Ahh…chapter 6…sorry to say, the party's ending soon. Stay tuned for the last (or second last) chapter!

Rukia and the others went back inside the house, filling the living room again. "What are we going to do, Rukia-san?" Hinamori asked. "Let's have an eating contest!" Yachiru squealed. "That's not a bad idea!" Rukia said, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, let's have a pie eating contest! No, a cake eating contest!"

"Oh, yay!" Yachiru shrieked with delight.

"You're not allowed to participate, Yachiru," Rukia said firmly. "You and I will be the judges, and I'll order cakes from a confectionary! Lots of cakes!"

Yachiru's smile disappeared. Then she said, "But will I get cake too?" Rukia nodded. "Yay!" Yachiru cried again.

"Wait, whose money are you gonna use for the cakes?" Ichigo asked, sensing something was about.

"Yours, of course," Rukia said, as if Ichigo was an idiot. "WHAT? No! You always use my money!" Ichigo shouted in protest. "Don't be selfish," Rukia snapped. She grabbed the phone and the phone book. She called Azuru's Cakes. To everyone's horror (except Yachiru, which in her case, was sheer joy), Rukia ordered 100 cakes. "ARE YA KIDDING ME???" Ichigo bellowed like a bull. "We might need extra," Rukia said defensively. "They told me they were having a special 10 cakes for 2,000 yen, so it'll just cost 20,000! What's the difference?"

"You are so dumb," Ichigo hissed. "WHAT WAS THAT?" Rukia yelled and kicked him as hard as she could in the head.

"Hey, hey, no need to fight!" Yoruichi said. "That's right, you listen to Yoruichi-sama, or you'll get it from me!" Soi Fon growled threateningly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After only 10 minutes, the cakes arrived. The delivery lady was a hot one, with an especially low low-cut and a short miniskirt. "Thanks, babe," Shunsui said, smooching up his lips. "Hey, want to come in for some sake with me, gorgeous?" Nanao whacked him one with her fan.

"How'd you do the cakes so fast???" Matsumoto said, backing away at the big giant cardboard boxes of cakes. "Oh, these were made in advance!" The delivery lady said cheerfully. "The order took up every one of our stock! Well, 20,000 yen, please!" Ichigo sighed and took his wallet. He knew he had only 5,000 yen, but Isshin always left his wallet lying carelessly around, so he said to the lady, "Can you hold on a minute? I'll get my wallet." He grabbed Rukia's arm and dashed upstairs.

Everyone a few minutes of searching, Isshin's wallet was not to be found anywhere. "Great! He probably took it along with him for a beer at the pub!" Ichigo cried, tossing papers and pens everywhere on the desk.

"What about that big safe over there?" Rukia pointed at a grey metal safe. "I don't know the code," Ichigo replied.

"What do you need the code for?" Rukia walked over to the safe. Her fist shot out and broke right through the safe. Bits of metal and the lock flew through the air. "What the hell??" Ichigo goggled at the broken safe.

Nestled comfortably and neatly in the safe were stacks of money. Lots and lots of them. "Wow, that's rich!" Rukia said, awed by the presence of so much money. "Quick, let's just get the 20,000 yen!" Ichigo started ripping bands off the money and counting out 20 1,000 yen notes.

When they got the money they sped out the door and down the stairs. The delivery lady was flirting with Ishida. "Here," Ichigo panted, thrusting the cash at her. "Thanks!" She shot Ishida a toxic smile. "Bye, have fun eating you cakes!"

Ishida drooped when she left. "C'mon, let's start the eat-all-you-can competition!" Rukia said, her fingers swiftly untying string from all the boxes as quickly as she could. "There's even chocolate gateau!" Yachiru said happily.

"Who will volunteer as the first round of cake eating competitors?" Rukia asked loudly.

"I will!" Kira said bravely, sweating a little. "You? You're too chicken!" Matsumoto gave a shrill laugh. "I'm in the competition!"

"Me!" "I want to do it!" "Me, too!" "And me, too!" "Me, three!" "No way! I'm going!" "I wanna do it!"

"Ok," Rukia took down names on a clipboard. "So, participants would be Kira, Matsumoto, Shunsui-taichou, Ganju, Hanataro, Renji, Kenpachi-taichou, Yumichika, Ikkaku , Yoruichi and…Inoue! Is that all? No more? Right!"

Together, Rukia and Yachiru (with a little help from Ichigo) brought down tables and chairs and set all the cakes in a corner.

Rukia blew a whistle and said, explaining, "Ok, people! You have 10 minutes to eat as many cakes as you can! When you have finished a cake, someone will help to give you another cake! My assistant, Yachiru, will take note how many cakes each person has eaten! Puking, food poisoning, or dying will not be my responsibility!"

Yachiru took out a timer. "Ready?" She called. "Go!" Yachiru set the timer. All the contestants dove into their cakes. Yoruichi was the first one to finish her first cake. "Next!" She shouted, and Rukia grabbed a cake and pushed it at her.

"Yo-Yoruichi-sama!" Soi Fon gushed, her eyes sparkling and her cheeks pink. "You're so talented! So praiseworthy! Go, Yoruichi-sama, go, Yoruichi-sama!"

Ikkaku threw his cake plate aside and received the next cake. "GO, BALDY!" Yachiru cheered. "Don't call me Baldy!!!" Ikkaku shouted, spilling crumbs.

Shunsui licked the icing tentatively, then started chomping huge bites. "This taste like sake! I love sake-flavoured cake!"

"Ah…I believe that's lemon and yoghurt cake, taichou," Nanao corrected.

Next to Shunsui, Kira was frantically shoveling cake into his mouth. When he took his third cake, he went pale green. Then he shot out of his chair to the bathroom. "AND THAT'S THE FIRST ONE DOWN!" Rukia yelled, jotting down on her clipboard.

One after another, the participants dropped like flies. After Kira, it was Hanataro, then Matsumoto, then Shunsui, then Yumichika, then Yoruichi (this caused Soi Fon to burst into floods of tears), then Kenpachi, then Ikkaku. So it was down to Inoue and Renji.

While Renji seemed to have superior chomping skills, Inoue was lightly inhaling cake after cake. "Hurry!" Yachiru shouted. "One minute, two seconds left!"

Renji chowed down the cakes faster. Inoue swallowed the cakes down. Then, when Inoue was finishing her twentieth cake, Renji burped, finished the crumb of his twelth cake and dropped from his chair in defeat.

Everyone erupted into applause. "Inoue is the winner!!!" Rukia announced. "The champion of twenty cakes, Inoue Orihime! What do you have to say, Inoue?"

Inoue wiped her mouth with a petite lace handkerchief and smiled from ear to ear. "I could eat twenty more right now!"

And so, the cake eating competition drew to a close, with crumbs and icing smudged all over the house.

Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Finally here! So sorry I took this long (One whole week!!! Can you imagine??) to update. I've been very busy.  Anyway, I have concluded this chapter. Inoue is amazing. She eats like no one I have ever seen. Ah, well. My apologies, I think I have made Soi Fon a little to…crazy? That's an understatement.

Yosh! Sayonara!
