Chapter 11- Chance encounters
A few years had gone by, Ryou had continuously came by to see the young fukutaichou. Byakuya soon locked Shiori away in her room for almost a month to keep the kitsune away from his precious daughter. It seriously failed miserably. Ryou had always found a way to snick into the manor to see the young Kuchiki heiress and always got out before her father could catch him.
"Oy vey.." Shiori sighed as she watched Ryou leave the manor, "I wish he would just listen for once and not come see me." She muttered, wondering why the older boy kept coming to see her. It was somewhat worried her a bit that Ryou's father was a traitor and he might take after his old man. Shiori sighed again as she shook the thought from her head.
"He's a fool." Byakuya said simply as he walked back into the manor. Tsubame bowed to him as he walked past her and a few other maids.
"Kuchiki-sama? Is Shiori-sama confined to her room for the rest of the month?" She asked, looking at her master's back. She received a simple nod from him. She bowed again and headed to the Hime's room, "Shiori-sama? Are you decent?" The maid asked as she knocked on the girl's door. She received a 'yes' from Shiori and walked in.
"I'm sorry, Shiori-sama. Your father has requested you stay in your room for the rest of the month." She said solemnly. Shiori nodded simply,
"Of course, he did. He doesn't want Ichimaru-taichou anywhere near me." The heiress replied, closing her eyes. Tsubame bowed her head to her as she exited the room, "Tsubame? Can you make me some tea, please?" She asked. The maid smiled,
"Of course, Shiori-sama." She then went to get the young fukutaichou her tea. After giving the Hime her beverage, Tsubame went to tend to the rest of her chores. So many things to get done for the maid, it always made her tired at the end of the day. Shiori had to think of a way to repay her for everything.
A few months had past and something unexpected had happened. The new Primera and Quinta were brought into the Head Captain's squad barracks for questioning. This was new . Ever since the Winter War had ended, the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo and who ever was left within Las Noches had a treaty with each other. Now the Advanced Team that was sent into the Hollow World had been found dead. The new Espada were to blame for now...
Reina Garcia, Ulquiorra's lone fraccion, now the new Primera and Kurosawa Rei, Yammy's lone fraccion, the new Quinta. Both seemed on edge by this and after being questioned were locked in one of the cells.
Shiori couldn't find out much from her father or her taichou.. or surprisingly nothing from Ryou. But the long week of keeping them locked up soon passed. Reina and Re returned home with a reborn Ulquiorra and Nel in her child form. How either one got there was a mystery, but Shiori wasn't worried about that, she was wandering through the Rukongai, looking as if she was searching for someone from the rooftops.
"Shiori-chan! Wait up!" A familiar voice called to her as a figure appeared behind her. Shiori looked over her shoulder to see Ryou smiling at her.
"What is it?" She asked, looking like her father at the moment. Ryou blinked in his own little way.
"Eh? Nothin's wrong, Hime-chan. And who are ya ta question a taichou? And wit' such a tone?" He smiled more, "Yer jus' a fukutaichou and a spoiled Kuchiki kid." He bent down a bit, amused at the height difference.
Shiori narrowed her eyes slightly, ignoring the 'spoiled Kuchiki kid' comment, "You told me to wait up, I was to assume that something was wrong, Taichou." Her snide comment didn't seem to affect the kitsune, "Why are you following me anyway, Kitsune-taichou?" She asked, none too thrilled about the older Shinigami stalking her into the Rukongai.
"Eh? Kitsune?" Ryou blinked. Where'd tha' come from? He thought.
"That's what I decided to call you, remember?" She told him. This earned a grin from Ryou.
"You're a crazy one, Kitsune." Shiori said, walking ahead of him, and looked over her shoulder, a small smile she only allowed people close to her to see. Ryou smiled,
"Why am I th' crazy one?" He asked.
"Because I said so." She smiled.
Their meeting soon ended shortly. Shiori's taichou had sent a Hell Butterfly to her and told her that he had an important errand for her to run. The girl sighed, "And just when I thought I was going to have the day off." She muttered, "Ja ne, Kitsune-taichou." She said, shun-po'ing to the squad barracks. Ryou sighed as he watched her leave. He then went to go see the new taichou of Squad 3, Nakamura Tsukiko before heading back to his barracks. He enjoyed getting her riled up. But his fellow taichou made him leave. Ryou sighed as he reached his squad barracks. He had to get his haori on since he wasn't wearing it at the moment, but just his shihakusho.
Shiori sighed as she made her way to Ryou's barracks, a pile of papers in her arms, "I swear if this some sick match making crap from Takuya-taichou to pair me with Kitsune, he's going to pay." She muttered to herself and let herself into the office, "Ki-Ichimaru-taichou?" She called out.
Ryou, who was getting his haori on, stumbled a bit as his sleeves of his haori and shihakusho got tangled up. He then tumbled out of his room and onto the floor a few feet away from Shiori. The young girl just blinked, unsure of what to say.
"Oh. Hello, Hime." I didn't expect ya ta be here. If I knew ya were coming, I would have gotten ready sooner." Shiori blinked,
"Right." She sighed, "Taichou had me bring these over. He says to have them signed by the end of the day." She told him as she sat the stack of papers on his desk and turned to leave.
"W-wait..! Hime! Help me!" Ryou whined, struggling to get free. Shiori sighed again and got the taichou free of his little predicament.
"There. I swear my taichou and squad members are conspiring against me.." She trailed off when she saw Ryou's wide smile,
"You know.. now that yer here, ya might as well help me fill the papers out." Shiori was about to protest, but sighed,
"Fine.." She sat the desk and started signing the papers. Ryou smiled, picking her up, set her in his lap as he sat in his chair,
"Wow, Hime! Yer jus' like a lil' kid!" He laughed.
"I am not a child, Kitsune!" Shiori exclaimed, forgetting to put his title at the end of his name.
"But yer jus' like a doll." He grinned.
"Kitsune!" She hissed. Ryou laughed as he grabbed a pen and rested his chin on her shoulder so he could see what he was doing. Shiori felt her cheeks heat up and hid her face behind her dark locks. The older male noticed this,
"Hime~ yer blushing." He teased. Shiori was about to protest when she heard footsteps getting closer to the office. She recognized them anywhere- they belonged to her father.
Shiori moved quickly out of Ryou's lap to where she was facing him, her back to the door,
"Remember, Ichimaru-taichou. The papers need to be signed before the end of the day." She told him just as her father entered. She bowed to her father and shun-po'd out of the barracks and back to her own, ready to pummel her squad for trying to pull such a foolish trick.
Back at Squad five barracks, Byakuya and Ryou were having a stare down. Ryou was the first one to speak,
"Wha' brings ya here, Kuchiki-san?" He asked. Byakuya narrowed his eyes,
"I heard you went near my daughter again." He said in his usual monotone. Ryou smiled,
"I can' help it if we have th' same path."
"I believe you can." Byakuya didn't enjoy the fact that the son of the traitor, Ichimaru Gin, was getting close to his precious daughter. He then turned away, walking to the door, and looked over his shoulder at the younger taichou, "And if you ever hurt Shiori, I will personally take you to the execution grounds and I will kill you myself."
"I wouldn' dream of hurtin' her." Ryou smiled widely.. and for a moment... Byakuya would have thought he was seeing Gin there instead of Ryou. He then left back to his own barracks.
Shiori had made it back to her squad barracks and literally scared the hell out of her squad members. She had a look in her eyes like the flames of hell were rising behind her. She headed straight for her taichou's office, ready to show him why people didn't mess with her and got away with it.
