ok this one isn't mine, i'll admit it, but i saw it one day and fell in love with it:

roses are red, violets are blue, me no own, so you no sue!

Deception is a passive threat

Kenai cocked her head slightly and, with a voice which better fit her size and appearance, she spoke.

"I'm not going to get rid of you, am I?"

Byakuya couldn't help but crack a tiny smile. "Nope." Kenai nodded. "May I assume you will pose

me no threat?"

The stoic man considered Kenai's words. It seemed an agreeable contract to make, so long as no

threat was made to him, what need was there to show force? "You may assume such, so long as I in

turn am given the same peacefulness." Kenai nodded. "It is agreed. Kenai led the way into the

clearing. She seated herself as was her custom, upon her knees, waiting for him to sit as well. The

man reclined against a nearby rock, and was pleased to see the child had laid her staff beside herself,

in a gesture of peace.

After a drawn out silence, Byakuya realized he was expected to speak first. "I seek a fugitive from

Soul society. She, with the help of a few outsiders, escaped upon the day of her execution." The

man's voice was as cold as always, he seemed to hold no emotions about the incident aside from a

mild anger. "Actually, she was stolen from the execution block itself." Kenai feigned surprise when

he told her what in reality she already knew. "What crime has this woman committed to warrant

execution?"

Byakuya shook his head. "Since you are no shinigami, I don't expect you to understand... she has

broken a number of our laws."

"And you believe she is here?" "Yes. I do."

Kenai shook her head gently. "If anyone were here, I would be well aware. Therefore, I can

confidently dispel your beliefs. She whom you seek is not here."

Byakuya frowned, his eyes alighting slightly now as he stood. "I thought we had an agreement...

deception is a passive form of threat." Kenai was on her feet instantaneously, staff borne ready to

defend. Just as a fight seemed inevitable, Rukia appeared between the two.
