Zaraki: Ichigo! Where are you!?

Yachiru: Doesn't look like he's here, Ken-chan.

Me: Ummmm...Excuse me.

Zaraki: Huh? Who are you?

Me: The guy who lives here. Can I help you?

Zaraki: Yeah, I'm looking for Ichigo. Have ya seen him?

Me: Not recently…He doesn't usually spend time in my bathroom. *Gets out of bath and wraps a towel around waist* I think right now he's in Japan.

Zaraki: Where's that?

Me: Well, we're in England. So, I'm guessing a lot of miles in…Whatever direction.

Zaraki: Is that close?

Me: Ummm…No.

Zaraki: Damn it! Where are you, Ichigo!? *Runs off*

Me: Well, guess I can get back to my bath now…What the hell!? *Bath turns into computer with Microsoft Word open and a note* Let's see…

Note: Finish Chapter 4, or you shall forever be cursed to eat puppies, and listen to horrible music, music that's so bad, it has to be censored.

Me: *sighs* Guess I'd better do Chapter 4 then.

Aizen looked down at Tousen, smiling as he always does. "Kaname, has Ichimaru not returned yet?"

"No, Aizen-Taichou. But he should be coming back later today." Tousen replied, his face still expressionless.

"I see. By the way. Have you tried this snack that Grimmjow brought back? It's called "pocky", and tastes pretty good." Aizen said, munching away on some pocky sticks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: OW! What the hell!?

Aizen: What're you doing? I don't eat snacks.

Me: Oh, really?

Aizen: Really.

Me: Oh, fiiiiiiine. I'll change the script.

Aizen: Thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I see. By the way. Grimmjow's already returned, has he not? Can you bring him to me? I need to ask him to run an errand for me."

"Yes, Aizen-sama." With that, Tousen left to find Grimmjow.

Meanwhile, in the human world. A month had passed since the rose ball incident. Grin and Rangiku meet everyday, in secret, at a café, and just casually chatted and told jokes.

Today, Rangiku never expected for Gin to say what he did. "So after all that hard work we did building a casino in Kuchiki-Taichou's dining room, he just went ahead and destroyed it! Isn't that mean?"

"Hmmm…I think you shoulda asked his permission first. Then again, the guy has plenty of other rooms ta spare, neh?"

"That's what I said! And we told him he could still eat meals there…He's just as cold hearted as my Taichou!" Rangiku sipped at her drink, and then turned to Gin when he reached for something in his pocket, with a serious look on his face.

"Rangiku-chan, I hafta go back tomorrow." Gin said, his hand still in his pocket. Rangiku's disappointment in what he just said was obvious. "But, I don't want us ta ever be apart. Therefore…" Gin got down on one knee, and took out a small box. He opened it to reveal a ring. "…Will ya marry me?"

Rangiku blushed so much that she felt dizzy, and after a few seconds to process what he just said, started to tear up from happiness. "…Yes." She said, after what seemed like an eternity had passed. Gin put the ring on her finger, and after staring at each other for a few seconds, they shared their first kiss as an engaged couple.

Back at Orihime's house, Toushiro was watching some of Orihime's cartoons, and, despite no one being around, was pretending to not enjoy them. "This is so stupid. How can a rabbit just walk over thin air like that? And what kind of sword fighting do they call that?" When he heard the door open, he quickly turned off the T.V., and got out a sodoku puzzle book, and pretended he was doing a puzzle.

"Oh, Taichou. You're home already?" Rangiku said, not noticing anyone was in.

"Yeah, I left the patrol to Ikkaku." Toushiro said, although he didn't say why.

"Why'd you-Hm?" She stopped when she saw the "Looney Tunes" DVD case on the floor. "Ahhhh! Now I see!"

Toushiro started sweating. "No! It's not what you think! Orihime was watching it before she left! Honestly!"

"You don't have to hide it, Taichou! You're still a child, after all!" Rangiku said, patting him on the head.

"I AM NOT A CHILD, MATSUMOTO!~" Toushiro shouted, so loudly that the neighbours were shouting stuff like "keep it down!".

"Well, I just came back to pick up my umbrella. In case it rains!" Rangiku said, more cheerfully than usual.

"Yeah, whatever." Toushiro said, pretending to write in answers to his puzzle.

Rangiku ran into her room, and grabbed her wallet. "Hmmm…Maybe I SHOULD grab an umbrella…" She picked up Orihime's umbrella, and took off, after saying "See ya later!" to her Taichou.

"Ah, there y'are! Ready ta go?" Gin asked, after Rangiku met up with him in the park.

"Yeah, let's go!" Rangiku said, grabbing onto Gin's arm. "First, I need to get a dress. And you need to get a suit."

"Awwww. Do I hafta?" Gin said, a frown replacing his usual smile.

"Yes! This has to be like a real wedding." Rangiku replied, starting to walk faster.

They arrived at a clothes shop, and walked over to the wedding section. Gin picked out a suit fairly quickly, but Rangiku was taking her time, trying to find the perfect dress. Suddenly, they heard a familiar sound: the howl of a Hollow. "Did you hear that?" One passer by said.

"Hear what? I didn't hear any-" He was cut off by a huge explosion, which also hit the clothes store Gin and Rangiku were in.

"Oh no!" Rangiku said. "I didn't bring my Soul Candy with me! Huh?" She saw another Soul Reaper there…With an afro. "Oh! It's the Soul Reaper that watches over Karakura!" Since the hollow was weak, the Soul Reaper was able to make very quick work of it.

"Well now. That certainly was interesting. Neh, Rangiku-chan?"

"Yeah, I guess…AH!" Rangiku noticed that the entire wedding section was destroyed. Not a single dress remained. "No…This can't be." Rangiku was on the verge of tears.

Suddenly, Gin had an idea. Although it took some time, he eventually managed to get out of his Gigai. "Rangiku-chan. Let's get married…As Soul Reapers." Gin said, causing Rangiku to look at him, confused.

"Huh?" Rangiku sniffed a little, trying to hold back her tears.

"We both dreamed of becoming Soul Reapers together. We both trained together, we both became Soul Reapers together. So, let's get married as Soul Reapers. Neh?"

Rangiku smiled at this, but then frowned again. "But…You're not wearing a Shihaksho…"

"Oh, don't worry 'bout that. Come out of yer Gigai, and follow me." Rangiku did what he asked; she got out of her Gigai (after a while), picked it up, and followed Gin (after he also picked his up, of course).

They eventually wound up at Gin's apartment. "What're we doing here?" Rangiku asked, still confused.

"You'll see." Gin said, as he unlocked a chest, and took out his old Shihaksho and Haori. "I knew this might come in handy one day, so I kept on to it." Gin said, smiling at Rangiku.

Rangiku smiled back, tears welling up yet again. But this time, they were tears of happiness.

A few minutes later, they stood before an altar in Karakura church, both wearing their Soul Reaper uniforms.

After exchanging their vows, they promise to always be together, until death do them part.

After they put the rings on each others' fingers, they share a kiss together, making them an officially married couple.

Just outside the church, Toushiro was resisting the urge to burst in, and Bankai Gin's ass all the way to oblivion. "…I can only sense Rangiku's spirit energy in there. If there is anyone else, I haven't noticed him." With that, he left, hoping nothing too bad would come of this, but at the same time, knowing that it would.

The next morning, Rangiku woke up in Gin's apartment, and looked around. She got up, and saw a note. It read:

Dear Rangiku-chan,

Sorry, I hafta go now. Aizen-Taichou's waiting for me, ya know? We'll surely meet again…On the battlefield. Please consider what I asked ya at the ball. Please stay away from the front line. If possible, I wanna spend more time with you, as you husband.

See ya soon.

After reading the last line, a frown formed on Rangiku's face. "Soon?" She asked herself, and then burned the letter. "I'd better think of something to explain where I've been to my Taichou." She got dressed, and then left the apartment via the window.

Back in Hueco Mondo, Gin presented himself to Aizen. "I've returned, Aizen-Taichou."

"Welcome back, Gin. I trust you're feeling refreshed, now?"

"Oh yes. I feel much better. And, I brought you some souvenirs." Gin said, handing Aizen a bag.

"More? Grimmjow already delivered some from you. Food in the human world tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

"Yes. And Karakura was a pretty fun place. It's a shame we hafta destroy it." Gin turned around as Tousen entered the room. "Are tha preparations complete, then?"

"No, not yet. But, it seems that Grimmjow's taken a group of Arrancar to the human world."

Aizen turned around at walked up to his throne. "I see. Bring them back. I'll deal with them."

"Yes, Aizen-sama."
