_________________________________________________

Yuki moaned and rolled back and forth across the futon, her head was pounding, every rustle of the leaves and chirp the birds made was emphasized and rang and echoed in her ear, was this what a hangover felt like? It was her first time drinking, and if the after effects were this horrid, the thought of every getting drunk again was extremely unappealing. She crawled out of bed, her eyes squinted, still half asleep. Where was she? She was in a simple room, it was on a small dock out over a lake, the room was kept dim by the closed curtains of a small circular window. The familiar fragrant smell of jasmine tea hung in the air, she knew without a doubt that it was Jushiro's scent. Suddenly a burst of light shot through the room when a figure she recognized as Jushiro slid open the door.

"AWW!! The light!! It burns!!" ,Yuki quickly scurried under the blanket, protecting herself from the sun. She heard the door slide shut and the pattering of feet grew louder and louder. Yuki peeked out of the blanket to see Jushiro staring at her, the expression on his face held no similarity to the Jushiro that she knew. The warm spicy brown eyes, a gentle heart-lifting smile, white hair scattered everywhere from on his back to his slender shoulders was the usual appearance he carried. This Jushiro's eyes were hard and stiff, like chocolate you had left in the fridge, it was hard, brittle,and a simple color, it didn't have the warm appeal that his eyes usually held, the dark orbs gazed at her coldly. A stern thin line was imprinted on his face, just like the captain of the 6th division's... She hated seeing him so different...

"Why am I here? Where is this place?"

"I found you in the bar unconscious with Shunsui and Rangiku! I had to bring you home while you were passed out!" ,he proceeded to scold her."WHY WOULD YOU GO GET YOURSELF DRUNK YESTERDAY! Do you know what could've happened while you were unconscious, even if you're their precious Yuki-sama the Sake Goddess! They still might've taken advantage of you in your vulnerable state, how could you be SO IRREPONSIBLE!!" How could she do such a thing?? How could she make him worry so much?? What if she had really been hurt?? Rangiku couldn't fight off all those men, she had been slightly tipsy too and even with her zanpaktou, how would she hold off a whole barload of horny men??

Yuki quickly dove back into her safe haven (AKA beneath the covers). Why did it hurt so much to see Jushiro look at her like that? Why did a searing burn rip throughout her when he yelled at her like that? WHY!! WHY!! Sobs broke the silence and Yuki desperately tried to wrap herself in the covers, she didn't want to see Jushiro look at her like that, a look full of anger and spite, a look directed at her. Was the reason for this pain the reason Matsumoto had said? Was it because she liked Jushiro? No... a simple crush wouldn't inflict so much pain and damage onto her heart, it was love... But why... Why did the person she loved look at her like that? When she was little, all the stories and manga she had forced Hiro to read to her were about princes and princesses, living happily ever after in a life full of true love and romance. Their gaze, though just a drawing, was full of passion, a passion built from true love... For him to look at her like that, Yuki knew the possibility of him ever loving her was impossible... she wasn't sure if they could even still be friends. Why did everyone else get their Prince Charming? Why was she destined sad and gloomy for the rest of her life?

The sobs rang through Jushiro's ears, echoing and echoing... Yuki... she... s-she was crying, and it was all his fault that she was crying. What kind of friend, no, what kind of man was he? To make a girl cry?? He tried to pull the covers off, desperately wanting to tell her he was sorry and comfort her. But she just wouldn't budge, they pulled and tugged on the blankets. Before long, the cotton quilt teared...

Rip!

The now useless pieces of fabric fluttered through the air, freeing Yuki from the shelter and haven of the covers. The immense vulnerability of the state she was in, shocked him, she looked even more vulnerable than when she had been flung into the air by the crowds of men, more than when she had so sincerely apologized for ending Jushiro's favorite koi, Kimi's life, more vulnerable than when she had looked at him with those piercing jade eyes of pure terror when he had coughed up pools of scarlet that stained his white haori. She was crouched on her side, rolled into a slight ball, slim arms desperately covered her face, her eyes peeked out. (Imagine a tuck and roll position, the ones you get in when there's an earthquake except on the side and the legs slightly spread out) Those eyes... they held so much anguish and grief, so much vulnerability and terror at the same time, just the sight of her pained eyes shattered his heart into a million cracked pieces, just waiting to be picked up. How could he do this to her? The captain immediately scooped her trembling figure into his arms.

"I"m so sorry..." ,he whispered into her ear.

His hot breath tickled her ear, slightly melting her cold heart, or what was left of it... Drops of water cascaded down her ivory skin as she was embraced by the man she had just realized that she loved... Why did God have to be so cruel? Had she not suffered enough in her first life? She had to watch her own brother die, knowing it was her fault. Now God had brought a man so wonderful into her life, that it was simply impossible to not fall in love with, why would God make her fall so deeply in love, just to toy with her and make her suffer, the pain of rejection did not compare to the lack of love. The pain of seeing the man you love everyday, knowing he would never love you was a thousand times worse than being denied.

Jushiro felt his robes dampen, even on days of the most severe coughing, the blood stains did not compare to the sorrowful tears. He raised Yuki's face, stroking her cheek, he could not deny that it was as soft as silk and felt like satin on his fingertips. But it was so different than the other times he had held her hand and felt the smooth velvet, this time it was cold, her skin was a ghostly pale, lacking its usual luminous glow. It hurt him to know that the tears that fell from her face, the limp body and the gloomy aura was all caused by him. It was all his fault that his precious Yuki was hurting, all he wanted to do was to kiss her, to bring the warmth back to her cheeks, the shimmer to her eyes. Continuous cries and sobs racked throughout her trembling figure, her fingers found their way to his robes, pulling them for support. She knew if his arms hadn't gripped her safely into his embrace, she would have soon collapsed back onto the floor.

"Yuki... please don't cry anymore. It's all fault, you can blame it all onto me... I'm sorry for yelling at you, so please... stop crying!" ,pleaded Jushiro. He hated seeing his cheerful Yuki trembling and shivering in sorrow and anguish like this. It only made him want to break down and cry along with her.

"Sniff* That's... not why I'm crying..." ,

"Then... why are you crying???"

Yuki quickly scurried away from his embrace, could

Tell him, suggested Binzuru, he'll understand. He just might like you back.

Whatever... I'm not up for this lovey dopey stuff... It was just fun to tease you... admitted Amida.

She wasn't going to give in, what did they know?? Of course Jushiro wouldn't love her, she had no idea why he even wanted to be her friend. The only sensible reason was because he was a kind person and just didn't have the heart to tell her to go away when she visited him daily. He wouldn't understand her feelings... how was he to comprehend the reason that glittering tears fell from her eyes, the reason why sobs tore throughout her figure, the reason that she could no longer feel her heart beat was because of him, because of the intolerable memories of the eventful yesterday, because she ... she, Hoshizaki Yuki, simply, simply loved him...

"You wouldn't understand..." ,she whispered softly to him before running through the door, leaving a confused and bitter Jushiro alone in the middle of the room. Jushiro sat there slightly shocked, he found himself missing Yuki in his arms. What had he done that would make her cry and sob like that?? Racking his head for possible reason, he found none. None that explained such a dismal and grief-stricken Yuki.

"Yuki... My Yuki..." , he whispered unconciously. "Why???"

Maybe we shoule help him?

Yes... he's suffered enough, looks like he really can't figure it out.

Master??? You want some help? ,giggled his 2 Zanpaktou.

You know why??? ,questioned Jushiro, how could his 2 Zanpaktou know?? If they knew, then he knew, weren't they just a part of his soul? Then he hadn't looked deep enough.

Of course!! You see... Yuki definitely went out drinking because she was depressed. Now why was she depressed? Didn't she seem perfectly happy the day before?? What if she might have heard something about the date you and Unohana had?

I don't see why she would be so depressed... admitted Jushiro, he was confused by all this advice for the heart.

Well wouldn't you be unhappy if you were going on a date just to find out your date had changed plans and was now going on a date with another. You could've declined Unohana's proposal...

Well you wouldn't be that depressed... maybe a bit sad, but Rangiku said she drank 24 sake bottles!! ,shouted Jushiro.

Then there's only one other reason....

What? Tell me! I have to fix the problem immediately.

The only other reason can be is ... is that... she loves you...

____________________________________________________

Yuki didn't know what to do, the only thing that came to mind was to run.

Run!

Run!

That was what her instinct told her, she flash stepped back and forth across Seireitei. She finally stopped and settled on the roof of a building. Yuki admired 2 butterflies that fluttered back and forth, catching her eye. A white one and a black one, they intertwined and separated, telling a sad story about love. It only reminded her of her horrible cracked love life, the tears returned and sobs were once again heard.

"YUKI!!" ,shouted a cheerful voice.

The gloomy shinigami tilted her head to see a certain orange-haired lieutenant attack her, the two fell off the roof with a loud Thud!

"What the hell was that for Matsumoto!!" ,she shouted. A spark of anger couldn't help but burst inside her despite the sea of sorrow and anguish.

"Let's go drinking!! The Sake Goddess gets free sake!!"

"Go yourself..."

"Then I have to pay!" ,pouted Matsumoto.

"I said... F*#(*KIN GO YOURSELF!!!"

Matsumoto frowned, why was Yuki so mad, she studied her face, teartracks streaked down her cheeks, her eyes were puffy and red and the usual beauty now looked... like hell. "Yuki? Why do you look like hell? Your eyes are all swollen and puffy, and your cheeks looks like they've been run over by tear streaks and your hair is all messy and you're like sickly pale. I don't mean the beautiful natural moonlight pale, I mean the really ugly sick pale."

Yuki simply slumped onto the ground... Her eyes grew sad and dim... well they were already sad and dim, thought Matsumoto. Now they're REALLY sad and dim... ,she thought. (Ran, isn't exactly the smartest person, but she makes that up in being street smart)

"Why does God have to be so cruel..." ,she whispered to the air, as if asking God himself.

"Yuki... I can tell you've been crying, tell me why..." ,Rangiku whispered, she too sat down and put her arm around Yuki in a desperate try to comfort her.

Tears started to brim, they threatened to spill and leak. "I hate it... I hate it! Why... Why do I have to love him???" ,she asked, her voice was hoarse and painful. Matsumoto looked at her questioningly, "Ukitake-taichou??" Yuki simply nodded, confirming Matsumo's question. "Did he reject you?"

"No... He doesn't need to reject me, he has no reason to love me in the beginning."

"Then why would he kiss you? You said he kissed you!" ,Matsumoto asked. This was so confusing, Yuki's love life was full of twists and turns. It was exactly like this new soap opera she had found, "Princes aren't Real", that was what the soap opera was titled, it was completely full of drama. Apparently this bad boy has to do community service and meets a girl doing volunteer work, he gets her to help him with tutoring stuff, and they slowly fall in love... but then there's a car crash and she's put into a coma!! Rangiku didn't know yet whether Alicia (the girl) would live, she would have to make sure to watch it on Wednesday. It was at 10 o' clock, right???

Yuki looked at Matsumoto to see that she had started day dreaming, probably about sake or some stupid soap opera, it really was quite suprising how her friends could be so inattentive. She sighed and pinched Rangiku to bring her out of her dreams about Alicia and Rafael. She answered her, "He only kissed me on the spur of the moment... why would he want me, when he could have a captain like Unohana-taichou??"

"Unohana-taichou?", Matsumoto racked her brains for a reason Yuki was comparing herself to the 4th division's captain. I mean she did have to admit Unohana-taichou might be the type that Jushiro-taichou might like, sweet, elegant, pretty. They had both knew each other for a long time too. But why would Ukitake-taichou and Unohana-taichou get together, she'd have to peek into the grapevine. (Not sure if a real saying. Basically means she has to check the gossips and rumour stuff)

"Yea... I told you yesterday. They went on a d....d-date." The thought of Unohana-taichou and Ukitake-taichou out on a date only swirled Yuki deeper into her depression, she hated her. Even though she knew that Unohana-taichou was a kind and wonderful captain, she hated her. And Yuki hated herself even more for thinking such a unhumane thought.

"He's a fool then Yuki, choosing Unohana-taichou over you. There's no reason why a man wouldn't want you!" ,Matsumoto eyed Yuki carefully, gauging her reaction. She hadn't been lying, Yuki was a pretty girl, she was strong, determined, brave, nice, and she could definitely hold her liquor. 24 frickin' bottles... wow... But Unohana-taichou was desirable too, they were slightly similar though Unohana-taichou was more gentle. A doctor patient realationship, what a dreamy thought. That would make an excellent soap opera!!

Yuki blinked, the tears finally spilled out. She couldn't think about Jushiro and Unohana-taichou anymore, it made her heart wrench every time just to hear their names. Trying to hold back the tears, she clenched her fists, tearing the grass out in an attempt to hold the tears in. But they still fell, in perfect crystal drops. Matsumoto watched the drops of pure sorrow and agony fall, finally reaching its final destination on the lush evergreen tufts of grass. It hurt her so much to see Yuki sad and crying like this, there must be some way to get Ukitake-taichou and Yuki together! She had an idea but this would enlist the help of the special group dedicated to the shinigami women of Soul Society!!!

"I have an idea, we're going to make Ukitake-taichou fall in love you!"

Matsumoto suddenly stood up, she raised her Zanpaktou high in the air plunged the katana deep within the ground.

"Shingami Women's Association Kido #33: THE SHINIGAMI WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER SUCKY MALE GENDER's EMERGENCY CALL!" ,she yelled in one breath.

Yuki simply stared at her as she proceeded to holler: "EMERGENCY MEETING ACTIVATED!! RETREAT TO THE SECRET MEETING PLACE IMMEDIATELY!!!!"

"Come on, we have to get to the meeting area!!" ,cheered the ever lively Rangiku before dragging her toward the Kuchiki household.

___________________________________________________________________________

The two shunpo'd toward the better side of Seireitei. The speed made the wind blow past her in an eerie bellow, caressing her cheeks and untangling her hair, where was Matsumoto taking her? The Shinigami women's association? How could this help her?? "Where are we going??" ,she finally asked.

"The Secret Shinigami Women's Association Meeting Area!"

A Shinigami Women's Association Meeting, how was going to solve her problem?? But she did make the posters and scrapbooks of the Gotei 13 and Byakuya Kuchiki that Yachiru wanted, Unohana and Yachiru both accept her in but after she had decided to not attend the academy, she was no longer legible to enter.

"Wait, let's go back to my place. I have the posters and scrapbooks that Yachiru asked for."

"Kay."

The two changed course, a shunpo or two and they were there. The two quickly scrambled into the little hut, it was neat and tidy. Not too big but manageable. Yuki ran toward the closets and came out with a thick roll of posters and 2 bag full of scrapbooks, she handed Matsumoto one bag and they quickly left... shunpoing toward the manor of Byakuya Kuchiki.

_______________________________________________________________________________

______________Secret Meeting Area/AKA/Somewhere in Byakuya's estate________________

"Glad to see everyone's here."

"Chairman Matsumoto, what's the reason you called us to his emergency meeting?" ,asked Rukia, eyeing Yuki suspiciously, she didn't exactly like the shingiami. I mean who would like someone who just stabbed a huge scythe in your brother's gut. Well it was slightly amusing to watch Nii-sama get all mad and angered, but the wound was still healing.

"Yuki has a love problem!!" Matsumoto suddenly blurted loudly making sure everyone could hear her. Yuki stared at Matsumoto, her pupil had shrank to the size of a grain sand. Soon she was murmuring "Kill, Amida!" with a evil grin on her face. Suddenly lunging for Rangiku, she swung her scythe down. Matsumoto barely missed it, the scythe sliced the end of her hair off.

"YOU.... YOU DON"T JUST TELL THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEM LIKE THAT!!" ,shouted Yuki before swing the scythe down once again. The women at the meeting stared at the two shingami, the fight was more of a cat and mouse game. Matsumoto ran around the room with the deadly Yuki on her tail swinging the scythe around.

"Ban-kai!!" ,yelled Yuki preparing to use the deadly technique. Nanao quickly grabbed the sword out of Yuki's hand, abruptly ending the technique. "Yuki! You don't want to destroy Kuchiki-taichou's manor now do you???" ,she scolded. Yuki grumbled before suddenly behind her orange-haired friend and knocking Rangiku unconscious to the ground. Seeing everyone's odd looks, she assured them. "She'll be fine!"

"So... nice to meet you! um... I'm Yuki..." , introduced Yuki. Yachiru pounced onto her, "Yuki!!! Do you have any sweets!!", she trilled. "Sorry... I dont... But I do have this!!" ,said Yuki. She unrolled the posters that were held by a single rubber band, and took a poster out.

"OOOH!!! GIMME!!!" ,shouted Yachiru. On the poster was a picture of Zaraki Kenpachi, his shinigami outfit and jagged haori was unvieled to show his muscles, the crazy killer grin sat on his face, his sword was up in the air, and the pink-haired Lieutenant sat on his shoulder. Blood stains were on the poster to give it more of the Kenpachi feeling, the feeling of killing.

Everyone ooohed and aahed at the poster. "I have more...", smiled Yuki. "I also have one that I think if you sold would marginally increase your funds!!" ,Yuki pulled out several posters. Everyone gasped, there was Byakuya Kuchiki, he was wearing the traditional "hair noodles" and scarf, and captain's outfit. His glare was stern and cool, in the background was a full moon shining a luminous glow on him. "Here's another one!" There were several posters of him, there was one with Sakura petals flowing in the air around him, another one where he stood proud and serious, the kanji for six was behind him showing his high rank as captain of the 6th division.

"OMG!!" ,shouted Rukia, pointing to another picture where Byakuya's torso was bare showing a nice set of abs, the captain haori was floating in the air, the haori along with the scarf and the "hair noodles" were all discarded. His hair hung down around his face, not in its usual tidy formation. The most special thing about this picture was that not only was he glistening with sweat, on his face was a crooked smile.

"Yes... I'm most proud of this one. I believe this one you could make ALOT of money off of." Rukia grabbed the picture, her face was painted with shock. "H-how did you get these pictures. Surely nii-sama didn't pose for you!!" Yuki grinned and set the posters down before explaining. "You see, I've been to the real world often lately. Doing a few missions in my spare time, they usually only take half a day or even less. So I stop by the computer lab in the library and use photo shop!!"

All the female shinigami excluding Nemu stared at her, obviously confused. "Photoshop is a thing in the real world where you take pictures of people and you can play with it. Change the background and clothes, that kind of stuff." Nanao realized the potential of the pictures and said, "If you can continuously make these posters, we can greatly increase our funds! We'll secretly offer you a position in the SWA since you aren't legible."

"Sure... But I can't just make posters" ,Yuki grabbed the 2 bags and took out the scrapbooks. "One for every division, and another one for the captains of Gotei 13. I believe they'll sell quite well too, you can make a tidy profit." ,she said. Everyone started looking through the scrapbooks, Kiyone who was looking at the 1st division said, "I didn't know Yamamoto soutaichou could look so cool." Yuki smiled and said, "Yeah... that's Ryujin Jakka, you see the fiery reiatsu surrounding him. Yep that's his special ability, all the fire engulfing him does look cool."

While looking at the scrapbooks, Isane asked Yuki,"So what was Matsumoto talking about? Distress in you love life?" Suddenly all the eyes were again on Yuki, drops of sweat bled down her face... "Well you see.. heh heh... I kind of like this guy... But I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me that way..."

Rukia stared at her suspiciously, "It isn't nii-sama is it?" Yuki stared back, "Hell no! The only reason there's this many posters of him was because I heard he had his very own fan club. I just thought he would be popular on the poster!!!" Rukia agreed silently, it was quite obvious that nii-sama's picture would definitely make the most money, she turned to look toward the scrapbook of her own division. "OMG!!" ,she shouted again. Everyone gathered around the scrapbook, "SOO HANDSOME!!", they all shouted before swooning. Yuki looked around and then examined the scrapbook, she blushed too, there on the first page was a picture of Jushiro. He only wore his captain haori and the bottom half of his shinigami outift leaving his chest bare, his torso was similar to Kuchiki's with a nice set of muscles and abs, Sogyo no Kotowari's shikai was revealed and the 2 swords were raised around him in a defensive stance, white hair flowed around his face and his spicy nutmeg brown eyes held a determined look. The background was a raging sea in a storm with a bolt of lightning giving an eerie flash of light to the scene and Jushiro stood on the cliffs. This one too, like Kuchiki's was, apparently, extremely popular, Yuki had to admit that the rain drops slowly falling down his hair and torso gave it a "sexy" look.

This person was the man she liked, the man she loved, and he would never return her feelings. Her eyes returned to its original despairing state and she looked down, willing the tears to not fall. Kiyone and Isane exchanged a look before shouting out, "OMG!! You like UKITAKE-TAICHOU!!!" Everyone suddenly looked up again and the attention was once again on Yuki. "You like my captain?" ,asked Rukia, all the once collapsed women started circling around Yuki. She slowly walked backwards before hitting the wall. She knew that there was no where to run and she was now surrounded. "Tell us..." ,the all women said.

"Shit!" ,Yuki muttered before taking out her katana,

"KILL! AMIDA!!"

it immediately transformed into a scythe and Yuki swung it against the wall. Like she expected the wall cracked and Yuki swung again to make a large hole in the wall. She jumped through, trying to escape the shinigami that were now chasing her. "CATCH HER! Nii-sama!!",she heard Rukia shout before running into the grasps of a certain half-naked Byakuya Kuchiki...
