Chapter Six
Rain on my Parade
I made my way to my captain's office with the food he had requested. He typically did not ask for such favors but he told me it was for a special guest. The name of this person he left out but I could only assume it was a woman. Not that I cared, I just felt it was odd that he would have a lady friend over in the middle of a work day. I was only annoyed by this simply because I would be the one who had to stay late to make up the work he did not do. As I approached my destination I heard voices, laughing, and giggling. I raised an eye brow. They were bit loud considering I was four doors away from his office. When I finally got there, the door was closed. I hesitated momentarily before knocking on the door. I have already learned my lesson and would not put this opportunity past him.
I then heard the laughing pick up and my captain trying to settle down. He started playfully shushing his guest in attempt to quiet her as he went to answer the door. I rolled my eyes. He probably forgot he had even sent me to get the food. The door opened to reveal my captain looking over his shoulder. He was still laughing and pathetically trying to silence his friend who was giggling hysterically in the background. I cleared my throat to get his attention. "Oh, Nanao! My sweet Nanao! Did you bring the food?" he had greeted me sweetly at first only to butter me up. I furrowed my brow and handed him the food silently. He snatched the food and retreated back to his company, forgetting to close the door. I paused before turning to leave.
Curiosity got the best of me and I pushed the door open. I poked my head in and saw my captain sitting very close to very young woman on the couch. The two were already chowing down on the food I gotten for them. I could not tell if they had been drinking or not, but something did not seem right. I let myself into his office and stood there watching them eat for a few seconds. "Captain." I addressed him to get his attention. His head snapped up to look at me with a mouthful. I gave him a look before inquiring, "Who is this?" His eyes widened suddenly before he looked to the woman beside him who was still eating happily.
He swallowed his food as he looked back to me and replied, "This is my new friend, Emily. She's the one that big meeting was about." "You mean the intruder? I thought she was with Captain Komamura?" I inquired skeptically. "I slept in and he had work." the young woman responded before taking another mouth full of food. I looked back to my captain who smirked at her reply. I gave him a sharp look, wanting answers. It caught his attention and his expression softened. "It's a long story, Nanao. The point is Emily is here with me and safe. We're just having some lunch. Care to join us?" he offered politely but I knew better.
I gave him a suspicious look and declined, "I appreciate the offer, Captain, but I have a lot of work to do." I turned to leave and he added, "Suit yourself, more for me and my lovely friend." I almost stopped dead in my tracks at that comment but headed toward the door. I could not help but glance back them one last time. To my horror, I saw my captain now holding a bottle of sake. My face sunk and I quickly left, closing the door behind me. I started panic. This was not good at all. I could not let him do nor could I let him do that to the woman. If it was anyone else I would not care but she is different, she does not belong here. Once I was far enough away from his office, I sent a Hell Butterfly to Captain Komamura. It was rushed message but he needed to get here quick before things got out of hand. I simply waited where I was after I had sent the message but as time passed I grew impatient. I went outside to wait him and even then, time seemed to drag. I started to wonder if he even got my message or if the urgency was not clear.
"Where are they?" inquired a voice from next to me. I was so lost in thought I had not even seen Captain Komamura approach me. "Captain Komamura! I am so sorry. I did not see you there. I—" I tried to explain but he had cut me off. "Where are they, Nanao?" the captain interjected. I stammered, slightly intimidated, "T—They are in his office." The Captain of the Seventh Division wasted no time and started to make his way to the office. I trailed behind him nervously. I did not know if it was too late or if my captain would be upset with me. Before I knew it, we were in my captain's office. I gasped when I saw them lying on the couch together. He was on top of the young woman in a most lewd manner. Their clothes were disheveled and their hair messy. Both of them look to be caught in the act. I barely had time to register that Captain Komamura had already made his way to the couch and had ripped my captain off the young woman. He was sent stumbling away and fell onto his rear. I rushed to his side to help him up.
Despite the current situation he looked like the cat that ate the canary. I glowered at him and looked back to the others in the room. Captain Komamura had scooped the woman up into his arms and thrown her over his shoulder. She was protesting wordlessly but did not put up much of a fight. I was unsure if my captain had given her sake or not. Komamura then turned to my captain and warned, "If I see you near Emily again, so help me…" He took his leave at that point, not wanting his anger to rise any further. We silently watched him walk towards the door and the woman over his shoulder waved sweetly at my captain. He foolishly returned the gesture and I proceeded to glare at him.
