Don't own bleach.

I apologise for the late upload. I needed a month off to focus more on my other tasks and mental health.

Not sure what went wrong with the previous chapter, but basically I was describing a female Byakuya/Byakuren wearing a sexy police uniform, cause why not? Not sure if I like the name though. Other than that nothing too much was planned to be added in that chapter.

Also, this story seems like it's gonna take longer than I initially thought to finish, so I apologise if this is moving at a snail's pace.

"What's taking so long, Rukia?" Byakuren pondered. She hasn't heard a word from Rukia for more than 2 months now.

"Morning Ms Kuchki. You look great as always..." Greeted a male voice. She turned around and saw Renji Abarai entering through the door. He's around 6 ft tall, red hair and had tattoos on his forehead, chest and arms. He also wore the standard police uniform, black pants, blue shirt and a black police vest. He's also Byakuren's lieutenant.

"Renji Abarai..." She greeted and shifted her focus back on her task. Renji was a little hurt that she addressed him in this manner, as if he's some stranger yet they've known each other for almost a decade. He got used to her dismissive attitude though.

"Uhm... I see you're pretty busy..." He said awkwardly as he stood next to her, making the beautiful woman frown. "Ah I see. It's the horned hollow. Man I have to say, he's good. No one has been able to escape the might of the Seretei in a long time but he somehow did. Damn Bastard." He spoke.

Byakuren sighed in frustration. "He's just lucky that's all. To think that he's still roaming around free and enjoying his riches after what he did is disgusting."

Renji spotted the photos of Ichigo and asked "Are you positive it's Ichigo Kurosaki behind all this?"

"Are you doubting my methods Abarai!" Byakuren yelled in slight anger.

"N-no that's not what I meant!" He replied while waving his hands no. "It's just... Didn't you already investigate this case five years ago? Even you said you didn't find any evidence. And if I remember correctly, didn't Kurosaki fend off this hollow one on one? And was praised by the whole town for doing so. He also helped rebuild the town back right?"

"I'm not stupid Renji, I know he's behind all this. During his crime sprees, Getsuga Corp was growing rapidly. I suspect all those gadgets I saw back then were stolen. I don't care if he showed me those licenses, I know they were faked! And whenever the hollow was around, Kurosaki was never to be seen! I've seen Kurosaki fight in hell's arena and the fighting style is mirroring that of the hollow! And as for him fighting the hollow? That's nonsense! It was a mere stunt double. These aren't just mere coincidences! Damn brat! How did he help rebuild the town when he's the one who caused chaos?! It was all his plan all along to get the people to side with him! I know he received help from some mastermind! No way filth like him could do what he did!" She explained in fury, panting heavily.

Renji always hesitated when speaking with her about this topic. The usually stoic captain would go from calm to unhinged anger in the blink of an eye from the mere mention of this hollow. He had a feeling things were much more personal between the two.

"Uhm... Captain? I think you need to calm down. You always seem to get worked up about him." He said. She listened and took deep breaths to calm herself down.

"I apologise. That was low of me." She said.

"Look, what matters is that whoever this person is has stopped." Renji began. "It's been five years now, I wouldn't be surprised if he got killed by other hollows, and if it is Ichigo Kurosaki then he's a businessman now. I doubt he'll ever go on another crime sprees les he damages his reputation."

"That matters not. He still has to answer for his crimes one way or another." Byakuren assured.

Renji sighed. "Captain? I think you should let this one go. This is not healthy for you."

Byakuren scoffed. "Pfft. As if. I won't sit by and let this criminal roam freely..."

"What I mean is, maybe you should give this case to someone else." He corrected.

"So they can fail as well? These workers here are nothing but obese middle aged men who sit around doing nothing. Yet they call themselves police officers, oul Reapers... pathetic." She said.

"But... look I-"

"Are you doubting your captain Renji?" She asked sternly.

"No not at all. It's just..."

"Then stop yapping and let the professionals do their jobs. I'm the best to ever do it in this country or even the world right now and it's only a matter of time till I catch that filth!" She yelled and slammed her fist down on the table. Renji stayed silent.

She took deep breaths again to calm herself. She sighed and spoke "Now Mr Mayor thinks Sui-feng of all people can do it, along with Hinamori and Matsumoto. I never thought he'd stoop that low."

Renji replied "Sui-feng is well trained so... wait a minute? He sent Sui-feng!?" He shouted in shock

"No need to kill my eardrums Renji, and yes he did. You obviously know what that means." She stated.

"He's planning to kill him? W-wow. I never knew the animosity between the two was THIS bad."

"I understand where he comes from." Byakuren analysed as she drank a bottle of water. "Getsuga Corp is our enemy and competition. Kurosaki will over throw us if we're not careful. Getting rid of him means getting rid of the competition, not to mention getting rid of a hollow and a monster! But I predict-no, I know this plan will end in failure."

Renji raised his brow in confusion. "Why so?"

"Genryusai underestimates Ichigo Kurosaki." Byakuren began. "He doesn't even have a clue that he's the horned hollow with no name. Not to mention Kurosaki also has hidden outside help, most likely from high ranking powerful hollows. He's a snake Renji. They'd be lucky if those three don't end up in body bags. Even if they do survive, Kurosaki, the hollow I'm sure he is, will break them mentally. He almost broke me mentally. And If he ever finds out he'll retaliate. Chaos would ensure in all of Karakura town and I doubt we want to deal with another violent spree, even if it's been years."

Renji now was getting a little frightened by all this.

"That monster better get his hands off of Rukia!"

"You mean he's that dangerous?" He asked to which Byakuren nodded sadly.

"Yes. You've heard of the many horror stories about him, except they're all true. I've dealt with him firsthand." She replied.

"If that's the case, then we need to get Rukia out of there! Why is she still there for so long anyway!? We need to-"

"There's nothing we can do about her. She clearly has aborted the mission if it's taking this long to report to us. Her time is almost up and you know what that means..." She said while closing her eyes.

"No. No!..." Renji yelled. "I refuse! It can't end this way. Can't we let her go?"

"Out of the question Renji. She knew what she signed up for. She knows her contract. She knew what she did all those years ago and she'll soon pay the price. No one is above the law." She explained.

Renji grit his teeth in anger at this. "But... there must be a way to free her! The contract is bullshit and you know it! Don't tell me you believe them!" He shouted and grabbed her shoulder forcefully, making her glare daggers at him. "You're his sister damnit! Why are you not defending her? I know she didn't do what she did, it's all lies! Are you just gonna let her go like that! Huh!"

"Remove your hand from my shoulder at once Renji Abarai." She warned with a cold-hearted voice. Renji's expression turned to horror and immediately removed his hold on her shoulder.

"I'm your superior and you're my lieutenant. We are not friends. We're at work here so do not cross boundaries you shouldn't cross." She warned again. "It matters not if she's my sister or not. My job is to uphold the law and defend justice. Personal relationships have no place in the law. If we let our emotions cloud our judgement then many criminals would be out on the loose and it's our job to bring all of them to justice even if they are our family members or loved ones. The law is what keeps society in balance and it should be upheld at all costs. Let me ask you this Renji, do you love your job? Because I do not believe this is for you."

"Y- Of course I love my job. That's why I've been here busting my ass nearly my entire life!" He said in a shaky voice.

"Then good! Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. Besides, why do care so much for her? It's not like you had the guts to court her."

"Well... that's not tr..."

"Forget I said anything." She said and focused back on staring at her evidence on the wall in silence. They remained in awkward silence for about five minutes, Renji sweating nervously while Byakuren remained stoic as ever. Renji was perturbed by Byakuren as she mindlessly stared at the picture of this hollow. Her expressions changed from anger, neutral, to sadness, to what Renji believed longing then back to anger again.

Having had enough, Renji broke the silence and asked "Ms Kuchki may I ask you a question?" Byakuren gestured with her hand to continue. "What happened between you and the hollow since you last met? Because I can tell this is about more than justice, this is personal isn't it? Maybe then I can understand why you're so obsessed over this person."

Byakuren's expression saddened. She stayed silent for a few moments before finally speaking "I'm-I'm afraid I cannot tell you, for now. There would be way to many consequences, but I can tell you that I was once fell prey for his mind games. He's highly cunning and deceptive, and me being the fool I... We... did something I was not proud of. Even now I don't think I'm fully recovered mentally. That is why I vow to get my revenge for all this bastard did... to everyone else..." "And to me." She whispered that last part out

Renji stood there with a confused expression, wondering what the hell happened between these two. He couldn't fathom how this hollow, or Ichigo, was able to manipulate the calm and collected Byakuren.

"I'm leaving. This conversation has drained me off my energy." She said and turned around heading for the door.

"Wait Ms Kuchki!" Yelled Renji, stopping her in her tracks. "I uhh... wanted... to ask... if you uhh... wanted to... willyougooutandhavedinnerwithme?"

Byakuren tilted her head back and raised her brow in confusion. "I don't have time to waste Renji, speak up."

Renji sighed and gathered up his courage to speak "Will... will you go out and have dinner with me sometime? You know... just to take your mind off things. There's still a lot I don't know about you so uhh... was hoping to get to know you better outside of work. I don't mean this as a date or anything! But if you want..."

Byakuren couldn't help but chuckle at his nervous anime-like body language. "Wasn't my sister already enough Renji? And no I decline. Relationships only get in the way of my work. I have no time for such pettiness." She said and slammed the door shut behind her as she left.

Renji sighed. Attempt number 120 failed, but he wasn't one for giving up yet. Him and Rukia we're far off from being friends again anyways.

"Rukia. What is going on out there?"

Quincy estate.

Uryu eyed the petite woman suspiciously. Why in the world would she want to help him? Unless of course there's a catch.

"Why do you want to help me exactly?" He asked.

Soi-Fon shrugged as if it's the most obvious answer in the world. "Because like you I also despise Kurosaki. I hate what filth like him did to you. You and I are similar in that aspect."

"Similar? Haha..." Uryu laughed out loud "You and me are nothing alike! You don't even have the slightest clue what I've been through because of that bastard! Why do you hate Kurosaki anyway?"

"Like you, he took someone precious from me away..." She said. Both stayed silent for a few moments. "She was my everything! My idol! And now he has her under his clutches! I'll make him pay for what he did!" She ranted in anger, panting heavily.

Uryu had a bit of sympathy for her as he just lost his Hime recently, forever. "I'm sorry, but I have to ask, who is she? A family member?"

"No." She shook her head. "She was more than that. Lady Yoru-Yoruichi Shihoin is her name." She didn't expect Uryu to burst out laughing hysterically, making her frown. "Is there something funny about this!"

Uryu moments later composed himself and spoke "Ser-seriously? Yoruichi? Haha! I think you're mistaken lady. Her and Ichigo have been banging the moment they laid eyes on each other. He was only 17 the last time I saw them! If anything it's her that has Ichigo under her clutches." Soi-Fon by now was fuming with anger.

"Shut your tramp! Look, we both have a common enemy and I will need your help to... remove him. My accomplices are pathetic, they'll only get in my way."

"Waiiiit... What exactly do you mean by that? What do you want to do to Kurosaki exactly?" He asked though he probably knew the answer.

Soi-Fon's expression turned serious and whispered "I'm not supposed to tell you this... what I mean is, I'm going to end his existence, once and for all..."

Uryu's eyes widened in shock. "Wow. That's a nice way of saying... I don't know, that YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM! Are you nuts!?" He shouted.

"Calm down Ishida. You don't want anyone to know this alright?"

"Calm down my ass! Besides I only live with my father around here. Look, as much as I despise Kurosaki, murder isn't my forte alright. And who the hell are you anyway? Are you a criminal? A Hitman? You know that I can get you arrested for this!?"

"I'm not a crook why would you even... Do I look I a damn crook to you! I'm an elite member of the Seretei Stealth force! I am well within my power to eliminate any threats to the government like Kurosaki!" She exclaimed. "Look, I may need a bit of your help. I know deep down you want Kurosaki dead. Who knows what he's doing to your girlfriend right now as we speak. Don't you want her back? Are you gonna let her go just like that?" She said, making Uryu look away, his expression showing guilt and anger.

"Look at me Ishida!" She snapped, bringing him back to focus "We get rid of Kurosaki, you get your precious Orihime back, I get lady Yoruichi and we can get your company back on track, because with him gone I can pull some strings and you'll own a share of Getsuga Corp and so will the Seretei. It's a win win for everyone. And what can Kurosaki possibly do to us? He's formidable in combat but other than that he's got nothing. Come on, what do you say?"

He sighed and shook his head "I'm sorry. I'm not a murderer and I will never stoop that low."

Soi-Fon grunted in frustration. "Gyargh! All I said is that you'll help me! I will be the one to do the deed! You're a sewer and a craftsman right? I can sneak in some of your stuff and do some... minor modifications and additions, no one will ever know. I know you Quincies are master archers, just borrow me some of your arrows. Trust me, I'm good at what I do, better than lady- I mean Yoruichi, ever was!"

Uryu replied "Even so, I simply refuse. I've had enough quarrels with Kurosaki and I always lose. This time I blindly lost my soulmate. He's not someone I recommend dealing with."

"But..."

"Aaand this time it's my fault. I drive Orihime away and I'm the one who challenged him to the duel and humiliated myself. I did this all to myself and I'm paying the consequences. I vowed from then on that I don't want anything to do with Kurosaki." Uryu explained. "During that fight, what I saw was... was a demon. All those years changed him into someone I didn't recognize and it would be wise for you to stay far away from him."

Soi-Fon burst out loud in laughter. Now it was his turn to ask "What's so funny?"

"Ahahaha! Now that is funny! Me, a well trained assa- I mean a captain of the stealth force, scared of the likes of him? A businessman? Ha! I think the beating he gave you got into that head of yours." She mocked, making Uryu scowl.

"You wouldn't be laughing if it was you in that ring." He stated.

"Oh Ishida. Don't be a coward now. Are you really just gonna let him get into Inoue's panties? Just like that?"

"Don't say it like that!" He yelled, trying to remove the disgusting mental image that formed in his mind. He took a deep breath and spoke "I'm just trying to do what's best for me. That is all. Now if you'll excuse me, I was in the middle of something. Later shorty." He said and turned around facing the door, ready to re-enter his house.

Soi-Fon had to hold in the urge to punch him hard for calling her that. "Is that how it is huh? You're just gonna walk away and cry yourself to sleep? Coward! I knew you didn't have the balls to do it! And yet you call yourself a man, Kurosaki is twice the man you are, Uryu Ishida! No wonder you got your ass kicked!" She mocked, making him stop his footstep. She smiled, thinking that he'd changed his decision.

Uryu tilted his head and looked back at her with the most dead expression she'd ever seen. It scared her a little. "You can mock all you want, it still changes nothing. Besides, why would I help you, a fucking soul reaper. I know you don't call yourselves that anymore but you still are. The Seretei was responsible for the death of my clan and family! You started the war.! You planted the bombs! I hope you're fucking proud of yourselves! And now you guys come to me expecting me to help you? How poetic. I never thought I'd say this but I like what Kurosaki is doing and I support it. He's bringing down your power and influence bit by bit and it amuses me. Hm hm. He's got you all shaking in your boots huh!?" He chuckled darkly, leaving a shocked expressionless Soi-Fon.

"The real quarrel here is me, a Quincy, and you soul reapers. What me and Kurosaki have is just childish rivalry compared to what I feel for you soul reapers. Just know that this isn't the end of the Quincy , our empire WILL rise again..." He said and slammed the door shut, leaving Soi-Fon waiting outside at the door...

"Welp, can't stay I didn't warn her. I can only hope he doesn't go too far..."

The following day, Friday, 8:15 AM

Getsuga Corp Main hall.

Tatsuki entered the building, nervously glancing at every direction. Today she wore a black polo neck and blue denim shorts showing off her long muscular legs, white sneakers for shoes.

"Man it's gonna be so awkward when I see Mr Kuro-... wait what? Why am I calling him that now? It's Ichigo for goodness sake!"

She looked around and saw her fellow colleagues moving around the hallways and chatting. She also saw Orihime sitting at her receptionist desk, looking a little miserable. She was leaning on the desk with her hands cupping her chin, a bored look on her beautiful face. She wore her pink shirt, a questionable black mini skirt and black heels. What shocked Tatsuki was the fact that Orihime tied her hair in a bun giving her a sweet new look. Without further ado she hesitantly made her way over to her friend, if they still are friends to begin with.

Orihime immediately frowned when she saw Tatsuki stand in front of her. She huffed and looked the other direction, ignoring Tatsuki.

"H-hey Orihime..." Tatsuki greeted while awkwardly waiving her hand. "It's been a while since we... you know... love that new look of yours... How are you?"

"I'm fine!" Orihime replied in annoyance while closing her eyes.

Tatsuki took a deep breath and spoke "Look Orihime, I'm-I'm sorry... for everything..." Orihime's scowl softened. "I shouldn't have bogged in your personal life like that. It's just that I was..."

"Jealous?" Orihime interrupted.

"Yeah... well maybe a little. I should have respected your decision, you're a grown woman after all. Instead of helping you, I judged you just like everyone else, and I'm sorry. And... and Ichigo isn't that bad either. He's... great." She blushed when she said the last part. "And don't worry, I think him and me are on good terms now. Can we also be in good terms as well? Can't we be friends again?"

Orihime beamed with a wide smile and stood up and hugged her friend.

"Oh it's okay Tatsuki I forgive you! I missed you so much you have no idea." She said while tearing up a little in Tatsuki's shoulder. "Can you uhm, also forgive me? For ignoring you I mean."

"Hehe, yeah it's alright. I deserved it anyway." They broke the hug and smiled at each other, the heavy tension finally swept away.

Tatsuki though was a little taken back by Orihime's choice of clothing and had to ask "Orihime, I see you have changed your hair and uhm... the skirt? Care to tell me what this is about?" She pointed at the miniskirt which was a little too short and revealing, not to mention that it hugged her firm rear. Many eyes were ogling her but by now many feared Orihime, especially after the fight with Yóshi.

"Oh this? Well, I just decided, why not change things up a little? I was getting sick and tired of my innocent look. And... I was hoping Mr Kurosaki would like it." She blushed and stared at the entrance hoping to see her beloved boss enter the building.

"Well, it's your body and you can do whatever you want with it." Tatsuki replied, gritting her teeth in a little bit of anger. "Look at her, trying to gain Ichigo's attention like that! I should do something about that before she hogs Mr- I mean Ichigo all to herself!

Grgh! Why am I thinking like this?" She shook her head to clear her mind of those thoughts.

"Hey, you said you fixed everything with Mr Kurosaki. How did you do that exactly?" Orihime asked.

Tatsuki's heartbeat increased and nervously glanced around "Uhm... we... we just... talked! Yeah, we talked it out, like responsible adults... Definitely didn't stay around till midnight doing something else hehe..." She said while laughing nervously. "Should I tell her? Personally I don't think she'll mind, but we're best friends. Won't that make things... awkward?."

"Oh, is that why you and him were absent yesterday? That explains a lot. Where did you meet up?" Orihime asked.

"Uh... at a restaurant? It was nowhere special really."

"What did guys talk about?"

"Ehm... You know, childhood stuff. We were friends for a long time once after all... And I've come to... respect him a bit more now."

"You're blushing a lot Tatsuki. What's the matter?"

"Uhm..." By now Tatsuki was beet red and sweating.

Orihime may not be very smart but she wasn't stupid per se. Tatsuki's expression only meant one thing. "Tatsuki? Do you... have a crush on Mr Kurosaki?" She asked which made Tatsuki blush even harder. "OMG I knew it! That would explain your jealousy Tatsuki."

"I'm not jealous! And I so do not have feelings for Ichigo! That was a long time ago, now he's like my brother!" She defended.

"Then why are you blushing? Don't be embarrassed Tatsuki, just admit it!" Said Orihime while chuckling.

"No I won't! Sure he's... attractive, but that doesn't mean that I... Besides, aren't you and him a thing?"

"Well... not really. We haven't hung out in a while. You know, I don't mind sharing him with you Tatsuki, we're besties after all."

"Gyargh! Let's forget about this conversation okay!" Tatsuki exclaimed in embarrassment causing Orihime to laugh. "Come on, let's see what the others are up to..."

Moments later they entered the slightly crowded cafeteria. They saw their friends Rukia and Senna sitting and chatting only this time they were joined by Kisuke and Keigo. By the looks of it Kisuke was telling one of his questionable stories which regardlessly peaked the other three's interest, especially Keigo.

"Crap, it's him! Ichigo's accomplice! I completely forgot about him! Crap! why did he have to be here!" She froze in horror when she saw the blonde man dressed in a dark green suit. "Who would've thought that a goofus like him was..."

"Oh hello Orihime, Tatsuki!" Kisuke greeted in a chirpy voice, as if nothing happened two days prior. "I was just telling these three about the time I visited Mars!"

"Do you really expect us to believe that? Good grief your stories are always far-fetched and terrible!" Rukia groaned.

Orihime herself was a fan of Kisuke's stories and happily joined in and took a seat next to Rukia. The group was elated to have Orihime back after so long. They whistled as they took in her new sexy appearance, making her blush madly.

"Tatsuki? Hey! You feeling alright?" Senna called out and all eyes fell on Tatsuki. Kisuke gave her a knowing smirk which irritated and scared her at the same time.

"I shouldn't have come to work. Imagine how I'd be like if I saw Ichigo again. Not looking forward to that..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to finish this another day." Kisuke suddenly said, earning disappointed groans from the others. "Plus, I wanna have a chitty chat with Tatsuki if you don't mind..."

Tatsuki's heart beat faster as Kisuke walked over to her direction with that kind knowing smirk on his face. After what she found out about Ichigo and him, who knows what this man was capable off. He seemed to possess far more knowledge and experience than even Ichigo himself on the shady side of things. "It's like my mom used to say; don't judge a book by it's cover..."

"H-hello Kisuke..." She greeted awkwardly.

"Pleasant morning Tatsuki. Though I'm surprised you called me by my name. Gaining a little respect for me now eh?"

"Listen..." She looked around to make sure no one was spying on their conversation and was slightly glad to see her friends chatting and minding their own business. "About what happened..."

"Oh that." He replied. "I assume you and Ichigo are on good terms now right?" He spoke so that only she could hear.

"Y-yes." She replied.

"Great! For a moment there I was thinking of ways to silence you for good haha." He joked but the message was well received judging by Tatsuki's horror filled expression. "Relax I'm just messing with you, you know how I am." This did little in calming Tatsuki down, and Rukia from her seat started watching closely with narrowed eyes.

The blonde man sighed. He honestly never wished for any of his friends to know about him and Ichigo's shady dealings, even though she asked for it. Now he probably already lost Tatsuki's trust.

"I'm sorry you had to find out about all this, but you have to promise to keep this between us. The consequences are just too severe. We'll explain everything once the right time comes. And please don't look at me and Ichigo as monsters, we're still your friends alright?" He said softly to which Tatsuki nodded. After this he lightly tapped her shoulder and headed out.

Tatsuki took a deep breath to calm herself and soon joined the others.

"Hey guys." She greeted while sitting down next to Keigo, the girls on the opposite side.

"Long time no see Tatsuki." Senna greeted back. "Where the heck were you yesterday?"

"I was feeling a little si-"

"She and Mr Kurosaki took a day off to have dinner!" Orihime interjected. "And the best part? They are friends again! Isn't that right Tatsuki?" They all looked at her expecting an answer

while Rukia's eyes widened.

"Is that what she told them? This is getting complicated fast! And what did blonde boy say to her to make her so nervous!?"

"Really? You don't hate each other's guts anymore?" Keigo asked in disbelief.

"Well yeah... I think so." Tatsuki replied.

"And I also noticed Orihime over here doesn't hate you any longer." Senna commented causing Orihime and Tatsuki to smile at each other. "Wow. What caused the sudden change of heart in like, a day?"

"Can we please change the subject already! Jeez what's with all the questions! Didn't I make it already clear!" Tatsuki burst out in anger, shutting up the others immediately. Seeing her friends' shocked looks she apologized "I'm sorry guys. It's just, I have a lot in my mind right now."

"Uhm, it's okay. I guess we'll just have to take your word for it then." Senna said.

The entire time Keigo couldn't avert his perverted eyes from Orihime's new sexy form. "Judging by how you're dressed, you're trying to impress Mr Kurosaki aren't ya?" He asked while wiggling his eyebrows, earning him a smack on the head by Tatsuki.

Orihime giggled in response. "You think he'll like it?"

"Oh please. He may play around with you a little but his heart belongs to me. He's mine! Don't forget that!" Senna declared.

"Hmp! Well... She made it clear that I'm his so I'd say he's mine and I'm his! Soon we'll go on our first date, then we'll get married, then I'll live in his mansion, and and we'll have a bunch of kids togeth-"

"Sorry to burst your bubble but we've been together way longer than you have. If anyone's getting married it's me! I'm just letting you in on the little fun that's all." Senna interjected, gritting her teeth.

"Woah woah woah, slow down housemaids." Tatsuki spoke. "I know Ichigo, and there is no way in hell he'd chose to tie the knot with any of you. Other than sex, what do you two have to offer him? Even I would clearly be the better choice."

Senna laughed mockingly "You? Ha! Mr Kurosaki probably still hates your guts! And uhm... you're not... very gifted... up there." She said while eyeing her bust.

"Man it's not fair. How come Mr Kurosaki gets all the girls? What's his secret?" Keigo sighed in defeat.

Tatsuki blushed in embarrassment and anger. She stood up and glared at her "Okay that's it! You are gonna pay for tha-"

"Girls! You're all pretty kay? No need to get your panties in a twist." Rukia interjected, putting her arms between both women, calming them down. Tatsuki sat back down. "Can we stop talking about carrot top for even a second?"

"No." Senna and Orihime said at the same time and laughed.

"You guys are hopeless." Rukia said. "Uhm... Tatsuki?"

"Yeah?" Tatsuki replied.

"Uhm..." Rukia sighed, feeling very hesitant on saying anything else. "C-can we talk? I mean later in private, about... you know..."

"Shit! Was she there! Does she know!? But I didn't see or hear anyone!?"

"S-sure, after work?" She suggested, her heart beating rapidly all the while.

"What is it that you're talking about?" Keigo asked with a raised eyebrow.

"None of your business idiot. It's just girl talk that's all." Came Tatsuki's frustrated reply.

For the next half hour the girls... and Keigo, passed the time chatting and eating their breakfast. Most of the conversations unsurprisingly were about the orange haired boss, much to the ire of Rukia. Keigo happily listened in on any information about his idol.

Senna currently was telling them about the time her and Ichigo lived together in one roof.

"Wow. It was really fun huh?" Said Orihime.

"Yeah, it was." replied Senna

"Do you visit there often?"

"Yeah sometimes, though admittedly it's been a while. He's just so busy these days it's almost pointless to visit as he spends most of his time here or elsewhere. Plus I wanted to get my own place so I don't feel like some stinking gold digger. " She explained.

"Hm, how did you meet Mr Kurosaki anyway? You still haven't told us ya know." Keigo said. They glared at him angrily except Senna, as if he shouldn't have even spoken. "What?"

"You idiot!" Tatsuki whispered next to him, smacking him lightly on the head. "It's a touching subject for her!"

"It's okay Tatsuki." Senna spoke, her expression sad. "I guess it's about time I tell ya guys."

She closed her eyes and cleared her throat, ready to begin her tale. When she opened them again she was confused as to why everyone in the cafeteria went quiet and stared at the door, including her friends.

Entering the room was none other than Ichigo himself with his usual scowl on his face. He wore his usual long sleeved white untucked shirt and black pants and shoes, laying his black jacket on his shoulder.

"It's 8:58. I want everyone's ass outta here two minutes."

To be continued.

Anticlimatic end, plus no lemon :(

Lol. Don't worry the next few chapters I'll try to deliver.

Also, Bleach is back baybay! I haven't watched it just yet so I better get to it.
