This is supposed to be funny. I hope I get to crack you up a bit, since I'm not exactly a comedian… But as you've probably noticed already, I always try to add some humorous touch. I'd like to know your reviews about my humor to know if it's worth to keep it up the same, please, if possible. Just an explanation: I tried to write with Byakuya's POV. I really am a fan of Kenpachi Zaraki. I think he rules. But to make that even clearer, the words that were the ones he used were placed between quotation commas… OK? And in case there are any doubts, I do like Renji. It's just that it's so freaking fun to make him suffer. :D

Partying for the Night

The night had fallen, and even though one would think they had no reason to be tired, for they were at the mansion all day and did nothing but watch the sky, they did feel tired. Oh, come on! They kissed too! And I've heard passion consumes your being; that must include energy. Therefore, they both knew they had to go to their respective rooms and rest but it was hard. It must have been almost midnight and what they were doing was a relatively simple activity, yet they felt as if their whole day had been stripped out of its time and the time was thrown right out the window. They wanted to spend the whole night together and, if they could have, they would've waited for sunrise…But they just couldn't.

The Kuchiki elders were like spies for every woman that ever visited their mansion and, that day, Byakuya had given them the more reason to spy on her… They couldn't detect those bored cockroaches, but he knew, deep inside, he was being watched.

Yes, he was changing, and he didn't care, yet… That stoic side of Byakuya was truly persistent. He insisted on being correct, on acting like they had raised him. So he was a true gentleman, for her misfortune, that pushed his own 'selfish' desires aside. So he stood up and said, against his mind's will:

-Well, it's getting late.

Kisa was afraid he'd say that. She didn't want it to end, their perfect day… She just nodded and replied, to her own dismay:

-Right. - Her voice sounded disappointed.

He then, chivalrously as ever, extended his arm to help her up. By that time, she could already move her limbs. She took his hand and, with his help and her using her left knee as a support for her arm to lift her, she stood up and their faces once again were close. Their gazes were glued to each other. They were having a sincerely hard time saying goodbye to their contrasting colors of deep grey and dark brown.

She admired his fair hair looking nice with his smile stealing her heart and reason and also his fine nose. And those eyes were really beautiful; they reminded her of the sea. His attractive features looked as if they were carved on marble and he moonlight above him made her see him even more handsome and charming as a prince.

Meanwhile, he admired her rosy cheeks, the cute pimples on her face as she wore the smile he'd never grow weary of, as well as her small ears and also her pink, thick lips, chapped and dried yet so lively and expressive. The moonlight on her skin gave it a creamy look. Her eyes gained twinkles that would remind him of the stars on almost black eyes. They were dark, yet they never lost their shine or their life.

Their legs were also battling their wish to not move and stay like that forever as their minds were commanding them to do otherwise.

After minutes, their minds took control. She flushed and he looked away, both from their shame on themselves for acting so cheesy… They somehow were starting to feel awkwardly silly, yet their hearts thumped fast from their pressing feelings. Still, the battle was officially over and victory belonged to their minds as they turned and entered to their rooms, slowly walking and never taking their eyes off one another. Both doors slid at the same time and closed at the same instant, slowly, as if they were saying an eternal farewell.

They could barely sleep. They were tired yet too excited to sleep. It was like reality didn't exist and they were dreaming awake. If that really was the case, then they definitely didn't want to wake up…

There she lied, still contemplating the sky above her by the crystal ceiling. She sure loved to go to bed and gaze at the stars and wake up and admire the dawnbreak clearing, opening a path for the morning to come.

She fell asleep. He on the other hand was also happy, but still awake… He just couldn't stop thinking about her. He then yawned as his restlessness caught up with him and his eyes slowly started to close. But his eyelids never made contact with his eyelashes on the opposite edge of his eyes when he immediately jumped out of his futon and grabbed Senbonzakura, which lied on his side, and turned around as he placed his right thumb on the edge of the scabbard, threatening to the man he was now facing to unsheathe it.

-I believe you have done everything you wanted in this life, Abarai fukutaicho, for it seems like you're ready to die. – He expressed icily, yet, eerily menacing…

The poor red-haired guy's expression revealed Byakuya had scared the hell out of him, when it was supposed to be the other way around…

Damn his keen senses! – Renji thought, but he was busy shrieking so he didn't say it out loud.

-Sorry taicho, I really didn't want to do this but I had no choice! I lost on paper-scissors-rock!

Byakuya's stoic expression was back, and yet he slightly raised his right eyebrow in a quick instant, barely perceivable.

-Fukutaicho, I am not going to waste time of my rest to listen to your nonsense. Get out of my room right now. – He said with his now creepy look.

Renji shrieked and secretly started to pray. He then turned and was about to give a step as he heard the last voice he would've ever wanted to hear at that instant.

-How pathetic! – A deep voice started. - Oh, but that wasn't unexpected… It's just as predicted. Abarai, you girly scaredycat!

-Ooh! Doodle face is a girly scaredycat! – A child's voice affirmed mockingly yet sweetly from Renji's former captain's shoulder.

A figure emerged from the shadows. Byakuya didn't even look. He knew from the beginning he was there and had recognized his 'unpleasant' reaitsu.

-You're not welcomed here either, Zaraki taicho. – Byakuya said with his serious, cold tone and his face looking obviously displeased.

-Like I care! – He guffawed, making Byakuya's nerves send massive shocks that released pure wrath, and then turned to Renji. – And you idiot, what are ya doing? You're da one who was supposed to bring 'im outside! You're da loser!

-Doodle face is a loser! – Yachiru said with her cute self, yet with her always mischievous intentions.

You damn brat! – Renji thought (again). Not like he would ever tell her that. Not only was Zaraki Kenpachi there, she alone was pretty aggressive and scary.

-What did you say was your business here, Zaraki taicho? – Byakuya asked trying to recapitulate what he had just heard. He was pretty mad yet was trying to keep his cool, emotionless expression.

-You deaf? – He replied. – He was supposed to kidnap ya. Now I think this's all freakin' stupid, but if there's free alcohol you can always count me in. – He said with his always tough and menacing look and yet ended that very same sentence with his grin.

-Yay! Free shots! – The not-so-young Yachiru exclaimed as she then turned her attention to Byakuya. – Nee, Byaku – Shii, we're not supposed to tell you, it's a surprise, so just get ready so we can drink.

Byakuya was about to look at them blankly like they were aliens (which he particularly didn't consider quite impossible) yet he only resigned to close his eyes and try to still look expressionless as his eyes reopened and turned to Renji with eyes firing flames of an ardent desire to slash his zanpakuto across his whole face, making Renji's skin produce goosebumps all over him.

He sure wanted to ask but he knew he'd just waste energy. It was not like he could expect a coherent answer from them. He wanted to kick them out but who was he kidding, he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep now that his perfect night had been ruined by those 3 'clowns', so he simply did as Yachiru suggested so he could get to the bottom of things.

As he thought the previous, Yachiru threw him a bunch of clothes, and that brought him back to reality, making a nerve on his forehead stand out.

-And also, you have to wear that. Big Boobies picked it out for you. – She 'explained'.

There was a drop on the side of his face and also a secret worry… Matsumoto fukutaicho is involved? This can't be good… - He started to think as Yachiru screamed and interrupted him. (Don't ask me how he knew who Yachiru meant…)

-Hurry up, Byaku-Shii! We want to drink already! – Yachiru hurried.

His nerves stood out as he sighed and felt too exhausted to discuss anymore with such an irrational hair-pinked creature. He decided he could just kill Renji or something in the morning or whenever it was that he would get to wake up after being able to go back to sleep.

Meanwhile, and at the same time, Kisa's sleep was also interrupted.

She was sleeping soundly, until 3 figures emerged from the dark corners and all gave silent steps to where her bed was.

She then woke up as she felt a palm over her mouth and nose and tried to yell but couldn't. But she immediately quit her struggling after she saw Matsumoto, Nemu and Kotetsu Kiyone standing by her bedside. Matsumoto had her right index finger before her lips, indicating her to not yell.

Kisa sat with her back against the headboard without putting aside her surprised face.

-Rangiku, Nemu, Kiyone?! What are you 3 doing here? – She said while calming down from being caught off her guard and rubbed her eyes.

-Don't worry, Kisa - Chan! – Rangiku told her, sounding pretty excited. - Just get dressed with these.

Matsumoto then threw her some clothes.

-What for? What's going on? – Kisa asked impatiently.

-Just play along, Kisa – Chan! - Kiyone said with glee.

-We're all gonna have a nice time! – Rangiku cheered.

Kisa sighed as she turned on the lights of the lamp on her bedside table and stood up. She headed to the closet and proceeded to get changed into the clothes Rangiku had given her.

Matsumoto gave her a denim mini skirt and a sexy red top with straps that tied at the nape. The cleavage didn't make her feel too comfortable. Her black top was low-cut as well, but this cleavage exposed part of her bra! She decided to put her jacket on to cover it. She was also given some stylish, pointy, high, black boots that went up all the way to her knees and were made of patent leather. That sure was going to call far more attention than the one she wanted. What troubled her the most was that they had high heels, and the very thin kind; to her, almost like needles. (We're talking about a Converse type of girl here…)

She got out of the closet and Rangiku was marveled to see her 'good taste' on Kisa… She thought she looked nice.

-Um… Rangiku? I don't think I can use these boots. I… I don't really know how to use heels.

-Don't worry about it! – Said a carefree, cheery Matsumoto. – All girls can walk with those with pure instinct.

-And may I ask where are we going and what will we do?

-It's a surprise. – Nemu finally spoke, with her timid personality.

Kisa sighed.

Then the two of them were taken by separate to a destination unknown to them.

Byakuya entered along with the other three into the portal that the shinigami could use to enter directly to the human world while Kisa was shunpoed to the front of the gate that non-shinigami used to get into Soul Society.

She was amazed as Kiyone held her hand so she wouldn't fall behind while they all ran.

Meanwhile, Byakuya and the others arrived at an alley on some commercial street of Karakura Town.

The moon was up in the clear skies and the weather was just fine. He could only feel even more curious with each step he gave while being guided by those three people, who he didn't trust at all. Their outfits made him feel even more curious about what exactly they were setting up.

He was wearing a black sports jacket, a midnight shirt with white thin stripes, black pants and black shoes. He wasn't wearing his kenseikan. His hair was just loose but fair. Kenpachi was wearing dark jeans, a plain white shirt, and a cream sports jacket with black camping boots. Renji wore chocolate brown pants and sports jacket, a black shirt, black shoes and sunglasses at the top of his red, loose hair, even though it was night. And Yachiru was wearing brown boots that reached half way to her knees, a white 'long' skirt, a cute brown blouse and a little pink jacket, as well as a hair clip on her right side of her hair.

-Yay! We're finally here! Let's go, Ken – Chan! – She said as cheerful as ever.

Then the others arrived to the human world, in Karakura Town. Kisa was pretty familiar with many places there. But she didn't recognize where she was right away. Nobody could blame her. They were at the 'basement' of Urahara's Candy Shop; not exactly a place she remembered ever being at before.

-Hello, girls. – He said as he closed the portal which they used to enter. – The others arrived some minutes ago. We can still catch up to them at the entrance of the place, since Tessai is driving.

-Thanks a lot, Urahara - San! – Matsumoto said with her always cheerful self.

-You're welcome, Matsumoto fukutaicho. – He said. - It's not everyday that our little stoic captain falls in love… - He then grinned and turned to Kisa, who was looking curiously at the blonde man she had in her front then. – Urahara Kisuke. Nice to finally meet you, Kisa – Chan, I've heard a lot about you. – He said as he leaned to her hand and kissed it, making her cheeks get colorful.

-Nice to meet you… - She said as she smiled, catching his attention.

So, that's her famous smile… Now I understand. Kuchiki Byakuya, you sure have grown to be a man with an interesting taste… - He thought with his never-dying curiosity.

We all know how shrewd Urahara is, right? It's not that surprising he could immediately understand that sort of things.

Kisa's inquisitiveness increased by the minute… Especially after she paid more attention to Urahara's and her kidnapper's outfits, now that she was wide awake.

He was wearing an olive green shirt, which made his eyes stand out. (That's right; she could see his eyes because he wasn't wearing his hat.) (WHAT?!) And he was wearing a white sports jacket and pants with black shoes. Matsumoto was wearing a sky blue blouse with plenty of sparkle in the fabric, like her eye color, with a cleavage that could make any guy get a bad case of nosebleed, a full black mini-skirt that miraculously did seem of a decent length, a black leather jacket and black, short boots that reached half way to her knees. Kiyone wore a knee length, strapless, navy blue dress, with a black jacket with elbow length sleeves over her dress, and classic, black, pointy shoes with a strap on her ankles. Nemu wore a violet blouse with bell shaped sleeves, white mini skirt and black, formal, high heeled sandals.

Byakuya had walked with the others for some minutes on that sidewalk, passing by plenty of restaurants, cafes, and night clubs. The streets had lights everywhere. He was getting impatient… Then he recognized some people at the street's corner. They were Hitsugaya, Izuru, Yoruichi, Unohana, Isane, Iba, Soi Fon, Kyoraku, Nanao, Hisagi, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Ukitake and Sentaro. They were all formal, making Byakuya's wondering almost at its limit.

-Finally! We've been waiting for half an hour! Now, let's hurry, it's only one block away. – Exclaimed a very eager Kyoraku, so tempted by all the pretty lights from the pretty establishments…

-Could somebody tell me what is going on?! – Demanded a Byakuya whose patience could no longer continue.

-We're going to a night club. – Replied Nanao, a bit irritated for having to put up with her captain for a while by then.

-It's a surprise. – Unohana said smiling.

Byakuya sighed. He could lose his patience but he could gain some very quickly, too.

They all started walking, no longer tolerating Kyoraku's childish attitude, like that of a child begging to get to the toy store.

They arrived at the entrance of a club where they affirmed they were going to get the drinks.

-Now we just have to wait for the rest. – Yachiru said eagerly, making Byakuya's brow raise.

There are even more people into this? – He thought as he started to consider the possibility of suffering a heart attack…If it wasn't for the fact that he was already dead.

-Rangiku better not take too long… - Nanao warned, as if she thought out loud.

Fortunately, they didn't take long. They arrived seconds after that, to everyone's relief, in a silver Audi Q7. The doors were opened as Urahara got off the passenger's seat in the front and one door from the back seats was opened as Kiyone, Nemu and Matsumoto got out and lastly, but most importantly, Kisa.

Her outfit was so different from her usual self, it left everybody staggered. Byakuya even gawked, along with the other guys, except Kenpachi. Byakuya thought it was too 'revealing' and felt thankful she was wearing her jacket. And was that vibrant red thing on her lips lipstick? (!)

-This is a party for the successful application of the CSSL Law # 739. – Confirmed Yoruichi as she spoke at Byakuya's ear. – After all, not only did she come back, she was allowed to stay with everyone. - She said as she smiled.

-She's very special, is she not? – Unohana asked smiling and somewhat proud of Kisa.

-She sure is something… - Kenpachi answered, making everyone, at least, raise an eyebrow. – What? She's not boring… - He then grinned. – She's actually a bit interesting… I hope she gets to tame whatever that lays inside her so I get to fight her…

-Kissy – Chan is cute and nice! – Said Yachiru with glee.

Kissy – Chan? – That thought crossed everyone's mind. It echoed on Byakuya's head the most; more than on Kisa's head… But no one said anything out loud. After all, they all knew Yachiru, as well as the fact that her nicknames only make sense to her logic. Probably not even Kenpachi could understand completely.

Kisa blushed.

-Gee, I don't know what to say… - She said with her grin as she smiled with her hands on her jacket's pockets. - Well, thanks a lot guys… I'm moved. - She said as she fought the tears on her eye corners… Everybody noticed to her dismay, but they thought that was cute… Except the ones from Division 11, with the exception of Yumichika. Both Ikkaku and Yumichika were watching her for the first time, which is why they didn't quite understand why they all said she looked 'different'.

And then she saw Byakuya, and her cheeks were even rosier.

-You look nice… - She said with her gaze on her side.

-You look… Different… - He resigned himself to say just that…

Kisa giggled. She agreed.

And so, they all entered and music played all over the place. If you were close to the band playing, your chest would thump along with the music. The lightning effects were beautiful and there was an open bar.

-Um… Rangiku? I'm under age… I think… - Kisa said as she was facing Matsumoto but her head was down.

-Don't worry, Kisa – Chan! Here! – She then gave her a fake ID.

-Um… Thanks… - Kisa replied with her favorite drop accompanying her.

Kisa was with Byakuya, whose expression was then warmer, and everyone noticed, some felt astounded while others weren't…

Yoruichi was with handsome-looking Urahara. They were both immediately dancing with the music's rhythm.

-That's the kid we once met. – Yoruichi said as she glanced at them, who were obviously oblivious to her surveillance.

-They really do make a cute couple… - Urahara grinned. - And Kisa seems to be even more interesting than you described her.

Kyoraku was with Ukitake, sitting on the bar. Kyoraku couldn't resist another minute…

-Well, isn't that the cold-hearted captain? – Kyoraku smirked.

-They are a lovely pair… And by the way the look at each other and are completely oblivious to the rest of us watching them, I can tell they've declared their feelings for one another already… Quite amazing, I admit. I honestly thought they'd never do so. At least not so soon.

-We all now know the other side of Kuchiki Byakuya. – Kyoraku guffawed as he took another sip of his sake.

-I'd like a martini, please. – Nanao ordered desperately. She could no longer bear with her frustration of babysitting her captain and wanted to take advantage he was with Ukitake to drink and get relaxed… And hopefully, it will make her feel better about making poor captain Ukitake take care of four people: Kyoraku, her, Kiyone and Sentaro, who were both bickering, but the very experienced captain had long ago learned how to ignore them…Most of the time…

Matsumoto walked over to Hitsugaya.

-Taicho! Hello, you look good! – She said with the same tone she could say: 'Aww! Aren't you cute?' which was something Hitsugaya knew very well and he felt a bit annoyed about it.

-Yeah, you too. – He resigned himself to reply as if he didn't catch the hint.

-Have you seen the way those two are looking at each other? It's so cute.

-I do admit I never thought I could see his heart melt. – He said seriously. – I guess that leaves me with the title of 'Coldest Captain' – He smirked.

-Yeah right! Taicho, I've seen your 'ice' melt too! Actually, now that we think about it, we're in the real world and in Karakura Town… - She then grinned mischievously at him. – Who knows? Maybe Kurosaki Karin is somewhere around this street? - She then nudged him slightly as he was slowly blushing beat red.

-Matsumoto!! – He shouted.

Hisagi, Renji and Ikkaku were on the smoking corner and were breathing cancer cheerfully while holding their beer bottles.

-I never thought I'd see my taicho like that… - Renji said still astounded. – I don't even recognize him… - He then smiles. – On the other hand, this could mean he might stop being such a cold piece of ice with me! – He then parted to daydream land with his eerie puppy eyes.

X Renji's Daydream X

(It's even more hilarious if you imagine a chibi version of Renji and Byakuya.)

Renji opened the door to Byakuya's office as Byakuya was there happily, placing a seal on the papers with a smile that was too wide…

-Hey taicho! – He said with a smile. – I brought this paperwork that needs to be finished.

-OK! – He responded all cheery; though, in reality, he wouldn't do that even if he was drunk; we all know that… - Put them on the table, I'll finish everything. – He sang that last sentence. (A seizing sensation traveled by the authoress's spine.)

-Yeah, you do that. I think I'm gonna leave early from now on. – He said smiling ridiculously.

-Oh, Renji – San! – Byakuya called suddenly worried with his hands entwined with each other and placed in front of his chest as if he was holding a rosary while he faced Renji. – Poor you! Oh, please do take a seat! – He then smiled and extended his left arm to his chair.

-Yeah, nice! - Renji said as he sat.

Byakuya started to massage his shoulders.

-Oh Renji – San! You're so tense! Well, from now on you're going to leave early.

-All right! – Renji shouted with his arms in the air above his head.

-Well, I know! Why don't you sit here in my office and relax while I take care of the paperwork in your smaller desk? – He said as he picked up all the paperwork and stood at the door.

-Great! You're the best, Byakuya! – Renji says cheerfully while holding a glass of wine in a hand and with the other one he made this 'gun shot' with his thumb up and his index pointing at Byakuya and he pretended to shoot it, winking an eye. Byakuya did the same before stepping out of his office.

X End of Renji's Daydream (Thank goodness! That was creepy!) X

When Renji arrived back to reality, he was now standing in that corner alone as Ikkaku and Hisagi were at the other side, pretending not to know him. That's how bad it is to be seen standing next to Renji Abarai as he daydreams such pitiful things…Which he says out loud, by the way.

Yumichika was on another corner with the rest.

-Oh, Kuchiki taicho sure always looks beautiful. – Said Yumichika, which was astounding if it came from his part; for him as important as giving a Nobel Prize. - He obviously is the second most beautiful man in all Seireitei, after me of course. – He said as he brushed the end of his hair with his hand and at the same time moved his neck to the side.

The rest just stared at the lovely couple and admired how amazing that girl was to be able to melt the ice off Kuchiki Byakuya's heart.

They were oblivious to it all. Now, returning to them…

- … And so Rangiku gave me this outfit… Ha, ha… - She smirked.

-So I see… - Byakuya said… - Well it is…Ravishing… - He said, trying to sound nice, as usual.

- It's OK if you don't like it. – She laughed. – I don't feel comfortable on this either and my feet are killing me. - She blushed tired.

Byakuya smiled. He knew that was something only his Kisa could say and he knew she wasn't the kind to dress like that.

-Then let's sit down. – He offered, becoming, then, her savior.

-I really like that idea. – She said as she blushed and laughed at the same time.

They searched for some seats at the bar and sat there. The bartender immediately came to take their order. She was thirsty. She looked at Byakuya hesitantly.

-What do you think? Should I order a drink?

He sighed. He knew it wasn't correct to use a fake ID, but well, he didn't really care about that…

-Are you intolerant to alcohol? – He asked a bit worried.

-I don't know. - She mused as she looked at her hands, lying on the bar. She then grinned and turned to Byakuya again. – Well, there is only one way to know… Wow… This is a chance to learn something about myself… I don't think a few drinks are so bad… I think I'm going to give it a shot, Byakuya.

-You do have a point there. – Byakuya mused, but was still worried, although he hid that fact.

-OK, where to start? OK. – She said as she looked at the bartender. – I am going to order. I'd like an Appletini.

-I'll just have a Whisky on the Rocks. – Byakuya said, thinking that maybe he should support her. He didn't really found sense in his actions but he was so happy to be at her side, he didn't care…

-ID's, please. – The bartender asked.

Kisa then showed him her fake ID and he showed him his, which was also fake about the age, though. The bartender looked at them both at the same time with a puzzled face. Kisa thought she was in deep trouble and got pretty nervous.

Then after a few seconds of the bartender thinking, which were hours from Kisa's point of view, he finally talked:

-Oh! I get it! – He exclaimed, making them both have heavy sign of a neon question mark above their heads. – Wow. It was so obvious. I'm sorry, I thought you two were relatives but I didn't find any similarities. I can't believe I didn't think about it before! – He laughed. – Right away, Mr. and Mrs. Kuchiki. – He said as he handed back their ID's and headed to a corner and prepared the drinks there.

Kisa blushed intensely as she saw her fake ID name.

-Kuchiki Kisa?! – She shouted. – Oh, Rangiku…! I can't believe she placed me your last name… - She said embarrassed and gazing at her hands.

-Sounds interesting… - Byakuya said as he grinned to the never-changing blushful Kisa, whose attention had just gotten caught as she heard him and now glared at him with what Byakuya found the most amazing eyes with such sparkling liveliness. - Doesn't it, Mrs. Kuchiki?

-Byakuya! - She nudged him as she flushed as a plum.

They both smiled and ended up laughing. Their laughing ended up in staring again. And their staring ended up in a long, romantic, passionate kiss. This time, both of their tongues wanted to explore the other mouth first. A fierce battle for first place began…

They obviously forgot where they were… Their kiss lasted almost 40 seconds; 40 long seconds… It would've been a miracle if anyone missed their proof of affection.

They were short on air so they finally broke apart, and the moment they did, their obliviousness died as the big crowd cheered at them. Some whistled, others yelled, others applauded, and others did all of the above.

Never before had they experienced such a moment. It was an actual mix of embarrassment, happiness and love. And of course, what else could we expect from our bashful Kisa other than her cheeks getting black cherry red?
