KARAKURA DISPATCH: URAHARA ENTERTAINMENT'S LATEST UPLOAD A DUET BALLAD BY RISE OF GIRLS' REIGN AND..?

Last night, at approximately 12:03 AM, a new song was uploaded onto U.H. ent.'s official youtube channel. The video was entitled, "The Sun, The Moon, & The Truth". The video had no footage, but a single photo that last the entire 4 minutes and 43 seconds of the video.

The photo was of Girls' Reign's leader Rise, dressed in white, posing with a man, who is seen to be kissing her forehead. The man was quickly identified by fans as Kurosaki Ichigo, a manager of Girls' Reign. It is also deduced that K.I., which was the name on the photo next to Rise, are the initials of Kurosaki.

Now we wonder, what does U.H. ent. mean by this surprise upload, that came with no warning? Is this their way of announcing Rise's true relationship with Kurosaki-san?

bbygurl2007 I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ballad. it's so soothing bad lovely. Rise's voice suits ballads well anyways. Manager Kurosaki should debut with a group of his own!

allrise4rise They're 100% dating, its obvious from the picture itself. SHES WEARING A WEDDING DRESS PEOPLE. and that tiffany ring too.

risokoss this has to be fake! urahara's forcing rise to pretend she's dating their manager to hide the REAL relationship, which is risehime!

ballerina101 well, i'm not going to accept or reject anything until urahara calls a press conference


Rukia sighed softly as she made her way to the kitchen, opening the fridge and taking out a bottle of milk tea. Yesterday night, her duet song "Glow" had been uploaded to the official youtube channel. She had no idea what kind of response the public had, but she'd stayed inside all day under Urahara's order. She knew Ichigo was at Urahara building right now, as she'd texted him earlier.

Urahara had said to remain at her dorm until after the press conference he was holding today. So Rukia had stayed inside, waiting for Urahara to call.


BREAKING: KARAKURA DISPATCH: CEO URAHARA KISUKE CONFIRMS GIRLS' REIGN LEADER RISE IS ENGAGED

Today, Urahara ent. held a press conference to which the attendees were Urahara Kisuke, Shihoin Yoruchi, as well as Kuchiki Byakuya & Kurosaki Isshin. At the short conference, Urahara Kisuke confirmed that Rise of Girls' Reign is engaged to Kurosaki Ichigo. Further revelation states that they plan to marry in May of next year.

Urahara denied that Rise's marriage would equal her termination from Girls' Reign, as well as the disbandment of the group. He further stated that neither he nor Girls' Reign intend to end their contracts due to Rise's taking hiatus.

We congratulate Rise on her engagement and wish her the best.


When Urahara returned from the press conference, he called Rukia from his office and told her that everything had been confirmed. A few minutes after Rukia hung up the call, there was a knock at her door.

She opened it, and Ichigo threw his arms around her, closing the door behind her as he went entered the house, kissing her cheek.

She wrapped her arms around him, her face pressed against his chest as they stood there for a long time.

"It's over," Ichigo's voice was soft and full of relief, "We don't have to stay hidden anymore.."

Rukia tilted her chin up, looking at him with wide indigo eyes.

"I'm happy, Ichigo."

"Yeah." his finger traced her brow gently, "Me, too."

They both looked over at the door when they heard the bell ring. Rukia let go of Ichigo, walking over and opening the door, only to be bombarded by her members.

Orihime threw her arms around her, causing them to stumble back slightly, "Oh, Rukia, it's so exciting! We're so happy for you! Now you and Kurosaki-kun can hold hands in public! Oh Rukia, can I be your bridesmaid? I know its early to ask, but.." Inoue went on talking incredibly fast. Rukia laughed as Momo and Tatsuki hugged her too, and Tatsuki went to tease Ichigo.

Everything, Rukia decided, was going to turn out fine.


Once again, all four girls stood in a line inside of Urahara's high ceiling office. Urahara sat at his desk.

"As you know ladies, the Japan Music Awards is held ever year on December 28th. This year, I received notice that Girls' Reign has been nominated for 5 different awards- best female group, best dance performance female group, best female vocal performance, artist of the year, and song of the year... so its vital that you attend. It will be held in the city of Seireitei, as always. You will fly there in 2 weeks."


Rukia laid quietly on her bed, dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, her hair fresh and damp from her recent shower. She propped her leg onto her other knee, wiggling her pink painted toes as she ate the gummy worm Momo had attempted to scare her with. Currently the other girls were in the kitchen, and Tatuki was in the room she shared with Momo, probably on her laptop.

Rukia laid there, feeling content and relaxed, her eyes only opening when she heard her phone vibrate on her nightstand. She reached out blindly, feeling for it and grabbing it.
