"A party?" Urahara looked up from the rim of his hat.

"Yea.. a dance actually.." Ichigo muttered. Rangiku-san really was going to invite everyone, he thought.

"Hm... How come I wasn't invited?" Urahara asked, half pouting.

Ichigo sighed. "I AM inviting you now."

"Oh." Urarhara smiled.

"But..um..you have to have a partner though." Ichigo stated.

"A..Partner.." Urahara muttered.

Ichigo knew THIS was the hardest part, not only does he still have to find somebody, he still don't know what he was going to wear.

"Can it be ANY partner?" Urahara asked, popping Ichigo's bubble.

"uh... I guess." Ichigo replied cautiously, not know where this was all going. He just hope that Urahara wouldn't come with a pig or something.

"A party you say?" Yoruichi said.

"yess.." Soifon blushed, she can not believe she was really going to ask Yoruichi-sama, "It's at squad 10."

"Squad 10?" Yoruichi looked amused, "My, my, I have always thought that Hitsugaya was a bore. Are you sure he is hosting a party?"

"No, no, no." Soifon shook her head, "Actually Rangiku-san is hosting the party, and I don't think Hitsugaya taicho was informed that the party was going to be at his barraks."

"Oh, well, thanks for informing me, little bee." Yoruichi said with a smile, "I have to go now."

"Uh, Yoruichi-sama!" Soifon called. This was her chance she thought, ask her. "Um.. I was just wondering if you would -"

Suddenly Soifon was staring at a black cat...

"What were you saying, little bee?" Yoruichi asked licking her paws.

"Uh..." Soifon looked faint.

"Kenny, why do we have to bring partners to the party?" Yachiru asked.

"Well, uh, you see... it's because it's a dance and..uh... it would be more fun if you were with someone else, you wouldn't want to be alone would you?" Kenpachi replied.

"uh-uh." Yachiru shook her head.

"It's to prevent ugly people from going to the party." Yumichika said glancing towards Ikkaku.

"What are you starring at?!" Ikkaku looked angry.

Yumichika sighed, "Something ugly."

"Why you -" Ikkaku stood up.

"Enough is enough you two." Kenpachi looked annoyed, "You should be finding a partner rather than dissing each other. And you never know, maybe you guys will end up together."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" The two yelled in unison.

"Nevermind..."
