SECOND CHAPTER: THE DATING GAME

Of Bankai and Surprises.


"Hmm..." Orihime said, watching Matsumoto jump back into the bush she came from in the first place. "... Ishida-kun, what now?"

"Well," You couldn't see his eyes, because his glasses shimmered. "We could go eat ice cream?" He suggested, a bit flustered. Orihime thought about it, then spoke up.

"We could go eat ice cream at my house!" Orihime told him. "I have this new delicious ice cream flavor. It's called green tea and soy bean paste. It's said to be really delicious!"

Ishida looked like he was about to lose his breakfast.

"No, Inoue-san, we could just go to that ice cream stand and get chocolate ice cream." He tried to suggest, pointing to the stand at the end of the park. No way would he go and eat some ice cream that sounded like it came from the garbage.

"Well, okay!" She agreed, tugging onto his arm and pulling him in that direction. "Let's go!"

"Sure, Inoue-san."

"Inoue-san?" Orihime pouted as they walked to the ice cream stand. "We're friends, aren't we? Call me by my first name, Ishida-kun!" She told him, poking him in the shoulder.

"Sure, Inoue-s-...Okay." He said, cracking a slight smile at her. "Orihime-san."


Traveling to the human world: A lot of their spiritual energy.

Two gigais from Urahara's: 3,000 yen each.

Watching Matsumoto scream at her failed plans: Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's the dating game.


"Hitsugaya-taichouuu!" Matsumoto whined into her captain. Hitsugaya grunted as he tried to pull the woman off him. "Egh! Get off!"

"But they... Hisagi-kun and Hinamori-chan will win..." Matsumoto cried out to the boy. "They can't win! They can't!"

"And why not?" Hitsugaya lifted an eyebrow at her as he pryed her off of him. His shirt was wet now. Wet with tears. "They need the money as much as you, don't they?"

"But they're satisfied with everything! Hisagi-kun is pretty much considered of captain-rank because Tousen-taichou isn't here, and Hinamori... Hinamori has someone to protect and provide for her!" She moped, having a feeling that she really wanted to strangle Ishida.

Hitsugaya twitched. "Neh? Hinamori has someone to protect and provide for her?" He irked. "Who... who is it?" He voice was ominously low as the shadows covered his eyes. "Is... Is it... Izuru-fukutaichou?"

Matsumoto didn't say anything, she was to busy getting ready for 'PLAN C'.

"Is it, isn't it?" Hitsugaya was really talking to himself, and that wasn't really helping the fact that he's thinking Kira and Hinamori are together. "Bastard, I'll kill-"

Matsumoto noticed her captain's ramblings and stopped him. "Taichou! It's not Kira-kun!" She told him, almost laughing. "Geez, for a genius, you really don't use your head."

"Well then, who is it?!" Hitsugaya was getting impatient. "C- Captain's orders!" It wasn't a daily thing for Hitsugaya-taichou to force something out of Matsumoto. It was more of a per-hour basis.

Matsumoto clicked her tongue. "Find out yourself." She waved a finger at him. "It should be easy for you. You can go back to Soul Society now." She waved her hands and walked away. "I'm following Orihime-chan."

"MATSUMOTO!"


Soi Fon stood behind a wall, sneakily spying on the 'flash master' Yoruichi, who had come to visit with Ichigo. With her, she held a box of chocolate.

"C'mon, It's now or never, Soi Fon." She told herself as she started to Yoruichi.

Yoruichi turned around to meet Soi Fon. "Eh? Soi Fon?" she asked, glancing at the box of chocolates in her hands. "What's that for?"

"Well... Uhm... Th- This is for you!" She mustered out, throwing the chocolates in Yoruichi's hands. "I have something to say to you."

Pause.

Silence.

Yoruichi stood there. "Okay then. While I'm still here." She said, tapping her foot in impatience. "Soi Fon?" She glanced at the captain.

Soi Fon looked up at her. "I- I love you, Yoruichi!" She spilled out. "I really, really do."

Yoruichi looked at her with a smile. "You're a great friend too, Soi Fon." She patted her head like a kitty. "You really, really are."

Her phone beeped, and she glanced at it. "Oh! Kisuke! I have to go now!" She ran and hand through her hair. "Geez, he's really getting old." She sighed, walking away from Soi Fon. "See ya." She waved, and with Shunpo, she was off.

Soi Fon growled and clenched her fist. "Urahara Kisuke...!?"


(Get ready for some slight OOCness. Remember, this is a humor fic, with a lot of characters. It wouldn't be funny if only the funny characters are funny, always. )


Hitsugaya stormed into Rukongai with a blast. Damn. Whoever's courting Hinamori will definitely get it. He growled as he stepped on the ground near the terrified people nearby.

I wonder who it is. Is it... Ikkaku? He thought. Or Iba! Maybe even Yumichika? No... It might be...

"Hitsugaya-taichou...?" Jiroubou asked as he stepped forward. "Geez, you're scaring all the villagers. What's wrong?" He slapped Hitsugaya on the back lightly, to him.

To Hitsugaya, it was pretty painful for someone who is off guard.

"H- Hey!" Hitsugaya winced, rubbing his sore back. "Why'd you hit me so hard, Jiroubou?"

"Sorry!" He apologized. "I tried to hit you lightly. Oh well." He continued on. "You still haven't answered my question, shorty. What's wrong?" Jiroubou looked at him carefully. "You look tense."

"H..." Hitsugaya gasped for breath. "Hinamori." That's all he had to say. He was too tired to listen, being stressed out from going to earth and back here.

Jiroubou rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hm... Let's try and translate your language." He scratched his head. "Since she's going to the chapel today, Hinamori's... getting married?"

Hitsugaya's aquamarine eyes were wide open now. He didn't listen well to Jiroubou's full sentence. Instead of: 'Hm... Let's try and translate your language; Since she's going to the chapel today, Hinamori's... getting married?" he heard..."Hinamori's getting MARRIED?!" He spat.

Jiroubou was taken aback. "Ne? Was I right?" he blinked. "Ee...eeto. H-Hitsugaya-taichou? Hitsugaya-taichou!" He watched as the angered boy ran straight to the chapel.

Hitsugaya ran, ran and ran. He ran really fast. He was even this close the using his bankai to fly. But it took self-control. He was a very controlled person, he never used his bankai unless he really needed it.

Take that back. "BANKAI!" His Hyourinmaru was a full blast. He wasn't going to let Hinamori get married to some person, when he didn't even know who. Besides, it's only been a day. Why would she get married after a day?! "Bet Wetter Momo..."

He flew to the chapel, where a wedding was held.

BAM! "Stop!"

Everyone stared at him in awe. Including Hinamori.

"Hina... mori...?" He stuttered, calming down and standing on the red rug.

"Shirou-chan," Hinamori pouted. "Sh! You're ruining the surprise party!" she said, holding a present out in front of her. "Sh!"

"For what?!" Hitsugaya asked, a bit annoyed, no, really annoyed, because he only interrupted a surprise party. "What's the surprise party for?!"

"Shh!" She covered his mouth with his hands. "You're ruining the surprise! The surprise birthday party for Urahara-san!" She said. "Didn't you see in invitation behind the SWA rules on that index card?"

Hitsugaya grumbled. Stupid rule card.

"No." He spat, going with Hinamori to hide.


"Surprise!" Everyone appeared from their hiding spots. "Happy Birthday, Urahara!"

Kisuke covered his mouth and gasped in surprise. "How did you know?" he seemed in shock. Yoruichi, one of them who was hiding, came up to him.

"You've been hinting it all month." Yoruichi rolled her eyes and mimicked him. "Yoruichi, my birthday's soon! Yoruichi, do you remember my birthday?Yoruichi this, Yoruichi that. It gets annoying, you old geezer." She stuck her tongue out.

Urahara chuckled. "Well then, you must be old too. You're pretty much the same age as me, Yoruichi-san." he pointed out the obvious.

"Neh?" He glanced at Hitsugaya. "You seem different, somehow. You seem to be angry... and tired. Why?"

Hitsugaya grumbled. "A... wedding." He managed to say out of his gritted teeth. "Nothing... wrong... at... all."


"I love you?" Rukia yelled as she held Byakuya's script paper in hand.

"I love you too?" Ichigo looked at his.

"Byakuya-nii sama!" Rukia whined.

"Byakuya?!" Ichigo bellowed, as he crumpled his paper up.


What an interesting night.
I know I said I'll make the chapters longer, but I have no time whatsoever. That's sad. Man, I was going to wait for FF to fix the alert system, but nah, it's okay. I'll just give it to you now. I hope this chapter's okay. I'm not a good writer,

I'll just update faster then.

Review, and I'll get the next chapter as fast as I can! I might not though, my mom is off for the whole month starting Monday, and I'll have to write it when she's not looking. Pehh.

-Tsukia, tma.
