Updated once again I hope you enjoy this one. It's a lot of dialogue so don't kill me. There is an introduction to some bands, hope it isn't too confusing. We discover the identity of Byakuya's potential girl, hmmm... who could it be? So many questions are answered here. :) I hope you enjoy!
The next day, our beloved teens are on their way to Las Noches, and with a lack of luck for Rukia, Miako volunteered to ride with her and Ichigo. Rukia was situated in the back, while Maiko sat the passenger seat enveloping Ichigo's arm between her owns and leaning her head on his shoulders.
"Are we going to meet the Shinigamis?" Maiko asked batting her eyelashes at Ichigo.
"Uh- I'm not sure ... is there something in your eye's, Maiko?" Ichigo asked staring at her for a minute before directing his attention back on the road.
"No?" Maiko asked a bit irritated, "Anyway why can't we meet them, she knows them doesn't she?" the blonde pointed at the raven haired girl in the back seat.
"I don't know if Rukia knows them or not but it really doesn't matter." Ichigo sighed.
"Why not, I don't understand. Can't you guys just automatically win the stupid contest" Maiko huffed.
"We don't want to get signed because we know the baby sister of the company's owner, we want to get signed to a label based on our talent and skills." Ichigo let out, "Do you understand?"
"Not really, but if you want I can pretend I do." Maiko told the driver.
"Like you pretend that's your natural hair color?" Rukia smirked.
"Ya the same way you pretend you eat" the blonde smiled back at the petite girl.
"Like how you pretend those are your real breasts." the raven-haired girl barked.
"Exactly the same way you pretend you're not jealous of me being with Ichigo." retorted the taller girl.
"Ya the way you pretend that you're not just his rebound!" Rukia yelled.
"Great, since the both of you are so great at pretending, than let's pretend that you two actually like each other." Ichigo reasoned, not wanting to drive with the distraction of the two blue-eyed rivals lashing out on one another.
"Whatever, as long as she doesn't say anything to me or about me were cool." Rukia crossed her arms.
"As long as I'm with my Ichigo I'm happy." Maiko said lovingly which made both Ichigo and Rukia want to gag.
Elsewhere...
'This doesn't make any since I'm usually by myself or with Orihime. So why on earth do I keep ending up with Renji lately!" Uryuu thought angrily to himself as he could see Renji and Tatsuki making out in the back seat as he looked at the rear view mirror of his Mercedes.
"Uryuu are you excited or nervous about the competition?" Orihime asked thoughtfully to her boyfriend as she looked up at him with endearment.
"A little bit of both actually." Uryuu answered truthfully.
"I thought as much. You know Uryuu when I first met you in elementary school I thought you couldn't get scared or nervous. You just always looked calm doing whatever, and you were always the best at whatever you set your mind to whether it be school, sewing, music, etc." Orihime told him, "But then I got to know you in middle school, and bit by bit I saw you more as a human than the cold facade you usually give out."
"Are telling me this to get my mind off my nerves?" Uryuu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, is it working?" Orihime asked.
"A little" Uryuu confessed.
Finally elsewhere in the blue convertible...
Miyako was finding it difficult to concentrate on the road, after all her was giving her butterfly kisses all along her neck,"Ka-Kaien" she moaned.
"You were amazing last night" he whispered millimeters from her ear before his tongue claimed her earlobe.
"You really are too much of an distraction," Miyako smiled.
"Good I want me to be the only distraction in your life." Kaien continued down her collarbone which earned him a moan of pure ecstasy.
"Y-you have to stop... be...fore I crash" Miyako told him.
"Okay" he whispered in her ears and gave his brunette girlfriend a final kiss on her tender neck.
They arrived to the club at ten o'clock in the morning, they did after all have to get there early. They stepped into the club and saw the place was semi packed with garage bands just like them. A blonde girl with blue eyes, who couldn't be no older than the sixteen, and a red ribbon in her hair walked up to greet the band, "God don't tell me you're all in a band?" a bit taken back that there was nine of them.
"Oh, no" Orhime explained, "My friends and I" Orhime pointed at the three not in the band, "Tatsuki, Miyako, and Maiko are not in the band."
"Really, then you guys have a lot of groupies" She joked to the band with a wink, "I'm Minako"
"Orihime" the redhead introduced herself.
"I'm Kaien this is my twin brother, Ichigo. Our drummer Renji, guitarist Uryuu, and our singer Rukia." Kaien introduced the rest, "We're Bleach"
"Interesting name, I'm the singer in my band the Sailor Scouts" the blonde told them.
"Is that the rest of your band?" Tatsuki asked pointing at the other young looking girls in brightly covered school uniforms attempting to look conspicuous spying on their singer.
Minako scratched the back of her head, "Uh, as much as I wish they weren't I have to confess they are. Guys stop being idiots and just say hi!"
"Hello I'm Ami and I play the guitar" The girl with the blue hair and eyes with an outfit to match.
"I'm Makoto the bassist" The tallest girl introduced herself, she was only a couple inches taller than Orihime, these girls weren't the tallest in the world. She had brown hair worn in a pony tail and green eyes matching her outfit.
"Hey, I'm Rei and I'm the lead guitarist" the ebony haired girl greeted the group her eyes looked the same shade as her hair and she wore a red outfit.
"And I'm Usagi" the girl in the pigtails smiled she wore a blue and red outfit, "I play the drums."
"Ya she's an idiot" Rei sighed, "So you're are competition." She spoke examining them.
"I'm not an idiot Rei!" Usagi scoffed.
"Sure, so were are you guys from?" Rei asked interested.
"K-Karakura" Uryuu pushed up his glasses a bit nervous at the younger girl's interrogation.
"No need to be afraid of Rei she won't hurt you." Makoto laughed.
"How old are you guys?" Miyako asked inquisitively.
"We're fourteen, what about you?" Ami informed them.
"Sixteen, so you guys locals or what" Renji asked the group of girls.
"Ya we're locals, so you guys better watch out." Minako winked.
"This is boring when do we get to be on TV?" Maiko complained tugging at Ichigo's arm.
"We aren't going to be on TV for the last time dibshit" Rukia barked.
"Well, you certainly are not you always have an attitude, just because your jealous because Ichigo chose me over you!" the blonde retorted.
"You have no idea what your talking about you fucking idiot, why don't you go on another shopping spree like yesterday?!" a vein popped on Rukia's forehead.
"They're worst than Rei and Usagi" Makoto whispered to Ami and Minako.
"I know how unfortunate for the band, but it's understandable that Ichigo guy is pretty hot" Minako whispered back.
"Shouldn't they not fight over a guy like that, isn't friendship more important?" Ami muttered.
"No, I think that Maiko chick is just one those girls that think they're better than everyone else." Rei joined in, "They don't look like they were ever friends in the first place."
"Tell me about it, if I had someone oogling my Mamoru I'd freak" Usagi added.
"No one's going to oogle Mamoru" Rei rolled her eyes.
"You did before we got together." Usagi huffed.
"Oh, please whatever, you really think just because you snagged a college boyfriend makes you better than me!" Rei yelled.
"I didn't say such a thing!" Usagi denied.
"You implied it meat ball head!" the ebony haired girl raged.
"If your insecure about yourself Rei than maybe you should get a boyfriend!" the blonde huffed.
The rest of the teens just stood there a bit embarressed of their friends acting like idiot in front of everybody and quite ashamed to be associated with them.
"Can you keep it down some people are nervous enough as it is!" yelled a a short blonde girl with freckles.
"We're sorry, but it's kinda difficult to stop those two when they get started." Ichigo pointed at Rukia and Maiko.
The blonde smacked Ichigo with her flip flop, "I don't care how hard it is Dickhead, their obviously fighting because of you so stop it or I'll make both of your girlfriends end up in the emergency room" She barked.
"Bitch" Ichigo muttered.
"Hey Hiyori chill out for a sec" said a slender man with a blonde bob, this earned him a slap with the sandals.
"Shinji! Are you okay?" Asked a green haired girl.
"He should be alright, Mashiro. Love, Rose, Hachi, Lisa!" A silver haired man called out.
"What Kensei?" the man with the afro asked.
"Looky what we got here" Kensei smirked.
"If the other bands are annoying as these two I don't know how we will make it through the three days" Lisa sighed.
"Who are you guys?" Tatsuki asked.
"We're the Vizored" Rose simply stated.
"This is so annoying" Kaien sighed.
"If your bands want to stay in the competition you should quiet down" the creepy voice seem to appear from absolutely no where. Everyone stopped in their tracks including all of those participating in the quarrels. All the members of the Sailor scouts, the Vizored, and Bleach stared up at the white-haired man who resembled a snake, "I'm Mr. Ichimaru I work for the owner Mr. Aizen, please keep it down or I will resort to means most unpleasing to you" then he left satisfied with their reactions.
"Can someone say creepy?" Tatsuki said aloud.
"Sadistic" Renji added.
"I hope we don't have to have another conversation with that guy." Ichigo scratched his head.
The three bands went their separate ways as they prepared themselves for the most important event of their lives, but then a group walked in, dressed in all white. This caused Rukia to freeze dead in her tracks,"... Ashido"
"Guess they weren't lying when they said they'd show up" Ichigo gawked at the band of eight.
"Who are they?" Renji asked, 'I wonder why Rukia looks sort of ... scared'
"It's Ashido's band" Rukia sighed.
"Rukia, I'm so sorry... can I-" Miyako attempted to comfort her friend, she was afterall the only one who knew the entity of her relationship with Mr. Kano.
"I'll be fine, Miyako" she sighed, 'can't let him know he still scares me, I can't.'
"Hey look it's the Queen and King." Horse smiled one of his almost unbelievable wide and absurd smiles, "And what do we have here your bands larger than ours?"
"This is Tatsuki, Orihime, Miyako, and Maiko; they aren't in the band, but Renji, Uryuu, and Kaien are" Ichigo pointed at everyone standing up dominant next to Horse.
"My pleasure on meeting them... Buttercup, Princess, Cinderella, Paris Hilton, Baboon, Dragon, and King Neptune" Horse nodded.
"What?" Maiko asked in confusion and this time the feeling was shared throughout the rest of the band.
"Don't mind him" Ichigo told his friends, "he gives everyone names."
"Anyway, excuse my creepy bandmate, I'm Ashido as two of you already are aware of. This is my band, Horse, Halibel, Nel, Grimmijow, Cirucci, Szayel, and Ulquiorra." the maroon haired man informed the band, "Nice to finally meet you all, I've been waiting."
"Really what a coicindence because I've been waiting to meet you too" Miyako said defiantly standing in front of Ashido.
"Rukia, you've been telling stories about me I presume?" he asked the petite girl.
"Don't talk to her, you don't deserve to speak to her" Miyako stood her ground next to the taller man.
"Miyako what are you doing?" Kaien asked standing next to his girlfriend.
"Giving this asshole a piece of my mind," Miyako stated.
" 'Asshole'? Your getting influenced by Ichigo too much." Kaien reasoned.
"No, Kaien calling him an asshole is actually being kind to his character" Miyako informed her boyfriend.
"Um.. excuse me, but will all the members of Bleach follow me." said a voice from behind.
"Nemu?" Miyako asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Job, I told you I'd be in town, now less talking and follow me." she took off to towards the back room of the club, and everyone followed even if it was a bit reluctant.
"That's great then it would be easier for you to get to know Byakuya." Miyako smiled;
"What? You mean the guy your trying to hook me up with is the owner of the company?" Nemu asked wide eyed.
"Ya, why not? He's actually a lot more warm-hearted than most think when first meeting him." Miyako reassured.
Ichigo scoffed then Rukia jabbed him in the ribs.
"I can't, my dad's working on the whole sound system and special effects and you know how he is" Nemu reminded her.
"Nemu your 25 years old when is he going to let you live a little?" Miyako asked frustated.
"Honestly I don't know" Nemu sighed.
"You need to stand up against him he can't keep this up" Miyako told her.
"I wish I could" Nemu said quietly.
"Excuse me but how do you know each other?" Tatsuki asked.
"We're cousins" Miyako told her, "Our mothers were sisters"
"Were?" Uryuu asked.
"My mom died during childbirth" Nemu answered.
"Oh, sorry" Uryuu felt sympathetic.
"Oh, no it's fine" Nemu reassured,
"Where are we going?" Rukia asked.
"Someone asked for a Rukia Kuchiki and her band, so I'm only doing my job," Nemu told them as she knocked on a door at the back of the club.
"Who's there?" A male voice asked, that was familiar to Rukia however she couldn't quite put a face to it.
"It's me, Nemu, I have the band you asked for, Sir" answered the green eyed girl.
"Well, hurry up and let them in" another male voice called out.
"Of course," Nemu opened the door.
"OH MY GOD!" the entire band screamed with the exception of Rukia, Uryuu, and Ichigo who instead could only gap.
"Wow, Rukia an interesting group you got there." Ikkaku laughed.
"You-your t-the Shin-Shinagmais" Orihime felt dizzy stating the obvious.
"Yes, yes we are" Shuuhei smirked.
"Omigod it's Shuuhei, I'm standing in the same room as the Shuuhei Hisagi" Miyako felt like passing out.
"Ya, I kinda have dibs on him already." Senna said almost indifferently.
"Senna! It's Senna!" Tatsuki said.
"I can't believe I get to meet Ikkaku, It's an honor" Renji said sincerly.
"What they mean is that we're fans of all of you Ikkaku, Yumichka, Senna, and Shuuhei. Really we are" Uryuu told them
"I think I died and went to heaven" Maiko said winking at Shuuhei who disregarded this.
"Well, that's enough praising, really we just want to get know the people who actually formed a band with our little snow princess." Yumichka told the group.
"Who?" Maiko asked, the answer was obvious to everyone else.
"Rukia, Blondie" Senna told her indifferently, she could sense Rukia wasn't found of her and if her Rukia didn't like a girl, Senna would show her no remorse.
"It's Maiko" the sky-blue eyed girl answered glaring at the orange-eyed girl.
"Anyway, more intros? I'm getting bored." Senna almost ordered.
"Oh, I'm Miyako" the tall girl answered.
"So, your the childhood friend" Shuuhei examined her.
"Uh... ya" she smiled.
"Anyone else?" Ikkaku asked.
"I'm Renji and this is my girlfriend Tatsuki" The red-haired teen quickly told him.
"I'm Orihime and that's my boyfriend Uryuu." she smiled cheerfully.
"And I'm Kaien and this is my brother, Ichigo" the blue-eyed man told them.
"Really, Kaien and Ichigo got girlfriends too?" Senna asked curisously.
"Um ya, Kaien's with me, and Ichigo is with Ru-... uh I mean Maiko" Miyako answered.
"Interesting" Senna said tracing her index finger and thumb around her jaw.
The next hour or more the bands continued to converse, sharing funning incounters and Rukia got to catch up with what the band was up to in the past month in a half and vice versa. In the end the group was divided. Ikkaku was with Renji, Tatsuki, and Ichigo. Yumichka was talking with Uryuu and Orihime. Maiko was trying to work her charm on Shuuhei with no avail. Senna was with Rukia, Miayko, and Kaien.
"So, you hate Maiko because she's with Ichigo don't you?" Senna asked her petite friend.
"What makes you think that?" Rukia asked her friend with a glare.
"Cause it's obvious" Kaien muttered.
"Kaien" Miyako warned.
Senna laughed," You two are too cute, reminds me of when me and Shuuhei got together."
"Senna that was only two in a half years ago." Rukia pointed out.
"True but whatever, back to you and Ichigo, he's kind of cute" the orange-eyed girl stated.
"What about us?" Rukia asked.
"Do you like him?" she simply asked.
"I don't know" Rukia sighed.
"Ya right you like him, there is no way of getting around that Rukia" Miyako told her.
"She has a point" Kaien said after setting his coke down on the glass table.
"Okay fine I do but it doesn't matter anymore he's with Maiko" Rukia sighed.
"Then why is he staring at you right now?" Senna asked. Rukia was about to turn her head to see the orange-haired teen when Senna stopped her, "No, don't look then he'll turn his attention to something else, use this." Senna pulled out a mirror.
"Are you serious?" Rukia asked.
"He's such a sweetie isn't he?" Senna asked as Rukia glanced at the mirror positioning it until she saw a glimpse of orange, and there he was staring at her direction with a smirk, not even interested in the conversation Renji, Tatsuki, and Ikkaku were having. A faint smile played out on Rukia's lips.
"Ichigo a sweetie?" the raven haired girl asked putting the mirror down.
"You should know first hand about that now shouldn't you?" Miyako asked with a smirk.
"What are you implying Miyako?" Rukia asked a bit irritated.
"Nothing, um who gave you that Chappy necklace again, Rukia, the one around your neck the one you wear everyday?" the taller teen questioned.
Rukia blushed, "It has nothing to do with him! I just really like Chappy and you know that!" she said defensively.
"Anyway Rukia way don't you pull Maiko off of Shuuhei?" Senna pointed.
"Gladly." The petite girl got up and walked over to the pair.
"Good now that she's gone." Senna laughed devilishly while she fiddled her fingers together as if she were a villan.
"Senna, for a small girl you scare me you know that." Kaien laughed nervously.
"So we have a plan to get Ichigo and Rukia together, am I correct?" Miyako asked.
"I like the way you think, Miyako, this operation will require the participation of all members of both Bleach and the Shingamis" she told them and motioned the couple to come closer to here her plan.
So what did you think? Did you enjoy it? Nemu- ya bet you didn't see that one coming, how did that happen- my brain is just wacky. Yes I have the Viz's of course how couldn't you their one of the funniest and most perplexing bunch in the entire Bleach cast. Yes the Sailor Scouts, what can I say, I grew up watching SailorMoon and yes I used their Japanese names, sense this does take place there and all. What will be Senna's devious plan to get Ichigo and Rukia together. Only time will tell so stay tuned in. I can't wait in a couple of chapters or maybe the next I will elaborate, into much detail Rukia's past in New York and her relationship with Ashido and why she's afraid of him.
-by guys hope you're still curious cause Spidergoth is bidding you farewell
