Hey! It's me again! I'm a bit disappointed at how few reviews I had last time, but anyway this is the last chapter! Thanks go to everyone who has reviewed! This chapter is kinda short, but hey, it's the epilogue, it's not a regular chapter... Oh, and talking about regular, I have been bumping my head on random objects recently. For example, I hit my head on a door, twice, yesterday... Going off topic...

This chapter is dedicated to kaibasgirlx, for her extremely encouraging and long reviews! Thank you girl! Bless your soul!

Copper! I am waiting for your overdue reviews for this chapter, the ichihime chapter, and the chapter before! I may go on a strike you know! I WANT MY REVIEWS!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

Matsumoto cried, "Ohhhhh! That's so sweet! I knew that taicho had it in him! Attaboy! I'm so glad I installed the video transmitting device into the camera!"

Gin chukled, and said, "You've always been a smart girl, alright," before leaning in and capturing the lips of Matsumoto with his own.

FLASH!

The kissing couple snapped their heads to the source of the flash, and they were horrified to find Yoruichi Shihouin holding a photograph of them kissing. Although Matsumoto and Gin had not been totally discreet with their relationship, they still kept their relationship a secret from most people, mostly from the civilians of Rukongai. Yes, they liked publicity, but nobody likes excessive fanmail, right?

"What… How?" asked Matsumoto, petrified.

"Mwahahaha! Up till now, we were unable to conduct any form of revenge because the video cartridge is locked, but now we can! Why, you ask? Explain, Kisuke!" yelled Yoruichi triumphantly.

"I tampered with the transmitter, and made it re-play them doing paperwork several times. Thus, we gained sufficient time to come here and waited for you two to kiss!" Even though he was hiding his face behind his paper fan, Kisuke's grin was apparent.

Yoruichi went on, "You have two choices, either you return the photo of us kissing, and nothing will happen, or refuse, and I guarantee that this photo will be all over Rukongai before nightfall tomorrow! You have until tomorrow noon to decide! And know in mind that we also have… THIS! in our hands..." Yoruichi held out another object, and Gin and Matsumoto's eyes widened in horror. With that, the sneaky shopkeepers flash stepped out of sight.

"Shucks, Rangiku, what are we going to do?" asked Gin.

Rangiku appeared to be deep in thought for a moment, and then sparks of mischief and wickedness started dancing in her eyes. "What did you think of?"Gin inquired.

In midnight, all creation was deep in slumber, everything was quiet, and nothing could be heard… Except for the evil chuckle of a strawberry blonde shinigami .

===The Next Day===

Hitsugaya walked into his office with an unusual glow of happiness and cheerfulness. He skipped all the way from the front gates to his desk, and sat down with a plop as he began sorting out his mail. Ordering form for chocolates, trash… Shinigami Women's Association application form, trash… Advertisement… Advertisement… Photo of Matsumoto and Gin kissing… Photo of me and Momo kissing…

Wait a minute… Hitsugaya's aura of happiness dissipated as his brain re-loaded the last few photos… The image of Momo kissing him goodnight on the cheek, but then he turned his head to go for her lips entered his mind. In fact, it would not go away anytime soon, because he now had a photo to jog his memory. He flipped through the rest of the mail, and was not even remotely shocked by the photos of other couples kissing and cuddling. Oh my god... Were Kenpachi and Unohana-taicho... Veins popped up on his head, but his anger and shock hadn't reached their peak, as he flipped to the last item, revealing…

"MATSUMOTO!!!" barked Hitsugaya, an advertisement with the words "Results of Confessions 101 Matsumoto Style, an education program for foolish people who want to confess to their lovers" clutched in his hand.

"Whaaaaat taicho?" slurred Matsumoto, with Gin in tow.

"How can you explain this?" Asked Hitsugaya, through clenched teeth, a fake, wide smile pasted on his face. He held the accursed advertisement in the air, as if it was a bank note or something.

"Well you see, Yoruichi-san blackmailed me with a photo of you and Hinamori kissing, and I thought I would not give up my free slaves for nothing, so I figured I would just take photos of everybody kissing, and then give the photos to everyone! Not to mention that they also had a photo of me and Gin kissing in their possession! It is nice promotion for my confession class too! But I really had a hard time deciding!" answered Matsumoto dramatically.

"yeah! yeah!" chirped in Gin. "Rangiku had thought for 10 seconds! It's a new record!"

Hitsugaya took a deep, deep breath, and opened his mouth to shout, "MATSUMOTO!!!!!"

Yesiree, today is such a nice, beautiful, normal day in the 10th Division.

Okay, that wraps it up for "Confessions 101 Matsumoto Style"! Sorry for the abrupt ending, and thank you for sticking with me through this story, and please leave a review! I have an idea for a new fic, but I'm not gonna write it in the near future... This story has taken quite a toll on me, and I would like to take a break. I am so much more of a reader than a writer...

The following gets normal, edible cookies from me for leaving great reviews!

stormwolf527: Thank you for being my first reviewer ever! Oh, and Urahara and Yoruichi were blackmailed PRIOR to the Winter War, so... They kinda stood at the side, just filming. *Awkward bow*

Lunar Iris:Thanks for your grammar/spelling checks! I am always in a rush to do things, so... I didn't proofread any of this. *Salutes*

Blitch: You know, I have always been the one mentioned here, and I have always wanted to try this the other way round. Thank you for your reviews! I am really honoured because I love your fics! The Ichihime chapter was the easiest for me to write, since I have got everything planned right from the start! *squeals* Update!!!

angelicdemonPRINCE: Well you haven't reviewed the last chapter... But you have reviewed all the past chapters, so... thank you! *smiles*

and, of course...

kaibasgirlx: You've already got a chapter dedication... But in order to show my appreciation, you are here also! Thank you for your reviews! And you got your KenpachiXUnohana bit! I forgot about your request, but I caught sight of it while I was writing this author's not up, so... I added it in the last minute. *hugs*

And as a side note... The Confessions of the Author of this fic

Actually, this story was orignally intended to be much shorter. There was only supposed to be one clip in each chapter, and with only the RenRuki and Ichihime pairings. Thank you for providing me with ideas! I thought of the Byasana clip when i caught sight of somebody's account name, but I forgot who... Without your reviews, this fic wouldn't have been half the fic it is now!

If you like my writing, add me into your author alert! I may post random one-shots every once in a while...

Here, at the end of this ridiculously long author's note, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has stuck with me throughout this story, through thick or thin, for better or for worse... God this sounds like a marrige vow... Let's try something different...

THANK YOU! *HUGS*

*Smiles* Well then, I hope you have enjoyed this fic as much as I enjoyed writing it, and bye bye for now! LEAVE A REVIEW!!!
