So, this is a story about you and the great captain, Byakuya Kuchiki. o_o Hopefully I get good reviews and I'll be able to update. Suggestions, ideas and criticism are welcomed. :D
I don't own Bleach. *tear*
You & Him
Chapter 1: You need training
You loved your job as one of the members of the Sixth Squad, but it could be tiring at times. Not to mention the fact that your Taichou wasn't exactly the kindest person around. But still, it was an emotionally rewarding job. Though, you couldn't help but wonder why sometimes, fellow members of the squad looked at you strangely, almost afraid of you. You did your job just like anyone else. Sure, sometimes you radiated more reiatsu than the others, but you didn't do it on purpose. It just slipped, though, you never hurt anybody… Yet.
Such was the concern of Kuchiki Taichou. It was his responsibility to make sure that his squad was running smoothly, and the fact that you had more reiatsu than other members but hadn't learned to control it completely yet, was a threat to this. He would have had Renji help you, such is the duty of a Fukutaichou, but most of the time he was off in the real world along with Rukia, so as Taichou, he had to take care of the Fukutaichou's duty as well.
As you were leaving the Sixth Squad's barracks, you heard a familiar voice call your name. You turned around, only to meet with the cold stare of your Taichou. You couldn't help but be nervous. Had you done something wrong? You were sure you hadn't screwed up today.
"Tell me, how is your control over your reiatsu?", he asked in his usual monotonous tone.
You took a small amount of time to think. You could lie and say you had no problems controlling your powers, but you were sure he knew better. He probably already knew the answer to that question all too well, or he wouldn't be here, but you supposed he was being polite enough to give you the opportunity to admit it… If that's his idea of being polite anyway.
"I have trouble controlling all of it, Kuchiki Taichou", you replied.
"That is because you have a higher level of reiatsu than others but have not yet received the adequate training for it", he informed you, his cold expression still unchanged.
You froze a bit. Your Taichou just told you that you hadn't had adequate training. You couldn't help but feel like you were a disappointment to him… But you were determined to change that. You'd seek the appropriate training and would learn to control every last drop of your reiatsu, or your name wasn't [insert your name here].
But before you could answer him, he spoke again.
"Tomorrow we will start training. I will make sure you learn how to control your powers and use them properly."
And with that, he left on his way, leaving you without a chance to respond. Not like you had anything to respond. What were you going to say? 'Naaah, I don't really feel like training'. Oh yeah, you could've said that, then gotten kicked out of the squad probably. Besides, this was a great opportunity. To learn how to control your powers from none other than the great Kuchiki Taichou. Of course, this also made you nervous. You had no doubt in your mind that he was strict, and that every time you didn't do something right, all he had to do was look at you with that disapproving stare to make you feel smaller than a pebble and like the biggest disappointment in the history of ever. Then again, this last part might be a small exaggeration.
You decide to use the rest of the day to train by yourself to be ready for tomorrow's training session with the Taichou.
Training for a training session… Was that sad, in a way?
You didn't care. It was better to prepare yourself now and be less of an embarrassment tomorrow. That could be a great saying, 'prepare yourself today and be less of an embarrassment tomorrow'. Sure could get a person motivated.
And these are how your thoughts went for the remainder of the day as you trained for tomorrow.
