Byakuya glared at his vice-captain, ignoring the snickers from his division members. Making a mental note to reprimand all of them later, he stalked to Renji, who started to tremble, not from laughter, though the scene was rather ridiculous. As silly as the situation was, fear of his captain was the over-riding emotion. Normally, he was afraid of Byakuya. When Byakuya was angry, Renji was petrified. When Byakuya was in the cold, simmering rage, like now, that he was famous for, Renji was ready to hide.

"Why did you place a bucket of ice cold water on my door?" asked Byakuya coldly. Renji said nothing, as the trembling increased.

"Answer me!" yelled Byakuya. Renji trembled more.

"You call yourself a vice-captain? A former member of 11th? I now see why they kicked you out!" growled Byakuya. Renji gulped. "Why. Did. You. Place. A. Bucket. Of. Ice. Cold. Water. On. My. Door?"

Wordlessly, Renji pointed to the door. Byakuya turned, to find his division watching them, snickering. Some held cameras. Belatedly, Byakuya realized that the entire prank had been pulled off to allow the Seretei Newspaper team, or, more likely, the Shinigami's Women's' Association, to take pictures of Byakuya in all the most unlikely states, such as dripping wet, startled, or shocked.

Growling, Byakuya turned ready to beat the life out of Renji for setting this up. All he saw, however, was the empty space. Renji had, wisely, disappeared.

Back at the headquarters for the Shinigami Women's Association, the members gulped as they saw the murderous look on Renji's face.

A/N: Short, I know. But you shall see. I actually don't know if I will write the others that were planned for this... Gah. If i get enough encouragement (through reviews) I might write the others.
