Chapter 5 – Prison, Couches, Councils and Sake

Time passed by fast and before the two women knew it, Renji and Byakuya were coming back from getting Rukia from the world of the living.

Kari moved up in ranks to 4th seat to be exact, and Kaname to 3rd . How did Kaname move up to the 3rd you may ask? WELL, while trying to set up a prank, Renji found Kari and Kaname in the act. Renji thought it would be a good idea to scare Kaname, and sadly, was kicked in the face, and flew through a wall, getting knocked unconscious.

As of now, the girls sat on the roof of the 11th division, hiding with Yachiru because of they were in the middle of pranking Ikkaku, which involved a wig and crazy glue. They giggled watching Ikkaku running around like Kenpachi with Yachiru's instructions, trying to find them. They laughed even harder as he ran the other way. They started to pound the roof and roll around…it was hilarious 'till Kaname fell off the roof… then they started to laugh harder.

Kaname fell straight down into the waiting arms of… "MY HERO!" Kaname said dramatically as she stroked Renji's face in a loving matter. Renji just gave her a look, as if to say, "Where the hell did you come from?" Kari and Yachiru laughed even harder at that as they peeked out from the edge of the roof. Renji started blushing as Kaname looked deep into his brown eyes.

"Get a room!" Kari choked out in-between breaths, "Oh we intend to!" Kaname said suggestively. Kari and Yachiru started to laugh even harder (if it was even possible) at the blushing Pineapple.

Renji took a deep breath as he put Kaname down. However, Kaname refused to be put down. She clung to him. Kari and Yachiru almost fell off the roof as they saw a struggling pineapple trying to get Kaname off of him.

Finally, Kaname let go. As she fell to the ground, she whined, "Ren-chan! You're so mean! Owwie!" She started to cry. Renji was flustered; he didn't know what to do with the crying 3rd seat.

Kari jumped off the roof and glomped Renji to the ground. "REN!" she screamed then went to Kaname's side.

"Why'd you laugh when I fell?" Kaname whined to Kari, wiping away her (fake) tears.

"Because you cry, I cry, you laugh, I laugh, you fall off a cliff, I laugh even harder!" She said in hysterical laughter. Kaname joined in, knowing full well that she would do the same in Kari's position.

"So Kia-chan is back?" Kaname asked as she went up to Renji ,who just got up from Kari's glomp.

"Yeah, and we found out she gave her powers to a human." Renji said angrily, the two girls were shocked. Kaname backed away a bit as Renji's temper flared as red as his hair.

"So she's in jail." Kaname said not concerned at all, "Are you worried at all?" He questioned, now bemused. "Nope." Kari grinned, trying not to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Renji questioned, annoyed. "What are you wearing" Kari tried to ask but burst out laughing. Kaname looked at the white yukata with pink flowers on it and giggled.

"WHAT? IT'S MY DAY OFF LEAVE ME ALONE!" Renji growled loudly. Kaname giggled. "Now that's sexy." Renji blushed.

"Where's Chiru?" Kari asked changing the topic. "Don't know." Kaname answered, still staring at Renji.

"Well, see you at prison." Kari said flash stepping away. Kaname smiled a great smile while advancing on Renji.

"What?" he questioned, trying to back away but found himself against the wall. He blushed when Kaname's face was centimetres away. She grinned and placed a small kiss on his cheek, then flash stepped away.

"Why does she always tease me like that?" He subconsciously pouted, touching his face where she kissed him, blushing lightly.

"Kaname, want a drink?" Kari asked as she bent over and opened the mini fridge. Once again, the women were in jail and relaxing.

"Sure, can I have some 7-Up?" She said, lying on their couch. Kari gave Kaname her 7-Up and took a sip of sake that she snuck in. Kari walked to the wall and slid down.

"So Kia, how's the world of the living this time around?" She asked Rukia, who sat back to back with Kari, who was just on the other side of the wall.

"Very lively, they have metal tin cans that move!" She answered knowing full well that was not the answer Kari wanted. The bottle of sake slipped through the bars, and Rukia stared at it for a few seconds before grabbing it and taking a swing. She passed it back through the bars, where Kari grabbed it and took another swing.

"Kia-chan, answer Kari-chan properly." Kaname scolded, as she looked towards the wall Kari and Rukia were sitting against. She flipped onto her stomach and put her chin in her hands as she and Kari exchanged a look.

Rukia looked up from the ground and stared at the ceiling and debated over telling them what they wanted to know.

"There are a lot of people with high spirit energy." She answered finally. "Including the one who you gave your powers to..." Kaname finished for Rukia. "What's his name?" Kari asked, passing the bottle back towards Rukia.

She took it and waved it around making the liquid inside swirled inside the bottle. She took one last swing before swallowing the liquid and passing the bottle to Kari and getting up.

"Ichigo … Ichigo Kurosaki", Rukia sat back in her chair.

"Number 1 guardian eh?" Kaname said, pouting as she compacted her empty can of 7 up. Kari started to giggle, "Looks like we're going to have some fun with a black-point strawberry."

Kaname giggled. "So, Rukia, you liiiiiiiike him, don't ya? Hmm, was he really hot? He was, wasn't he? You don't like just ANYONE. Tell us more!"

Renji chose that moment to walk in. He heard Kaname and shook his head. He walked up to Rukia cell and didn't say a word. Rukia also didn't say a word.

Kaname grinned at Kari and then asked Renji, "Hey, Ren-chan? You saw that Strawberry guy, right? Was he hot? Did you see his abs or anything? Come on, Ren-chan, we wanna know!"

Renji turned around and started yelling, "WHAT THE HELL? WHAT KINDA QUESTION IS THAT? NO, I DIDN'T SEE HIS…WHATEVER AND WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME, KANAME, LIKE I WOULD KNOW?" Renji's face was bright red. Kaname grinned. "Looks like someone's jealous." She winked at him.

Renji's face got even more red and Kari changed the subject, fearing he burst a blood vessel.

"Thanks a lot Rukia, you drank all my sake!" Kari pouted as she tried to get the last drop of sake out of the bottle.

"WHAT? How the hell did you get sake in here?" Renji asked, fully confused.

"How did we get a couch in here?" Kaname replied with a playful smirk. Renji ignored the question

"Renji, am I going to die?" Rukia asked quietly. Renji turned towards her.

"No way! Captain Kuchiki is probably begging for your life, as we speak!" Renji said. Kari snorted in disbelief, "Oh yes, I would love to see that happen." Kari would've paid half her paycheque to see that.

Kari and Kaname already knew what was going to happen as Byakuya gave the message. He unlocked Kari and Kaname's cell and swiftly left the room, not looking at either of them.

Kari came out first, Kaname following. Kaname glared at Renji, telling him to leave. "How do I know your not going to try to bust her out?" Renji asked, feeling slightly hurt but left the room at the icy and dangerous glares he got.

"Kia-chan, I can tell you this much, when the human that you gave your powers comes to rescue you, you can be sure we will be helping." Kaname said with a smile.

"I messed up his life Kaname; why would he come and save me?" She whispered and turned to face them.

"Kia you're so blind, I bet you he'll come and he'll beat Kuya." Kari smiled and then disappeared along with Kaname. Rukia was left staring off into space, thinking of the human world.

"So what do you want to do?" Kaname whined.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?" Kari whined right back.

The women were roaming the 6th squad, wondering what they should do when a hell butterfly came to land on Kaname's outstretched finger. "4th seat of the 11th division Kari Kurotsuki and 3rd seat of the 6th squad Kaname Kōri, you are to report to he captain meeting room for your new mission" the butterfly said.

Kaname flicked it off her finger and blew her hair out of her face. Kari laughed as the butterfly muttered angrily to itself as it hobbled away.

The two friends looked at each other and smirked. "Wanna race?"

"You're on!"

The Captain Commander awaited the women along with the rest of the captains. The message was sent out just a few minutes ago and they expected to see them in about 10 minutes. The Captains were chatting among themselves when the floor started to vibrate.

All of a sudden, the doors flew open and Kari and Kaname went flying in.

"Why am I the slowest?" Kaname pouted as she flopped onto the ground, sweating and pouting. "Maybe you should train more." Kari said with a smirk, as she wiped the sweat that rolled down her temple.

"Hey I work just as hard as you!" Kaname countered.

"How did you guys get here so fast?" Ukitake asked amazed. The females looked at each other and smirked. They turned back to him, with a "no duh" look on their faces.

"Jūshi-chan, just who did we use to hang around, years ago?" Kaname pouted, upset he didn't remember.

"Oh that's true." Ukitake said laughing nervously. All the other captains except for Shunsui, Unohana, Byakuya, Mayuri, and the Captain commander himself looked confused.

"Kari Kurotsuki and Kaname Kōri, you are hereby ordered to investigate the appearance of a strange reiatsu in Karakura Town. You leave immediately." The Captain Commander commanded. Kaname caught the small frown that Gin made but as soon as it was there it was gone.

"Aye, aye Captain" The women echoed.

"Who lives in a pineapple (REN-CHAN) under the sea?" Kaname asked.

"SpongeBob SquarePants!" Kari answered right back.

"Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!" Kaname smirked.

"SpongeBob SquarePants!"

"If nautical nonsense be something you wish…(TEDDY-CHAN!)"

"SpongeBob SquarePants!"

"Then drop on a deck and flop like a fish" Kaname sang.

Everyone gave the pair a funny look. "Geez, haven't you guys ever watched SpongeBob?" Kaname said, walking out of the room. Kari walked out after her after giving an intense stare to the captains.

The captains all looked at each other. Captain Hitsugaya spoke up. "Well, I'm glad that we picked them to go. Finally, some peace and quiet!" The Captains all aye-d heartily.

The friends then went home to get a few things, then went straight to the gate that lead to the human world.

After getting a cell phone with the whereabouts of the hollow on it, the friends left.

"So were are we going to look first?" Kaname asked as they walked out of the Senkaimon. They looked around the place where they landed and the tall buildings surrounding them.

They walked towards a small shop. "Urahara shoten? It couldn't be…" The women hid their spiritual pressure so that it can't be detected and creeped inside the open window on the 2nd floor.

Careful not to be spotted, the women went into the back room and down into the basement. Urahara touched the Senkaimon but pulled back quick after he was shocked. "Ki/ Ki-chan" was yelled before he was tackle hugged by the pair.

"Kari? Kaname? What are you guys doing here?" Kisuke said as he hugged the women back, but shut up when he saw their uniforms.

"So you became Shinigami?" Tessai asked as he came forward with Ururu and Jinta.

"Yuppers… Where's Yoruichi? And Shishi-chan?" Kaname asked with fake tears in her eyes.

"Hehehe, well... I have no clue were Shinji is, but as for Yoruichi... you just missed her. She left with Ichigo to save Rukia." Kisuke said as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. The women looked at each other with comical tears in their eyes.

Kari groaned. "That Strawberry! First he takes Rukia's powers and makes her sad and now he goes off with Yoruichi! That PLAYER!" Kari resolved to prank him in the near future.

Kaname grinned. "I actually feel bad for him. You know what she's like…" Both the women grinned as they thought of their prankster older sister.

"Come on, let's have a drink upstairs while you tell me what the Soul Society's been like in the past century." Kisuke said as they climbed the ladder and came to the table. Ururu and Jinta peeked through the window and Jinta loudly exclaimed, "Who the heck are THEY?" Kari gave him a death glare as Kaname smiled wickedly at him. They motioned to his baseball bat. Jinta gulped and ran. Ururu giggled.

"Tessai! can you bring our guests some tea please!" Kisuke said in his cheerful voice.

Kaname added, "Ooh, make it green tea and chai please! Oh, with cookies too, if you have any, Tes-chan!"

"Right away sir…and Ms. Kaname!" he said as he rushed out of the room.

The friends then started to inform Kisuke of the new captains and new pranks that have been pulled in the Soul Society (by them, of course).

"And now we have to find this new weird hollow thingy." Kari finished as she downed her tea in one shot. Kaname followed her example.

"Hmm, just so you know. Do you remember the Hōgyoku?" Kisuke said scratching his chin.

"Ya why?" Kaname asked munching on a cookie.

"I put it in Rukia's gigai." He said then hurried to try and protect his face but still got a foot in the face.

"YOU IDIOT, IT MIGHT KILL HER IS SHE IS SAVED!" Kari yelled her foot on his head.

"Calm down if she is saved I will take it out of her, but I want you to be aware of it just in case a certain someone tries to take it" Kisuke said thankful that Kari removed her foot.

"Ki-chan, can we borrow some gigais? " Kaname asked with a devilish grin. Being too afraid to refuse, Kisuke nodded and lead them to the back.

"Here you go and be careful with them!" Kisuke said as he watched the women get into the gigai that he had already prepared for them.

Kari looked over at Kaname nodded approvingly. She had a knee-length black skirt on with a sun yellow top. On her feet, she wore cowboy boots that went just below her knee. Her lower back-length red hair was in a ponytail.

Kari looked down and squealed. "OMG, I love the jacket!" She wore an open, long, leather trench coat over a leather halter top. She wore a pair of very tight leather jeans, and a pair of two-inch high heeled boots that went up to her knees. Her left arm was still covered by the same glove she usually wore and she still had the same biker glove on her right hand.

"I love the shoes!" she squealed again "Thanks Ki\Ki-chan!" the girls said, hugging the man once more. Kisuke smiled nervously as he bid them farewell.

The two women completely hid their reiatsu and left the shop in search of the strange reiatsu of Karakura Town.
