Azra was awoken by her phone ringing. She jutted her arm out from underneath the covers and retrieved the loud annoying device. She opened her eyes to see who would be calling her at such an ungodly hour and saw Byakuya's name.

"What?"

"You woke me up. What do you want?"

"We've all been here all night. Why?"

"Someone did what!"

"Well it wasn't us. We wouldn't egg your house."

I don't know. Someone other than us"

"Fine. We'll come help."

Don't call professionals. We're free"
"Okay bye"

Azra hung up the phone and rolled over to lay her head on Grimmjow's chest. He was still sound asleep. She almost passed back out listening to Grimmjow's heartbeat but forced herself to get up. She walked down the hall and into the kitchen, making a pot of coffee. She curled up in her chair and snoozed while the coffee brewed. Ikkaku began to stir as the smell of coffee began to waft throughout the house. He rolled off the couch where Yumichika still slept and shuffled into the kitchen, eyes still closed. He was followed shortly thereafter by Ichigo, also groggy from sleep. The sounds of cabinets opening and coffee mugs brought Azra back from her almost asleep state and she joined the two men in their quest for coffee. After everyone returned to the living room Azra spoke up.

"We're going to Kuchki's as soon as everyone's up," She announced, "Someone egged his house last night so we're gunna go help clean up."

"Who the the fuck would do that?" Ikkaku asked.

"Yea. Byakuya looks like the type to kill someone over that," Ichigo commented.

"I dunno. He thought it was us though," Azra responded.

"What!?" Yumichika chimed in, "We would never do such a thing."

"Not to him," Azra smiled, remembering Gin and Toshiro's initiation.

"Did he call the cops?" Grimmjow grumbled, walking in from the kitchen, "I'm not goin' if he called the cops."

Azra stared at the man silently as he approached her. She got up and allowed him to take a seat in her chair, but didn't sit in his lap. Instead she continued staring at him.

"What!?" Grimmjow asked dramatically when he noticed her staring.

"When the fuck did you get up?" Azra asked.

"Just now. Why?" Grimmjow responded, confused.

"Why did you do? Teleport into the kitchen?" Azra threw her hands up, almost spilling her coffee.

"No. I walked. Like a normal person," Grimmjow explained slowly.

Azra shook her head and sat in his lap, mumbling something about ninjas. All the commotion woke up Ayame who was now shuffling into the kitchen for the last cup of coffee. Everyone stayed silent until Ayame made her way into the living room and sat in her chair, cradling the cup of warm liquid.

"We gotta go to Kuchki's today," Azra explained to her friend, "Someone egged his house last night."

Ayame stared at her friend blank-faced, "I'm not going."

"Why not?" Uryu asked, finally speaking up.

Ayame didn't respond. She only stared at Azra expressionless.

Azra nodded, "Understood."

She looked emotionless to the guys but Azra could read the look on her friend's face. She was still understandably mad at Toshiro and didn't want to run into him at Byakuya's. Azra, on the other hand, did. She planned to have a talk with Toshiro. She wasn't sure what she would find out, or how she would handle it, but she wanted to sort this whole thing out. Having Ayame stay home would make things easier.

"Well we're gunna need your car then. I can't cram all these fuckers in my car," Azra smiled.

Ayame nodded in understanding, "Uryu can drive my car."

"S' you can have a silent conversation with Ayame but can't answer my question about the cops?" Grimmjow questioned.

"Nope," Azra smiled.

"Nope what?" Grimmjow asked, "Nope he didn't call the cops or nope you won't answer my question?"

"Nope," Azra smiled even wider.

Grimmjow growled at the lack of an explanation but didn't push it. He knew he wouldn't get an answer out of her. So he settled with setting his chin on her shoulder and sighing.

"So what are you gunna do today?" Azra asked conversationally.

"I dunno," Ayame sighed, "Just chill out I guess."

Azra nodded, "Alright then. Let's get ready and head out. We've got cleaning to do!" Azra announced to the group.

Everyone scattered to get ready.

The group arrived at Byakuya's house and were met with quite a sight. There were eggshells all over the front porch and yard, dried smashed eggs littering everything. It looked to be about five dozen eggs. But that wasn't what caught Azra's attention.

"You didn't mention toilet paper. You said it was eggs," Grimmjow mumbled from the front seat as he stared out the windshield.

"He only mentioned eggs," Azra responded as she exited the car, eyes transfixed on the two large oak trees in Byakuya's yard.

Both trees were covered in toilet paper, literally. The branches were barely visible due to the large amount of toilet paper, the higher branches sporting less toilet paper, but it was there nonetheless. How someone got toilet paper up so high was beyond her. The trunks of the trees had toilet paper wrapped around them, completely covering the wood underneath. This job had to have taken at least 20 rolls of toilet paper. But that was just the trees. The porch was also covered in the paper. It was wrapped around the railing leading up the stairs as well as the chairs and any other furniture on the porch. This must have taken at least another 10 rolls. Someone put some thought into this.

"You didn't mention toilet paper," Uryu commented as he exited Ayame's car and approached. Azra who still stood next to her car, assessing the situation in front of her.

Azra turned to Uryu and sighed, deciding not to repeat herself. The group all exited the vehicles and stared at the carnage that was Byakuya's front yard. Byakuya and Renji walked out onto the front porch to greet them. They both sported sweat pants and plain white sleeveless t-shirts.

"You didn't mention toilet paper," Azra called out to the older man.

"I wasn't expecting an offer to help," Byakuya explained, "I simply wanted to know if you were behind this."

"Wasn't us," Ichigo piped up from behind her.

Azra nodded in Ichigo's direction in agreement.

"How do you wanna tackle this?" Azra asked Byakuya.

Byakuya looked around for a moment, "Well you know the capabilities of these guys better than me. I think you would be better at deciding that."

Azra furrowed her brows and thought for a minute. She then turned to the group behind her, "Ok guys this is how it's gunna go. Ayasegawa, Ishida, you two tackle the porch with Kuchki. Kurosaki, Madarame, you two start picking everything up in the yard. Eggshells, toilet paper, whatever. Get some trash bags. Grimmjow, Abarai, you two get in those trees and get as much toilet paper you can without killing yourselves. I'm going to go get Ichimaru, Kira, and Hitsugaya to come help."

The group spread out and started getting to work. Yumichika and Uryu got some gloves from Byakuya to start scrubbing the dried egg off the windows and house. Ichigo and Ikkaku acquired some large lawn bags and started picking up the yard. Renji leapt into the a tree and began climbing. Grimmjow walked back to Azra's car and retrieved a speaker from the glovebox, planning on playing some music. Azra walked over to Toshiro's house to recruit them. She knocked on the door and waited. Gin was the one to answer the door.

"Hey Azra. What's goin' on?" Gin greeted the girl.

"I need you guys' help next door," Azra explained, "Someone TPed Kuchki's house so we're cleaning up. We need all the help we can get."

"Shit. Okay, I'll get the others and head on over," Gin responded seriously.

Azra turned and headed back to the project at hand. Grimmjow had linked his phone to the speaker he'd retrieved from Azra's car and proceeded to blare Slipknot. Byakuya visibly stiffened and his eyes widened.

"I have neighbors," Byakuya growled at the blue-haired man.

"Neighbor," Grimmjow corrected sarcastically.

Byakuya's eyes closed into slits and was about to argue when Gin and Izuru walked up.

"No worries," Gin called out, "Ol' Man Yama went out of town a few days ago."

"Then we're clear," Azra looked over to Byakuya, ready to defend Grimmjow if need be.

Byakuya 'hmpfed' but didn't pursue it. Instead he turned and grabbed some cleaning supplies, getting to work on the porch. Grimmjow grinned evilly before leaping in the tree not occupied by Renji.

"Where's Histugaya?" Azra asked Gin.

"Still pretty hungover," Gin shrugged, "He wanted to sleep. Looks like shit."

Azra peered over to Toshiro's, "Imma pay him a quick visit. Help out wherever you can."

Gin shrugged and found something to clean along with Izuru.

Azra didn't even knock this time, she just walked in like she owned the place.

"Hey, Hitsugaya!" Azra yelled.

No response. She searched the house until she found his bedroom.

"I'm comin' in so cover up your junk," Azra warned before opening the bedroom door.

She found Toshiro laying in bed, looking rather rough. She had seen him hungover before, thanks to her, and he hadn't looked this rough.

"What's goin' on?" Azra asked as she turned on the bedroom light.

Toshiro winced at the unexpected light, motioning for her to turn in off. She didn't. Instead she sat on the bed and gave him time to adjust to the light. She wasn't going to sit in a dark room alone with her best friend's kinda boyfriend. That was weird.

"I've got a raging headache and my stomach is completely fucked. I'm so nauseous right now," Toshiro groaned.

She furrowed her brows, "What did you drink last night?"

Toshiro sighed, "Just some wine. Like three glasses."

"Well that doesn't make sense," Azra mumbled.

"What?" Toshiro asked.

"The first night we met i poured Everclear down your throat until you were slurring and you weren't this bad off the next day," Azra explained, "You shouldn't feel this bad over a few glasses of wine."

Toshiro sat up, "What are you saying?"

"That bitch may have drugged you," Azra growled. Toshiro was still one of the men, regardless of his recent actions. This wasn't acceptable. She would pay for this.

"No no no," Toshiro waved his hands in front of him vigorously, "Momo wouldn't do that."

"Why are you so quick to defend her?" Azra asked as calmly as she could, feeling like she sounded like Ayame.

"I just," Toshiro deflated, sighing deeply, "I guess I pity her. She's crazy. I know that. But she was so torn up when I ended it. I felt like it was all my fault."

"It was all your fault," Azra deadpanned.

Toshiro turned to her in shock, "What!?"

"Well," Azra chuckled at Toshiro's reaction, "You broke up with her. So technically it is your fault, but it's also your fault for what happened last night. You kept in contact with her. You let her into your house. And now you messed things up with Ayame."

"What's your point?" Toshiro snapped, not happy with Azra calling him out.

"You need to let Momo go," Azra started, "The more you contact her the more of a chance she thinks she has. Stop caring about her. If you want her to move on and live her life, if you want anything to work out between you and Ayame then you need to tell Momo to fuck off. And you need to mean it."

Toshiro looked down and processed what she had told him, "Ok," He spoke after a few moments, "I'll cut her out, completely."

Azra nodded and stood up, "Good. Now get some rest. I've left them alone over there for too long."

Azra began to leave when Toshiro stopped her.

"Wait!" He shouted, "What about Ayame? How do I…"

"Talk to her? Apologize to her?" Azra asked, "That's on you. I'm not getting in the middle of that shit. I don't wanna die."

Azra left a shocked Toshiro to stare at the now empty doorway.

Azra walked back to to Byakuya's and was met with quite a sight. Grimmjow and Renji were up in the trees and were hoping precariously limb from limb removing toilet paper as they went. Both had removed their shirts and Renji was obviously distracting Byakuya. He was wiping the same spot on the porch over and over, eyes glued on the redhead. Grimmjow was dropping limbs on Ichigo and Ichigo was yelling up at him. Uryu kept a safe distance from Grimmjow. Ikkaku was headbanging to the music while Yumichika watched on disapprovingly. It seemed Gin and Izuru were the only ones still cleaning. Azra looked up to a half naked Grimmjow and grinned deviously, drinking in the sight. Grimmjow noticed this and stopped throwing stuff at Ichigo.

"Like what ya see?" Grimmjow grinned wolfishly.

"Only if you stop throwing shit and do what I asked you to do," Azra called up to him.

His expression changed to a pouting face. Azra walked up to the tree to get closer to him.

"You know I like seeing your body," She winked up at him.

He smiled again, winking back before getting back to the task at hand. A lot had been done. The porch was clean thanks to Gin and Izuru. There was still quite a bit of toilet paper in the yard but almost all of it had been retrieved from the trees. She was silently thankful she wasn't around when Grimmjow and Renji got the toilet paper from the tops of the trees. She didn't want to know how they had gotten up there. Ichigo, Gin, and Izuru finished up the yard in no time, leaving it looking better than before.

Everyone lounged in various spots in the yard or on the porch drinking lemonade Byakuya had made. Ichigo and Uryu sat in the yard with Gin and Izuru conversing about Izuru's pregnancy. Ikkaku and Yumichika leant against the privacy fence, Yumichika whining about being sweaty. Grimmjow and Renji, both still shirtless, lounged against the trees. Azra and Byakuya sat on the stairs of the porch, Byakuya sitting a couple stairs lower.

"Any idea who did this?" Azra asked as she lit up a cigarette.

Byakuya shook his head, "No. I thought it was you guys."

Azra looked at the man, "I know sometimes it may not seem like it, but we do respect you. We wouldn't do something like this to you."

He could hear the sincerity in her voice. He looked up at her and could see it in her eyes as well. He had wondered if she was going to disapprove of him at first. It wasn't going to stop him from pursuing Renji but he knew Renji would look to her and Ayame for dynamic of the group was unusual. He saw it for what it was now though. These women looked out for these men. They were a family. A crazy, dysfunctional family. And he was happy to be accepted into it.

"Arigato," Byakuya looked out upon his clean yard.

Azra stared at him silently.

He looked back up and smiled, "Thank you."

"Oh," She smiled back, "I'm getting the hang of it. Arigato is thank you. Baka ka is stupid idiot. Not sure what Aishiteru means yet though."

Byakuya blushed and looked away. He spotted Toshiro approaching from his house. He had his eyes trained on Azra. The men tensed as Toshiro got closer, unsure where he stood in the group at the moment. Grimmjow sat up and watched the smaller boy intently. He ignored the obvious tension and walked up to Azra.

"You may wanna see this," Toshiro held his phone out to Azra.

She grabbed the phone and read the open text on the screen, "I hope you enjoyed your new lawn decorations Shiro. I had a few friends deliver them for me ;)"

"Who sent this?" Azra asked, positive she already knew the answer.

"Momo," Toshiro responded before turning to Byakuya, "I'm so sorry. I guess her friends got the wrong house."

Byakuya held his hands up, signaling he wasn't upset. Azra began responding to the text.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Toshiro exclaimed.

"Getting even," Azra responded as she sent the text.

'Looks fine to me. Guess you missed. Try again'

"What the hell?" Toshiro began, "Now she's just gunna come egg my house!"

"Hey Ishida!" Azra called out.

Uryu looked up, "Yea?"

"Take Ayame's car back to the house and bring back the paintball guns and as much ammo you can find," Azra ordered.

Uryu nodded and headed out along with Ichigo.

"Kira!" Azra called next. As he approached she stood and pulled some money from her wallet, "Take my car and go get as much gear as you can."

Izuru and Gin left shortly after.

"What are we doin?" Ikkaku approached Azra along with the remaining men of the group.

Azra waited till everyone was within earshot. She leaned in, "We're getting revenge."

OMG it's complete! Ok I'm already working on the next chapter. I should have it up in a week or two but I promise nothing. I wish I could but work is very unpredictable and something may prevent me from continuing. But I will try my hardest to get the next one up asap. I hope you enjoyed! I sure did!
