Chapter 9: Problems
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WHILE MY BACK WAS TURNED FOR 5 SECONDS?!" Isshin shouted. He was furious no scratch that he was livid. The 4th's captain was in her own squad getting healed so she would be able to walk again. The 5th's lieutenant had barracaded himself in his room crying. The captain, vice-captain and 3rd seat of squad 11 had thought this was a great plan so had copied the previous 5th seat.
"Also 2nd captain has one arm and the vice-captain is useless. On top of that the third still lacks a captain and I don't think Izuru is up to it." Hiyori butted in
"6th now lacks a vice-captain as well" Chad added
"Seireitei's a mess I know." Isshin smashed his face on his desk
"Well do your job fix it." Hiyori reminded him
"YORUICHI SHINHOUIN" He shouted
"You called darling?" The cat woman teased appearing from no-where
"Sort out your former squad please." Isshin half-begged her
"Sure. So I'm not an exile anymore?" She smiled a twisted cat smiled
"No you're not. Thanks for your help." Isshin sighed happily that was one thing was out of his hands.
In 5th
"Yumi can I come in?" Renji knocked on his lieutenant's door politely
"Ye-yes." Yumichika sniffed from the other side.
Renji walked in. Yumichika was a mess. His feathers lay on the table away from his bed. His head was matted and greasy. Tear tracks scortched their way down his face. He sat hugging his legs in the corner of the bed hugging a peacock coloured pillow that he remembered Ikkaku having borght for him.
"Look I'm sure Ikkaku won't hate you." Renji sat down and tried to comfort his (sort-of) friend.
"No he will but I love him so much. I only wanted to stay in that squad because of him. Inter-squad relations are hard. I wish I didn't have to deal with this shit" Yumi cried some more.
"That's it you're coming out tonight for a drink." Renji decided
"Why?" Yumi looked up his face devoyed of any light or happiness
"Yumi. 1: you just gave a getting drunk over loss speech, 2: You sound more deppressed than I've ever heard you before and 3: You just swore" Yumichika paused and thought to himself [Maybe I do need a drink after all]
"Oh and take a fucking shower Yumi you look like shit." Renji hugged the usually beautiful man then left him in peace.
In 11th half an hour later.
"So will you come tonight?" Renji asked his friend
"Of course I miss Yumi so much." Ikkaku replied instantly.
"Will you confess?" Renji questioned
"Yeah I think I will." Ikkaku looked down
Later that night
"Renji where are we going?" Yumi asked Renji as he was lead through passage after allyway.
"To me and Ikkaku's secret bar." Renji grinned and Yumi felt a spasm of jelousy
They arrived at the bar and soon slipped into seats.
"What do you want?" The bartender asked gruffly
"A martini and a beer." Renji asked
"That it?" The bartender looked supprised. Presumably Ikkaku and him usually drank a lot.
"No sorry two Martini's" The bartender grunted and went to make the drinks.
"Why'd you ask for two." Yumichika turned to Renji
"I have company coming." Renji sighed happily
"Who?" Yumichika tried to suppress a grin spreading over his face.
"Never you mind." Renji scowled and him not liking being ridiculed.
Just then a figure whose head was hidden by a black cloak he was wearing dropped on the stool next to Renji.
"Is it you?" Renji asked the figure and the figure nodded. Renji smirked "Good" The drinks came and Renji got the beer and gave one Martini to Yumichika and the other to the figure.
"Yumi." A voice spoke from the doorway.
"Ka-kaku?" Yumichika choked
