This is my debut fanfiction, so don't blame me if my writing skills suck. Be warned, I may or may not update every once in a while, but I will definitely finish this story before starting a new one. If anyone has good suggestions, feel free to leave me a note. If you want to criticize my story, then don't review. It's your problem, not mine.
Chapter 1:
Hitsugaya's POV:
Dang it! Why did ! #$%^& Unohana-taichou have to put a love spell on me!? ME of all people to experiment on! Her own captain commander! Why couldn't it have been some other taichou for her to experiment on!
After all, there are tons of people to practice Kido spells on! No one sane enough would be good enough for me to love them. I wish I could just expel Unohana out of Seireitei but, well, she's Unohana-taichou. I, captain commander of the Gotei 13, will NEVER fall in love with ANYONE. No one is worthy of my love. In fact, I have covered my heart with layers of ice so thick that not even the sharpest zanpakuto can ever cut through it.
"Taaaaaiiiiiiccccchhhhhooooou uuuu! " A loud, familiar voice came my way. Oh boy. It's Matsumoto. Why is everything so against me today? I tried to put on a straight face.
"Yes?" I replied coldly.
"Hey! What's up with the long face! I just wanted you to be Gin's best man for my wedding to him! He's so busy and asked me to ask you."
Oh, right. Matsumoto, my so-called best friend, is marrying Gin Ichimaru, the 3rd Squad captain. I don't know how she became one of my friends, but she's one of the only people I could trust. And that was because over a long period of time, she slowly earned it. She knew that Unohana-taichou had put a 'fun spell' on me and has been VERY cautious about being around me, like I care.
"Sure." I replied, monotonously.
"Y'know, you should really get a girlfriend to melt that heart of ice of yours. Oh! I know, Rukia-chan would be a good match for you! She, after all, is about the same height as you! Have you met her yet? She is truly ADORABLE!"
"Damn you Matsumoto, how dare you make fun of your superior! I could have your head chopped off this moment you know. And I am not interested in whatever girls you match me up with." I snapped.
"Even if I told you she was really pretty?"
"That'd be Kyoraku-taichou. Not me." This was getting nowhere.
"Even if I told you she is the tenth squad captain? You should at least know your ordinates, y'know. She, after all, preceded you. I heard that her zanpakuto is the most beautiful out of all the ice and snow types in all of Seireitei." She insisted. I swear, this woman never gives up...*sigh*
"No. Does it matter that she's the person who preceded me?" I mumbled under my breath.
"Yes! She's FAMOUS for having that status. Not to mention, she is really pretty and she is also the sister of Kuchiki-taichou!" Matsumoto yelled in my ear. Okay, I have to admit sometimes Matsumoto CAN get scary despite her 'girly-girl' character.
"NO. And that's FINAL. This conversation is over."
"OK." Finally she shut up. Maybe I could have some piece and quiet now. I was getting even more irritated by every second. Wait a minute, if I reminded her of Unohana's spell, maybe I won't need to meet her annoying friend.
"Unohana-taichou put a ridiculous spell on me that would make me fall in Love with the first single person I see. You think it's safe to go see her?"
Silence.
"Of course! That's the whole point! Duh! I was trying to match you up with her! Remind me to thank Unohana-taichou later!" She exclaimed. No wonder she sleeps so much. That is where she gets her long-lasting energy from. "Come on taichou! My wedding's in two days! And there are still lots to be done!" Without even caring to hear my reply, she dragged me to wherever direction she intended to go to.
Great.
Rukia's POV:
"Hey Rukia-chan!" My best friend Momo Hinamori called. I turned around, seeing her waving at me.
"Yeah?" I said, snapping out of my thoughts on Rangiku-san's wedding.
"I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come pick flowers with me for Rangiku-san's and Ichimaru-taichou's wedding! I have permission for Rangiku-san. She said that any colour is fine.
"Eh? ... I guess..." I replied, hesitantly.
"Yes!"
"Fine, but can you stop being all jumpy? Let's go." I flash stepped to the flower boutique that Momo had pointed out. Suddenly, my phone rang. (Yes, there are phones in the Seireitei, for those who are clueless) I looked at the flasking 'Renji' and groaned. Renji suddenly became really protective of me lately for some reason. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Weird.
"Hello?" I said.
"Oi, Rukia! You're coming to Rangiku's wedding right? Please!?" Sounds like Renji's REALLY desperate. And stupid.
"Of course I am Rangiku-san won't survive without me. I'm the maid of honor!And who do you think I am? I'm her friend, so of course I'm going!"
"Oh."
"One of my good friends is getting MARRIED. By the way, why were you asking me this?" I realized I had suddenly gone off topic. After all, it was he who called me.
"Well, take is easy Rukes, just wanted to know is you were coming or not. Hehe..." I could just imagine his sweat drop in the background. He experienced first-hand what I could do when I lose my temper.
"Couldn't you just ask Rangiku-san?" Trying to maintain my calm voice.
"Uh, she wouldn't let me see her, says that I'll spoil Ichimaru's surprise."
"You're not even the groom. Is that all you needed to know? I'm kinda busy right now..." This conversation was taking a lot of time... I still have to get back to Hinamori."
"Yeah. Right. Thanks midget."
"No problem. Hey! DON'T CALL ME MIDG-" Beep. Wow. He hung up on me. The next time I meet Renji, I'm gonna kick is sorry ass straight to Mars without even saying hello.
"Are you done chatting now? I think I'm seeing rainbows in the sky now..." Hinamori complained. "Help me arrange these flowers!" I rushed over to help and my jaws dropped. Hinamori stood in the middle of the boutique surrounded by countless numbers of bouquets and vases, and she needs MORE!?
"Hinamori, I think you should take it easy on the flowers. You don't need this much for just a wedding. Ukitake-taichou is going to sneeze so much since he's allergic to pollen." I suggested.
"Maybe you're right. I should probably ask Rangiku-san if she likes them." she said, not really to me but more to herself.
"Okay, we're done for today. Let's go already!" I exclaimed and dragged her out of the shop after putting the poor flowers on hold.
