Korosu woke up late in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her calender. "What the..." The thing that caught her attention was the circled day, which happened to be that day. "Huh, so it's pretty-boys birthday?" Korosu smirked. "Looks like me and Ikkaku got some work to do, then."
After getting dressed, Korosu walked over to Ikkaku's room. "Yo Ikkaku! Get your lazy ass up. We need to get ready for something." She waited a few moments, then the door to Ikkaku's room slid open.
"What the hell, Korosu? What do we need to get ready for?" Ikkaku yawned.
Korosu scoffed. "Did you already forget? It's Yumichika's birthday." she folded her arms across her chest. "I don't think pretty-boy will be too happy if he finds out you forgot."
Ikkaku stared at Korosu in surprise, then quickly slid the door close again. A few moments passed before he came out, fully dressed.
Korosu grinned. "Wow, that was fast. Now c'mon. We need to get a surprise party set up for Yumichika." she started walking towards the empty squad 11 meeting area.
Ikkaku easily kept pace with Korosu. "So do you have any idea of how to set up the surprise?"
"Nope." Korosu said bluntly. Ikkaku sighed, as if he knew she was going to say that.
They finally reached the meeting area, and in the middle was a pile of party decorations. "I found them in the human world. Those humans sure do have interesting things to celebrate stuff."
Korosu pointed to the left side. "You work on that side. I'll work on this side. So then we can spilt the work evenly." Even though she said that, she had no intention of doing a lot of work. She grabbed the banner that said "happy birthday!" on it. "Where should we put this, Ikkaku?"
Ikkaku looked over his shoulder at Korosu, picking up a few decorations. "How the hell should I know?"
Korosu grimaced and threw the banner at Ikkaku's head. "What did you do that for?!" He yelled at her.
Korosu walked over to Ikkaku and kicked him in the side, making him fall. "DECORATE THE PLACE YOURSELF!" Ikkaku stared at Korosu, not knowing what just happened, or what he did.
"What the..?? What makes you say that all of a sudden? I didn't do anything!" He argued, getting back up. Just then, Yachiru rode in on her scooter.
She skidded to a stop. "Hiya Cueball! Hiya Su-su!" She waved crazily, obviously in a more hyper mood than ever. Korosu and Ikkaku both twitched at the same time. They both hated their nicknames. Yachiru hopped off her scooter and onto Ikkaku's shoulder, ready to bite his head. "Whatchya two up to?" she asked with a smile.
"We're setting up a surprise party for Yumichika, Yachiru-san." Korosu said.
Yachiru blinked. "Sounds like fun! I'll go get Kenny to help us!" She laughed and jumped back onto her scooter, and sped off before Korosu or Ikkaku could stop her.
They sighed in unison, Yachiru could be such a pain. They went back to decorating when their Captian arrived with Yachiru on his back.
"I hear you two are setting up a party? Who for?" Kenpachi asked.
"Yumichika, sir." Ikkaku said. "Today is his birthday."
Kenpachi grinned. "Yumichika's birthday, huh? This should be interesting." He motioned to his zanpakuto, hoping that he could get Yumichika in a birthday brawl.
"Captain," Korosu started. "Do you think maybe we could go just one day without fighting?"
Kenpachi frowned. "Well where's the fun in that?"
Korosu tried to think of something to say, but couldn't think of anything. So she shrugged. "If you want to fight, who's stoppin' ya?" she said with a slight grin.
An hour or so later, the decorating was finished. Korosu wiped her forehead and smiled. "Alright. Now time for someone to get the birthday boy." She implied that to be 'Ikkaku, go get Yumichika'.
When Ikkaku didn't move, Korosu looked at him. "Well?" She said.
"What? When did I become the fetcher??" Ikkaku said.
"Just get him." Korosu said.
Ikkaku sighed. "Fine." He walked off, mumbling.
A few moments passed when Ikkaku returned with Yumichika. The area was empty except for the decorations. "What's going on here, Ikkaku?" Yumichika asked.
Korosu and Yachiru jumped out of their hiding spot. "Happy Birthday Yumichika!" Yachiru yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUN-YUN!!! instead.
Kenpachi walked up behind Yumichika and patted him on the shoulder. "Happy birthday, Kid." He grinned.
Yumichika started to get teary-eyed. "You made this beautiful party for me? I'm touched." He said, brushing his hair back with his hand.
Korosu smiled and walked up to Yumichika. "Happy Birthday, pal."
Yumichika smiled. "Thank you. Was this your idea, Koro-chan?"
Korosu nodded. "It sure was. Now lets get this party started off with some sake!"
They all cheered and Kenpachi chuckled.

Happy Birthday, Yumichika
