Why don't my titles ever make sense until the end of the chapter? And even then it still doesn't make sense...

I was going to double the length of this chapter, but that would've taken me even longer to update and you guys have waited long enough

Thanks for still keeping up with me :)

A Few Days Later

"That's gross! So damn gross! You guys are the sickest, most perverted, son of a- mph!" My rant was interrupted by a giggly Matsumoto slapping her hand over my mouth. I immediately pushed her away, "Why are we at a bar? And why did you tell Kira and Hisagi, too?"

The duo across from us in the booth waved timidly with nervous smiles on their faces.

I let my head smack the table and groaned, 'And how did those pervs come up with an idea like that?'

After bugging Matsumoto for a while, she finally gave in and told me what she thought had happened in my room a few days ago.

I regret my decision; some things are just better off not knowing...

"Aw... Now I can't tell Ichigo anything if nothing happened..." Matsumoto sighed.

I froze and looked up, "You were going to tell my brother?"

"Of course! Nothing like a little drama between a girl's lover and her brother."

"He's not my lover!" I protested.

"Who isn't your lover?" Matsumoto waggled her eyebrows.

"You know exactly who I'm talking about!"

"You haven't mentioned his name once during this whole entire conversation," she sang, pouring another cup of sake.

That's because it's just plain awkward... even if he's not present at the moment...

I sighed and decided to let it go... for now, anyways. Plus, Kira and Hisagi look more at ease now that the screaming has ceased.

"Speaking of my brother, do you know when he's coming to visit?" I asked.

Hisagi tapped his chin in thought, "I haven't heard about him yet. What about you, Kira?"

Kira only shook his head "no".

"Why don't you visit him in the real world if you miss him that much?" Matsumoto suggested.

I gave her a look. "Matsumoto, I died in the real world only a few years ago. What would people think if they saw someone who's suppose to be dead walking around town? I can't go unless it's for a mission where I'm required to stay in my shinigami form."

"Hm... I guess you have a point... Just leave it to me!" She winked and hurried out of the bar. Wow, that's a first.

I twitched.

"I guess I'll be going, too."

The guys waved bye as I stood up and left for the 13th division. It's true that I miss my brother, but that's not the reason for meeting up with him. I have something important to tell him... something he really needs to know...

…

"Ne, Captain Ukitake, have there been any requests for the world of the living?" I asked while signing papers in the office. The Captain has been feeling better so he decided work today.

He began looking through a stack, "Hm, let me see... Any particular reason you want to go?"

"I just have some things to take care of," I squirmed in my seat when he stared at me with an uncertain look on his face.

"Is it personal?"

I nodded, knowing that I couldn't lie to him.

"I'll let you go as long as you promise it won't get in the way of your mission," he waved a piece of paper before skimming through it. "You are to collect reiatsu samples from different locations in Karakura Town and it's surrounding areas. I suggest you bring another lieutenant or someone of a high seat with you for back up. Take this paper with you to the 12th division whenever you're rea-"

I grabbed the paper before he could finish, "Thanks Captain!" I grinned widely before running off.

Ukitake only shook his head with a smile before continuing his work.

"Hm... who should I bring with me?" I wondered out loud while wandering the maze like streets.

An arm draped around my shoulder, "Me, of course!"

I twitched and pried the arm off, "You were eavesdropping weren't you, Kimaru?"

He shrugged, "I was just passing by. So, can-"

"No," I stated simply and walked off.

"Aw, why not?"

Why not? Because, dear Kimaru, I know exactly what you're up to. When the lieutenant is gone, the 3rd seat is normally in charge of their paperwork, but since our 3rd seats are too busy babying the Captain, it'll be your job.

"Because I said so."

I rolled my eyes as his demands escalated and we were nearing the 12th division. Honestly... does this guy have nothing better to do than follow me around all day?

"I'll bring you tea and snacks every hour for the rest of the month."

"Tempting, but it's still NO." I don't know if I should be amused or annoyed by his demands anymore.

"I'll even include a free massage!"

Walking through the 12th's courtyard, he placed his hands on my shoulders and began his (rather crappy) massage. "See? Feels good, eh? Sign up now and you'll receive a steamed towel with it!"

I only shook my head once again. "I'll do anything! Don't leave me with the 3rd seats and your never ending amount of paperwork!" By now, he was practically hanging on my back.

"No means no. Now get back to work and I'll see you in a few days."

The 12th division's door was slammed in his face as I followed one of the members to Captain Kurotsuchi's lab, though he immediately left when we arrived. It wasn't hard to see why: his Captain's a complete weirdo. Speaking of the Captain, he was seated in front of the large screen, tapping away on his keyboard.

"Captain Kurotsuchi, I'm here regarding the mission to collect reiatsu samples from Kara-"

"Yes, yes, I've already heard it from your partner! I don't have time to explain every little detail to you, so take this and get going, underling!" I caught the cellphone-like device he tossed at me before he turned back to his computer and waved me off. Geez, what a warm welcome. Wait- partner? I haven't asked anyone to come with me... Unless somebody signed up for this mission, too.

I began inspecting the device on my way to the gate. It looked just like a normal palm sized phone, except for the little antenna which I'm guessing is for sending the reiatsu waves back to the 12th division's lab. Let's just hope I can figure out how to use it later.

I stuffed it in my robes before coming in contact with my death (by suffocation). "Masumh-to, eh mee guh..." Please tell me she's not my partner for this... I don't think I can survive daily doses of death-by-boobs.

Matsumoto finally pulled away with a huge grin. Her hands left the (painful) embrace and went to squish my cheeks together.

"Have fun, sweetie! If he touches you in weird places, don't be afraid to kick him in the you-know-where!" She winked and gave me a light shove to the gate. I guess she's not my partner then...?

He? Whenever she mentions "he" and makes that stupid face...

A groan left my lips.

No no no no! I didn't think she'd thought this far ahead when she said to leave it to her! How did she even know I would choose this mission? How did she get him to accept the mission? What is this witchery?

By now, I was clutching my hair a making a stupid face of my own.

"Are you okay-?"

"Shut up, it's all your fault!" I waved my finger violently at the one and only: Renji.

"Uh, right..." He scratched his head with a bemused expression before gently pushing me to the gate. "You really need to get out the office more..."

Aww this wasn't as long as it seemed when I wrote it on openoffice...
And sorry if there are any typos... it's nearly 3am and I get a little psycho by now 8D
LOTS AND LOTS MORE RENJI NEXT CHAPTER... I realized I've been dragging everything on... like I always do because I like messing with you guys 3 nahh i'm just weird haha

Death-by-boobs:
LOL every time my friends and I gather to watch random stuff on Netflix and it stops to buffer, we blame Eunice's giant boobs for disrupting the signal... and now you know where that came from xD

So read my profile thing if you wanna know what I've been doing since the last chapter because I'm too lazy to remember at the moment

And now i'm off to continue playing Kid Icarus: Uprising :3 or maybe Pokemon... or League of Legends... or maybe it's time I get a life xD
