Next chapter up! And there'll be another tomorrow morning and evening :) Enjoy!

"Cero Oscuras."

Rukia looked up as a bright green Cero filled the area near the rockpools. She turned to look at her brother who had ignored the flash.

"Nii-sama?"

"Don't worry about it Rukia, it's just those Espada being unruly again," he assured her, patting the giant sand Chappy. "Hmm, I think I'll go get some shells for the eyes."

With that he got up and walked off to the shore where he was sure to find some nice shells. With a smile of adoration, Rukia turned back to her beloved sand creation.

"Why hello Rukia-chan, whatcha doin'?" came a mocking voice.

Groaning inwardly Rukia turned to face the silver-haired ex-captain with a glare.

"What do you want Ichimaru?"

"Aww ya're so rude," he said, feigning hurt. "I was just comin' over to see whatcha makin'."

"Doesn't Aizen need you?" she asked, turning to look at the Lord of the Hollows.

He and Tosen were working very hard on a colossal masterpiece.

"Nah they're fine without me fer a bit," he grinned. Then his expression changed as he stared just behind her, pointing, "Rukia look, is that a giant Chappy waving at you?"

"What! Where?" she cried, jumping up, and running over to where she thought he had been pointing.

With a satisfied smile he whispered "Shoot to kill, Shinso," and his sword shot out, stabbing the giant Chappy and causing its destruction, then smoothly sweeping back to its hilt.

Rukia came back looking annoyed, "Where was it Ichimaru? Ichimaru?" she looked around, he was gone.

Shrugging, she turned back to her Chappy, and stared at its collapsed, sandy remains, and burst into tears.

"What's wrong Rukia?" cried Byakuya, dropping the shells and running over to sister. "What happened to Chappy?"

"I-it was Ichimaru," she sobbed. "He told me there was a giant Chappy waving at me, and when I came back he and it was gone!"

He frowned, "Oh no he didn't, Scatter Senbonzakura!"

"ARGH!" screaming Gin, running by them as the pink petals chased him. "I was just kiddin', ya're so tense! Gack no! -"

Gin turned to Aizen, watching his counterpart run across the beach, chased by a mass of pink.

"Good plan Aizen-Sama," he sniggered.

Aizen smirked and drank his tea, "Isn't it just? Menoly, fan faster, Loly, fan slower."

"Yes Aizen-Sama," the two girls chorused, doing as he bid.

Just then they heard a shriek and they looked up to see Momo running towards them.

"AAIIZZEENN-TTAAIICCHHOO!" she cried.

"She's still at it?" asked Gin incredulously.

"I'll get her Aizen-sama," said Tosen, reaching for his Zanpakuto, but Aizen raised his hand, watching her with interest.

"What's she holding?" asked Loly curiously.

"Ahem, Loly," Aizen reminded her, looking up at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh sorry Aizen-sama!" she replied, hurriedly continuing her fanning.

"Aizen-taicho," cried Momo, running up to him and bowing down. "I made you something," she held up a sand reincarnation of his head.

Aizen stared incredulously, Gin even opened his eyes, and Tosen hit something because he could not see what he was, because he is blind (remember that Shonen, blind men can't play Chess, or monitor Hollows, or watch the surveillance cameras).

"HOW DARE YOU!" shrieked Loly, dropping the fan and jumping at the lieutenant.

"Nyahah!" cried Momo, jumping out of the way and handing the head to Aizen, who now looked a little sick. "You can't stop true love!"

"Then you're already done for!" exclaimed the pigtailed Arrancar.

"No I think you'll find that you're, as you say, "done for"."

"No you are!"

"No you!"

"You!"

"You infinity!"

Loly growled, clenching her fists.

"Hinamori?" came the voice of Toshiro, climbing over the sand dune and glaring at the people there. "I thought we'd tied you up?"

"Don't be silly Shiro-chan! Nothing can stop the truest love there ever was!" she sighed, holding onto Aizen's leg.

Toshiro whimpered and plopped onto the sand, looking downcast.

"Gin," whispered Aizen, trying not to make any sudden movements. "Get her off me, she's freaking me out, which isn't an easy thing to do living with you all the time, and with Tosen come to think of it, and Ulquiorra, and Szayel, and Zommari, and especially Aarronnierro-"

"Ya're digressing sir."

"Sorry. Just, get. Her. Off. ME!"

Gin nodded and looked over to Tosen, making hand motions which the dark man seemed to actually understand. He then looked at Toshiro who stood up and readied himself, then Loly and Menoly who dropped their fans.

"NOW!" he cried.

Everyone jumped at the squirming girl and pinned her down, trying to get her off his leg. It was not working; she clung on like a limpet.

"Alright," said Gin stepping back and taking out his Zanpakuto. "There's only one thing we can do: chop off ya leg sir."

"What?"

"Sorry but it's the only option and she'll leave ya alone after that."

"I really don't think-"

"Ready?"

"No I'm not ready!"

"Three."

"Gin."

"Two."

"GIN!"

"ONE-"
