Chapter 4, here we go!

The party was going on smoothly, except for Kira puking once on the table after the sake incident.
Ishida had set up a tattoo both, offering to do designs on the spot or doing pre-made tattoos. When it was Shunsui's turn, he said, "Where's the tattoo I ordered?" "Here," Ishida brought out the one Ichigo had seen earlier on. Shunsui beamed. Then he whistled, "Oh, Nanao-chan! My angel!"
Nanao rushed over. "Yes, taichou?" She said.
Shunsui sucked in his cheeks and said, "Come and have your arm tattooed! We'll have halves to join us together!" "What tattoo?" Nanao said warily. "It's a s-e-c-r-e-t!" Shunsui said and pulled down into a chair next to him. He whispered something to Ishida. Ishida nodded and pulled on some gloves. Then he made Shunsui and Nanao stick out their arms.
"Oh!" Nanao winced in pain, as Ishida ripped off the plastic. "Hey, you be careful with my fair lady!" Shunsui warned, wagging finger in Ishida's direction. "I'm not your fair lady!" Nanao hissed- then she saw the tattoo on her arm. "I did it like you asked," Ishida said plainly. "Your half on Shunsui-taichou and his half on you." Nanao froze into ice and then shattered.
"TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIICHOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hitsugaya took his cup of sake and drank it down. "It's a wonder why you don't get drunk, Shi—Hitsugaya-kun!" Hinamori corrected herself quickly. Hitsugaya said, "That's because I don't drink sake or any kind of alcohol often."
"But that should be precisely why you have to get drunk!" Matsumoto said. She sipped her sake. "Matsumoto, stop drinking," Hitsugaya said sharply. "You're getting drunk already!" "So it's true!" Hinamori gasped. Matsumoto was already very red in the face and her voice was a bit slurred. No, not a bit. A lot.
"You seem to be getting drunk, too, Hinamori," Hitsugaya said irritably, looking at her very pink face.
"Hmm? I'm not…I don't know…" Hinamori murmured, drinking more sake. She smiled at Hitsugaya. "Have you eaten the rice balls Inoue-san made? They're delicious!"
"I don't really have the appetite for rice balls with beef, umeboshi and mayonnaise," Hitsugaya said. He took a taiyuki and gave it to Hinamori. "Thank you, Shiro-chan!" Hinamori said happily. She clapped her hand over her mouth once the words escaped her mouth. "I'm so sorry!"
"It's…ok," Hitsugaya muttered. Hinamori's hands went down. She looked at Hitsugaya for a moment. Then she smiled.
"Hitsugaya-kun?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to get a tattoo from Ishida-san?"
"…Ok."
Matsumoto smiled wryly as the two of them set off. "They're developing," she thought. "Soon their relationship will be in full bloom!"

Yumichika was giving makeovers with the make-up and perfume Inoue had lent him. Matsumoto was the first one. "Would you like the cherry lipstick, the strawberry lipstick or the plum lipstick?" He asked.
"Strawberry."
"Would you prefer the lime green eye shadow, the pale pink, the wild brown or the sky blue?"
"Pale pink."
"Which do you like, a pale blush, or a dark blush?"
"Pale."
When the makeover was finished, Matsumoto was pleased at her new look.
"Next!" Yumichika called.

Yachiru was snacking on every single thing on the table. Kenpachi said, "Which one's ya favourite?"
Yachiru answered, "Taiyaki, dango, takoyaki, kuzumochi, dorayaki, anpan, anmitsu, yokan and the onigiri!"
"That's nearly all of them." Kenpachi said. "I know!" Yachiru chirped. "I just don't like the weird onigiri with the beef, umeboshi and mayonnaise."
Fortunately, Inoue didn't hear what she said.

Rukia went over to the blaring music player to lower the volume a bit. She saw Byakuya dancing like a chimpanzee. She went red in the face and, trying to smother her giggles, gasped, "Nii-san!!! You're…you're dancing like a…! Oomph!"
Renji was videotaping Byakuya's dancing. Byakuya noticed this and stopped dancing. Renji guffawed, "HA HA HA HA HAR!!! THIS IS CLASSIC!"
Byakuya withdrew his sword and sliced the video recorder in half. "Etto…" Renji laughed uneasily.
Rukia had an idea. "Hey, let's all play a game!"
"Huh? What game?" Hanataro said.
"Well, wouldn't you like to know…" Rukia said with a sly smile.
