'OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! GO AND SHAKE ON THAT ASS, BABY!' Keigo screams out with champagne in hand as he obliges a blonde stripper pole danced right in front of him. In contrast, he was completely drunk out of his mind and having the time of his life.

While Ichigo looked away in shame and continued to sip a non-alcoholic cherry soda, on top of being glade, his other two friends still had their wits about them even if they were still drinking beer and flirting with the women around them. Along with having ordered an entire table filled with grilled steak, chicken, pork, and shrimp.

'So Ichigo...how do you like Pepe's Heaven of Love? ' Chad asked before gulping down a whole bottle of beer. At the same time, the shinigami took a piece from one of the steaks and began eating it.

'Well...it at least has decent food, I'll give you that. But I can do well without all the skimpy women dancing right in front of me,' Ichigo criticized. But Chad cast a look of doubt.

'Oh really?' The half-Mexican question. 'I saw you were taking quick peaks at the ladies when you thought no one else was looking,' he accused the shingmai while the latter could only look away in defeat.

Though Chad still tried to encourage him. 'Oh come, Ichigo. There is nothing wrong with engaging in your manly desires once in and while. After all, you only lived once.'

Kurosaki then went red. 'I rather live my life as a decent man without everyone thinking I am a pervert!

'Too late now, given how infamous you are and that many people have already seen you come in here,' the director pointed out, and Ichigo, upon realizing his friend was right, could only lower his head down in further embarrassment.

'Damn it all...' he cursed,' but then, just when Ichigo was about to get some more meat. Hoping that a full stomach would drown out his misery, he heard a woman shout.

'THE FUCK YOU SAY, YOU BITCH!?'' She roared, and the shingmai instantly recognized that it belonged to Tatsuki, and when he turned around, he saw that she was arguing with Candice.

'I had these seats registered months ago for this night only, and you can't just take that away from me!' Tatsuki yelled, but the sternritter just rolled her eyes.

'Oh, come off it. You are not the one with the right to see hot naked guys shaking their stuff or getting it on down here. Hell, You rarely even go to the soul society, let alone this place. So I don't see why you can't just sit somewhere else?' Cadence reasons half-heartedly but this only piss the special agent off even more.

'You know damn well that this place is constantly booked nearly every night and that the only real way to get in is by making a reservation. I can't sit somewhere else because every other spot has already been taken!' The xcuation agent argued, and as Ichigo looked around, he realized that Tatsuki was right. The entire lobby and bar were filled to the brim with customers. With not a single empty seat in sight.

Which only makes him dread what will happen next.

'Well, that is too bad, ' Candice dismiss mockingly. 'Because I, for one, 'am not going to get rid of this seat for a complete no-show, who has no reason to be here, to begin with!'

Tatsuki then fumed. 'We are in the black city...The main headquarters of the Xcuation...If anything, the only one who shouldn't be heard is you!'

A tic then formed on Candice's head. "Oh, so it's like that, huh, Ms. firecracker? Then I'll just beat your ass out of here and make you know your place!'

The hotheaded complete ringer then gave off a bloodlust grin. 'OH, BRING IT ON BITCH!'

However, before a brawl could break between the two hateful women, a deep soothing male voice suddenly spoke to them.

'Ladies, please,' the voice said from behind the women. 'This is a place of pleasure and relaxation. 'Not of battle and strife.'

Ichigo then turned his head to find the source of the voice and saw a dark-skin man who wore an open feathery vest. A pimp's hate and leather pants, all colored in blinding white, making him stick out in the darkly lighted lounge like a feathery swan in the moonlight. At the same time, his face was so pretty. Even when he wore a pair of shades that covered his eyes, Ichigo couldn't help but mistake him for a female.

For he was the sternrriter who carried the letter of the L the love and the owner of the Love Heaven itself.

Pepe Waccabrada, the sternrriter of held the Schrift of the Love.

'I am sure that as fellow patrons of this establishment, we can work something out,' the man reason, and much to Ichigo's surprise, both Tatsuki and Candice seem to take his world at value.

'And what do you have in mind, Pepe?' Tatsuki asked, which then made the pretty man smirk.

'Oh, I believe an exotic dance music number would suffice. Given that this is a place for lustful entertainment,' the man offered, which then made Tatsuki blush while Candice looked annoyed.'

'Tch, figures you would pull something like that...but since this means I get the opportunity of showing up this upstart once and for all. I'll take you up on that offer.'

A vein then pops up on Tatsuki's forehead. 'Oh, so you want to show me up, huh? Find then you're on!'

Pepe then sported a wide lustful grin. 'Excellent, so here are the rules,' he said while giving the fullbringer and sternritter each a microphone. 'Both of you will try to seduce a man within the audience as you dance and sing to him, and whichever of you...' the man then paused a bit while carefully considering his words. 'Makes said host nose bleed first wins!'

Ichigo then narrowed his eyes in disbelief and disgust.

'Who in their right mind would want to be a host to that?!' He thought to himself until he saw that both Tatsuki and Cadance were staring directly at him.

A few minutes later.

'Ladies and Gentlemen...' Pepe announces to the lounge as he stands up on the stage. Causing everyone to turn their attention to him. 'For tonight, I present an erotic song and dance off between Candice the Thunder and Tatsuki, the flaming empress!'

Pepe then gestured his hands to both the sternritter and the fullbringer while Ichigo stood in the middle sitting in a flip chair.

'I can't believe this happing to me...' Ichigo thought in despair and panic.

'Alright, DJ, hit it!' Pepe yelled as Shojo S by Sandal then began to play over the speakers. At the same time, both Candice and Tatsuki started bobbing their heads to the music.

Candice then sang first while walking up to Ichigo.

'That is not what you were saying before. I was able to show you a little of the real me.' she sang while getting upright in front of the shinigami's face making him blush.

'But you just get annoyed, annoyed, annoyed!' She spun Ichigo's chair around to the right and began sitting right on his lap while pressing her boobs against his chest.

'And treat me like an Object' Candice then put her head right next to Ichigo's while smiling at him seductively. Causing the latter to gasp for air from the sensation alone. 'That's not what you were saying before!'

Then all of a sudden. Ichigo's chair was then pulled away by Tatsuki, who turned it around to make the young man face her directly and then began singing right into his face. 'Those days you were blaming someone else and running and hiding.'

She then shoved her bust directly into Kurosaki's face while she kept singing.

'Won't get you anywhere' she then turned her back around at Ichigo and then shoved herself right into his lap, causing him to squirm. 'I'm sorry, but it's goodbye for now.'

Candice pulled the chair away again by Candice, who then gave Tatsuki a massive stink eye. Who, in turn, return the favor. They decided to compete in a duet before trying to grab Ichigo's chair away from her, resulting in a tug of war between the two.

'The Selfness that allows you me to say that I need.'

'Love or friendship, I just want to know.'

I'm waiting for you to someday knock on the door to your heart!'

They sang in perfect sync before slamming their heads against each other and turning their attention to the reluctant Ichigo.

Candice then turned Ichigo's chair to make him face her as sweat dripped down her face and chest. 'It's not just about you anymore!' she then stomps her right foot on Ichigo's chair with her right foot. Which nearly landed near his privates. 'I think you need to get hurt a little!'

Tatsuki slammed the chair down to the ground and stared at Ichigo right into his eyes while singing the other verses. 'Don't deceive me with kind words like that' she lowered her gaze down to Ichigo's, who tried in vain to avoid direct eye contact. ' I can't believe them; don't try to look cool!'

Candice then grabbed Ichigo from his chair and put it on the center stage. Which then made Tatsuki push her away once more, and then the two began to sing a line from the verse together. 'No, matter how many years go by, don't stop.'

Then upon staring into each other's eyes, the two girls decided to one-up with another duet.

'Just tell me honestly that you need me,' they sang loudly as they got into each other faces.

'An after-image of love is a dreaming girl's escape!' the women then began dancing along with the music while shaking and moving their bodies as seductively as possible.

'Someday, you'll break the key to my heart!' As the fullbringer and sternrriter continued to try to sing each other out. Ichigo then saw his chance to get off the stage. Only to be pulled back in his seat by Candice. In turn, Tatsuki grabbed hold of the chair, and soon both girls began singing directly into his face. Their entire bodies were now almost entirely covered in sweat.

'The selfness that allows me to say I need you!' they both sang simultaneously and directly at Ichigo's face as it turned bright red.'

'Love or friendship, I just want to know' As the two girls' faces inched closer, the shinigami suddenly became much more light-head.

'I'm waiting for you to accept my true heart!' Kurosaki then giggled as the sensation overwhelmed his mind, and blood began to drip down his nose.'

Seeing their chance, Candice and Tatsuki then finish the last lyrics.

'I don't need anything else' the shinigami's nose began to tremble.

'I just want to believe in tomorrow!' They sing out the last lyric and then, as if on cue. Ichigo's nose then exploded into a fountain of blood. At the same time, falling out of his chair, off the stage, and crashed into the floor below. This was then followed by the entire club clapping in a massive please by the performance.

Which, much to the two girl's embarrassment, caused them to wave back awkwardly

'Excellent job ladies!' Pepe shouted out in congratulation and, at the same time, hugged both women in each of his arms. 'You two put on a performance that would shame most of my professionals. I properly should do this more often.'

Tatsuki then rolled her eyes while Candice just snorted.

'Yeah, I'm glad you all had your fun,' the sternrriter said dismissively. 'So anyway, who won?'

Pepe then glinted in his eyes. 'Ah yes, of course, he pulled out a computer tablet from his coat. 'Let's look at what the cameras have captured with a little slow-mo.'

Candice and Tatsuki then stared at the screen at the tablet as they watched in slow-motion of Ichigo getting his nose bled...' but to their frustration, they couldn't tell who managed to do it first; in fact, it looked more like a...

'ITS A TIE!' both the sternrriter and the special agent declared as they looked at the screen again.

'Damn it!' Tatsuki cursed. Your telling we did all that dancing, singing, and sweating for nothing!'

Pepe then shrugged. 'Well, what do you expect? Both of you girls chose to make a duet of the song you were trying to out-compete with each other. A song meant to be sung as a duet' He then gave them a devilish grin. 'Unless you two want to go for another round.'

Both fullbringer and Quincy gave Pepe a dissatisfied glare.

'Oh fuck it all,' Candice cursed in frustration. Until Keigo then walked up to them.

'Uh, if you both don't mind, you can have our seats, ' Aasno said, much to Candice's and Tatsuki's confusion.

Then Keigo gestured both hands to an unconscious fallen Ichigo, whose blood continued to drip down his nose. At the same time, Chad pulled him up by the arms, and Mizuiro grabbed hold of his legs. 'Sadly, it seems that this Kurosaki couldn't handle the sure erotica of this place after all. So all of us are going to be clocking in for tonight.'

Candice and Tatuski both gave a slight look of guilt after what they had done to Ichigo, though they felt a little better since there were now enough seats for both of them.

'Well, at the least, that dancing wasn't a complete waste of time,' Tatsuki muttered while Candice shrugged.

'I supposed...but still, I rather have it that at least one of us won,' the sternrriter bitterly remarked.

'You don't have to remain me,' the agent agreed and then looked back at the blond girl.

'Want to get wasted?' She asked.

'Hell's yeah!' The sternrriter shouted in excitement before the two ladies sat next to each as if they were the best of friends.
