Note to Readers: Happy Valentine's Day! Came up with this on the fly but couldn't help but be mad inspired by the LOVE floating everywhere in the air, suffocating peeps like me who only enjoy today for the food ;D. Please excuse any grammar mistakes since this author is already half way wasted on chocolate and wine.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own here is the plot. Everything else…nah!

Chapter 1: Prelude

Valentine's Day.

The one day set a side each year for the celebration of LOVE... The one day when roses and romance and declarations of undying admiration (more like obsession) rules the minds and hearts of countless love-struck idiots. The ONE day-if you're lucky-you get to spend with that special someone; sipping champagne, ravishing succulent chocolate, and simply gazing deep into each other's sparkling soulful eyes.

But then again- if you're NOT lucky-you might just find yourself…well…

Stuck with a highly amused midget, a dead (he's sure he's dead) Quincy, a drunken tangerine, a scowling strawberry sporting a black eye, a SUPER red pineapple, and an ice-cube.

For the aforementioned six, Valentine's Day turned out to be very UNLUCKY. For these unfortunate souls (quite literally for some), this 'Valentine Madness' all started with a Quincy.

A Quincy who tried and failed (quite painfully) to show his appreciation (he refuses to say admiration or heaven forbid THAT word) for a certain orange headed individual.

And this is how it begins…

Writer's Corner: Yup, to be continued. This is a multi-chapter story, my first one too. As I have said this is on the fly so I'm pretty much winging it, no revising what so ever. Constructive criticism is welcomed (the other kind is just plain rude people), and if you guys want to… REVIEW!

P.S: There will NOT be any pairing of any kind in this story…for now. So please, don't assume this is an Ishi-who or Ichi-what fan-fiction. This is simply me working out the plot bunnies and unleashing it onto unsuspecting Bleach characters. Enjoy!
