Hi everyone! OMGEEE thank you for reviewing Sora'struelover! Great advice, hopefully I will fulfill it :) On to ze story!

Ugh... why the hell is it so bright, Ryoko thought, opening bleary eyes. "Effin' A!" she cried, her eyes now fully open.

She stumbled out of bed and promptly tripped over her pants. "Uhhhh," she mumbled with her face to the floor, "I don't wanna get up."

Suddenly there was stomping in the hallway next to her small barracks room, and she lifted her head just in time for the door to swing open and a see cheerful Rangiku walk in.

"Ryoko!" Rangiku yelled, shutting the door.

"Shaddap," Ryoko grumbled as her face went back to the surprisingly comfortable ground.

"I see you're up. How's your hangover going?"

"As horrible as every other one."

"That's wonderful!" Rangiku cheered, skipping over to a slumped Ryoko. "Get up, it's your day off thankfully, let's do something!"

"No," Ryoko murmured.

"Awww, please Ryoko, I'll be your best friend," Rangiku pleaded with her hands clasped in front of her.

"Leave me alone, I feel like crap,"

"Walk it off, maybe we can drink some more," Rangiku said thoughtfully.

"Absolutely not!"

"Aww come on! I didn't even get to drink last night because I had to walk with Izuru to your room!"

"That's your own fault for making me drink- wait, what with Kira Fukutaicho?"

"He carried you home," Rangiku said slyly.

"Oh god," Ryoko moaned highly mortified, "Get out!"

"Fine, fine," Rangiku assured.

"Thank you."

Rangiku stood up and strolled to the door, but out of nowhere she turned around and ran full speed at Ryoko, grabbing her by her defenseless legs and started to drag her to the door.

"MATSUMOTO! Let me go!"

"HAHA, NEVERRRR!"

Being already weak from her hangover (if you could call it that) she didn't have the strength to stop Rangiku, but that didn't mean she would help her kidnapper.

Ryoko went totally limp as they walked through the hallway, so limp she looked dead, thankfully there weren't any people in the barrack halls.

"Ryoko! Help me out!" Rangiku yelled.

"I'm going against my will; I will not be helping you."

"Fine, but when you have scrapes from the concrete, don't come complaining to me."

"I am willing to take that risk," Ryoko said stoically. "Where are you taking me anyway?"

"You'll see," Rangiku said with a smirk.

"If you take me to the bar again, I will unleash my zanpokuto on you," Ryoko said coldly.

"I think you'll like it," a smiling Rangiku said shunpo-ing with Ryoko yelping behind her.


They finally arrived at the desired place, Ryoko stilled eyes shut tightly.

"Silly girl, open your eyes," Rangiku teased.

As she opened her eyes, she gasped at the sight before her. It was a pond with many sakura trees clustered around it. In the distance rose high snowcapped mountains.

"It's beautiful," Ryoko whispered. "How did you find this place."

` "Oh, when Gin and I were children we used to explore," Rangiku responded wistfully, "But enough about me, we are here because of you."

"Because of me?" Ryoko asked incredulously.

"Because of you, because you are so distant, man. I want to get to know you. Is that so wrong, letting people in?"

"Ugh, you talking about myself, but fine what do you want to know about me?" Ryoko said impatiently.

"Oh, I didn't think it would be so easy so make you comply. Oh let me see..." She pulled a notebook from seemingly nowhere and started to flip through the

pages.

"Sit down, stay a while, we are going to be here a while," Rangiku told Ryoko patting the grass beside her.

Ryoko sat down and the questions began.

"First off, where ya from?"

"District 55, East Rukongai," Ryoko answered boredly.

"Tell me about it," Rangiku asked politely.

Ryoko looked at her hesitantly, but began to tell Rangiku of her childhood.

"It was hard, but we had it better than a lot..."

Mwahaha I'm ending it on a cliff hanger to be mean hahaha. Tune in next time folks! Bye~!
