Bleach Karaoke Madness Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Do It All Again

"Go on Captain Aizen, go in the back room and pick out your costume." Gin urged, his face glowing with delight. Aizen stood up and pushed back his hair from his face, "I will return soon," and saying no more, he walked into the back costume room. "This is sure turning into an eventful night," Love noted, finishing yet another beer and starting to come well to the point that getting drunk was not out of the realm of possibilities. Rose watched on, with a relaxed look on his face. He had decided to pull his hair back tonight, to keep it out of his face. "Music is a wonderful thing, it's such a pleasing way to express yourself and spend your time." Just then Mashiro jumped up out of her seat, "What the hell is your problem Mashiro?!" asked Kensei, frowning at her, his amber eyes showing suspicion. Mashiro beamed brightly at him, "I'm going to go up and sing, it looks so much fun." Hachi smiled, a kind look on his large, round face. "That sounds like a fine idea Mashiro, I'm sure you will do well." "Since when do you sing?" Love inquired. Mashiro pouted, "I can sing just like anyone else can," "Yeah, and you probably sound like a wounded animal." Kensei replied in his usual harsh and cold tone. Mashiro scrunched up her face in annoyance, her bottom lip poking out. "Aww, you're so mean Kensei. Well I'll show you, I can do anything I want to!" With that, she stomped up to the stage, fuming as she went and started looking through the song book. "Oh that Kensei, he's always so mean to me and doesn't think I can do anything. Well, I'll show him." "Hey, isn't that the former lieutenant of Squad 9?" questioned Izuru, watching Mashiro put her song request in. Shuhei nodded, "That's Mashiro Kuna, she was lieutenant of Squad 9 before I was placed." Just then dance music filled the room and Mashiro started to sing.

"There's a stranger in my bed,

There's a pounding in my head.

Glitter all over the room,

Pink flamingos in the pool.

I smell like a minibar,

D J's passed out in the yard.

Barbie's on the barbecue,

This a hickey or a bruise?

Pictures of last night ended up online,

I'm screwed, oh well.

It's a blacked out blur,

But I'm pretty sure it ruled.

Damn."

Her face all lit up, Mashiro projected her fun filled voice throughout the room. She used the whole of the stage to dance around while she sang, her eyes bright as she sang each word on the correct pitch.

"Last Friday night,

Yeah, we danced on tabletops.

And we took to many shots,

Think we kissed, but I forgot.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, we maxed our credit cards.

And got kicked out of the bar,

So we hit the boulevard.

Last Friday night,

We went streaking the park.

Skinny dipping in the dark,

Then we had a ménage à trois.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, I think we broke the law.

Always say we're gonna stop.

O-oh-oh!

This Friday night,

Do it all again.

This Friday night,

Do it all again."

While she sang the chorus, Mashiro jumped down off the stage and began jumping up onto the tables dancing while she sang, bounding around from table to table, and attempting to act flirty with the men in the room. "Well, that girl is quite a bundle of energy." said Shunsui, as he watched Mashiro's performance, although his face couldn't help but show some amusement in the girl's antics. Ukitake laughed, "Yes, I must say she is very much like the lieutenant for Squad 11." "I think Mashiro is having way too much fun with this," replied Love, pouring yet another glass of beer while watching Mashiro sing. "We'll all have to be drunk by the end of the night just to get through all this." agreed Rose, moving his glass over to get another round.

"Trying to connect the dots,

Don't know what to tell my boss.

Think the city towed my car,

Chandeliers on the floor.

Ripped my favorite party dress,

Warrants out for my arrest.

Think I need a ginger ale,

That was such an epic fail.

Pictures of last night,

Ended up online.

I'm screwed, oh well.

It's a blacked out blur,

But I'm pretty sure it ruled.

Damn.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, we danced on table tops.

And we took too many shots,

Think we kissed but I forgot.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, we maxed our credit cards.

And got kicked out of the bar,

So we hit the boulevard.

Last Friday night,

We went streaking in the park.

Skinny dipping in the dark,

Then we had a ménage à trois.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, I think we broke the law.

Always say we're gonna stop,

Oh-whoa-oh!

This Friday night.

Do it all again,

This Friday night.

Do it all again,

This Friday night."

By this time everyone was out on the dance floor, Mashiro danced her way in an out of them and jumped up on top of the bar, jumping up and down. Everyone was laughing and many had to move their drinks so that she didn't accidentally knock them over. Gin continued taking every opportunity he could, when people weren't in his way, to take pictures of the hyperactive girl, just for the sheer pleasure of it. He had quite a few plans on what to do with those pictures when he got back, not that he would tell anyone what those plans were, of course. As Mashiro went into the final verses of the song, she decided to get all the audience involved. She jumped off the bar and ran back up to the stage, jumping up and down and getting people to join along.

"T.G.I.F.

T.G.I.F.

T.G.I.F.

T.G.I.F.

T.G.I.F.

T.G.I.F.

Last Friday night,

Yeah, we danced on table tops.

And we took too many shots,

Think we kissed but I forgot.

The song ended and panting slightly, Mashiro smiled and gave a bow before putting the microphone back and bounding back over to her table. "So, what do you think of me now Kensei?" Keeping his stern look, not wanting to admit that Mashiro actually sounded very decent, Kensei just looked away. "Well, you weren't as bad as I thought you would sound, I suppose." "Only you would actually jump up onto the tables," Shinji replied, keeping his usual wide grin. "That was very good Mashiro, you did a fine job." complimented Hachi, smiling kindly at her. Mashiro smiled back and winked, "Thanks Hachi, I'm glad you liked it." After the crowd died down from Mashiro's song, the room went quiet as everyone looked around for someone else to go up. Ikkaku scowled, "Well what are we waiting for, is someone going to go up and sing or not?" "My my, you haven't changed have you?" observed Gin, his same grin still on his place as he walked by Squad 11's table. Yumichika glared at him, "What are you all doing here anyway, it's anything but beautiful to be in the same place as your enemies." "Captain Aizen thought we deserved some well needed time off, how are we supposed to know ya were all here?" Gin asked. Walking up, Rangiku tried to give Gin her best dark look. "Well I'm tired of waiting for someone to sing, if no one is going up then I'll go myself and sing again." she declared, but as she walked past Gin grabbed her arm. "Not so fast now Rangiku, I believe our next singer will be coming up very shortly." he said with a sly smile on his face. "Who are you talking about?" Rangiku asked as she pulled her arm from Gin's grip. Her answer came when the spotlights on the stage suddenly flashed on.
