Chapter 1: Caption Abarai Renji

It was your typical day in the soul society as Caption Kuchiki Byakuya and Vice Captain Abarai Renji of division VI, were filling out paperwork. It was a hot mid spring's day around 1545(military time345pm). Renji was slowly drifting asleep at his desk; day dreaming about his caption. He mumbled something under his breath making Byakuya look up. He grinned to see the rouge haired man sleeping, and then decided not to be so hard on him, this time. "But you would like a honey bath…with a rubber ducky. Wouldn't you? " Renji said with some drool seeping from his mouth. Caption Kuchiki tilted his head in amazement as to think what Renji was dreaming about. What would honey have to do with a bath? Honey baths were only for a romantic evening with someone. Who was Renji dreaming about? As Byakuya was thinking about Renji a knock came to the door; not waking Renji up in the slightest. Then a man walked in looking all a panic. "Caption Kuchiki, I'm sorry to disturbed you, I'm Shiba Kaien from Squad 13. My caption wishes to have a word with you a moment." "Tell your Caption, I will be there shortly." And with that Kaien went straight away. Byakuya looked back at Renji who was still saying things of baths and something called 'a burrito'. Byakuya did not wish to bother Renji instead he wrote on a sticky note and stuck it to his head. The note read:

Renji,

I was kidnapped by a monster. It tried to eat my brain. I really wish you were here to save me. But you were fast asleep. So when you find this I may already be dead…or you will be IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR PAPREWOK DONE! Bya 3

Byakuya slapped it on Renji's head; Making a thick slapping sound. He smiled and walked out of the room. Renji just rolled over still muttering something, this time it was clearer. "No Caption, let me help you scrub you back, I'm already behind you. I love bath time with you, Mmmmm". The smile that Renji had was a soft sweet smile that fit the day. Little did he know, he was all alone.


When Byakuya came to the door of Caption Ukitake Juushiro, he knocked and was greeted to come in. He walking inside looking over the place to see it was spotless. Byakuya knew it had to have just been cleaned by someone because Ukitake was a very recently ill and for him to have cleaned up this fast would have made him sick again. Ukitake was making a spot of tea and bringing it over to the table.

"Please. Have a seat. Forgive me where are my manors? Oh, how are you old friend?" "Better days have seen me I s'pose, but nothing out of the ordinary. I heard that Urahara was banished yesterday, is that true?" Byakuya said keeping his stone strong expressionless face from showing anything. "Yes. I am afraid that is true. But I hear that he is doing well over in the land of the living. I think Caption Yoruichi went with him as she is nowhere to be found. I s'pose it was all for the better. After all, a man can not live life with out love. No matter how strong, smart, or lucky a man is. There is just no way."

Ukitake looked so sure of himself as if he knew what he was talking about. This made an expression pop up on Byakuya's face. "I did not know that Yoruichi and Urahara were an item?" "Well really they aren't, I was referring to Owmi, my former vice caption." When Ukitake said this, his eyes looked very pouty. But again nothing was said till there was a strong coughing jig that made Ukitake cough up a lot of blood. Byakuya wanted to help but he knew better. Ukitake motioned his hands in a way to let Byakuya know he was ok. He waited till he was done to quickly change the subject. "I am sorry to be so rude, but why did you wish to see me?"

Ukitake took a slow and steady breath before saying anything. "I am going to be going on a trip soon and I am taking a handful of my students. Your sister is one of them who I thought would enjoy this very much. I need your permission of cores and she is going to ask you tonight I believe so that takes care of the first part." Byakuya looked at Ukitake; pondering weather he should tell him he had some blood on his chin. But Byakuya was so entertained watching it about to drip as Ukitake talked, that he didn't say anything.

"The second thing is than I'm taking Shiba Kaien with me, so I need someone in charge of my squad for a week at most." "Why don't you ask Kyouraku Shunsui to do it?" "Well, because he is coming with me of cores. We need a little getaway to train some of our best students and in my…state, I needed some who could take of me if, well if I fall down a well and can't get up." Ukitake said with a smile. "So I am asking if I may barrow Renji to look after the rest of my squad while I'm away. Let him see what it is like to be in you shoes. I know I am asking a lot, but now that Urahara is gone, there really isn't anyone I know all to well for me to ask this kind of favor. And Renji knows most of the men here. Besides, you never know, they say distance brings friends closer together. Or it will get him out of your hair, which ever you prefer."

Byakuya thought about not having Renji around for a week. Then a sudden lump grew in his stomach that brought a lot of pain. He didn't understand it, but it felt like a sort of like longing. "I do not see a problem with letting you have Renji for a week." Byakuya said it before he though about it. Now he felt mad at himself. He was slowly acing with longing now and a disappointment brought on by himself. 'But why do I feel like this, it's not like I own Renji or anything. He's not moving or dying; so why do I feel this way?' "Good. I will be leaving tomorrow morning. Can you have him here before dawn? I wish to have some words with…"

Before Ukitake could finish his statement a knock on the door came so loud it sounded like a bomb. Byakuya knew it all too familiarly, and apparently so did Ukitake. "Pardon me for interrupting Caption Juushiro, but have you seen my Caption?" "Well why don't you come in and look for yourself?" Ukitake had a smile on his face as he said it, but Byakuya did not. His face was of stone, but this time he really meant it.

Renji came in and could already feel the burn from Byakuya's eyes. He felt like they were reading his soul. "Caption Bya…" "Not anymore. Here Ukitake, you may have him as you wish. I do not want him now." Byakuya said in a very harsh tone; His face as cold as ice. He could see the sadness start to dwell in Renji's face; the confusion of 'what have I done' and the blood drain from his soul. That look, that hurt more than his Senbon Zakura slicing his own heart. Now he was really mad at himself for taking out more anger on Renji. He felt so ashamed of himself. Before anyone could say anything he had flash stepped out of there. The ebony haired man was gone.

Renji was in shock. He had no idea what just happened, and yet he felt so guilty. "Don't take it personally right now Renji, your caption is dealing with something he has never felt before and therefore doesn't know how to feel. It's something we all realize sooner or later when stuck in a place of mostly men. On other news, we have agreed for me to barrow you. So here's what's going down." As Ukitake was talking to Renji his head was to involved with what had just happened. His heart had never felt as unsure as it did now. He thought to himself, maybe he has found out that I like him. That's it! That's what Ukitake is talking about, but how does Byakuya feel? Now he's mad at me. What did I say in my sleep? "So do you have any questions Renji?" "Ummm, I'm sorry I wasn't really paying attention." Renji said with his hand on the back of his neck. "That's ok, I s'pose you'll do fine. Beside if you need any help…you always have Byakuya!"
