The day was great, the sun was out, the birds were sing, and Rangiku was watching something unexpected with a drop jaw. The war was over for now, Aizen had some how found out that Urahara did some thing to him and not knowing what it was he ran a way doing what was to be his last fight with Ichigo, but with the Espada almost all dead along with Gin and Tousen he was now alone so everyone could take this time to rest before hunting him again. Doing this time Rangiku who had been on a walk around the Seireitei was standing around the corner, listening to two people banter back and forth at a restaurant, but that not what was unexpected, what was unexpected was who the people was at the restaurant.

She was still trying to get her mind around it how did Ichigo AND Isane of all people in up at a restaurant together, it just didn't make sense she never even saw them talk to each other but Watching Ichigo and Isane from her vantage point the gears in Rangiku's head began to turn. It had been Six month sense Aizen had use the Forbidden kidos Jikan Teishi and Kuukan Ten-1 to get a way from Ichigo in there last fight and though he had gone home a few times he stay in the Seireitei most of the time and up to seven weeks a go she had not been seeing much of him sense. Rangiku wanting to know what was going on then take a deep breath before walking over there.

Ichigo had been having a great time for once while he was at the Seireitei, most of the time when he came to the soul society he was alway running from Zaraki (Even more so when he found out how much stronger Ichigo got.) or getting into a fight with Renji or some one in the Eleventh Division and while he did in joy a good fight every now and then even he wanted some peace and quiet while staying in the Seireitei some time.

It was when Ichigo had just went into the fourth Division while draging another nameless member of the eleven division who had thought it was a good idea to fight him so they can win some points with Zaraki (like that would ever happen!) when he had ran into the lieutenant, she had some squad members take him to the care unit but then ask him why he kept getting into fights as that was the sixth time already he sent one of them there to day and he had gave them seven the day before. He had said that while he didn't know how but they alway found him, Ichigo was shock when Isane who immediately understood what the problem was told he that it was his reiatsu, to those who could sense even the slightest amount of spiritual pressure Ichigo was like a shining beacon.

Even if Kenpachi wasn't aware of it, he was drawn to Ichigo's raw and powerful aura. Isane had use a kido spell to help mask his reiatsu, Ichigo was thankful for that and had stay to see if she needed any help with anything and while he was there the two had some small talk that lead him to staying all day and Ichigo had done the same when he came the next day and so on. It was two weeks sense they had met when Ichigo had surprised even himself by asking her out on a date and was even more surprised when she had said yes.

So here they are at a restaurant having lunch, Isane was telling him about some of her strange nightmares that plagued her and if Ichigo was honest with himself; they were so completely ridiculous (I mean giant cabbages trying to eat her only for to be save by a catfish with bird wing throwing a baseball bat at them? What the hell!) so much that Ichigo couldn't help but to laugh at it much to Isane embarrassment but she knew he wasn't making fun of her as the nightmares were ridiculous even to herself. Just as Isane was about to ask him more about what the living world was like she saw Rangiku walking up to him.

"Uh Ichigo..?" Isane said while pointing her chopsticks in back of him. Ichigo seeing her point turn around and was some what surprised to see Rangiku as he thought she was with Nemu.

"Hey Ichigo and Isane." Rangiku said nervously as now that she was close to them she could see that they were clearly on a date but not wanting to ask him out right she decided to try a indirectly road.

"Hey Matsumoto, I thought you and Nemu were gonna be training all day to day?" Ichigo said while Isane just wave hello.

"We were but Ukitake-taicho wanted to see her at the last minute, so I thought I see what you were doing sense I haven't seen much you of month." Rangiku Reply wanting to see what he said.

"Oh well I've been with Isane mostly, anyway we got to get going." Ichigo said as they both got up.

"Hey where are you guys going?" Rangiku ask trying to get some more info out of them.

"I'm taking Ichigo to see the sakura trees in Rukongai!" Isane said with a smile just thinking about it. "So if you could I'be happy if you told the SWA that I won't.. be... there..?" Isane said as she blushed and her face went blood red when it hit her that Rangiku was the one that found them. Isane had wanted to keep them dating to them selves for as long as possible but realize when Rangiku tell the rest the SWA then as soon as the meeting end everyone in the Seireitei would know in a hour.

"Well Matsumoto we'll have to talk later, see ya." Ichigo said as he Started walking away but stop when he saw Isane still there.

"Isane?"he ask.

"Why don't you go on ahead, I'll catch up in abit." she reply, Ichigo look puzzled as he watched how red in the face Isane was but shrug it off and went on ahead leaving the two alone, and There was a huge grin on Rangiku's face.

"About that-" Isane started but was cut off by a glant hug she got from Rangiku who was talking a mile a minute.

"Isane you dog!" Rangiku laughed. "You come off as this shy girl who to soft to even look for a man but then score one of the hot's guy's in the whole damn Seireitei!" she yell in excitement!

"Thanks, I think." replied Isane.

"And man, he is built!" Rangiku want on. "I mean you can just tell he packing something BIG down below!

"Really, not going there, Rangiku-san," Isane interrupted. "I just wanted to- " however she was cut off again this time by Soifon who came to get the lady's for the meet SWA.

"What are you two doing here! Our meeting start in less then five minute!" Soifon commanded with a glare however she frown when Rangiku shot her a big smile and bounce over to her, locking Soifon in a bear hug. "oh calm down we'll get going, but our dear Isane has other plan for the day so she not coming! Rangiku said all of this even while keep Soifon in place.

"What other plans, what are you talking about, and let me go!" Soifon yell while trying to get free but found the bigger woman to be a lot stronger then she look (Che, I guess that jumbo chest of hers not the only reason she a lieutenant) she thought with a scowl still trying to get free.

"Well time for us to go, have fun on your date! And remember to use Protection! " the lieutenant yell stopping Soifon struggle who head shap up to Rangiku.

"WHAT DATE! WHY WOULD SHE NEED PROTECTION! OY I'M TALKING TO YOU MATSUMO-" her word end there as said woman use Shunpo to head to the SWA meeting. Isane just look on as the women left, not sure what to think of any of the happening just let a wryly smile come to her face.

"So much for keeping it a secret." signing she Shunpo off to catch up with Ichigo.
