Byakuya's Protection Squad

Chapter 3- Yumiko's Weak Little Secret

As Byakuya was being protected by Yumiko, they have turned out to be good friends. As Byakuya's protector, Yumiko has to protect Byakuya from any harm no matter what, so she has to go wherever he goes on some days. Her and her team takes shifts; she has to protect him on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays. But even though it wasn't her day to protect him, she still had to check on her team, because of her being the leader. Honestly, Byakuya really liked having Yumiko around. He learned that although she was mature, she also had a crazy and fun side to her. He also noticed that she wasn't shy at all. Yumiko started to feel the same as well. She started to enjoy and understand Byakuya's cocky and short tempered personality. It was finally Saturday, and during that day, he has her all to himself. Byakuya woke up to the sound of his alarm clock and turned it off, while sunlight seeped in through his windows. His eyes widened, realizing that it was Saturday. He slid the Shoji doors in his room that lead to the outside open. He smiled, looking at a familiar black haired teenage girl in a black Kosode with a black mini skirt and a black scarf hanging loosely around her neck, sitting faced away from him while her hands held the edge of the wooden floor while looking up at the sun, her eyes turning from a fiery red to a shiny and gleaming ruby that stood out. A breeze blew and Byakuya sat down next to her. "Did you sleep well?" Byakuya asked.

"Yeah, did you?" she said.

"Yeah, how long were you out here?"

"Half a minute" she said with a grin. "So, where do we go today?" she said standing up, Byakuya doing the same.

He groaned. "Training with your sister"

She laughed. "Don't worry, I'll be there" she said smiling.

"Come on, Byakuya-bo, you're looking pretty pathetic right now" Yoruichi said while Yumiko stood next to her, watching Byakuya as he panted from the many failed attempts of trying to flash step around his manor and back in less than 5 seconds.

"Shut up, you damned woman!" Byakuya angrily said.

Yoruichi laughed. "No good, little Byakuya, you're not looking very good right now, and you wouldn't want to make a weak impression on my pretty little sister, would you?" Yoruichi teased. "Yoruichi!" Yumiko said.

"I'm just stating facts, Yumiko" Yoruichi said.

"Who asked for your opinion, anyways?" he said angrily.

"Hmm… I got it! Yumiko, why don't you demonstrate to Byakuya how you do things? That should help him" Yoruichi said having a great idea. She thought that if Yumiko beat Byakuya, knowing of his cocky personality, he would start to think of Yumiko as competition, and everybody knows, Byakuya Kuchiki does not like to lose.

"I don't think I should…" Yumiko said.

"Come on, please?" Yoruichi pleaded.

Yumiko rolled her eyes. "Fine"

"Ok, 1…2…3… Flashstep!" Yoruichi said.

As Yumiko flash stepped around Byakuya's manor, Yoruichi counted. Yumiko finally got back and stood in the same place she did before, looking like it was no haste at all.

"Wow, 4 and a half seconds, what do you think, Byakuya-boy?" but when they looked at where Byakuya was supposed to be standing, he was already gone. But after wards, he came back, panting. "Damn it, 8 seconds" he said, then disappeared again. Yoruichi smiled. Yoruichi, you are some kind of genius… She thought.

"Sorry, Byakuya-sama" Yumiko said looking down at Byakuya after she beat him at hand to hand combat and fighting with wooden swords. Byakuya slowly stood up, rejecting Yumiko's offer when she held out her hand. "Just never mind! I'll see you at the manor!" Byakuya left Yumiko with her confused thoughts. Yoruichi smiled.

Byakuya walked through the halls of the Kuchiki manor with his hand on his chin, thinking about what happened and how he could be so weak. How could I lose so easily?

He would usually be able to complete Yoruichi's training with ease, but today just went horrible. He stopped abruptly to the sound of a big boom. He ran to the dojo where he heard the boom. He slid the doors open to see Yumiko panting, her hand smoking. He looked at where her hand was pointing to. There was a target board that was just a bit far from the middle. It looks like it's been hit a couple of times, but didn't make the target.

"Yumiko?" Yumiko turned around.

"Oh, hi byakuya" she said trying not to pant being giving him a sweet smile while moving her bangs to the side.

"What are you doing?" Byakuya asked walking over to Yumiko.

"Well, you see, I kind of suck at Shakaho" Yumiko said sighing. Byakuya smiled. Kido was his specialty. He was better at something that Yumiko wasn't. He laughed. Yumiko blushed.

"Hey! don't tell anyone! and besides! I beat you at everything else, so I wouldn't be laughing!" she said. He stopped laughing and sighed.

"That fight was rigged! And my flash step today was off! Anyways, Shakaho is easy, here" he said positioning himself around her to help her aim her hand for the Kido, their skin touching which sent a tingling feeling throughout Byakuya's body as well as Yumiko. Yumiko blushed inside.

"Try not to move your hand as you do the Shakaho, it'll mess you up, build up your spiritual energy, then…"

"Hado number 31, Shakaho!" Yumiko said. The Kido shot exactly at the target.

"There" Byakuya said letting go. Yumiko smiled.

"Thanks! I kind of forgot how to do a shakaho about a week ago, I don't know why, thanks" Yumiko said hugging him. He was taken back a bit and just couldn't hold in the blush anymore. She stopped hugging him. "Now come on, my grandpa told me to make sure that you make it to the elders meeting for our clans today" she said dragging a blushing byakuya by the arm. It's been one of the first times he's ever been hugged by a girl who wasn't a fanatic about him, or attacked him because he was who he was.

"I have to admit, Bya-kun, that's pretty impressive, 3 seconds, you beat my sister!" Yoruichi said at their next training. "What got into you?"

"Don't call me that, you werecat! And I don't know, I was a bit off today!" he said crossing his arms.

Yoruichi smiled looking at Yumiko. Yumiko, what did you do... you didn't!

She thought with a surprised look on her face while looking at Yumiko.

Hehe…
