Chapter 1:

Surprises

[Edit: I just went through and switched out the name for my OC in later chapters. So if you've read this or are reading this then you know now. I'll also post the edit on the chapter she's introduced.]


As usual Renji and Byakuya were in their office and working on paper work. The paper work never seemed to end. It was endless. Byakuya could sense his Fukutaichou was not paying any attention to his paper work. He looked up and saw Renji was daydreaming and staring directly at him.

"Abarai?"

Hmm… I wonder if Taichou has something on his mind. He's unusually fidgety lately.

"Abarai!" Byakuya called louder shocking Renji out of his trance.

"Ugh…" Renji shook his head trying to get his focus back. "Yes, Kuchiki Taichou?" He said as he rubbed his eyes. "Did you need something?"

"Yes actually, I would appreciate if you would focus on the paper work and stop staring at me." Byakuya regained his normal dead calm tone.

"Hai Taichou! I'm sorry, I hadn't notice." Renji apologized.

"Hmm."

I wonder why he was staring at me like that. It's not as if there is anything unusual going on. Byakuya thought.


Renji let out a relieved sigh as he signed the last report and shoved it in the out file. He looked over to his Taichou who had also, done the same a few moments later. He then saw Byakuya get up from his desk and put his file in the out box where it would be sent to Soutaichou to be looked over.

"Renji, you are dismissed for the day." Byakuya said as he softly waved his Fukutaichou off.

"A-are you sure sir? It's not after work hours yet. I can busy myself with something el-"

"Renji, you have more than earned your early leave of work today. Go have fun with your friends." Byakuya interrupted.

Renji's eyes were wide and his mouth hung open in shock. He couldn't believe what his Taichou just told him. He was wondering if he was hearing things.

"Abarai, you are not a Venus Fly Trap. Close your mouth, put your eyes back in their respective sockets and go to the bar with some of the other Fukutaichous." His Taichou said curtly as he pointed at the door.

"Ye-yes sir!" He stood up and bowed and made his way to the door. He stopped just short of frame. "Thank you Taichou… I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled and walked out.

My my… He never changes. But then again… maybe that's a good thing… The raven head smiled to himself, then turned and opened the door to his private quarters.


Mina's note: Okay, I know! I know! This chapter is short! But I'm working on the next chapter and it will be longer. I promise! Also, just so you know. I'm making this story fall into rhythm kinda slow. But I'll pick up speed as I continue writing. I hope you enjoy this so far. Review please and tell me what you think! ^_^ Love Mina!
