It was a few weeks after the Hollow attack and most of the Shinigami had gone back to Soul Society and Kise had had to, unfortunately, go back to school. Things weren't so bad however. Koruichi had been one of the Shinigami that had volunteered to stay, and he had been required to attend school with them. Kise also just happened to have all of her classes with him.

The weird girls at school hadn't taken any time in fawning over the poor boy however. And Koruichi, not wanting to offend any of them, start a fight, etc; ended up staying stuck to Kise most of the time. (With four certain captains trailing after them.)

The days went by boringly, uneventfully, and of course boringly until the week of Valentines came up. The school was (unfortunately for some people) having a dance the that certain day, and it just so happened that Koruichi and Jacqueline just sooooo wanted to go. The two of them spent most of lunch, P.E., and other talking time to try and persuade their... not as obsessed friends to go.

--

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeassseee?"

"Yeeah. Preetttyyyyyyy pleeeeeeease?"

"No!" Kise, Jaclyn, Lee Ann, and Minhthu snorted in reply.

Koruichi and Jacqueline were still trying to persuade the other four girls to go to the Valentines Dance (even if they only had a day left to do it), and trying to eat lunch peacefully.

"Awwww but why not?" Jacqueline whined.

"Because dances are for sissies, a Valentine's Dance is for major sissies (A/N: No offense to anyone), and we need to train," Lee Ann put it simply, but not convincingly enough to get Jacqueline and Koruichi to shut up.

"Awwwww what kind of excuse is that?"

"You should know better," Jaclyn said absentmindly. "You, Jacqueline are the 9th Division's Captain...well one of them, and you Koruichi. You should really know better. Coming from the Shihouin family, and of course, being the 3rd Division's Vice-captain. You two should be ashamed of yourselves. What would Yamamoto-sama and Yoruichi-san say?"

"Oh? My sister?" Koruichi brightened at this. "We could just ask her when we go back to Urahara's today!"

"NO."

"...I dunno you guys," Minhthu said, with a distant look on her face. "It could be a little fun...wouldn't it?"

Jaclyn suddenly went into the same look as Minhthu. "Hmm...yeah we should, shouldn't we?"

"Yeeahh..." Now, the only one left to convince was Kise. And they had to buy the tickets that day.

"Oh no. You are so not getting to me!" Kise jumped up and ran off. "Haha suckers. Good luck trying to get me." She suddenly bumped into something hard and fell on her ass. "Owieeee...Hey jerk! What'd you do that for?" She looked up and saw one of the hottest guys she'd ever seen in her whole life, holding his hand out to her.

"Oh. Sorry. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." He pulled her up, and they looked around awkwardly.

Meanwhile...back with the others...

Jaclyn sighed. "That so didn't work."

"What? What didn't work?" Lee Ann said. "Oh...that didn't work."

"Baka!" Minhthu yelled at her. A toungue was stuck out in reply.

"Wait...What're you guys talking about?" Koruichi asked.

"Trying to set you and Kise up," Jacqueline said, not looking at him.

"WHAT?"

"What? We can tell you like her."

"Yeah. We can totally tell."

Koruichi started blushing and said, "No I totally do not."

"Uh huh...Whatever. It's obvious she likes you too," Jaclyn said, smirking.

"What? She does? ...I mean...no she doesn't."

"Really? Then what're you going to do if that guy over there asks her out?"

Koruichi spun around and looked. Hard. There she was. Talking and laughing with a guy in the quad. "Noooooooo!" He jumped up and ran towards the two of them.

"Wow. That didn't take as long as I thought it would," Jacqueline laughed.

"I wonder what he'll do if he finds out that guy is Yoruichi-san?"

They exchanged a look before bursting into laughter.

--

Kise had been peacefully talking with the guy when, all of a sudden, Koruichi suddenly popped out of nowhere, catching his breath. She didn't see, but the guy was smirking now. "Haha. Well, as long as you're alright. Ja ne!...I mean, later!"

"Koruichi, are you alright?" Kise asked, looking at the poor guy weirdly.

"Yeah...I...am..." After a few minutes, when his breathing finally came to a steady pace, Koruichi suddenly blurted out, "Yawannacometothedancewithmeeeee?"

"...Sorry?"

"You want to come to the dance with me?" Koruichi suddenly blushed and looked away. Kise started blushing too. He just asked me out! Aaahhh! What do I say? What do I say? What do I saaaaaaay?

Say yes. It's obvious you like him.

Who the hell is that?

It's me, Kangetsu! Baka!

Meanie. But, I'm too nervous to say it!

Just say it!

Okay, I'll try...

"Umm...Koruichi?" He looked up. "Ummm...I'd love to go..." Both of them started blushing badly and ran off in different directions.
