The Seireitei Sports [03: Volleyball]

|Chapter 3: Volleyball|

Kaira hummed happily to herself as she applied sun block to her arms, stomach, legs, face, chest and neck. Kitade had already applied sun block to Kaira’s back. It was the day that the Shinigami would play beach volleyball. Kaira and Kitade were happy; what was better than seeing Renji and Hitsugaya in swim trunks? The answer was nothing.

And, that was precisely what they were doing now. They were watching the hotter male Shinigami apply sun block to their gigai, since they would be playing volleyball in the human world. They had chosen a nice, warm beach on one of the islands in Japan. Once again, Kitade would be keeping score and Kaira would be announcing the scores, hits and injuries. Hanataro would be referee and emergency medic once again.

“What are the teams, Kitade and Kaira?” Ichigo asked, looking at the twins. The twins were sitting in a tree, keeping themselves in the shade until the game began. Kaira shrugged and looked at Kitade. Kitade pointed at Kaira, signaling that it was Kaira’s choice on the teams.

“Okay, team one is Yama-jii, Soi Fon, Omaeda, Kira, Unohana, Aizen, Byakuya, Nanao, Hisagi, Hitsugaya-taicho, Yachiru, Nemu, Kiyone, Ichigo, Ikkaku, Uryu, Urahara, Jinta, Chad and Senna.” Kaira said.

“Team two is Choujirou, Gin, Isane, Momo, Renji, Komamura, Iba, Kyoraku, Kaname, Matsumoto, Zaraki, Kurotsuchi, Ukitake, Rukia, Sentaro, Orihime, Ururu, Tessai, Yoruichi and Yumichika.” Kitade stated, naming off the rest of the Shinigami. Matsumoto raised her hand.

“Aren’t there supposed to be only seven people on a team?” she asked.

“So, divide each team into two smaller teams. Then it’ll be like a tournament! We’ll have team a from team one face team c from team two, while teams b and d face off. Then, when there’s a winner, say the winners are a and b, then team 1 wins. If the winners are say, a and c, then those two will face off, and the team who wins that has their team win beach volleyball! Get it?” Kaira asked with a smile. The Shinigami looked at her blankly.

“Um… So, we split up Team 1 into Section A and Section B, while Team 2 becomes Section C and Section D? Then Sections A and C with play and Sections B and D? Then the winners of the two matches will play a match if the winners are opposite?” Hisagi asked.

“Yeah! He got it!” Kitade shouted, pointing at Hisagi.

“Okay, now that you get it, figure out who is in each section!” Kaira exclaimed. There is a brief pause for discussion.

“Okay, Section A, your team is…?” Kitade waited for the team to tell who they were.

“Section A will be known as Pygmy Pies!” Yachiru cheered. “And the Pygmy Pies are me, Whitey-chan, Ichi, Bya-kun, Baldy, Quincy-kun… um… Nanao, Soi Fon, Kira and Omaeda!” she shouted.

“I never agreed to that!” Hitsugaya cried.

“Too bad, Whitey-chan!” Yachiru stated with a smile.

“That leaves Section B as Yama-jii, Unohana, Aizen, Hisagi, Nemu, Kiyone, Urahara, Jinta, Chad and Senna.” Kaira said. Kitade nodded and wrote down each section.

“We’re going to be called… Super Shinigami.” Urahara announced with a smile.

“Section C?” Kaira asked, looking at Team 2.

“Um… Me, Gin, Isane, Choujirou, Yoruichi, Tessai, Matsumoto-san, Kaname, Komamura and Kyoraku will be Chocolate Pickles.” Orihime announced. All the Shinigami (and others) looked at Orihime strangely.

“This leaves Section D with Momo, Renji, Iba, Zaraki, Kurotsuchi, Ukitake, Rukia, Sentaro, Ururu and Yumichika as the members.” Kaira said.

“We are the Red Rockets!” Momo cried. Hitsugaya scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“That’s a dumb name.” he stated.

“Oh, and like Pygmy Pies is any better, Shiro-chan?!” Momo retorted.

“I didn’t come up with the name, Bed-Wetter Momo!” Hitsugaya replied.

“Okay, enough! Pygmy Pies against Chocolate Pickles! After that, Super Shinigami against Red Rockets!” Kaira shouted. Hitsugaya glared at Momo before following his team to the assigned court, across from the Pygmy Pies was Chocolate Pickles. Orihime and Matsumoto were bouncing up and down happily, causing their oversized boobs to bounce up and down.

I’ll bet five bucks that Kon followed us here… Ichigo thought, standing next to Hitsugaya and behind Byakuya. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Rukia’s backpack exploded and Kon popped out, looking at Orihime and Matsumoto lustfully. He didn’t even pay attention to Rukia, who was in a one-piece bathing suit.

As Kon pounced towards Matsumoto and Orihime, Kitade grabbed the stuffed lion out of the air and looked at it.

“What do you have there, Kitade?” Kaira asked. Kitade held up the stuffed lion and Kaira took it out of her twin’s hands.

“What is this…?” she wondered, inspecting Kon closely.

“Boob…ies…” Kon murmured, still trying to get to Orihime and Matsumoto.

“Oh, this must be the Mod Soul that Ichigo had… What did he call it…? Kon…?” Kaira asked. Kitade nodded.

“Hey, Ichigo! Your little Mod Soul followed us here!” she shouted, throwing the stuffed animal at Ichigo. Ichigo looked up to get a face full of Kon.

“AGH! KON! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” he shouted, grabbing Kon by the back of his neck and glaring at him. Kon huffed and glared at Ichigo in return.

“Well, I was coming to see nee-san play this volleyball game, but then, I saw the most wonderful things!” he exclaimed, glancing at Orihime and Matsumoto. “I saw the luscious boobs belonging to Orihime-san and Matsumoto-san! And they’re in bikinis!” he exclaimed happily. Hitsugaya frowned at Kon; that was his vice-captain that Kon was lusting for!

“I know how you feel, little Mod Soul… I really do…” Kyoraku murmured, looking at his two busty teammates blissfully. Nanao frowned, seeing her captain’s gaze, and tossed the ball into the air before hitting it with all her might over the net, hitting Kyoraku directly in the face. “Nanao-chaaaaaaaaan! That huuuuuuuuurt!” Kyoraku replied. Nanao crossed her arms over her own chest with a frown.

“Taicho, you must pay attention, and not to Matsumoto-fukutaicho’s and Inoue-san’s large breasts.” She said. Matsumoto glanced down at her chest, then to Orihime’s chest before looking at her chest again. She smiled.

“Yep! Mine are definitely bigger!” she exclaimed. Orihime tilted her head to the side.

“Really…?” she asked. Matsumoto nodded with a smile.

“Yeah! You can even compare them by feeling them!” she exclaimed. Hitsugaya twitched uncomfortably.

“Okay, enough boob-groping! Orihime, Matsumoto! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! I SAID ENOUGH WITH THE GROPING!” Kaira shrieked, throwing an apple she found on the ground at the two females that happened to be groping each other’s cleavage. Ichigo nodded and threw Kon into the ocean, smirking happily as Kon attempted to swim to shore in his plush body.

Kyoraku had a nosebleed.

“Volley for serve! The ball has to go over the net at least three times! Whichever team misses the ball, the opposite team serves first! Oh, and first team to 21 wins!” Kaira announced. Hanataro sighed and sat down on the sand, waiting for the chance to be the referee.

“Ichi… Ni… San… Yon… Go… Roku… Nana… Hachi… Kyū… Jū… And miss! The Pygmy Pies serve first!” Kitade announced, getting ready to write down the score.

“Nanao serves… it goes over the net… Kyoraku hits it back… Ichigo saves the ball by running in front of Byakuya and hitting the ball… Byakuya continues to stand there… Orihime hits the ball over the net… Taicho spikes the ball over the net, and the score is Pygmy Pies 1, Chocolate Pickles 0! Hey, I didn’t know Taicho could jump high enough to-” Kaira was cut off by an angry glare from Hitsugaya, along with a spike of icy Reiatsu.

“Mashiro Kaira, don’t you dare finish that sentence! I’ll double your paperwork and Kitade’s paperwork if you do!” he hissed. Kaira paled slightly.

“H-hai, Taicho… Um… Nanao’s serve again… Matsumoto returns the ball… Yachiru hits the ball over the net… Yoruichi returns… Uryu hits the ball while adjusting his glasses… Isane dives for the ball and hits it over… Omaeda goes to hit it and misses. The score is tied, 1-1.” Kaira said.

“Damn it, Omaeda!” Soi Fon cried, glaring at her vice-captain.

“Tessai’s serve… Soi Fon returns while glaring at Omaeda… Komamaura pokes the ball over the net… Kira returns the ball… Gin hits the ball over while smiling creepily… Kyoraku hits the ball over… Ikkaku returns and Matsumoto attempts to return the ball, but her boobs got in her way. The score is 2-1.” Kaira stated.

.:Later in the Game:.

“And the score is 20-16 with the Pygmy Pies in the lead. It’s game point. Ichigo is serving. He throws the ball up and… hits it into Byakuya’s head… Hanataro calls a re-do on the serve and… Byakuya has separated from his Gigai… and so has Ichigo… and now-”

“Chire, Senbonzakura!”

“Zangetsu!”

“Great, now they’re fighting with Zanpakuto… Hanataro, get the medical kit ready!”

“H-hai!” Hanataro cried. Hitsugaya sighed and walked off of the court to sit under a tree, waiting for the little battle to be over.

“Taicho, you’re not gonna stop them?” Kitade asked from her perch in the tree Hitsugaya was resting against. Hitsugaya looked up at his 4th seat and shook his head.

“No, why should I? It’s Kurosaki’s fault for hitting the ball into Kuchiki’s head.” He stated. Kitade shrugged.

“I thought you just might want to finish the game, that’s all.” She said. Hitsugaya sighed.

“Yeah, you’re right.” He stood up and separated from his Gigai, placing a hand on Hyorinmaru’s hilt.

“Soten ni zase, Hyorinmaru!” he exclaimed before stopping Senbonzakura and Zangetsu with ice. “Finish the game first, then fight. We’re one point away from winning.” He stated, releasing the two swords from his ice. He returned Hyorinmaru to its original state and sheathed it before going back into his Gigai. Byakuya and Ichigo frowned, but returned to their Gigai as well.

“Finally… Ichigo hits the ball over the net… Yoruichi returns the ball… Taicho returns the ball… Gin hits it over the net… Yachiru hits the ball and trips... Uryu saves Yachiru’s hit and returns the ball… Matsumoto returns the ball… Soi Fon jumps up and spikes the ball. Pygmy Pies win 21-16.”

“Yay, yay! We won, we won!” Yachiru cheered, jumping up and down.

“Now, Super Shinigami against red Rockets…” Kaira said with a sigh. She reluctantly got off of Renji’s lap (she had complained that the tree branch was too hard and decided to use Renji as a chair) and decided to use Ichigo as a chair instead.

“Volley for serve…”

.:Final Game:.

“Pygmy Pies against Red Rockets… Whichever team wins this, wins for their whole team!” Kaira exclaimed. So far, Hanataro had treated sword wounds (Ichigo and Byakuya), head injuries (Byakuya), and tiny boo-boos (Yachiru). Kitade sighed.

“Somebody win already… I wanna go home…” she complained.

“You’re cheering for Taicho, aren’t you?” Kaira asked. Kitade blushed lightly but shook her head to deny her twin’s statement. Kaira grinned. “Kitade likes Taicho! Kitade likes Taicho!” she sang quietly.

“Shut up! At least the guy I like doesn’t have long hair!” Kitade hissed. Kaira’s mouth dropped open.

“Who said I liked Renji?!” Kaira hissed. Kitade grinned.

“I never said you liked Renji. I said ‘at least the guy I like doesn’t have long hair’. Zaraki has long hair, Byakuya has long hair, Tessai has long hair, Yamamoto has a long beard, Kyoraku has long hair and Ukitake has long hair.” She replied.

“…Damn you…” Kaira murmured, turning away from her sister. “Uh, volley for serve… First team to 21 points wins…”

“It isn’t a bad thing, you know.” Kitade pointed out. Kaira frowned.

“Shut up…” she said softly. “Red Rockets start with the ball. Ren-” Kitade laughed softly. Kaira glared at her. “Renji serves the ball… Byakuya returns the ball- Wait, Byakuya did something?!” Kitade laughed. “Uh, right… Momo returns the ball, and Taicho spikes the ball in front of Momo who just screamed like she did yesterday… That’s 1-0.”

“Wow, Momo is such a wuss…” Kitade stated.

“Taicho serves the ball over the net… Momo dodges, but Rukia saves the ball and returns it. Soi Fon returns, and Yumichika hits it back. Ikkaku hits the ball, and now it’s a volley between Yumichika and Ikkaku… Zaraki steals the ball from Yumichika and hits it across the net. Yachiru scrambles up Omaeda’s back and spikes the ball over the net. The score is 2-0.”

“Go Yachiru!” Kitade cried.

“Taicho serves again. It goes over the net and… into Ukitake’s outstretched hands… What the hell? Ukitake caught the ball…”

“I caught it!” Ukitake cried happily. Renji smacked his forehead. “Do I win something?”

“No, Ukitake-taicho, you’re supposed to hit the ball, not catch it!” he exclaimed.

“Oh…”

“The score is now 3-0…” Ukitake tossed the ball to Hitsugaya. “Taicho serves again… it goes over the net… Ururu returns the ball… Kira hits the ball back to Ururu… A return from Ururu… Uryu hits the ball… Zaraki jumps up into the air and spikes the ball… Yachiru hits the ball back and it hits the back of Zaraki’s head… The score is 4-0…”

“Oops! Sorry, Ken-chan!” Yachiru exclaimed with a giggle. Zaraki huffed and crossed his arms. It was so easy for him to forgive Yachiru.

.:Forty Minutes Later:.

“And the score is 19-17… Well, the Red Rockets have really caught up…” Kaira stated. Kitade nodded. “It’s Uryu’s serve. He adjusts his glasses and hits the ball over the net… Kurotsuchi return the ball. Yachiru and Taicho both dive for the ball, but it looks like they’ve collided and hit their heads…”

“I hope Taicho is okay…” Kitade whispered.

“If it’s not, you can kiss it better.” Kaira replied. Kitade blushed again but glared at Kaira. “The score is 19-18. The ball is handed to Sentaro, who looks eager to serve the ball.”

“Ukitake-taicho! I’ll make you proud! Just you watch!” he screamed, serving the ball over the net. Hitsugaya and Yachiru glanced at the ball, then at each other before moving out of the way, letting Nanao return the ball.

“Yay, Nanao-chan!” Kyoraku cried from the sidelines. Kaira sighed.

“Rukia returns the ball, and Soi Fon misses the ball! The game is tied; 19-19!” Sentaro grinned and got ready to serve again. “Sentaro serves the ball… and the ball bounces off of Kira’s head to be returned by Taicho. Momo goes to hit the ball, but chickens out at the last moment, leaving Yumichika to return the ball. Omaeda misses the ball. The score is 19-20! It all comes down to this…”

“Come on, Sentaro! You had better not screw up!” Kiyone screeched from next to her sister. Isane sighed and shook her head at Kiyone’s outburst. “If you mess this up, the you’ll know you’re not Taicho’s favorite!”

“Shut up, you!” Sentaro cried, serving the ball. Hitsugaya whimpered as the ball came towards him, but hit it anyways, the ball barely making it over the net.

“Did Taicho just whimper…?” Kitade asked. Kaira nodded.

“Um… Iba returns the ball… Nanao returns… Renji spikes the ball over the net… Yachiru dives out of the way to avoid another boo-boo… And that’s game! Red Rockets win!” she exclaimed. Kitade pouted.

“Oh, poo! I wanted Taicho to win!” she said to herself.

“Of course you wanted him to win. I, on the other hand, happen to be satisfied with the outcome of the match.” Kaira stated. Kitade rolled her eyes.

“Only because your boyfriend was on the winning team…” she murmured. Kaira turned bright pink.

“He’s not my boyfriend!” she exclaimed. Kitade rolled her eyes.

“Whatever…” she said.

“Who’s not whose boyfriend?” Renji asked, walking over to the twins.

“You’re not Kaira’s boyfriend!” Kitade cried.

“Taicho isn’t Kitade’s boyfriend!” Kaira cried at the same time as Kitade. Renji scratched his head and shrugged before walking away from the furiously blushing twins. Over in the distance, Byakuya and Ichigo were at it again.

“Zangetsu!”

“Chire, Senbonzakura!”
