A/N: No real plot, just Byakuya taking note of significant events of his daily life as a captain. Most of this will be crack for humor and parody's sake. It was meant for him to express his feelings in some way that was not fighting or looking down on others so to relieve stress, according to Unohana. So basically he will be very honest and informal in writing.
By the way, the phrases/words italicized and enclosed with [-] are supposed to have a strikethrough, indicating that these were supposed to be written over and covered since does not have strikethroughs in their formatting. I will try to update this every week, even if I just did this to get rid of my writer's block and have something to do in between studying.
I do not own Bleach and obviously its characters.

This journal is meant for the expression of thoughts, feelings and opinions on everyday matters. Captain Unohana strictly suggested to do this to lessen the mental stress I have from all the responsibilities I have to do. I would like to thank my sister, Rukia Kuchiki, for this very nice journal which she bought back in the Realm of the Living. The fact that the color matches perfectly the color of Senbonzakura's release pleases me.
To start with this so-called expression, today was just like other days. I'd rather not detail it out but really, it was uneventful.
Probably why I ended up finally taking the months-long advice of writing in this journal.
I think Abarai fell asleep doing his paperwork again.
I am correct.
As always.
And he shall not be neglecting his work.
Like always.

Coffee is definitely one of the best things the Realm of the Living has to offer. I left a fresh pot of it on the desk for Abarai to drink and I had not known the entire list of effects but I am glad to say that it was enough to make my vice-captain do the work I tell him.
He was able to finish all of his paperwork in one go, proofread it thrice, rearranged it seven times in seven different ways, rearranged my papers five times, delivered it to the first division, came back, helped clean the office, made us lunch, washed the dishes, cleaned the office once more, did push-ups, ran a few laps around the division barracks, did push-ups on one hand, did jumping jacks, did push-ups on one hand with me sitting on his back, made me tea and showered before falling dead asleep in his futon at around 4 pm.
I felt Rukia's spiritual energy nearby and left Abarai to rest for the rest of the day to join her in going home. Apparently she will be leaving next week for the real world and I decided to spend as much time with her as I can before she goes.
We successfully managed to avoid the little ingrate of a vice-captain which was Vice-Captain Kusajishi when I felt her feline-like pink aura on the way home.
I have hired twenty more security officers and fifteen candy-carrying decoys placed around the perimeter of our mansion, by the way, and I am confident that this will be the end of my problem with the child.
But I do not think it was just caffeine that made my Vice-Captain that active.
July 1
I entrusted Abarai the mission of exterminating the hollows that continued to pour in a certain city in the Realm of the Living and as a result, my office is once again in peace. His other paperwork is entrusted to the third seat and just in time the orange-haired brat came barging in whilst I was drinking tea.
He is currently questioning me as to why I am ignoring him while writing this journal.
It only took me the simple threat of my Senbonzakura to get him to sit down and stop peeking in my journal.
HEY BYAKUYA'S DIARY.
Ichigo is no longer in the premises, apparently he actually wanted to see my bankai again, so I granted him his wish.
Also, I would like to clarify that this is a journal, not a diary.
July 2
I am currently listening to Rukia arguing with Ichigo that there is nothing he should be afraid of. It seems he has yet to inform her that I have laid out a clear threat to him. His aura is erratic and annoying, much to my distaste and with Rukia being irritated, the energy radiating from the other side of the wall was distracting.
I moved to the garden, rooms away from the two. I always wonder about their exact relationship with each other. Rukia seems to have a tendency to be close to men like Ichigo and Renji and while my vice-captain has grown to be a great soldier and fighter, I do not see a peaceful and quiet future if he were to be with my sister. Ichigo, on the other hand, is an enigma. He could be endearing and annoying, loud but silent, abrasive and admirable all at the same time. Perhaps he could be a better pair.
Wait, no. It is not for me to decide whom she wants to be with.
As long as they're not from the eleventh division. Or the twelfth. Definitely not the twelfth.
A butterfly just informed me that the Captain Commander reminded us captains that there shall be a general meeting tomorrow.
Bloody hell. I thought my wishes of the old man forgetting those general meetings would finally come true this time.
July 3
I have won the secret bet between Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyoraku and I as to which captains will not be attending and who will be more likely to fall asleep.
Captain Soi Fong was on a mission three days earlier, so I had some of my money on her, and of course, she had not come. Captain Ukitake had a bet on Captain Hitsugaya (he always betted on him no matter what was being bet on), who just in time, came back from the World of the Living and attended the meeting half-awake. Captain Kyoraku predicted it would be Captain Kurotsuchi (he was my first choice, but he had beaten me to it, this captain would just ignore announcements unless it spiked his interest or there were going to be potential specimens) but it seemed like the Captain Commander was not happy with his performance so he might have threatened the scientist to come.
The three of us betted on Captain Kenpachi as to who would be falling asleep standing at some point. Because he does all the time and it has become a fact.
Abarai and I shall be feasting on my favorite spicy dishes when he comes back for free.
It is very amusing to watch him glow red and tear up while eating.
July 4
Rukia has a very large stuff toy of Chappie the Bunny inside her room. When or where she bought it, I do not know, but I have a feeling it is quite expensive due to its very velvet and soft texture. It's very nice to hold and [snug] touch. I've been thinking of buying one before.
For Rukia of course. Not for myself. Because I am a grown man, a captain, a clan head and a very busy man. I do not have time to hold and cuddle such soft and velvet stuff toy and make myself feel better by doing so even [if I want]
Captain Unohana was right. Having a journal does make you honestly expressive.
This shall be the last entry for the day.
My Vice-Captain is yet to arrive from his mission. Not that I mind, I like the quiet.
July 5
Captain Ukitake has been feeling well as of the late. How did I know? There was suddenly a huge bowl of candies on my desk when I arrived at the barracks even if I have told him countless of times that I do not like sweets. I also assumed that Captain Kyoraku was with him, judging by the two bottles of sake beside the bowl. Again, I have yet to remind him again that sake is sweet, and I do not like sweets. Perhaps their old age is getting to them.
Captain Hitsugaya is in a hurry, and not in a good mood. He just passed the office and the temperature dropped around a sure ten degrees.
It seems like his Vice-Captain had joined Abarai in his mission and has not returned yet, according to the butterfly, and he was advised to see the situation. I, however, was not informed of this, so I do not think I am needed to see if my Vice-Captain is still alive and well.
Going back to my first topic for today's entry, there are some spicy chocolate mixed in. Very spicy and good, I must say.
This shall be my welcoming gift for my dearest Vice-Captain.
