A/n: Hello again! Back for chapter 2 of this so-called one shot! Well I figured I'd made it a two shot for my friend, who wanted to see what happens in the world of the living with the stoic captain and obnoxious substitute soul reaper (who is going to possibly make captain in this fic, maybe later!).

Ichigo: Oh my god! Really? I get to be a captain! Yay!

Byakuya:... May god help us all...

Oh shut up Byakuya! And be nice to him. He's hyper! So onto the disclaimer and chapter! Ichigo, if you please...

Ichigo: Avenger does not in any way shape or form own bleach or any of it's characters!

Byakuya: That honor goes to Tite Kubo.

**cries** it's all true! Read and review!


Byakuya walked toward his office with the bubbly teen following him. Normally he would yell at Ichigo to sit still and walk normally, but due to a change in relationship status, he was the happiest he could be since he found Rukia and Renji in the academy. Ichigo suddenly ran into the squad 6 office "Renji! RENJI!" he yelled trying to find his red headed best friend. Renji looked up from his paper work and smiled. "Strawberry! What are you doing in soul society at 3 A.M.? Isn't your dad gonna flip? Or your sisters?" he asked giving him a tight hug. Ichigo smiled brightly. "Kon has my body! And I'm going back now. Guess what!" he exclaimed as Byakuya walked in with a smile on his face.

Renji nearly fell out of his chair. "Finally! You're a couple! Now I don't have to listen to Senbonzakura complain any more!" he exclaimed excitedly and happily. "Now it's your turn to get YOUR love!" Zabimaru popped into Renji's head. Renji yelped at the sudden intrusion and growled. "Oh yea! You love Rukia, don't you?" Ichigo and Byakuya both asked at the same time. Renji blushed a deep red. "You know, taicho, you're a lot more sober now that you have Ichigo at your side." he said, ignoring the question. Byakya felt his eye twitch. "You know Renji, I'm taking the next month off and going to the world of the living, so you will have to handle all my paper work." he said walking into his office, smiling at the horrified scream his lieutenant let loose.

Ichigo laughed and followed Byakuya after whispering, "You know that he won't be that mean." to Renji. He smiled at the scene that he saw. Byakuya, without his keisenkan in his hair, scarf half off and his hair sticking to his face. "Wow Byakuya, are you hot or something?" Ichigo asked, not realizing just how hot it was in the office. "Yes Ichigo, it is very hot in this office. Maintenance is having some troubles fixing the air conditioning. Instead they have the damn heat on full blast." Byakuya explained tiredly. He looked around the office one last time before heading back out into the foyer followed by Ichigo. "Renji? Make sure that you lock up the building at night, in case that damn Ichimaru decides he wants to play tricks again." he informed Renji before heading to the mansion, hand in hand with his teenage boyfriend.

At the mansion

"Byakuya nii-sama! I've packed your suitcases and your duffel bag!" exclaimed an excited Rukia as he and Ichigo entered the front door. Byakuya sighed shaking his head with a smile. "Thank you Rukia. Now, is the head captain aware that I am leaving?" he asked both of the teens. Ichigo smiled brightly. "Of course! He knows you will be gone for at least the next month!" he exclaimed. Rukia smiled. "Alright, now you two get your butts to the gate. Urahara is waiting!" Rukia said handing them Byakuya's bags and literally pushing them out the door.

TIME SKIP TO URAHARA'S SHOP

Ichigo and Byakuya walked through the gate and into Urahara's shop. "Kurosaki-san! Kuchiki-taicho! What a wonderful surprise to see you both!" exclaimed Urahara with his usual cheerfulness. Ichigo growled at the older man while Byakuya just stared. Urahara smiled. "Your sisters are looking for you as well as your father Ichigo, so I would suggest you get back" he said, his voice nothing but serious for once. "Oh god..." he whispered before grabbing Byakuya and all out running toward his house. "Ichigo! Slow down! We didn't get the gigai!" Byakuya was yelling while being pulled by the teen. "The gigai can wait Byakuya! Yuzu and Karin and dad are gonna have a fit!" he exclaimed, running even faster.

When Ichigo ran through the door, Isshin was standing right there waiting, eyes going wide when he saw a captain with him. "Ichigo! Where were you! And why is Captain Kuchiki here?" he burst out while his daughters ran to give their brother a hug. "Sorry Ichi-nii, we tried to keep him out of your room, but you know how he is.." she whispered in his ear, earning a smile from Ichigo. "Yea onee-san, he refused to just sit in the living room and watch television. We tried..." whispered Yuzu, tears brimming in her eyes. Ichigo gave Isshin one of the dirtiest looks he could conjure. "Why can't you act like a normal father and not worry when your 18 year old son decides to go out and do what he wants! I am 18!" he exploded

Byakuya was getting ready to intervene when Senbonzakura intruded. "Master, I would suggest not interfering. This is Ichigo's battle, and I can PROMISE you that he will win it. There is no need for you to interfere." he said in Byakuya's head. Byakuya simply groaned quietly while going to sit on the couch with Ichigo's sisters, whom he knew nothing about. "Can either of you even see me..." he asked quietly. Karin smiled brightly. "I can. Yuzu can hear you but your just a blur to her. I'm guessing that you didn't get your gigai yet?" she asked softly. Byakuya chuckled. "Urahara-san said something about you 2 and your father knowing that you weren't home, and he kind of dragged me all the way here." he explained softly to the 2 twins.

Yuzu shook her head sighing. "Onee-san tries so hard for us. He always comes home just to make sure me and Karin are happy and safe. We told him he could go and see you, just because we knew you would have to give in sooner or later." she said with a sweet smile on her face. "Was I the only one oblivious to the fact of his love?" he asked the twins, his eyes showing pure sadness. Yuzu and Karin patted his back softly. "Yes, actually. But he has you know, and he is very happy. I don't feel like I'm drowning anymore. So don't hurt him! You hear me!" Karin exclaimed with a dark timt to her eyes. Byakuya cringed and nodded quickly causing Yuzu to giggle. "Don't mind her. Out of the 3 of us, she's the 2nd strongest. SO when Ichigo is upset his riatsu is rather unbearable to her." she explained.

Ichigo walked into the living room and plopped himself into Byakuya's lap tiredly. "Hey, Bya-kun... What were you guys talking about?" he asked, his voice sounding exhausted. Byakuya smiled softly. "Oh nothing really. Your sister was just warning me not to hurt you..." he said, cringing at the memory. Ichigo laughed softly. "Believe it or not, that's her way of being nice." he said while snuggling closer into the captain's chest. Byakuya stood up with Ichigo in his arms and bowed to the twins softly. "Good night children. Hopefully tomorrow I will have my gigai so you can actually SEE me, Yuzu." he said before walking up to Ichigo's room. Once in the room, Byakuya shut the door and locked it. Without realising it, Ichigo fell asleep and was snoring quietly in Byakuya's arms. Said shinigami just smiled contently and laid down on the bed with the teen, falling asleep almost instantly.

The next morning...

Ichigo woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. His stomach chose that moment to growl loudly just as Byakuys walked into the room in him new gigai. "Good morning Ichigo, you hungry? he asked the blushing teen skeptically. Ichigo nodded and hopped out of bed. "Maybe a little..." he said shyly. Byakuya smiled softly and they walked down into the kitchen together. Yuzu smiled brightly putting the food on the table. "Good morning onee-san, Byakuya-sama!" she said happily. Both boys smiled and bowed. "Good morning Yuzu. Where's old goat face?" Ichigo asked a bit nervously. Byakuya shook his head. "He went to the soul society on a quest to find out why I am with you." he said, his voice full of sarcasm. Ichigo growled lowly. "Why can't that old fool just leave me alone..." he asked before walking to the picture of his mother. "Do you happen to know?" he asked the picture.

Karin and Yuzu looked at Ichigo strangely. "He must really be upset. He never talks to the giant picture of mom. Except when dad really pisses him off..." Yuzu said quietly. Byakuya walked into the livingroom and sat Ichigo down on the couch. "Hey, maybe you could let your hollow out when he gets back and he can have his way with the old man." he suggested to the teen, who perked up instantly. "Oh can I king? Please! I'll make him suffer for the wrongs he's done to you!" Shiro exclaimed from inside of Ichigo's head. Ichigo laughed. "Alright Shiro, you can have your way with dad when he gets home, alright?" Ichigo said and heard Shiro squeal in joy. Oh this was going to be fun.


A/n: Yay! It's finally done! Sorry it took so long to finish this one... Umm, so it turns out that I'm turning the story into chapters! Mostly because I can't seem to fit all of the events into 1 chapter. This chapter was 1498 words! Whoo! 2 words shy of 1500... Not too bad eh?

Ichigo: It's better than what you wrote the other day Avenger. At least this one takes place in the actual anime world!

Byakuya: I didn't mind the bar that we were at in "The Horrors of a Hair Cut Turned Good"...

See Ichigo, Byakuya liked it! Anyways, review please? Oh, and a special thanks to ShadowWolf XIII! If not for you, I would have never gotten this chapter finished! So thank you for all your support! And your really long review on chapter 1! ^_^
