I don't own Bleach! Again!

Drunk Again:

After a long hard day of work, Hitsugaya was ready to call it a night. Unfortunately, fate had other plans in store for him. As he made his way back towards his office, he got the feeling that he wasn't alone. As a matter of fact, he could hear laughing. And it seemed to be coming from his office.

"For God's sake, what now?" he thought grimly as he moved to open the door.

Once inside, he saw a very unpleasant sight. Hisagi, Kira, Shunsui and Ikkaku drinking large amounts of sake in the middle of the room, all looking rather red in the face. Hisagi was waving a bottle around and the others held up their empty cups, ready for another helping.

"What in God's name are you doing?"

They all turned hearing the bitter voice of the captain of Squad 10. Completely intoxicated, Kira took his harsh tone as an invitation to join in. He grabbed a nearby bottle and thrust it towards him. "Go 'head! Drink up!"

Hitsugaya's eyes narrowed. "You're joking, right?"

"Come on! I happen to know for a fact that you've had this stuff before!"

Ikkaku nodded. "It's all true. I was there. I saw everything."

Hitsugaya's eye twitched. "That was an accident and you know it! Besides, she promised to never do anything like that again."

"Judging from the look on her face when we saw her last, I'd say that there's no chance of her ever drinking sake with you within a mile of her. That's for sure," Shunsui said.

"Yeah, what did you do to her anyway?"

He folded his arms. "That is none of your business. Just know that I got my point across."

Kira's hand was inching closer with the sake bottle, tempting him to drink.

"Get that thing out of my face."

"Come on..! Drink!"

Hitsugaya pushed him away. He teetered from all the sake in his system but recovered and tried again, whining about how much better he would feel after a drink. Again, Hitsugaya pushed him away.

"Why would I drink that stuff anyway? The last time I had it in my system, I blacked out for half a day and had a nice big hangover to care for! I'm not drinking it!"

Hisagi backed up Kira. "He's right, though. You're way too tense. You should really have a drink. It'll help you loosen up."

"Forget it!"

Ikkaku pressed his cup to Hitsugaya's face, trying to force it into his mouth. "Come on! Drink up, little man! Be with the big boys!"

"Get away from me!" He pushed Ikkaku's hand away but he was relentless. He kept trying to force it down his throat, ordering him to open up. "I said get away!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

"Get out of here! This is my office!"

"We know," Shunsui managed before taking another swig. "That's why we're in here. We're taking a helping from Rangiku's secret stash. Good, huh?"

"Good? Maybe for you because you're the ones drinking it, but I, for one, am pissed! I want you all out of here now!"

"Make us!" Kira teased.

"Don't push me."

"No, let's."

Hitsugaya expression changed. What was that supposed to mean? "Huh?"

"I said 'let's', right guys?" Hisagi looked at the others. They nodded back. "So let's."

Hitsugaya backed up. "Wait. What do you mean by that? What's that supposed to mean? Let's what?"

"Let's!" Hisagi and Kira each grabbed one of the little captain's arms and pulled him over to the table. He kicked and fought back, but when Ikkaku came in to help, he didn't stand a chance. They pinned him down on the table and Shunsui handed them a fresh bottle of sake.

"Wait! What are you doing?! Stop it!"

While Kira and Ikkaku held him down flat on his back, Hisagi opened the bottle and moved in.

"I said stop it! That's an order!"

Ignoring his protests, Hisagi shoved the bottle into Hitsugaya's open mouth and tipped the bottom toward the ceiling, forcing him to drink. Helpless, Hitsugaya had no choice but to gulp the horrible stuff down against his will. He chugged the whole bottle.

It was only then that he was allowed to sit up, gasping for air. Hisagi patted his back with a chuckle. "So how do you feel?"

Hitsugaya belched. "Horrible."

Shunsui handed them another bottle. "I think he needs more."

"No, I don't!" Hitsugaya tried to make a break for the door, but was held down and restrained a second time. They forced him to drink the second bottle as well. He kicked and thrashed about, but he had no choice but to drink it. It was either that or choke.

Once that bottle was empty, he was allowed to sit up again. Only this time, he required help from them to do so. He sat up and moaned.

"Better?"

Hitsugaya shot him a death-glare as response. He struggled to stand, but toppled back down onto the table, too off kilter. The sake was already taking effect. He was feeling dizzy.

"So, you want some more? You're looking pretty loose to me already."

Hitsugaya glared at him again and stood up. He grabbed hold of Hisagi's shirt to keep his balance and pointed a finger in his face. "Listen here, you bastard! I look loose to you because I'm tipsy! And if you think I'm gonna…" He trailed off and put his finger to his chin thoughtfully. "Huh… That's a funny word, isn't it?"

"What word?"

"Tipsy." Hitsugaya chuckled as it fell from his lips. "See? It sounds so funny. Tipsy. Tipsy! Tip-sy. Tippy!" He burst into a huge giggle fit.

Hisagi patted his shoulder and handed him another bottle.

This wasn't going to end well.
