Chapter 4
The sky around the Seireitei was blue and the sun had already been smothered by the grey clouds. Around the Ninth squad barracks, the local tavern was being filled with the usual crowd, mainly of the eleventh squad. Outside, the tavern often looked quite rough as every twenty minutes someone was smashed through the door, or a inside was brought outside.
But tonight, the silence was golden, broken only by the small groans of agony and cries for help as the body of Mayuri Kurotsuchi slowly slid past using one arm to scratch the pavement onward, hoping to get Rikakko's sister back for the attack, his face so bruised and smashed up that all who stepped over his helpless form could not understand the low whimpers he let out for help.
***
Miyuki and Rika walked slowly through the crowded tavern. This was Miyuki's first time at the tavern weirdly named Lucky Gold-Gulps. Rika had dragged her to this place once she'd come and found her. Byakuya had not let her stay in the 6th squad barracks after her little outburst. So Rikakko had decided she would find her sister and take her off somewhere to see if she could annoy that damn Kuchiki even more.
When she had found Miyuki, who had been sitting on the edge of the wooden walkway on the side of the barracks looking pretty sorry for herself, she had immediately dragged her here. This was where Rika came most nights, after a long day in the labs, and many of the other customers knew her by name. Miyuki, still in her state of depression from her embarrassment, walked slowly through the bar not noticing what was going on around her.
What was going on was that people were shouting and fighting all over the place. As Rika walked past many paused in their fighting to offer a wave, a smile and a greeting. In fact one man paused in his hitting of another man just to wave and say hi in a rather high pitched, almost feminine voice. When Rika returned the greeting the man immediately returned to what he was doing.
Miyuki walked up to the bar and slumped down on a stool. Her chin rested against the bar and she stared ahead of her seeing nothing. Rika followed and went to sit next to her sister. A piece of chair flew at her and Rika ducked. The projectile flew over her head and smashed a couple of bottles somewhere on the wall.
Rika sat down and ordered two drinks from the scary looking bartender. He had a bright green Mohawk and was covered in tattoos (you know you're standard bartender in a rough bar). Sure he was scary looking but he was actually a lovely guy, a soul reaper in the 3rd squad. Yeah there were creepy looking people in every squad.
Their drinks arrived quickly despite the disturbances going on in the background. Miyuki immediately put it to her lips and drank. Rika watched as her sister finished her glass almost in one go and ordered another, larger drink. Rika grinned.
"You know I bet the only reason you're reacting to the whole thing this was is 'cause you haven't been with a man in a while!" Miyuki flushed deep red and glared at her sister.
"Of course I have! This coming from the 300 year old virgin!" Rika smirked, completely uncaring of the insult. So what she was a virgin, some girls wanted to wait for the right man. Miyuki rolled her eyes. Sometimes it could be so hard to annoy her sister, or even insult her. There had to be something wrong with Rika's brain. Maybe a family member had dropped her on her head as a baby...
Miyuki was about to open her mouth to say something else when a random shinigami landed heavily against the bar between the two sisters. Miyuki grabbed him and pushed him back into the crowd. She heard his slightly slurry 'thanks' as she pushed him and she nodded.
"Don't mention it" She sighed, blinked, looked behind her and then quickly spun back round. Her eyes wide.
"Where the hell are we?"
***
Byakuya rubbed his temples in an attempt to fight off an encroaching headache. He'd been getting a lot of these lately. Maybe he should go to Unohana and see if she could give him anything to stop the headaches. There's no point he sighed I'm far too busy to go to 4th squad and I doubt she'd be able to help. These are stress headaches.
He closed his eyes and sighed before opening them and getting up from his desk. He walked into the kitchen and looked around. It was empty. This was odd. Usually Renji would be here, or just recently; Miyuki. Seen as they had the most work to do they ate later than the other members. He turned and left to begin his search for his 2nd and 3rd seat.
***
Miyuki leant against her sister and giggled. At first she'd been petrified, after all it wasn't everyday she came here. She hated this kind of place. But Rika had calmed her down quickly, assuring her that she had only been brought here so Byakuya would not find her. Also, Rika had made sure that Miyuki constantly had a full glass, and now Miyuki was at that stage where she couldn't care less about anything.
She suddenly shot to her feet and began marching out of the tavern. Rika stood and followed. In fact many people were stopping their fights as the tavern was giving the last orders for the night. Miyuki stumbled to the door and almost fell through, this earned a couple of laughs from the taverns occupants and cause Rika to bite her lip on a smile.
"Hweewjlp maighe!" Mayuri squeezed out the words from his lungs, but Rika simply stared at him, blinked once or twice and then turned to shrug her shoulders at her sister. But then she'd realised she'd let Miyuki go, and with a grimace spotted her wobbling into... 11th SQUAD! This was not going to be good.
So Rika marched toward the barracks, leaving Mayuri to reach out and start crying over the fact that they refused to help. But then Mayuri noticed something. There was a large dog standing near him that looked hungry, with a screech of horror and an increase in crawling snail speed, Mayuri tried to get away, but the dog yawned and grabbed his arm. With a scream of defiance, Mayuri was dragged away at fast pace to be eaten.
***
Miyuki walked through the run-down looking barracks and only stopped when she reached the dining hall. Rika, who had run in after her sister in a desperate attempt to stop her, ran into her younger siblings back and Miyuki fell forward onto the floor. Rika raised an eyebrow. How come that keeps happening to us? Miyuki grumbled something from the floor and stood up, swaying lightly she made her way over to a group of 11th squad members. Among them were Ikkaku and Yumichika. Rika wondered why they seemed oblivious to their presence. She marched forward noisily and then stopped, her mouth wide with shock when she saw what they were doing.
The 11th squad members were... PLAYING SCRABBLE!!! Rika simply stared at the group in shock, while Miyuki giggled. Yumichika looked up and smiled at the woman. Him and Miyuki were quite good friends. She wobbled her way over to him and plopped down in his lap. Yumichika did not seem to mind this at all and simply wrapped an arm around her waist and proceeded to take his turn.
Rika shook her head to clear her shock and confusion and wandered over. Miyuki had immediately become Yumichika's team mate and the two were quickly gathering points. Rika sat down next to Ikkaku and, when it came to his turn, instructed him on what to do. And so the two became involved in the game.
After an hour or two, Ikkaku and Yumichika decided to leave the girls to go against each other, and this seemed to attract a large crowd of the drunkards. They stared intently at each thoughtful motion of the board pieces, at each gentle caress made against the tiles as the girls pondered over words. There was something strangely erotic, scintillating, about two women playing scrabble.
It didn't not help though that the two women had taken off the top portion of their shihakshou to show their tops underneath. Though Miyuki's was only the white nagajuban that most wore under the black haori, it could not hide her prominent breast, as for Rika's, it was just the strapless white corset that she found more comfortable and more useful. It was also fireproof as to a rather unfortunate experience once before...
As the night wore on, even the captain emerged to stand nearby and watch the process, the women being too absorbed even to notice how there were damp cloths being pressed to their foreheads if they looked to struggle, or gentle massages against their shoulders. Ikkaku and Yumichika still seemed to be in the position of coaches, though in Ikkaku's case, he'd had to budge up as the captain had appeared to start brush Rikakko's hair, much to her oblivion on the matter.
As the game continued, some of the squad members had begun placing bets on who would win. Everything was going well until...
"I don't think Miyuki's got too much to worry about, they say that red-head is the dumbest one in 12th Squad!" One of the squad members simply mumbled drunkly to one of his companions and there was giggling within the midst of the game.
The two sisters had being playing for over an hour now and had being coming up with words that no one in Squad 11 could even guess a meaning of, the two had been quite focused and had often snapped at too much noise. To this comment, the WORST thing anyone could say to Rika, the red-head snapped. Her ears almost twitched with her anger and she snapped a tile piece in her hand. With her teeth grinding together bitterly, she turned to stand and stared with burning eyes at this man.
At this reaction, Captain Kenpachi Zaraki was suddenly on the offensive, about to charge the guy down and start a brawl, but Rikakko was ahead of him. With a sudden burst of strange flame-green spiritual pressure, making a few jump back in surprise, Rika was on the man.
In the single dive she'd knocked the guy to the floor, sat on top of him and was burying her fists into his face as he kicked at her. His companion was unsure how to react and grabbed Rika's hair, jerking it back so she roared in anger.
At this "foul" play, Kenpachi leapt onto the guy and there was a low boom on one side of the barracks. Drunken squad members banged into one another and suddenly they were in the midst of a huge fight. The side supporting Miyuki just stared blankly in confusion, what was going on here?
Then one of the newer arrivals, who'd been excited at the sound of the fight spotted Miyuki near Yumichika.
With a sly grin he placed a hand on her shoulder. Miyuki's drunk grin twisted and her whole body went as white as a sheet. The man leant over, suggested something sinister, and suddenly he received one of the hardest head-butts ever known...
From Yumichika!
The squad members simply stared in shock at this sudden show of violence from the 5th seat. Ikkaku was the most surprised of all. Yumichika, swept a stray strand of hair away from his face and harrumphed in annoyance.
"No one says that to my Miyuki-hime!" Once everyone realised what could have been said, mainly by the look on Miyuki's face, they started yelling and soon the yelling turned into a fight. Yumichika quickly swept Miyuki out of the path of an oncoming bench and dragged her from the barracks in what could be seen as a heroic gesture, if only Miyuki hadn't been drunk and run into a door on the way out.
***
Byakuya sighed as he closed the door to his quarters. Finally! He could relax! He took of his off his captains white hakama and placed it on it's coat-hanger, his scarf was carefully draped over a nearby chair and his kenseikan were placed on the dressing table. He then changed and climbed into bed. He sighed as he began to relax and then picked up the book he had been reading for the last few nights. Ahhh blessed silence! I think this is going to be a good night! One with no problems at all! Oh how wrong he was!
***
Miyuki rested her head on Yumichika's shoulder as the two watched the scene below them unfold. Somehow the fight had left the barracks and was now taking place on the streets. Ok so that might be because many of the members had been thrown through windows and doors and walls. But it was still a shock. The barracks was looking as it if were about to fall down. One side was almost gone! And the street was starting to look as if a bomb had hit it. But this was a normal occurrence around this area. No one really worried.
Miyuki sighed and wrapped her arms around Yumichika's neck.
"Yumi-kun, how come you and I have never dated?" Yumichika blinked at her question and pondered this for a while. A zanpaktou flew towards them and Yumichika leant to the side to avoid it. It flew off into the night. He sighed.
"I have no idea. Maybe its because we're in different squads and if you were to come to my squad then we would never get any privacy, and if I went to yours then your taichou would kick me right out" Miyuki 'hmmed' at this and sighed.
"You're right" Suddenly the two heard a wild battle cry and looked down to see Rikakko get thrown from the mass of bodies and then suddenly dive right back in. She disappeared from sight with what looked like someone's arm in her mouth. The arm was thankfully attached to the rest of it's owners body.
Yumichika had decided this was the best point to agree on, sure Kenpachi might kick her out, he was strict about women being around the barracks alone with a man... He simply did not think it was appropriate for young women to be alone! Not only that, but Miyuki would have no privacy there either, the entire squad would try and spy on them, and Ikkaku would always somehow turn up and make a perfect scene quite uncomfortable! It was as Yumichika was thinking this that they heard the shouts and approaching feet.
The two looked towards the right side of the street and Miyuki waved as she saw a whole pack of 6th squad members charging towards the fight. Yumichika shook his head. What happened next could only be described as chaotic. Kido spells were shouted, 11th squad members shot apart and/ or were restrained and several of the poor group were knocked out or injured by resisting 11th squad members.
***
After the 11th squad had been rounded up they were led back to the 6th squad and shoved into the cells. There were only two cells so it was a bit of a squash. Miyuki and Yumichika were told they didn't have to go into the cells and so sat outside.
Miyuki swaying slightly as she sat on the desk. The drink was now finally starting to take a woozying affect and Miyuki was starting to see weird things in the cells... like a badger? She really was not sure except that anything she saw had the possibility to be unreal and yet her ears were working fine.
Somewhere amongst the melee Rika was still having a wrestling match with one of the chauvinist squad members, on attaching restraints to her, Michelle, who had been present, had been head-butted so hard he'd collapsed with his eyes rolled back in his head, though the same thing had happened to Rika.
As far as alcohol and their family worked, if you didn't get giggly or aggressive, you got over-protective! At least it was better then that time they went out and Rika had attached herself like a limpet to some bouncer's leg! Even so, Miyuki found herself blinking and shaking her head to try and wake up. What was the worst that could happen, bar fainting?
***
Byakuya stepped in with a snarl upon his face as he stood in full captain gear, save for the little "Ambassador Seaweed" franchise slippers on his feet. Miyuki looked at him with the disbelieving eyes of a drunkard seeing a unicorn. What the hell was he wearing? She didn't care, he was obviously not really there at all!
Though as he shouted at 11th squad for being uncivilised she was soon convinced that he was. Being in this state, Miyuki was suddenly aware of some music, and then the alcohol and the cool dance music took over and she stood up as though hypnotised onto the desk. Byakuya turned, jumping with shock, he had not spotted her there and now he was a little scared. Did he smell alcohol around her?
It was then that the beat caught every joint in Miyuki's body and her had began to sway from side to side, rhythmically bobbing and diving from left to right as she danced to the music, head then shoulders, then her arms began to swim like coiling serpents, and then it happened. Her stomach rolled inward and outward, keeping the beat and then it swam to her hips, and suddenly she was belly-dancing! Without even thinking, Miyuki was suddenly really into her dance, unaware that her belly-button area was butting the air right in front of her taichou's eyes!
Without thought she was suddenly lying on her back, her knees up, almost thrusting the air like she was dancing erotically. The chorus of delight from the 11th squad was empowering, she could not stop as she sat up and shimmied right in front of Byakuya. His eyes trained after her jiratting, his mouth almost watering with the delight of this dancing. How did she move like that? It shocked Byakuya.
He'd never seen this kind of dance before. What was even more shocking was that he was really enjoying it! Byakuya tried to blink and shake his head from the incident, but as he stepped backwards, Rika was suddenly pushed forward, falling half-way through the bars of the cell, her hips wedging her in place, butting Byakuya's back right forward.
Miyuki was dipping her bobbing head low, arching her back and coiling her arms still, as she rose her head just an inch, lifted, and jolted her chest forward, suddenly a head was between her pillows and swiftly her head came down to meet it, and there was a lot of pain and then everything went black!
A/N: Woo for Miyuki's drunken dancing and the 11th squad for being weirdos! Ha ha I hope you enjoyed. The next chap shouldn't be far off. I'm working on it right now lol! Comments welcome :D
