Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.

How he hated and dreaded summer. It existed to torture him and Hyorinmaru. Really, it did. The days were longer, his squad moved slower than ever thought possible, and his dragon became very irritable. That was nothing compared to the endless amount of people coming to the tenth squad building, claiming that they had 'jobs' there or that they were visiting friends.

Sure...

It seemed like either the tenth or sixth squad was the place to be (Rukia frequented that place during the summer) due to certain shinigami who wielded ice. Needless to say, they weren't very pleased by this, and neither was Byakuya who found it hard to concentrate when his office and surrounding area was packed with a lot of shinigami that weren't even in his squad.

His second in command even made excuses to stay in the office rather than go out drinking with her buddies. She actually did paperwork even if she was buzzed. At least, it was legible, she did it correctly for the most part. It was the only good thing that came out of this.

"Taichou," Matsumoto inquired, seeing as how the temperature was rapidly dropping. As much as she loved this coolness, she didn't want to see her taichou become... well... she didn't want him to land in the fourth division as a patient. He was spending too much reiatsu. "I think I hear Soutaichou calling for you."

Toushiro blinked a few times before he and Hyorinmaru were hastily shoved out of the office or rather unceremoniously tossed out by his fukutaicho no less. He had half a mind to storm back in there and give her a piece of his mind, but he realized she was doing him a favor by getting him out of there without him looking like he was fleeing.

Without his precious paperwork, the icy taichou had nothing else to do. He did all his errands, and his friends were probably busy with their work or trying to beat the heat.

Maybe he'd visit Ukitake.

The guy always had watermelon ice cream on hand especially during the summer.
