It was currently spring in the Soul Society where the cherry blossoms had opened up and the petals fell like snow to the ground. Byakuya and Renji were currently on break when…
"Good afternoon Renji-nii!" Tsuki exclaimed with delight as she came into the office. "Are you ready Byakuya?"
She had her long brown locks loose and wore a light blue kimono with a slightly darker blue sash tied around her waist. A blue ribbon was also tied around her waist, which had silver bells on the ends. She handed her husband a slightly darker blue men's kimono and smiled.
"Yes." He replied simply, standing up and receiving the kimono she handed him. "Where are Shojun and Chiasa?"
"They're with Rukia, setting things up." Tsuki answered before turning to Renji. "Here. You're coming too, Renji-nii."
She handed him a dark red men's kimono and he looked at it curiously. He asked why he was coming and Tsuki told him that her children wanted him to join the family in the picnic they had planned. He accepted the kimono, and she left for a moment so the men could change.
When the two of them were done clothing themselves, Tsuki led them to the cherry blossom tree that Shojun, Chiasa, and Rukia were waiting under. The two children greeted the red headed vice-captain happily and they all sat to have lunch. Soon after, they were relaxing and having tea. Shojun had gone off somewhere exploring and Chiasa had made a few flower garlands.
She had finished making a crown of cherry blossoms and now faced the red head next to him saying, "Uncle Renji, I made this for you."
He took a look at the garland and didn't know what to say. Scratching the back of his head, he couldn't say much. Something caught his eye and he saw Rukia giggling a little. He was going to say something when Shojun ran up to him and said,
"Hey Uncle Renji! I found something really cool! Come and see!" While he said this he tugged at the red head's sleeve and pointed in the direction of what he found.
"Well I guess…" Renji stated in response. He was about to get up when Chiasa grabbed his other sleeve.
"I had his attention first, Shojun-nii!" she said with annoyance, her grasp on his sleeve tightening. "Are you going to wear this or not, Uncle Renji?"
Renji was speechless as the two twins argued over his attention. Tsuki had become worried and made an attempt to stop the two.
"Come on. We agreed that you two wouldn't fight today…" she said.
For a moment the two of them looked over to their mother, and then gazed at their father, who was quietly sipping his tea with his eyes closed. Since he said nothing, the two of them continued to fight over Renji. Tsuki sighed and finally the red head couldn't take it anymore.
"Okay, okay! I'll wear your garland." Renji stated, slightly aggravated as he took the cherry blossom crown from Chiasa and put it on his head. He then stood and faced Shojun continuing, "And take me to this thing you found."
Chiasa wasn't truly happy about what happened as she watched Shojun guide Renji away, but was glad that the red head was wearing the garland she made for him. Tsuki let out a sigh of relief and the day went on without any other disturbances…
Just a short little ficlet for your enjoyment. This comes with a picture on deviant art (the web address for my deviant profile is on my fanfic profile). If you so desire to take a look, be my guest.
For those of you who are reading my Strong Love fanfic, I'm sorry for the spoilers! But I wanted to put this up at the same time I put it up in deviant art. Thanks for reading!
*Update* I have now used the pic on my deviant for the cover so you could see it there, but not all of it, so feel free to go to DA anyway to view it if you wish.
I do not own bleach or its characters. Shojun, Chiasa, and Tsuki however, belong to me!
