Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Romeo and Juliet in any way, shape or form. Also, I apologize for the long wait on all of my stories. I am moving soon, so I've been busy. But I will continue to write! My chapters will just come out a bit late...
Chapter 2 Casting
I looked up and blinked when I saw Yuzuki standing on a soap box in the middle of the room, trying to get everyone's attention. I sweat dropped from my spot in between my Lieutenant, Rangikou, and Toshiro. He looked about ready to blow. In fact, he had a nicely sized pressure point on his forehead. Finally, Renji got annoyed.
"Everyone, shut the hell up!" He yelled from his spot beside my brother, who just stood calmly with a blank stare Everyone else jumped and looked up with wide eyes, while Byakuya, Toshiro, Yuzuki, and I remained the same. I saw Yuzuki smirk and silently tell Renji 'thank you'
"Okay, okay… everyone listen! I am about to read off the parts you people will play!" Yuzuki smiled wildly, everybody else groaned and some cussed out of annoyance and not really wanting to be there. Yuzuki smiled, ignoring all the groans and curses as if she were deaf or something.
"Right then, here we go!" Yuzuki said, a long old fashion list appearing in her hands and she whipped out a pair of glasses, placing them on her nose to read. "Romeo will be played by Hoshi, while Juliet will be 'Lil Shiro—"
"It's Captain Hitsugaya!" Toshiro snapped angrily, making me smile slightly as Rangikou raised an eyebrow at our short captain's temper. I'm just glad that I was able to hold off his murderous tendencies yesterday, otherwise we'd be minus a director…
Yuzuki paid no attention to us and continued as if no one had said anything. "The crazy ass nurse will be Isane, Lord Capulet is Captain Komamura, Lady Capulet would be Mayuri, and Tybalt is Renji." She sent a smirk at her seething lieutenant for a reason that I'll have to ask her about later, but continued none the less.
"Kenny is Friar Laurence, Mercutio is Ikkaku, and Rangikou will play Prince Escalus. Soifon will play Paris and Izuru is Peter. Benvolio will be pretty boy Yumichika and Abram is Ukitake. Old man Yammamoto will be Balthazar and Kyoraku will be Friar John. The Apothecary will be played by little Hanataro Yamada and Yachiru will be the Watchman. Gin is Lord Montague and Captain Unahana is Lady Montague. Hisagi will be Gregory, Nanoa is Sampson, Nemu is Anthony, and Aizen is Potpan. Uh…Tosen's a Capulet Servant, Kiyone is Paris's Page, and Sentaro is Mercutio's Page. The non important characters will be played by Momo and the rest of the soul reapers here; I will be the director…"
She then trailed off slightly as she walked over to stand by her captain and placed a hand on her arm, pushing up the glasses that she was wearing slightly, "…and Byakuya here…will be the Chorus."
Everyone just stared at her in confusion except for me, Yumichika, and Toshiro. Yumichika knew what that was because he was the one who suggested this damn play in the first place and Toshiro and I had already skimmed through the play.
"It's the narrator." She said bluntly and everyone nodded in comprehension, making me sweat drop slightly. "Anyways, even though Byakuya's the narrator, he's also…a cat/fairy hybrid!" She grinned and there were multiple squeals from the crowd of soul reapers that were to play the non important parts, most of them being girls. "Oh, shut up, already!" Yuzuki yelled with an eye roll and they all slowly quieted down again.
Everyone just stared at her in shock at their parts unless you were me and Toshiro. I was actually holding back my laughter. I had no idea that Yuzuki was gonna make my brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, dress up as a cat/fairy hybrid and actually go out in front of people. You never see him without wearing his usual noble clothing, so it'll be a rare sight to see. I mean, I see it all the time, considering that I live with him, but it's still rare.
To make it simple to those who were wondering in the slightest… you could hear crickets in the background. It was just so fuckin' quiet… I hate it when it was quiet, unless I had a really bad headache or something. I have to have some sort of noise going on or I can't function correctly. I always annoy Toshiro when I'm doing paperwork in the office and I end up tapping my brush to an imaginary beat that I just so randomly come up with.
Finally, somebody spoke up.
"What the fuck do you mean I'm a priest!" Kenpachi growled at his sister. I was currently hiding my face to cover up the laughter. I saw Yuzuki smirk at her brother evilly before he launched himself at her. Yuzuki then used flash step to get away from him, appearing behind me for shelter.
"Hide me…" She whispered with big teary eyes. I just rolled my eyes and then looked down to see that she was still holding that weird scroll thingy. I raised an eyebrow and looked down noticing that the lower half of the scroll was empty.
"Uhh… Why do you have an old fashion scroll it's half way empty…?" I asked Yuzuki, she just smiled a goofy smile.
"I wanted to feel special!" Yuzuki chirped.
"Okay… and who's glasses do you have?" I asked looking at her glasses; they looked strangely familiar…
"Nobodies…" Yuzuki said slowly, shifting the glasses a bit. That kind of looked… like a Nanoa move. Wait a minute…
"Those are Nanoa's aren't they?" I asked, frowning at my friend.
"Maybe…" She said looking to the side slyly. At that moment a dark aurora fell over us, making both me and Yuzuki shiver a bit before turning around.
"Oh, uhhh, hi… Nanoa…" Yuzuki said, sweat rolling down her face. "It, uhhh, was Hoshi's idea!" Yuzuki said giving me the glasses. Next thing I know, the only thing left in her spot was a cloud of dusk.
"Heheh…" I said laughing nervously handing Nanoa her glasses. "I didn't do it." I told her simply and she sighed, putting her glasses in the proper place before she turned and stalked off, trusty huge ass book under her arm as usual.
"Okay!" Yuzuki grinned from her spot on the soap box, which had suddenly reappeared. "Everyone that has a speaking part, which is everyone that I called except for Momo and the other unimportant characters, come get a script and go home to study them!"
I walked down the halls in my division, trying to memorize my lines. I was looking down at a script in my hands, folded to the page I was currently on and I was heading towards Toshiro's office because he wanted me to deliver something to Squad 6. Eh, gives me an excuse to visit Yuzuki… I got bored, so I started to read out loud to see how many weird looks I get as I walk past the people. So far, I've gotten three.
"But soft! What light through yonder winder breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou her maid art far more fair than she." I read softly before I stopped at Toshiro's office door and scoffed. "Man, this Romeo dude's a big sap." I said with an eye roll before I walked into Toshiro's office. I had gotten twenty weird looks in total, just by reading that out loud… Weird, much? "Hey, Toshiro." I greeted my white haired captain from behind the large stack of paperwork.
He didn't even look up. "Why're you talking to yourself this time?" He asked me as I walked over to stand beside his desk and I could see him better. He was reading over a paper.
"Oh, I was practicing my lines and apparently, my character's really sappy." I said with a nod of my head before I smirked and crossed my arms on the desk, leaning towards him slightly. "Have you been practicing, Captain?"
He sighed as he looked up at me. "Wherefore art thou, Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet." He said with no emotion, looking into my eyes. I smirked slightly.
"Well, you've gotten further than me at least. Anyways, you do realize we have to kiss, right?" I said cautiously, just as he had picked up his pen.
SNAP!
Well, there goes another pen. I raised an eyebrow at Toshiro as he twitched his left eyebrow and turned his head away from me, holding a manila folder out to me.
"Just take that to Kuchiki and come back here to do your 3rd seat paperwork!" He ordered and I giggled as I caught sight of a raging blush on his face. I just took the folder and placed it over my script in my hands before I skipped out of the room happily.
'Heheh, I managed to make him blush!' I grinned at my own thoughts with my eyes closed as I flash stepped to the sixth squad division to deliver the papers to my brother.
Author's Note: Eh, yes it's short, but I did my best, damn it! Honestly, I haven't really been writing very much in any of my stories because of my moving. That's why a lot of my stories are short right now. Anyways, REVIEW PLEASE! They are my life's blood and I'm kinda running low in that department... You people are killing me!
