Chapter 10: Til death do we part

"Dead! What the hell do you mean? I can't be dead!"

"You can and are, so quit whining!"

"Excuse me for being upset at the fact that I am NO LONGER LIVING!"

"Oh cry me river! When you're done, build a bridge and get the HELL over it! I have enough to deal with! The last thing I need is a troubled spirit. Just f***ing pass on already!"

Ichigo and Kururu had argued for the past twenty minutes. Everyone else was getting sick of it. Tatsuki decided to put a stop to their annoying argument. "Would the two of you SHUT THE HELL UP! I can't even hear myself think! How do you pass him on anyway?"

Rukia explained the concept behind Konso. "Well, if it's that simple I'll do it." She took Ichigo's Zanpacto and stamped Kururu. He started protesting but faded away.

"Problem solved! Here's your overly large kitchen knife." She tossed Zangetsu back to Ichigo.

Rukia was still in shock over what just happened. "Is that even possible? A human that can perform Konso?"

"That doesn't matter. What I want to know is why everyone thinks Zangetsu is a kitchen knife! My Zanpacto is way more badass than a kitchen knife!"

"Ichigo, we don't think it's a kitchen knife. We know it's one. Just yesterday, I used it to slice potatoes. It is a little large, but all things considered, very helpful in the kitchen."

"Why am I the only sane one?"

"Ichigo, you aren't sane. You have a creepy hollow personality that possesses your body and lives in your mind."

"Fine! All of us need to be checked into an asylum! We are all flipping insane!"

"What was you first clue, the fact you can see dead people?"

"I hate you all."

- In the Soul Society -

"Where the HELL am I!?"

The red-haired soul reaper glared at him. "How were you able to get into the Seretei?"

"I don't know! But you people are all dressed like that Ichigo kid! What is going on!?"

"Oh so you know Ichigo? I guess I'll just have to drag his sorry ass here so he can explain himself."

"Don't ignore me Pineapple Head!"

Renji pulled out Zabimaru and held it to Kururu's neck. "My name is Renji. Learn it."

Kururu squeaked as he nodded. He sounded bloodthirsty saying the last part.

"Kid, I can feel you have a powerful reitsu, so I'm taking you to the academy." Renji smirked with an evil gleam in his eye.

Why do I get the feeling this "academy" is going to be like the seventh ring of hell?

"Sucks for you kid. The academy was like the seventh ring of hell."

"Why would you take me there?"

Renji snarled, "Because, I. Don't. Like. YOU!"

Does everyone here have anger issues?

- Karakura Town -

"Hey, I just realized, Tatsuki performed Konso. Rukia is that even possible?"

"Ichigo, now that you mention it, I don't think it has ever happened before. What could this mean?"

"Maybe it means you both are crazy! All I did was hit him on the head! And you are the ones acting like I'm dead or something. I'm standing right here!" Tatsuki was irritated. She didn't mean to make him disappear, she just wanted him to shut the hell up!

"Tatsuki, I'm sure everything will be fine. It is strange, but I'll be by your side every step of the way." Tatsuki thought she would never hear more comforting words than those.

"Hakari, thank you for everything you've done." She slowly wrapped her arms around him. After a moment, she turned and started home. She looked back and smiled at Hanatari's blushing face. She felt as if she were walking on air.

"Wait!" Hanataro's shout made Tatsuki stop and turn. She saw him running to her. She waited until he caught up. "I've wanted to do this for a while." Tatsuki was confused, but then he pulled her close. His lips met hers in a soft embrace. It was the most wonderful feeling. Hanataro pulled away. Tatsuki was disappointed it was over. "I'm sorry if I surprised you. I just wanted to let you know how I feel. You can hit me all you want or leave me, but I want you to know that you are the most amazing person I have ever met."

"I... I don't know what to say. I guess I'll just have to show you how I feel." Tatsuki gripped his shirt and kissed him passionately. The feeling was addictive. She felt her soul flying high leaving her body on the ground as her emotions reached new levels. I have finally reached cloud nine. She sighed and started on her way home. A hollow could have jumped right in front of her and she would have kept on walking.

Her oblivious state indeed was the cause for her misfortune. She never saw the truck coming.

A/N: Ahhhh! I'm so sorry for the super late update! I have been trying to fit everything together before I end it! Yes, sadly, I am ending it soon. Only one, maybe two chapters left. I'm sorry this one is so short! I tried my han at writing the romantic make-out scene. If it sucks, it's because I have nothing to reference. (I'm lame! No romance in my life :p) I am so EVIL! I kept you waiting, wrote a short chapter (sorry!), and I ended it with a CLIFFIE! HAHA! You all now are going to send me protests saying " NOOOOOOO! I must know how it ends! WHY!" Don not worry my faithful readers, I SWEAR ON MY LIFE I will update sooner! Either today or tomorrow, but I will not leave you hanging! (I said I was evil, not the devil) The more feedback and suggestions I get, the easier it is to write, and the faster chapters are posted! Ideas submitted results in longer better chapters! REVIEW! :D
