"Hello, everybody! Thanks to DeviantHollow23 for showing to pick up Shirosaki!" I call out. The audience from the Bleach cast grumbles. "I wanna cut somethin' up," Kenpachi says irritably.

"I'll give up all my candy for Uki-chan!" Yachiru declares, striding up to the foot of the stage with a big-ass bag of candy towed behind her. Ukitake smiles and leans down over the side of the stage to pat her on the head. "Thank you. I'll consider it," he tells her.

Ichigo is still sitting in his chair, but this time with his hands folded in his lap. I have removed the bungee cord cuz he's reverted to a relatively emo state and feels bad now for having to choose between a bunch of psychotic fans who'd do practically anything for him.

Mangareader125: *looks at Ichigo with stony eyes while reading Icha Icha Paradise* "Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something? I couldn't tell with all the bad vibes I was getting from you."

A doom and gloom aura permeates the atmosphere around Ichigo.

*closes book* "I'll offer up 1000 paper cranes for Ukitake (in hopes that his illness gets better). This isn't a bid, but I just hope that you get better."

Ukitake smiles widely and accepts the tons of paper cranes. "Thank you so much!" he says, and runs over, collides with, and ultimately glomps the living daylights out of Mangareader125.

"Finally, I'll offer up a replica of Nejibana for Kaien when he goes up for offer just to give him away to our very own Kevvy Talks!"

"KYAA!" I go over and glomp Mangareader125 as well, dogpiling the poor fan along with Ukitake.

Storygirl11: "BOOYAH! My unyeilding persistence works! I also throw in some magic stars! Oh, and my magic mushroom is AWESOME! Last time I had one, the last thing I remembered was that I was sitting down at home and then I woke up on the beach!"

I whirl around and point my finger at Ichigo, who has perked up somewhat but still carries a sullen outward exterior so as to not fool anybody. "SEE, I TOLD YOU THEY WERE THE SHROOMS THAT MAKE YOU HIGH!"

Ichigo sweatdrops. "Um, okay. Thanks."

Anime-kisses: *sniffles* "Ichi doesn't think my bid is good enough...I understand..." *stands in a corner crying and growing mushrooms* "Im'a gonna grow my own damn magic mushroom."

Ichigo looks noticeably perturbed and nervous. He begins to fiddle around with his hands.

"I-I'm sorry," he says, somewhat pathetically. "If it helps...it was a really cool offer."

*straightens up* "Jushiro, I'll throw in a cure for your TB and-I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO OFFER! All I can say is please, please accept my offer because I absolutely LOVE you. Screw Byakuya, you're the coolest and sexiest captain!"

Ukitake blushes about the "sexy" part. "Well, I don't know about that," he mumbles, shuffling his feet awkwardly.

"You've been my favorite character ever since the first chapter you were introduced! If there's anything you want, desire, or need, I will get it for you!" *coughs* "I'm sorry, I just really love you. Despite my outbreak, I'm really calm and am nothing like your 3rd seats. Please be adopted by me."

"Aw." Ukitake goes over to pat Anime-kisses on the shoulder. "It's alright. There, there..."

He crosses his hands in front of him and gives her a curt nod before returning to the stage.

Alchemistofpeace: "You can also have my soul if you want, Jushiro. Excuse me." Alchemistofpeace vanishes from the stage, and from far away this can be heard: "OH MY FREAKING GOD! UKITAKE HUGGED ME! I'LL NEVER SHOWER AGAIN! WAAAAAHOOOOHHHH!"

"I don't want your soul. You wouldn't be you without it, and, quite frankly, I like you the way you are." Ukitake chuckles. "But thanks for the offer. I'm glad you liked my hug." He goes back over to glomp Alchemistofpeace again. Then Kiyone and Sentaro get involved, and soon enough, everybody wants a hug from Jushiro.

To be continued...

I'm sorry that this wasn't such a lengthy chappy like the rest, but I have reasons for it. Right now, schoolwork is getting in the way, therefore I had to cut this short. I didn't respond to most of the reviews. To those, I apologize. Your bids were considered, but I'd already made up my mind. Those people are: MisplacedSanity, toshirolovr94, and Akako Hama.

A drum roll begins as Ichigo and I stand up. "To the lucky person who has won Ichigo Kurosaki, you are...

Storygirl11!" I get pushy and drag Ichigo backstage so Storygirl11 can claim ownership of him.

To all those who bidded on Ichi: ALL of them were wonderful. A handful of them had winning material, even. However, I chose Storygirl11 cuz she was wacky with her bids. She was also persistent, in claiming of ownership of Ichi as well as her wackiness. Anime-kisses, don't cry!

All of you did a good job. Deep down, I think all of you are winners.

Right now, Anime-kisses, you are at the top of the list for Ukitake. Alchemistofpeace is nearly on par with you, so I'm going to wait one more chappy before I decide who will win Ukitake.

Next chapter, ULQUIORRA SCHIFFER IS GOING ON DISPLAY! For anyone who wants Ulquiorra, bid now.

Rukia stands up, clutching the blue special edition plushie Mangareader125 gave her to her bosom.

She sobs. "BUT, ICHIGO, YOU ASS, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP CHAPPYYYYYY!"

"SCREW CHAPPY!" Ichigo howls from backstage.

"WHAT ABOUT MY UNDYING LOYALTY AS YOUR FRIEND, YOU BASTARD?" she shrieked, pissed off now.

"WHO GIVES A FUCK?" someone from the audience bellowed.

Important A/N: To my readers, a problem seems to have arisen concerning the manner of your bids. One of my readers, who will remain anonymous, pointed this out. Please, please do not rip off other people's bids by stealing their ideas. Your bid should be unique to you and you alone. Not only that, it doesn't make it any easier if someone, say, bids a bag of candy, and you turn around and bid a bag of candy as well and add stuff to it. Use your own ideas. No stealing. Thank you.
