Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.
AN: Well hello there! Preemptory strike: This is my first Bleach Fanfic! Very stoked and nervous at the same time. I'm much more familiar w/ the Escaflowne universe which is verrry different from Bleach, so please just indulge me if I'm a little off- I'm still trying to remember every ones first and last names for the love of god! Anyhow, I like casts to stay as much in character as possible in fanfiction. And while the plots might seem unlikely (which is really the fun part), I think it's still possible to stick to a character's true nature in most scenarios. Still, this is an AU, modern day sort of tale, but with only maybe two characters of my own creation and plenty of cameos from those that are familiar. Again- newbie- so excuse me if I'm missing something or taking a bit of creative license that might seem a bit out there. BTW I'm sure the band scenario has been done before, but hopefully not like this!
Eva's After Dark
Summary:
When, Kisuke Urahara, the owner of Eva's After Dark in Karakura Town has his nightclub sold out from under him, his featured singer, Evy, and her will of iron manager, Rukia, take matters into their own hands. Sparks fly as the singer and her manager clash with the Head of Kuchiki Corp and the flame haired record producer that works for him. But Byakuya decides that if this atmospheric little lounge and it's unknown talents are going to be a success it will be on his terms and soon they all find themselves grudgingly working together to not only make the band a household name, but keep the historic club (that has honestly seen better days) in full swing.
Even after their first meeting, Byakuya can't help but wonder whether he's in over his head as the chanteuse, a quirky young woman by the name of Evangeline Ebano, unwittingly sparks his interest! She's a lovely handful, whose unintentional purpose seems to be to distract him from his business goals. It isn't just the singer that's the problem however; her young manager is just as opinionated and stubborn. Trying to work with Rukia Kyoroku, Ichigo Kurosaki finds is like pulling teeth. As a producer with an eye for talent and an ear for music, Ichigo is used to full creative control, but with the midget manager insistent on being involved in every detail, he'll be lucky if his name makes it onto the album! With Chad on string bass, Ishida at the piano, and Shuhei on drums, along with a mysterious guitar player, the crew will find this one long journey that they can only hope will end with everyone's hearts(and heads) intact!
A tale of four stubborn people, none whom wear their heart's on their sleeves, trying to make a success of a possibly doomed business venture. But at the end of the day they'll simply discover the rules of attraction, the art of distraction, and ultimately the kind of conflict that comes with matters of the heart.
