Ok everyone! Time for..the REAL REAL part of this story..Here's chapter 9! Review and no flames! flames will be exterminated!


Today on this fine day in the Seireitei, just as the sun is rising, we see our new captain for squad 9, Raiyorin, just waking up from her peaceful sleep.

" Hm..Is it morning already?" said Raiyorin with a yawn. " Well I better start my first day as a captain now." With that, Raiyorin gets up from her futon and goes to the bathroom to take a shower.

A few hours later, we see Shuuhei, who has just woken up, walking down the hallway towards the office with a tired look on his face.

" ...Man...I'm still so tired..Why'd I finally fall asleep at 5 a.m. to have to wake up 3 hours later?" groaned Shuuhei with a yawn as he entered the office. When Shuuhei enters the office, he sees Raiyorin, suprisingly finishing up the last 4 sheets of a large stack of paperwork.

" Good morning, Captain..." Shuuhei said, practically yawning out his sentence. " Good morning, Shuuhei. Get enough sleep last night?" Raiyorin said to her lieutenant with a smile. "...Not really...I had trouble falling asleep so I basically didn't fall asleep until 5 a.m. when the sun came up.." " Really? I happened to just wake up as the sun was rising. Hehe...Actually, for some reason, I always wake up in the morning when the sun is rising even if I happen to fall a sleep not to long before then...Isn't that funny?" Raiyorin said with a giggle. " Heh..Actually it kind of is." said Shuuhei with another yawn.

" Wow..You must be really tired...You should go back to bed.." " No no. I have to do my share of the paperwork." " Actually I did that...I got here a few minutes after I woke up...And I already have a few sheets of paperwork left to do...So you're better of going back to your room to rest.." " A-Are you sure, Captain? I-I mean I could do the last few.." " No no. It's ok. You deserve more rest" " Well..Ok, Captain. If you say so.." said Shuuhei, leaving the office.

' Wow...I never thought as a captain, Raiyorin would still be so nice...When something like this happened when Tousen, he would give me a lecture about going to bed at a right time and that crap...' Thought Shuuhei as he went back to his room. A few moments later after Raiyorin finishes her last bit of paperwork, she finds nothing else for her to do. " Ah..There. I finished the last of the paperwork...Hm..Now what do I now?.." said Raiyorin a bit bored. " Hm..Maybe I can take a walk outside..It's really a wonderful day outside today.." said Raiyorin as she got up and walked outside.

A few minutes later, we see Raiyorin outside walking past the other divisions until she comes to pass by the 10th division.

" Hmm..I wonder how Toshiro is? I think I'll pay him a little visit." said Raiyorin as she entered the squad 10 barracks. As she walked towards the office, many squad members said hello and waved to her, she waving back and saying hello to them too.

When she gets to the office door, before she knocks, she hears the sounds of people arguing. " Hm? I wonder what's going on.." said Raiyorin as she knocked on the door. Right after she knocked on the door, the arguing seemed to have stopped as it got really quiet. " Who is it?" sang Rangiku. " It's me, Rangiku." said Raiyorin. Then from behind the door, it sounded as if two people were racing towards the door. There then was a loud thump and a groan and snickering. Just then the door opened.

" Hi, Captain Raiyorin!" said Rangiku in a really happy, yet mischeivious tone. "Uhm..Hi Rangiku..Is everything alright? I heard noises from the other side of the door." said Raiyorin. " Oh, me and good ol' Captain here were just talking about you.." said Rangiku looking back at her captain, who seems to be laying on the floor for some reason. " Uhm...Really? What were you guys talking about?" asked Raiyorin a little bit worried. " Oh well come in and we can talk about that.." said Rangiku, pulling the young captain inside.

" Oh, Captain, get off the floor! We have company!" Rangiku playfully scolded, earning her a growl from Toshiro as he got up. " So..Uhm..What was it about me that you two were talking about?" asked Raiyorin. " Well you see, Captain. This morning when I came into the office, I heard someone moaning. And I was looking around to see who it was..And then I saw my captain asleep on the couch and I saw that he was moaning.. And you won't believe what I heard him moaning!" said Rangiku, giggling a bit. " Wh-what?" asked Raiyorin, feeling a bit uncofortable. " He was moaning yo-.." said Rangiku before she was frozen.

" ....Rangiku..." hissed Toshiro. Raiyorin stares at the frozen Rangiku then at Toshiro. " Uhh...Toshiro,...What's going on?"asked Raiyorin a bit confused." I-It's nothing important..Just one of Rangiku's lies...She's apparently still trying to fix us up..." said Toshiro, looking away a bit, trying to hold back a blush that was coming on. " O-oh..Right.." said Rayorin, looking away a bit also, trying to hide her blush. " Th-That's not possible right? I mean..we're just friends that all.." said Raiyorin. " Ye-Yeah...Not like we could become anything more than friends, right?" " Erm...Y-Yeah...Uhm..Shouldn't you un-freeze Rangiku now?"

" Oh..Yeah.." Toshiro then closes his eyes and un-freezes his lieutenant.

"GAH! Captain! Haven't I told you not to do that?!" asked Rangiku as she shivered. " Oh shut up..You deserved it! Now do the paperwork!" said Toshiro. " But, Capta-..Hmm..You know what, Captain? How about I finish the paperwork and you can take Captain Raiyorin out on a date? "said Rangiku, a plan forming in her head. " No way! Neither of us are intere-.." started Toshiro. " Actually I think it'd be very nice. It has been a long time since we've spent some time alone together, Toshiro.." said Raiyorin. " Erm..Well...Ok..." said Toshiro. " Oh,Captain! You have to ask her out! That's the only way she'll really agree to it!" said Rangiku.

" Rangiku, do you live to humiliate and upset me?" asked Toshiro. " Just do it!" said Rangiku. " Ugh..Ok..Lady Raiyorin,..will you go...out with me?" asked Toshiro, feeling a bit embarassed. " Why, yes, Toshiro. I'll go out with you.." said Raiyorin with a giggle. " Perfect! I've already set up the picnic basket for you two in the garden!" cheered Rangiku. " Wait, you planned this?!" asked Toshiro, a bit upset. " Well...You could say that..I set up a picnic out there everyday incase I'd be able to finally convince you to take Raiyorin out on a date!" said Rangiku, feeling a bit proud of herself. " So that's why I've been seeing a picnic box in the garden every day?" asked Toshiro, flatly. " Yes! Now go go go!" said Rangiku pushing the two shinigami out of the office. "...I swear I hate that woman..." said Toshiro under his breath.

A few moments later in the garden, we see the two captain's sitting in front of the picnic. Raiyorin is enjoying the cool breeze while Toshiro is busy looking in the picnic basket looking at whatever Rangiku put in there.

" Ahh..Isn't this relaxing, Toshiro?" asked Raiyorin, smiling as she enjoyed the scenery. "Onigiri....Natto...." mumbled Toshiro as he searched the basket. " Toshiro? Are you paying attention?" asked Raiyorin. " Aha! I found it!" Raiyorin then stares at her friend weirdly. " I found the sake Rangiku put in here!" said Toshiro as he took it out. " ....Toshiro...Can I ask why she put sake in the basket?" "..Simple..We drink it..we get drunk...I take you back inside and then...uhhh...." said Toshiro as a blush started to form on his face. " ..Oh..I see..." said Raiyorin a blush forming on her face as well. " So..what do we do with the Sake?" asked Raiyorin. " Easy..." said Toshiro as he threw it into the far distance.

"....You sure have great ideas, Toshiro." said Raiyorin, giggling. " So shall we eat whatever else Rangiku put in here for us?" asked Raiyorin. Toshiro nodded his head in agreement as he took out a little box filled with onigiri. ( for those of you who don't know what onigiri is, is a triangular rice ball with that seaweed wrap thing at the bottom.)

The two captains begin to eat each onigiri that was in the little box. They continued to eat until there was one onigiri left. The two captains, looking ahead of them, not realizing there was only one onigiri left, both reached for it, but their hands landed on the other's as if they were both holding hands. The two then look down and see this and they both quickly pull back their hands with a blush beginning to form on their faces.

"Erm...There's only one left..." said Toshiro, looking away from his friend. " Y-Yeah..Uhm..You can have it..." said Raiyorin, doing the same as her friend. " N-No! You take it." " No no...It's...It's ok. You can have it. I'm..not really that hungry anymore." " Are..Are you sure?" " Ye-Yeah...I don't think I should eat a lot of them. Go ahead." said Raiyorin, giving her friend a warm smile. " O-ok.." said Toshiro as he picked up the rice ball. Toshiro then stared at the onigiri as he thought for a moment, then smirked as he came up with an idea.

" Hey, Lady Raiyorin...." called Toshiro. As soon as Raiyorin opened her mouth to reply, Toshiro shoved the onigiri into her mouth. Raiyorin's eyes were widened at Toshiro's sudden actions, but returned to normal as she swallowed the onigiri that was forced into her mouth.

" T-Toshiro! What was that for?!" cried Raiyorin. Toshiro just chuckles a bit as he gets up and runs away only to have Raiyorin get up and run after him also. After an hour of running away, Toshiro stops to turn towards Raiyorin, who was 4 yards away from him who was running towards him.

" Face it, Lady Raiyorin! I you can never catch me! You never could and you never wi-.." said Toshiro, before Raiyorin had shunpoed and tackled him. The two fall to the ground, Toshiro's back against the ground with Raiyorin practically laying on him. " Hehe...What were you saying now, Toshiro?" Raiyorin asked with a giggle. " Heh...Look's like after our many games of tag, you've finally caught me haven't you?" Toshiro replied with a smirk. " Mhm. Looks like I finally have.."

Just then the two realize that their face's are very close to each other's and their lips are 1cm apart from touching. The two then stare each other for a bit, before speaking. " Uhm..I think we should get up now.." said Toshiro. " Ye-yeah..That sounds gre-.." started Raiyorin before she felt someone step on her head, causing the little gap between her and Toshiro's lips to close.

"...So you see Shuuhei, this is why we should-...Hm? What's that sound?" said Rangiku, hearing some sort of noise coming from somewhere. " Uh..Rangiku,...I think you're stepping on my captain's head..." said Shuuhei, looking down at Rangiku's foot standing in Raiyorin's hair. " Hm? Oh my god! I'm so sorry Captain Raiyorin!" said Rangiku jumping back.

Just then Rangiku gets a good look at the scene below her causing a smile to form on her face. " Well, well, well...Look's like these two have decided to make a move on each other...Oh, Captain! I'm so proud of you!" squealed Rangiku. Just then the two shinigami pull apart from each other, both faces completely red.

" RANGIKU! It's your fault this happened!! If you looked where you were walking this wouldn't have happened!" yelled a very pissed off Toshiro. " Oh, Captain, stop trying to cover it up..." laughed Rangiku. " Uh..Captain Raiyorin....Is there-.." started Shuuhei. " NO! It's not like that between me and Captain Hitsugaya! Rangiku stepped on my head and caused it to happen! Honest!" cried Raiyorin. " Oh right, Captain Raiyorin! I just knew you and Captain were going to do something kinky when nobody's looking! I just knew it! You two are just afraid of admiting I'm right! Aren't I? Aren't I?!" said Rangiku as she continued to taunt the two.

Raiyorin doesn't answer, only tilting her head down. " Rangiku...." Toshiro growled before he heard sniffling. Shuuhei turns his head toward's his captain. Just then Shuuhei sees a few tears run down Raiyorin's cheeks. After seeing the tears, Shuuhei instantly pulls Raiyorin towards him and buries her face into his chest to hide her crying face. " Rangiku! Leave my captain alone! You're upseting her!" said Shuuhei, scolding Rangiku as he's comforting his captain. " ..L-Lady Raiyorin..Are you ok?" asked Toshiro worriedly as he walked over to Raiyorin, who's still in Shuuhei's embrace. Toshiro's eyes widen as he hears the sounds of crying coming from his friend. " Toshiro and Raiyorin, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-..." sang Rangiku. A vein then pops in Toshiro's head as he becomes really, really,REALLY upset.

" RANGIKU!!!! WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ME AND LADY RAIYORIN ALONE!!! IF WE SAY WE'RE NOT DATING OR IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER OR ANYTHING RELATED TO ANY OFTHAT, JUST UNDERSTAND THAT AND LEAVE US ALONE!!! WHAT PARTOF THAT CAN'T YOU GET THROUGH YOUR DAMN HARD, SAKE-FILLED SKULL?!" Toshiro yelled at the top of his lungseven so that people in the real world could hear him.

" Jeez...Relax,Captain. You know I was just kidding around...." said Rangiku a little shocked learning her captain could yell so loud." RELAX?! HOW CAN I RELAX WITH YOU BOTHERING US WITH THE SAME SHIT EVERYDAY?!" Toshiro yelled again. " But, Captain, I-.." started Rangiku. " You know what, Rangiku? Just..goaway...I don't want to see you for the rest of the day...You are clearly upseting me...GO!" Toshiro said loudly. Rangiku tries to speak, but doesn't out of fear of her captain yelling at her again and just leaves hanging her head in shame. Toshiro thensighs and turns to Raiyorin, who is still crying in Shuuhei's embrace.

"...Captain Hitsugaya, I.." started Shuuheibefore Toshiro interupted. " It's ok...May I have her now?" asked Toshiro calmly. Shuuhei nods and gives his crying captain to Toshiro, who embraces her in the same manner Shuuhei did, but doesn't bury her head in his chest so he could look at her face. "It's ok now, Lady Raiyorin....No more crying.." Toshiro said, comforting his friend, rubbing her back soothingly. Raiyorin tries to stop but somehow can't still due to embarassment,causing Toshiro to hold her tighter.

" It's ok now...Rangiku's gone and she's not going to bother you...Please stop crying now.." said Toshiro, feeling as if he was about to tear up if Raiyorin didn't stop. Raiyorin's tears start coming out less and less until she finally ceases her crying. " T-Toshiro...I'm-I'm sorry for crying...I-I couldn't help but feel so embarassed bwhat Rangiku was saying.." said Raiyorin sadly. " It's ok..I understand...She doesn't want to understand that our relationship isn't a romantic one..." said Toshiro, burying a side of his face into his friend's hair. " B-But what about what happened when we-.." started Raiyorin. " Don't worry about it...We both know it was just an accident..." Toshiro said starting to playfully chew on her hair.

" H-Hey! Toshiro! My hair's not food!" Raiyorin said giggling. " Really? It tastes like watermelon to me.."said Toshiro with a playful smirk. " Well it's still not food! Now let go!" said Raiyorin, playfully pushing him away. " Heh...There's that smile of yours I love to see..." said Toshiro, placing a hand on her cheek. " Oh, Toshiro.." she said giggling. " How about I walk you and Shuuhei back to squad 9?" offered Toshiro. " That'd be nice.." said Raiyorin.

Later when the three shinigami get to the squad 9 barracks, Shuuhei decides to go in and leave the two captain's alone for a while.

" I'll be going in now, Captain." said Shuuhei, entering the barracks. " Ok, Shuuhei. I'll be in there in a minute." said Raiyorin. " Thank you for comforting me, Toshiro. That really made me smile." said Raiyorin, smiling brightly at her friend. " It's ok, Raiyorin. I just do it because I hate to see you sad." said Toshiro, smiling a little, feeling as if a little blush was about to form. " You know, Toshiro..I can't help but feel I owe you something for this...Ah! I know!" " No, it's ok, Lady Raiyorin. You don't have t-.." started Toshiro before he was silenced by Raiyorin's lips on his. Raiyorin pulls away, leavingToshiro suprised and a little grateful. " L-L-Lady Raiyorin...I...uh..." Toshiro said, his cheeks turning crimson. " Hehe...That was only for being such a great friend like you always are, Toshiro." said Raiyorin, with a little wink. " O-o-oh..Well..Thank you..It was..erm..great.." said Toshiro, his face completely red. " Hehe...Well I'll see you later, ok, Toshiro?" said Raiyorin. " S-Sure...Later." said Toshiro as he watched his friend go into her squad. Toshiro then walks back to his squad, his fingertips touching his lips.
