"I still can't believe she said yes!" Byakuya grumbled with his face covered with his hands.
"There's nothing wrong with it at all!" Rina protested. "Besides don't you think that Rukia has a say in what she wants?"
"I do want Rukia to have her freedom it's just that I'm afraid that Kurosaki might do a really crappy job"
"It's Ichigo we're talking about, he's sure to screw up" Rina pointed out.
Byakuya let out a disgruntled groan from Rina's comment. Suddenly the door slammed open with Renji, Rukia and Ichigo at the door. They raced to Byakuya's desk and slammed their hands down on it with a very serious look of determination on their faces.
"What do you want?" Byakuya asked as his eyes met with the other threes'.
Ichigo's and Rukia's faces dropped down to a neutral look of confusion, they turned their heads over to Renji's.
"Ask him" Rukia said and pointed to Renji.
"Ok then, Renji what do you want?" Byakuya asked.
Their eyes locked together, their icy glares met each others. They didn't blink for one second at all.
"...I'll be leaving now..." Rina said quietly and left the room.
"...So?" Byakuya asked once more.
"I..." Renji started still keeping his face.
"..." Rukia and Ichigo listened closely to Byakuya's and Renji's "conversation".
"...forget" Renji concluded.
"...YOU FORGOT?!!!!! YOU FRICKIN DRAGGED US HERE FOR NOTHING?!!" Rukia and Ichigo screamed at Renji who looked utterly confused.
Byakuya sighed from the complete idiotic person that was being yelled at. "The one moment when I thought I got rid of him...will never come..." Byakuya muttered.

"Why are there so many ants in here?" Rangiku wailed as she stood up on the couch watching all the ants crawl by.
"I know!! They keep crawling all over the place!!" Tori added on, staring down at the ants.
"They're just ants' deal with it" Hitsugaya said watching the two females staring at the ants in fright.
Tori pouted at him. "We're out of Raid smart one!" She told him.
"Now we have a reason to be scared!" He said and jumped up into the air watching the ants crawl by.
"...What's going on here?" Ukitake asked as he opened the door.
"...We have an infestation" Rangiku told him.
"HYA!!" Tori dropped a book on the ants flattening them. "...THEY'RE MULTIPLYING!!!" She shrieked frightened by the ants that crawled over the book.
"...Oh would you look at the...tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!" Ukitake dashed out of the division and straight to another avoiding the ants.
"The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Tori sang out as she watched the ants.
"The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two,
The little one stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" This time Rangiku had joined in with Tori.
"The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three,
The little one stops to climb a tree
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Yachiru happened to be walking by and she heard the song so she decided tojoin in.
"The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching four by four,
The little one stops to shut the door
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" The song was getting louder and louder. The song was as contagious as thecold soon more and more people joined in.
"...Hey I hear a song" Rukia said as she stopped yelling at Renji. Ichigo stopped and listened in. Soon all 4 decided to stop fighting and go to the source of the song.
"...Do you hear singing Mika?" Rina asked as she and Mika were just hanging out since they had nothing to do.
"...Yeah...let's go see!" Mika decided.
When they arrived at 10th Division they were already at the 7th verse of the song. The ants had stopped in their tracks and looked like they were dancing; that or they were just wondering what was going on.
"The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching seven by seven,
The little one stops to pray to heaven
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight,
The little one stops to shut the gate
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Once the song had finished everyone just left.
"...Why won't the ants leave?!" Tori asked watching the ants come and go.
"DOES ANYONE HAVE RAID?!" Rangiku shouted out.
"...Here ya go" Ganju said as he ran by.
"...Hey was that Ganju?" Tori wondered as Rangiku sprayed the Raid all over the place. "GAH!! ASTHMA ATTACK!!!" Tori shouted and collapsed onto the ground.
"MATSUMOTO!!" Hitsugaya roared and immediately dragged Tori out of the room.
Well, after Tori was brought out of the room that smelled of...whatever Raid smelt like, Tori was just fine. Hitsugaya thought that she faking it once that happened.
"What?" She asked innocently.
"You gave me a heart attack that's what!" He yelled back.
"..." The two sat in silence. All they could hear were Rangiku's shouts of success and the sound of ants keeling over by the spray.

"Yo! Hanatarou!" Ganju ran into 4th Division to meet up with Hanatarou.
"Ah Ganju-san! What brings you here?" He asked.
"...It's called I'm escaping nee-chan's torture training" He said in a low hush.
"Oh okay...but don't you think it's kinda obvious to be here though?" Hanatarou asked.
"...What?" Ganju asked dumbfounded.
"I mean, don't you think that Kuukaku-sama would know instantly that you're here?" Hanatarou asked.
"What gave you that crazy idea?" He asked confused.
"Maybe you should turn around" A feminine voice said.
"...Oh I get it now!" Ganju exclaimed with a happy face, he turned around and his expression changed. "KYAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Ganju yelled in fright as he raced out and ran to some odd direction.
"GET BACK HERE!!" Kuukaku yelled as she ran just as fast after him.
He ran into a room without reading the sign and hid in the room. After 5 minutes of complete silence Ganju took the time to see where he was.
"What the hell?" He muttered as he saw 3 guys in the center of the room. "Uh hi?" He waved to the three. "...Hey weren't you guys the 3 evil guys that betrayed Seireitei and got probed up to the Menos?" Ganju asked.
"Yeah..." Gin replied. "What of it?"
"How come you guys are back here?" He asked suspiciously.
"We're in rehab" Gin told him.
"Oh...well while I'm here; think you guys could help me out with my older homicidal sister?" He asked.
"Only if you do us one thing" Gin said with his sly smile. He looked at Tousen and Aizen who nodded in approval. "Sing us: If all the Raindrops" Gin said.
"What?!" Ganju yelled.
"Do you want us to help you or not?" Aizen asked.
"Oh alright..." he sighed.
"If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
If all the sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!" Ganju forced himself to sing that song that kids would probably lean in preschool.
"OK" The 3 former shinigami got up and left in search of Kuukaku.
"So the wedding reception's gonna be at my place during July 17th of some years to come" Rukia said.
"Why so long?" Hinamori asked.
"Have to get nii-sama used to Ichigo in the house first" She explained.
"Oh right"
"Hey have you guys seen my idiot of a brother?" Kuukaku asked as she ran into them.
"Um...nope" Rangiku answered.
"Is he here?" Mika asked.
"Yeah he's supposed to be training but he ran away" She explained.
"Hey are you Kuukaku?" Someone asked and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yeah" She answered and turned around.
"Hey you guys are supposed to be in your padded room!" Yachiru told them.
"Your brother's looking for you!" Aizen told her and pointed to where Ganju was.
"WHAT?! NO I WASN'T!!" Ganju yelled as he started to run away. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP ME GET HER AWAY FROM ME!!!" He yelled.
"YOU JUST SAID YOU WANTED OUR HELP!!!" Gin yelled at him.
"STUPID LOOPHOLES!!" Ganju cursed as he doubled his speed.
"Yeah we're leaving" Aizen said and the 3 left.
"...That was weird" Rukia said.
"No kidding"
"So who's gonna help me out with this?" Rukia asked the girls.
"We will!" All of them said.
"OK! I'm also gonna need some help from the guys too..." She said quietly.
"We'll get them to help us!" Rangiku said.

"Hey Rina wait up!" Rukia ran over to Rina, it was already 10 PM and almost everyone had decided to go home.
"Yeah? What is it Rukia?" She asked.
"Well I was hoping you'd give me advice about my situation" She said shyly.
"...Am I a marriage counselor or something?" Rina wondered.
"Huh what was that?" Rukia asked.
"Oh nothing"
"Um...I was wondering, do you think it's strange for me to get married already?" She asked shyly.
"...No why?" Rina asked.
"Well, it's just that I'm the first one in a few centuries and... well it just came so fast!"
"I know what you mean, it's hard to deal with a 17 year old doofus proposing to you" Rina said. "I've been surrounded by idiots I can understand"
"Yeah but none of them have proposed to you" Rukia pointed out.
"Well you should talk this out to Ichigo and..." Rina paused. "God this is what I always have to say" She sighed. "Give it some time"
"Ok"
"There's no need to rush things anyway, you have a whole long life ahead of you so why rush things?"
"Right, thanks"
"Oh can you tell Ichigo something?" Rina asked before leaving.
"Yeah of course"
"Tell him that he has a match with Zaraki tomorrow and that Ganju's "visiting", then tell him to visit his family and friends in the real world and..." Rina stopped for a second.
"...Is that it?" Rukia asked hoping she would remember the whole list.
"...That idiot Isshin!! Telling me to do something for him when he knows I have the crappiest memory in the world!!" Rina muttered angrily under her breath. "I'll tell you tomorrow, can't remember anything right now"
"Ok, and um, could you..."
"What?"
"Punch that post" Rukia pointed to the post to the right of Rina. She punched it and out fell..
