Recap:

"I don't know… maybe I'll go see onee-san." She replied, skipping out the door. Once she was outside, she shunpoed quickly to the barracks of Division 13. When the guards at the gate saw the tiny, black-haired girl, they quickly opened the gates. "Thank you!" Yuki called out as she walked by the gates.

Chapter 2

She didn't have to search long. The reiatsu called out to her, pulled her towards her elder sister. Yuki merely followed the pull of her instincts, and soon came across a girl with shoulder length black hair and intense violet eyes kneeling on the ground.

"Onee-san?" Yuki said. The girl whipped around quickly, something flashing in her violet eyes. Then, she visibly relaxed, beaming at the tiny girl who stood behind her.

"Yuki! Why are you here at the 13th Division Barracks?" Kuchiki Rukia asked, steering her sister towards the office of Ukitake-taicho.

"Ah? Oh, I'm just here to visit you, onee-san!" Yuki said, smiling sweetly. Rukia smiled at Yuki before knocking on the door of the office.

"I guarantee you that Ukitake-taicho will have some sweets for Hitsugaya-taicho." Rukia laughed. Sure enough, as they opened the door, Ukitake looked delighted.

"Yuki-chan! Here, I have some sweets for you to take back to Hitsugaya-taicho!" Ukitake smiled, pouring a fountain of candies and sweets into the bewildered Yuki's hands.

"Ah… Arigatou, Ukitake-taicho!" Yuki beamed at the white-haired captain. Ukitake shook his head, looking happy.

"No worries, Yuki-chan. Just make sure that you and Hitsugaya-taicho don't get too overworked!" Ukitake said, smiling cheerfully. Suddenly, a black butterfly fluttered into the room. Yuki recognized it as a hell butterfly. The soutaicho's voice emitted from the butterfly.

"Kuchiki Rukia, you are hereby summoned to the 1st division office. Please report immediately." The hell butterfly emitted. Rukia looked confused, but waved to her sister and captain, and shunpoed off to the 1st division. Yuki blinked.

"Well… Ukitake-taicho, I suppose I'll go back to 10th division. Arigatou again!" she said, smiling and shunpoed off to the 10th division. Inside, she knocked quietly on the office door, and when no one answered, she pushed open the door. Matsumoto was no longer on the couch, or anywhere in the room. Hitsugaya was still sitting at the desk, but he had fallen asleep. In sleep, he looked carefree for once; no worry lines etched onto his face, and white hair slightly falling into closed teal eyes. "Oh… he looks so much more relaxed… " Yuki whispered quietly. She knelt down to his eye level, gazing with soft eyes into his face. Those teal eyes blinked sleepily and opened, meeting wide violet eyes that looked merely curious.

"What…? Yuki!" Hitsugaya stammered. Yuki backed away.

"Hitsugaya-kun, Ukitake-taicho asked me to give these to you!" she smiled, pulling out from behind her back a bag of sweets. Hitsugaya groaned.

"Not sweets again… " he muttered, grimacing lightly at the dreaded bag. Sighing, he held out the bag to Yuki. "Do you want sweets, Yuki?" he offered, holding up the bag. Yuki's eyes lit up.

"Candy!" she beamed, looking delighted. Hitsugaya quickly pressed the bag into her hands. Yuki grinned like a little child, almost like Yachiru, the 11th squad fukutaicho, and skipped off to areas unknown, though Hitsugaya had a strong feeling that she was going to the 6th Division compound.

--

"Nii-san!" Yuki called out. Sure enough, just like Hitsugaya had suspected, she had gone to the 6th Division compound. Instead of her brother, a man with red hair tied up into a pineapple-like ponytail stepped out.

"Ah, Yuki-san. Are you looking for Kuchiki-taicho?" Abarai Renji said, looking at the tiny little girl. Yuki nodded furiously, seemingly lost for words. "He's still in the office. Seems that taicho never stops working." Was all Renji managed to get out before Yuki vanished in a blur of black. "Well… I take it that she was pretty desperate… " Renji muttered before walking out the door.

--

The office door flew open, and the busty, orange-haired woman came running in.

"TAICHOOOOOO!" she screamed, skidding to a stop in front of the now very irritated Hitsugaya Toushirou. His eyebrow twitched, and Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly felt the temperature drop by several degrees. "Uh… oh… " was all Matsumoto could say before she dashed out the door as quickly as she had come in.

"MATSUMOTOOOOOOO!" he bellowed, his voice surprisingly loud for such a small person. His eyebrow twitched in annoyance as the door blew closed, and the temperature felt like it was going to drop another 20 degrees.

--

"Nii-san?" Yuki whispered, poking her head into the office. Kuchiki Byakuya lifted his head from the paperwork he was doing at the time.

"Ah, Yuki. Are you ready to go home?" Byakuya said, looking impassively at his sister. Yuki nodded timidly.

"Are you ready, nii-san?" Yuki asked, tilting her head slightly. "I'll wait if you're not done yet." She finished, springing lightly onto the chair that was usually for people wanting to talk to the 6th Division Captain personally.

"I'm almost done. Just wait a few minutes, okay?" Byakuya said, turning his eyes back to his work. Yuki nodded soundlessly, even though Byakuya couldn't see what she was doing. After approximately 15 minutes, Byakuya stood up and pushed the chair back in.

"Time to go home, nii-san?" Yuki questioned. Byakuya nodded.

"Yes. Come, Yuki." Byakuya said, holding out one hand for the petite girl to take. Yuki slipped her small hand into his, and Byakuya shunpoed them back to the Kuchiki main household. Yuki walked sleepily into the huge room that belonged to her. Taking her white sleeping yukata from where it had been folded on her futon, she quickly changed from her Shinigami uniform to her yukata, and dashed into her brother's room. Since it was already late, he had changed into his yukata, taken off his precious scarf heirloom, and removed his kenseikan that signified the nobility of his rank as the head of the Kuchiki family. His scarf had been woven by the master weaver, Tsujishirō Kuroemon III, and was made from silver-white windflower light silk. Yuki climbed onto his lap, looking up at her brother, who suddenly seemed much less worried outside of the office.

"Nii-san… Can we train tomorrow?" Yuki pleaded with an innocent look on her face. Byakuya sighed.

"Very well. I did promise, didn't I?" Byakuya agreed, smiling faintly. Yuki nodded eagerly.

"Make sure you don't hold back, nii-san!" Yuki admonished, poking her brother playfully. Byakuya lifted an eyebrow.

"And shall I take that to mean that you also shall not hold back?" He said, looking at Yuki with amusement in his eyes. Yuki nodded again.

"Of course I won't hold back, nii-san!" she exclaimed.
