Chapter Twenty-Six
Ichigo heard a soft murmur come from his closet early that morning. It had bothered him all through out the night, and he was about to kill the next person who came in. Ichigo clandestinely rolled out of bed, crawling to the closet. The murmurs persisted as he grew near and nearer to the closet. Ichigo slowly placed his hand on to the little notch for gripping, and slid the door open.
Ichigo could barely make out what was in the closet. He saw the small outline of Rukia, but something was happening in front of her.
"And so the man-rabbit went to ask out the lady-rabbit, but she rejected him for the tenth time." Ichigo heard Rukia murmur.
" 'No I won't go out with you! Now stop asking me!'" Rukia mimicked a snobbish old woman's voice.
"'But I love you! I want you to go out with me!!'" She mimicked an older gentleman's voice. Ichigo could barely hold his laughs in. His laughs were contained in by a set of broad lips that were snapped shut, but soon they would break. Ichigo's laughter filled the closet space as Rukia turned around slowly, death in her eyes.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Ichigo bellowed between laughs. Rukie dropped the small stuffed rabbits, to climb out of the closet space.
"You were watching me this whole time?!" Rukia snapped at him. Ichigo nodded his head, rolling across the floor. Rukia tackled Ichigo into the floor evening harder, her fingers coiled around his neck.
"You little!" She screamed shaking his neck back and forth.
"Little?! Who are you calling little?" He manage to get out. A vein popped in Rukia's head. She squeezed her fingers around his neck even harder, shaking vigorously.
"Okay! I'm sorry!!" Ichigo screamed. Rukia released his neck, which had red marks from her fingers.
"You better be." Rukia muttered, hopping back into her little closet space.
"' And so the man-rabbit went to ask out the lady-rabbit, but she rejected him for the tenth time.'" Ichigo recited. The closet door opened again, a red eye peeked from the crack.

Renji had just got a call from his Taicho, telling him he had to be there in five minutes. Renji had just awoken from a catnap, and he was cranky if he was awoken from catnaps. Renji sluggishly fumbled to his Taicho's headquarters, banging on the door loudly. The door clicked, and opened.
"Ah! Renji you're here. I need help." Byakuya said. Renji groaned, stepping into the room that smelled of one-thousand sakura petals. He looked around, everything seemed to be in place.
"So what is it you want me to do?" He asked skeptically, hanging on the door frame. Byakuya turned his head with a shock expression. He held up one chopstick, missing its mate.
"My chopstick fell on the floor. Can you get me another one?" Byakuya asked sitting onto the couch, leafing through a book. Renji's head struck the ground.
"You wake me up for a damn chopstick?!" Renji screamed. Byakuya turned his head, and nodded.
"Yes. Now hurry, I'm getting hungry." He said flicking his hand towards Renji. He groaned, dragging his feet to the closet. He opened the wooden door, the smell of plastic flew past him. Renji grabbed a plastic chopstick, slamming the door shut, and striding back to his Taicho.
"Here." He said throwing the choptstick. Byakuya caught the plastic chopstick with one hand, stared at it and turned his head to face Renji. He had already get pass the door when he heard his name once again.
"Renji! This chopstick's blue! The one I'm holding is pink!!" Shrieked Byakuya. A vein popped in Renji's head. He ran to the closet, pulling the door open, and grabbed the bucket of chopsticks.
"HERE ARE YOUR DAMN CHOPSTICKS!" Renji screamed dumping the barrel onto his superior's head.

Deep in the alleyways of Karakura was a small shop, a shop of wonders. Urahara laid outside, his legs hanging over the edge of the porch. A bottle of sake was in his hand, yet he seemed sober.
"Okay.. I think I get that part.. But can you repeat that second part again?" He asked his old cat friend. A sigh came from her.
"If you take this and put it with that it will make this!" She repeated for the seventh time. Urahara got up, setting the bottle on the wooden porch.
"So if I take this and put it with this it will make that?" He asked again.
"No, no, no. You go it wrong. You've got to take that with that and it'll make that." She said. Urahara drew a confused face.
"But you just said if I take this and put it with that it'll make this!" He exclaimed.
"Precisely! But if you put that with these two it'll make this." Yoruichi said.
"Ooh! I think I have it now." He said stroking his stubbled chin. He looked down onto the porch, putting something into another thing.
"It doesn't look right. It looks like a monster." He said. The two stared at the puzzle. Pieces were out of place, and some were even shoved together to fit.
"You're right. Maybe Tessai will get it." Yoruichi agreed. Urahara clapped his hands together, a smile on his face.
"Good idea" He said.
"Ooh Tessai!!" Urahara sang gleefully.

Moriko and Toushirou hung out in the office that special day. Moriko laid across on the office chair, her legs hanging off the arm of the chair. Toushirou, however, was laying on the ground faced down.
"You wanna go again?" Moriko asked with confidence. Toushirou groaned, flipping over.
"Bring it on." Toushirou said getting up, crawling on his knees over to the chair. Moriko pulled a small black hat off of the table, shoving it towards Toushirou. He dug his fingers into the small black hat pulling out a piece of paper. He read it slowly and sighed. Toushirou started to roll around on the floor like a small child.
"A panther." Moriko said. Toushirou stopped and looked up.
"How did you know?" He asked getting up.
"I was going to say a log, but I looked down and it said panther." Moriko replied, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.
"That's cheating!" Toushirou shrieked. Moriko laughed sarcastically.
"Cheating? How the hell am I suppose to know that your rolling is a freaking panther?!" Moriko exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air. Toushirou grunted crossing his arms against his chest.
"Well I'm sorry I'm not a cheater." Toushirou said turning his head to the side, to face the wall. Moriko huffed.
"Well at least I can act like a panther." Moriko said, a brush of cockiness in her words. Toushirou turned to face her, disbelief in his eyes.
"Really? Show me then." He said, Moriko smirked. Moriko jumped off the chair, tackling Toushirou into the carpeted ground. A large thump erupted from the ground. Toushirou looked in front of him, he saw Moriko.
"Roar." She said nonchalantly. Toushirou frowned, Moriko laughing, he joined in.
A life saved, another taken.
