"We. Are. Going. To. The. Beach." Rangiku growled, her eyes locked on the teal eyes of her captain.
"You can. Think of it as... A vacation. Another one. Even though majority of your working days count as a vacation." Toshiro offered.
"Alright," a spark of evil glinted behind her pale eyes. "I'll go."
"Good." the small captain huffed as his lieutenant exited the office. Why was she so desperate for him to go to the beach, anyway? All he would do was boss people around... Probably even accidentally kill someone for calling him a grade-schooler! There were no positive outcomes when Toshiro Hitsugaya went to the beach. Other than free shaved ice, of course.
"Shuuhei, Izuru!~" Rangiku called for her friends in a surprisingly chirpy voice. She stood on her tip-toes and waved at the two men running towards her.
"What is it, Rangiku?" Shuuhei asked.
"Oh, I just need you guys' help with a little something..." she trailed off, seemingly plotting something evil. "Are you two big, strong men game?"
"Uh, that look in your eye is disconcerting, Rangiku..." Izuru mumbled. "What do you have planned?"
"Hey Izuru, the woman wants help! And help she'll get," Shuuhei winked at Rangiku. "Where to?"
"Oh, just follow me!" the woman stalked off with her fellow lieutenants flanking her.
"Finally, some peace and quiet..." Toshiro sighed. He sank into his seat. "This is nice, for once."
"Captain Hitsugaya!" called a desperate voice from outside. "We need your help!"
Toshiro shot up and dashed outside. There stood Izuru and Shuuhei, both looking very frantic.
"What's wrong?" questioned the short male.
"There's an invader!" Shuuhei cried. "You're the closest captain, so we came to you right away!"
"I'll send some men to alert the Head Captain." said Toshiro.
"There's no time!" Izuru yelled. "We have to eliminate them, now!"
"Follow us, Captain!" Shuuhei ran off with Izuru following him closely. It didn't seem like the younger boy had a choice. He had to follow them.
"Here he is, just around this corner!" Shuuhei slowed down, just enough to allow Toshiro to overtake him. Once the group rounded the corner, instead of seeing an intruder, there was the Senkaimon! Toshiro dug his heels into the ground, but to no avail. The two men behind him shoved him into the portal before running in themselves. The mission was a success!
"Hi, Captain!" Rangiku waved. She was wearing a cream coloured sundress and a straw hat. She had flipflops and there was a purse swung over her shoulder.
"Rangiku..." Toshiro growled. "What is this? Explain. Now."
"It's the Realm of the Living, silly!" she giggled. "We've been here before, remember?"
"I don't mean where, I mean what." Toshiro wasn't happy at all.
"Oooohhhhh..." Rangiku placed a single finger to her plump lips. "We're going to the beach with the others!"
"Didn't we discuss this? I thought I stressed that I didn't want to go to the beach." the white-haired boy said the last words very slowly, to allow them to sink into his lieutenant's thick skull.
"Right! I may have forgotten..." Rangiku smiled.
"But didn't you say-" Izuru started. Shuuhei elbowed him in the ribs.
"Say what...?" Toshiro asked curiously.
"That doesn't matter! Come on, Ichigo and the others are waiting!" Rangiku grabbed her captain's hand and ran off. Shuuhei and Izuru ran after them.
This isn't going to be fun. At all... Toshiro used his free hand and facepalmed.
