Author's Note: Alright, this being my first fanfic ever, and certainly my first "Some character x You" story, I ask of you to be gentle in your reviews (if I get any...) Something you can keep in mind is that english is not my first language, so I apologize if any words aren't correctly spelled. It's also been a long time since I last saw Bleach, so I'm just writing locations out of memory.

Anyway this is gonna be a multi-chapter story including our favourite apathetic captain, Kuchiki Byakuya and YOU. Yes, you.

Kuchiki Byakuya or any Bleach characters/locations does not belong to me. (Although I sure as hell wish they did)

All I own is my 'OC' which in this case, is you. (Cause it's hard to write a story about a character with no name, so I just gave her/you one)

The sky above Soul Society was a dull grey. Rain was falling heavily outside and the big drops were pounding against the window and it seems like even the trees were almost bending down, desperately trying to protect their leaves from the harsh treatment. There was absolutely nothing to do this day.

You, an aspiring Shinigami recently recruited into the 6th Division, let's out a loud sigh in disapprovement and glances to the other side of the half-lit room, where your Division Captain sat by a desk, filling out paperwork with an apathetic look, a single candle lighting up the papers and half of his face, creating soft shadows on the walls behind it. You sure as hell wanted to just... Scream, go poke him, 'accidentally' break something. Just anything to break the, to you, awkward silence, (which he didn't seem to be bothered by), but knowing Kuchiki Byakuya, that probably wasn't the best of ideas.

So, you instead lean the side of your face against the cool window, your dark red hair falling over your shoulders, and looking at the dark clouds outside you recall the events that lead to this most... Odd situation.

/Flashback time/

"Captain! Wait-... Wait up!", you pant as you're seriously trying your best to keep up with the man in front of you, who moves at a fast pace without no visible difficulty through the bushes and damp grass. This man being Kuchiki Byakuya, of course he ignores you, knowing that even though you're complaining, you will keep up.

The rain was pouring down, soaking both of you. Well thank god practice was over. Byakuya had really pushed you to the limit today, and you were exhausted after hours and hours "fighting" with your Captain. Normally that was not the Captains job, but you had insisted on getting more training, determined to get stronger, better. Problem was that no one had the time to train you as there was too much going on, and apparently, despite the huge bunch of guys and girls with weird swords out there, there was not enough Shinigami.

So in the beginning you tried to train yourself, but, noticed by Byakuya, it didn't go well. So after a lot of "C-captain I don't want to waste your time!" and "You have better things to do!", Byakuya pushed away all those words when he simply stated that he would train you, end of discussion.

So there you were, sparring every day outside of the city (mostly cause you had a habit of wrecking things around you). Of course you were no match for him, but indeed you got better, giving you new confidence. Although this day... time and again he had knocked you to the ground with a simple swing of his sword. Much to your growing irritation.

You would be both your arms that he would've made you practising the whole night, but thank whoever invented extremely bad weather, for it sure saved you the trouble of that. Not even a mighty Shinigami Captain likes getting soaking wet in cold rain and wind if he or she can avoid it.

So you continue to run through the damp grass, quietly growling of discomfort everytime you accidentally step into a puddle of newly created mud, making the brown soil of hell splash up over your feet and lower legs. Noticing that your Captain is even further away you make an effort to sprint, but in your eagerness you forget that mud-covered shoes and slick, damp grass doesn't go well together and with a loud thud, and a little scream you fall on your back.
"Ouch-...! God.. Dammit!", you cry out, not even bothering to hide your irritation in your voice. As you crawl back up on your feet (looking everything else than graceful), you come to face Byakuya's chest. Looking a bit puzzled you glance up and meet a pair of stern, silver eyes.

"You are having more troubles than usual this day, Calane.", he stated, glancing down at your mud-covered feet and legs. You almost felt like slapping him when you noticed that there was actually a hint of amusement in his voice. You cross your arms and looks down at the mess. Not only was your feet and legs covered in the stupid mud, but also the lower part of your shinigami robe, giving it a nice touch of brown instead of black. "Lovely", you grunt, feeling a headache growing.

Byakuya raises one eyebrow, (of course you don't notice it cause you're too busy cursing whatever god there is), then he looks to his side where dark shades of buildings were barely visible through the falling rain. "There's still a long way to go before we reach the city, you'd do best to keep up this time", and with those words he turned around and started running again, but this time, a bit slower. You curse your clumsy feet one last time before taking off after him.

Around you the weather was getting worse and a low rumble was heard across the sky, soon followed by a flash of lightning.

"Uh.. Captain! I, eh, I'm coming!", your voice almost cracks as another sound of thunder is heard and you immediately picks up the pace. Your fears were few but there was nothing that could eliminate your brave heart faster than thunder.
Byakuya couldn't possibly know this, but even if he did, you weren't really expecting any comforting words anyway, so you just had to pretend you were doing juuuuust fine.

Another loud rumble is heard across the sky and the earth under your feet almost feels like it's shaking. Although not as much as you are at this point.

Yep, you're doing just fine.

-xoxox-

Alright there you have it.
It's rather short but I don't want to make a long chapter in case no one even likes the story.

I look forward to reviews, so please tell me exactly what's on your mind.
