Party Surprises

A/N: They might be a teensy out of character sorry if they are I haven't written these guys in a while!

Crashing could be heard throughout the Kurosaki household as two hot tempered shinigami wrestled through the door and into the kitchen. Once again Ichigo and Renji were at each others throats over something a hollow did and who killed it. Ichigo paused a moment to make sure there was no sneak attack coming from his old man. The firebrand saw his chance to tackle Ichigo from behind throwing the younger forward to the living room floor.

" Dammit Renji what'd ya do that for?"

" Just takin' advantage of an opportunity Ichi"

Ichigo growled and knocked Renji off of him, stomping up the stairs to his room and slamming the door. Renji chuckled and took off up the stairs as well, intent on getting his due payment for winning that fight. He tried to open the door first, noticing with intrest that Ichigo had locked it, looked like the strawberry was trying to get out of the bet.

" Lemme in Ichi"

" No!!!"

" Aw c'mon going out with the gang isn't gonna be so bad"

" I don't want to go to the damn club Renji!"

" I'll be upset if ya don't go"

"That does not work on me"

" S' cause ya won't let me in ta convince ya"

" I do not need convincing I need left alone!"

"Hmph sour berry, guess I'll go naked then since ya won't let me borrow any clothes"

The door swung open abruptly and Ichigo drug him into the room forcibly, he was in no way letting someone he knew go naked, That would only make it worse for him, the last thing he needed was Ishida's incessant nagging about integrity. Renji grinned as he was pulled into the room, he knew how to get to Ichigo if only for a moment.

" Ok so how bout ya let me borrow those" Renji pointed to Ichigo's black jeans.

" I don't think you could fit in them Renji"

"Are ya sayin I'm fat?!"

"What are you now a woman?"

" No.. just.. shut up an lemme try 'em on"

"Here ya go missy"

" Ichigo!"

" Go try 'em on, I'll find a shirt for you"

Renji disappeared into the bathroom and moments later reappeared with the skin tight jeans fitted perfectly. Ichigo gaped at him for a moment, then tossed a white tank at him with a black dragon design on it at him. He'd managed to get changed in the process, changing into black cargo jeans with chains criss crossing the back. A simple white tank covered by a black jacket with red straps at the top, imitating Zangetsu's strap.

" Nice jacket Ichi"

Ichigo grinned " Had it made specially a few weeks ago"

" So we ready to go then?"

" Sure, let's get going before the rest of them think I weasled out of it"

-Ichigo and Renji ran into the rest of the group halfway to the club, everyone laughing and joking until they got to the entrance of it. Once they were in Ichigo branched off into the crowd hoping to get away from his assigned dance partner for the night. He hoped to never lose on a bet like that again, although he was sure Rukia would enjoy his agony.

Renji caught up to him halfway through the night, completely intent on dragging him out on the dance floor no matter how vehemently Ichigo protested. Renji finally succeeded in dragging the reluctant strawberry onto the dance floor. Once he was out there, Renji managed to get him to dancing and ignoring the victorious smirk on Rukia and Ishida's faces.

The rest of the night went smoothly and as the group split up heading their seperate ways, Renji hanging amicably on Ichigo's shoulder. Ichigo grinned at Renji's behavior he'd been warned by Rukia that if Renji got ahold of alcohol he would be completely different. He'd expected a louder Renji not a quieter one. As they entered his house and he settled Renji on the couch he noticed the silence, none of his family was back yet.

By the time he had changed and gone back downstairs to get Renji the other shinigami was already fast asleep on the couch. Apparently going out at night and hunting him all over a club wore the firebrand out. Ichigo was positive he liked him more this way and decided that losing a bet like this wasn't so bad at all. Never one to pass up an opportunity he snuck back to his room and snatched his camera, he was sure Byakuya would be able to use this later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Byakuya Kuchiki smirked as he set the now framed photo on his desk, his Lieutenant was due back from the human world in a few minutes and he had a meeting with his Captain. No sooner had he finished placing the picture on his desk the hot tempered Lieutenant came through the door rather quietly.

" I have a matter to discuss with you Lieutenant Abarai"

" About what Captain?"

" Matters of letting your guard down when on duty in the human world" Byakuya turned the picture around, the very clear photo of Renji asleep on Ichigo's couch covered by a fluffy blanket with bunnies on it, undoubtedly Rukia's.

Renji turned bright red and bolted out of the sixth division headquarters, not even thinking about what the consequences would be. He had a bone to pick with a certain strawberry in the human world. Byakuya just smirked and turned the picture back to its original position. Renji had no idea that Ichigo was currently in Soul Society in fact he was hiding in Rukia's room at the mansion. Byakuya wasn't going to tell him either not after Ichigo gave him the perfect blackmail for his unruly Lieutenant.
