Hello, Sammy Jo here. Jennifer and I are here to write out this next chapter. Don't worry! Rukia141 already had an outline on what it was she wanted in this chapter, and Animekisses is going to take part here in an interview about the couples she chose. So Animekisses, I hope you like this, also, a few words from Jennifer.

Hey, this is Jennifer. To the people who like my character in the story, thanks I guess. Listen, and listen well, you guys. I don't give a flying eff if I'm too mean to some characters, frankly, I really don't care about them. There's only two characters I like in all of the Bleach series, so yeah, I'm going to be a real *beep* to most characters. Momo especially, God I hate Momo, she's everything I hate in a character. Freaking Momo…well, I'm going to stop now, because my sister hates character bashing so…If any of you guys have a character you dislike, tell me, join me, and we'll make their life a living hell. Just tell me the name of the character; hope Rukia141 let's me get away with what I just suggested. So yeah, later I guess.

Okay, that was Jennifer guys. Oh, if you're wondering about Rukia141, she's resting in her room, watching Spongebob and eating chocolate pudding, freaking lucky, I say. She's doing better, and she sends her thanks to the people who took their time to review. Well, here goes. This chapter is for Animekisses, we hope you like it.

Whoops! Almost forgot, Rukia141 wants to give a shout out to a certain reviewer. To Lucas Bane, Rukia141 wants to tell you something.

"Welcome to the Bleach family, Lucas Bane! I hope you fall in love with it like how I fell in love with Byakuya and his sexiness! Hurrah! Hurrah I say! :D"

There you go…

UkitShun / ShunNan

Orihime let out a small groan as she slowly lifted her hand to her throbbing head. What happened to her? The last thing she remembered was being taken by surprise by darkness. She opened her eyes and stared at the wall before turning her head to the side. Her breathing nearly stopped, and her heart shot towards her throat.

Ulquiorra sat silently near the couch, staring at nothing in particular. His emerald colored eyes flickered in her direction and she felt her body stiffen. Why was she here? Did he help her?

Feeling nervous, she whispered to him. "W-What happened…?"

"You were attacked from behind, girl. You had your guard down." He replied, standing up and reaching over her. Orihime watched as he picked up a bag of ice.

"Is that-?"

"For your head." He told her.

"Thank you." She took it and gently placed the bag on her head. She wished he wouldn't have found her like that, unconscious and helpless.

"Rukia141's sibling, she was the one who attacked you. It seems that she's involved with Grimmjow, somehow." Ulquiorra told her, folding his arms and looking down at her. Orihime awkwardly sat up and stared at him, wide eyed.

"Jennifer? Why?" She asked.

"She doesn't appear to have anything against you, you were just in her way." He told her. Orihime was even more confused. Jennifer attacked her, then that mean she was probably the one who did that cruel thing to Momo Hinamori.

"Ulquiorra, we have to warn the others!" Orihime cried.

"I don't think so." He told her.

"Huh? But why not?" She asked.

"There's no proof, it would be her word against ours. She would target you again if she found out that you were accusing her, as guilty as she may be. You wouldn't be able to protect yourself, girl." He replied. Orihime grew slightly annoyed at the way he dismissed her so easily.

"Don't say that I'm weak! I can protect myself, too! S-Stop saying I can't look after myself, I'm not a little girl!" She suddenly cried. Orihime immediately covered her mouth with her hands, horrified by her outburst. Ulquiorra stared at her with emotionless eyes before approaching her.

"Very well, woman. For now, I suggest you keep this quiet; I want to see if there's more to this Jennifer than meets the eye." He said, turning away from her. Orihime didn't argue this time.

"Okay…Ulquiorra?" She called.

He gazed at her.

"Thanks." She beamed. He didn't take his eyes off her, and Orihime felt a shiver run up her spine.

Grimmjow smirked as Jennifer glared at him. His eyes skimmed her faced, then lowered down to her arms, and finally her legs. "What the hell happened to you?"

"My sister and I were in some sort of accident. Sammy Jo and I are in charge for now. Well, Sammy Jo is, I'm not all that interested. No more questions about my physical state, Catnip." She said, folding her arms.

"Well, what now? Anything new today?" Grimmjow asked.

Jennifer shrugged. "Not really, the only thing going today is that interview with this Animekisses girl."

"Damn, and I was looking for some fun." He said.

That's when Jennifer spotted Sammy Jo walking with a girl. "That must be the girl that's going to be doing the interview today." Jennifer said. The girl was slurping on a smoothie, and she was curiously looking around. Her eyes landed on Jennifer, and they immediately misted over with hate.

"Well, this is going to be good." Grimmjow grinned. As they approached, Sammy Jo called out to Jennifer.

"Hey, this is Animekisses, she's here for her interview. I was just going to ask her which one of us she wanted to join-" Sammy Jo stopped when Animekisses suddenly tossed the contents of her smoothie right at Jennifer's front and face. Sammy Jo went pale with horror.

"That's for Momo." Animekisses hissed. Grimmjow howled with laughter as Jennifer wiped her face clean in absolute fury.

"You little bi-!" She cried but Grimmjow covered her mouth, still chuckling at the incident.

"That's not very nice, Jennifer." He teased. Jennifer glared at Animekisses as she tried to lunge for her. Sammy Jo immediately took action.

"Oh, boy, Animekisses, why don't you go ahead and get ready for the interview, I'll join you in a moment." Sammy Jo said, slightly pushing Animekisses away.

"Okay, bye, Jennifer! It was so nice to meet you!" She giggled, waving. Jennifer glared daggers at her before shoving Grimmjow off of her.

"What the hell did you hold me back for, you idiot!"

"Relax, isn't this what we were looking for; our chance at some fun?" He asked. Chest heaving, Jennifer whirled around to face Sammy Jo.

"That clipboard, hand it over." She said in a dangerously low voice. Sammy Jo looked wary.

"Why?"

"I'm just want to know who that little wench is interviewing. Hand it over!" She cried, snatching the clipboard away from Sammy Jo. Jennifer glanced at the clipboard and smirked. "Jushiro Ukitake, lovely."

"Ukitake, sir. You are wanted on stage now." A crewman said. Ukitake smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, I will be there shortly." He said.

"That won't be necessary." A voice called out. Ukitake and the crewman looked over to see Jennifer coming towards them. She glared at the crewman. "You can leave now." Trembling, the man left.

"Is there something wrong?" Ukitake asked. Jennifer's face brightened.

"Oh, no, sir. It's just that there have been some arrangements, and it turns out that you won't be needed anymore. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience." She told him, looking troubled. Ukitake blinked in mild surprise.

"Is that so? Oh, well, no worries. Some things can't be helped, I'm sure. Thank you for telling me, Miss Rukia141?" He asked.

"No, it's Jennifer, her sister. Rukia141 isn't feeling well, so I'm in charge here until she comes back. She sends her apologies." Jennifer smiled slightly.

"Again, no trouble at all. I think I should be heading back to the Soul Society if I'm no longer needed. Thank you again, Miss Jennifer." He said.

"You're very welcome! Hopefully in the near future you will be able to join us again!" She waved, before sprinting off back from where she came from. Ukitake watched her leave, and with a sigh, he turned to exit the studio.

Animekisses skipped towards the stage and froze when she saw Toshiro, Momo, Karin, and Nanao conversing near the stage entrance. Animekisses jumped with absolute joy and dashed towards the group.

Nanao sighed. "Captain Kyoraku is no where to be found. I searched everywhere for him, and we're due for the interview in a few minutes."

Momo tried to lighten the mood. "Don't worry, Nanao, I'm sure Captain Kyoraku will show up real soon-!" She was surprisingly tackled by someone.

"Momo! This is so awesome! I love you, I love you, I love, I love you! You are my favorite girl character! Hurray for Momo!" Animekisses cried happily. Momo blinked in confusion. Animekisses glared at the others. "I said hurray for Momo!"

"Hurray?" Karin said.

"So you must be-" Toshiro was interrupted by Animekisses tackling him as well.

"Toshiro! You're here too! This is so cool! Finally it's my turn to glomp Shiro-chan!" She snuggled closer into him.

"Not this again…" He sighed. Karin stifled a laugh.

"Don't worry, Nanao, you shall be hugged also!" Animekisses cried as she flung her arms around Nanao. The abrupt contact made her glasses go askew.

"Yes, well, thank you." She said, trying to wiggle away.

"Best day of my life! But, where's Jushiro?" Animekisses asked, looking around, but he was no where to be seen.

Toshiro sighed. "He's not here, nor Captain Kyoraku."

"Like I said, I'm sure they'll be here soon. They're probably trying to be casually late." Momo offered. Animekisses squealed as she clung to Momo.

"Oh, Momo! I can't believe you're here. You're the best! :3"

"Thank you, heh, heh, I've never had a fan before." She smiled.

"You have many fans! :D"

The stage doors opened, and both security guards stepped out, chests out. "We have been told that you can enter the stage now, everything is ready for the interview." Security guard number on said. Animekisses giggled as she poked his belly.

"Look at you guys trying to act all serious! Stop it, it doesn't suit you! Hugs! Give me hugs!" She clings onto the security guards.

"H-Hey! Stop! We are trying to be on duty!" Security guard number two cried in indignation.

"Never!" She cried.

A crewman timidly approached them. "Er…sorry, but, it's about Ukitake. He seems to have gone missing."

"Missing? What do you mean missing?" Nanao asked.

"Oh, you know. Gone, he left. He should already be back in the Soul Society" Jennifer called in passing. She caught Animekisses' eye and smirked. "Got you back." She said, walking away.

Animekisses glared at her retreating figure. "I hate her…" She then looked downcast. "I really wanted to see Jushiro Ukitake…"

Ukitake waited as the doors leading to the Soul Society appeared. He gave a small cough and straightened as a hell butterfly fluttered out of the opening. He was about to step in when someone called out to him.

"Hey! Where are you off to?"

He curiously turned towards the approaching figure.

"Sorry, Animekisses, but the interview must go on." Sammy Jo said.

"But two of the people I wanted to interview are not here! I can't interview Nanao alone!" Animekisses cried.

"We can't do much of anything, Ukitake isn't here, and who knows about Captain Kyo-"

"Nanao-chan! Nanao-chan! I'm here! Sorry for being late. I took a nap on the roof and lost track of time-!" Nanao threw the small fan she had hiding underneath her sleeve at Kyoraku's face.

"We're about to go on, and the reason you're late is because you were being lazy! Captain Kyoraku, I'm going to-!" She stopped herself and instead clenched her fist in anger.

"I apologize," Someone said. They all turned and saw Ukitake smile at them. He raised his hand in greeting when something whooshed and appeared before him before he could even blink.

"Jushiro Ukitake! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!" Animekisses screamed, jumping him and catching him by surprise. She clung on to him happily.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Hello, are you, by any chance, Animekisses?" He asked, patting her head.

"Yes! How do you know? Also, I thought you had left, why did you come back?" She cried.

"Because I told him to come back, silly! :D I saw him and called out to him! Animekisses!" A girl cried as she jumped Animekisses.

"Rukia141?" Animekisses asked in surprise.

"Well duh! :D I couldn't stay in bed and let you have all the fun! Sammy Jo! Thanks! I'll take it from here! Hurray for Ukitake! Group hug!" She squeezed Ukitake and Animekisses together closer.

"What are you doing out of bed!" Sammy Jo cried. Rukia141 looked down at her braced leg.

"It's all right! Don't have a cow! What are we standing around here for? On with the interview!" Rukia141 shouted as she hopped on one leg towards the stage.

"Hold it! Where are your crutches?" Sammy Jo asked.

Again Rukia141 looked down at her leg. "Ah…"

"Rukia141!" Sammy Jo screamed.

"Hurray for the interview! :D" Rukia141 cried.

"Hurray! :D"

Interview

Rukia141 hops on stage and waves to the crowd. They go crazy.

Rukia141: I'm so glad you guys are here, with me! Bless your face! To all of you who were worried about my health, thank you! I love you all! Now, please welcome Animekisses!

Animekisses waves.

Animekisses: Finally! Hurray! I'm glad to be here! I'm so happy you were able to make it, Rukia141!

Rukia141: I hope nothing bad happened during my absence!

Animekisses: Well, your sister was being mean.

Rukia141: Jennifer is always mean, don't take it too personally.

Animekisses: I sort of made it personal…

Rukia141: Hurrah for personality! :D

Animekisses: Er…Do you want me to-?

Rukia141: YES!

Animekisses: Okay! :) Please welcome Shunsui Kyoraku, Nanao Ise, and my future husband, Jushiro Ukitake! :3

They cheered as the captains and the lieutenant emerged from behind the curtains.

Kyoraku: Well, this is a new experience, eh, Jushiro?

Ukitake: A bit much, I agree, but a nice experience all the same. He chuckled.

Nanao: I don't think I'll be able to get used to something like this.

Kyoraku: Come under my wing, Nanao, and I shall shield you!

Nanao: No thanks…

Animekisses: I can literally die happy!

Rukia141: Now you know how I feel in the presence of Byakuya freaking sexy Kuchiki! BYAKUYA, I LOVE YOU! MARRY ME! WHOOO! WHOOO! WHOOO!

Somewhere backstage.

Gin: She's extra crazy today, isn't she?

Byakuya: …

Gin: You should probably court her! xD

Byakuya: Scatter, Senbonzakura…

Gin: I kid! I kid!

Animekisses: Now, the three of you are here because you guys are paired up by fans to be in romantic relationships! First and foremost, I want to ask you, Jushiro-chan and Kyoraku, how do you feel about being paired up?

The two captains stared at her.

Ukitake: Come again?

Animekisses: Horrifying, I know, but I had to do this, trust me. So, what do you think?

That's when Kyoraku burst into laughter.

Kyoraku: Jushiro and I? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! No, no, no, no. Listen here, Jushiro is more like my best friend, brothers almost; isn't that right, Jushiro? He clapped his old friend on the back.

Ukitake: He's right, tell me, are these fans confused?

Animekisses: Demented…Thank you! So you agree that it's too insane, right! She shudders. Ukitake and Kyoraku, ew!

Rukia141: Eyuuuuuieeee! xD Awww! That reminds me of my dear Gin! Gin, you sexy rebound you!

Backstage

Gin: Uh-oh…

Animekisses: So, not romance whatsoever?

Kyoraku: Of course not! Now, Nanao on the other hand-

Nanao shoved the book she was carrying in his face.

Nanao: I'm sorry Captain Kyoraku, did you say something?

Kyoraku: Mmmffffmmmffpppfffhheee!

Nanao: Sorry, let's leave it for later.

Rukia141: To be completely honest with you, I can't see Ukitake with anyone else in Bleach. I feel like he would be better with an OC. My opinion! I'm not saying it's the best, but Ukitake deserves only the best! Like Byakuya and Hisana! Hisana, you're the only one worthy of my Byakuya! The Queen of Sakuras! :D

Ukitake: Ah…with my health, I don't want to burden anyone with my love.

Animekisses: Don't say that!

Rukia141: No! Jushiro-chan! I'm sure your love will be amazing! Love Animekisses!

Animekisses: Yes! Love me!

Ukitake: I appreciate your concern. He laughed lightly. But I won't be falling in love anytime soon.

The crowd: Awwwww!

Animekisses: Oh well! Anyways, to Nanao! I bet you already have a vague idea on what I'm going to ask you. :3

Nanao: Out with it, I'm ready.

Animekisses: People love you with Kyoraku! I love you with Kyoraku! Rukia141 loves you with Kyoraku!

Rukia141: I've never really read about the two of you together! But hell! I'll give it a try!

Nanao: Absolutely not! Let's act serious here. A lieutenant and her captain? Highly illogical, and not to mention utter idiocy.

Kyoraku: Nanao! Don't be like that! My little Nanao, don't shun me away! He took her hands and Nanao pushed him away, sending him flying from his chair.

Nanao: Like I said, utter idiocy.

In the distance, security guard number one stares at his partner as he puts on music.

Security guard number one: What are you up to this time?

Security guard number two: I'm going to practice my dance moves for the Halloween special! It's almost time for it!

He puts on music.

Security guard number one: Please don't dance, we all know that your dance moves…

Security guard number two begins to do The Sprinkler.

Security guard number one: Are atrocious…

Security guard number two: Oh yeah! That's my jam! Come on man!

Security guard number one: I'll cut off my own legs first…-_-'

Animekisses: Oh, come on, Nanao! Don't you see any potential romance?

Nanao: No.

Animekisses: Why not? Dx

Nanao: You're seriously asking me that question? She looked down at Kyoraku. He was already making himself comfortable on the floor. Seriously?

Rukia141: I love Jushiro! I now realize that! You are so awesome! :D

Animekisses: Hurray!

Ukitake: You are too kind, thank you.

Rukia141: I think he needs another hug!

Animekisses: Hug time!

They hug Ukitake.

Kyoraku: No fair, Jushiro, you're already getting all the girls!

Ukitake: Honestly, I'm not doing anything.

Animekisses: It's because you're a gentleman!

Rukia141: Yeah! There's nothing like a gentleman! I like those kinds of guys! Those, and the ones who just don't give a damn! :D The cold ones need lovin' too! Byakuya! I love you!

They cling to him.

Animekisses: Oh! Kyoraku, what do you think about being with Nanao?

Kyoraku: Now that's a pairing, I gladly look forward to.

Nanao: Oh, please…

Kyoraku: You don't believe me?

Nanao: You're nothing but a drunken fake.

Kyoraku: Nanao! That's so cold!

Nanao: Good, get used to the idea.

Kyoraku: TT_TT

Ukitake: Yes, well, as much as I enjoy your company; can I get some air?

Animekisses and Rukia141 release him immediately.

Animekisses: Oops! Sorry Jushiro-chan!

Rukia141: I'm not!

Animekisses: Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not either!

Rukia141: Sorry, but I think that's all for today! Animekisses, I hope you enjoyed yourself!

Animekisses: I did! Thank you so much! I love you Jushiro-chan!

Ukitake: Again, thank you. He smiled.

Rukia141: Well, to MJLCoyoteStarrk! Next time it shall be your turn! So get ready! :D I want to again, thank all of you who bid me well on my health! It means a lot! I love you guys, and until next time!

Animekisses: Jushiro-chan, is it okay if I can take a walk with you before I leave?

Ukitake: Of course you may.

Animekisses: Hurray! :D

Rukia141: Hurray for Ukitake!

Ichigo was walking with Rukia toward the lounge, but he heard something that distracted him. It was a girl giggling, and when he turned around, there would be no one. He would hear the running of footsteps, and a laugh he swore he heard before.

"Ichigo, are you listening?" Rukia asked.

"Huh? Oh, no, sorry. I think I'm hearing things." He replied, looking behind him once more.

"What things?"

"I hear a girl. She laughing and running, but when I turn to see where the noise is coming from, there's no one there." He explained. Rukia frowned.

"I don't hear-"

There was another laugh, loud and clear. Rukia stiffened.

"Did you hear it that time?" Ichigo asked, looking around, becoming slightly paranoid.

"Yes, I heard her." She replied. That's when her eyes widened.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked. She didn't say anything as she gazed at the floor. Ichigo followed her gaze and turned around to see what she was staring at. His breath caught in his throat as he slowly bent forward to pick the object that suddenly appeared out of no where. Rukia blinked in confusion as Ichigo held it up to the light, his heart pounding.

The red ribbon shimmered brightly in the light as if teasing him.

Another laugh broke the silence.

Hurray! Another one done! Thanks for worrying about me! It means a lot! Well, I popped in and took over the story about halfway through. I demanded my sister to bring my laptop because I was getting bored, and I really wanted to continue! So Ta-Da! Ha, if you guys know who the red ribbon belongs to, cookie for you! :D Things are going to get interesting between IchiRuki! I'm so mean! Tee hee! But you love me!
