Chapter 10
I'm back! Yay :D Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I actually got a life during Christmas, I know, it's amazing, right? I hope you all had a good Christmas ^^ And before I cause any confusion, in the previous chapter, there was no romance involved in Zen and Jun's hug, Zen was hugging her in a sisterly-brotherly and friendly kind of way and Jun was just surprised because she hadn't hugged someone in ages. And now, well, I guess Jun's being a b!tch XD Anyway, as you know, I own neither Bleach nor it's characters, only my OCs. If you want to use my OCs for anything, you must ask me first, otherwise, *evil laugh* well, you'll find out if you use them without my permission.
"Wow…Hisakawa's really…Attacking him." Renji commented in surprise after watching the fight for a while,
"It is a fight, Abarai, what else would you expect?" Byakuya replied icily in a matter-of-fact voice, his eyes still fixed on the fierce hand-to-hand combat battle.
Taichou is in a bad mood…Maybe I shouldn't have kept nagging him about their skills…Renji noticed in his head, glancing at Byakuya worriedly before returning his stare to the fight.
Zen had given up on calming her down, at this point, it was either stay focused and dodge or die, Jun was really attacking him fiercely. The speed of their movements seemed to pick up as the fight went on, and once again it seemed like they were dancing as they gracefully and swiftly attacked each other with professional hand and foot movements. Before long, they were just blurs.
"Don't you think we should stop them soon? I mean, they've shown you how well they can fight and all, and…They must be tired right now. They might get injured." Renji asked in a concerned tone, starting to get nervous as the attacks got even fiercer.
"Fine. I've seen all I wanted to." Byakuya gave in, closing his eyes with a sigh,
"Guys, you can stop now!" Renji called with a relieved grin, the two stopping immediately, panting and sweating. Jun found herself falling backwards onto the grass in exhaustion.
"Hey, does this mean I won?" Zen asked, gesturing to Jun and staring at Renji hopefully, who looked to Byakuya,
"That simply means she worked harder than you." Byakuya replied icily before proceeding to start to walk outside of the training grounds,
"Hey, Taichou, what about Hisakawa?" Renji called, pointing to the collapsed shinigami with a frown, Byakuya stopped momentarily before saying,
"Take her to the fourth division." Stoically and continuing to walk, his scarf bouncing as he walked with extremely good posture.
"Oh…Kay Taichou." Renji nervously glanced at Jun out of the corner of his eye, Holy- I don't want to carry her! She'll probably kick me! Renji thought to himself, remembering her fierceness during the fight. He nervously walked over to her, slowly and cautiously, "Hey, Hisakawa, I'm taking you to the fourth division, okay?"
"O-Okay." Renji widened his eyes slightly; he wasn't expecting her to sound like that! She didn't sound as fierce as she had earlier at all, she sounded…quiet and shy. He looked down at the girl lying on the ground and gasped. She was looking to the side, away from anyone, and her face was pure scarlet. "Hey, Hisakawa, are you okay?" Renji asked in surprise,
"I-I'm fine. I think I have a fever." She told him, still red in the face. Zen was watching from a few meters away,
Fever my ass, she's blushing. He glanced at the Taichou across the field, who was getting smaller and smaller as he returned to the division, suddenly, the truth hit him, his eyes widening, No way! D-Don't tell me she has a crush on the Taichou! Heck, I know he has a lot of fan girls, but Jun! I'm disappointed in you! His shocked stare returned to Jun, who was now staring at the Taichou as she was lifted into Renji's arms,
That Taichou…He's so…so…Cool! She thought to herself, embarrassed.
Aika ran through the sixth division courtyards, nearly at the training grounds, Michiki sitting on her shoulders waving her arms in the air whilst exclaiming excited gibberish. A figure came into view as they drew closer to the courtyard, and Aika was surprised to see he was wearing a Haori. Aika felt cold as she ran past the sixth division Taichou, glancing over her shoulder before continuing to run towards the training grounds, leaving him behind.
"Jun-Chan!" Jun sighed after hearing Aika exclaimed, the sound of her footsteps audible as she ran over to her,
"Aww, we missed the fight." Michiki complained, pouting,
"Are you okay, Jun?" Aika asked worriedly, glancing from Renji to Jun.
"I'm just taking her to fourth division, she's tired." Renji explained with a sigh, why do I have to do this? He thought to himself in irritation,
"Oh! I get it!" Aika said suddenly, a mischievous grin appearing on her face as she eyed Jun,
"What?" She replied in confusion, giving Aika a funny look,
"You two are," the look on Aika's face was enough to finish her sentence as Jun widened her eyes in realisation before pure fury crossed her face, a vein bursting in her forehead,
"WHAT!" She exclaimed in fury before jumping out of Renji's arms and clenching her fists, suddenly feeling full of energy. "WHAT!" She repeated angrily,
"Hisakawa, calm down!" Zen told her worriedly, stopping immediately after seeing her icy glare directed at him,
"Oh, Jun, can't you take a simple joke?" Aika giggled, Michiki joining in,
"Oh, Um…I think….Since you're okay…I think I'll leave." Renji chuckled nervously before slipping away while nobody was looking, Whoa…That was awkward…He thought to himself, rubbing the back of his neck as he used shunpo to exit the training grounds. He could hear their squabbling all the way from the courtyard.
"Okay, Jun, calm down…Calm….Shhhhh…." Aika said slowly, lifting a finger to her lips as Jun stood there in silence, huffing in rage, "I have an idea. We're all a bit frustrated after the training, so let's have a drink, you know, to relax a bit." She suggested, still talking slowly and cautiously,
"Should you really be doing that? And what about her?" Zen asked nervously, gesturing to Michiki, "Isn't she a bit young for that?"
"Um…Yeah…You're right….I know! You're Taichou is good with kids, right? He could mind you Michiki!" Aika exclaimed excitedly, Michiki nodding in agreement. Jun wasn't so enthusiastic about this idea,
"No! I don't trust him! He could be…You know…You know…A paedophile." Jun whispered the last part into Aika's ear, Zen unintentionally laughing as he overheard,
"But he gives me loads of candy!" Michiki argued with a pout, her mouth nearly watering as she remembered all of the chocolate and treats she had received off of Ukitake-Taichou.
"That's exactly my point!" Jun hissed to Aika, "Why would he do that if he isn't…a…You know?"
"Oh, Jun, you're too paranoid. He's just good with kids. It would have been known by know if he was a pedo. Just stop worrying." Aika chuckled reassuringly, "And you don't have to worry about getting drunk too much, right?"
"Wait, if you drink sake, aren't you obviously going to get drunk?" Zen asked in confusion, Aika giggling and Jun frowning,
"Not Jun!" Aika denied with a grin, "She can drink ridiculous amounts of sake without getting one bit drunk. She's one of a kind!"
"Oh." Was all Zen could say, noticing that Jun was blushing in embarrassment,
"But you're a different case, Aika. You're terrible with sake!" Jun argued angrily, still frowning,
"Oh, come on Jun; stop being such a party pooper! Everyone needs to relax sometimes!"
"Fine." Jun finally gave in with a sigh, looking away from them with her arms crossed, "But we still have to ask Ukitake-Taichou about minding Michiki for us."
"We can do that now! So tonight, it's settled!"
"Hey, what about me?" Zen asked nervously, Aika and Jun both turning their heads to look at him,
"What about you?" Aika asked,
"Am I coming!" Zen demanded in irritation, Aika immediately bursting into laughter,
"Oh, we can't let a kid like you near sake! What kind of irresponsible woman do you think I am? What age are you, 12?" she teased,
"I don't want him to come." Jun said spitefully, giving Zen a dirty look out of the corner of her eye,
"What did I ever do to you?" Zen asked in a hurt tone, Jun just looking away with a 'hmph'.
"Aw, Jun you're acting like a school girl with a crush! He's a bit young for you, huh?" Aika teased with a laugh, a vein in Jun's head popping,
"You're wrong!" She denied angrily, Zen nodding in agreement, his face going scarlet,
"Yeah, it's obvious isn't it? Hisakawa likes Kuchiki-Taichou." There was a moment of awkward silence as Jun stared at him, her face bright red and her jaw dropped; Aika had a mischievous grin on her face; Zen covered his mouth and Michiki ran around chasing a butterfly.
"You…What?" Aika giggled, staring at Jun for answers, there was another silence before Jun suddenly went red, with a mixture between embarrassment and anger, the look she gave Zen made him want to scream,
The silence was once again broken with a loud exclamation of fury,
"YUKIMURA ZEN! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
