Hello ad welcome to chapter two! This ones gonna mostly be with Misaki and Ukitake and him going all "father figure" on her. This time I had my friend Elyssa help me out writing it, she is now co-author.
Disclaimer: I dont own bleach or anything related to it!
A/N: Please lemme know if I messed up with any of the Japanese terms.
Misaki sighed as she followed her captain all through the halls of her new home. She wasnt tired or anything she was just confused. She'd known Toshiro for 3 weeks now and the only time he showed any interest in her was when... but that had gone badly and he wouldnt do it again just thinking about it made her want to blush. Now he was completely ignoring her. Damn onee-sama for this, Misaki thought, getting my hopes up like that.
"Misaki-chan?" Captain Ukitake said looking back at his scowling new vice captain. He was beginning to become very attached to her. She was funny and a very brave fighter. And she always accepted the candy he would offer her.
"Hai!" Misaki said looking up at her Captain. She really liked him, he was kind and wise plus never said anything to hurt her. He helped her when she needed it. Even her Zanpaktou, Inuazuma, loved him. He was the kind of guy who wouldnt tell secrets no matter how much he wanted to.
"Is something the matter?" He asked solemnly. They had reached the squad 13 barracks and he stopped walking to face her.
Can I tell him? Misaki thought. She blushed and said: "Uh, w-well theres this one thing..."
Ukitake put his pale hands in his sleeves and smiled down at Misaki. "Its about the 10th squad captain isn't it?"
Misaki gapped at him. "Shh!" She looked around them and then leaned closer to her captain. "How'd you know?"
Ukitake laughed. A little too loud for Misaki's liking. "Well, its not very hard to figure out" He gave Misaki a knowing look "They way you two go out of your way to see each other during the day, the way you guys smile when your together, the distant look you've had lately, the-"
"Okay! Okay!" The girl shrieked cutting him off. "Do you want the whole Soul Society to know?"
"Most of everyone already does, Misaki" Ukitake told her shrugging his shoulders. Still smiling he asked "Do you want to talk about it?" Misaki nodded her head. He led her past all the division 13 corridors to his quarters. She sat on his soft couch and looked around. It was very clean but not very big. She saw pictures of family and friends on a wall and smiled.
Ukitake brought her a cup of warm tea and sat opposite of her on another couch, he motioned for her to start talking.
She cleared her throat and decide to stare at her tea cup and not at her tachiou. "Well when I-I met him he was... kinda rude... and formal, but then I made him laugh and he changed." she looked at her captain who was listening intently "We started hanging out... and at first it was good, we talked for hours, and he let me play with his hair but...then... he... well..." she finally trailed off and started playing with her half full cup.
"He what, Misaki?"
"Um..."
"You can tell me, I promise not to tell anyone"
"..."
"...He didnt...touch you...in any way did he?" Ukitake panicked.
Misaki's eyes widened and she looked up at her captain.
"Oh Misaki! I'm so sorry I wasnt there to protect you! I had no idea!" Ukitake shouted and hurried to Misaki's side and embraced her in a death hold. "I promise we'll get that little-"
"Ukitake-san!" The pink haired girl's voice was muffled by the older shinigami's robes. He released her. "Its not that! Its just he tried kissing me and Renji, Shuuhei, and Ichigo showed up and started giving him a hard time and now hes too embarrassed to try again cuz they're always making kissy faces at him now!" She squealed quickly.
"Oh, thank god! Is that it? I thought it was something serious." he place a hand over his heart, the other resting in his lap.
"What do you mean 'serious'! It is!"
"Misaki, kissing is a very special thing and you should applaud Captain Hitsugaya for trying, that was probably his first attempt" Ukitake lectured her and place a hand on her shoulder "If he really likes you, then hes going to try again. Tell me exactly what happened."
"We were sitting on the rooftop of his office, eating some of the popsicles you had gave me cuz it was hot outside. Then I looked at him and started laughing cuz he had strawberry all over his lips and it looked like lipstick" Misaki started to blush and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "He kept saying how it did not look like lipstick and asked how would I know anyway and I said cuz Rangiku-sama wears it all the time and he just looked at me for a moment..." She talked faster. "Then h-he said he thought I should tr-try some and he leaned in and I was all nervous...then they all showed up, saw us, and burst out laughing! They said they didnt know Toshi-kun had it in him and asked him if he could share some strawberry with them too."
"Toshi-kun?" Ukitake grinned at her, removing his hand from her shoulder and placing it in his sleeve. She blushed redder and shrugged.
"What?" Misaki asked self consciously.
"Nothing, nothing. I just wonder if he has a pet name for you too" Ukitake looked at her with his wise dark brown eyes which were full of humor. Misaki's uneasiness gave it away. "He does? Aw, how cute!" He pinched one of her cheeks. "What is it?"
"S-Saki-chan" She told him, though it was kind of slurred because of her tachiou's hold on her face.
Ukitake laughed "Oh, that's the sweetest little nickname ever!" He let go of her face and looked at her, his eyes suddenly serious. "But I also hope you know what your getting into. Relationships aren't always the sweetest thing ever"
"I know, Ukitake-tachiou" She smiled up at him. "But I got you to come to when its bitter"
Guess what? Reviews are welcomed! I tried keeping Ukitake in character as most as possible. Lol thanks for reading. I dont know how long this is gonna be but next chapter will be up ASAP.
