So I never thought I would hate my birthday so much. You know, besides the whole getting abandoned, tried for treason, and hunted like an animal. But today… today was horrible. And the climax of the story was a combination of two simple words. Two words that I've dreaded every time I heard them.

"Happy Birthday!"

… Okay so maybe I'm starting in the middle of all this. So I guess to explain this more clear I'll go back to this morning

Earlier that morning…

"About the other day…" Sasuke mumbled, leaning against the hinge of the door to my room like some kind of super model god.

I cover my face with my pillow, "Don't you dare have one of those conversations with me," I groaned, "You were drunk. End of story."

He cleared his throat, "It's more than that. I kissed you."

"Yes, right after you threatened to kill me. Funny how that works." I throw the pillow at him, which hit him in the face and fell to the floor.

He didn't budge or flinch, "Yuki…"

"Look, Urahara lets you live here because he's sympathetic for you and your situation. I already cleared things out." I snapped, not meeting his coal eyes that would send my heart into a fluttering rampage. "So we are a house mate, that's all."

He ran his hand through his hair, sighing, "Well, Toshiro is coming over again today. And I just want to warn you Rangiku is bringing a few friends."

There was a loud thump when I fell off my bed, landing on my ass. "What?" the scene of the double-kiss catastrophe replayed over and over in my mind.

And the thing that made me even more nervous was that I liked both of the kisses.

I just didn't know which one I liked more. "When are they getting here?"

"About ten minutes ago." Momo peeked over Sasuke's shoulder, a smile planted on her face, "Morning Yuki!"

I nodded at her and rubbed my hip, standing up slowly. "Okay, so I assume there are plans today? And since you both are here I guess I'm involved."

"Yep!" Momo chirped, pushing Sasuke aside and grabbing my wrist, dragging me into the hallway and towards who knows where.

I grabbed Sasuke's arm and pulled him with me, "If I go down, I'm taking you with me!" I hissed.

So Momo led her chain into a room filled with balloons and streamers and whispering friends of mine scattered throughout the room. Along with some random guy in the corner who looked like he might strangle the next person who talks to him. Creepy.

I frowned and crossed my arms while glaring at the white frosted cake, "What is this?"

"It looks like a party." Sasuke whispered in my ear, which earned him a dirty glare and an elbow to the gut.

He grunted and I turned to the sober Toshiro. "What is all of this?"

He looked nervously towards Momo before sighing then lifting his hand which caused the group of people to start the uproar of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"s. My cheeks flushed as they all returned to their own business. Toshiro lifted a can of what I assumed to be alcohol and took a big swig, walking over to Momo and starting small talk.

I turned towards Sasuke and thumped the ex-crazy boy in the back of the head. "Did you know about this? I swear if you did I'll kill you. And it will be painful."

He rubbed the back of his head and looked towards the ceiling. "Captain Yamamoto queued me in on it last night after you went to bed."

I gaped, "Capta- Grandpa is here?"

"Yeah, what's so bad about that? He's your family."

"She's still strung up about the situation where the Captain attempted to kill her." The creepy man who was in the corner said as he walked towards us.

"What th-"

He cut me off, "She also doesn't like the fact that he's so jealous of her awesome double-zanpakuto power."

"Excuse m-"

He kept talking with his monotone voice. "She thinks he will cause a scene about how she's too powerful and needs to back down."

Sasuke blinked in confusion as the stranger kept talking. Me on the other hand, my fist shot out and punched the boy in the mouth, sending him flying into the captain of squad two.

"Who the hell are you, ya creep?" I screamed.
