Dressed Pretty and Late for Lunch

Rangiku changed into a short, yellow dress with many flowers and a pair of flats. Toushirou didn't change, just slipping into his tennis shoes and was out the door with Rangiku. Before he closed the door, he looked in front of him and looked at Rangiku, they in front of her. "Where's Shimowa and Kuchiki-taichou?" Rangiku shrugged, tossing her hair over her shoulder. Toushirou sighed, opening the door, stepping in quietly. "Shimowa! Kuchiki-taichou!" Toushirou called, hands in his pockets, growing irritated. His sister made friends easy, with the not-so-easy people. Byakuya exited his room with a black jacket over his white shirt and tie, with Shimowa tying her hair up.

"Mhmm, Toushirou I'm gonna walk back to my house to grab my jacket. We'll be there in a bit." Shimowa said with a wink, putting on her stilettos. Toushirou looked at his sister and then at Byakuya who had an unreadable emotion on his face. "What do you mean by 'we'?" He asked it as a rhetorical question, arching a single eyebrow at his sister. She just smiled at him walking out the door with Byakuya standing next to her. "Wait. Onee-chan." Toushirou knew his sister too well; she only answered to 'onee-chan', she only called him 'itouto' or 'tou-tou', and she only treated him like he was still five. He hated it.

"Mhmm?" Another thing Toushirou didn't like about his sister was that her only response to everything he asked was 'mhmm?' He narrowed his eyes touchily, crossing his arms.

"You're not going to your house by yourself are you?"

"Mhmm, no. Kuchiki-taichou is coming with me." She said looking up at the the solemn captain who had his hands in his pockets. Toushirou looked at Byakuya, then at Shimowa, then gaped at Byakuya.

"Shimowa! I-I mean Onee-chan! You're old enough to take care of yourself!"

"Mhmm, yeah I know that. But I'm a lady, and I need a man there." Shimowa finished, brushing a stray white hair out of her face. Toushirou furrowed his brow, then wrinkled his forehead, finishing with an exasperated sigh. "Fine. Fine! Just be there in ten minutes." Shimowa nodded, following Byakuya out the door. Toushirou scowled, leaving the house with a click.

"Toushirou. It's been half an hour. Where the hell is Byakuya and whatever your sister's name is?" Ichigo asked angrily, standing in the middle of a long line. Rukia wanted to go somewhere nice, and the only place she thought of was the most expensive place in town.

"That is Hitsugaya-taichou to you, and I don't know where Shimowa and Kuchiki-taichou are." Toushirou replied, lowering his eyebrows at Ichigo, who sighed sourly. The line was long, and everything was silent. "I wonder where nii-san is..."

"Has Tou-tou always been like that?" Shimowa asked, putting on the bleach white jacket that matched her hair. Byakuya sat in the black couch and looked around Shimowa's abode. Everything was black and white. The only color that appeared in the room was the red lipstick and pink lip gloss. A lot of red lipstick and pink lip gloss. He was a nice man, he really was, but all this black and white wasn't fit for her.

"Yes. I suppose he has. Was he different as a child?" Shimowa smiled, buttoning the last three buttons, picking up the red lipstick. "Mhmm, no not really. I never really saw him when he was a kid. Too bad too, I could've made him a bit more happy." Byakuya looked at her with a calm, blank, and very hard to decipher expression. His own sister hadn't spent time with her brother? "What do you mean?" Shimowa shrugged, applying the red to her pale lips. She popped her lips at the mirror, smiling at different angles before answering.

"Well, my dream was to be a shinigami, but our obaa-chan said I wouldn't make it. So I just left to train, but really I got tired and just stayed at my friends' home for a bit. I might be lazy, but I made it, didn't I?" Shimowa said, motioning Byakuya to come along. He stood up and followed Shimowa out the door, down the street, and crossed as he thought in depth. Who had knew Toushirou had an older sister that was so unlike him. What Toushirou saw bad in her was nonsense. She was a nice woman, very well-rounded and she had a visible reaitsu. As they walked down the street, Shimowa grabbed Byakuya's hand as they walked across the sidewalk. He looked down at her pale hand taking his own. She had a content smile on her face, and as they walked down the street, he didn't object.

"Where was that place?" Shimowa asked looking around the crowded streets. Byakuya kept quiet, looking at the pavement ahead of them. All of a sudden, their Soul Phones rung. Shimowa pulled out hers, a light feather hanging by a thread. "Mhmm, not that far from here." She said snapping it shut, thrusting it back into her jacket pocket. As Byakuya began to pull out his Soul Candy dispenser, Shimowa shook her head, popping on of the Soul Candies in her mouth. "You're a captain; this is a small hollow. No need to hop back in and out." Shimowa said, skipping away from him. She did have a point. He took her body, that clung to him like he was a doll, and followed Shimowa's feathery trail down the busy street.

As she hopped from tree top to tree top, everything was quiet, all the people very oblivious to the upcoming scene. As she stood on a lamppost, a jigokuchou flew towards Shimowa, who pointed a finger out for it to land. "Hey there little buddy. Where's the hollow?" Shimowa asked, a hollow's scream rippling the calm atmosphere. "Oh there it is! Fly! Fly away!" Shimowa said, waving her hand at the flying jigokuchou. Only a few looked up at the small hollow coming their way, they all screamed and ran the opposite direction. Unsheathing Howaitonīdoru, Shimowa shifted her weight as the hollow came towards her.

Howaitonīdoru's hilt was a very worn out shade of black with white circles running down the middle. At the end of the hilt was a small silver loop that held a thin silver chain with a short, white tassel ending with three equal sized feathers. A small, crystal bell hung at the tips of the feathers. It didn't ring as she sliced the arm of the small hollow and it didn't ring when she sliced once more, but it did ring, when the hollow disappeared in the late day.

Shimowa jumped from the lamppost and straight into her gigai, the Soul Candy appeared on the palm of her hand. "Alright, let's get going!"

"Where the hell were you two?" Ichigo hollered at Shimowa and Byakuya as they walked up to the group. Shimowa smiled, waving her finger in front of Ichigo's nose, "Mhmm! Duty called!" She said touching his nose slightly. Ichigo slapped her hand away gently, an angered look on his face. "Well we were waiting here for so long, we thought you weren't coming so we left. And as you guys were walking down the street, we decided we are not getting back in that long ass line!" He continued in a loud, angry yell, rousing attention. Shimowa 'shushed' him, furrowing her brow.

"Ichigo, was it? You've got to keep your voice down, man, you're gatherin' attention!" Shimowa hissed playfully. Ichigo's eyes twitched in frustration. Shimowa pulled out a baby blue wallet, peering into it as she opened it. "How 'bout I buy you guys pizza?" Shimowa finally asked after she finished counting the money in the lettered wallet. Ichigo, Rukia, Rangiku and Toushirou looked at her puzzlingly. They looked at each other, then at Shimowa, then once more at each other, and a they turned their gaze to Byakuya, he and Shimowa were already walking ahead of them.

Ichigo cursed, Rukia scolded him, Toushirou sighed as he walked, and Rangiku called for all of them to follow. They all went to a pizza shop not that far from where they were originally eat, and it wasn't as packed as they expected. They ordered three pizza's; one all vegetables, one all meat, and the last one with a mix of very uncommon toppings. Shimowa paid the expensive bill, emptying her wallet. They left the almost happy and content, while only one person was sad.

"How will I pay my rent now?" Shimowa asked rhetorically, getting a pat on the back from Rangiku. Toushirou rolled his eyes, before they widened at what Rangiku proposed. "How about you stay with Inoue and us?" Toushirou hit Rangiku in the head, who reacted by pouting at him. "What?" She asked, rubbing her head gingerly.

"I don't want my sister staying with us! First Kuchiki-taichou's here, and now Shimowa? What are you thinking?" Toushirou snarled at his fukutaichou, who just rolled her eyes. "What's the worst that can happen?"

"Mhmm, well I need my laptop, my clothes, my toothbrush, my... oh my! And my eighteen pairs of shoes. Alright Tou-tou, get my luggage and my laptop. Please." Shimowa asked sweetly, ruffling Toushirou's white hair, who groaned picking up the three luggage and the black laptop case. He walked past Rangiku, who admired the black and white decor, hissing, "I blame this on you." Rangiku just smiled and patted him on the back as he went out the front door. "Good job, Taichou, I knew you could do it."

Rukia and Ichigo didn't want to help with this so they had left, leaving Toushirou, Rangiku, and Byakuya to the dirty work. Byakuya carried six pairs, Rangiku carried six, and Shimowa carried the last six. She also carried a small bag that contain, ahem, her private things and her toothbrush. The walk wasn't that far, and as they settled in Orihime's home, she wasn't phased at all. "Another visitor? That's great! I hope she likes my cooking!" Everyone looked disgusted at Shimowa, hoping that she would catch the hint. She did, and with a witty wink, everyone loosened up.

Shimowa was the type of person that liked to sleep in every room on every other day. She had girl talk with Rangiku out in the living room; they talked about a silver-haired, fox-faced, bastard that had stolen Rangiku's heart and Shimowa wanted to meet him.

"Ha! I don't think you would want to meet him! That fox-faced fucker left not so long ago!" She said angrily. It took Shimowa not that long to realize that Rangiku drank a lot more than the average person. They talked about the oddest things, from why Shimowa's hair was white to Rangiku's username to that mysterious 'fox-faced' man when Rangiku just fell asleep on the couch. Shimowa muttered somethings to herself before laying her head gently on the pillow that laid on the floor.

She and Orihime had great talk when they slept in Orihime's room. They talked about Ichigo and leeks, and Ichigo some more then Rukia then they just told a few jokes and laughed about it.

"Ichigo seems like a nice guy." Shimowa said to Orihime as she checked her email once more. The laptop she held was white and the case was black. Orihime smiled, nodding her head as she held a book in her hand. "He is! Ichigo-kun is really sweet! And he's really strong!" Orihime went on for hours, and Shimowa was beginning to get bored. "Mhmm, that's great Inoue, but I got to get to bed. G'night." Shimowa said, closing her laptop. Orihime nodded sweetly, agreeing as she put the book down on the bedside table.

When Shimowa slept with her little brother, it was very quiet and awkward. For him. Shimowa wore a very short, long-sleeved shirt that stopped midway up her thighs, and Toushirou wasn't very used to seeing his sister like that. They didn't talk at all; the only communication was screaming at each other. They both wanted to use the Shimowa's laptop because Byakuya had been using the computer.

"Give me my laptop you little white-haired demon!"

"No! I want to use it!"

"Well we all want things!"

"Fine! I have to use it!"

"We all have wait, that doesn't-"

"Give the laptop to me!" And when they finally settled down, Shimowa locked her laptop in closet, sleeping with her back up against it.

The last room Shimowa had to sleep in was Byakuya's. When she stepped into his room wearing just a long t-shirt, it became very awkward. She didn't seem to notice the awkward, but when she decided to skip to his bed, the loose t-shirt bounced up revealing her whiter-than-her-skin panties, everything was all a more awkward.

"What are you doing in my room?" He asked politely, watching Shimowa sit down next to him with her laptop in her pale hands. "Mhmm, I'm gonna sleep here." He looked at her with a blank expression, watching carefully as she opened the laptop. Shimowa looked up at his blank expression, she pursed her lips. "What's wrong?" She asked, logging onto her account, and opened up the internet.

"Nothing, but don't you find it uncomfortable to sleep in a bed, together?" He finally asked, to which Shimowa shrugged. "It's only awkward when we're naked, unless you would want to make it fun." She said seductively, grinning and raising her eyebrows flirtatiously. Byakuya's blush was hard to believe, and as Shimowa peered again, it was gone.

Shimowa had to admit, Kuchiki-taichou was really hot. His personality was compelling because of the dingy, silent, morose feeling that roused whenever they talked. She loved it. Kuchiki-taichou was a doll. He was such a gentleman, and a captain. She wouldn't say she liked him, since she heard so many stories about his dead wife. Shimowa sighed, something she didn't do very often, and opened the internet. Byakuya looked at the screen then at Shimowa.

"If I use your... laptop was it? You can stay here." Byakuya muttered to her, seeing Shimowa grin. "Mhmm alright. Have fun." She said thrusting the laptop onto his lap.
