My first IshidaXNemu! I hope you guys like it. If you've read my Ishihime you know that I'm rather... erratic with updates, but I'll do my best -.-; I think that Ishida deserves to get whatever girl he wants, but I do have fun playing with which one that might be. Please R&R and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, or any characters. Honestly.

A man in heavy face-paint sat hunched over a desk, chuckling to himself as he added the finishing touches to a page full of calculations.

"NEMU!" Yelled Mayuri.

A girl with a long black braid came down the stairs, hands folded in front of her. "Yes?"
"What took you so long you worthless child? I have perfected my latest experiment, and I need you to help me test it."

Nemu nodded. "Of course. How may I help?"

"This potion makes the drinker see other people as the person he or she loves."

"And you want me to…"

"Idiot! Isn't it obvious? To use this to cause mayhem at the party that Ichigo is having!"

Nemu nodded mutely. So he had sunk to pranks? He needed something to experiment on... Oh well, it wasn't her place to tell him.

"You are invited, aren't you?" Mayuri asked, flinging ingredients into a beaker.

"Yes, Ishi- um, the Shinigami invited me. "

"Good. Now then, take this…"

Nemu walked toward the house, vial clutched in her hand. Ishida-san was going to be there. She had always admired him, ever since she had saved his life. He had asked Kurasaki if she could come. It was probably only to pay her back for the antidote. But still, she had a small smile on her face as she rang the doorbell.

Ichigo opened the door. "Hey… Nemu, right? Come on in, the party's just about to start."

Nemu walked through the door. Ishida, Inoue, and Kuchikki were already there she noticed, along with some humans from Ichigo's school she didn't know. Spotting the punch bowl, she opened the vial and poured the contents in. Mission accomplished.

Orihime walked up, and saw the punch. "Hey, what's this doing out? It's supposed to be in the fridge until the party's halfway done and everyone's thirsty!" Picking up the huge bowl, she stumbled to the kitchen and placed it in the fridge.

"Hey Nemu." Nemu spun, and saw Ishida pushing up his glasses behind her.

"Hello Ishida-san. How are you?"

"Good, and you?" Ishida picked up a cup, and looked around. "Orihime must have moved the punch… oh well."

"I'm fine."

"Has… that scientist been treating you well?"

"As well as can be expected." She wondered who Ishida-san would see after he drank. Probably Inoue… her eyes narrowed at that thought. She supposed she would find out when the time came.
