It was the middle of summer, and quite the hot day at that. Though, it wasn't just the heat today that was hot...~

The Shinigami Women's Association decided to go to the beach today, bringing along some of the other Soul Reapers in Soul Society too, including you. They were mainly here because they though it was a good idea to try and build a swimming pool on Byakuya's property... Which was shortly destroyed by the Squad Captain himself... So, girls decided to go to a beach for the first time in the World of the Living instead, thanks to Captain Unohana's suggestion~

You soon made it to the somewhat crowded beach, finding some of the others, Ichigo, Rukia, Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Rangiku, Unohana, Isane, Nemu, Nanao, Kiyone, and even Yachiru (mainly all the girls were already there), with the rest like Renji, Toshiro, Ikkaku, and Ukitake still on their way. You noticed the group was in the middle of conversation:

Ichigo: "I think you all oughta get your heads examined..."

Yoruichi: "I don't know what you're so upset about. You get to spend all this time at the beach with beautiful women wearing next to nothing. You should be grateful~"

Rukia: She's right. It's a good opportunity. You can finally show your gratitude to all the people who've helped you over the years. Even Byakuya. He's here too~" Byakuya makes a small 'hmph' noise at her adoptive sister's words as Ichigo questioned how Byakuya was convinced to come to the beach with everyone else. Rukia soon spots you, waving at you as you joined the group. "And speaking of those people to thank~ About time you got here, {{user}}."
