Oakleys on a Pineapple, Ch.3- In Which There are flower petals.
A/N:Sorry, short chapter, this is mainly filler.
In case you couldn't guess, the 'guests' last chapter were Ed and Al from FMA.
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah... Still not the owner of Bleach.
After giving his mangled sunglasses to Jinta on his way back to Soul Society, Renji was fairly depressed. Not only had he been laughed at by his friends and humiliated by a freaking midget (at this point, Renji could have sworn he heard cussing from far away...), but he had spent a month's wages on his new sunglasses, only to have them turn into a freak show! He supposed he should be wondering what the hell those kids had been doing, but he was too depressed to think. Just because he was considered too smart for the eleventh division, didn't mean he was ready for the twelfth (he wasn't evil or insane enough, either).
As he walked past the seventh division's barracks, Iba walked out to meet him. "Hey Renji, did you buy new sunglasses yet? You know, until you do, we can't let you back in the club!"
Renji's already gloomy face darkened further. "Yeah, I bought them..."
"So, where are they? Give them up for inspection!" At this point, Kira and Hisagi seemed to pop out of thin air, wearing not much other than towels and sunglasses.
"Erm... It's kind of a long story. But I don't have them anymore." Renji then proceeded to explain the events of the previous day, while trying to ignore his friends, who were rolling on the ground, laughing. Their hilarity grew so loud, eventually other shinigami gathered to hear the joke. After listening for a while, Ikkaku and Yumichika separated themselves from the crowd.
"So Renji," began Ikkaku, "You really had trouble from a human midget? And a wall? Seriously, man, you should have just listened to your instincts. Or head-butted the wall. Or both."
Yumichika sweatdropped. Even for Ikkaku, that was pretty bad. "No, Renji, you were right to give up. I just hope you did it beautifully."
Now, it was Renji's turn to sweatdrop. He wasn't even sure how to reply to that...
Later, in the 6th Division office
"Renji."
"Yes, Captain?"
"I hear you tried to buy new sunglasses."
"Yes... why?"
"I forbid it. It is a disgrace to the division, and therefore also to the Great House of Kuchiki."
"Me wearing sunglasses is?"
"Yes. You will cease in your attempts to buy sunglasses."
"Or what?" Renji was getting slightly annoyed.
Apparently, Byakuya was, as well.
"Shire, Senbonzakura."
From far away, Renji's screams could be heard as he promised never to do it again. If Byakuya had been a bit more thorough in his trouncing, he would have noticed that Renji's fingers were firmly crossed...
