Disclaimer: I gnarley- do not own Bleach for if I did I would probably not be writing this story! And It would probably be total crap and no one would love it as much as now with Tite Kubo writing it! ALTHOUGH, if it takes him another 17 chapters to 'Decide' I am going to seriously hit someone :3 thank you.

Wonderful people I would love to thank:

AN: Well... do we need to call 911 because of the fact I actually updated this story and people are now out there having heart attacks thinking :O Oh my God she's not dead? :P Because really what was going through my mind when I said I'll update soon I was really thinking hmm maybe I'll wait five months because that's just how I am…

I am sorry for leaving this for so long and this chapter can't be as long as it normally would, but hey it's an update isn't it? Well I hope you enjoy it! :D!

Mai was rather disappointed with her trip to the Material World. The explanation given to her and Yachiru by the Head Captain and Jushiro had made it seem like the Real World was dangerous and exciting and made it seem like something would have actually happened but instead it was lame and boring. The most exciting part would have been when the strawberry kid kicked his father in the face and that wasn't saying much.

When the large group had arrived back in the Soul Society all three of Mai's friends were standing in front of the Senkaimon waiting for her arrival and dragged her away without even acknowledging the others presence.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" cried out Mai as she was dragged to the Kuchiki manor.

"Wait until we're inside before you start screaming," replied Aria ignoring Mai's protests and attempts to pull her arm out of Aria's grasp.

Inside Saya's home the woman of the eleventh division shifted uncomfortably in her seat as a servant poured tea. "I probably shouldn't be here Sayama. I pissed your brother off pretty bad this morning."

"Don't worry. Brother won't interrupt us."

"Well you hope," mumbled Mai. "Why did you guys drag me here in the first place?" she asked looking around at Saya, Sora and Aria.

"It's been awhile since we've all sat down together," began Sayama and Aria finished.

"So we decided to have dinner together when you got back."

Mai exchanged confused looks with Sora both thinking the exact same thing, How the hell do they do that?

"I would have thought you'd want to see your sister again," stated Mai furrowing her brows together at the youngest Noble.

"I'll see her later this evening. Now let us enjoy this tea while we wait for out meal," replied Sayama with a smile as she brought her cup to her lips.

Everything was silent for quite a few moments, as the girls enjoyed their tea, but soon the silence made Mai very irritated. "I fucking hate tea."

"Calm down Mai, tea never did anything to you, now did it?" commented Aria with a smirk. The masked woman didn't receive much of an answer other than a scowl.

"So Mai, what was this business you had to do?" asked Sora trying to ease the tension.

The tough woman softened her complexion and looked at her friend. "Well really it was Lieutenant Kusajishi's assignment but really all we needed to do was go to the World of the Living and bring back a bunch of people from the Soul Society and some Strawberry kid."

"Sounds lame," scoffed Aria, placing an empty tea cup on the table. "I thought it was going to be more interesting than that."

"Says the woman who spends all her time in a dark cold lab on a computer," spat Mai.

"I guess people never change," commented Sora to Sayama as they watched the exchange between their two friends.

"For your information I do much more than working on a computer," growled the scientist in reply then thoughts of the days earlier events rushed into her mind causing her to blush, not that anyone could see from behind the mask. "It's more than you can say for you basically spend your day lying around sleeping or fighting."

"Why you little Bi…" but before Mai was able to finish her sentence the door to the room slid open to reveal a slightly frightened girl.

"I um, I- I'm sorry to interrupt Miss Takahashi but I must serve dinner," said the girl bowing respectfully at the angry woman before her.

Mai glared at Aria one last time before she stood up and walked towards the door. "That's alright, I was just leaving anyways."

"Why do you always for to start a fight with her?" questioned the youngest Kuchiki as she watched the woman slam the bamboo door closed.

"Because it's amusing and easy to do," Aria replied the smirk on her face growing larger than before.

-:-

Mai stormed her way to the Eleventh division cursing her friend the whole way. Aria always knew what buttons to push to make her lose control and Mai knew she was doing it, but she couldn't stop herself from become angry it came easy to her.

As she made her way through her divisions barracks she passed the Squads training room hearing shouts coming from within, Mai stopped and looked at the door to the room, deciding whether or not to go in to check what was going on. Contemplating for a minute Mai opened the door to the training room only to see the Orange haired kid fighting with the bald headed man from before.

"What's going on in here?" called out of gruff voice from behind Mai, causing her to jump and looking behind her to see Captain Zaraki and Yachiru standing in the door way as well. Kenpachi glanced down at Mai before moving his gaze up to see what all the racket was about.

"Ichigo," called out the man seeing the orange haired teen. "I see you're in the mood to fight, why don't we have a little rematch."

Mai widened her eyes and looked up at the Captain and then narrowed her eyes at the teen mumbling under her breath. "Because he doesn't have a death wish."

From the corner of his eye Kenpachi glared at his new recruit having faintly heard what he had said.

"Are you crazy?" cried Ichigo. "You'll kill me."

"Come on you have Bankai now, you defeated me without it!"

Mai's eyes narrowed more as she listened to the blood lusting man beside her talk. Just how strong was this substitute soul reaper that he was able to defeat him without Bankai.

"I didn't defeat you, we both almost died!" shouted the kid again, slowly backing away towards the window as the Captain made his way to his opponent.

"But we are both alive now so we can finish it."

"But we're on the same side!"

"Uh… is this normal?" asked Mai as she looked to Yachiru who was still beside her.

"Yup," cried Yachiru in a cheerful voice. "Kenny had the most fun fighting Ichi! Ichi was able to cut Kenny!"

"Interesting," replied the woman with a smirk on her face. "Too bad the kid seems reluctant to fight 'cause I would sure like to see it."

"Why don't you fight Kenny, Maya?" asked Yachiru smiling at the woman she had grown to admire.

"Uh… not happening."

"Why not? You know Maya come to think of it you haven't exactly fought since you first got here," commented the pink haired girl.

"I may like to fight Lieutenant, but I value my life enough not to fight the Captain, and behinds there hasn't been a training session since I got here," replied Mai crossing her arms over her chest and closed her eyes.

"Hmm… that's true."

"Hmph, he does the every time," grunted the Captain as Ichigo escaped out the window.

"Are you going to go after him, Captain?" asked the bald headed man… what was his name again?

"If he's not going to fight it's not worth the chase, Ikkaku," answered Kenpachi as he walk back towards, Yachiru and Mai, followed by Ikkaku and Yumichika.

"So, Yachiru did get experimented on by Captain Kurotsuchi?" questioned Ikkaku as he eyed the pink haired woman in front of them.

"Tch – unfortunately, you're in charge of keeping guys hands off of her, got it?" said Kenpachi glaring at Ikkaku for the way he was looking at his 'daughter'. "Any female questions… ask the woman."

"What?" shouted Ikkaku and Mai at the same time.

"It's not like I can answer them, it's either that or you can go to her little woman club and ask questions."

"Oh! The Shinigami Woman Association that's right," exclaimed Yachiru jumping up and down. "I have a meeting soon! Maya you must com-

"No."

"But –

"No way."

"Plea-

"No way in hell, Yachiru. You can't make me."

*************
One Hour Later
*************

"I can't believe she made me," grumbled Mai as she sat next to a livid Aria, having gotten over their little spat the moment they saw each other in the meeting room. The two angry women sat in the corner glaring at everyone who dared look their way never mind talk to them.

"Yachiru?" questioned Aria.

"Hmph," grunted the busty woman in reply. "What about you?"

"Lieutenant Kurotsuchi, she's like Kusajishi's partner in crime," replied the scientist as they glared in the direction of pink haired demon and her sidekick.

"Alright everyone listen up!" shouted Yachiru making sure to get everyone's attention and then pointed at the fuming woman. "Today we have to new members joining us."

Receiving a glare from Aria and a snarl from Mai, Yachiru hesitated for a moment and then continued. "Buuut you get to know them later, now Vice President Ise please tell us today's news."

As the bookish woman began talking Mai eyes widened as she looked over at Aria. "Does that mean my Lieutenant is the President?"

"I believe so," replied Aria, furrowing her eyebrows at her friend's question.

Mai's eyes widened in surprise before she shouted still trying to whisper. "Who the hell would make her the President of something like this?"

"Ahem." The woman with the glasses cleared her throat glaring at the two women who in return stopped talking and glared at anything in their sight. "As I was saying today – much to my detest – we are rating the most well-known men of the Soul Society."

"Really?" said Mai as she deadpanned. "This is what you guys do with your time? Rate how hot guys are?"

Even though everyone in the room heard her, they all ignored her and continued on as if nothing was said.

"Now where to start?"

"Oh! How about my Captain," cried out the busty strawberry blonde lieutenant. All the women in the room stared at Rangiku not knowing what to say.

"Err… that would just make me feel like a pedophile," commented Aria looking around at the rest of the people in the room who nodded in agreement.

"Fine then," said Rangiku pouting and crossing her arms. "What about you Miss Masked face, who would you, consider good looking?"

"Aria… and I am from the Twelfth division, I don't really have time to be looking at men," replied Aria mimicking the Tenth Lieutenant by crossing her arms. The others cringed at the thought of the men in the Twelfth division, there probably was little to no good looking men there.

"Well what about your friend, does she have her eyes on anyone?"

"Mai?" snorted the masked girl as she looked at her friend.

"I don't know any men," grumbled Mai not really wanting to talk about it.

"But you're in the Eleventh Maya! There has to be one guy there you think is good looking," stated Yachiru.

"Every single one of the guys in the division have weird hair styles, Yachiru – or no hair at all," replied Mai, her last statement causing the pink haired girl's cheek rosy a little. "The only guy remotely good looking in the squad is the Captain…"

"You like Kenny?" screamed Yachiru in excitement.

"No, as I was saying either that or Yumichika, but everyone knows he cares more about his appearance then he would a girl… or guy for that matter, the man is practically asexual."

The candy loving lieutenant pouted and stared at the woman talking. "Are you sure you don't like Kenny?"

"I am as sure about not liking the Captain as I am about your crush on the Third seat not zip it." Mai's statement caused several different reactions throughout the room, most woman were staring at Yachiru or Mai with their eyes wide open, Yachiru was beat red from either embarrassment or anger and Rangiku was killing herself laughing.

"Oh, my… Ya – ya-… chiru, has a- a-a crush on I-Ikka-Ku," cried out Rangiku in between fits of laughter. "That is just too good, and to think you guys hated each other when you were a child, of this is too good."

"Shut up," mumbled the Pink haired President glaring at Rangiku.

"I wonder what Baldy thinks about your transformation since the last time he saw you, I bet he's surprised that's for sure."

-:-

"What's on your mind Ikkaku?" asked the most beautiful man of the Eleventh division (self-proclaimed that is) as he walked out of his room to see his friend deep in thought looking at the sky.

"Oh… umm…"

"Is it a certain pink haired young woman?"

"What… why… what makes you think that?" replied Ikkaku whipping his head around to look at his best friend, shocked by his accusation.

"It was quite obvious when you first saw her in the world of the living you found her attractive, before you even found out she was Yachiru. So now tell me what you're thinking about, obviously it's bothering you."

"I never once thought about Yachiru growing up and becoming a woman, a good looking one at that. I was freaked out about it at first for how much she's changed and now after being back here for a couple of hours I realized she's still the annoying pest she used to be and yet… I as much as I hate the nicknames and the things she says, I find myself unable to see her as the girl I despised and hated so much."

Although at the moment it was supposed to be sincere and sweet it was all ruined when Yumichika began to laugh uncontrollably as he tried to answer. "Oh my, Ikkaku, who knew you, could be so deep."

"Shut up, Yumichika! Way to ruin the mood," growled the bald man as he continued to glare straight ahead.

It took a while but when Yumichika was able to calm down his face became serious and he looked to his best friend and partner. "I may not be an expert on these kinds of things and nor can I tell you why or how you are feeling, but maybe you should try and get along with Yachiru, you never know things might change."

And with that the two sat in silence staring off as the sun began to set and moon and stars were the only things left in the sky.
