Note: Kimi is the girl from Hanatarous rescue squad. She has no name in canon but is called Kimi in some Japanese doujins. Kamio is a name I made up for the girl from the twelfth squad with the chains in her hair.

Pairings: KiraxHitsu, OgidouxIsane, HanaxHina, NanaoxMatsu, onesided HitsuxHina

"We have to do something about this." Matsumoto leaned forward, her gorgeous breasts swinging forward (and Nanao felt the strong urge to grab the womans gi and pull it up to prevent them from sliding out of it... Not that the ninth division fukutaichou would have minded seeing them too much. Just not in the middle of a meeting.) "As the Shinigami Women Association it's our duty to help out here."

"And what?" Soi Fong leaned back in her seat. Although her hands were busy with sewing (and Nanao really wondered where all the Yoruichi-dolls went to), her ears never left the conversation. "The boy is depressed. And as you just said, all the alcohol in the world doesn't help."

The blonde pouted. "Of course it does! There's nothing better than a good drink! It's just that it does not last..."

"Have you tried candy?" Yachiru climbed the table to grab some sweets that lay in the middle of it. "Byakushi should have some left, he hasn't given any to me for weeks now!"

"I don't think Kuchiki-taichou would give candy to anybody but you." The ninja didn't look up. "Besides, I don't think sugar can heal depression." She gave Unohana a short glance. "Can it?"

The older woman shook her head. "No... I actually don't think that there is any food or beverage that can heal Kira-fukutaichou."

That woke Kiyone, who had been sleeping with the head lying on her crossed arms. "Does that mean there is no way to help him?" The girl's head shot up, just to be punched back by Kimi who sat next to her.

"His suffering is emotional, which means that we have to heal his emotions, not his body, dumbass. There's no use in giving cough syrup to someone who has broken his leg." She paused to avoid the other girl's fist. The pause grew longer when Kiyone actually managed to land a punch and they started a fight (which was soon ended by Unohana glaring at them, though. Both the girls froze and turned silent.)

"Maybe we could find him a lover?"

The fourth division taichou nodded. "That would be a possible way to get him out of his nutshell. Though there are certain conditions such a lover would need to fulfil."

"Conditions?"

Another nod. "Taking into consideration his very situation, yes. You have to know that a major part of his depression is due to his currently very low self-esteem. It would be likely that a strong personality as a lover would make things worse that rather than help."

Her words earned her blank stares, except for Nemu who pressed her fingertips together and already seemed to think about the consequences. "You mean he needs an uke?"

Which left Unohana confused. "What?"

Kimi jumped at the chance to rehabilitate herself. "That means the submissive part of a couple."

"Uhm... yes. That was kind of what I was talking about... Though I see some trouble there. I would have thought about Hinamori, they seemed to be good friends, but..."

"She's a little bit too catatonic?"

"Isane..."

"Is in a steady relationship already. Ogidou-hasseki would be very upset with Kira-"

"Oh. Ok... Since when?"

"About three months now? They aren't too public about it though."

"... Kamio?"

"Nobody from the twelfth, the poor boy has enough problems as he's now... Sorry Nemu."

"No offence taken."

"Screw the girls." Nanao sighed. "How about Hanatarou?"

They considered it.

"Who?"

"My squads seventh seat." Unohana explained. "He might be a good choice, as optimistic as he is..."

"He seems to have a total crush on Hinamori." Kimi smiled. "And, despite her state, she seems to appreciate his tender caring..."

Nanao hid her smile, for she could see how much her ignorance about the happenings in her own squad confused the brown-haired taichou, but knew that the older woman wouldn't want anyone too see it. "There is this brown-haired friend of his..."

"Nobody from the twelfth, how often do I have to mention that?"

Silence.

"MakiMaki!"

"You're kidding?"

"Uhm..." Yachiru stuffed another marshmallow into her mouth. "You're right, he never has any candy!"

Silence.

"How about... I know he isn't submissive or so," a short glance was thrown towards Matsumoto, "But how about Hitsugaya-taichou?"

"You're only mentioning him because he's short."

"Uhm... I guess the answer is yes. But they seemed to get along quite well?"

Matsumoto, who had remained silent until now, tilted her head slightly. "They do. Kira used to move to our division for his paperwork when I and Gin were out drinking... And taichou mentioned that he liked him being around."

Silence.

"But... He isn't exactly what I'd call an uke, although he looks one."

Silence.

"Isn't there a way to make him one?"

They stared at each other.

"If there was... Do you think we could get photographs?"
