KARAKURA DISPATCH: GIRLS' REIGN RETURN TO KARAKURA AFTER A WEEK IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Today, girl group Girls' Reign finally returned to Karakura town, after visiting Florida for a week. The group was due back to Karakura yesterday, but the flight was rescheduled after leader Rise was hurt by an airport security and had to be hospitalized. Luckily, all four members have returned in one piece. Now, we await for October as they resume their schedule and begin work on their next comeback.


The girls were standing next to each other in a row, inside of the large office room, with slightly nervous looks on their faces. Yoruichi stood next to the large mahogany desk, her face expressionless. Slowly, the large leather chair behind the desk turned, revealing Urahara, who folded his hands and propped his chin in them, a smirk on his face.

"Welcome back, girls. As you know.. today is September first. You know what that means."

The girls all glanced at each other, and Yoruichi was now smiling, as she jumped up and sat on the edge of Kisuke's desk.

"Comeback time. We're planning to release your new mv on October 7th, if everything goes according to plan. It's a good thing you already recorded the songs for your new album, and learned the choreography.." he smirked appreciatively at his wife, who sat on his desk, "The only things we have left are filming the mv for your title song, Siren. All of you go to the salon room, Rangiku is waiting for you."


The beautiful, large salon room of Urahara ent. building was as clean and bright as always. The girls had gone there after being instructed by Urahara, it was time to change their hairstyles for their comeback.

Rangiku was as beautiful and bubbly as always, tall, and curvacious. Her short blond waves had been pulled back into a ponytail, her nails today were painted in gold and purple.

Her assistant, Yumichika, was as fashionable as ever, his favorite eyelashes/feather in red and yellow. He could be seen walking back and forth in the salon, collecting things they were probably going to use.

"Alright, girls!" Rangiku grinned as they walked into the room, "I'm going to tell you guys about your hair, first, of course. We'll start with miss leader, hm?" she held a hand in Rukia's direction, smiling, "The concept of this comeback is dark, strong, and confident women who are warriors, and don't take crap from anybody."

Rangiku looked down at her clipboard for a moment, "So Rukia-chan, Rise, your main style for this comeback is going to be parted to the right side... we're going to straighten it out, add nice, thick extensions so your hair will be at your lower back.. and we're dying it dark, navy blue.. it will look black normally but it will look amazing under the light!"

"Tatsuki, the length of your hair is at.." she paused, reaching out and fingering her short locks thoughtfully, "I'd say, chin length, once we straighten it. We're going to give you extensions, too. Your hair will be probably halfway down your back. We're giving you some blond streaks, too, to make it more edgy and bold."

"Orihime.. we're actually going shorter with you.. you've had really long hair since your debut, only varying between your waist and your hips. We're not giving you a bob-" she laughed at Orihime's slightly nervous look, "We're cutting it just to chest length. And we're going to dye it a bit darker, too. So it'll be less light burnt orange and more.. say, auburn. We need to fix your bangs, too, so they'll frame your face.

"Momo, we're cutting your hair short." Rangiku laughed at her surprised expression, "We're going shoulder length! And we're dyeing it, too. It'll look dark purplish, but under the light it will be magenta."

"All right? Let's get started! I will work on Rukia and Tatsuki, because I have to do extensions for you guys. Orihime and Momo will be with Yumichika."


Rukia sat in her chair, a heavy plastic cover draped over her shoulders. Her hair was covered with dark, blackish blue dye, and had been covered with a plastic hair cover. She was sitting in her chair, waiting as the dye worked its wonders. She busied herself with her phone, taking a picture of herself, not completely. Only her right eye was showing in the picture, the rest of it mostly the dark blue hair that was up and wrapped in the plastic. She sent the picture to Ichigo.

That night, Rukia arrived at Ichigo's dorm at the apartment complex. There was a large section of the complex that was owned by Urahara entertainment, and was meant to be used as the idols' living areas. Even though Ichigo's family lived in Karakura, Urahara building was on one side of town, and his family home and clinic was on the other side, meaning a 1 hour drive to get from one point to another. Because of this, Ichigo had moved to stay in the complex that the members lived at, as well.

Right now, they were both lying in his bed in the dark. She turned quietly, snuggling closer to his body as his fingers ran gently through her hair- as he'd been doing ever since she'd come over.

"You've never had long hair before," his voice was low and warm in her ear, and she squirmed to get even closer, "It suits you,"

She tilted her chin up slightly, her nose touching the underside of his chin, "Oh?"

"Mm," he ran his fingers gently through the long, navy-black locks, "Your fans are all going to pass out when the mv releases... Rukia.."

"Hm?"

"Remember how I said that Urahara had an idea of how to confirm our relationship.."

"Mhm?"

"Well.." Ichigo's eyes drooped, "Remember that ballad we wrote together, way back when you were a trainee.."
