A/N: I'm sick. As in really really sick. I've got a fever, I'm dizzy, headache, nausea and a whole lot of other shit. So this chapter really really sucks... I think.
Anyways, thanks for your comments. I appriciate them a lot. And you who read this (you selected very few... i think) are welcpome to come with suggestions with things Renji could think and muse about.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. (except the lame ideas)

Chapter 6… Tattoos

Tattoos. Tattoos were awesome in Renji's opinion. That was why he had them, well… not completely because of that reason, but part of it. Sure, if you got one that didn't fit you too well or if you got it when drunk and regretted it afterwards, then it was damn hard to remove. That was probably the only bad thing about them.

The reason that Renji was even thinking about this wasn't because of his own tattoos. He'd seen those a million times, he even knew their lines when closing his eyes. Oh no, it wasn't because of them. As Renji remembered it, Matsumoto Rangiku had somehow managed to con Ichigo and some of the other minors into drinking some sake. The shinigami's had gotten drunk to, it was fun after all.

After that, the memory was kind of blurry; he remembered standing on a table swinging his bright yellow shirt with purple stripes around in the air, and someone doing pretty much the same thing next to him. Next, he and the other (whom he assumed was Ichigo) supported each other as they went into some bright white place. After that, everything was just a blur of colours and sounds.

The next thing Renji knew, he was waking up somewhere, on a floor. His head was pounding and he could hardly move, his hangover from the night before was actually that bad. He groaned and twitched slightly before trying to get up, nope, no luck with that.

After about 10 minutes of trying to sit up, Renji managed. NOW he recognized his location. He'd been sleeping on the floor in Ichigo's room. Oh and speaking, or more like thinking, about Ichigo, he was there two, his upper body lying on the bed and his lower body on the floor. Interesting.

This was when Renji notice something. On his left shoulder blade, Kurosaki Ichigo had a tattoo! Renji tried to get to his feet; he wobbled before slowly making his was to Ichigo's bed. He sat down on it and squinted with his eyes as he looked at the tattoo. Then he snorted in laughter, before bursting out in laughter that echoed in the Kurosaki resident.

Tattoos sure were great in Renji's opinion. Not only could they make you look good, they could also represent success or telling the world that you were in love with someone, they could also be a perfectly hilarious source of entertainment.

Ichigo had awoken now; he was groaning and pressing his palms to his ears, trying to drown out Renji's laughter. Then a brown eye cracked open and glared at the laughing man. After awhile, Renji calmed down enough to realize that laughing like that was not good for your hangover. Ouch.

"What. Was. So. Funny?" Ichigo muttered angrily. Renji simply grinned at him. The grin was wide and slightly sadistically looking. Then he answered Ichigo's question.

"Your new tattoo." That made Ichigo freeze, he stopped moving all together. Oh how fun tattoos could be. Sure, it stings a little when you get them, and you were usually very sore on the spot afterwards, but who cares? They were awesome nevertheless.

Ichigo scrambled to his feet, as he got up he looked very unstable, hangover big time. Then he rushed out of his room, Renji guessed that he headed for the bathroom or something. Now, how could Renji make fun of Ichigo without revealing for the rest of Ichigo's friends about the tattoo? It was perfect blackmail so he didn't want to give it away. He pondered this for while before the peace and quiet was interrupted by an 'AAAAAAHH!' screeched from somewhere in the house. Ouch, that hurt Renji's head.

Renji snickered and grabbed his head, ouch. Ichigo came back, he was hiding underneath a towel, and it looked really hilarious. Then again, Renji could understand why Ichigo was hiding like that. If Renji had gotten such a tattoo himself when drunk, he'd probably killed himself.

Yes, tattoos were great and hilarious at times. And the funniest Renji had ever seen belonged to Ichigo. Because on Kurosaki Ichigo's left shoulder, was a tattoo in form of a strawberry with shinigami written on it in kanji.

Owari

A/N: Yep, that was it... oh yay? I'm going to go to bed now, because I feel really really bad. Oh and this was really short... I know.
