Bleach does not belong to me!


When Ukitake woke up, he was extremely irritated and somewhat paranoid. He didn't get much sleep, due to waking up in the middle of the night irrevocably convinced someone broke into his home. He didn't like to ignore his instincts, but after the third round of checking his possessions, he managed to convince himself no one was in his home.

But of course, that didn't stop his illness from being evil and making him spend another hour of the night coughing. He swore that it was more evil than Captain Unohana, and that is pretty bad. Not to mention he just had to wake up during that special time where it is too early to do anything, but too late to go back to sleep.

He yawned, knowing to get it out of his system now, because yawning plus paperwork plus Kiyone and Sentaro normally equaled arguments and him being forced to go to bed. Which he hated, even if he was tired. He went to bed when he wanted too. Or when Captain Unohana directly ordered it. Evil woman.

As the feeling something was amiss crept back into him, he scanned the room one more time before leaving his eyes settle on the bag of candy. Perking up at the thought of passing it out to everyone, he trotted into his bathroom to put on his uniform.


"Captain Ichimaru! Up to no good so early in the morning?" Ukitake called out to Gin, both captains knowing nothing was meant by his words.

"Oh, of course." Gin responds, playing along.

Matching Gin's smile, Ukitake reaches into his haori and pulls out a box of Cherry Hard Candy with caramel in it. What? You expect a captain to carry around a bag of candy? As he hands the box to Gin, he could swear he felt it move, which momentarily makes him think twice about doing his work today.

His thoughts on the matter disappear as Gin states, "You have got ta teach me how to do that," something he often says.

"It's a secret." Ukitake says, as he always does in response to that statement.

"Oh, that's too bad." Gin says, completing the conversation.

Ukitake chuckles slightly, before turning around and calling out, "I'll see you later, Captain."

He wondered for a moment why Gin was so far away from squad three barracks, but it was thrown out as he caught sight of Aizen and called out to him.


Gin walked into his office, and sat at his desk. He wasn't actually going to do his paper work, but he liked getting Kira's hopes up. He slammed his feet on the desk, purposely scattering everything, and earning a sigh from Kira.

He put his candy on the table, and as he was opening it, he heard screams outside.

"AH! Enraged cat!"

"Get away!"

"Where'd it come from?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Chuckling, Gin sticks his hand in the box just to pull it out a few seconds later. Raising his eyebrows, he examines the silky spider webs tangled around his hand. Chuckling again, he reaches in and grabs a brown and hairy spider. With an expert flick, he sends it flying right onto Kira's hand. With a childish "EEP!" Kira toppled backwards, chair and all.

Pushing his chair back, Gin stood up. 'So, Cap'in Kyoraku got his friend in on this too, huh? Well, it seems as if I'll have to just get them both with one prank.' He thought as he strode out to the nearest bar.


Shunsui lay on the roof, taking a well earned rest. Well, he thought it was well earned, though Nanao probably wouldn't. He knew that he was open to retaliation by Gin, but he didn't really care, as it is quite hard to embarrass him. He took a drink of Sake, a skill he perfected after nearly drowning himself several times.

"Captain Kyoraku," A monotone female voice states.

"Hrm?" Shunsui says in response as he turns and looks at Nemu on the ground.

"Lieutenant Ise requests that you report to her." With that, she walked inside.

Shunsui just laid there as he thought about where he should go. He couldn't go to Ukitake, as he just spent three hours persuading him to take a nap, so it would be redundant to wake him up, he couldn't visit Unohana, as it probably wouldn't be appreciated, Nanao is looking for him, he is at war with Ichimaru, Aizen and Tosen are just boring, Mayuri kind of scares him- and that line brought him back to reality. Why the heck did he decide to nap on top of 12th?

Shaking that thought out of his head, he leapt up and went to a random division.


Ichimaru headed to 13th Division carrying a bottle of expensive Sake. He had overheard Isane and Kiyone talking about how Shunsui forced Ukitake to take a nap, and Ichimaru automatically saw a perfect plan forming. He effortlessly snuck by Sentaro, and opened the door to Ukitake's office. He knew that a Captian's office did not come with a lock, so all were always open. He walked over to the desk, and put the bottle of Sake down on it. He picked up the bottle of cough syrup, as his grin widened.

'This may've costed some money, but it'll definitely be worth it.'


Heh. Total laziness on my part for the wait. I almost put 'As evil as Aizen' at the top, but then I was like, "They don't know that Aizen has been betraying them yet..." Once again, thanks for the reviews and stuff!
