Bleach Karaoke Madness Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Acting Like A Diva

Before Gin could answer Rangiku's question the spotlights on the stage flashed on and everyone went completely quiet as they saw who was on stage. Momo stared at the stage with her eyes wide, "That's Captain Aizen!" Izuru, who had been talking to Shuhei was unable to even say anything at all, pure shock on his face. Getting over his shock before his friends did, Shuhei just sighed. "That bastard has really gone over the deep end," Momo glared at him her eyes shining, "Don't you dare talk badly about Captain Aizen, he was forced to leave by Captain Ichimaru." "He made the choice on his own, no one made him do anything." Shuhei reasoned. "Captain Aizen would never willingly betray us, I know he'd never do that!" cried Momo, on the verge of tears. "Uh guys, come on. There's no need to fight," Izuru interjected, trying to stop the argument and putting his hand on Momo's shoulder. "It doesn't matter now, the damage has already been done." Rangiku interrupted, her eyes soft. "We can't change what has happened, no one was to blame because none of us ever saw this coming." Momo and Shuhei were quiet for a moment before each sitting down and waiting for Aizen to start singing. Izuru smiled in relief, "Thanks Rangiku, I thought things were going to heat up there." "No problem, I know all too well the pain that you've gone through." Rangiku answered, sadness in her soft eyes. Aizen was wearing a long glittering gold dress with black high heels and a blond wig, his make up was so badly done that he looked like a clown, and around his neck he had on a red feather boa. He put on bright red lipstick, which made his lips look twice as big as they normally were, his eye shadow was a deep purple and thickly put on, making his eyes look smaller and more sinister. For once in his life, Shunsui was lost for words. "Um, this is slightly disturbing." "I wonder if he's had too much to drink," Ukitake replied, just as shocked as everyone else. Gin chuckled, snapping some pictures before Aizen began singing. "Captain Aizen never backs out of a challenge, this is quite exciting." he thought, pleased with himself in an odd sort of way. Techno R&B music began to play through the speakers as Aizen began his song, strutting across the stage in his best attempt at techno dancing.

"I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey)

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a di...

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

Stop the track, lemme state facts.

I told you, gimme a minute and I'll be right back.

Fifty million around the world and they say I couldn't get it,

I done got so sick and filthy with Benjis, I can't spend it.

How you gon' be talking shit? You act like I just got up in it;

Been the number one diva in this game for a minute,

I know you read the paper-the one that they call the queen.

Every radio round the world know me cause that's where I be (first!)"

Aizen put on his best feminine look as he strutted across the stage singing, he did his best to arrogantly put himself out there as he started dancing in a disturbing hip hop fashion as much as he could manage with high heels on. "This is just disturbing," said Ichigo, shocked and disturbed at the scene before him. Gin laughed, taking picture after picture as he watched Aizen attempt to strut himself around, which wasn't all that hard considering that Aizen was arrogant enough to begin with. "As creepy as this is, it's also somewhat entertaining to watch." Renji stated, laughing despite himself. Rukia looked up, a scowl on her face. "Only you would say something like that Renji,"

"I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey),

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey),

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey),

I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a div...

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla,

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up.

Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler,

Getting money, divas gettin' money.

If you ain't gettin' money, they you ain't got nothing fo' me.

Tell me somethin'(tell me somethin'), where yo boss at?(where yo boss at?)

Where my ladies up in here that like to talk back?(that like to talk back?)

I wanna see her(I wanna see her), I'd like to meet ya(I'd like to meet her)

What you say?(Not to me!), she ain't no diva(she ain't no diva!)..."

Throwing back his hair wig in what attempted to be stylish fashion, Aizen strutted across the stage with his chest out and began dancing in as much of a pop girl's fashion as he could manage to the R&B beat of the music. Everyone just stared at him in disbelief, not finding any words suiting to what he was currently doing. Gin smiled as he paused for a short moment from taking pictures, "This is quite exciting, I never thought Captain Aizen would ever do something like this." "What the hell is this, this is just disturbing and messed up." groaned Ikkaku, a sour look on his face. "Stop being such a sour puss Baldy, it's fun to watch people make fools of themselves." chirped Yachiru, bouncing up and down on Kenpachi's shoulder. Yumichika looked over at Yachiru, frowning. "Only you would say something like that lieutenant, this is the kind of situation that only you could watch and not be phased by in the slightest. This is anything but beautiful, and should be a crime." he said. "Humph, well you guys just have no sense of fun at all." Yachiru answered by way of response, turning back to watch Aizen.

"Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

Since 15 in my stilettos, been strutting the game.

"What's yo age?" That's the question they ask when I hit the stage,

I'm a diva, best believe her, you see how she's getting paid?

She ain't calling him to grade-up, don't need him, her best maid.

This is a stick-up, stick-up(I need them bags and that money...)

We're gonna stick-up, stick-up(You see them ask "Where's that money?")

All my ladies get it up, I see you, I do the same.

Take it to another level, no passengers on my plane."

"You know something Ichigo, I like your performance better then this. I think I'm going to be scarred from this for a while," Uryuu replied, pushing his glasses up on his nose. At this point Aizen got down off the stage and attempted the best techno dancing he could manage while wearing high heels, the spotlight turned on to follow him as he danced around the tables, those sitting there moving away as he began flirting with them, men and women alike. "This is going to be one night I'm never going to forget, with all the pictures I've gathered I can begin my own scrapbook." said Gin, grinning happily as he took ultimate pleasure in Aizen's act at being a sexy female singer. Coming over to the table where Momo, Izuru, and Shuhei were sitting, Aizen took off the boa he was wearing and begin slowly wrapping it around Momo's neck, winking at her in a highly flirting manner that would make one think she was his lover if they did not know otherwise. Momo's eyes went wide, not even sure what to do or say. Izuru was speechless, grabbing Momo's arm. "Um, C-Captain, what are you doing?!" he asked. Sitting right behind them, Hitsugaya's aura became ice as he flashed his zanpaktou. "Stay away from her Aizen, I would rather not cause a scene but I will if I have to." Hitsugaya warned, his turquoise eyes flashing with anger. Aizen just grinned at him and danced his way in a girlish style fashion back up to the stage for the final verses of the song.

"I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva(hey),

I'm a-a diva(hey), I'm a, I'm a-a diva...

This is a stick-up, stick-up(I need them bags, all that money...)

Stick-up, stick-up(You ask them, "Where that money?")

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...

I'm a, I'm a-a diva, I'm a, I'm a-a diva, I'm a, I'm a-a diva..."

The spotlight turned off with the end of the song, bringing slight darkness to the front of the room, everyone just sat there in disbelief for several long minutes. Finally, slow applause came from those watching. "What the hell just happened?" Shuhei questioned in an attempt to bring conversation to Izuru and Momo, who were staring in shock and surprise. It was Izuru who finally found his voice, "I'm-I'm not really sure, that was all going way over my head. Are you alright Momo?" For a long while Momo did not answer, "Momo? Is everything alright?" Izuru asked again, concern growing on his face. Finally Momo seemed to find her voice enough to say, "Um, I think so. I'm just, well I'm not really sure what to think of what Captain Aizen just did." "Don't worry Momo, you have all of us here to protect you." replied Hitsugaya from the table behind them. She smiled, "Thanks Toshiro, I know you're all always here for me." Momo answered, now smiling at Izuru as she took his hand, laughing as Izuru blushed deeply. Hitsugaya scowled at her, "Stop calling me Toshiro, it's Captain Hitsugaya." "Geez, I think Aizen has completely gone insane." Shinji said, pouring himself another drink. "Well, he's a dumbass anyway so I'm not surprised he would pull this crap." answered Kensei, completely unamused by Aizen's antics on stage. After Aizen had changed out of his costume and washed off the makeup he came back out to sit back at his table next Ichimaru, "Well Gin, what did you think about that performance?" "That was definitely over the top Captain, but I got some great pictures out of it. Don't you think you overdid it just a little?" answered Ichimaru. Aizen shook his head as he took a sip of his wine, "Not at all, you know I always perform to highest of my ability." he said. "Yes you're right about that," Ichimaru replied, smiling as he looked over his pictures. "I believe it's your turn now Gin, we did have a deal after all and I fulfilled my end of it." Aizen reminded him. "Of course, you know me. I never go back on a deal, it's my turn now. Why don't ya take some pictures of my performance, I'd be more then grateful if ya did." said Ichimaru, his normal grin in place. Aizen nodded, "As you wish Gin, I look forward to your performance." "God, I hope the next person who sings does not mentally scar us." Shuhei stated, looking around to see who was going up next. "It can't be any worse then Aizen," replied Rangiku. "This is true." Shuhei agreed, nodding his head. Just then Ichiumaru went up on stage and began looking through song books for a good idea. "Since when does Captain Ichimaru sing?" asked Izuru, his mouth open in amazement. Rangiku shrugged, curiosity in her voice. "Beats me, he never sang even when we were together." "This is getting to be an interesting night, I have a feeling all of us will need to be drunk by the end of the night to get through this." said Shunsui, pouring himself his fifth glass of sake. "I do have to agree with you Shunsui, although I don't think it could really get much worse after Aizen's performance." Jushiro answered, thinking he may just have to take Shunsui up on his drinking offer, even if it was unspoken and not smart for someone in his condition to be drinking. Finally Ichimaru picked his song and turned into the DJ and waited for the song to start, old rock music played through the speakers. The beat was very catchy and upbeat and some people even decided to start dancing, using his best Texan accent, Ichimaru began to sing.

"There you go and baby, here am I.

Well you left me here so I could sit and cry,

Well golly gee, what have you done to me?

Well, it doesn't matter anymore.

Do you remember baby, last September?

How you held me tight each and every night,

Well woopsy daisy, how you drove me crazy.

But, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

There's no use in me a-crying,

I've done everything, and now I'm sick of trying.

I've thrown away my nights,

And wasted all my days over you.

Well you go your way and I'll go mine,

Now and forever, till the end of time.

I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through.

And, you won't matter anymore."

Ichimaru grinned straight at Rangiku as he swayed in time with the beat, Aizen taking pictures of him from their table. "I hate to say it, but that bastard can sing fairly decently." observed Hitsugaya, a frown on his face despite his slight surprise. "Wow, I never knew he was this good. His voice is so dreamy, even if that Texan accent is fake." thought Rangiku, remembering all the memories she and her lover had shared before he betrayed them all to join that traitor. "Buddy Holly is quite a classic, few people can truly do his justice." Uryuu said matter of factly. "Who the hell are you talking about Uryuu?" asked Ichigo, scowling at the Quincy. Uryuu sighed, "Once again Ichigo, you know nothing. Buddy Holly was one of the greatest rock and roll artists of his day, besides Elvis Presley. The two of them are credited with shaping rock and roll into what it is today, tragically Buddy Holly's life ended too early when the plane he was on crashed in a snow storm." "Hey Uryuu, what's with saying I know nothing? You're nothing but a show off and think you're so smart compared to everyone else!" Ichigo shot back, irritation as he leaned over the table. "No, I'm just stating the obvious." Uryuu answered calmly. "Stop being a stuck up dumbass, you aren't the smartest person here." snapped Ichigo. Rukia sighed, "Just let it go Ichigo, do you really want to cause a scene here in front of the entire Court Guard Squads, Vizards, and Espadas?" Ichigo stopped what he was going to say, "Yeah, good point Rukia. Sorry about that," Ichimaru went into the last verses of the song, also recalling memories that he had shared with Rangiku, regretting hurting her as he did. But, he knew she would be safe in the long run. He would do everything in his power to protect her from afar as much as he could, it was a promise he made to her when they were young.

"There's no use in me a-crying,

I've done everything, and now I'm sick of trying.

I've thrown away my nights,

And wasted all my days over you.

Now, you'll go your way and I'll go mine.

Now and forever, until the end of time.

I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through.

And you won't matter anymore,

You won't matter anymore."

The song ended and Ichimaru grinned, taking a bow before stepping off the stage. Everyone clapped and some whistled, giving him a standing ovation. "So what do ya think of that Captain Aizen?" Ichimaru asked, taking a rare flash of his red eyes as he sat back down. "I must say that was very well done Gin, I'm very impressed. Here is your camera back, I took your pictures as you requested." answered Aizen, handing Ichimaru's camera back to him. "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it." he said, as he began scanning through the photos. "I must say, that was an outstanding performance. Who knew that Captain Ichimaru could sing with that much talent." stated Ukitake, smiling. "Yeah, I've never heard someone who could sing that well." Shunsui said, nodding in agreement. "Well, that was much better then Aizen's performance. At least I'm not scarred by it," replied Shuhei. "Rangiku, did you know Ichimaru could sing that well?" questioned Momo, looking over at her. Rangiku shook her head, "No, I didn't."
