"You're KIDDING me!" She stomped her foot angrily. The other shrugged as they looked at the pile of bills on the counter. "He leaves the house and leaves me with NO money and ALL of the bills…" She growled.

"Well then figure out a way to raise money…" The other leaned on the table as she listened to her best friend's tirade. She pressed her hands over her head.

"What? Like we're back in high school? Have a car wash?" The petite black haired woman fumed then dropped into a chair and tangled her fingers in her hair, dropping her forehead on the table.

"I dunno…" The red head sighed. "Think of something…" Her long red hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail, curling in a spiral at the end.

"Kazumi you must know something…" The brunette dropped her head on the table. "We can't pay for this at our current salary… not a huge house like this…"

"Huge house…" Kazumi lifted her head as Rukia continued.

"Huge house… too big for just two people! There are freakin WINGS in this house…" Rukia sounded dismayed. "I mean…"

"Rukia…"

"We'll never find a way to pay for all of the bills…"

"Rukia… we'll…" Kazumi tugged on her sleeve as she threw her arms into the air.

"NEVER! What does he expect us to DO? Never SLEEP?" Rukia fumed again.

"RUKIA!" Kazumi spun her around, her brilliant blue eyes lit with excitement. "Boarding house…" She spoke two words and suddenly Rukia's eyes lit with the same look.

"You're kidding…" They grinned at each other.

"I'm serious…" Kazumi grinned again. Rukia's face took on a mischievous look.

"We'll make up fliers… after we decide on a price…" Rukia flipped open her Mac and opened Word.

"We're being EVICTED?" His face was angry, his shoulders tensed. The black haired man across from him folded his arms.

"That seems to be the case…" The bespectacled student chuckled as he rested his feet on the table. A 3 AM the two were wide awake, as they worked nights usually they tended to sleep during the day and stay awake at night whether they had to work or not… generally… the next morning the two would probably sleep through the next night.

"Why are you so happy?" The orange haired doctor grouched. His amber eyes flashed as Uryu shrugged, his black hair was sloppy, spiked out in several directions, as was his best friend's. Ichigo growled under his breath.

"Because… we get out of this dump…" Uryu chuckled again. Their night time jobs were about to end and they would be able to get back on their regular cycle… it also meant they would have to start studying again…

"This dump… is the only thing we can afford right now… unless you want to be a stripper and make us some more money…" Ichigo lifted his eyebrows. Uryu frowned.

"No." His comment was flat as he drank from the beer bottle in his hand. He and Ichigo had worked at a brewery while they were starting medical school. So every month they would get an extra case or two of beer and they had begun to hoard it…

"So then what do you propose Mr. Smarty Pants?" Ichigo placed his hands on his hips. The well built student had a towel around his neck, he had been out jogging so his shirtless upper body shone with sweat. Uryu shrugged.

"I propose that we find a new place to live… and then we find jobs…" Uryu looked around.

"Great! I'll get to work on looking for some place to live… while you look around to find us a job." Ichigo patted him on the back.

"You are soooo helpful…" Uryu grumbled as Ichigo grabbed his shirt and pulled it on over his head, disappearing into the other room of the apartment.

Renji folded his arms across his chest, staring his best friends down. "What do you mean you want me to move in with you… you know your brother wouldn't like a stud like myself living with you two…" He grinned. Rukia slammed her fist on the table.

"DAMN IT RENJI! We NEED the MONEY!" Rukia threatened.

"Alright, Alright!" Renji leaned back. He was excited at the prospect of returning to Earth.

"Thank you RenRen…" Kazumi grinned and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck as Rukia did the same.

"As long as you drop the childhood nickname…" He grumbled under his breath. Kazumi shook him lightly.

"Never!" She shouted almost triumphantly.

"Alright Colonel Custer… calm down…" Renji laughed. Rukia shook her head as the former captain turned general danced in a circle.

"I'm honestly not used to this whole… poor thing…" Kazumi giggled. Kazumi Hasegawa. The recently inducted General of the Soul Society. After General Yamamoto's defeat during the Winter War Kazumi had stepped up where no other captain could, her spunk led the entire Soul Society to victory against Aizen's Army. She was well loved, and it was no surprise that when the time came to elect a new General in Yamamoto's place the young captain from squad nine stepped up.

Now she was stepping down a notch to live on Earth. She was rather lax about rules… but her means to the end were flawless… and while her methods were… unorthodox… she got the job done with more ferocity than any other shinigami had seen. Her spiritual pressure made even Byakuya Kuchiki weak in the knees. Her power was immeasurable by Seireitei standards, her beauty infinite beyond the earth itself, her wisdom vast and unbounded by even the oldest of shinigami. She was the true Queen among Queens. She dominated over those below her with a steady hand… and a little sake. But among these amazing things was a humble, silly, friendly girl who loved everyone and everything.

"You are so weird…" Renji shook his head. Kazumi smiled softly at him. Her long red hair hung to her waist and was usually pulled back in a neatly curled ponytail or a long braid. Her breasts were restrained beneath her yukata, which was backless, in a similar style to Soi Fon's. Her long limbs were bare except for the sleeveless jacket she wore over her back. She had explained at one time what her open-backed top was for but most people were still mystified.

"C'mon we have to find some tenants before we fix it up… because we can use all the help we can get…" Kazumi took her best friend's hands. "We'll do this…" She grinned. Her life was all about trying new things…

"This is one hell of a new thing…" Renji snorted and Rukia shook her head as they followed her.

XDDD This is going to be fun no?
