Oh, by the way, I don't own Bleach or any of the characters, except for Kai. None of this actually happens, etc, etc.
It's just an idea for a Bleach story that popped into my mind while taking a shower at 9 pm after taekwondo lessons.
It's a series of short chapters that tells of a war between Gin Ichimaru and the new seventh Espada, Kai Hotaru.
~~~Now read away, and review if interested! :)~~~
Today's target was Kai Hotaru, the seventh Espada. Séptima, séptima, ya don't know what's comin' fer ya. Gin Ichimaru plus boredom was never a good thing.
Gin knew she was a bit naturally curious, and that she washed her face every night with a hot washcloth. That was all he needed to put his plan in action. That, a dried persimmon, and a little bit of help from the eighth Espada.
"Are ya good at potions?"
"That depends…"
"Can ya make a clear, undetectable potion that turns light blue when rubbed?"
"Oh, you make it too easy! Come back in an hour, Gin-sama."

A while later, Gin watched as Kai made her way to the kitchen. He placed the dried persimmon on a small decorative plate and put on the counter, with a note saying, 'fruit for anyone who wants it!' He then relaxed quietly in the corner.
Kai came in and noticed the persimmon. Being, as Gin knew, a bit naturally curious, she picked it up. Holding in the air, she studied it, then took a small bite and shrugged. Gin popped out from the corner.
"I wouldn' eat that if I were you," he said. "Why not? It's for 'anyone who wants it'," Kai said, gesturing towards the note. Gin ignored this, and said, "That's the fruit Granz, the eighth Espada, has been messin' with." "You mean the mad scientist?" Smiling even wider, Gin nodded.
Kai studied the persimmon. "Oh yea? Wha'd he do to it?" "Oh, ya know, he injected it with this weird serum that makes yer irises in yer eyes bleed…" "-yea, right-" "…so what do ya think happened to Ulquiorra, then?" Silence from the seventh Espada. Her light blue eyes studied him.
"…I don't think I really believe that…"
"Believe what ya like. Just Remember. It's not my fault when…" Smile, smile.
Gin walked away, stopping by Granz's lab to pick up the potion. Stealthily breaking into the Séptima's room, he quickly located her washcloth, and spread a few drops of Granz's potion on it. Hello, magical persimmon of iris bleeding.
Now just to sit back and watch the fireworks.

It didn't take long for night to fall and for Kai to get ready for bed. Gin positioned himself near, but not suspiciously close to, her room. He heard rustling, then water running.
And then, the shrieks.
Of course, as soon as she washed her face with the washcloth contaminated by Granz's concoction, the splotches of potion were triggered by the rubbing, and turned light blue - the precise color of Kai's eyes. Thinking of the dried persimmon and Gin's warning …
"…he injected it with this weird serum that makes yer irises in yer eyes bleed…" …
Kai threw open her door, wearing nothing but underwear and a large, baggy blue t-shirt (a plus Gin hadn't … well … only slightly expected), she ran down the hall and hammered on the eighth Espada's lab door.
After much yelling, confusion, explaining, and several cuss words by Kai…
She spotted him. Gin. Smiling, smiling, smiling … and watching the whole scene. And then she knew.
Him…
Whatever Gin expected, it wasn't the slow, menacing smile spreading over her face. She turned around without another word to Granz, and walked back to her door. She reached it, but didn't go in. Instead, without turning around, she said,
"Nice one. But, you picked the wrong person. Just be prepared."
With that, she closed the door to her room, leaving a chuckling Granz (who had pieced together what just happened) and a smiling but slightly confused Gin.
