---

It was around 3 in the afternoon and guess where I was at. I was sitting in my Taicho's office, waiting for him to bring back our bimbo-ish Fukutaicho. I sighed as I did some of her paperwork so that she could finish faster when Taicho had gotten her.

'Matsumoto, why can't you ever do your paperwork on time and not leave me to do part of it,' I thought to myself as I continued doing paperwork. 'I swear, I think my hand is going to cramp up after doing paperwork for two hours non-stop.'

"I wish I had some candy to fuel me up right now. Maybe Hitsugaya-taicho has some from the last time Ukitake-taicho visited," I said aloud this time to no one in particular.

Yes, I called our beloved Hitsugaya Toushirou by his title. I mean, if I was in his position, I would probably hate it as well. Besides, I respect the guy because he personally chose me to be his third seat. I rummaged through his desk, until I found something that made my eyes shine with excitement.

"Woo hoo! A cherry lollipop!" I un-wrapped the delicious circular sweet on a stick and placed it in my mouth. When it dealt with lollipops and popsicles, I loved cherry.

"But Taicho! Why do I have to do the boring paperwork right now?" Matsumoto Rangiku whined, as she was being dragged in by our Taicho.

"Because you can't let Ishii do all of the work. Maybe I should demote you to third seat and make Ishii Fukutaicho instead," He stated in an angered and annoyed voice.

"Um Hitsugaya-taicho, I am perfectly happy being in my position right now," I commented trying to find a way to calm him down.

"See Taicho! That's why I love Mina-chan!" Matsumoto ran towards me and gave me a huge hug. Unfortunately, that hug was cutting my air supply thanks to her boobs.

"Can't breathe," I was barely able to whisper out.

After Hitsugaya-taicho lectured Matsumoto into doing her paperwork, he said that I was able to go home, but I decided to help her out. Besides, I had nothing better to do.

"Arigato Mina-chan for helping me out!"

I smiled as I did some of the paper. "It's no problem Matsumoto-san."

"Ah I know! Since you have been helping me out with my paper work, how about we go out and have some drinks!"

'Oh no. A drunken Matsumoto is not good. But hey I do need to go out more and all.' "Uhh sure I guess." Matsumoto literally jumped out of her chair with excitement and began to dance around saying how she was going to invite more people and all. "Uh Matsumoto-san, maybe we should finish the paperwork and then go dancing about?"

"Good idea!"

We finished the paper in about an hour and gave them to Hitsugaya-taicho who was in a state of shock. "Wow this has to be a new record or some sort since this is finished by midnight."

"Taicho, maybe you should come with us to get some drinks. Oh wait, but they might think that you are a little kid or something seeing that you are short."

'Bad move, bad move.' I starting pushing Matsumoto out of the door and said to my angered Taicho, "Bye Hitsugaya-taicho, we'll see you tomorrow." As we semi ran out of the place, we were able to hear Hitsugaya-taicho scream out one word,

"MATSUMOTO!"

"Jeez that was a close one. Must you always say something about Hitsugaya-taicho's shortness?" She ignored my comment as her eyes shined when she saw our group. There was Abarai Renji - or as I called him Pineapple Head - Kira Izuru, Hinamori Momo, Kuchiki Rukia, and last but not least Hisagi Shuuhei.

'Please don't blush, please don't blush!!'

"Hey everyone!!" Matsumoto said as she began to drag me since I was walking in such a slow pace.

"Hey where is Baldy and Feathers?" Matsumoto asked as we finally had reached them.

"Must be training or something. Hi Mina-chan!" Rukia said.

"Hey Cherry I haven't seen you in a while." Renji told me.

"Stop calling me Cherry, Pineapple Head!"

"Sorry Cherry but I'm going to keep calling you that until you confess."

'Why was it, out of all people that Renji found out that I have a crush on Hisagi.' Everyone had a confused face except me and Renji of course. "You are soooo asking for a fight right now Renji," I said in a pissed off tone.

He smirked, "Then let's have one."

We all walked towards the training field so we wouldn't destroy anything along the way. Matsumoto was whining saying how we should be getting ready to go out and all. Once we got there, Renji and I went to our positions and took out our Zanpakutous.

"Well Pineapple Head, do you want to release our Zanpakutous or would you just rather wait?" I asked him.

"How about we just release them and if they fight intensifies, we'll see what happens."

"In that case...Battle, Eiyu-Senshi!" I shouted.

"Howl, Zabimaru!"

I waited for him to make the first move.

"Aren't you gonna start, Cherry?"

"No not really. I'm actually waiting on you."

"Alright then!" Renji ran towards me and attacked with Zabimaru. He first tried to cut across my stomach, but he was only able to cut my top.

"You know Renji," I began while I kept dodging his attacks. "If my top gets cut up I'm really going to kill you." He just laughed and kept on fighting. I prepared to make my own attack with Eiyu-Senshi. I ran towards Renji and the next thing you hear is a clang of metal against one another.

I jumped over him, but that didn't seem to work out since his Zabimaru elongated and cut part of my shoulder. I gave him a fierce look and used one of Eiyu-Senshi abilities. I managed to run in a faster speed than Soi Fon-taicho and attacked him from behind. He had a look of shock as I said boo right next to his ear, before I slashed his back. He fell towards the ground but he instantly got up as well.

"I am not going to make the same mistake," I heard him mumble to himself.

He ran to me once again and I did as well. I blocked with Eiyu-Senshi as he tried to hit me once again. Every time he tried to hit me, I would just block back. He tried to stab my right shoulder, but I moved out of the way. I suddenly saw him smirk.

"Oh crap."

Zabimaru was now elongated and I couldn't dodge and because of that, my right side was now currently bleeding.

"Are you ready for my next move Cherry? I'm just glad I got permission to practice it today."

'Great this is gonna get more fun,' I sarcastically thought.

"Bankai!" Renji screamed. The next thing you see was a red glow and finally it had gone away. "Cry out, Zabimaru." Renji was now in his Bankai outfit.

"Crap, crap, crap!" I screamed as Renji kept sending me his Zabimaru. 'Damn thing won't stop following me!'

"C'mon Cherry! Show me your Bankai! I know that you have it. You just don't want people to see it!"

I was able to cut Zabimaru, but it formed back together.

"Sorry Cherry, but Zabimaru's joints are connected together by my reiatsu. So your blade can't cut them!" Suddenly, a red energy blast came out of Zabimaru's mouth and went straight towards me.

"Mina-chan!" Himamori screamed. I suddenly saw a bit of darkness.

'Mina-chan,' a female voice spoke to me in the dark.

'Neko-sama?'

'It's time for you to release your Bankai. To release me.'

'Hai.'

I got up from the ground. I was breathing heavily, my clothes were torn, and I was bleeding pretty badly. I looked towards my left and saw everyone staring in shock.

'They must have thought that I was knocked out.' I looked at Hisagi and I swore I thought I saw his face worried. I must be seeing things. I looked towards Renji.

"Still able to fight I see," He said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah I can still fight. Oh and guess what, I have a surprise for you." I gave a cat like grin and held out Eiyu-Senshi. "BANKAI!"

No One's POV

Dust rose around Mina as she had barely released her Bankai. All those who were watching were shocked at the fact that Mina had Bankai.

'She could be a Fukutaicho or even a Taicho! But I guess the reason why to she didn't say anything is because she likes her current position,' Matsumoto thought.

Hisagi's face was also shocked. He never would imagine Mina to be like that in battle. Well, he hadn't been able to go on a mission with her, but that didn't stop him from watching her train. Hisagi had always felt something for Mina ever since Matsumoto introduced them for the first time. It was Mina who would make him laugh, smile, and talk. He never wanted to admit that he had feelings towards the girl, but Renji was able to notice it right away, and he did end up admitting that he liked her.

No, like wasn't the proper term. The correct one would be love. He had fallen for her. He would always ask Renji to get him information. When Renji told him about how she loves cherry candies, Hisagi would buy them but always have someone else send it to her.

The dust had finally cleared and there was Mina. Everything changed with her. Her once long bottoms were now shorts. Her top had changed to look like a backless halter top. Her shoes were now boots that were flat and a bit below her knee. Her once katana-shaped Eiyu-Senshi was now turned into various types of weapons. She had two sais strapped around her thighs, a pouch that seemed to hold kunais and another that also held kunais and shurikens. It wasn't the weapons and the clothes that shocked them all. On top of her head were two silver cat ears, sharp canines, and she had a more animalistic feeling radiating off of her.

"Attack, Eiyu-Neko-Senshi."

End of No One's POV

I looked at everyone and now they were even more shocked. 'Oh yeah, I have a rare Bankai since I become more animalistic.' I giggled and looked at Renji. "Oi! Are you still going to stare or are you ready to fight again?"

Renji shook his head to try to snap out of his gaze. I looked towards the group and looked at Hisagi. His gaze was still on me, so I winked at him. This time I swore I saw him blush, which made me blush. I felt something coming towards me so I tore my eyes away from him. Renji had once again sent Zabimaru after me.

"Renji do something more original!" I screamed. I took out some kunais out of my pouch, which was attached right next to sai that was on my right leg, and threw them directly towards Renji.

All of them had hit Renji on his right shoulder. I started giggling as I kept running away from Zabimaru. Eiyu-Neko-Senshi allowed me to become even faster, so once I was close to getting hit, I could simply just moved quickly.

'This is soo much fun!' I kept running around for a few more minutes 'til I suddenly got bored. 'Maybe I should just end this now.' I dodged Zabimaru and ended up behind Renji. My sais were placed in front of his throat and I whispered in his ear, "I win."

He sighed in defeat as he lowered Zabimaru. Everyone came running towards us and the first one to say something about my ears was Matsumoto.

"Mina-chan your ears are so kawaii!" She began to pull my ears.

"Matsumoto-san that hurts and please don't scream. My ears are sensitive." As soon as she released me, I returned my Zanpakutou back to its original form. I then turned towards Renji and said two words, "Pay up!"

"Yeah, yeah I know." Renji dug through his pockets and took out three cherry lollipops.

"Yay!" I cheered as I un-wrapped one of the lollipops and stick it in my mouth.

"Mina-chan, maybe we should take you and Renji to 4th squad to get you both healed," Kira said.

"Now why would I need to? I am totally fine." I took a step and literally almost fell. Luckily someone caught me. I looked at my savior and blushed red like a cherry. 'I think I realized why Renji calls me cherry.'

Hisagi Shuuhei was holding me in his arms. "I'll carry Mina. You guys can help Renji." Everyone else simply nodded and out of no where Hisagi lifted me up bridal style.

"Uh Hisagi, I think I can walk." He looked at me with those gorgeous eyes and smiled.

"No. I don't want you to get hurt more. And just call me Shuuhei."

"R-right." I blushed.

He started chuckling at my face so I did something to make him be quiet. I grabbed my current lollipop that was in my mouth and shoved it in his mouth. Realizing this, he blushed, which made me blush too. I looked over his shoulder and saw that everyone was giggling at us two. I gave them a glare. Apparently Shuuhei saw this and asked what was wrong.

"They're laughing at us." He turned his head and saw the idiots laughing, but then turned to look at me.

"How 'bout we lose these dorks and get to 4th Squad faster?"

I grinned, "Sounds good. Oh and can I have my lollipop back?" He removed the delicious treat out of his mouth and placed it back in mine. Suddenly, we were gone in a flash.

We actually got to 4th Squad in about 2 minutes. Shuuhei carried me all the way in and Unohana-taicho took care of my wounds. In a flash, they were gone. Even though my wounds were gone, the tears in my clothes were still there.

"Umm, maybe I should go home and change." I observed myself seeing all those various ragged cuts all over my clothes.

"Maybe Hisagi-fukutaicho should accompany you Ishii-chan." I once again turned into a cherry and nodded to her. 'Curse you blushing!' Shuuhei came over me and he lifted me up and in another flash, we were gone.

'Does he even know where I live?' I thought. "Shuuhei?"

"Yes?"

"Do you even know where I live?" All he did was smirk, stop, and looked forward. I looked and guess where we were at, right in front of my house. I was surprised at the fact that he even knew where I lived. I was about to question him when he answered,

"Matsumoto dragged me here once to try to take you out, but apparently you were on a mission."

"Oooh. And Shuuhei, you can put me down now." He seemed to have barely realized that he was still carrying me. He placed me down and I walked towards the door. "Do you want to come in?" Shuuhei nodded and followed me inside.

I began to head to my room when I asked him, "Do you mind sending Matsumoto a Hell Butterfly telling her to come here?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Thanks." I said with a smile, "I'm going to shower and all so feel free to eat or something. See ya in like 30 minutes."

Shuuhei's POV

Mina left to go take a shower, so I did what she had asked me to. I summoned a Hell Butterfly and told it tell Matsumoto to come here. It flew away and I headed towards the kitchen. I dug around and found some ice cream and popsicles. I grabbed a Popsicle and it turned out to be cherry flavored. That triggered me to think of Mina.

'I really want to confess to her but I get too nervous. Wait, why should I even be nervous? I have fought against large Hollows, so it shouldn't be hard. Alright, I'll try to confess tonight!'

Then there was a knock on the door. I head over to Mina's door, about to open it when it suddenly flies open, almost hitting me in the head.

"Party time!" screamed Renji and Matsumoto. Rukia, Himamori and Kira right behind them.

"Hisagi, how come you haven't changed?" I looked at their clothes and saw that it wasn't our uniform.

"Oh I just brought Mina back here so I couldn't go home yet to change," I told them as I rubbed the back of my rubbed the back of my neck.

"Well go on. We'll go pick an outfit for Mina to get dressed into," Matsumoto said while the other two girls simply nodded.

"Alright, I'll be back soon." I used Shunpo (Flash Step) to arrive much faster and once I got there, I changed.

End of Shuuhei's POV

"Ah that was one refreshing shower!" I said with delight as I entered my room. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Matsumoto, Rukia, and Himamori were rummaging through my closet.

"Mina-chan, we're going partying tonight remember?" Matsumoto said.

Suddenly something clicked in my mind. "Oh yeah! I totally forgot. I need to pick out something to wear."

"We have that covered, Mina-chan," Rukia told me as they all held something out. Hinamori held out a pair of faded black jeans that had a white belt with a few hearts in it. Rukia held an orange long sleeved jacket looking top. It was my favorite shirt, but I wasn't able to wear it since I had no top to go with it. Lastly what Matsumoto held surprised me. She held a black lace bra and an orange g-string.

"I can't wear that it's too revealing," I said as I gripped my towel and pointed at the outfit.

"Mina-chan, if you haven't noticed, this isn't bad compared to Matsumoto's outfit." Rukia said.

Matsumoto nodded but then realized what the comment meant and said, "Hey!" Hinamori was just giggling.

"Just go get dressed," Matsumoto said while pushing me towards the bathroom.

No One's POV

Renji, Matsumoto, Kira, Hinamori, and Rukia waited for the last two people of the group. There was a knock at the door and there was Hisagi Shuuhei dressed for a night of fun.

"So what's tonight's plan?" He asked everyone.

"We are just gonna head to that one bar slash clubbish place and have fun. But we would be there by now if someone hurries up!" Renji screamed the last part.

"Hold your damn horses Pineapple Head. I'm almost done!" Mina screamed from the bathroom.

"Cherry if you hurry up Hisagi is gonna give you a cherry lollipop!" Renji screamed and teased at the same time. He handed Hisagi about four cherry lollipops. Renji also gave Hisagi a wink that made him blush.

"Alright I'm ready!"

"Mina-chan you look amazing!" Matsumoto complimented the blushing girl.

"T-thanks." Mina managed to stutter out.

"Well Hisagi, go give her a lollipop." Renji pushed him towards Mina. He stumbled a bit but managed to walk properly. Once he was in front of her, he handed her a lollipop and said in a low voice while smiling,

"You look beautiful." Mina accepted the lollipop and said thank you, while of course blushing.

"Let's get a move on shall we?" Kira asked to break the silence.

Once they arrived, the first thing that they did was find a place to sit. "Alright ladies and gentlemen what should we get to drink?" Matsumoto asked.

"Sake!" That was all that Renji had to say to send Matsumoto to get the drinks.

As quickly as she left, she came back with 5 bottles of sake and 6 cups. She poured sake in every cup and passed it towards someone. "Alright, at the count of three we drink. 1...2...3!" The fun had begun.

By 11, it was starting to get crazy. Matsumoto was really close to being drunk along with Renji and Kira; Rukia and Hinamori were dancing; and Mina and Hisagi were just chatting.

"No way! That really happened?" Hisagi questioned her as she giggled.

"Yup Renji was literally saying how he wanted to go and just confess to Rukia how he likes her and practiced with a broom. It was sooo funny. He even began to make out with the broom." Mina said laughing.

"Was he drunk or sober?" Hisagi laughed as he asked.

"Oh he was drunk up the ass. I'm just glad that he didn't throw up or anything." Hisagi laughed and placed his hand where his pocket was. "Man I could go for something cherry right now." Mina stated and on cue, Hisagi pulled out another cherry lollipop. Mina's eyes shined as he gave it to her.

"Thanks Shuuhei!" She said as she kissed him on the cheek.

Hisagi blushed after she kissed him. "Mina, do you want to dance?"

Mina blushed and nodded her head. Hisagi grinned and took his hand out for her to grab. Mina grabbed his hand and he led her to the dance floor. Once they were there, they began to dance. It was a first awkward for the two, but once they felt the music, the awkwardness left. Mina was moving her hips to the beat of the music when she felt a pair of hands being placed on them. She looked at Hisagi as he grinned and danced with her. She smiled towards him and kept on dancing.

Things started to get more intense as the music began to change. Hisagi had taken her lollipop and placed in his own mouth while grinning the entire time. He whispered into Mina's ear and said, "If you want this back or even another one, you're gonna have to earn it."

Mina had a shocked look on her face, but instantly, an evil grin had appeared. She began to grind against him as they danced. Now this caught Hisagi off guard. But he began to grind back, enjoying the closeness that he was getting. He wasn't the only one enjoying it since Mina kept getting as close as possible to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he kept a firm grip on her waist.

The music had suddenly changed into a softer tempo as the two still danced. Mina sighed as she placed he head on Hisagi's shoulder. He chuckled and held her close.

"Mina?" He whispered.

"Yeah Shuuhei?" Mina whispered back.

"Do you want to get out of here? Maybe go hangout somewhere or something?" Mina moved her head from his shoulder and nodded. "Alright, how about I meet you at the Sakura tree at the training field? I'll tell them that we are leaving. Oh and here's your prizes," He smiled while handing her two cherry lollipops.

"Ok. I'll see you in a bit then and thanks." She kissed his cheek and left the building.

Back to Mina's POV

'Man that was one of the most amazing nights I have ever had. I was able to dance with the man I have fallen for.' I sat up against the Sakura tree. The wind was blowing a cool breeze that made some of the petals dance in the air. 'This is so relaxing.' I took out one of the lollipops and began to lick it.

"Mina." I turned around and there he was. Shuuhei had come back much faster than I expected.

"What did they say?" He walked towards me and took a seat besides me.

"They said alright and that we'll see them tomorrow."

"Ah ok."

The wind began to pick up a bit and it made me shiver. Apparently, Shuuhei noticed so he placed his arm around me. I blushed, but got much closer to him to enjoy the moment.

"Mina."

"Hmm?"

He sighed, "Do you think that there is someone out there for us to love, to hold, and to cherish forever?"

I looked at him and told him, "Yes, there has to be someone out there. Even if it will take forever to find them, they are there."

Shuuhei faced me and said, "What if the girl that I believe is meant for me is right in front with me, wearing the sexiest clothes and looking extremely beautiful? What should I do?"

I blushed and said, "Tell her. Because she knows that the person in front of her is meant to be with her no matter what." Once my last words left my mouth, Shuuhei removed the lollipop that was in my mouth, and kissed me.

The kiss told me all of his emotions. Happy about the fact that we are meant for each other; passionate for the amount of desire that he had; lust for how much he has been wanting me; and love, for he has felt it for a long time. I gave him the same response. I didn't want to stop kissing him, but I knew that I would need air at some point. We broke the kiss at the same time and breathed heavily.

He smirked at me and said, "You know, I think I love cherries now since your kisses taste just like 'em."

"Good," I said as I pulled him in for another kiss.

We broke the kiss again and he said, "My place or yours?"

I grinned and said, "I think you know where to go." Shuuhei grinned, lifted me up bridal style and flash stepped towards my house.

The Next Morning

I woke up having an arm wrapped around my waist. I smiled and kissed the lips of the owner. Shuuhei smiled as I kissed him.

"Morning love." I smiled at him.

"Morning beautiful." He kissed my lips and got up. He was wearing his black boxers, as I wore a white muscle tee and black boy shorts. No we didn't have sex. We just had a big make-out session. We got dressed in our uniforms and ate a quick breakfast. It was 8:55 and we had to go to our divisions.

"Bye," Shuuhei said as he kissed my lips. "I'll see you at lunch ok."

"Alright, I love you," I told him. He smiled and kissed me once more, but much longer.

"I love you too and I'll see you soon."

"Bye." We flashed stepped to work and waited to see one another again, but this time it wasn't for a long time. This time, it would only be a couple of hours.

'God, I love that man.'
