Disclaimer – I do not own Bleach, but I do own the three women.

Shun was dragged to the Head Captain's office, after chasing Ichigo, and was standing near her friends with a scowl. All the other Captains were in the room as well, along with a big chested woman. Shun had eyed her with a frown, wondering why she was there. She looked familiar, but nothing clicked in her mind. She stared at the woman with a concentrated look, trying in vain to remember her.

"Are you okay, Shun?" Rio asked, blinking curiously.

"Fine... just trying to remember this woman." Shun said, nodding to the big chested woman.

Hell, her breasts were bigger than hers.

She frowned when she felt the usual weight on her back, Yuri grinning widely and rubbing her cheek against hers. She glared at her friend, frowning deeply, wondering why she had to be attached to her so much. Rio smiled softly, seeing Yuri shake her head when Shun told her to get off. She blinked and narrowed her eyes.

"Gotta question." Shun said, looking at her two friends and seeing them blink.

"What is it?"

"How long have I been out?" Shun asked, not really knowing.

"For... about two and a half weeks." Rio said, smiling.

Shun widened her eyes with shock. Two fucking weeks! That was nuts! She was out for two weeks? She frowned and looked to the side, cursing.

"Um..."

Shun snapped her attention to the smaller woman, eyes narrowed, a deep frown on her face. The big breasted chick, Shun having no idea what to call her, smiled. The woman rolled her eyes. Damn. She was one of those happy people.

"Can you step over here please? I'm going to heal your arm now." She said, smiling.

Shun went to do that, only to frown and turn her head, seeing that Yuri refused to let go. Rio, seeing the woman's irritation, grabbed Yuri and pulled her off. Shun rolled her eyes and scoffed, standing in front of the woman these Captains said could fix her arm. Just how the hell was she going to do that when her arm was gone?

"Soten Kishun, I reject." Orihime said, holding her hands out towards the woman's right side.

Shun, Rio, and Yuri widened their eyes when something shot out of the girl's hairpin, a yellow barrier covering Shun's right side, the woman shocked. Everyone else seemed to almost know what the reaction of the women would be.

"What the fuck is this?" Shun muttered, eyes wide with shock, lips parted slightly.

Her eyes grew wider when she saw... her arm growing back.(Doesn't that sound stupid?) What kind of ability was this? Orihime was soon done, the two small fairies, which they looked like to the three women, going back to her hairpins. The woman smiled and stared at the woman. Shun raised her right arm, staring at it in astonishment. How the fuck...?

Something then amazing happened at that moment.

Which made everyone widen their eyes to the size of dinner plates.

Shun... hugged Orihime.

"THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!" Shun yelled, hugging the smaller woman with all her might, which was... a bad thing.

Orihime was desperately trying to get out of the woman's embrace feeling like she wasn't breathing. Shun released the woman with a wide grin, turning her head to raise an eyebrow when she saw Rio and Yuri's expressions.

"Y-You... hugged someone." Yuri said, pointing at her friend in shock.

"...So?" Shun said, folding her arms over her chest, feeling a smirk spread across her face.

She was able to fold her arms again.

She turned around to stare at the woman, making Orihime blink and smile brightly.

"What's your name, girl?" Shun asked, already having forgotten the woman's name.

"Orihime Inoue."

Shun nodded.

Before anyone knew it, Shun walked towards the double doors, making everyone snap their attention towards the woman intending to leave. Orihime blinked and stared at the woman. If she asked for her name, did that mean she didn't remember her?

"Shun Masuyo." A petite voice said, out loud, making everyone pause.

Shun stopped and turned her head, staring at the Captain of the fourth, raising an eyebrow questioningly. She stopped walking and turned, too happy to scoff and keep walking. Unohana smiled softly and closed her eyes, tilting her head slightly, her hands clasped in front of her. Huh. Almost like Rio.

"After everything that has happened..."

"Yeah?" Shun said, narrowing her eyes, a frown coming to her face, not liking the feeling of dread that spread throughout her body.

"I would like you to come to my office for anger management." Unohana said, smiling.

Shun widened her eyes, both Rio and Yuri coughing and covering their mouths, their shoulders shaking. Kenpachi grinned. Nice. Shun's lips parted, staring at the Captain like she was crazy. She ran for the door.

"LIKE HELL I AM!" Shun yelled, almost making it to the doors.

Rio and Yuri jumped in the air, smiles on their faces, making Shun widen her eyes and turn around, all three of them topping to the ground. Shun pushed herself up, turning her head, glaring at the two women, baring her teeth.

"You-"

"We love you, Kitty!" Yuri yelled, grinning widely. "We're glad you're back!"

Shun blinked, closing her mouth, her face turning bright red. She frowned and looked away, lifting her arm and patting both of the women on the head. She grumbled curses, Rio's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Shun turned her head and stared at the Captain of the fourth, shivering when her smile darkened. Shit! She had to run!

"C'mon! Get off! I have to get outta here!" Shun yelled, pushing both women off of her.

"Wait!" Rio yelled, her eyes wide, sweating.

Shun paused, one of her legs in the air to show that she was about to run. She put her leg down and turned around to raise an eyebrow when Rio motioned her closer. Yuri's smile widened. She knew what Rio was about to say.

"Kitty!" Yuri yelled, throwing her arms in the air.

Shun stopped and turned her head, staring at the brown haired woman, Rio feeling herself relax.

"What?"

"I love my Captain!" Yuri yelled, grinning widely.

Hitsugaya's face turned bright red, closing his eyes with a frown, everyone turning his attention towards him in shock. Shun blinked and stared at her friend, making Yuri blink and lower her arms. She was quiet. All of a sudden...

a grin spread across Shun's face.

Shun threw her head back and started laughing loudly, making everyone blink and widen their eyes with shock. She was laughing. Shun put a hand to her forehead, laughing harder, making Rio and Yuri glance at each other. What was so funny? Shun turned around and laughed, eyes closed tightly, not able to breathe.

"You're serious?" Shun asked, her eyes wide, a grin on her face, panting slightly.

Yuri nodded, making the woman double over in laughter, making the woman furrow her eyebrows. What was so funny? What was she doing that was making Shun laugh?

"Rio loves her Captain, too." Yuri said, pointing to the green eyed woman.

Shun started laughing harder, yelling that she couldn't breathe, making Rio purse her lips and narrow her eyes. When Shun calmed down, she stood straight, still grinning widely. The thought of the two loving their Captains was hilarious. Especially since three years before they didn't know what love even was.

"And what was it that you wanted to tell me?" Shun asked, looking at the green eyed woman, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

Rio frowned and motioned Shun closer, blushing, making the angry woman raise an eyebrow. She was blushing? Shrugging, she leaned forward, putting her ear close to Rio's mouth. The woman whispered. Shun frowned.

"Speak louder."

Rio swallowed hard and furrowed her eyebrows. She whispered once more, making Shun blink. Did she hear right? She asked Rio to repeat what she said. Rio did just that. Her eyes widened, her mouth falling open. She started laughing again, making everyone widen their eyes when she fell back and hit the floor, hitting the hardwood with her hand. Shun turned around, staring at her friend with a large grin.

"YOU'RE ENGAGED?" Shun yelled, holding her stomach, panting heavily before laughing again.

Everyone widened their eyes, their jaws falling open. In unison, everyone stared at the sixth division Captain, seeing that his eyes were closed, his expression indifferent. Shun hit the floor, trying to breathe. She stood up, letting out a breath.

"Ah, good laugh." Shun said, grinning widely. She looked towards Rio, smirking, making the woman purse her lips and blush. "Gonna consummate the marriage after you get married?"

She threw her head back and laughed, walking towards the door, Rio's face red, her eyebrows pulled together, lips pursed. Yuri widened her eyes and looked down with a blush. Shun touched the door to open it, when Rio dared to ask a question that could have her hit by the woman.

"It's not like you know love, right?"

Shun didn't move, her hand still on the door, her back towards everyone. Yuri widened her eyes and gave her friend a panicked look, Rio giving her the same look. Oh, they were going to be killed. Shun turned her head, her mouth in a firm line, her eyes narrowed. Orihime looked between all three people, having no idea what was going on. Shun stared at her friends with an indifferent look.

She closed her eyes and gave a lop-sided grin.

"I sorta understand that emotion."

Is all she said before opening the door and leaving. Rio and Yuri widened their eyes, along with everyone else, staring at the door in shock. What did she say?

Orihime was confused.

What was going on?

Kenpachi raised an eyebrow. She sort of understood love? Did that mean she finally liked someone? He didn't know. When he looked forward, that's when he noticed that everyone in the room was staring at him. He frowned. What the hell were they staring at?

-:-

Rio walked down the street with Yuri, her head lowered, her face bright red. Yuri furrowed her eyebrows, patting her friend's head, making the green eyed woman smile sadly. She sighed and closed her eyes.

"Does that mean Shun knows love now?" Rio asked, staring at her friend.

"Maybe." Yuri said, shrugging.

They looked up in thought. Since they had joined the Gotei thirteen Shun was the same. She didn't care about anyone she didn't know. She beat up anyone that hurt them, and still does. She did kill... him. She would ignore anyone that tried to talk to her. But after several months in the eleventh squad, she had started to act differently around a small group.

All the top people of the eleventh squad.

They didn't think Shun even knew she considered that group her friends.

She started hanging out with them more, even remembering their names. They guess she considered them friends a little while after being ordered to do the paperwork. And they figured that the Captain started to notice her after several months of her in the division. Of course, Shun didn't know why he was following her, they also guessed that the Captain didn't as well.

Now Shun was saying she knew a little of love, just a little.

"Maybe Kitty like Captain Zaraki." Yuri said, a large smile on her face.

"Maybe... but all we know about Shun's love life is... nothing." Rio said, closing her eyes with a sigh, shrugging. "She probably wouldn't even know how to talk to someone she liked, or admired. Same thing."

"Yeah..." Yuri said, nodding. "Neither do we."

Rio blushed in embarrassment, clearing her throat.

"Yeah."

"Talking about someone behind their back is a bad thing, you know."

Both women screamed loudly, turning around, seeing Shun staring at them with a frown, her arms folded over her chest. They widened their eyes and paled, giggling nervously, making Shun narrow her eyes.

"What were you two talking about?" Shun asked, only hearing part of the conversation.

"Nothing." Rio said, smiling.

Shun grunted. Rio and Yuri smiled nervously, blinking when Shun patted their heads, walking by them. They stared after her, their eyes wide. It seemed... Shun changed after she returned. But they couldn't figure out what. Their eyes welled up with tears, furrowing their eyebrows, staring after their friend. Shun turned around and raised an eyebrow when she saw the looks on her friends.

"What's wrong?" Shun asked, turning around to face her friends, arms still folded over her chest.

Rio and Yuri's lips trembled, the latter sniffling and wiping her eyes. Shun's eyebrows drew together, wondering why they were crying. Yuri walked forward and wrapped her arms around the woman, making Shun raise an eyebrow and look down. The hell? Yuri's shoulders shook, her eyes closed tightly, tears rolling down their faces.

Shun opened her mouth to ask what she was doing when Rio hugged her as well, making her blink and tilt her head. What the hell were they doing? Rio swallowed hard, eyes closed tightly, holding her friend tightly.

They were so happy... Shun was back.

Shun narrowed her eyes and frowned. She looked to the side, arms folded over her chest, not making any move to comfort her friends.

"Stop crying... I don't know what the hell I did, so I'm confused as hell."

-:-

Rio walked onto the courtyard, her eyes closed, breathing deeply. Shun was angry and yelling at her and Yuri, asking why they were crying. Shun still didn't know why people cried. She always guessed it was always sad tears. But their tears were of happiness. So, Shun was yelling at them and asking what she had done to make them cry.

She cared about them.

A smile graced Rio's lips, closing her eyes. She stopped and turned her head, hearing someone call her name. She smiled when she saw the brown haired man walk towards her with a tired expression.

"Rio." Starrk said, nodding towards the woman.

"Hello, Starrk." Rio said, closing her eyes with a smile.

"I hear your friend has woken up." Starrk said, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

"Oh, yes. I'm so glad she's awake." Rio said, looking down with a soft smile, feeling her heart flutter. Shun has been in her life for a long time. Of course she would deeply care for her. "She's like my family."

"That's a nice thing to say." Starrk said, closing his eyes. "She fought hard for you and your other friend, even though she was close to death."

Rio looked up and stared at the man, seeing him open his eyes and stare at her. Shun... was close to death? She widened her eyes slightly. She hadn't seen that. She knew that Shun would make it and kill Hikaru. But her efforts cost an arm. Thankfully it was returned.

"Shun... is strong." Rio said, looking up with a bright smile. "She can never die."

Starrk stared at the woman, eyes narrowed. She was so sure about her friend. Rio continued to smile until she screeched when someone put their arm around her shoulders, making her look to the side.

"Yep! Gotta agree with ya, Princess! Shunny can never die, but jus' remember somethin'. Not everyone's invincible." Kaen said, closing his eyes with a nod, a smirk on his face. "Now, how 'bout we go fer a little walk... to yer fiance." He whispered with a large grin.

Rio blushed deeply, pursing her lips, making the snake grin before standing straight. He pointed in a random direction.

"Thataway!"

"He's that way." Starrk said, looking in another direction.

Kaen Hebi paused. He turned around and pointed in the direction Starrk was looking.

"Thataway!" He yelled before glowing and disappearing.

Rio blinked before closing her eyes and smiling. She was glad Kaen Hebi was her zanpakuto... just a little glad. She should be glad that he cares about her.

Who the hell said I cared 'bout ya?

Rio smiled, knowing that Kaen Hebi's face was red with embarrassment. She bowed to Starrk and walked away, smiling brightly. Shun... was an idiot. She closed her eyes and giggled.

-:-

"Shiro-chan!" Yuri yelled, smiling brightly.

"Y-Yuri!" Hitsugaya whispered harshly, putting a finger over his lips to silently tell the woman never to call him that in public, his face red.

Yuri put her own finger in front of her mouth, nodding and making the Captain nod back with a sigh, a smile on his face. Yuri closed her eyes and grinned widely. Hitsugaya gazed at the woman, his eyes soft, a rare look in his eyes.

Yuri... was one of the ones, along Momo and Matsumoto, to see him with a smile. When she wasn't around he would be serious and work. Before she met him he was the same, always working, always serious. Then she yelled out that he was cute. At first he thought she was just one of those women that was like Matsumoto, always happy.

But then he found out about her past.

About how she was alone.

Her twin brother killed.

Having been... raped.

He was furious when he heard. He wanted to kill the one that did that. When he first saw the man, having went to Hueco Mundo and turned into a hollow, he wanted to cut his head off. But the Head Captain had said that the fight belonged to all three women.

Even though Yuri always smiled... she had a rough life.

"Can we go get watermelons?" Yuri asked, smiling brightly.

Hitsugaya sighed, needing to work. "Yes."

Yuri squealed happily, running on ahead, making Hitsugaya smile before walking after her. Matsumoto smiled from around the corner of the building. They made such an adorable couple.

Hitsugaya walked after the woman, eyes narrowed. Yuri had spent so much time sulking when her friend had gone, now she was smiling all the time. Even went to the fourth division to sleep with her friend.

"Yuri, how is your friend?" Hitsugaya asked, walking along side the woman.

"Kitty? She's doing fine." Yuri said, smiling brightly. "And somehow... it seems she changed."

"Somehow?" Hitsugaya asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Kitty usually has a frown on her face... but she's telling people she's sorry... she hugged someone... and she laughed. She never does that. But Kitty still frowns." Yuri said, smiling brightly. "Even though Kitty's mean, I don't think I would want her to change."

Hitsugaya frowned. Some people thought otherwise.

But, if Yuri was happy, he was happy. He turned his head and stared at the woman with a smile, seeing her smile back. He was just glad she was happy again. Seeing her depressed didn't suit well with him. He always sees her with a smile on her face.

His expression darkened.

And if her friend made her depressed again... no telling what he'll do.

-:-

"-AND WE HAD TO DEAL WITH HIS SHIT FOR WEEKS!"

"DO I GIVE A DAMN?"

"YOU SHOULD! HE FUCKING SNAPPED AT ANYONE THAT EVEN WENT CLOSE TO HIM!"

"WHY SHOULD I CARE? I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!"

As soon as Shun had walked onto the courtyard, Ikkaku attacked her. Not with swords. But with his mouth, both yelling at each other for twenty minutes straight. Yumichika was amazed at their lung power. Kenpachi wasn't doing anything. Just kept drinking. And Yachiru was smiling brightly, looking between Baldy and Grouchy-chan.

"YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HIM!"

"I ALREADY DID!"

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"

Shun flinched, both barring their teeth and glaring at each other, right in each other's faces. Ikkaku gave a fierce glare, hands clenched, seeing that the woman got her arm back, probably from that Inoue woman.

"What would I gain from lying!" Shun yelled, grabbing the front of the third seat's robes, shaking him.

"C'mon! You apologizing is like a myth!" Ikkaku yelled, grabbing the woman and shaking her as well.

Shun pointed towards the Captain, her eye twitching, her vein threatening to burst.

"He won't accept my damn apology!" Shun yelled, turning her head to glare at the Captain next, seeing that he wasn't staring at her. "Look at him! He doesn't give a damn!"

"Then why do you have a new collar?" Yumichika asked, smiling.

"SHUT UP!"

Shun stomped in front of the Captain, gaining his attention, still holding his cup to his lips. Kenpachi stared at her with a bored expression, making her narrow her eyes, curling her upper lip.

"I'm trying to apologize and he'll throw it right back at me!" Shun yelled, pointing at the Captain. "This is the only fucking time I'm ever apologizing! So listen up, Captain! I'm sor-"

"I said I don't want your apology." Kenpachi said, continuing to drink.

"SEE!" Shun yelled, pointing at the Captain. "He's fucking irritating me!"

She grabbed the front of the Captain's robes, glaring right in his face, barring her teeth, seeing that his expression was indifferent. Kenpachi had to remember that this woman was different than others, not going to take his shit. But he didn't care. He smirked, making Shun flinch. She opened her mouth to yell.

"Woman!"

Shun blinked and turned her head, staring at the blue haired man and tall thin man. She frowned and narrowed her eyes.

"What?" Shun asked.

Grimmjow grinned widely, narrowing his eyes, a similar expression on Nnoitra's face.

"Remember yer promise?" Grimmjow asked, making a smirk spread across the woman's face.

Shun released the Captain, making him narrow his eyes. Promise? What promise? Shun walked until she was across the two, grabbing the grip of her sword, unsheathing her sword and pointing it at the two, smirking. Grimmjow and Nnoitra grinned and unsheathed their sword, getting ready.

"Don't expect us to go easy jus' 'cause ya got outta the fourth." Grimmjow said.

"Wasn't expecting you to." Shun said, grinning sadistically.

She widened her eyes and grinned widely, jumping forward, ignoring the hell butterfly. She connected swords with the blue haired man, both grinning manically, everyone else watching with interest.

It was kind of nice to have the woman back.

Wasn't quiet anymore with all her yelling.
