Author's Note: Hello. Quicker update than usual, huh? (seeing as usual is probably averaging a month now...)
Today's chapter has something someone waited a long time for, that I never kept my promise to put in... I'm trying my best, but I just don't get to everything. I am REREADING everyone's reviews, making a list of promises to keep :P
Sosuke Aizen: So. First question is going to be, where did Ichigo find out about Byakuya and Renji?
Ichigo Kurosaki: Simple. I asked around.
Rukia Kuchiki: Gotta see the conversation. Copy and paste, Ichigo.
...
Ichigo Kurosaki: Hey, Renji, want to train bankai later?
Abarai Renji: Can't, sorry, pulled guard duty.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Damn, they really hate you XD That's the fifth time this month!
Abarai Renji is typing...
Abarai Renji: Yeah, they don't like me much I guess...
...
Ichigo Kurosaki: Hey, Byakuya, where's Rukia?
Byakuya Kuchiki: I do not know. I can't talk riht now sory. Just forgot to log off Facebook.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Oh ok. I was going to train with Renji but he pulled guard duty again.
Byakuya Kuchiki: Yes they don't lkie him much I supose. Anyway I have to go.
...
Ichigo Kurosaki: Hey Rukia where are you?
Rukia Kuchiki: I'm on guard duty, why?
Ichigo Kurosaki: Liar XD Renji said he had guard duty no way they put two lieutenants on at once!
Rukia Kuchiki: Well, idiot, come see for yourself! Anyway, Renji got guard duty once already this month.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Thought it was five times.
Rukia Kuchiki is typing...
Rukia Kuchiki: No, it's only been once. You can't have guard duty more than twice in a month anyway. Btw, seen Nii-sama?
Ichigo Kurosaki: Oh, yeah, that's the other thing I wanted to ask. How's his typing?
Rukia Kuchiki: What do you mean?
Ichigo Kurosaki is typing...
Ichigo Kurosaki: I was Facebook messaging him earlier and I was really surprised at how many typos he made.
Rukia Kuchiki: Normally he's really good with that. Uses all the punctuation, too, stickler for commas.
Ichigo Kurosaki: That's really odd because he didn't use a single one while we were talking.
Rukia Kuchiki: Oh, I have to go! Guard duty's starting, not allowed to have a phone out.
...
THREE GUESSES WHAT BYAKUYA WAS DOING AND THE FIRST TWO DON'T COUNT
...
Next Day
Ichigo Kurosaki: Okay, 'fess up, Renji. You're ditching me to go into town or something?
Abarai Renji: Whaaat? No I'm not?
Ichigo Kurosaki: You were NOT on guard duty. Rukia was.
Abarai Renji: ...ah, shit.
Ichigo Kurosaki: You going to tell me what you were actually doing?
Abarai Renji: Um, can't.
Ichigo Kurosaki: WHAT? why not?
Abarai Renji: Top secret.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Liar. :P
...
Ichigo Kurosaki: Yo, Kisuke, you there?
Kisuke Urahara: Yeeeeeeeees?
Ichigo Kurosaki is typing...
Ichigo Kurosaki: lol every time you do that I can imagine you standing there flashing a peace sign with a fan and a creepy smile.
Kisuke Urahara: I pride myself on my image.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Anyway, I have a question.
Kisuke Urahara: And what would that be?
Ichigo Kurosaki: Who would Renji be sneaking out to meet up with and NOT be able to admit it?
Kisuke Urahara: Oh, Abarai-san has a secret?
Ichigo Kurosaki is typing...
Ichigo Kurosaki: Maybe. I think so. But if he'd hooked up with Matsumoto-san or something, he could tell me, right?
Kisuke Urahara is typing...
Kisuke Urahara: The way I see it, if he can't tell you, one of three options. One, he's gay and he really doesn't want to admit it.
Kisuke Urahara: Two, it's illegal, like a kid or a superior.
Kisuke Urahara: Or three, it's someone he thinks you also might like – Rukia or Orihime or someone – and he doesn't want you to be mad.
Ichigo Kurosaki: I think we can rule out Rukia, she has an alibi.
Kisuke Urahara: So does Orihime, she hasn't been to Soul Society and Abarai-san hasn't been here.
Ichigo Kurosaki: So... he's gay?
Kisuke Urahara: Too soon to tell... but I have my own personal guess.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Who's that?
Kisuke Urahara: Can't tell, but I'll tell you what. I'll give you a hint.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Yeah?
Kisuke Urahara: You're never going to see it coming.
...
Present Time
Ichigo Kurosaki: ...so then I just started looking at the internet trying to find incriminating photos of Renji I could use to make him tell.
Abarai Renji: Blackmail? Really?
Ichigo Kurosaki: So anyway I find something called "Tenth Division's Incriminating Photo Site", look up Renji, pay Toshiro ten bucks, and boom.
Byakuya Kuchiki: Hitsugaya-taicho...
Toshiro Hitsugaya: Okay, we've been over this. I'm NOT a pervert, I trade with the Espada. I'm a strategical genius.

Abarai Renji: There's an even earlier part of the story...
...
Abarai Renji: Come on.
Byakuya Kuchiki: No.
Abarai Renji: Just admit it, Taicho, I'm not judging.
Byakuya Kuchiki: NO.
Abarai Renji: You know it and I know it. Why not just say so?
Byakuya Kuchiki: Look. Renji. I do admire you. But that doesn't mean I'm gay.
Enzy-chan: You can't deny that you're gay.
Byakuya Kuchiki: Who are you?
Abarai Renji: And how did you get into a private chat?
Enzy-chan: Look behind you :}
Byakuya Kuchiki: ...
...
Sosuke Aizen: That was the first time a reviewer showed up in the story?
Byakuya Kuchiki: Well, that depends on how you think about it. In OUR universe, that was the first strange occurence.
MiracleAngel500: But in my universe, it's been 18 months since that one little conversation was requested, and it's only appeared NOW.
Sosuke Aizen: Great job.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Actually that kind of sucks...
Sosuke Aizen: SARCASM, Kurosaki.
Ichigo Kurosaki: Oh.
Sosuke Aizen: Question: What's the date now?
MiracleAngel500: My world time, June 27th 2014. I haven't updated this story in over 8 months.
Gin Ichimaru: Impossible, we just talked a few days ago about Aizen writing this story!

Devil'sEyeAlchemist13: To you people, maybe it's been a few days. To those of us out here... well, we've been waiting for a WHILE.
Everyone still reading this story likes this comment.
MiracleAngel500: I'm a bad updater. We've been over this. Sorry about the 8-month wait, though. :'(
Ichigo Kurosaki: So, as long as we're doing flashbacks and stuff... I have a question. Where did this story freaking come from?

Sosuke Aizen: Looks like I won't be having writer's block for a while...
Author's Note: Yeah. So. That's something off my chest, been feeling guilty about never doing that request for a while now.
The next chapter WILL be out soon... (I HOPE...) and you already sorta know what it's about.
