Hi reader.

You come here often?

Lol we should sooooo date sometimes.

Random person: -Samurai, that just made you sound exceedingly creepy. What she meant to say was that she doesn't own Bleach or claim to own it. She isn't rich and she can't afford a lawsuit. Or a restraining order.-

Where did you come from? Oh well, he's right so don't sue me.


"I don't see why we have so may god damn meetings. This is, like, the sixteenth meeting we've had this month." Grimmjow complained.

"Will you shut up Grimmjow? I'm aware that we've had a lot of meetings but if you don't be quiet, the next meeting will be discussing your funeral." Ulquiorra finally said. He had been listening to Grimmjow's whining for an hour and had finally gotten sick and tired of it.

"Well it's not our fault that midget-bitch Rukia ran off! It's Aizen's, and because of Rukia running without any problems some of the other wenches ran. I don't blame Inoue-san one bit considering I'm seriously about to make a break for it if he keeps calling his stupid meetings."

"Grimmjow, I swear to god I'm about to replace you with Luppi." Ulquiorra threatened.

"What?! You're going to replace me with Aizen's fugly transvestite?!" Grimmjow hissed as they entered the meeting room with Aizen and his other samurai.

"I'm not fugly!" Luppi whined. He was wearing a kimono with lavender flowers on it and was sitting next to Aaroneiro. (o_O")

"Shut up tranny." Grimmjow said, sitting in between Ulquiorra and Nnoitra.

"Quiet, all of you. I have called this meeting because Aaroneiro has found some footprints out by the gate. He believes them to belong to Inoue-san and her kidnappers. Perhaps even Rukia. I want you to devide into groups of four. Except Ulquiorra's group gets five. Because Luppi has nowhere else to go. You are all dismissed."

"Oh this if just fuckin' fantastic! Not only do I have to spend all my free time looking for little girls, but now I have to work in a group made of social rejects!" Grimmjow started rambling again once they left the room.

"Aw come on Grimmy it could be worse. You could lack the ability to attract women...Oh wait...you do." Luppi taunted, batting his fake eyelashes.

"...He says dressed in drag." Grimmjow added, causing Luppi's smile to be replaced by a frown.


"Oh Rukia-san you gave me such a scare! Just after we became friends you fell through ice! You have such bad luck. Oh but don't worry, I'm clumsy too. In fact just the other day I tripped and fell down the stairs." Orihime informed her. Rukia laughed nervously and patted her on the shoulder.

"Yeah that happens to me sometimes to." She said.

"So Rukia, what were Aizen's foot-soldiers' names again?" Renji asked, sounding on edge for some reason.

"Er...Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Nnoitra, and Yammy were the ones you saw. Why do you ask?"

"Because Tsunade saw them here a couple days ago and they were looking for you." Tatsuki answered. Rukia sucked in her breath and let it out in a huge gust of air.

"A-are you sure that they-"

"Tsunade said so herself." Renji said. Ichigo grabbed her hand in an effort to comfort her.

"Well we will do all the worrying when they come back. If they come back." Ichigo Said.

"Oh an also there are some concerns with sleeping arrangements." Renji added, deciding that saying this while Ichigo and Rukia were in good moods was the best idea at this point.

"What kind of concerns?" Ichigo asked skeptically.

"Well you see there aren't enough beds for all of us. It looks like someone will have to share." He said, clearly not liking the glare that the two were giving him.

"And it'll have to be either you and Renji or you and Rukia." Tatsuki concluded.

"Wha-? No way in hell am I going to sleep in the same bed as Renji." Ichigo spat.

"Well we figured as much. You're sleeping with Rukia then." Tatsuki said as she and Renji scampered off.

"That scheming little..." Ichigo muttered. Tatsuki had always been able to outsmart people.

"It isn't that bad. We've slept together before, and I think we're close enough friends to have a little trust in eachother." Rukia said.

"Oh of couse we are I didn't mean...I just wanted too...I just don't like not having a choice, that's all." He sighed. 'That didn't come out right at all' he thought.

"Really? Well what would you have chosen then?" She asked.

"That doesn't matter..." He said, turning a bit red.

"It may not matter, but I'm curious now and I would like to know." She said matter-of-factly.

"Well I probably would have tried talking Renji into sleeping on the floor. And if that didnt work I would ask what you would prefer."

"What if I wanted you to sleep on the floor?" She asked teasingly.

"I'd try to talk you out of it. If that didn't work then I guess I'd be sleeping on the floor." He answeed.

"What if I said I wanted to share a bed with you?" She asked, her cheeks tinged with pink. That made Ichigo's face turn a color of red that would put Renji's hair to shame.

"Well I would think you were joking at first..." He said, and then added, "But if you did mean it, I don't think I could refuse." Now it was Rukia's turn to blush.

"W-well then I don't think you should be complaining." She said.

"I guess...So um...Renji and Tatsuki seem to be getting pretty close." Ichigo said, looking for something else to talk about.

"Yes that lovesick fool is always looking at her with that silly look in his eye." Rukia laughed. Little did she know that Ichigo often looked at her with the same look.

"What do you think will happen with them?" Ichigo asked.

"I'm not sure. Maybe he'll get the guts to start courting her." Rukia shrugged. She liked that her best friend had found somebody he was interested in.


Meanwhile

"Do you think it will really work?" Tatsuki asked Renji, who was busy shoving dumplings in his mouth.

"I'b thure i' wiw!" Renji said with his mouth full. It roughly translated to 'I'm sure it will' Tatsuki rolled her eyes.

"I need to stay with you for a couple of days anyway, there's a leak in my shop and it'll take a while to fix." She said.

"B-b-but there are only three beds in our-"

"So? I'm sure we can work it out. Ichigo and Rukia are." Tatsuki assured him. Renji blinked, unsure of what she meant by all that.


"Ulquiorra, I would like your group to return to Osaka and investigate that inn you said was suspicious." Aizen said. Grimmjow groaned and bashed his head into the wall. There was no way he was going to up his rank like this, and if he didn't up his rank, there wasn't any chance he could marry nobility.


This one was short too!

Why do I keep making short chapters?!

Grr.
