Yuri skipped towards the tenth division, smiling widely. Her friend had finally woken up! She grinned widely, for the first time in two months, she was truly happy. She slowed her skip until she was walking, thinking about what Shun's Captains had done to her. He had beaten her up, almost killed her, had put her in a coma, and yet... she didn't care. Her friend didn't care what he did, except she only cared about the paperwork. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. Shun had brushed the whole thing off, just like everything else she's ever did in life, and she almost seemed to... respect the savage Captain? Why? Yuri frowned in confusion. She didn't understand her friends sometimes. She looked up, seeing the division come into view. She swallowed nervously. She has never once, seen her Captain so mad at her before. She's only been in the tenth division for two months but she was so scared when she saw the anger in his eyes. What was he going to do to her?! She swallowed loudly, scared out of her mind!

'Maybe he'll only yell at me.' Yuri thought, trying to calm herself.

But that only seemed to make her more nervous! She has never been yelled at by anyone other than Shun. She frowned sadly. What if he was going to transfer her?! Yuri paled. That meant not seeing lieutenant Matsumoto anymore! Yuri closed her eyes before clenching her hands together, nodding to herself. She'll just have to accept it. She walked up to the division, taking her sandals off before walking inside, holding her sandals with her right hand as she walked in. She bit her lip, standing in front of the office, praying to whatever god there was out there that the Captain would go easy on her.

"Yuri Hikari. May I come in, sir?" Yuri asked, quietly.

It was quiet for a couple moments, making Yuri really nervous, more nervous than she's ever been. Well, except that time when she wanted to know what Rio and Shun's release looked like.

"Come in, Hikari."

Yuri swallowed hard before opening the door, bowing lowly.

"I'm sorry Captain Hitsugaya! I didn't mean to draw my sword against Captain Zaraki!" Yuri yelled, her eyes shut tightly.

"Stand in front of my desk." Hitsugaya ordered, her eyes closed while he frowned.

Yuri stood up and nodded, slowly walking towards the Captain's desk before looking down, her heart beating fast. She was scared! She heard the Captain sigh heavily before bracing herself.

"Do you know what you almost di-"

"I'M SORRY!!!!" Yuri yelled, interrupting the Captain.

Hitsugaya sighed out of irritation, hearing the girl yell 'I'm sorry!' over and over again. He stared at her, letting her apologize to the world until she started coughing from yelling to long. He sighed before closing his eyes, getting into Captain mode.

"Hikari, you realize what you could of done if you released your zanpakuto?" Hitsugaya asked, opening his eyes to see a blank look of confusion.

"What would of happened Captain Hitsugaya?" Yuri asked, tilting her head in confusion.

Hitsugaya gave her a look, wondering if she was serious. She had to be serious. No one in Seireitei couldn't know what would not happen if they released their zanpakuto. He sighed, seeing that she really didn't know, since she quirked an eyebrow and urged him to answer her question, even though she answered his question with a question.

"You would have been charged with first degree offense." Hitsugaya answered, frowning,

Yuri's eyes widened. First degree offense?! Yuri's lip trembled. She didn't know that? Her eyes began to water, hearing the Captain sigh out of frustration. But as her tears fell, the lieutenant of the tenth walked in at the same time. When Rangiku looked up, she gasped loudly, making both people in the room look towards her.

"Captain! How could you make Yuri-chan cry?!" Rangiku yelled, holding the crying sixth seat.

"Wha- I didn't make her cry!" Hitsugaya yelled, protesting that he ever did such a thing.

"I thought you knew better than that." Rangiku said, staring at Hitsugaya like she was ashamed.

She 'tsked' a couple times before walking out of the room, taking Yuri with her. Hitsugaya's eye twitched as a vein pulsed. He continued to stutter, cursing his lieutenant. He wasn't done talking with Hikari, and she...

"MATSUMOTO!!!!"

-:-

"So, you almost got yelled at by the Captain because you were going to release your zanpakuto?" Rangiku asked, sitting at a low table in a bar.

Yuri nodded, feeling uncomfortable since she's never been to a bar without her friends with her. She looked up, seeing Rangiku frown at her with a quirked eyebrow.

"Is something wrong lieutenant Matsumoto?" Yuri asked.

"You've never been yelled at before. Am I right?" Rangiku asked, seeing Yuri's eyes widened.

"Yes. Only my friend yells at me." Yuri said.

"What?! Someone yells at a cute girl like you?!" Rangiku exclaimed, disbelief on her face.

Yuri tilted her head and nodded. Was there something wrong with being yelled at? Everyone's been yelled at before. She even remembered when she was hit by... she shook her head before grinning at the lieutenant.

"I'm okay. I would of felt better even if Captain Hitsugaya yelled at me." Yuri said, seeing Rangiku smile.

"You're one of the people to call him by his title, so maybe that's why Captain doesn't mind you going into the office." Rangiku muttered, looking up in thought.

"But he's a Captain, so he must be called by his title." Yuri said.

"Well, some people call him Shiro-chan, Toshiro, and other names he hates." Rangiku said.

"Shiro-chan." Yuri muttered.

She giggled before smiling brightly. That was a funny name. She jumped when a bottle was in front of her along with a cup. She tilted her head before glancing up, seeing the lieutenant pour herself a cup. Rangiku took a sip before looking at the confused girl, smiling as she raised her cup.

"C'mon! Lets drink." Rangiku said.

"B-But we're supposed to be working." Yuri said, frowning.

"We're not in the office." Rangiku said, grinning.

She poured Yuri a drink, making the little woman frown. What was she going to do? She can't get drunk, yet she wants to spend time with the lieutenant. She hesitantly grabbed the cup before looking up to see Rangiku downing hers. She looked back at her cup before throwing her head back and downed it all in one gulp. She breathed out, a tint of red appearing on her face before glancing up to see Rangiku smirking at her.

"You should join me and my friends sometime so we could have a drinking contest." Rangiku said.

Yuri grinned, only intent on pouring another cup. She could hold her liquor, but not as good as Shun. The woman was like a man most of the time. She laughed when Rangiku's eyes widened, seeing that the little woman was having another cup so quickly.

-:-

Hitsugaya walked around with a frown set on his face. Usually Matsumoto went back to the office after she was done with whatever she does, but she was taking too long. And that only meant...

"She's drinking." Hitsugaya muttered, his frown deepening.

He continued walking, people getting out of his way. He didn't know where Hikari was either. That was weird. She was always in the office when she was with... Hitsugaya's eye twitched before he started walking faster. Where were they?

-:-

Everyone cheered, watching the drinking contest going on between both women. Rangiku grinned, slamming her cup down only to see that the other woman was already done. Yuri grinned at her before both of them poured themselves a cup, drinking the contents of their cups so fast they made it seem like water. Yuri slammed her cup down, smirking when Rangiku was getting a little tipsy. They downed a couple more cups, one of them still sitting straight while the other was swaying slightly. And the one swaying fell down, passed out.

"I win!" Yuri cheered, hearing other people's cheers going around.

Her eyes widened when she felt reiatsu going towards the bar, flaring dangerously. Before she could run out of the bar, she stood up to be faced with an angry Captain, his eyebrow twitching and a frown on his face. Yuri laughed nervously while everyone around them slowly, and quickly, ran out of the bar like hell.

"Captain Hitsugaya." Yuri greeted, slurring.

She put her hand on her stomach, seeing the Captain glare at her. She grinned, seeing the glare intensify.

"Hikari, what are you doing here? And where is lieutenant Matsumoto?!" Hitsugaya asked, narrowing his eyes.

"She's right there." Yuri said, pointing to the sleeping woman on the floor, while at the same time her hand was glowing.

Hitsugaya frowned before looking past the woman, seeing the glow. He sighed out of irritation before walking up to his lieutenant and nudged her with his foot.

"Matsumoto, wake up!" Hitsugaya ordered.

Yuri slowly walked out of the bar, making a break for it when she was out the door. She jumped over a few roofs, scared like hell that the Captain would find her!

-:-

Yuri sighed out of relief, seeing that the Captain didn't follow her. He must have been yelling at the lieutenant or something. She continued walking, smiling widely. She was not drunk, she was not swaying, she wasn't slurring when she talked. Why? Because she used a kido on herself to make her sober again. She had taught herself the kido when her and her friends lived in the Rukongai. That's all you need to know.

'Too bad that Shun can't do kido. She would of loved to use my kido, so she doesn't have to go through a hangover.' Yuri thought, looking at the sky.

What were Shun and Rio doing? Maybe she should go see them?! Yuri smiled and nodded, turning in a different direction. But before she could walk a couple steps she stopped, staring at the small Captain with wide eyes. What was he doing there?! She saw his glare intensify, looking directly at her. Wasn't he mad at the lieutenant?! So what was he doing there?

"Hikari. You and Matsumoto will have double the paperwork for having... a drinking contest." Hitsugaya said, frowning when he thought about two of his subordinates drinking when they were supposed to be working.

Yuri's eyes widened. Double the paperwork?! She slumped her shoulders forward before nodding, turning to walk towards the tenth division. Well, she couldn't see her friends. She should of just refused lieutenant Matsumoto's request to drink.

-:-

Yuri looked at Rangiku, tilting her head to the side. She was asleep. On the couch. Didn't do a single form of paperwork. She smiled before sitting on the other couch, grabbing a form and brush. She sighed, looking at the eight stacks of paperwork. How would she be able to finish all of the paperwork. She needed help, and her only help was drunk and passed out. She giggled sadly, reading the forms. Was this her punishment? Yuri's eyes widened. Her punishment! She stood up and was in front of Hitsugaya's desk in a matter of seconds, making the Captain jump.

"Hikari." Hitsugaya sighed, shaking his head.

"Is this my punishment?!" Yuri asked, her eyes wide.

Hitsugaya quirked an eyebrow. Punishment? Ah, yes. Her punishment for almost releasing her zanpakuto. But her doing paperwork was for another-

"I'M SORRY!!! I DIDN'T MEAN TO ACT SO IMPULSIVELY!!!!" Yuri yelled, her eyes watering.

"Hikari-"

"I WAS ONLY FOLLOWING MY INSTINCTS! AND IT WAS TELLING ME TO KILL THE ONE THAT HURT KITTY!!!" Yuri yelled, flailing her arms.

"Hikari- Who's Kitty?" Hitsugaya asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"Shun Masuyo." Yuri answered before flailing her arms again.

"Hikari, stop." Hitsugaya ordered, seeing her stop whatever she was doing. "Your punishment isn't doing paperwork. It will be sometime during the day."

Yuri's eyes widened again before she started bawling out loud, making the Captain sigh before shaking his head. Why must she be doing that when he has a head ache? He ignored her, signing paperwork, but then his eyes widened when he looked at the door, feeling someone's reiatsu, someone familiar.

"Hi Shiro-chan!"

Someone opened the door, making Yuri stop her crying and looked towards the door, seeing a girl with purplish hair standing there with a lieutenant's badge on her arm. Yuri's eyes widened, not seeing the annoyed look on the Captain's face. He had a feeling something was going to happen.

"You're so cute!" Yuri squealed, in front of the lieutenant in a matter of seconds.

Momo blushed, wondering who the girl was. She's never seen her before.

"My name is Yuri Hikari. What's your name?" Yuri asked, smiling softly at the girl.

Momo's eyes widened. She was a beautiful girl. She stuttered before answering.

"M-My name is Momo Hinamori." Momo answered.

"Momo." Yuri muttered. She smiled widely. "What a cute name!"

"Why are you in Shiro-chan's office?" Momo asked, her face red from the comment.

"I'm doing paperwork with lieutenant Matsumoto, but she's asleep." Yuri said, pouting before she ran over to the couch, smiling widely.

Momo blinked before walking towards Hitsugaya, seeing him frown.

"Hi Shiro-chan. I thought I'd visit you today." Momo said, smiling.

"Hinamori, I have paperwork to do. Don't you have the same duties." Hitsugaya said, signing paperwork.

"But I wanted to visit you." Momo complained, frowning.

"Just go back to the fifth division bed wetter Momo." Hitsugaya said, not looking up.

'That's not nice.' Yuri thought, frowning before she continued her the large amounts of paperwork.

"Don't call me that!" Momo complained, frowning.

"Whatever." Hitsugaya muttered, looking for another form.

"Why are you so mad Shiro-chan?" Momo asked.

"It's Captain Hitsugaya!" Hitsugaya said, frowning.

Yuri giggled before standing up, missing the blush that Hitsugaya gave her.

"I'll give you two a moment." Yuri said, bowing before she closed the door behind herself.

She giggled again when she heard the two people in the room yell at each other. She jumped and clapped her hands before running towards the exit of the building. She just got out of duty!

"I don't have to do paperwork~!" Yuri sang, smiling widely.

She continued running until, intent on getting something to eat before she had to do the paperwork again. She smiled brightly. Maybe she should go get some watermelon!

-:-

Yuri smiled as she walked down the street, towards the tenth division. She had a whole bunch of watermelon, and patted her stomach with a content sigh. She stared at her stomach for a second and tilted her head, still walking.

'What if I had a baby.' Yuri thought, her face heating up.

But then that would mean she has to... She shook her head, trying to get the thought out of her mind. She couldn't even consider it. She was still considered a girl, since she acted childish. She pouted. She was able to act mature, sometimes. She looked up in thought, wondering if Rio or Shun would ever get pregnant. Probably not. Shun would complain about having to watch a child, or brat in her opinion, and Rio would never want to be with anybody, ever since...

"Would they want a baby?" Yuri muttered, tilting her head to the side.

She didn't know. It was hard to read their emotions. She looked up, smiling widely before running towards the tenth division. She still had paperwork to do.

'Are you okay, master?'

'What do you mean?' Yuri thought, quirking an eyebrow.

'That your Captain doesn't notice you.'

'Notice? What do you mean?'

She heard an aggravated sigh.

'I will speak to you tomorrow.'

'Wait! What did you mean?!'

She pouted when she didn't get an answer. Her zanpakutos spirit was mean. She seemed to get mad when she didn't know what she was talking about. She ran into the division, taking her sandals off before running towards the office, seeing that she stayed away too late, since it was dark out. She opened the door, bowing in apology.

"I'm sorry Captain Hitsugaya! I was eating and I didn't realize the time!" Yuri yelled.

"Hikari."

Yuri blinked before looking up, seeing the Captain give her an emotionless look.

"Ah, yes Captain Hitsugaya?" Yuri asked.

Hitsugaya looked at her, making her feel uncomfortable. Did she do something wrong?

"You may go and retire for the night." Hitsugaya said, looking back down and continued to sign paperwork.

"But... I'm supposed to do the paperwork." Yuri said.

"Lieutenant Matusmoto will do the paperwork. Now, go and sleep." Hitsugaya said, frowning.

"Yes, sir." Yuri said sadly, closing the door.

What was wrong with him? Yuri furrowed her eyebrows before she walked away from the office, deep in thought. Did the lieutenant from before say something to him? She frowned. She continued walking, shrugging. It was her Captain's problem, not hers.
