Disclaimer: [I forgot to put this on my first fanfic, so I apologize.] I do not own Bleach and all its components. ^_^

Author's Note: Not my first fanfic but the second one. Lol. But this is the first story that I will make into a series, unlike my first which is a one-shot fanfic. Soi Fon is my most favorite Bleach character. I like her because of her personality and of course her powers. I also like Byakuya. Well because he is so attractive. Lol. The two for me are perfect. So why not pair them? Besides, in my eyes, the two would really make a very good pair because they are both good-looking. Lol. And for me, they are the other one of my favorite love team on Bleach, the other being IchiHime. The story took place before the infiltration of the captains to HM. Hope my story about them will interest you. ByaSoi fever starts right now. Enjoy reading and don't forget to write reviews. Thanks everyone. ^_^

Byakuya and Soi Fon: Yeah. We are the ones who bumped into each other sooooo rarely.

FIRST ENCOUNTER – AT FIRST SQUAD HQ

It is just another day for the 13 Protection Squad captains to meet at the First Squad Headquarter. Recently, continuous meetings are being held. Well, because there's a need for abrupt preparations for the casualties in Hueco Mundo and also the Winter War against Aizen. Numerous plans are being laid and decided. But after a week of assembly, no clear idea was proposed and adopted. That's why it seems that the meeting wouldn't end. Good thing, there were two distinct captains resolved to stand out on today's meeting to introduce the plans they've formulated. The first to talk was the captain of the Sixth Division, the famous and wealthy, not to mention the handsome Byakuya Kuchiki. Right after the Call to Order by the first division captain and the Commander in Chief of the 13 Protection Squad, Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto, Byakuya rapidly positioned himself on the center, facing directly the Commander in Chief. The other captains were actually surprised on that move. But waits on what he will try to say. Near the Commander's throne, there's one captain who actually got annoyed on what he had done. She's the second division captain, the fierce Soi Fon. She was also the Commander of the Punishment Force. Crap. He got first. She thought angrily. In fact, she wanted to be the one to promote the plan seemed suitable for the preparation they need. She already had a foot ahead of her place that signifies she wanted to walk towards the center to speak. Unfortunately, she was defeated by a split second by Byakuya. Anyway, she brought her right foot back. She'll try to listen as well. But there's no sign of agreement on whatever he will say because her fists were clenched. Byakuya, in fact was aware of Soi Fon's reaction on his abruptness. Since she was close to the Commander's chair, she is quite conspicuous in Byakuya's perspective. He laughed seeing Soi Fon's irritated reaction. Sorry. Mine's better. He reflected. Soi Fon's surprisingly, noticed the insulting smile of Byakuya for grabbing the spotlight. Soi Fon's raised an eyebrow and gave an evil grin. Byakuya just winked at her. Not foreseeing such response against her, she blushed, and then she looked away. Now I am so annoyed. Just you wait Kuchiki. She whispered. And her fists tightened. Byakuya decided to start. He cleared his throat first. Then sighed. He greeted everyone present in the room. Then he grasped his haori, trying to open it as if he would get something inside it. But there's someone misinterpreted it.

"Are you going to strip?" Someone asked. He sounded so excited. It was the eight squad commander, the naughty Shunsui Kyoraku. Everyone was startled. Even the still angry Soi Fon. Yamamoto coughed to silence the crowd. Byakuya was clueless on what he was talking about.

"What?!" he asked him. Then he managed to pull out a piece of paper. And everyone realized that he doesn't try to undress himself.

"Ah. I see, you are trying to pick something inside. I thought it was different." Then he laughed. Everyone looked at him disappointingly. He scratches his head due to embarrassment.

"Anyway." Byakuya started. He straightened his haori for the frizzed result of getting the paper. "I prepared a plan to settle the issues at Hueco Mundo. I planned of sending some of our captain to deal with some if not all of the Arrancars. By dealing with them, it will gradually decrease Aizen's cronies that will somehow weaken his army. And by weakening his army, we won't be having such hard time to deal with him on Winter War." Everyone nodded on his statements. Commander Yamamoto was expressionless. Anyhow, he wanted him to continue. But Soi Fon was not easily pleased by it. She wanted to inquire something. Before she could say anything, Byakuya continued.

"Captains that would be sent to Hueco Mundo will be accompanied by their Vice Captains. An extensive preparation and training though is still needed before heading to Hueco Mundo." Byakuya noticed that Soi Fon was a bit confused. "I'd like to finally mention captains' name that I wanted to be sent on Hueco Mundo." He said. Everyone was a little bit queasy on that idea. Most especially Soi Fon. He was being watched grimly by her. What? What's wrong with it? He asked himself. Soi Fon suddenly step forward to say something. Commander Yamamoto and other captains glanced at her. Let's see what you going to say. Byakuya murmured. Soi Fon looked at him. Hear this you bastard. She as well murmured to herself.

"I want to voice out my own plan. I have a better one." She said concretely. Everyone was surprised. Commander Yamamoto looked away, still expressionless. The other captains were stunned by her sudden proposal. Byakuya, who sensed that she was trying to steal the floor, opposed calmly.

"I'm sorry but I was the one who was speaking here in front of everyone. I've the sole right here. You can't just interrupt someone." Then he smiled.

"It is very obvious, Kuchiki, that your plan is very detrimental." She stressed.

"And why is that?"

"Well, it's full of flaws."

"Can you identify such flaws? How can you say such when I am not yet finished?" Sound angry but his face is so calm.

She sneered. "You can't just dispatch our captains to the problems we don't have concern with? Those ryoka who started the trouble should be the one to settle the problem they are facing. Why waste our captain's energy to help them? It may be better if we should be focusing on the battle ahead of us than sticking our asses to other's business." She protested. The room was filled with 'Ooohs' by the guys when she said those oppressing words.

Before Byakuya could defend himself and his plan, Soi Fon sustained. "What's more, you can't just decide for yourself who should go or not. What if the one you chose doesn't want to participate? Who would you replace? What if the person you plan to replace for disagrees as well? Isn't it better if we by, ourselves should decide on that matter, rather than being autocratic? Ha, Kuchiki?"

"If you are listening to what I said earlier, I don't intend to send our captains to help them. I plan on decreasing the Arrancar's populace. So we could somehow weaken them. That's one of the basic measures we could do." He smiled at her, feeling confident that he has the best plan ever. Soi Fon was again annoyed by it. She looked away, biting her lips in irritation.

"As for the selection of captains, yes I might be wrong to determine it on my own. But I am open for any opposition. I am not that insensitive to not notice that possibility." He said arrogantly. Soi Fon was speechless. Where's you fierceness, Nibantai Taichou? Say something? Lost for words? Byakuya boasted.

You are going to pay for this embarrassment, Kuchiki. She faced him, looking pleased. "Okay…If that's the case, who would you suggest then to go there?" Let's see your prospects. If my name will be there, you're as good as a dead meat. She thought. Then she returned to her position before stepping in the scene.

"Now that you asked for it, I'll announced who will be part of my list." He opened the piece of paper he held. The captains gulped in awaiting the names to be mentioned. Don't you dare mentioned my name, she whispered angrily. Don't you dare, Kuchiki.

Byakuya cleared his throat again for the announcement. "I want to retain the majority here in Soul Society to deal with the plan for Winter Wars since we're insufficient. I decided to take with me…" Everyone was shocked when he regarded himself. "Yes, I'll go as well…" he assured. "I'd like to take with me three captains. I thought that four captains to deal in Hueco Mundo is enough. And these are…" Drums rolled in everyone's thoughts. "…Eleventh Squad Captain Zaraki Kenpachi." Kenpachi grinned upon calling his name. "I am so excited. Hahaha." He growled. They looked at him contrarily. Byakuya continued. "Fourth Squad Captain Retsu Unohana." She merely smiled when her name was mentioned. "..And…" he paused for a moment. He supposed to be mentioning Twelth Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi's name; that's what have been written in his paper. But he plans on fooling someone, so he folded the paper and return it inside his haori. Then he resumed. "…Second Squad Captain Soi Fon." He finally said. He looked at her for the reaction. She was horrendously stunned. She was motionless, her eyes fixed on nowhere. Everyone looked at her, expecting some violet reaction. But she didn't. they looked back at Byakuya. "So, any opposition?" to each other's surprise, no one dared to oppose. Even Soi Fon, but actually, she is still on an immovable stature. "Since no one opposed me, that means all conceded. My headquarters is open for furtherance." He finished.

"Very well, Kuchiki-taichou." Commander Yamamoto suddenly spoke. "I'll leave you the plan for Hueco Mundo. Though, inform me about the progress."

"Yes, Commander."

"Meeting adjourned." Then Commander Yamamoto knocked the tip of his crane onto the floor for ending the meeting. That's the time Soi Fon was snapped out of her stunned reaction. She looked around. Everybody left. Where's everybody? Wow, they left in an instant?! Son of a beach! She hurried outside and plans on hunting Byakuya.

"So, that's how you want to play a game? Let's see what you got Kuchiki. I'll definitely going to kill you." While walking outside, she didn't notice that she was releasing her reiatsu. It was unstable. That's why, the shinigamis on her way became destabilize and dizzy for failing to deal with her power. She wanted to reach his manor fast so she decided to use her expertise, flash steps. In a second, she reached his manor. "Now where are you, my little stinky, irritating cherry blossom?"
