~Ch 4~
Renji: Oo sex games, fun stuff!
Akuni: *grins* Glad ya liked it.
Ichigo: Oh yeah, that was fun as- Hey, just hold on a minute here! Ya got me sparring regularly with Kenpachi?! Are you freakin' insane?
Renji: *laughs* C'mon Ichigo, you can kick his ass any day a' the week!
Ichigo: Maybe, but it takes a lotta effort, yanno!
Akuni: Ichigo, it'll help make you stronger. And if you don't deal with him, he's just going to keep chasing you around.
Ichigo: … Damn, that's true. *sighs* I guess it won't be so bad.
Renji: An' ya get t' look cool doin' it, too. Maybe I'll come with ya an' watch.
Ichigo: You wanna watch me fight?
Renji: *flushes a bit* Yeah, so what?
Ichigo: I practice with you all the time.
Renji: That's different.
Ichigo: How?
Renji: *mumbles*
Ichigo: What was that?
Renji: I ain't sayin' it again! *blushes more*
Akuni: Ohh!
Renji: *is very red*
Akuni: Ichigo, I think… it's the coat.
Ichigo: Huh?
Akuni: You ever taken a look at yourself while you're in bankai?
Ichigo: Uh no? Not many mirrors on the battlefield, or in the training yard for that matter.
Akuni: I knew it… Renji, he's got no clue.

Akuni: This is Ichigo we're talking about here.

Ichigo: *scowls* What're you two talkin' about?
Akuni: *looks at Renji*
Renji: *sighs* Ok. Ichigo, ya look damn good in that outfit, an' when ya fight… the way ya move, you're impossibly sexy.
Ichigo: *is floored* …really? *blushes furiously*
Renji: Hell yes. *stares hard at Ichigo and licks his lips*
Ichigo: Wow… I thought I... I mean… *clears throat* Then I guess I could tell ya that, uh… I always… I like watching you fight, too.
Renji: *blinks* The giant skeletal snake is a turn on?
Ichigo: No, not that! Your bankai is incredible but it's not… no, I meant, erm, when ya release your shikai. Always thought that was pretty cool… you do this jump thing when ya call Zabimaru, and when you attack your eyes kinda light up, and… *eyes Renji up and down* Yeah, you move good, too.
Renji: I had no idea… what else don't we know 'bout each other, I wonder? *raises eyebrows*
Ichigo: Heh, who knows… wanna find out? *grins suggestively*
Renji: *grins back*
Akuni: Ok I'm gonna go now…
