Grimmjow lay on the floor looking up at the white walls and ceilings with Ulquiorra and Nel on either side.
"Today's the last day, eh?" Grimmjow took a sigh and closed his eyes.
"Mmn." Ulquiorra replied with the same empty tone as always, staying still and staring right up while having no particular thoughts in his head.
Nel sat straight up with a beaming smile on her smile and leaned over Grimmjow and Ulquiorra, slightly tickling them with the soft strands of her sea green hair.
"We…We should all go out and do stuff! Make sure we don't waste this last day!"
"Ehhhh? There isn't really anything to do…" Grimmjow lazily opened one eye and slowly sat up.
"We have to pack our stuff."
"Oh, Ulquiorra! Don't be so tight!" Nel got up and casually whacked Ulquiorra on the shoulder.
"Hey! Nel-chan! Don't slap my Ulquiorra!"
Orihime came running up to the three with a pout on her face.
"Orihime-chan! What? It's not my fault Ulqui's always so serious!"
"Anyway, you can't hit Ulquiorra anymore, cause he's my new best friend!" Orihime encased Ulquiorra with her arms and pushed up against him which caused his head to press tightly against her chest.
"Aww! My Ulqui! Did Nel-chan hit you too hard?" Orihime snuggled into Ulquiorra's head as if he was a little kid being bullied.
"…" Ulquiorra stayed there not saying anything and there was an awkward silence between the four until blood eventually came spurting down the man's nose.
"GAHHH"HAHA! Ulquiorra got a nosebleed!"
"I'm SOOOO sorry! I'm sorry Ulquiorra-kun, I must have suffocated you so bad, your blood came right through your nose instead of your mouth!"
"…"
"She's dumb!" Grimmjow whispered to Nel, rolling his eyes and briefly scratched his bright cerulean hair.
"Ahaha…yeah…"

Rangiku stood up and clapped her hands together with a bright smile on her face.
"Okay! So it's all decided, we'll all go out and spend the day drinking!"
"A-Ah…Rangiku-san…I don't drink…"
"Aww! Ishida-kun! You're so serious all the time!" Rangiku bent over to the man sitting down and gave him a slap on the back.
"GAH!"
"I think she's drunk already…"
"Everyone has to come! No exceptions! Apart from my little Rukia-chan who hates alcohol of course!"
Ichigo turned to Rukia, who had her knees tucked into her belly and was sulking slightly.
"You…You don't like alcohol?"
"Yeah…so?"
"No…Nothing…"
"Ehhhh? Ichigo here doesn't like alcohol either though! Whenever we go to bars, he either skips out or just sits there with us and eats the snacks"
Grimmjow turned to the pair of alcohol haters and smirked.
"You guys can stay here on your own if you want"
"Hey! Who said that? My Rukia-chan's the only exception!"
"Whatever, Rangiku-san!" Grimmjow chuckled and winked at Ichigo with a smile on his face.

Ichigo lay on the sofa, flipping through the channels on the jet black remote and sighing.
*sigh* I'm so bored…What's Rukia doing anyway? She's been in her room the whole time…She can't still be looking for that picture could she?
Ichigo reached for the photo in his black jeans' pocket and smiled at the sight.
Fufu…This will be my life treasure…WAIT! What am I saying? GAH!
"What are you doing?"
"AH! Rukia!" Ichigo shoved the photo back into his pocket and stared at the girl.
"I said, what are you doing?"
"N-Nothing…"
"Whatever, I'm taking a shower, don't walk in on me, pervert."
"Like hell I would! There isn't even anything to see!"
"Bastard!"
-X-
Rukia turned on the shower and stepped in, running her hands through her wet raven black hair down to her shoulders.
Where…Just where is that photo? I…I don't want to lose it…I can't lose it! I shouldn't have brought it here after all…
The troubled girl stepped out the shower and sighed. After drying herself, she reached for her clothes to find they weren't there.
No way…I left them…? I can't walk out with just my towel on…It's either that or walk out naked…Or get Ichigo to give me my clothes…NO WAY! NEVER! I'll just walk out with my towel on…
Rukia wrapped her small maroon coloured towel round her damp body and stepped out, looking down at her toes and trying to avoid Ichigo.
"RUKIA?"
"GAH! Ichigo! Stop looking!"
"What?"
"Stop looking!" Rukia grabbed the nearest thing and flung it towards Ichigo which happened to be her pile of clothes she prepared earlier.
"Hey! What the-?" Ichigo's face blossomed deep red patches when he saw the strawberry lingerie slide down his face.
"Shit! Give that back!" Rukia dashed forwards for her clothes but instead slipped forward due to her wet feet and fell directly onto Ichigo.
Ichigo landed right onto the floor while holding the small girl and felt her soft black hair embrace his neck gently. His face grew even redder and a sudden urge to hug the girl tightly grew inside of him. His heart thumped loudly and his whole body went stiff.
Rukia had her arms wrapped tightly round Ichigo and felt a thumping rhythm beneath her chest which she soon realised was the beat of his heart. Slowly, she opened one eye and saw a tuft of orange spikes. Suddenly, a rush of red liquid dripped down from Ichigo's nose.
Rukia bounced straight up. "GAH! Stop getting nose bleeds all the time, it's not even funny anymore!"
"Sorry…" The way he suddenly lost Rukia's embrace made him feel slightly crestfallen.
"You've got it on my clothes too!" Rukia grabbed her clothes and rushed back into the bathroom, with her face bright pink and heart rate beating at an incredible rate.

Ch.11 end! Okay, I'm sorry I took long to update but I was taking a break and then I realised how long it would take in total to upload a new chapter…*sighs* Oh yeah, that reminds me, you should vote on my poll which asks you how long do you think should be the limit to updating my fanfic chapters? So, basically, how long you can tolerate. Also, please review! I WANT MORE REVIEWS! The more I get, the quicker I update this! Well, that's not strictly true because I have to update my other fanfic first! XD Okay, REVIEW ANYWAY!
