His eyes were wide and his mouth agape. The raven haired man stared at his reflection in the mirror. He could not believe his eyes. It had to be a dream, it just had to. There was no way that the red dot on the end of his nose was what he thought it to be - if it was, he was going to scream, very, very loudly.

After all, why would anyone want a zit on the centre of their face?

Byakuya Kuchiki, Captain of the 6th division and 28th head of the noble Kuchiki clan walk through the Sereitei, hands clamped over his mouth and nose. He had received many stares from some of the random and not so random shinigami as he walked by.

Why was he covering his face? Why did he not show to everyone his poker face?

Besides that, why did he look like he was going to cry?

Renji could not help but stare at his captain, wondering what was going through the older man's mind. The Captain had not removed his hands from his face all day. There shouldn't be anything to hide, for Byakuya was known as the most handsome man in all of Soul Society. Why would he need to hide?

'C-Captain?'

'Yes, Renji?' Came the muffled and barely audible voice.

'Why are your hands in front of your face?' Byakuya shot Renji and glare which sent chills down the liutenants spine.

'What does that have to do with your work?'

'Nothing?'

'Then refrain from asking.'

'Oh... Okay...' And the rest of the day went on, with random conversations. Nothing about Byakuya's face ever came up again.

Yoruichi strolled through the Sereitei with the grace of a cat. She was looking for the person that she just loved to tease. Of course, the unlucky victim was Byakuya Kuchiki. She spotted him, with his head bowed and his hand over his face. Her head cocked to one side - since when had little Byakuya been unconfident in something, especially his appearance?

'Little Byakuya!' Byakuya looked up, his hand not moving. His eyes seemed to glare as the woman he had a secret crush on (Wait, what?) advanced to where he was. Yoruichi poked her face to where Byakuya's was, just a few centimetres away.

'What are you doing?' Byakuya asked. Yoruichi did not seem to hear him. Instead, she lifted a purple brow.

'What's with your face?'

'Nothing!' The young man snapped. His reaction only peaked the curiousity of the annoying cat. Frowning, Yoruichi grabbed his arms and pulled it away from his face (Hey!). Byakuya scowled as his other arm came up and replaced the arm Yoruichi had.

'Show me your face!' Yoruichi wrestled with the man until he was pinner under her. She held his arms to the side, and stared at him with wide eyes. He glared back at her, angry because she had seen his face. Yoruichi started to shake, and broke out into a wide grin. After a few seconds, she burst out laughing.

'Sh-Shut up!' Byakuya growled, and Yoruichi gave him a sincere smile.

'You know, even with that zit you still look handsome to me.' Byakuya blinked.

...Did...Did she just compliment me?

A smile tugged at Byakuya's lips, but he hid it with the lips of the woman on top of them.

They broke away after a few seconds, and Byakuya felt Yoruichi shift. His eyes caught the movement, and more importantly the object in her hand. His eyes widened, realizing that was exactly what he needed. Zit cream!

'Give me that!' Yoruichi laughed as she jumped from roof to roof with Byakuya chasing after her.

'I'm going to kill him... I'm going to kill him... But... how?' SoiFon paced back and forth. She was plotting the destruction of Byakuya Kuchiki, after witnessing the passionate kiss between the two. An idea popped into her mind.

The next day, Byakuya practically stomped through Sereitei. People snickered behind newspapers everywhere.

On the front page was a enlarged image of a man with a large zit on the center of his face.

I'm high. 'Cuz I got resurrected.
