Chapter Two
For the thousandth time that week Renji was wondering what he had done in his past life to deserve this injustice, all he wanted to do was to deliver some files to Yumichika (He was the only one who actually did the squads paper work), he had completely forgotten about Yumichika 'fool-proof plan to capture his captain's heart' the interesting thing was that he hadn't actually agreed with Yumichika's methods. For one thing, trying to make his captain jealous was like trying to get the man to give Zaraki-Taichō a compliment… It was impossible!
Most importantly he didn't want to get on Ikkaku's bad side, the man was a monster when he wanted to, and while it had been long since he had seen Ikkaku pissed to the point he was giving out some pretty serious serial killer vibe, he didn't miss it nor wanted it directed at him. Flirting with Yumichika was practically the same as asking him to kill you.
Of course seeing as Yumichika NEVER did anything without an ulterior motive Renji had to ask what the other man was getting out of it, He was a shock when Yumichika claimed that he and Ikkaku weren't in fact dating like everyone thought, and even more of a shock when the effeminate man confessed that his love for his partner was one-sided. Renji's mind was blown, but not enough not to understand Yumichika's motives… He wanted to get Ikkaku to notice him… and not in a battle sense. Of course after hearing all that Renji still refused.
So now here he was, lips locked with that manipulative, cunning little bastard! If he wasn't so afraid for his life he would have punched the idiot in the gut. Unfortunately, his flight or fight instinct kicked in and he ended up dumping the files in his captain's arms and fleeing with Yumichika, without even being aware he was dragging the little shit along with him.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT." Renji roared, when they arrived at what seemed to be his sleeping quarters in squad six.
"What is what?" Yumichika asked feigning ignorance and pointedly ignoring the throbbing veins in Renji's forehead threatening to pop.
"Are you trying to get me killed?"

Byakuya could honestly say he was rarely surprised or caught off guard; after all a Kuchiki was cautious and always aware of what was happening around him. However, he really hadn't expected the Barbarian's 5th seat to throw himself at his lieutenant as well as sexually assault the said lieutenant in front of everyone. His glare was thus explainable as it was against his ethical code to allow such behavior, the sixth squad's name would not be soiled!
Of course he was snapped out of his thoughts by a sudden burst of killing intent from the Barbarian's 3rd seat; he made a mental note to look into that. Speaking of Barbarians he most definitely did NOT like the look on Zaraki's face, he knew that look; it was the one the imbecile had when something had caught his interest. Once again, he made a mental note to investigate further.
He however realized he had been staring and was brought out of his trance when his lieutenant promptly dumped the folders that were to be delivered on him and fled with the demon spawn (Yumichika) hot on his heels. Kuchiki Byakuya was a lot of things, but foolish was not one of them; thus the Noble found himself blinking repeatedly trying to process what had just happened… Kenpachi's maniacal laughter definitely wasn't helping.

By noon everyone one in Seireitei had heard of the 'incident' that had occurred in squad 11 training grounds, It shouldn't have been a surprise that people were already spinning nonsensical rumors about what had happened, yet Renji couldn't stop the overwhelming need to punch someone in the face when he heard the crap they had come up with. Did people really believe he and Yumichika were secret lovers, having an affair behind Ikkaku's back? Did they really think he was so stupid and suicidal as to touch what belonged to Ikkaku, even if in reality the two weren't really dating?
If that wasn't bad enough Renji was seconds away from asking Zabimaru to kill him when Rukia marched up to his office and punched him in the face for being a two-timing bastard? WHAT THE HELL IS HER PROBLEM ANYWAY? She had then proceeded to colorfully threaten him to an inch of his life to break things off with Yumichika, his explanation that it was solely the little bastard's fault fell on deaf ears when the little bastard in question twirled into his office and hugged him tightly… In front of Rukia, his squad officers and for some godforsaken reason, Matsumoto! What the busty lieutenant was doing in his office he had no idea, how and when she got in he didn't know but he was sure of one thing; Matsumoto couldn't keep a secret to save her life and he was now indefinitely screwed!
