A.N: 'Kay people, sorry for the wait, but I finally finished chapter 17, duh... and I was really sad that we got no reviews for the last chapter, so I feel that this needs to be said... This will still be a rather crack-y flic, it's just have a plot, and to tell you the truth it'll almost follow the plot line of the show after awhile, just not now. SO, don't hold out on reviews because the story doesn't seem to funny right now, and I tried my best to make this chapter have some humor in it, even if it was just sarcastic comments. So review, it'll get back to the funny's eventually. Oh, and there WILL be some romantic ploting in this too, blame Katie, not me.

It's official; life really must hate me, a lot. I mean seriously, Katie and I do one, little, ittsy-bittsy, teeny-weeny thing behind Aizen and his 'Spada's backs, and we get attacked for it. And no, technically those other things we did to bug the 'Spada don't count 'cause either: 1) another 'Spada/Ex-Soul Reaper/Lilinette was in on it, or 2) it was to get back at them for something they did like, oh I don't know, barging in on our personal lives. That saying 'Karma's a Bitch' is so true.

Katie and I only wanted to hang out with our friends without having to worry about 'Spada supervision before we left for Las Noches where not only we'd be watch almost all the time so we didn't get in trouble, but we couldn't talk to our friends. Now, instead of having a relaxing afternoon with our friends, we were trying not to die; what a nice way to spend the first day of summer vacation, don't 'cha think?

I was currently hiding underneath the docks while I tried to get a hold of someone at the house. After the seventh try I gave up and tried to think of what I should do. Unlike Katie I didn't know how to, or have enough, Reishi to try and draw one of the 'Spada, luckily Katie and Ikkaku's fight would be doing that for me. Sticking my head up above the dock I noticed another problem, we were at a beach, so not only did Katie have to stay away from the water, there were a lot of people running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off since all they saw was a curly haired girl swinging fire around like a toy. In Lake City, being the small town it is, this kinda stuff doesn't happen a lot. I mean, come on, we're not Tokyo, we don't get attacked by giant monsters and Godzilla every other day.

Grabbing a steel pipe that must have come from when they tore down the building next store, I stood up from my hiding place to try and do what ever I could to keep Katie and Ikkaku's battle from hurting anyone while not dieing myself. I'd be damned if I let Katie have all the action.

Running to the park with out getting hit by some wayward attack was no easy task but I eventually made it. Looking around I found a group of people hiding under a picnic table…. Seriously? You think a picnic table is going to protect you? People are really stupid, huh?

"Get out of here!" I yelled at them as I finally made it over to them.

"W-what the h-hell is g-g-going on?" On of them asked sounding as though they'd shit themselves already. Probably had.

"It doesn't matter, you need to go, now." I told them urgently, hopping that Yumichika had gotten so wrapped up in the fight that he didn't remember about/notice me. "GO!" I yelled finally, sending the small group running away as fast as they could. I did very same routine until IT happened.

"So where have you been hiding?" I snapped around to see the, feathery, Yumichika standing right in front of me. Random observation, and yes, I know this isn't the time but; those feathers look even more ridiculous in really life than they do in the Anime.

"What do you want Soul Reaper." I demanded happy to hear that I sounded much more confidant than I felt. I gripped the pipe in my hand tighter to keep myself from shaking. My stomach started feeling a wee bit queasy but I shook it off, as I got ready to play let's-not-die.

"Why that's strange, you don't seem to have any Reishi, how unbeautiful." He remarked casually effectively confusing me, which luckily, kept me from saying some rude remark about how 'unbeautiful', is not a word.

"Gay man say what now?" I asked, all my word running together. Yeah, that was the alternative to the 'Unbeautiful' question. Yumichika then gave me the same face he made when he tried to beat his sword against a rock, "What? You're very feminine, and, come on, the end of your name means 'girl' in Spanish." I explained feeling a little less scared about this, if I could stall him for long enough, the 'Spada would be drawn by Katie and Ikkaku's fight and save us.

"What did you say you little-!!!" he cut himself off, trying to calm down, while I suppressed an evil grin. I really love watching people over react. "I really wish I could teach you a lesson but the Squad Captains would probably want to see you and I would probably get in trouble." He sighed unhappily, my eyes widened as I realized what was going to happen if I didn't do something; good-bye Arrancars, hello Soul Reapers. As he took as step closer I did the only thing I could. Grabbing the pipe in my hands much like a baseball bat, I swung with all my force and was happy to feel it make a connection, I was unhappy to feel something in my left wrist snap painfully.

Grasping my wrist I looked up at Yumichika holding his 'beautiful' face looking totally pissed off. He let go of his face and I flinched as I saw a swelling imprint of the pipe, I didn't know if it would bruise a Soul Reaper, but I did know it wasn't going to be pretty. "Look what you did to my beautiful face!" he yelled angrily. Feeling this was as good as time as any, I turned around, pipe still in hand, and ran way as fast as I could. I didn't turn around to see if he was chasing after me 'cause I knew he was and nine out of ten said he was also flailing his sword in the air as well.

Tripping over something, probably nothing, I fell on the ground and I tried to get out of the way of any on coming attack. My attempt was futile as I quickly felt the cold, angry biting of metal on my shoulder. Biting my lip, I tried to hold back the tears that threaten to overflow because of the mixed effort of my wrist and my shoulder. Getting back up as fast as I could manage, I continued running as I felt my shirt become warm and sticky from the blood. I really hoped that Katie's fight wasn't going as bad as my attempt to not get killed was, and that the 'Spada would get here soon.

END CHAPTER!!!

So, what'd ya think? Please tell us or... YUMICHIKA WILL BE DECLARED THE MOST BEAUTIFULL PERSON ON THE PLANET!!!! Now, nothing against Yumichika, but please stop this from happening, you have the power!!!!
