I do not own Bleach.


~8th squad~

"WHERE IS HE!" All of the shinigami in 8th squad pressed themselves against the wall or jumped over the railing to get out of the Fukutaichou's way. Nanao was not in a good mood. She had piles of work to do, most of it her Taichou's, and said Taichou was no where to be found. Aizen had just left Seireitei and 8th had agreed to do 5th squad's paperwork until 5th squad was able to do it themselves.

She had searched most of the squad buildings after having searched all of the bars in Seireitei. Next she was going to try 13th squad. He could always be found there if he wasn't anywhere else he usually was.

Nanao huffed as she shunpoed to 13th squad. She stepped lightly onto the porch in front of Ukitake-Tauchou's barrack. She looked around, but couldn't see or sense her Taichou. Nanao sighed heavily. "Where could he be?"

"Looking for Shunsui?" Nanao nearly screamed at the white haired Taichou's entrance. "He was at his house last time I saw him." Jushiro was slightly worried about his friend, but he relaxed knowing Nanao was looking for him. He knew Shunsui would be in good hands, with a hard book in his face.

"Thank you, Ukitake-Taichou." Nanao fixed her glasses as she bowed to the man before leaving for Shunsui's house, her trusty book tucked under her arm. She had been there multiple times while she was young. She had to make sure he didn't drink himself to death after Lisa had disappeared.

She raised her hand to knock, but stopped when she heard someone moving inside the house. "Taichou?"

"I'm fine Nanao-chwan. You can go back to work." Nanao could hear the slight slur in the way he said her name. He was drinking.

Nanao opened the door and nearly fell over from the stench that hit her. 'How much can he drink in a day?' Nanao tentatively walked into the house. She made her way around piles of dishes, books, scrolls, and strange viles. 'Does he ever clean?' She continued till she found a mass of pink fabric and sake bottles. "Taichou?"

Shunsui didn't bother to lift his sakkat off his face. He wasn't drunk enough to be anything but depressed. "Nanao-chwan shouldn't have to see me like this."

"Then stop drinking so much. It's only been a day. Shouldn't you be happy that you were able to stop the execution, and that you are still a Taichou. You could have lost your position...or your life." Nanao was worried what had happened to Shunsui after she had recovered from the Soutaichou's reiatsu attack. She had feared the worse, but knew he would have gotten off easy, if Yamamoto didn't kill him.

"Aww! Nanao-chwan was worried about me!" Shunsui stood up and tried to hug Nanao, but he tripped over something. He feel back onto the futon he was laying on. "Looks like I can't get up." He smiled at Nanao like a child.

Nanao shook her head to keep herself from smiling back at him. His smile was infectious and adorable, she had a hard time resisting his smile. She stepped forward to try and help him, but her foot caught on a pile of books. "Gah!"

Shunsui wrapped his arms around her. He wasn't going to let her get hurt in his mess. "Caught you." He sounded like he was playing a game of tag. He took another step, meaning to get them out of the messy room, but found his foot slipping beneath him. His foot slipped out from under him and they both fell to the ground.

*CRACK*

*POOF*

"Are you *cough* okay?!" Nanao was worried Shunsui had broken something. She fanned her hand in front of her to stop breathing in the smoke. She couldn't feel Shunsui beneath her, just the hardwood floor. She looked around in the smoke, but couldn't see much.

"I'm okay. I think I landed on something though." Nanao frowned as she heard a feminine voice reply her.

Nanao walked towards the voice, but found she was having trouble walking in a straight line. 'Am I drunk or something?!'

"Yo! Nanao-chan! Where are you, lovely Nanao-chan?" Nanao didn't know what to make of the voice, but Shunsui was definitely speaking.

She saw a hand waving through the smoke. She reached out and grabbed the small hand. She pulled it out of the smoke and turned back to stare at herself.

"Kya!" Nanao fell over and backed away quickly. She saw her body frown at her then open it's mouth wide.

"Well that's strange." Shunsui stared at his body as it screamed, fell over, and backed into the counter in his kitchen. "Nanao-chan?"

Nanao stared at her body. "Taichou? What did you fall on?" Nanao looked at herself. Her hands were calloused, her feet were bare, and she reeked of sake. She stood up and staggered her way to the mirror in the hall. She looked back into Shunsui's chocolate brown eyes. "This is weird. How did this happen?!" She rubbed her hand along his jaw line and the scruff that was on it. It was surprisingly soft.

Shunsui followed Nanao, his body, into the hall. He examined his hands as he walked, they were free of any scars or callouses, and soft as silk, and his face as well. "Nanao-chan has silky skin. It's so soft."

Nanao glared at Shunsui as he continued to rub her cheeks. "Stop that! Don't just feel up someone's body while you're in it!" Nanao didn't know what to do. She didn't know any kido that could help. She wasn't even sure what could cause this.

"Nanao-chan can feel my body as much as she wants." Shunsui wrapped his arms around Nanao.

"Taichou!" Nanao blushed madly as she tried to pull Shunsui off of her. "Now is not the time to be thinking like that! We need to find out how to reverse this!"

"Nanao-chan can call me Shunsui. She is in my body after all." Shunsui smiled at Nanao as he let go of her and walked to his kitchen. "Would you like some tea? It might help with the hangover later." He was wishing he hadn't drank so much now.

Nanao sighed as she followed him into the kitchen. She sat down at his counter and was surprised at how easily she could slide into one of the chairs. Then remembered, she wasn't in her own body. She was watching it go around Shunsui's kitchen making tea. She thought it was actually a nice thing to see. She had wanted to do it a few times.

Nanao quickly shook her head. "Any idea what you broke?" She wanted to get her body back before Shunsui did anything with it.

"Not a clue." Nanao sweat dropped as she stared at her body with her Taichou in it. "I don't really know what is on my floor. I just know that I have a lot of artifacts in there." Nanao could have fallen off her chair, but she didn't know if she could stand after that. She was getting sleepy.

Shunsui smiled as he saw Nanao starting to get sleepy. "Tired my lovely Nanao-chan?"

"And who's fault is that. Stop drinking so much." Nanao tried to keep her eyes open, but it wasn't working. "I'm going to bed." She got up, but her legs wouldn't support her.

"Easy there. Sorry, I drank quite a bit." Shunsui smiled as he half carried Nanao into his bedroom. 'She's surprisingly strong.' He noticed Nanao had fallen asleep and was even more surprised that he could carry his own body. 'How strong is she?'

Shunsui laid Nanao onto his bed and pulled the covers over her...him...her in his body.

"Looks like this is going to be very complicated." Shunsui smiled as he cuddle up next to Nanao. "I make a very comfy pillow." Shunsui smiled as he drifted off to sleep. 'Nanao-chan is going to be a handful in the morning. I can deal with it then.'
