And a new fic is born! Recently finished watching Bleach and now writing fics about it. I don't know how many Bleach fics I wrote already so let's start!
This is random arcs where main characters are no other than Shinigami Women's Association!
THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS HAPPY ENDINGS
"Growl, Haineko."
Is there really such things as happy endings?
"Welcome to Shinigami Women's Association fanfic series!" Yachiru greeted. "Hello viewers! My name is Yachiru Kusajishi and I am the president of this elite organization of women! Or you guys probably already knew that!" she then stretches her arm to the left of the screen and grabs another female Shinigami to enter the screen. "And this is my Vice President, Nanao Ise!"
"Y- You don't have to pull me like this." muttered Nanao.
Yachiru then pushes her aside and grabs another Shinigami from out of the screen. "This is Nemu Kurotsuchi, sometimes I force her as Vice President!"
"Greetings." Nemu says and bows politely. Yachiru, like she did Nanao, threw Nemu off-screen as well.
"Well let's not introduce the other members since you'll meet them soon anyways!" Yachiru grinned at the viewers but then she can feel a dark, scary aura from behind her.
"What about the Supervising Chairwoman, Yachiru?" asked the woman behind her. She looked smiling friendly but deep inside that smile is a cruel one. Yachiru knew that like everyone else does.
"Oh r- right. This is Unohana Retsu, as she said, she's the Supervising Chairwoman!" Yachiru says, stepping aside of the screen to give Unohana more space. "Anyway, today we'll be showing whether or not Rangiku Matsumoto, a member of the SWA, will get a happy ending!"
"W- Wait it's about me today? OH! I'm in the first episode!" Rangiku's voice was heard from out of the screen. Yachiru can see her running towards the set so she had to hurry and say goodbye. "Let me talk to our viewers!"
"Unfortunately, time's up. Let's say goodbye now! Bye!"
"Waaaaaaaaait!"

Rangiku Matsumoto, lieutenant of the 10th division, Toshirou Hitsugaya's Vice Captain. She is Gin Ichimaru's childhood friend and she has feelings for the guy. But with Gin's betrayal, was there even a way for her and Gin to be together again?
(This is AU. So Aizen's gang still betrayed Soul Society, but instead of being killed, they are punished separately. Gin Ichimaru is sent to the World of the Living without any Shinigami powers and is stuck in his gigai until his sentence was up.)
"Rangiku-san!" Yachiru flashstepped beside Rangiku who was looking gloomy while doing paperwork.
"Yachiru?"
"Did you hear the news? You've been assigned to assist the Substitute Shinigami at Karakura Town!" Yachiru announced gleefully as she waved a piece of paper at Rangiku. The orange-haired woman took the paper from her hand to read its contents. "Isn't it great?"
"This is where Gin is." Rangiku mumbles but Yachiru heard it loud and clear.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go!"
"But I have-"
"Hitsugaya-taichou already knows of this."
"Thank you, Yachiru!"
Excitedly, she left the desk and ran to pack her things. Yachiru happily watched the orange-haired Shinigami do that and hummed as she left the room, bumping into Byakuya on her way out. "Oh, Kuchiki-taichou! What brings you here in the 10th Division?"
"What brings you here, Vice captain Kusajishi." was Byakuya's only reply as he passed by her.
'I'll find him a partner next.' Yachiru thought.
Arriving in Karakura Town, Ichigo was fighting off Hollows with Renji.
"What's wrong with these Hollows? Why do they keep showing up more recently than before?" Ichigo wondered as he slashed into half the Hollow before him. It was his fifth kill.
"Don't ask me. I'm confused as well." Renji said as he slashed a hollow twice before it disintegrated. "But let's finish this job and ask Kisuke later."
"Alright."
Before they can finish the battle, they were surprised to see the Senkaimon open and there a Shinigami with orange hair jumps out, unsheahing her zanpakuto before saying her release command. "Growl, Haineko!" she says. "Neku Rinbu!"
With that, a cloud of ash enveloped the Hollows, forming a tornado that swallowed the Hollows until there were no Hollows left to be seen. She returns her zanpakuto back to its scabbard once all Hollows were eliminated, landing on the highest building nearby.
"Rangiku? What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked.
"And stop showing off!" Renji added.
"I was assigned here to help you, Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Oi what's with the serious and mature vibe she's emitting?" Ichigo asked Renji with a whisper with a lenny face.
"I don't know, is she really Rangiku?" Renji asked him back, also with a lenny face. But even if the two were whispering, Rangiku could hear them loud and clear. A tick appearing on her forehead.
"What are you two whispering about?! I'm the one and only Rangiku! No clone or mod soul or gigai can copy this body!" she boasts about her physical appearance. But the two boys just refrained chuckles and snickered with their hands covering their mouths.
"This is a waste of time, let's go Ichigo." Renji says and returns his sword back to its scabbard as well.
"Hey you two!" Rangiku calls them but they ignored her and went away.
"Bye Rangiku!" they said and left.
"Seriously, those two. Where am I supposed to stay?" not even a second later. "Ah! Inoue-san!"
But she wasn't even able to enter Inoue's house. She was outside, by the door.
"I- I'm sorry Rangiku-san. But currently Tatsuki and my other classmates are here for a sleepover." Inoue tells Rangiku very apologetically. "I would really, really, really love to let you stay but this is kind of awkward."
"I understand. But how long will this sleepover last?" she asked the young student.
"Ah well, I'm not sure yet. They wanted to stay here for three nights but some are voting to do this for a week. I'm really sorry again Rangiku-san."
"No worries Inoue-san! I can wait for a week! Until then, I will find a place to stay somewhere else!" Rangiku exclaims. But it was a lot harder to do that than she thought.
"C- Come on Ichigo! I wouldn't be a bother I promise! Just for a week until Inoue-san's friends leave!" Rangiku pleads to him. But he wouldn't even let her step in the porch of his home.
"No way! Rukia is already staying here and there's no space for you!"
"I can sleep on the floor!"
"What would my family think?! I already have Rukia in my room then I'm gonna go ahead and invite-" he wasn't sure how to describe this but looking at Rangiku's chest, it's not gonna sound good to his family, "-someone like you, then that's a scandal!"
"But-!"
"Sorry, go find a place somewhere else!"
Not as easy as she thought it'd be.
"But Urahara-san! I promise that it'll be just a week!" Rangiku begged this time. But Renji wasn't allowing this and spoke in Urahara's behalf.
"No way! I'm already staying here and it'll be too crowded to have you around!" Renji says.
"Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be sent back to Soul Society by now?" Rangiku tried to keep up the debate longer.
"What? Just because you're here doesn't mean they'll take me back!" Renji yelled at her. "Plus if they pull Rukia out, they'd pull me out as well. So as long as Rukia is here, so will I!"
Urahara smiled apologetically at her from behind Renji.
"Sorry Rangiku-san. But maybe when this hot-headed Shinigami is gone, you can stay here. Although no offense, I'd prefer him around than a lazy one."
Sighing in disbelief, Rangiku ended up lying down the sand in the playground with the clouds forming in the sky. Looks like it was about to rain.
Is this... for real?
No one wants to accept me into their homes... maybe if Hitsugaya-taichou is here, he wouldn't let me stay with him either. i'm lazy and beautiful but no one wants me. Aaaah! Is this what it means to be beautiful? I have to be pushed aside?!
As the rain began to pour, she stayed to where she lay, the droplets landing in her face but she didn't mind. She's soaked already anyways. She closed her eyes, ready to sleep under the rain. Until it stopped.
The rain stopped? But I still hear it...
When she opened her eyes, she can see an umbrella over her and a man holding that umbrella. His narrow eyes looking at her with a sharp smile. "What brings you here, Rangiku?" he asked.
"Gin."
Could it be fate that they met again? Nah. It was really odd that she was being assigned to Karakura Town in the first place. Especially that there's already Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki assisting the Substitute Shinigami. Why was she even sent there? Not like she was needed.
She was now inside Gin's small house, sitting in his living room with a small wooden table in front of her. Gin offered her a cup of tea. And there's been nothing but silence between them the whole time. She observed the small house, seeing how gloomy and dead-looking it was.
"It's not as spacious as your office in Soul Society, I know." Gin says, deciding to break the silence. "I don't have much stuff either. Let alone a couch you can lie on."
"I- It's not that!" Rangiku tried to tell him that she wasn't complaining about that. Then by accident, she glanced at the wristband in his wrist. It's what's keeping him imprisoned in his gigai form.
"Hmm?" Gin noticed she was staring at that little device.
"How have you been, Gin?" Rangiku changed the topic. Her eyes still locked on that wristband.
"Doing far better than before. My time with Aizen wasn't as fun as today." he says, jokingly.
"Why did you do it? Why did you side with me after all those times?" she asked. She didn't know but in the end, he betrayed Aizen. Why? She had theories why but she wanted to hear it from him.
Gin dodged out of it though. "Want more tea? Or would you prefer wine?"
Rangiku took his respond as a message saying he doesn't want to talk about it. So she decided not to talk about it. "Wine would be nice." she replies with a smile.
The following day while doing her sounds on Karakura Town, she was surprised to find Yachiru picking her up.
"EH?! Just for a DAY?!" Rangiku exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah. Didn't you read the letter yesterday?" Yachiru reminded her. Rangiku's memories flashed back a bit, trying to remember the contents of the letter. Come to think of it, there WAS an 'only one day' part there but I didn't notice it.
"I- I see..." she says, sounding like she's been exhausted already.
"Don't be sad Rangiku-san! You'll get more opportunities to be with him soon! I could only ask for one day because Renji and Rukia are already here!" Yachiru explained.
"I thought so." Rangiku mumbled. She knew it.
"Well then, let's head back!"
"W- Wait! I haven't been able to say-"
And Yachiru pulled her into the Senkaimon and they were back in Soul Society. She didn't have to say goodbye. Gin was watching them anyway, with a smile on his face. "I'll see you soon, Rangiku." he says right after they disappeared.

"And that concludes Rangiku's happy ending!" Yachiru tells the viewers. "See you next episode!"
"W- Wait a minute! I didn't get a happy ending! I barely had time to spend with him!" Rangiku yelled from outside the screen. "Give me more screen time!" she demanded but the guards were holding her down, preventing her from appearing on screen.
"Sadly you've been very abusive about your screen time. So you won't have any for days!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
"See you guys next time!" Yachiru bid goodbye to the viewers.
