More Romantic Bleach Drabbles

Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, not to me.

Author's Note: Wow. Two days in a row! HaHa! I have a few of these pre-written, finally. It's great to be ahead of the game! Another odd crack pairing. It was also awkward to write. I blame Chad this time.

Dedicated to Nicky Eira!

Many thanks to my readers and reviewers Nnoitra-Szayel, capslock-nanao, brendabond, StarPrincess999, darklover, and ZareenBlack!

11. Shape

The young man towered over Soifon as he listened to her speak. He was joining her division and she had felt the need to visit him in person. She heard that he'd had some unique abilities while we had been alive. After he had died in the final battle with Aizen Sousuke, he had been convinced to become a Shinigami by his friends, the former ryouka who had exposed Aizen and then went on to defeat him.

"Do you understand everything I just old you, Sado?" Soifon demanded at the end of her speech.

Sado just nodded He was not one for words even on his more talkative days.

"Good. With your experience you could easily become a seated officer in a matter of months," Soifon continued and beckoned for him to follow her. The gentle giant did just that. He followed her around the 2nd Division as she gave him the standard tour.

"Thank you, Taichou," Sado said at the end of it all.

"I was told you don't like fighting. Why were you so adamant about joining this division?" Soifon asked in response.

Sado barely batted an eye at her question. "Yoruichi-san told me about you. She told me that despite your shape, you're scary and strong," he replied.

Soifon's cheeks turned pink at the mention of her former mentor and taichou. "Of course I am. I'm the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukido," she told him.

Sado nodded. "Yoruichi-san also told me you would benefit from my kindness."

Soifon just stared up at Sado, a little surprised by his words. Yoruichi was still looking out for her even after leaving her a hundred years ago.

"I wanted to meet you, too, after hearing Yoruichi-san sing your praises. I wanted to meet the Soifon that's been gone for a hundred years," he admitted.

"You... what?" Soifon murmured.

"Like you, people look at me and expect one thing but I am the opposite. Taichou, you look scary sometimes and so do I. But I am a kind person, just like you used to be," Sado explained.

Soifon just nodded. Her new recruit certainly was interesting. "Don't expect me to start swooning over you just because you said a few kind things about me!" she told him gruffly.

Sado just nodded. He had all the time in the world to be with her and get to know her, after all.
