Woohoo! 4 reviews! You guys just made my day. Your reward? A quick update with a helping of ByaYuzu at the end. By the way, I need to ask if Byakuya is acting OCC. I really need to know if he is so I can edit it. Please enjoy!

I do not own Bleach


"O—nii—chaaan! Have you seen my dress?" Yuzu called out as she opened the door to his room.

"Hey! Don't open without knocking." Onii-chan scolded as he walked up the stairs.

Yuzu turned around to face her Onii-chan, "Oh, you were downstairs." She remarked before tilting her head to notice the towel hanging on his shoulder, "Oh! You've already taken a bath! I want to go in too!" Yuzu whined.

"Are you stupid? You're in 5th grade now, learn to go by yourself already." Onii-chan said.

Yuzu puffed out her cheeks, "Onii-chan…you've become colder since going to high school."

"No I have not. And I don't know about your dress." Onii-chan said in exasperation.

"What? I'm also missing a pair of pajamas!" Yuzu exclaimed.

"I don't know about that either. Why do you think I know the answer to everything?" Ichigo exclaimed, a sweat drop running down his head.

Ichigo…

The day started as per normal except Airi went to wake Byakuya up while Yuzu cooked breakfast. Once again, Airi was shocked that Byakuya ordered Yuzu to cook dinner but then again, Byakuya would never want Yuzu to wake her up ever again after her first attempt.

"Your breakfast is ready." Yuzu announced as she entered the room.

Airi looked up, "Let me help you with that." She took the tray from Yuzu and set it on the table before turning to Yuzu. "By the way, we'll be having a dance party tomorrow. Servants are also allowed to attend, you're going too right?"

"Eh? But didn't you say that we're in the middle of a war? How can we have time for a dance party?" Yuzu asked.

"This dance party is customary in the Kuchiki household." Airi explained, "Kuchiki-sama has already asked me to accompany him so you'd have to have someone to accompany you or you'll be going by yourself."

"…Can I choose not to go? I'm not that good at dancing."

"It is not compulsory." Byakuya said.

Airi shrugged, "You heard him."

Yuzu gave a sigh of relief. At least I don't have to go. I hate dancing. Yuzu thought before turning to Byakuya, "How was the food, Kuchiki-sama?" She asked.

"It was delicious." Byakuya replied simply.

"You've got to be something Yuzu, Byakuya rarely compliments on the dishes." Airi pointed out, "And here I thought you can't cook at all. Haha, I was kind of worried that you would end up setting the kitchen on fire rather than cook something."

"Oh…I guess so." Yuzu laughed nervously.

"Yuzu has the potential, it would not be wise for you to come up with such assumptions." Byakuya said.

Airi blinked, Byakuya has never said anything like that to her before. "Oh okay…sorry Yuzu."

"It's fine." Yuzu reassured, "To be honest, I thought that I would end up setting up a fire myself too." Yuzu laughed nervously.

"What have I told you about having such thoughts?" Byakuya asked.

"Um…sorry, Kuchiki-sama." Yuzu apologized.

Byakuya stood up and head for the door. "You may think as you wish, what I have said is merely an advice. Whether or not you want to take it is your choice. However, I would still like you to continue accomplishing your duties without mistakes."

"Y-Yes, Kuchiki-sama."

-x-

Yuzu was in deep thought as she walked back to the room. She had nothing left to do and decided to stay there and do some rolling on the bed. She doesn't know why but she likes to roll a lot. Kind of weird. However, as she was in deep thought, she did not notice the figure in front of her and accidentally bumped into the figure.

"Ow…" The figure spoke.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Yuzu snapped out from her daze and helped the female servant up.

"I-It's okay, Yuzu-san." The female servant asked, "U-Um…my name is Nagito and…I have something I wish to ask you. You see, I've liked you for awhile and I hope that you're willing to go to the dance with me." Nagito said, blushing heavily.

"Say what?"

Nagito's eyes widened and tears of rejection started to form, "I-It's okay if you're not willing to go with me…"

Yuzu rubbed her head nervously, though she is a girl but she didn't like it when other people cried. "Look, it's not that I'm not willing to go with you but I don't even know how to dance. I wasn't planning on going anyway."

"If you'd like, I can teach you how." Nagito offered with a blush.

"Well…"

"Please? I…I've always wanted to ask you to the dance but you seemed busy. If all you're worried about is not being able to dance, I'm sure I can teach you how!" Nagito pleaded, "Won't you go with me? I swear I won't bother you after that."

Yuzu winced, but she is a girl! How can she go with a girl? "…Okay…"

"Thank you so much." Nagito smiled and held Yuzu's hands. "I'm so glad that I can finally get to speak to you."

Yuzu laughed nervously, "I-I'm glad that you're happy."

"I am. I shall see you tomorrow. Thank you for agreeing to go with me." Nagito blushed, still not letting go of Yuzu's hands. "…Have you…finished your duties? Perhaps we can take a stroll in the manor?" Nagito asked.

"Sorry but I have to prepare lunch for Kuchiki-sama later."

"Oh, you can cook?" Nagito asked.

"Somehow I'm able to."

Nagito's eyes brightened, "That is so cool. I hope I will be able to eat your cooking someday! Though it might not be as good as Airi-san's but I'm sure that your cooking is splendid as well. Well, see you tomorrow Yuzu-kun." Nagito smiled and ran off.

Yuzu-kun…Yuzu-kun…this boy identity is getting ridiculous! Yuzu screamed in her mind. Someone up there save me! I swear to god if you help me, I'll pray to you every single day!


Yuzu is once again at the dinning area while Byakuya ate. And once again, Airi wasn't present because she has other duties to attend to. Yuzu, in the meantime, is in a bind. What the hell is wrong with her? How could she agree to become a girl's date? It's just so wrong on so many levels!

"Um…Kuchiki-sama…" Yuzu started, "Is it compulsory to dance at the party?"

"No."

Yuzu gave a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Did you not say that you are not going to attend?" Byakuya inquired.

"…Well, a servant asked me and somehow I can't refuse so I'm going anyway. But then the main reason why I don't want to go is because I can't dance for myself. And before you say anything, this has nothing to do with my self-confidence." Yuzu said.

"I was not going to say that but you are going with a male while you are hiding your real gender?"

Yuzu fidgeted, "I'm…going with a female."

If Byakuya were drinking, he would have spitted the water back into the cup despite being a noble at all because the news is just as shocking to anyone else. But luckily he wasn't so he was spared the humiliation.

"You are…going with a female?"

"Yeah. She said she liked me and I'm flattered but I'm a female! I don't really look like a guy THAT much, do I?" Yuzu frowned.

"Sometimes a male may look like a female."

"Like you?" Yuzu blurted out without thinking again.

Byakuya glared, "Excuse me?"

"Uh, I mean, of course not! You look more like a guy than a girl. Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. But anyway, is it normal for a girl to go out with a girl? I'm not that sure about relationship yet but I at the very least know that it's not right."

"It depends, the female servant does not recognize you as a girl."

"Ooooh, I'm doomed! I'm supposed to be a girl! How can I attract another girl when I'm already a girl! If this goes on, I'll never find a guy. Why did I ever consider posing as a guy in the first place?" Yuzu sniffed.

"Since you have already accepted her request, you have to go along with it."


Why me? Why me? Why me? Yuzu chanted as Nagito clasped her arms around hers as they walked into the party. Someone down there save me! I swear to Satan if you help me, I'll never pray to god ever again!

"Are you alright, Yuzu? You seem to be in deep thought again." Nagito pointed out.

"I'm just thinking about something else, please don't worry about me." Yuzu reassured.

"Huh? Yuzu?" Airi's voiced called out from their front. Yuzu and Nagito looked up to see Airi, who is wearing a stunning blue kimono with cherry blossoms imprinted on it. Some of her hair is tied up in a bun while the rest of them fell freely against her back. She is also wearing a very noticeable glass flower hairpin.

"Oh, Airi-san, Kuchiki-sama." Nagito greeted.

Airi smiled at Nagito causing her to feel a sense of happiness within her, "Hello. Are you Yuzu's date?"

"Y-Yes. My name is Nagito, ma'am." Nagito replied.

Yuzu gave both Airi and Byakuya a pleading look, as if telling them to help her get out from her current situation. Airi didn't notice because she was too busy talking with the stunned Nagito. Saveeee meeeee!

"Yuzu, there is something I wish to speak with you about." Byakuya ordered and walked towards an area. "Privately." He added, stopping Airi from following.

"Sorry Nagito but I've got to see Kuchiki-sama." Yuzu tried to sound disappointed.

"Sure, I'll be waiting for you to return." Nagito smiled.

-x-

When Byakuya and Yuzu finally arrived at a secluded area. Yuzu collapsed on the ground and gave a sigh of relief having avoided something that she knew she is going to regret for the rest of her life. Byakuya, on the other hand, did not know why did he help her but he just felt that he have to after receiving her pleading look. He suddenly noticed that they're at the entrance of Hisana's grave.

"I thought I was going to die." Yuzu sighed.

"Why did you agree when you knew that you are going to regret it?" Byakuya asked.

"Well, she is pleading and I couldn't really reject her, could I? She seems kind of sweet and the worst part is, she was about to cry." Yuzu explained, "I know I'm a girl but I still don't like it when people cries in front of me." Yuzu said.

"I see."

Another good point about Yuzu is that she has a kind heart. Even when she is strongly against going to the party, she still did for the sake of other people's happiness. Byakuya is sure that if Hisana were at the same position as her, Hisana would do it as well. That's just the kind the two of them are.

"But I feel really bad for leaving her there." Yuzu laughed.

"Would you prefer to return?"

"Uh, not now. I need to take a breather. All this is driving me insane, I'm still not over the fact that a female asked me out." Yuzu said.

"Humph."

Yuzu lay on the grass, "Ah, it feels so good." Yuzu smiled and started to roll on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Byakuya asked.

"I don't know why but I like to roll and roll and roll. It kinds of make me feel light headed. Well, it's something I do when I'm bored since I don't have anything else I could do." Yuzu said and continued to roll on the grass, enjoying it every minute.

"I do not see any entertainment in it."

Yuzu stopped and propped her head on her elbows. "It's not exactly for entertainment just something to do to pass the time. And as I've said, there's nothing else I could do other than roll and roll and roll." Yuzu grinned, "By the way, thank you for helping me out back there."

"Hn, I did not know why I did it but you are welcome."

"Why not? Kuchiki-sama has a big heart right? You would help anyone in need." Yuzu said.

"Do not make assumptions about me."

Yuzu huffed, "I'm not making assumptions. From what I've heard, Kuchiki-sama is a taichou from Gotei 13. And if I remember correctly, the purpose of the Gotei 13 is to protect Soul Society. Isn't it enough proof that you have a big heart since you're protecting us?"

"Not all taichous' purposes are the same."

"Eh?"

"If you have heard of Zaraki Kenpachi, taichou of the 11th division, you would know that he lives by killing. As to why he joined the Gotei 13, it is unknown to me." Byakuya said. For some reason, I feel comfortable speaking with her.

Yuzu winced, "So there're taichous like that too…"

"And also, three taichous have defected as they joined the Gotei 13 for their own selfish reasons. And that is why you cannot assume that those from the Gotei 13 are there to protect. You cannot be sure that they are doing it for evil or for good."

"Hmm, but Kuchiki-sama doesn't seem the type to live by killing or evil." Yuzu pointed out.

"How can you be so sure?"

"I don't know why but Kuchiki-sama seems like the type who would protect something but refuse to let anyone think like that. You would most likely do it in secret because you don't want other people to know that you are actually that like of person."

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

Yuzu shrugged, "Even though you helped me, you still refuse to let me think that you did it out of being nice. There is no way someone would do something without a reason. Although I think that all people would do something with a reason that will benefit themselves"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I think that what everyone does has a reason even though they themselves didn't know it. You make people happy is not only because you want them to be happy but also it makes you feel happy when the other person is. But it might not be true since it's only one of my 'deep thoughts' moments which I only have when I'm bored."

"What you said might be true."

Yuzu blinked, "Really? Then I might be smarter than I thought! Woo!"

"You still think yourself as incompetent?"

"Not after yesterday when we had that talk." Yuzu admitted.

"It is good that you took my advice."

Yuzu grinned, "Yeah. It feels kind of good being able to accomplish something that you thought that you can't."

"Then why would you not try dancing?"

"Out of the question."

"You said that you want to try to accomplish something you thought you are not able to. So why not give it a try?"

"Even if I want to, you can't possibly ask me to dance with a girl! Out of the question, no way!" Yuzu protested.

Byakuya stretched out his hand, "What if I were to ask you to dance with me?" Byakuya asked.

Yuzu blinked, looking at the stretched hand. "Are you sure? Weren't you Airi's date? And why would you want to dance with me? I'm not all that good."

"As I have said, do not think yourself as incompetent. Do not make me make this an order."

"…Okay." Yuzu blushed a little and took his outstretched hand. The position is similar to the one yesterday when Byakuya caught her when she fell but this has more of a warm feel into it. The both of them danced and Yuzu was afraid that she might step on Byakuya's foot or something.

"Relax." Byakuya whispered.

"But it's so difficult too." Yuzu frowned.

"Follow the music and you will be fine." Byakuya said.

Yuzu sighed and started to relax, following Byakuya's advice and soon, she found out that she is able to dance though it's rather sloppy. At least she didn't step on Byakuya's foot but that may be because that's the only thing she is focused at.

"Kuchiki-sama?"

"What is it?"

"…Thank you."

Unknown to them, a figure is observing them and had masked its reiatsu. "So this is Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Karin's little sister. Heh heh heh...Aizen-sama would be pleased."


Oops, Yuzu is going to be in danger. Save her Byakuya! And also, please tell me how Byakuya is acting, OCC or as per normal. I really need to know so please review!
