A/N: I apologize for such a late update. Working on a costume for a convention last month took up alot of my time. Well, here's the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it!


Chapter 04- Interim: SWA Meeting

"It's settled then. Can I get a motion to move on to the next item on the agenda?"

"Motion to discuss the next item."

"Thank you, Kiyone. We shall now be brainstorming how to undermine the men's association for the upcoming month. I open the floor to debate."

"We could raid their sake stash."

"Or cut their funds."

"We already did that two months ago, remember?"

"Oh right."

"I say we challenge them to a tug-of-war match."

"You've been drinking too much. Now, shut up."

"Up yours."

"Ladies! At ease!"

"Dammit! Who ate all the burritos?"

"Isane did. That's why she's been in the bathroom."

"That long? Daaaamn…."

"Nee-san was very hungry! She didn't get to take her lunch hour today."

"Rukia, your dog looks in pain."

"Hey, it better not throw up on the carpet."

"Ladies, please stay on topic."

"…"

"I motion to leave the men's association alone for this month."

"Can I get arguments for and against? Rukia and Soifon."

"Ummm… we didn't grant them enough funds last month, so they had to go without bath maintenance for the entire time… "

"They're men. They deserve to suffer."

"Wow, captain! What a compelling argument!"

"Quiet on the floor! Can I get a motion to vote?"

"Motion to vote."

"Thank you, Nemu. We are now voting on granting a period of immunity to the men's association from the SWA to last thirty days. Ayes?"

"…"

"Nays?"

"…"

"The 'ayes' have it. This motion is effective at midnight."

Byakuya had attended SWA meetings in the past, but never any like these. For one, the women sitting in a semi-circle on the floor were more casual then when he was around. For example, Matsumoto was lying in the ground with one of her breasts threatening to slip out. Not that he would mind if gravity continued to play its role…

He'd been listening to the meeting for the past hour after his barking had forced the vice-president of the SWA to request Rukia to quiet him. Instead, his sister chose to bring him along. Byakuya thanked the gods that Yachiru was off on a mission with Zaraki in the world of the living.

"Next topic: calendar!"

What…?

"The floor is now open to ideas."

"Isn't it too early for that?"

"Yesh. Yesh it is. I agree wi' dat."

"Rangiku, you're slurring."

"Erggghh…."

"Um. What's the set up going to be?"

"Well, I think it would be good to match each captain and lieutenant with their respective month, no?"

"You mean, Captain Unohana with April, Captain Kuchiki in June and so on?"

"Yeah!"

"What do you mean, 'yeah'? Are you crazy!?"

Byakuya wasn't the only one to be stunned at his sister's sudden outburst. Even Matsumoto had to flip over to get a good look at the source of the exclamation. He assumed it stemmed from her division being the Thirteenth and therefore having no month to place Ukitake in.

Byakuya stared at the younger Kotetsu sister for confirmation and saw that she had both her thumbs up. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Matsumoto's breasts were now once again firmly secure in place.

Foiled again…

"Kuchiki? Explain."

"Captain Kurotsuchi would have December."

Silence.

He didn't see what was wrong with Kurotsuchi being pictured for the month of December. Nemu Kutosuchi's face provided no clue as it was expressionless.

"Motion to assign Captain Kurotsuchi to February. All for?"

"…"

"All against?"

"…"

"Abstaining?"

"…"

"Motion passes. Captain Kurotsuchi will be Mr. February."

"'Mr. February'?"

"What the hell woman!?"

"Don't say that! Gross!""

"That is an upsetting image…"

Ise adjusted her glasses, clearly peeved. "I apologize for implying that this calendar would be one of those calendars. I was merely attempting to make a joke."

"If you're gonna make a joke, please don't sound so serious."

"Not that any of us would mind of those calendars…"

Another silence took a hold of the room. Byakuya noticed that many of the women were looking upwards with pleased smiles on their faces. Curious to see what was making them so happy, he turned towards the ceiling and saw nothing.

Nothing that would make him smile at least. There sere several lollipops dotting the roof giving it a rainbow like appearance, but clearly, this was not bothering anyone as much as it was bothering him at the moment.

Even Rukia was…

No.

What they were doing…

They wouldn't happen to be fanaticizing, would they?

As if to answer his question, blushes began popping up on each woman's face.

Soifon?

Ise?

Kurotsuchi?!

Byakuya didn't know what was more fascinating, that the Twelfth Division Lieutenant was blushing, or that her father had found it necessary to equip his daughter with blushing capabilities.

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't curious to know who each woman had on their respective minds. Well. The present Kotetsu sister's object of affection was pretty obvious.

…unless he was wrong.

Had he been human, Byakuya would have definitely been rubbing his non-existent beard.

Ise cleared her throat, embarrassed that she had fallen prey to her fantasy.

"There's nudding to be shy 'bout, Nanao," Matsumoto slurred, "We still haff 'da negatives to 'dem nude photographs of Kira and Hisagi, riiight?"

"We have nude photos?!"

"I thought you said they were burned!"

"This is NOT the appropriate moment to be discussing the alleged photographs!"

"But it IS appropriate!"

"Yeah! Since the Third and Ninth Divisions have no Captains, let's use the nudie photos of Kira and Hisagi for the calendar!"

At this point, the room turned into a war zone.

Kami have mercy on my soul...
