For those of you who didn't know, the songs that Tara and Bren were singing last chapter were 'What is this Feeling?' and 'One Short Day' from Wicked. If you don't know them, I strongly suggest that you check them out, because they are amazing. I also suggest that you see Wicked if it ever comes to your area. It is super special awesome!

Anyways, if I owned Bleach, they would randomly break out into song, all the time. They would be in the middle of a Captain's Meeting and all of a sudden somebody would start to sing. And then everybody else would join in. There might be a little bit of dancing going on there too XD

Tara and Bren fell silent as their captor stepped into the room, totally visible. Janice and Annica instantly started complaining, but they were ignored.

"Where're the claws?" both Tara and Bren asked at the same time. "And since when do the evil villains in real life get to be hot? That only happens in anime, where everybody's either extremely hot, or really fat and ugly, but usually hot. This is not anime." The man on the floor below them smiled, showing sharp rows of teeth.

"Would you prefer this?" the man asked, his body stretching like rubber, and morphing into a large monster that appeared to be part spider, part dragon and part… something else. Janice and Annica shrieked. Tara and Bren just frowned.

"We weren't complaining exactly," Bren began.

"We were just wondering," Tara added.

"But if it's all the same to you, we like the other one better," they finished together. Once again, his body stretched and morphed back into the shirtless, slim, gorgeous man of a few moments earlier.

"Another question though," Bren continued.

"Why are you blue?" Tara completed the question.

"It's quite… odd."

"But extremely attractive."

"Very attractive."

The man scuttled up the wall with the grace of a spider, and settled himself close to the two captured girls. "Why is your skin pale?" he wanted to know.

"Because skin colour is a hereditary trait passed down by your parents," Bren and Tara chorused. "And my parents had pale skin."

"Ah… Well, I just learnt something new today. The answer I was expecting was 'I was born this way'."

"So did your parents had blue skin?" Tara asked.

"… No."

"Was it green?" Bren sounded totally serious. Only somebody who knew her extremely well, like Tara, would be able to see the gleam of mischief in her eyes.

"Er… No actually."

"Orange?" Tara added. Only Bren was able to notice the small smirk flickering on the corner of her mouth.

"No…"

"Oh, I know! It was pink, wasn't it?"

"…"

"Was that a yes or a no?"

"It was a no."

"Aww… yellow then?"

"No."

"Purple. It was purple, wasn't it?"

"My mom's is."

"Haha!"

"You're dad's was red then."

"Yes."

"Woo! High fi- that's not possible. Dammit."

"We'll have to remember that for as soon as we get out."

"Unless, of course, you'd be so kind as to let us out of this net thing."

The man was just staring at them with the look that people often got when they spent some time in the company of Bren and Tara. Janice and Annica were also wearing it. Bren and Tara ignored this.

"So, did you want something?" they asked together.

"Not… really."

"Great!"

Scream, shout, scream, shout,

We are the fallen angels!

We are the in between,

Cast down as sons of war, struck to the earth like lightning

On this world we're torn

We won't cause the pain

Of living out their law

Take joy in who you are

We know our wings are flawed

Woah!

We're bored to death in heaven,

And all alone in hell,

We only want to be ourselves

We scream,

We shout,

We are the Fallen Angels!

They continued to sing, ignoring the confused stares they were gathering. It was normal to them, and besides, it wasn't them who were weird, it was everybody else. Obviously.

Renji was still having troubles figuring out what the strange yet familiar tangled reiatsu came from. He was sure that he had felt it many times before; it had a comforting feeling to it, almost like the feeling of Byakuya or Kaili's reiatsu, yet newer, and weirder. But where he knew it from, he couldn't remember. It was bothering him, as was the monster's 'one full day' warning. They could easily make it up the mountain in far less than a day, so what did it have planned?

Byakuya seemed equally worried. His face was pulled into that tiny frown that he only got when he was concerned over something, and he had already taken out the kenseikan and stored them away in some safe pocket- although that could have just been because he hated the damn things. Renji couldn't blame him. No matter how much time he spent studying the little ceramic tubes, he couldn't figure out how they worked, nor could he even guess at their basic purpose. Even after watching Byakuya put them in every morning, he still didn't get it.

Silently, they continued upwards, alert and waiting for their next challenge. When it came at them, roaring and shooting flames, they were ready.

"Do you have a water jug or something?" Bren asked.

"A what?"

"A water jug," Tara repeated, slowly, as though he were stupid.

"What's that?" Janice snapped. She was had already been annoyed enough by the two girls' singing. Now they were just being infuriating.

"You know, a jug with water in it."

"A water bottle," Annica corrected snobbishly.

"Exactly. A water jug."

"It's called a water bottle," Annica informed them. "Nobody calls it a water jug."

"It's a water jug," Bren replied calmly.

"We're right," Tara added.

"The universe is wrong." Bren agreed.

"… That's just stupid! You're stupid!"

"…"

"Beginning to regret your choice of captives?" Bren asked.

"A bit."

"At least we're entertaining."

"Yes. But the problem is, you aren't entertaining in the way that I wanted you to be."

"Sorry. You probably should have just gone with Whiny and Idiot over there instead of picking us up. I'm pretty sure that it would've worked out then."

"Yes well, what's done is done."

"True. So… what exactly did you need us for?"

"Entertainment."

"Ah… We're good at that!"

Master!

Apprentice!

Heartborne, Seventh Seeker!

Warrior!

Disciple!

In me, the Wishmaster!

"That wasn't the entertainment I meant," he complained. But Tara and Bren ignored him.

"A dragon!" Renji exclaimed, diving out of the way of the latest jet of fire. "It has a fucking dragon?"

Byakuya didn't reply. He was too busy trying not to be fried.

Kaili danced backwards agilely, drawing Arashi. Maybe shikai hadn't worked on an unseen monster, but a dragon would be easy. After all, she knew where it was. All that she had to do was avoid getting burned.

"Shit! There's another one!"

"Another two," Byakuya corrected softly, pulling Senbonzakura from his sheath. "One for each of us."

"Come on!" Kaili called. "We've only got one day!"

Right. The songs from this chapter were 'Fallen Angels' by the Black Veil Brides, and 'Wishmaster' by Nightwish. Check them out, they are awesomeness in its purest form.

Review and tell me what you liked, didn't like etc.
