Disclaimer: same thing as in previous chaps
A/N: I know this chapter sucks but I'm kinda running out of steam and thought of ending it here.
In the long and extensive history of Soul society, a good many powerful shinigamis had existed, who had shaped the sereitei as it is today, but none commanded such fear and respect as the Women shinigami association. It had irrevocably changed the fate of the Gotei 13 through bold actions such as demanding cute designs for all accessories, arguing for the use of hell moths instead of larvae and a petition to allow Hisagi wear a customised uniform as well as to allow Abarai keep his long hair and tattoos. Today it has met the greatest challenge since its founding (which happened when Yachiru and Soi Fong met and both of them realised that the standard shinigami items did not have any pink objects), Byakuya Kuchiki who was voted as the hottest male shinigami had not yet agreed to pose for a photo album.
After three failed attempts and one person missing in action (Rangiku Matsumoto whose fate hangs on the balance of the temper of Hitsugaya), the girls decide to band together and find a ploy to breach enemy territory. The Kuchiki mansion's entrances had been barricaded and the personnel is high on alert, while the intended victim is indulging in his secret passion for shonen manga and debating whether to put an end to his bachelor status. They initially decided to bully Yamamoto sou-taichou by threatening him with revealing his hentai magazine obsession in the soul society but someone had misplaced the confiscated porn material (Yachiru had been in charge for safe keeping for some unknown reason and their solid evidence had mysteriously vanished), but since they already used this several times and now they only had empty threats, they had to find another solution.
They then turned towards one their active members: Nemu Kurotsuchi who had at her disposal an arsenal of technological weapons, but unfortunately all her proposed plans ended in their model's gruesome and painful death. They had been tempted to give consideration to the plan of cloning the elusive captain then realised the conflict that would arise when faced with the question of who would keep the replica. They next went to seek the counsel of their not so active member Unohana-taichou who was often too busy to attend the meetings; Isane thought that her superior could help them to come up with a drug to persuade him. The eyes leader of the 4th division shone briefly but out of professional ethics refused to comply. She did ask to be sent a copy in case of success.
They then had no choice but to ask the help of the person who held most influence on their victim: Rukia. They had to wait until early evening when the petite girl came back with a badly beaten Abarai in tow.
"I can't believe that Ichigo and you could act so immaturely! You could have killed that poor guy; it was just a peck on the cheek."
Ishida had finally gathered his courage to ask Inoue out but being dense as always the busty girl had thought it was a group outing and asked Tatsuki to come along, and that freaky girl Chizuru hearing about a date decided to tag along! Keigo in his wisdom volunteered Ichigo and himself to balance things out. To mollify Ichigo, Ishida suggested asking Rukia too. Ichigo had brightened at this idea and contacted her, but his face fell when he saw Renji tag along but it was at least better than last time when Byakuya himself had turned up to escort her, Kenseikan and all. Ichigo had thought that he would die mobbed by females or sliced by senbozakura before the end of the day. He did gain an insight on how somebody could have pulled a stunt like Aizen's when in a war time situation a captain was learning how to use a fork to eat.
The date had turned out ok except for the last bit, when parting Ishida kissed Inoue on the cheek. The silly girl asked why he didn't kiss all the other girls goodbye and panicked, the Quincy started doing that. When he reached Rukia, both Renji and Ichigo punched him. Finding an excuse however flimsy both rivals turned on each other. If Sado had not turned up unexpectedly it would transformed in a blood bath. Renji had followed a furious Rukia through the gate, knowing that far worse awaited him once they were home.
Luckily for him as soon as they were back a group of girls surrounded them with a request for Rukia. He took advantage of her inattention to slip away, as he walked by the sereitei he noticed the 8th division tied to a tree which was weird even for him and a little further away he noticed Hitsugaya drenched and muddy grinning evilly walking with unusual gaiety. Perhaps Ichigo's punches did have some effect on his head but a lot of weird things happened in soul society; like when they had discovered a load of hentai magazine under Yumichika's bed, who'd have thought the guy was capable of normal behaviour? Or how everybody went around normally despite the fact that a maniac who wished to dominate the world was threatening them except for the special captains meeting where everybody would play rock, paper, scissors and the loser had to do guard duty (well his subordinates anyway, luckily for him Kuchiki-taichou excelled at the game). He dismissed as being one of the quirks of living here.
Rukia found her brother in one of the small sitting rooms deep in thought. She had been surprised by the request of the Women shinigami association and frankly doubted that he would agree to it but she had promised to try at least. She presented him the request.
"Oh, that's what they wanted?" he replied thoughtfully, "I'll agree only if they promise to buy me the latest Naruto manga"
Rukia was flabbergasted but pleased, her entry in the selective association was guaranteed, and Chappy was going to be a whole lot present in the sereitei from now on.
As she was leaving she was even more surprised to hear his last question:
"Umm, Rukia, do you think Unohana-taichou would agree to date me?"
So all is well that ends well in the Sereitei, except for a spot of trouble due to the rupture of stock of the photo album. Byakuya finally went on a date after more than half a century and meanwhile Aizen was bored. Gin had taken the hoogkyou to use as a crocket ball, Tousen was meditating and Grimjaw and co were poring over the photos of his former colleague. Summoning the two most reliable Arankaru (those not drooling over Byakuya), he decided to wreak some havoc. As they left he thought: Heck if I knew that Hueco mondo were so boring, I would have stayed in soul society to discuss Sou-taichou's collection with him.
P.S: A large number of shinigami are still searching for Matsumoto and Renji had to go to the 4th division healing facility with numerous cuts and fractures (courtesy of Senbonzakura) because
he had annoyed Rukia
he had laughed at Byakuya's plight as model
