Hitting the hardened chest of a certain noble, Yuki staggered backward and fell onto the ground. She looked up and met Byakuya's gaze, it was stern and penetrating. Her eyes continued to roam around his body, his haori was neatly folded on the ground and glistening drops of water clung to his chest. It was obvious he had just gotten out of a shower and was changing, suddenly a realization hit her, if Yuki had come a minute late he would've been fully undressed! If there was where he changed,then this was Byakuya's room...
A timid "uh oh" brought Yuki out of her daydreams of the decorative possibilities of the spacious bedroom. Every member of the Shinigami Women's Association was frozen a few feet behind her, Nanao bravely walked toward the fallen shinigami and the half-dressed captain. The studious lieutenant gulped before saying,"Um... We're really sorry about barging in Kuchiki-taichou... ...", Kuchiki-taichou didn't answer but simply glared at them.
Yuki examined the man again before reaching for the poster of a half-dressed Byakuya, she compared it, inspecting the poster and the frustrated captain. Both were partially naked without the haori and scarf, the hair was down and both of them had drops of water dribbling down their torsos. "Hm... You guys do look similar, photoshop really does wonders." Byakuya saw the poster, his eyes widened in shock. "Where did you get this!" ,he hissed quietly. "Oh this? I made it? We're planning to sell it on the domestic market, going to make us a lot of big bucks. I was also thinking about a date auction..."
His eyes narrowed, staring icily at Yuki, the group of women behind the 2 scooted back a few feet. Kuchiki raised to meet their frightened gaze, his body language alone was enough to send them scurrying out of the manor and Rukia into her bedroom. Only Yuki and the unconscious Matsumoto were still there. "No need to be so angry, frowning so much will give you wrinkles, ya ' know." ,said Yuki who was still on the ground.
She raised her hand, revealing the palm. Byakuya made no motion to help her up, Yuki sighed, "You should also know a gentleman is supposed to help a lady up, especially when he was the one that stupidly got in her way and knocked her to the ground.", Byakuya simply replied icily, "A lady doesn't go barging into a gentleman's bedroom when he's changing!! "
Rolling her eyes, Yuki picked herself up and dusted her simple kimono. It was similar to the Shinigami's outfit except the color was a stunning midnight blue, the color contrasted well against her flawless pale skin, not that Byakuya would ever admit that. "Now, now... don't be so angry. I'll pay! And I do admit I'm sorry, if I had known you were changing and this was your bedroom I wouldn't have made that huge hole in the wall." ,grinned Yuki pointing to the huge jagged hole, it was quite big she thought. The diameter of the hole had to be at least 5 feet...
Yuki reached into her pocket, taking out a huge sack of money. Byakuya's eyes widened at the huge bulging sack it was, it had to be at least more than half a million yen! (a million yen is 100k) Yuki saw his slightly suprised look and explained the large sum of money, "Well you see. I kinda beat Shunsui in this drinking contest and won some bet, so I made a couple big bucks. And I'm paying for fixing the giant hole, it was my fault." She took Byakuya's hand and dropped a few coins, "This is about 30,000 yen. (300$) It should be enough right?" Byakuya shoved the money back into Yuki's hand, "A gentleman doesn't let a woman pay.", he said. Yuki squinted at him, "So now you choose to be a gentleman? What happened to helping a lady up? And according to your logic I'm not a lady, so take the money!" ,she pushed the money back into his hand but he simply stuck it back into her sack of money. Yuki groaned, " You made me do this," she warned before shoving the money down his hakama, Byakuya flinched as the money jingled down his pants.
Yuki smirked at his shocked expression, she walked toward Matsumoto's unconscious body. Lifting the snoring woman over her shoulder, she grinned at Byakuya and quickly shunpoed out of the Kuchiki manor.

When she arrived outside, Yuki was tackled by Nanao and Soifon. They pinned her to the ground and Matsumoto fell onto the grass. Yuki squinted, her eyes wincing, the sun shined directly into her eyes. "Yuki... Do you or do you not like Ukitake-taichou?" ,Nanao asked. Yuki blinked in shock, "I'm quite suprised by your frankness, but you don't have a need to know." ,she pushed the two off of her and walked toward the still Rangiku.
They tackled her again, "We have a right to know! As Vice-President of the Shinigami Women's Association! I have to follow our policy for pushing for various means of improvement for all shinigami, especially women!! Love life counts too!", Nanao declared. "Wow... I have to admit, you do take your job seriously. But my love life I consider personal... thank you for caring about me, as a Vice president... and a friend." ,smiled Yuki.
In a flash she was gone, and so was the once unconscious figure of Matsumoto. Soifon and Nanao gritted their teeth, no matter what Yuki said, they were going to make Jushiro fall in love with her. It was the duty of a member in the Shinigami Women's Association.

-Night
The members of the Shinigami Women's Association once again gathered under the shelter of night in the Kuchiki Manor. (Excluding Yuki...) "I really think Yuki-chan likes Ukitake-taichou..." ,whispered Kiyone. "Me too!",agreed Rukia and Isane. Matsumoto nodded, deep in thought, "They even kissed, it was an accident sort of thing. So they were going to talk about it over dinner, but something came up." Everyone urged Matsumoto to explain, she quickly told them about the sake incident and Unohana-taichou and the date.
"It was our fault, we set the date up and everything!" Isane and Kiyone whined. "We have to get them together!" ,squealed Yachiru, "I really like Yuki-chan!! She made so many cool pictures of Ken-chan!!" Nanao nodded, "Jushiro did confide in me earlier that he kind of liked Yuki, not anything serious though." Matsumoto furrowed her brow, "Hmm... I remember Yuki saying something about a date auction. How about we do that! So people pay money to have dates with us! It'll increase our funds and it'll give Jushiro-taichou a chance to have a date with Yuki!" Everyone else nodded in agreement, "But wouldn't it be awkward if the only person being auctioned is Yuki. That means all of us have to be auctioned too."
"Well then, not ALL of us have to be auctioned. Just some of us! How about Kiyone, Rukia, Rangiku be auctioned along with Yuki!" ,asked Nanao. "WHAT!! Why me!" ,asked Rukia. "Renji will probably bet on you, if anyone else enters and no one bets on them, its going to be AWKWARD!" ,explained Nanao. "Kyoraku-taichou will definitely bet on you, Nanao!",said Soifon. Rukia vigorously nodded her head in agreement, Nanao sighed, looked like she was going to be in the auction too.
"Do you think Unohana-taichou will be angry if we don't include her?" ,Isane asked. Nanao thought about it, Unohana-taichou probably wouldn't mind but they shouldn't take any chances. "We shouldn't take any chances of offending her by not including her, Isane, ask her later. Tomorrow we'll have another meeting in the afternoon, you can tell us whether she'll attend or not."
"Fine then, we'll plan the auction 1 month from now. I'll tell Yamamoto-soutaichou about the auction, he'll tell the captains and the captains will tell everyone else. We'll also have to put up some flyers!", planned Nemu. "I'll bring plenty of sweets!" ,cheered Yachiru. The pink haired lieutenant started drooling at all the candies and treats she would bring and eat at the auction.
"What will the ones being auctioned wear?" ,asked Kiyone. "A nice kimono, I suppose." ,answered Rukia. "I don't think Yuki owns any kiminoes." ,said Isane. "Then we'll have to buy her one!", commented Rukia. "Everyone go to Rukongai and look for some pretty kiminos, buy a sample fabric, we'll gather tomorrow afternoon, decide on which fabric, and then all go together to buy one."
"Okay! So, just to make sure, we all agreed to continue with this auction?" ,asked Nanao. "AGREED!!

-Next Morning
Yuki yawned and rolled over, her back was sore from sleeping on the floor for an entire night. "Matsumoto..." Yuki propped herself, the bed that Rangiku had been sleeping in was neatly folded with no wrinkles or creases, no indications at all of ever being slept in. She slowly crawled to the bathroom and swung the door shut.
Taking a towel from the rack, she slid open the shower door and stepped in. Turning the knob, she revered in the feeling of the hot water pounding into her back, washing away all worries. Yuki slowly massaged her neck, the tension had built up slowly over the days. She opened the glass door again and dried herself off with the towel.
Yuki cautiously opened the door, making sure the area was empty and quickly ran over to the closet. She quickly put on one of Matsumoto's spare shinigami outfit and gathered her own into a pile. Flash-stepping out the door, she shunpoed to her house to drop off the dirty set of clothes before setting off for Jushiro's place.
When she reached the small estate, she nervously walked toward Jushiro's room. What would she say to Jushiro? She had just ran out on him, he must be expecting an explanation. What could she say, there was nothing that could explain her behavior. She twiddled her fingers as she reached his room. This is it! Nervously, she opened the door. She looked up cautiously, readying herself to meet the gaze of a certain captain... however there was no one there, it was empty.
Entering the room, she asked softly, "Jushiro, are you there?". There was no reply. She backed out the room before bumping into a pair of third seats. "Kiyone! Sentaro! Where's Jushiro?" ,asked Yuki. "He went to a captain's meeting, said he will be back in half an hour!" ,shouted Sentaro. "No! He said he'll be back in 45 minutes! Get it right, you dummy!" ,yelled Kiyone. "He said HALF AN HOUR!! And who's the dummy! YOU ARE!!",he retorted.
Yuki's temper grew along with the voices, she sighed frustatedly before taking out her zanpaktou, "KILL! Amida!", it immediately transformed into a scythe. Both 3rd seats paused, their eyes widened as they saw the angry glint in her eyes. "If you guys don't SHUT UP! Someone is going to die! Or some PEOPLE!" ,she snapped at them before walking back toward Matsumoto's place. I'll just talk to him later.

-Captain's Meeting
"Now, hollow attacks have decreased and things are looking up. We do not yet know what Aizen is up to, he has not done anything with the Hogyoku yet but we must always be on guard. (Remember 1 year in between the Soul Society Arc and the Arrancar Arc.)" ,said General Commander Yamamoto. "Also, the Shinigami Women's Association are planning a date auction. It'll be on the 2nd Saturday of next month. People will auction on members of the Shinigami Women's Association, the winner of each auction will win a date with the woman."
Kenpachi interrupted, "So only people in the Shinigami Women's Association will be participating? Man, that sucks, there's no one worth dating there. (Yachiru is too young)" Byakuya flashed Kenpachi a stern look, what did he mean no one was worth dating, Rukia was the exact replica of Hisana, did he mean Hisana was not pretty enough?!?! "Kenpachi-kun, not everyone will be participating, Kuchiki Rukia, Ise Nanao, Kotestu Kiyone, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Hoshizaki Yuki will be enter the auction." ,said the old man.
The 11th captain grinned, "Hmm... Looks like it might not suck that much after all. That Hoshizaki Yuki is hot, not to mention strong. If I win the auction, we'll have a duel. She probably would look good glistening in sweat ... and blood." Jushiro clenched his fists, that was his Yuki he was talking about. Wait... his Yuki. He had already gotten used to saying that and thinking that. Why would he say that... it was all so confusing. His Yuki, Yuki loving him, Yuki running out on him, he had never dealt with this stuff before. Yuki wouldn't really participate in this auction, would she? Sogyo no Kotowari had said that she loved him, but why would Yuki enter the auction? Did she expect him to bet on her? Everything was so complicated.
"You will all be required to attend, make an effort to dress nicely. The captains will be a role model to the others. We need to support the Shinigami Women's Association, it is part of our duty as a shinigami. Do not forget. Meeting dismissed!"
