Just something I thought up while at work today. It may seem a bit out of character, but I hope it's not too bad.
Also, I decided to delete my other story, because I kinda lost interest, and I'm really not good with long plots. Sorry! :(
Anyways, please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I, of course, do not own Bleach. :(

Oh how childish

"Matsumoto, I really don't need to go to the fourth. This will clear up in a few days." The white haired captain groaned as his busty lieutenant pushed him to the fourth division clinic.
"You said that a week ago when you got that wound. It's infected, and it needs to be looked at."
"You haven't been to the clinic for your so called allergies. Why should I go?"
"Your acting like a child, Taicho. It won't take long."
"But someone has to do the paperwork! It won't do itself, you know." He huffed.
"Taicho, if you keep complaining, I will give you a bear hug until you pass out and then I'll carry you to the fourth like a sack of potatoes."
"Is that a small joke? Don't tempt me, Matsumoto, I WILL freeze your sake!"
"Ooooh! A sake pop!"
"UGH!!! I give up!" That woman could be insufferable sometimes! I swear she will be doing so much paperwork, her hand will fall OFF!
They entered the clinic in silence, Hitsugaya still fuming, and Matsumoto imagining a sake popsicle.
"Hitsugaya-taicho? Matsumoto-fukutaicho? How can I help you?" Isane asked them, her hands full of bandages and ointment.
"Taicho needs to be treated for an injury he received a week ago while on assignment in the real world. A hollow cut his arm and I think it's infected now." She dutifully raised his left arm and pulled down his sleeve, revealing a long gash reaching from his shoulder to his elbow. The skin surrounding it was red and purple, while the cut itself was yellowish. "Eeew Taicho, it looks more and more gross every time I look at it!"
"That is a bad infection! Go ahead into room 3. I'll be there shortly. I'll also get something for you, Matsumoto-fukutaicho, for your allergies."
"How'd you know I had allergies?" She looked at her eyes wide with shock.
"It's my job, silly! And it's the middle of summer. You aren't the first shinigami I've seen with an allergy to pollen. Anyway, go into room 3, I have to give these to Unohana-taicho real quick."
"Thank you!" Rangiku lead the still unhappy captain to the room. They each took one of the two beds. "See, this isn't so scary, is it?"
"I never said I was scared! I'm just too busy to be here is all." He retorted. Turning away, he crossed his arms dramatically.
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." She giggled and laid down onto the bed. She scrunched up her nose at the sterile smell. "I'm so happy our division doesn't smell like this. I couldn't stand it."
Isane walked into the room with a medical supply bag. She set it on the chair and pulled out a small bottle of pills.
"These are for you, Matsumoto-fukutaicho. Take one every day to keep from having allergy symptoms." She set the bottle on the side tray next to Rangiku, and put a pill and a small cup of water in her hands.
"A pill? Ummm…I have a bit of a problem…uhh…" Rangiku blushed slightly.
"Hmm? What was that?"
"I sort of…can't take pills."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't take them. I can't get it to go down."
"But you can take the soul candy…"
"I can't explain it! It just won't go down my throat!"
"Just pretend to chew it and swallow it, like it's food. Or take it with food, like crackers."
"I've tried before! Nothing works." Rangiku pouted.
"Quit being childish, Matsumoto. It's just a tiny pill." Hitsugaya smirked.
"Taicho!!!" Rangiku whined.
"Well, you can chew it if you must, but it doesn't taste very well." Isane said, reaching into her bag again, this time pulling out an antiseptic wipe and a syringe full of a clear liquid. "Okay, Hitsugaya-taicho. Your turn."
"W-wait…what's that?"
"Your medicine for the infection. It's too advanced for regular antibiotics, so we'll have to inject it at the site. You're at a high risk for blood poisoning." She started walking towards him.
"B-but I feel fine, and I…uh, I see no reason why I can't just take a few pills." He got up from the bed and started backing away.
"I just told you, Taicho. The infection won't react to the pills, it's not a strong enough antibiotic." She raised an eyebrow in confusion, walking around the bed to get in front of him.
"Just cut off my arm then!" He was pressed against the wall, cornered.
"Wha?!?! Are you kidding?"
"There is no way I am agreeing to a shot!"
"There's no choice!"
"I said NO!"
"Taicho, it's just a shot, you've been stabbed before. The needle isn't going to feel anything like that." Rangiku said seriously.
"I don't care. I am not getting a shot!" Isane ripped open the packet containing the wipe, and grabbed his arm, holding it as still as she could while she quickly cleaned an area on the cut.
"Dammit, I said no!!!!!" He was trying to pull his arm loose, while unsuccessfully using his free arm to try to push hers off of him. She put the cap of the syringe between her teeth and pulled out the long shining needle. She held the needle upwards between her thumb and middle finger and used her index finger to tap it gently, then pushed out what air bubbles may have been present. The smell of the alcohol from the wipe made Hitsugaya's head spin, but he still tried to free himself. She brought the needle to his arm and before she injected him, he passed out.
"Well, I guess that makes this a bit easier." Isane sighed. She quickly gave him the shot, and carried him to bed. "You can stay here with him until he wakes up, I suppose. Who would have thought the wielder of the most powerful ice zanpakuto would have such a fear of needles?" She slumped her shoulders and let out a sigh of fatigue. She grabbed her bag of supplies and left the room, still wondering if she had maybe just imagined it all.
It was fifteen minutes later that the tenth squad captain finally awoke with a smirking face not five inches away from his own.
"What was that about being childish?"
