Yo! Welcome to the official addition to the SWA Series. This is Number Two! First off, I want to thank all who voted on my poll and those who sent me pm's with your requests, I'll do my best to fulfill your wishes. I also wanna thank all who supported, read, and reviewed the last story, Onsen Trip. If you have not read Onsen Trip or have not finished it I say "Stop reading this and go read it!" because you can call this a sequel and sequels don't make sense unless you see the prequel.
I would also like to announce that there are two new couples in here. Couples that will be revealed soon. (Hint: One contains an OC)
Moving on, this story is also a Valentines Special for Valentines Day coming up. Anyway, without further delay, allow me to introduce the second addition to the SWA Series. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I wish I did, but I do not own Bleach or anyone involved.
Valentines Surprises
Chapter 1
Announcing The Latest Project
"This meeting of the SWA has been called to order. Everyone please take your seats." Nanao called. The women took their seats and Yachiru hopped onto the podium.
"Hiya! First is old business! Our trip to the onsen was the best decision ever! Our club savings was well spent! And Ken-chan says some of you got someone to shack-up with, whatever that means." Yachiru announced. Some of the women blushed.
Nanao removed Yachiru from the podium. Clearing her throat, she began.
"Anyway, the trip itself has decreased our savings and now we have very little funding. Without money our club activities and everything are in trouble. Yamamoto says unless we find some way to raise money we'll have to disband the SWA." There were multiple groans and sounds of panic from the women. "Don't panic, we have a plan to raise money. So moving onto new business, I'd like to first announce that Valentines Day is right around the corner." Nanao pull out something from under the podium. There was lots of red and pink.
"What is that?" Isane asked. "It's a gift. You can't see what's inside because it's wrapped. But in the living realm Valentines Day is a day for lovers. Soul Society doesn't really celebrate it. But this year we're going to use this holiday as an opportunity to raise money for our funds." Nanao unwrapped the gift to reveal it's contents.
"There are really two days to celebrate love. The first is Valentines, that's when women give their boyfriends gifts. The second is White Day which is when the men give their girlfriends gifts, White Day is on March 14, exactly one month after Valentines.. Of course not all places have White Day, sometimes they only have Valentines Day. In any case, we're going to create and sell valentines." Nanao set the gift on the table for them to pass around.
"So how are we going to make them?" Kiyone asked. "Well, here's the thing. We used the last of our savings to buy supllies to make these valentines. So now we have to not only use these suppiles, but we have to raise our money back. If all goes well, we'll raise enough to keep our club, and we'll make this a very memorable day for lovers." The women clapped at Nanao's brilliance.
"So now today's meeting is about pitching ideas for valentines." Nanao said. Everyone remained silent. "Come on, someone must have one idea."
"Are we making gifts for both men and women?" Momo asked. "Yes, we don't know how this will turn out so White Day will have to wait. For now we'll just stick with making this a day for both." Nanao said.
"Let's not forget, not all men like cute things, we have to create valentines that men will like too. Of course we can't expect 11th Division to be involved with our sales, they're much to disgusting and vile to know what love is. Other than their love of fighting. And we can't expect them to buy valentines for their zanpakutos." The women laughed at Nanao's joke.
"What kind of supplies did you buy?" Rangiku asked.
"We bought cards and envelopes, we bought recipes for chocolates, boxes, all kinds of things. we even reserved a greenhouse in Rukongai to keep flowers in. Remember it's still winter. We've got pretty much everything we need in the SWA Storage Room." Nanao clarified.
"Well, if we have the stuff then why do we need to pitch ideas? If you know what's in the living realm, why don't we just do the same thing?" Yoruichi asked.
"Technically we are. But we need ideas to use for advertising and we need designs for cards and stuff." Nanao explained. "So all we gotta do is come up with romanticy stuff and sell it?" Rangiku asked. "That's pretty much it." Nanao said simply.
"Well how hard could it be?" Yachiru asked. "This is also very good practice for those who have boyfriends." Nanao added with blush on her cheeks. Then the was a big 'Oh!' from everyone as they understood. "There we go, now let's start taking in ideas..."
"What? You want me to come to Soul Society for Valentines Day?" Orihime asked over the phone. "Yeah, or sometime before. I need your help with this project. Technically you're a member of the SWA, so it shouldn't be a problem. Plus you're more familiar with the holiday than I am." Rangiku said.
"Well, I guess I could come but what about school? I already missed so many days..." Orihime said. "I could always come and pose as a relative and get you out of trouble. Plus, Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu can come too. They can be part of the experiment." Rangiku suggested with a grin. That meant more business.
"I don't know, I mean it sounds like fun but I'm not sure about skipping school again." Orihime said with a worried tone. "You don't have to but I'm sure this would be great for you. It'll be a way for you to find something for Ichigo for Valentines Day." Rangiku didn't have to see Orihime to know she was blushing. "W-Well, I guess you have a point." Orihime gave in. "So you'll come?!" Rangiku asked, getting excited.
"Y-Yeah, I'll come. But you'll have to come get me because I don't know how to get there myself." Orihime said. "Okay, no problem, I'll just talk to Yamamoto and we'll set the date. Now because you yourself are needed, I say you should come over within a day or so. Then we'll have about less than two weeks til Valentines Day, and we'll go get Ichigo, Chad and Uryu the day before Valentines. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Rangiku assured.
"Okay, well, I have homework, so I'll see you soon." Orihime said. "Okay, bye bye." Rangiku said and flipped the phone shut.
"Now let's see... What should I get Toshiro for Valentines?" She asked aloud. Knowing what he liked was nothing, but what he didn't like was a whole other story. And he didn't like mushy cute things...
"Nanao-chan! You're back from your meeting!" Shunsui called with much glee as he leaped for Nanao. Said woman held up her book and he smacked his face into it upon landing. With a pain-filled groan he slid to the floor.
"That was cruel Nanao." He moaned nasily as he held his possibly broken nose. "It was your ignorance that got you hurt, not me." Nanao said and brushed by him to begin work on the paperwork that had grown during her absence.
"So what was today's meeting about?" He asked with wandering curiosity and picked himself off the floor.
"We're going to raise money for our club by selling valentines for Valentines Day." Shunsui released a big grin. "Ah! A day for young lovers, the joy of passion and romance meeting together to celebrate their own holiday. Ah what wondeful times I remember, the academy, and the beautiful girls that were dying to give me their lov-" He was inturrupted by the same book meeting the back of his head.
"Be quiet. You're disturbing me with that racket about love." Nanao said with an annoyed tone and went back to work. Kyouraku picked himself up again.
"Nanao, are you perhaps upset about other women loving me for my awesomeness and my charm?" He asked with a smug grin as he leaned over her desk. "No. I am merely annoyed with your ridiculous rant about a holiday full of cheesy love crap." She said with a sigh.
"Cleary Nanao-chan has never celebrated when she had a man." Nanao blushed but felt a vein pulse on her forehead.
"Love is a beautiful thing Nanao, you must grasp it when opportunity strikes and never let it go. So lets start now. Hold me and never let me gooooo!" He sang and hopped over the desk and towards Nanao's arms. With a flash step, she exited the chair, and not half a second later he crashed into it and the chair fell backwards causing Shunsui to land on his head and tumble forward into the wall.
"How many times do I have to tell you?" Nanao said with a sigh as she walked over to his (partially bruised) body. She knelt down and leaned over him, he stared up at her.
"No intimate actions during work hours." She said with a soft grin before leaning down to place a soft kiss on his lips. Even Nanao broke the rules once in a while...
"Rukia-chan, what're you doing all cooped up in the corner like this?" Kiyone asked. She had been running errands for Ukitake when she came across Rukia sitting in a coner with her knees against her chest.
"Shh. I'm trying to concentrate." Rukia murmured before going back to her activity. Kiyone looked over this with a confused expression. When Rukia let out a gleeful yell and stood up. "I'm finished!" She exclaimed as she waved her sketch book in the air, a pencil in the other.
"Finished with what?" Kiyone asked. "Yachiru liked my artistic skills and asked me to design some valentines for our sales. Here, look." Rukia shoved the book in Kiyone's face and she was forced to look upon Rukia's infamous drawings.
She could see little bears hugging and kissing with hearts everywhere. She could see little bunnies holding hands with many mini bunnies around them. Then there was a ferret or squirrel, she couldn't tell with a big box of chocolates.
"I saw all kinds of cute things in the living realm while I was there. They were all so adorable, and so this will help us in our sales." Rukia said with a smile. Kiyone couldn't decided whether she thought it was cute or abnormal. She decided it was both.
"Umm, it's lovely, go show Nanao-san." She said. Rukia smiled brightly and scampered off to find to the bespectacled woman.
"Cute as it may be, I wonder if it'll sell..." She wondered aloud and then went on to continue her errands.
"Has anyone else noticed the women acting strangely today?" Renji asked. "You mean stranger than usual?" Shuhei asked with a snicker. "Yes, but I mean they're all running around and looking for 'inspiration'. That's what Rukia told me when I ran into her a few minutes ago." Renji said.
"Maybe they're in the middle of another project." Kira suggested. "Another one? It seems that all they ever do is projects." Shuhei exclaimed.
"Well yeah, but I think this one is to raise money for their club. I overheard some of the meeting this morning as I walked by." Kira said. "You mean you eavesdropped again. This is what got us in trouble with them at the onsen, remember?" All three shook at the memory of running through the onsen in nothing but their underwear.
"Well, it wasn't intentional, I dropped a report and had to get close to the door to get it and overheard some things." The three stopped walking when the came across a poster on the wall. red hearts bordering the poster with pink hearts decorating the background and the words in big dark black lettering in the center.
"Attention all shinigami and lovers!
Saturday, February 14 is the heavenly holiday Valentines Day; A day for lovers to celebrate their love and passion.
To celebrate, the SWA will be holding official valentine sales this Sunday February 8 through February 13. Pick up something special for your lover and share it with them, and not just lovers, someone you admire or someone you like. Confess with these wonderful gifts we have. The sales will be held in the SWA meeting hall in the mornings and in the afternoons. Pick 'em up before they're gone!
Remember, there's someone for everyone."
"So that's what they're doing, hosting sales for a holiday." Renji noted. "Well, it seems like a good idea, after all, a lot of people have been getting together lately. Except Shuhei." Kira said, trying so hard to hold in his snickers.
"Hey! For your information there is someone I like!" Shuhei exclaimed.
"Sorry dude, but Rangiku is already taken." Renji said with a laugh, Shuhei scowled. "No, I'm over that, I found her 3rd seat to be very intimidating." He said. "Riiiiiight. Then you go for it." Renji said, not believing Shuhei had gotten over Rangiku.
"While we're on the subject of love, what're we going to get our girlfriends for Valentines Day? It seems we can't just give them something simple, we'll have to find something unique to give them." Kira said and Shuhei and Renji paused and thought.
"Well, we could always give them the usual flowers and chocolates and give them something later at night." Renji offered and wiggled his tattooed eyebrows.
Shuhei elbowed him. "Okay, nevermind that." Renji said and rubbed his arm. "Let's just see how things turn out and wait for the right moment to decide what to give them. We still have time." Kira said. "Yeah, besides, I want to see what they come up with. I wonder what crazy ideas they came up with to sell." Shuhei said and they laughed before walking away from the poster on the wall.
Soi Fon walked through the streets of Seireitei, carrying a box with her latest training gear. Hopefully this gear will last longer then her last set.
Turning the corner she was surprised to collide with someone and falling backwards onto her bottom and her box falling out of her hands and spilling onto the floor. "Ow! Dammit to hell!" She cursed. Silently, she prayed no one saw her fall, it would be humiliating to have people know she had fallen when not in battle. Like a clumsy fool. Speaking of clumsy fools...
"Watch where your going! I should report you!" She exclaimed and scowled as she opened her eyes to see whom she had collided with. "Oh my, I do apologize Soi Fon." it was none other than Ukitake.
"Oh, it's just you. Don't worry about it." She said sternly and moved to stand on her knees and began gathering her stuff back into the box. "Oh! Let me help you, it's my fault it fell." He insisted and began picking up her stuff for her.
Curiosity crossed his calm expression when he picked up a... feminine... object. Soi Fon's eyes widened and her cheeks flamed as she yanked the item from his hand. "It's for when your fighting on that time of the month!" She exclaimed and stuffed it deep into the box, burying it.
Ukitake chuckled. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed." He said. With her cheeks still aflame, Soi Fon picked up her box and stood up, Ukitake standing as well.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you fell. It'll be our little secret." He said with a wink. Soi Fon scoffed, though her cheeks still red, and brushed past him and began walking at an unusually fast pace back to her division.
Strange... She thought as she turned the corner. That was the first time my heart skipped a beat for any man... She blew away the thought and headed back to her office. Love was a useless emotion for a captain...
