Hiya. I am honored to introduce to you, the first story of a new series of fanfics called: The SWA Series. The SWA is the Shinigami Women's Association. Now, the series is a group of stories based on the SWA's actions and adventures, and the outcome of those actions and adventures. Not a real series, just one I invented.

This is the very first story of the series. In these series, there shall be multiple pairings. If you don't like them, don't bother. I won't name them. Yet.

So without further ado, I now present to you the first chapter of a series of hilarious events. Hope you enjoy.

Onsen Trip

Chapter 1

Let The Fun Begin

It was sunset. The illuminating colors shined their last moments before disappearing behind the hills. It was truly a sight.

The sky glowed a bluish-purple, as it turned into night. The time had finally come. It was relaxation time.

"Renji! Hurry up will you?!" Ichigo shouted as he walked through the streets of Seireitei. Renji had promptly fallen behind. "Shut up! I'm not in that big of a hurry, we got all night!" Renji barked as he jogged to catch up.

"Not if Rukia finds you, and then asks why you snuck off." The mention of Rukia sent a small shiver up Renji's spine.

"I doubt she'll know I'm gone, she was acting really cheerful when I last saw her in the 13th Division." Renji said. "How so?" Ichigo asked.

"I mean, she was whistling and had a big grin on her face while she was filing through her books." Renji explained. "Hmm, must have plans for the evening." Now that they thought about it, almost all the women they knew were acting the same way.

"I wonder why." Renji said aloud. "I ran into Ikkaku earlier, he said Yachiru was acting more hyper than usual." Ichigo said.

"I went to 4th Division to check on a friend, and Unohana and Isane were acting the same way too. Smiling and ecstatic about something." Renji noted.

"Ahh, who cares, at least we have our own event to look forward to." Ichigo waved it off. "True that!" Renji said and playfully punched Ichigo's shoulder.

They walked to the northern gate. Where a couple other guys were waiting.

"Hey Ichigo! Renji! Would you move it? We ain't got all night!" Ikkaku shouted as he sat, leaning against the wall. "Oh shut it! Not everyone's here." Renji growled.

"He has a point Ikkaku. Yumichika said as he stood, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed by Ikkaku.

"Ah who cares? I guess I'm a little excited is all. I mean this is the first day off in months. It'll be nice to finally relax a little." Ikkaku grumbled.

"So where's Hitsugaya and Kenpachi? They're the only ones I don't see." Renji asked.

"Zaraki-taicho said he'd be late, and Hitsugaya is turning in his paperwork. They'll both be here shortly." Kyouraku said. Even he was coming.

"So I take it Ukitake won't be joining us?" Yumichika asked. "No, he had another attack and stayed in bed. I said it would be healthy for him to come, but he said it was best for him to stay in bed." Kyouraku explained as he lounged on the ground.

"Gentlemen." Hitsugaya greeted as he flashed by Ichigo and by Kyouraku. "Yamamoto sends his hopes that this trip goes well." He said as he mirrored Yumichika's stance on the wall.

"Toshiro! Glad you decided to come after all! You were such a grouch about coming earlier." Ichigo said. "That's Hitsugaya-taicho!" He hissed. Once more, Ichigo waved it off.

"So, where's Rangiku-san? How'd you shake her off?" Hisagi asked. "I didn't, she was already gone when I left." He answered.

"Gone off drinking alone? How sad." Kyouraku said sadly.

"No, she was at work, and did one or two sheets of paperwork. Then she started giggling about something. I didn't pay much attention. But then a hell butterfly from Ise-fukutaicho came and spoke to her out in the hall." He explained.

"So that's what happened after she left today." Kyouraku concluded.

"The women are acting strange. Well, stranger than usual." Kira said. "Ah who cares? Let them be secretive, as long as we get our day off I don't care what they do." Ikkaku said.

"Good point, I'm sure they're planning something nice for their day off. I mean, look at us, we planned to go somewhere too." Yumichika said.

"Are you guys gonna stand there all evening, or are we gonna go?" They heard and Kenpachi strolled up with the rest of them.

"Taicho! Glad you came." Ikkaku said as he leaned away from the wall.

"Yeah yeah. Let's go. Before Yachiru finishes her candy." They took that as their cue and quickly requested for the gate to open.

Once it was open high enough they flashed through and into Rukongai.

"Ah! I can't believe it's finally here!" Rukia exclaimed as she and some girls walked through the streets of Seireitei. Little did they know that Ichigo and Renji had been there just minutes ago.

"I know, I've been waiting for this trip for weeks!" Rangiku squealed. "I always did want to visit a hot springs. But I never did wonder what one in Soul Society would be like." Orihime wondered.

"It's wonderful! It's a lot better than the ones in the world of the living. They have these salts that make your skin feel like silk! And there's this kido spell that stops guys from peeping or sneaking. Which is no fun when you want them to." Rangiku said with a wink.

Rukia and Orihime both blushed.

"Anyway, Nanao told us to meet at the southern gate. She and everyone else should be there." Rukia said.

"Did you notice anything weird going on with Ichigo or anyone earlier?" Orihime asked. "No, Taicho was normal like always." Rangiku said.

"I didn't notice much either, I was too excited for this trip." Rukia said.

"Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing then." Orihime said. "Matsumoto-san! Kuchiki-san! Inoue-san!" They heard and looked back to see Hinamori Momo running for them. "Hey! I'm glad I caught up with you!" She said and stopped to pant, having run all the way there.

"Momo-chan, glad you decided to come." Rangiku said. "I think it would be good for me to go." She said as she straightened up.

"Then let's go, everyone's waiting." Rukia said. They continued their walk. A few minutes later they arrived at the southern gate.

"Hiya everyone! Is everybody here?!" Yachiru asked gleefully. "Good!" She said with only one glance at the group.

"Now, the gate will open in about two minutes. So let's see who made it." Nanao said and looked through the group.

"I see a couple of you brought guests." She noted as she spotted a couple new women.

"I couldn't go without taking Orihime-chan!" Rangiku laughed. "And Yoruichi-sama needed to come and escape that pervy shopkeeper. Her friend Kukaku-sama needed to come too." Soi Fon said with red on her cheeks.

"Well that's fine. They are allowed to become members if they wish, we could always use more." Nanao said. Then went back to scanning the group.

"They're all here captain." Nanao said. "Great!" Yachiru squealed. "Now, we're gathered to go to the legendary onsen in Rukongai! It's the most popular, classy, and most relaxing onsen in the world!" Yachiru announced.

"The onsen is usually expensive, mostly for wealthy people. But tonight they're giving a discount for shinigami. So Yamamoto proposed we go spoil ourselves." Nanao explained.

"Yay!" The women cheered. "Okay, the gates opening. Let's go!" Yachiru said. Then the gate lifted up a few yards and the women all flashed through.

The night was calm and pretty nice seeing as it was mid-summer. The crescent moon shined over the onsen, sparkling the water. The onsen was bigger than the guys ever imagined. No wonder it was the most popular. The guys checked into their reservation and settled into the rooms that would be theirs for the night.

The rooms were divided, with only three people in each room. Hitsugaya cursed under his breath with he realized he got stuck with Ichigo and Renji. Ikkaku, Yumichika and Kenpachi shared a room. Kyouraku, Kira, and Hisagi shared a room. The first thing they did was settle in and go into the hot springs.

"According to the onsen's pamphlets, the water is filled with pure emerald salt. Which is rare in Soul Society." Kira said as he sat in the water. The rest of them sat in too, although Hitsugaya was more hesitant about it.

"Emerald salt? As in, emeralds that were grinded into dust?" Hisagi asked. "I guess so. Emeralds are a gem of healing in Soul Society, in the world of the living they're just for show." Kira said. "How would you know?" Ichigo asked.

"Rangiku-san told me." Kira said. The conversation moved to something else then. "Speaking of Rangiku-chan. Hitsugaya, what's it like to have her as a fukutaicho?" Kyouraku asked.

Everyone stared at the young boy, and waited for his answer. He was annoyed by both the question and the staring.

"She's not that bad, but she never works, she's always drinking and napping, and she's always annoying me even when I'm trying to work." The others just laughed.

"That's Rangiku-chan for you!" Kyouraku laughed. "I wish she could be my fukutaicho for a day. But then I'd have to replace my precious Nanao." He added.

Hitsugaya scowled and ignored the fantasies that Kyouraku was murmuring. "Still, I think your pretty lucky to have a fukutaicho like her I mean that rack is the biggest I've ever seen!" Ikkaku said. "I think her beauty is yet to be desired." Yumichika said.

For some reason, Hitsugaya felt uncomfortable talking about his fukutaicho like this. Even though he hears whispers from people every day about him and her.

Suddenly they all heard giggles from over the giant rock that divided the mens' side from the womens'. "Tch, noisy women are here. So much for a peaceful bath." Kenpachi grunted.

"Hey, get in! The waters great!" They heard a familiar bubbly voice shout. "Okay!" They heard a few more women squeal and then the splashing was heard next as a bunch of women jumped into the hot spring.

"Didn't that sound familiar to you guys?" Renji asked. "I pray to god it isn't what I think it is." Ikkaku said. They all listened to the giggles that came from beyond the rock.

"Hey! Taicho! Hurry the waters perfect!" They heard and they froze. "'Taicho'?" Yumichika questioned.

"Maybe it's some other kind of Taicho, not court guard taicho." Kira reasoned. Everyone remained silent.

"Oh my gosh the water's better than I expected!" That voice could be recognized even in a giant crowd of people. "Rangiku-san?" Hisagi mumbled.

"Crap!" They all murmured. They knew who was over the wall now.

"Hey! Yoruichi! Remember those games we played whenever we went to an onsen?" That voice was unfamiliar. "Y-Yoruichi-san?!" Ichigo shuddered.

"Oh yeah! You mean 'Yank the Towel'?" "That's the one!" The other voice said. Then they heard a bunch of shrieks and giggles that caused a couple of them to cover their ears. Almost all of them had red splash on their faces, and it wasn't from the water temperature.

"Ah! Hey my towel!" "Give it back!" They were doing more giggling than really being angry. It shouldn't surprise them.

"Geez Orihime! You, Rangiku, Isane, Yoruichi and Kukaku got the biggest boobies I've ever seen!" All their faces got bright red, even Kenpachi's. Only Yachiru would shout that.

"Um, please give me my towel back Yoruichi-san." The soft voice whimpered. "I think the towels are pointless, I mean we're all women, it doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you." Only Rangiku would point that out.

"Still! It's embarrassing to compare bust size!" They heard. "Hinamori?" Kira mumbled.

"Fine, you can have your towel back." They heard Yoruichi grumble. "I can't believe of all the onsens in Soul Society, they had to pick the same one we came to." Yumichika muttered.

They all thought of I for a second and then something clicked. "Yamamoto!" They all concluded at the same time.

He was the one who suggested the trip. He must've suggested it to the SWA too.

They were all going to get him for this later.

"Great, now we're stuck here with all those giggling women!" Ikkaku groaned. "Shh, we can't hear." He looked over and Renji, Hisagi, Kyouraku, and Kira were against the rock and listening to the women giggle.

"Yoruichi-sama, I never knew you had a tan line." Soi Fon said. "Huh? Oh. Yeah, I trained with Kisuke in the sun a lot." She answered casually. Unaware that the woman was staring at her.

"Wait! Just what kind of outfit did you train in?!" Soi Fon shrieked. "It was hot all summer, so I had to fit into something more comfortable, a bathing suit with a loose skirt was the most comfortable." Yoruichi explained.

"It has been rather hot lately, I'm surprised it's so nice tonight." Okay now they were just carrying on conversation that didn't interest them.

"Hey Rukia. Can I ask you something?" They heard. "Sure, what is it?" Of course Rukia was there. "When you talk to Renji, does he ever mention Kira?" Said man's ears perked up. Momo was asking about him.

"He has once or twice, said that Kira was going drinking or something like that." "Oh, I see." "What's the matter? You like Izuru Momo-chan?" Rangiku asked.

"Ah! I never said that. I mean, he's nice. I like him but I don't know how much. If that makes any sense." She said softly. "Aw! Momo's in love!" Kira's face went red as he listened. Hisagi punched his shoulder.

"Dude, you need to make a move and fast." He whispered. He was aware that Hitsugaya was listening too.

"While we're on the subject of love, who do you like Rukia?" They heard. "Oh I don't know. I mean almost all the men we know are stupid, but I think I might like Renji." Said man also went red.

"I mean, he's dumb, stupid, irresponsible, thick-headed, dense, and a complete moron." He shrank deeper into the water with every insult.

"But then again, he's also kind, considerate, protective for sure, funny, and really great. So I think I'll definitely say Renji." She concluded. He had to turn away from everyone to hide the red on his race, it matched his hair. How could she openly say that?

"How about you Orihime?" Rukia asked. They heard a surprised squeak from the girl.

"Uh..." She uttered. They didn't need to see to know her face was bright red.

"Ooh! I know!" Rangiku's voice cheered. "Who then? Is it someone we know?" They heard Isane ask. "Oh yeah, it is. It's so obvious I'm surprised the guy himself doesn't know." Rangiku said slyly.

Renji turned to Ichigo, who just shrugged. He didn't know.

"Rangiku-san, I don't think I'm comfortable with this." Orihime said. "Nonsense! We're all doing it! Go on! Say it or I will." Rangiku said with a hint of a warning in her voice, she was serious.

"C'mon Orihime, tell us who you like. We won't tell anyone." Rukia encouraged.

"Um, okay. I like..." The guys on the wall leaned into the rock further. They heard her murmur a name but could make it out, she said it too low.

A bunch of giggles and shrieks were heard.

"You like him?!" Isane giggled. "I mean he's cute and all but that attitude!" Kiyone squealed. "I knew it!" They heard Yoruichi shout. "I told you it was obvious!" Rangiku laughed.

"You were right Rangiku-san, I can't believe Ichigo hasn't realized it yet!" They heard Rukia laugh. Ichigo froze. "Ichigo's a nice boy. A very good choice." Unohana said softly.

Me?! She likes me?! And it was obvious?! I never noticed anything, she was always just normal Inoue! He shouted in his mind. And yet here you are listening to those hotties talk about you. I knew there was something funny about that chick... His inner hollow mused.

Even you knew she had a crush on me?! Aw man! I'm an idiot! Ichigo cursed and swore all through his mind, his hollow laughing at his stupidity.

"Ichigo?" Renji asked. Ichigo snapped out of his thoughts. "You act as if you didn't know she liked you." He noted Ichigo's red face, and Renji raised a brow.

"I didn't!" Ichigo hissed. Renji broke out into quiet laughter. "You idiot! It was so obvious even I noticed it!" Renji said through his laughter. Ichigo shoved Renji's head under the water.

"I didn't know okay you stupid moron! I don't notice these things!" Ichigo growled as Renji's arms and legs flailed around, trying to resurfaced his head.

"Hey! Shut up you two! They're moving on!" Hisagi whispered. Ichigo let go of Renji's head.

"Okay, so Rangiku. Who do you like?" Orihime asked. They heard the busty woman let out a thoughtful mumble.

"Well, let's see. I mean there's Hisagi and Kira, Kyouraku. But they're just my drinking buddies and close friends. Let's see..." She pondered over her choice for a little while.

"Hmm, I don't think I have a particular guy I like. I mean I have many guy friends. But if I had to choose one, I guess I would probably choose Hitusgaya-taicho." She cheered and said boy snapped his eyes wide open and gasped under the water. He had his body sunken in the water up to his nose.

He sat up a little and coughed some of the water out. She'd choose what?! He thought. His face got red again.

"Why Hitsugaya-taicho?" Nanao asked. She knew Rangiku liked her captain, but like that?

"Well, taicho has a certain charm about him that's really admirable. I mean, he's strong, he's kind even though he hides it, he isn't perverted. He's protective of people, and very brave and selfless, and he's so forgiving even when I repeatedly ditch work." He just sat there with his arms crossed, face red, eyes closed and listened more closely than before.

"He's very admirable. He may be young and inexperienced, but I think he would be the best person for me to harbor those feelings for." She explained. Hitsugaya sank back into the water.

"So Nanao, how about you?" Rangiku asked. Kyouraku's ears perked up.

"I like no one in particular either. My taicho is always flirting but I am immune to his antics. I find it pointless." Kyouraku pouted at this.

"Then again he does have his moments and I must admit they are most admirable too. I suppose if he were to ask without the mention of drinking, I might consider going out with him."

Kyouraku couldn't believe his ears! Did the steam from the water make her go insane?! Still, he could hold the 'Yes!!' that escaped his lips.

"Okay. Unohana-taicho. How about you, do you like anyone?" Nanao asked.

"I see lots of handsome men every day, but most of them are either too rough or too perverted. Although there is just one I find most honorable." She said softly.

"And? Who is it?" Isane pushed, even she wanted to know who her taicho liked.

"It may seem strange but I like Zaraki Kenpachi." There were a lot of shrieks and they made out three laughs. Yoruichi's, Kukaku's and Rangiku's.

"You like Zaraki-taicho?! That's little weird." Isane said.

The man didn't acknowledge it like the rest of the guys who got called out. He simply sat there with his arms crossed, and inside his mind he was screaming 'hell yeah!!'.

"Well, he's funny and I see him most often then I do his men. We've even gotten to where we have tea every now and then, just talking." She explained. There were a couple 'oh's after that.

"He really is a nice man, a little rough around the edges but he has his good points." "Yay! Braid lady likes Ken-chan! This will be a great improvement for Ken-chan!" Yachiru squealed.

"Enough about me. Soi Fon-taicho. What about you?" The woman siply blushed a deep shade of red and looked out of the corner of her eye to Yoruichi who sat next to her.

"I... I don't really like any men." She answered truthfully, that was for sure. "Aw it's okay Soi Fon, there's someone out there for you." Yoruichi cheered and put a hand on her shoulder. "Th-Thank you Yoruichi-sama." She whispered loud enough.

"But do you like someone Yoruichi-sama?" Soi Fon asked. "Ah! A lot of men are pigs but I guess Kisuke would probably be the best choice." Soi Fon felt her little heart shatter. She buried her head underneath the water's surface for a few seconds before resurfacing.

"Kisuke? That perverted shop keeper? Nice choice!" Kukaku laughed.

"Eh, he's alright. Funny and perverted yes. But he can have his good side." Yoruichi's look was suggestive and sly. "Ooh! Yoruichi, naughty woman!" Rangiku giggled.

Yoruichi laughed again before turning to someone else. She skipped Yachiru. Isane admitted she didn't like any guys, Kiyone did too. Kukaku didn't have the time or patience for a relationship. So her final target was Kurotsuchi Nemu, who had been silent this whole time.

"So Nemu, who's your crush?" She asked. The girl had that straight face and sometimes creepy stare. Only now she was just staring at the water.

"I like this boy name Ishida Uryu. The quincy from before. He saved me." Ichigo had to pinch himself to keep from laughing his ass off. Uryu actually had a secret admirer?! No way!

"Oh! Ishida-kun is really nice, I think you two make a nice couple." Orihime said, and for some reason, Ichigo's heart fluttered a little. Barely noticed it though.

"Yeah, that quincy was very cool, he was a strong opponent a while back." Ichigo was about to start laughing. Ishida? Cool?! Yeah, if hell froze over!

The women began talking about girly things after that and the men went back to enjoying their bath, although the silence was troublesome.

They were all just thinking about what the women had just discussed. Ichigo never knew Orihime liked him. Kira never thought Momo would ever like him. Hitsugaya never suspected his bubbly lieutenant actually like him in way.

Kenpachi didn't show it, but he was sort of content on Unohana's confession. Renji was still shocked Rukia actually said she liked him. And Kyouraku thought this was all a lovely dream he was having. Only if this was his dream, he and Nanao would be in the same bath.

Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Hisagi were just snickering at the spaced out men around them. They were liked by a bunch of giggling women! Ha ha! They thought to themselves.

Although Hisagi was a bit disappointed. He sort of like Rangiku too. He began to think Hitsugaya was lucky again. Not just because he had her for a lieutenant, but because he was also loved by her. A lot of men would think the same way he did. A lot of men...

The girls finished talking and giggling to their hearts content and decided to get out, after reclaiming their towels of course.

"Hey, let's go get dressed and then go eat! I'm starving!" Kiyone said. "Yeah. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. I didn't eat all day because I wanted to wait for the onsen's yummy food." Rangiku whined.

"I wonder if they have that expensive rice that nobles eat. Usually onsen's have good rice like that." Unohana wondered aloud.

"That sounds yummy! I hope they got sweet dumplings!" Yachiru cheered.

The giggles and bubbly voices faded away as they entered the building. "Great, now we have to wait five hours to go eat too." Ikkaku grumbled again.

"Uh guys! I think we should get out, I don't think Hitsugaya can last much longer." Kyouraku said. All the men looked over and Hitsugaya's eyes were swirling and he was swaying from side to side. Moaning something incoherent.

"Okay, the heats gotten to him, let's go back to our rooms, we'll go to dinner later." Renji said and he helped Kyouraku lift Hitsugaya out of the water, careful not to let their towels fall. That would be really bad.

"Ah! Yachiru! That was my pork!" Momo squealed. Yachiru devoured the stolen food and went back to her own. The rest of the women pitied Momo for sitting next to Yachiru. Which is why they put her on the end, so only one person had to sit by her, and her thievery.

Tonight's menu consisted of pure white rice, beef and pork ramen, and fish slices with soy sauce. Orihime asked for red bean paste for some of it. Yachiru got a small mountain o sweet dumplings, just for her.

"This is so good!" Nanao said with a wide smile.

"It's like this place knows what you love. I mean, I can't believe they gave me a rice bowl with Chappy on it!" Rukia said. "They always fulfill a guests desires." Yoruichi said, slurping up her ramen. Yachiru shoved all her dumplings down her throat, squealing with agreement.

Yoruichi-sama is even graceful when she eats! Soi Fon thought as she sat by her feline friend.

"Oi, Soi Fon, quit spacing and eat before I eat it for you!" Yoruichi laughed as she put down her empty ramen bowl.

"Ah! Yes." Soi Fon said and went back to nibbling on the beef chunk that inhabited her ramen.

"Pardon me." They all turned to see a maiden who worked at the onsen, kneeling in the doorway. "Please forgive my intrusion, but does the food meet with your approval?" She asked.

"Of course it does. It's more delicious than we could've ever hoped." Nanao answered for them. "I'm glad, I'll inform the cooks right away. Would you also like some dessert?" The maiden asked.

"Yeah! And some more sake while your at it please?" Rangiku said, holding up her glass.

"Of course ma'am. Just let me go visit the gentlemen in rooms 8, 9, and 10 and I shall return." The maiden bowed before backing up and shutting the door.

"Gentlemen huh?" Kukaku wiggled her brows. "Kukaku, we're not here to flirt." Yoruichi smirked. "Aw, but this trip would be more fun if we had a little fun with a few guys. Right Rangiku?" Kukaku asked. The woman raised her glass.

"Hell yeah!" Kukaku lifted her glass and clanked it with Rangiku's. "This trip is for women only. Inviting men over to hang out with us would destroy the trip's purpose. To relax." Nanao said, pushing up her glasses.

"I have to agree with Nanao." Kiyone said, Isane sided with her too.

"Fine, we won't go hang with a few guys. We'll simply eat and then go straight to our entertainment for the evening." Yoruichi said. "Ooh! What's on the agenda?" Orihime asked.

"You'll see." Kukaku said with a devilish smirk.

Little did either the female group, or the male group know that it was harder than they thought to avoid each other.

And that tonight was going to be a night none of them would ever forget.
