Imnotinsane13: Wow!! 23 hits!! Thanks so much!! And much thanks to kira michi for Favoriting!! And now, Ken-chan!!! Take it away for the disclaimer!! Reviews are loved!! Renji is loved more!!!

Kenpatchi: Imnotinsane13 doesnt own Bleach or any of the music she involves in it... Thank god for that.

I watched the world outside...By the way, I'm leaving out today...I just saw Halley's Comet she waved, Said "why you always running in place?"...Even the man in the moon disappeared...Somewhere in the stratosphere

-A Few days later....- "Ppppllllleeeeeaaassseee??? (please)" "No." "Pretty please!?!" "I said No." Kimiko and Yumichika are begging Renji to go shopping with them... Sadly, this is a battle even Kenpachi can't win, especially with Kimiko's puppy-dog pout. Ikkaku already agreed. Renji sighs and says, "Fine... But only if Hisagi comes with." "Then Momo-kun and Rangiku-kun have to come too!" Kimiko counter-offers. "Done," Renji says, not really knowing what he's getting himself into. -Ten Minutes later.- "DUMBASS!!!" "BITCH" "DICK-HEAD!!" "WHORE!" "VIRGIN!!!" Kimiko and Shuhei argue back and forth untill Yumichika pulls Kimiko aside with him and the girls. Shuhei grunts in frustration, "She has NOT changed since the Academy!" Renji looks at the girls, and Yumichika, and smiles slightly, "Only her looks..." Shuhei looks at Kimiko also, "Yeah... She has gotten cuter... Better hurry and ask her to the event her brother is havin'... I'm sure she'll be asked if she hasn't already..." Renji pales slightly, "Wh-what makes you think that I wanna ask her?!?" Ikkaku and Shuhei both say, "It's obvious, you idiot." "Then how come she can't see it?" Renji says. "Maybe she's stupid..." Shuhei suggests. "Or maybe you haven't shown her you like her yet..." Yumichika says, appearing by Renji. "How do I show her?" Renji says. "How should I know?" Yumichika shrugs. -Meanwhile- Kimiko and Rangiku are chatting. "Well, Kimi-kun, Now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!" Rangiku says, cheerfully. "Y-you really don't have to do that!" Kimiko says, smiling slightly. "I know! Thats what makes me nice!" Rangiku says, "With my help, Kimiko-kun, You...will...be... Popular!" Kimiko looks at Rangiku, "Really?" "Yeah! You and I are the same build!" Rankigu smiles, gesturing to their bodies, "I'll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys, little ways to flirt and look cute!" "Uhm, Rangiku... You don't have to do that! You and I both know that no man would ever be interested in me..." Kimiko says as she looks down. Renji overheard this and he so desparetly wants to say, 'No... That's not true...' But he's too much of a coward to tell her. Ikkaku and Hisagi groan to Renji's density when it comes to relationships.

----Meanwhile, In Squad Six's Captain's office.----

There's a loud knock at Captain Kuchiki's office door. "Enter," He says, not looking up from his paperwork. Kenpachi Zaraki enters, "Your sister ran off with my third and fifth seat." He states, glaring down at Byakuya. "She's your responsibility, as you are her Captain." Byakuya says, still not looking up. Kenpachi growls as he turns to leave, "Oh, And she ran off with your leiutenant, also." He says as he hands Byakuya a note, "She left this." He turns and leaves the room. Byakuya sighs and opens the letter.

"Dear Bya-kun,

Sorry, but I stole Ren-chan for the day!! I promise I'll give him back!! No promises on him being in one piece though... Oh, and please ease up on his work-load, okay? He didnt tell me to ask you but I can only assume... Luv Ya~ Kimi "

Byakuya sighs as he reads the letter. 'I guess one day off shouldn't hurt... He'll need all the help he can get if he's dealing with Kimiko, though...' he thinks as he silently wishes Renji luck.

-----Back with Kimi----

"How about this dress, Kimi?"

"Rangiku, that thing barely covers ANYTHING!!"

"Okay, then how about this one?"

"THAT'S a dress!?! I thought it was underwear!?"

"Oh, Come on, Kimi!! Here, this looks cute!"

"Fine, Yumi, I'll try it on."

This is what Ikkaku, Hisagi and Renji have to sit through in the fitting rooms. "How long does it take to pick a damn dress?!" Ikkaku pokes his head out, "It takes a while! Kimi needs a new dress to get a guy!" He pulls his head back in before Renji steams, "What!?" He yells as he jumps up. "Calm down, Abarai, people are staring." Hisagi says. Renji sits back down. "Alright boys! Here's Kuchiki Kimiko!" Rangiku says, pulling back the curtain. Renji, Hisagi and Ikkaku's jaws drop.

"Isn't she lovely?" Yumichika sighs as Kimiko looks in the mirror, "Wow... I like it!" She's wearing a short, black Kimono style dress with blood red flowers embroidered on it. "W-wow Kimiko... I-Is that you?! Ikkaku says. "Do you guys like it?" she asks. "Yeah." The guys say. "Really?! Then I'll take it!" Kimiko says as she flounces off into the changing room.

When Kimiko leaves the changing room, her captain is there!! "There you are!" Kenpachi growls as he sees Kimiko. "Is there something wrong, Taicho?" She asks, a little worried. "You mobilized two other members of the squad without permission." He growls. Kimiko just stares at him, "...And?" Kenpachi just stares at her. His reiastu was flaring... and she wasn't cowering in fear like normal people. "What's you're name, woman?" He asks, gruffly. "Kuchiki Kimiko, I'm your fourth seat." She calmly says. A hell butterfly flies into the small store and lands on Kimiko. She closes her eyes and when the butterfly leaves, her eyes widen and she yells, "OH HELL NO!!!" Everyone, but Kenpachi jumps and Renji asks, "What?" "Uhg... My captain has to be my escort for the goddamn event!" Kimiko groans.
