Ame Kimura looked around with her mouth agape, she was at the Kuchiki estate because she'd heard her cat was causing Captain Kuchiki troubles. It was huge and well decorated, soft cream colors seemed to be the theme. Everything was soft and soothing Ame was waiting in a hallway, a servant had ran off

to TRY and find her cat. Ame would have never known about Tuxedo Cat being here if she hadn't over heard a man calling him a "Green eyed devil."

Ame had asked the man about it and he had described her cat in vivid detail then begged her to come over and take the horrid beast away. Ame hadn't realized that the man had meant a nobles estate. There was a plush white carpet under her feet trimmed in gold, and it ran down the very long and very large hallway. Ame turned when she heard a door open, she met the gaze of Captain Kuchiki as he walked into his home. He stopped and blinked as he noticed her.

"Why are you here?" He said in a calm voice.

Ame blinked that wasn't how people normally greeted one another, but then again this was Captain Kuchiki. "Ah... someone told me my cat was here." She said unsure of what she was supposed to do. After all she was in this man's house without his knowing it.

Byakuya blinked and looked over his house guest, he'd seen here before she was in his squad. she had a pair of eyes the color of the most piercing sapphires. Her hair was the color of sand, he wanted to bury his hands into it and kiss her deeply. Byakuya frowned at the thought. Kiss her deeply, why she isn't Hisana she's nothing like Hisana. He though irritibly. He saw his gardener walk in and he bowed when he saw his master standing there.

"Ah sir, excuse me I was just trying to return Miss. Kimura's animal to her. But I can't find the creature at all."

Byakuya looked down when something weaved between his legs suddenly. He watch as the feline rubbed against one leg before it did the same to the other.

"Tuxedo Cat you bandit stop that." The woman said. But Byakuya heard no ire in her soft voice. He watched as the cat meowed and ran for her, Byakuya watched as he jumped and she caught him letting out an "oomph" at his bulk.

Ame touched her nose to Tuxedo Cat's affectionatly as he purred to her. Ame looked up to her Captain. "Well Captain Kuchiki I could say i will make sure he never does it again, but that would be a lie considering he's very good at what he does." Byakuya nodded solemly. "Yes, that he is Miss..." He didn't know her name even though she was in his squad.

"Kimura, Ame Kimura." Ame said helpfully.

Byakuya nodded in thanks. "Well I better get going Captain, this hair ball is probably hungry." Tuxedo Cat meowed in agreement. Ame bowed respectfully before she walked out of his house to her own.

Byakuya felt a pang inside him as he watched her leave, he told himself he was glad to see that cat go.

...

Tuxedo Cat returned to Byakuya's estate many times, bringing his owner with him when she came looking. Each time Byakuya felt... emotions for Ame Kimura desires, feelings that had long ago died with Hisana. He noticed things he shouldn't, such as her smile, her laugh, and how many different kinds of socks she wore, he also noticed how dainty those feet of hers were. She wore slippers like those of Squad 2 considering the socks she wore would have been uncomfortable in the normal straw sandals. He didn't like it that he noticed these things, it felt like he was being unfaithful to Hisana so he avoided Miss Kimura like the plague. She in turn whenever she saw him would cock her head to the side and give him a look crossed between worry and wonder. And Byakuya hated her all the more for it, it was as if even with his cool outer appearance she could see the turmol he suffered from her and her damned cat. Then to make matters worse ever since Hisana had died his family had been pressuring him non-stop to remarry.

Byakuya began to dislike the cat almost as much as he did Zaraki, he made sure to lock each and every door to his home and bar all the windows he forbid his servants to let the feline in or pet it. But still Byakuya found the creature in his room at night sleeping either on his chest or hogging his pillow with its considerable bulk.

...

Ame helped her fellow Squad members sort through the files in the work room, it was a boring and time consuming job but it had to be done. She wondered if she'd displeased Captain Kuchiki, he avoided her without hiding it. Ame didn't know what to do she didn't want to be on the man's bad side, but she had no control over her cat. If Tuxedo Cat wanted to leave for a few days Ame couldn't stop him, he had an uncanny nack for getting through shut doors and windows that she had long stopped trying to understand.

"Miss. Kimura." Came the calm baritone. Ame looked up to see Captain Kuchiki standing there, looking just like the nobelman he was. Ame straightened a stack of papers before she walked over to him quickly. "Yes Captain...?" She asked hesitantly. Ame was aware of everyone's stares, they all knew Captain Kuchiki had been avoidiing her for some unknown reason.

"Follow me." He said simply before he turned and walked off quickly, Ame hurried after him. Oh shit what trouble has Tuxedo Cat gotten me into now? Ame thought fearfully. She followed Captain Kuchiki into his office, he motioned for her to sit down. He sat at his desk and stared at her levelly, Ame's eyes flicked to the side and she licked her lips nerously. Had she been looking at him she would have seen him follow the movement closely with his cool grey eyes. When she looked at him his face gave nothing away. then he spoke his calm voice seemed to loud in the empty office.

"Miss. Kimura... I would like to... have tea with you today." He said.

Ame blinked she was stunned and confused. "Um... okay?" She wasn't sure as of to how to go about this. He was her Captain but she wasn't sure of his motives, his voice had been so serious as if he was telling her to keep a million dollar secret safe. But this was also Captain Kuchiki of all people he did not have tea with woman even it was for business and he didn't date... as far as Ame knew that was.

He nodded his head solemly. "Very well shall we go to the Kuchiki Estate then." He stood up, Ame clumsily did the same her chair scraping noisily against the floor. She followed Captain Kuchiki out.

Byakuya walked ahead of the woman, he planned on spending time with her and finding faults in her. To find something about her that would set his interests off her. This way he could get her out of his mind.

KUCHIKI ESTATE

When they first arrived a servant took they're footwear and Byakuya's attention was drawn to her feet. Or more specificly her socks, one was a sock very much like a glove except for instead of on her hand it was on her foot. It was a multi-colored striped sock of, white, blue, light blue, dark, blue and black. Her other sock was a normal one only it was black with a checker rainbow on it and the heel and toe was white.

He stared at them for a good mineute knowing as a nobleman he sould be displeased with the sense of decour she was wearing. But all he felt was the need to kiss those small feet, he didn't think lowly of her for wearing socks that matched in no way, shape, or form, it made her feet all the cuter.

Byakuya frowned at the though and turned abruptly, a servant led them out to the patio near the Sakura gardens. He didn't spare the beautiful trees a glance he just wanted to hurry through this. He turned to speak to to see she wasn't there. He looked around to see her making her way to one of the trees. A look of awe on her lovely face, she hadn't even bothered with her shoes. Byakuya watched her as she reached up and touched on of the flowers that hung on a low branch. She pulled it to her face and smelled the sweet fragrance it had to offer.

His heart and stomach did flips at the sight, he watched as her blue eyes slide shut as she beheld the flower's scent. Byakuya then realized that this was a bad idea, he wasn't finding flaws to drive her away from him. He was only finding things that made him long for Ame Kimura even more.
