"So... What do you think?" Isane smiled brightly and squirmed into a more comfortable position against his chest.

"Isane... I love you, but this idea is... fucking stupid." Ikkaku sighed and then winced as the tall woman bit his arm hard enough to leave an arc of tooth marks. "Ouch! Sorry, but it's the truth! Dammit, stop biting me!"

"Ikkaku, you ass! It would work!" She glared at him, giving him one last irritated bite. "You taught me. I taught Yumi. Why does it have to stop there?"

"Because my men would eat them alive, that's why!" Ikkaku rubbed his arm and frowned at the marks. "Isane... It sounds nice, but who would even participate? The Fourth Division would be too terrified, and the Eleventh would be too arrogant."

"You mean if I can find people to participate, you'll support me?" Isane grinned and rolled on top of him. He narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew that grin. That meant she was a step ahead of him. Reluctantly, he nodded.

"Yeah... If you find someone from each division to volunteer for the program, I'll take it to your Captain."

"Excellent!" Isane trailed kisses down his neck and purred against him. "Hanataro and Tatsuki are in."

"You... Fine." Ikkaku sighed and lay back before smiling. "This is never going to end well, you know that, right?" He ran his hands up and down her bare spine.

"We will make it work." She sat up and smiled down at him. "Now... No more business talk."

"Yes Doc."
