
"I didn't order a drink." She said.
"It's from those gents over there." He said pointing to the bar. Two men, one with a beard and the other with glasses, waved confidently.
Matsumoto scowled. "Well, tell them thanks, but no thanks. I'm not interested."
"Er...well…" the server stammered.
"Relay a message to them for me." Hitsugaya said icily. "If they do not stop their bastard-like actions, many consequences could befall them, such as being frozen to where they stand or at least seven captain class officers personally come after and murdering them."
"Uh…y-yes sir." The server said before bowing and walking over to the men. Hitsugaya and Matsumoto watched as the boy walked over to the men and repeated the message. The bearded man looked over at them while saying something to the server. The server also looked at them and then nodded. The man with glasses started to laugh and the bearded man soon joined in. The server shook his head and left.
"I don't think they believed him." Matsumoto said sourly.
"Let them think what they want." Hitsugaya said.
"Here you go!" Takeshi returned balancing two plates on one arm. Setting them on the table, he bowed. "Enjoy!"
They both muttered a small thanks before eating. "Mmm…this is delicious!" Matsumoto shouted.
"This is pretty good." Hitsugaya admitted. "I don't think I've ever eaten here."
"Well, there's a first time for everything!" she smiled and he couldn't help but smile back.
"Er...Excuse me." Matsumoto frowned. It was the Bearded Man. He smiled.
"What?" Matsumoto said. Motioning to her food, "I'm kinda busy here."
"I was just wondering…do you have a map?" he asked, leaning onto the table with his elbows.
"No, why the hell would I have a map?" she said. "Better yet, why do you need one?"
He smiled dreamily. "Because I got lost in your eyes."
Matsumoto started to cough. "Excuse me?!"
"So this is how you treat women, hm?" the man turned toward Hitsugaya, who grabbed his water. "Hitting on them when they already made it clear they are not interested?"
"Shut up, Whitey." The man growled. "No one asked you."
Hitsugaya stood, "Whether or not you asked me is irrelevant.".
"It is so relevant." The man said, turning towards Hitsugaya, who only reached about mid-chest on him. "Now mind your own business, kid."
"Seeing as how this lovely lady is my date for this evening, I think it is very much my business." He said, staring angrily into the man's eyes.
Hitsugaya felt a hand on his should and glanced behind him. The Glasses Man. He scowled, "Hey, everything okay over here, Ryo?"
"Fine, just fine." Ryo said.
"It's not really fine." Hitsugaya said. He then turned towards the Glasses Man punched him in the face, sending him flying backwards. "And don't interrupt me while I'm speaking."
"You little…" Ryo shouted raising his fist and gaining the attention of the whole restaurant.. Hitsugaya turned around and kneed him in the groin. Ryo fell to the floor, unable to move.
Hitsugaya sat back down and grabbed his fork. Matsumoto blinked as the whispers died down and everyone went back to their meals, "Taicho…"
"Hm?" he said, shoving his fork into his mouth and looking up at her.
"That was…that was incredible!" she shouted. "No one…not even Gin…has ever stood up for me like that before!"
He swallowed his food, "It was no big deal. I think it's wrong how men like that treat women as if they are things not people."
She smiled and leaned across the table, wrapping her arms around his neck and making him blush. "Thank you, Taicho." She whispered.
They both heard a high pitched squeal from somewhere in the restaurant, followed by a loud thump. Matsumoto leaned back into her chair. Hitsugaya raised his eyebrow, "Is it just me…or did that sound like Yachiru…?"
"I…don't know…" Matsumoto said. They both looked at each other, shrugged and continued their meals. As the night wore on, the couple talked about things ranging from the Shinigami Academy to the amount of sake Kyoraku-taicho drank daily. Matsumoto even succeeded in making Hitsugaya laugh…more than once.
"Aw hell," Matsumoto said, digging through her purse after Takeshi gave them the bill.
"What's wrong?" Hitsugaya asked, looking at the costs of their food.
"Crap, crap, crap…" she said as she continued to dig. "Come on, I know you're in here…"
"Forgot your wallet?" Hitsugaya assumed, smirking at her fluster. He pulled out his own wallet and set money down. "Don't worry 'bout it. I'll take care of it."
Her eyes widened as Takeshi took the money and left. "Are you serious…? But, I can't let you pay for mine…you're my captain for crying out loud! If anything I should be paying for you!"
Hitsugaya shrugged as Takeshi came back surprisingly quick with the receipt. "Think of it as a treat."
As he stood she stared at him confused. "You treating me to dinner? What will others think?"
He held his hand out to her, "Neh…let them think what they want."
She took it and he quickly led her out of the restaurant. He made a sudden turn down an alley, "Whoa…Taicho, where we going?"
"You live down this way don't you?"
"Well, yes, but you don't have to take me home…"
"I'm sure there's more guys like the ones in the restaurant out here." He said bluntly. She opened her mouth again to protest, but decided why complain about the escort? She looked down to see he still hadn't let go of her hand and smiled at his protective gesture.
They rounded another corner and stopped at a small apartment. "Ah! Here we are!" Matsumoto said, pulling a key out of her pocket. "Thanks for bringing me home, Taicho."
"It…was nothing." He said looking away. She figured it was to hide a blush. He could be too damn cute for his own good sometimes.
She opened her door, but instead of going inside, leaned down and pecked him on the cheek. "'Night Taicho." She felt his face heat up and she laughed, walking into her apartment and closing the door.
He looked up at the door and smiled before turning and heading towards his own home. Figuring no one else would be around to see him, he jumped into the air in excitement. Little did he know, there were four people standing on a nearby roof, smiles plastered on all faces.
"Well, I'll be damned." Ikkaku said.
"We told you." Yumichika said.
"Truth be told, I didn't think it was gonna work." Renji said, shrugging. "I mean, Yachiru almost got us caught with her mid-meal squeal."
"Well I couldn't help it!" she spat, crossing her arms. "It was just so cute how he protected her from those perverts!"
"It was very brave, I'd have to agree." Yumichika nodded.
"I mean, I could feel it right then!" Yachiru said.
"Feel…what?" Ikkaku asked.
"Oh, Baldy don't tell me you're that stupid!" Yachiru stuck her tongue out. "You can't feel it?"
"Feel what?" Renji said. "None of us have any idea what you're talking about."
Yachiru smiled and turned back to watch Hitsugaya practically skip down the street. "The air is full of love tonight."
So yea, I think this is a lot better than what I had before…but it still ain't the best.
This kinda went off of what me and my friends did for Kisuke and Haru when we wanted them to hook up! Haha, so it was easy to imagine what they were trying to do…
But we weren't intoxicated when we did it.
And, I think I am going to change the second drabble. I really need to get this story organized…(sweatdrop)
Please review and tell me what ya think!
