Few Days later...

"Rukia sama...Would you like the light green one or the blue one?"

Rukia face palms as she rubs her face, "Mayuri Kurotsuchi's hosting his Autumn Ball tomorrow... Do you know how many girls will be there?"

"But he's looking for you Rukia sama..."

Rukia chuckles as she gets off her bed, "No, he's looking for you Shirayuki..."

Shirayukis smiles, "Did Kurosaki made his de-"

"What are you going to wear Shirayuki?"

"Alright... We're here..." Rukia pulls up infront of Kurotsuchi's mansion as she gets out of the car and opens the door for Shirayuki and Renji, "Remember the plan... If you guys feel like you're in trouble, just push that button I gave you guys and I swear, I'll be the first one there... Understood?"

Rukia looks at both Shirayuki and Renji and blushes, "You guys looks amazing tonight! Maybe we should host a Ball o our-" Rukia face palms laughing, "I'm getting too soft..."

Shirayuki chuckles as she loops her arm with Renji's, "Where's kurosa-"

"Hurry up and go!" Rukia nudges Shirayuki and Renji, "I'll be following behind you... If anyone asks I'm here to drive you back home..."


-Runaways-

"Oh my, really?" Shirayuki covers her mouth giggling all while looking around for Kurotsuchi, "Renji kun," Shirayuki nudges him, "Have you seen Rukia sama?"

"No, I haven't, she's probably looking around for Kurotsuchi right now..."

Shirayuki sighs, "Why does Rukia sama do this to herself?"

"She wants to prove to Byakuya she can hold her own."

"Eh?" Shirayuki tilts her head, "Whats do you mean?"

Renji lets out a huff, "You've noticed how Rukia always tells herself she's getting soft?"

Shirayukis nods.

"When she's saying she's getting too soft it means she thinks she's losing touch with her Yakuza demeanor."

Hmm... where is that Kurotsuchi bastard?

Rukia leans against the wall as she looks around the ball room filled with lively colors and beautiful music. Though Rukia isn't there to enjoy her time..

No, she's there to "visit" Kurotsuchi.

"May I have this dance?"

"Eh?" Rukia looks up and sees a red haired man smiling at her, "You are?"

"I'm sorry, but my name is Ashido Kano," Ashido takes Rukia's hand and plants a firm kiss, "I didn't get your name..."

Heh, he's trying to be smooth huh? Well, two can play that game...

"It's Shirayuki..." Rukia's eyes glistens as she flutters her eyelashes, "It's a pleasure to meet you Kano-"

"Please, call me Ashido..."

Pft, call you Ashido?

Rukia giggles, "Okay Ashido.."

Ashido grins, "Why is such a young beauty like yourself standing here all alone?"

Rukia sexily cooed, "I'm here waiting for someone..."

"Really?" Ashido chuckles as he whispers, "Well, you can at least spare me a dance..."

Rukia shrugs, It could give me a better vantage point of Kurotsuchi...

Rukia sports a sexy smile as she coos, "Sure.." and off they went.

"Shirayuki, is this your first time dancing?"

"Why of cour-course..."

Rukia felt Ashido slightly her waist as his hand drifted slightly lower.

Ashido. Your head is on a pike once this is over...

"Just follow my lead..."

Rukia smiles as Ashido's hands lead Rukia's hips.

Oh my... Whose that girl dancing with Ashido kun?

She's so lucky to be dancing with him...

Hmph, she's not so pretty...

"It seems like I attracted some jealousy towards you... My apologies.."

Rukia giggles, "It's okay Ashido..."

You're a dead man! Dead man I say!

"Hmm.." Ashigo studies Rukia, "Would you like to meet the man of the evening?"

"Huh?" Rukia looks up at him as her eyes glistens.

Ashido is smitten.

"What do you mean man of the evening?"

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi. The man that's behind this lovely event..."

"Oh?" Rukia sports a mischievous smile, "You know him?"

"Of course... Unless..." Ashido brushes his hand on Rukia's cheek, "You rather spend time with me..."

Rukia giggles, "I'm sorry Ashido... But I have business to talk about with Kurotsuchi sama..."

Touch me again and I'll break that hand.

Ashido lets out a sigh, "Very well... follow me..."

Ashido holds Rukia's hand as he leads her to the back rooms.

Though when Rukia walks with Ashido, she noticed someone following her, hidden in the shadows.
