Renji looked extremely taken a back. "Well...er...um...I'll be going now..." Still staring at Harumi he stood up and walked off, back to his division.

A few months later Harumi sat in her office fully healed. She was finishing up her reports from the real world. Sighing, Momo walked in with stacks of paper for Harumi. "Captain," Momo started looking down,"I'm friends with Renji and I know you are as well...He's been feeling really down lately. I know this is a large favor, but would you go speak to him?"

Harumi looked up at Momo and shook her head. She had ben noticeably quiet and depressed looking down as well lately," Sorry Momo-chan, but I'm not speaking to him at the moment. If he comes to see me that's a different story." Momo nodded,bow and walked out. Harumi put her head in her hands and sighed. She hadn't actually spoken to Renji since she was under the sakura tree. She sighed and stood up before walking out of her minutes she ran into Yachiru.

"Pink Hair-chan! Come with me! I have a surprise for you!" Yachiru grabbed her arm and pulled her for a while until they got to a picnic with a bunch of girls, The Women's Club. Yachiru forced Harumi to sit grinned," You've been far too gloomy, Pink-hair-chan. We need to give you a make-over!"

Harumi's bright pink eyes went wide," WHAT?! HAVE YOU PEOPLE GONE INSANE?! ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Momo smiled at her," But it would cheer you up! You'd look so pretty!"

Harumi smiled and rolled her eyes. "Fine, but no dying my eyes or hair!"

Yachiru screeched at the idea," Good lordy!We'd never do that! Then you wouldn't be Pink-hair-chan!"

After hours of,"CUT MY HAIR AND I KILL YOU!", "WHAT ARE YOU TO DO WITH THAT?!", and the classic,"IS THAT A TORTURE DEVICE?!", Harumi finally was saw herself in the mirror. Her hair was straight and just below her shoulders and side bangs swept over half of her right eye, make-up was simple and perfect for her. She blinked. "Alright, what'd you do with me? Clone me and put her in a mirror?"

Soi Fon sighed,"I'm assuming you like it."

Harumi shook her head," I don't like it," Everyone stared at her in awe," I love it!" She grinned and hugged Rangiku, Yachiru, and Momo, considering they had done most of the work and ran back to her division and bumped into someone. "Oh deary! Sorry!" She looked up and saw Renji.

Since Harumi didn't hav her captain's haori on at the moment Renji said,"You must be new here, I'm-"

"NEW HERE?!" Harumi yelled," YOU, RENJI-KUN, CAN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHEN SHE'S OUT OF UNIFORM! YOU ARE HOPELESS!"

"Harumi?!" Rnji asked, schocked.

"Who the hell did you think it was?! Rukia?!"

Renji raised his eyebrows at her. "You just look so...different."

"I don't look that different!"

"Yes you do!"

Momo was watching, satifised from a few feet away, as Renji and Harumi bickered. Toushiro suddenly came up beside her. "Why are you watching the two idiots argue?"

Momo turned to Toushiro," Because, I just fixed their friendship."

Toushiro sighed and shook his head,"You shouldn't interfere with things like that, it can come back to haunt you, Momo."

Momo rolled her eyes," Whatever, Shiro-chan."

"It's Captain Hitsugaya to you!'

"Shiro-chan,Shiro-chan, Shiro-chan!"

"It's Captain Hitsugaya, Bedwetter Momo!"

Yachriu watched, laughing as the two sets of childhood friends bickered about the simplest things. She watched things settle back to the way they were supposed to be.
