Why does almost everything said have three periods in front of it? ...I use that to implement awkwardness amongst the speaker and the spoken to. The italics are for when a word is stressed. Unless it has 'these' around it, then it's a 'thought'. Bold, ALL CAPITAL or BOTH mean yelling and emphasis. Important things are underlined.
I often get worried that no one knows this stuff, even though I bet almost everyone does. Just for reference, don't be afraid, go back to reading Harry Potter or whatever. Or listening to Fallout Boy. Fallout Boy is good.
Also, on the note of Byakuya, it seems the more I write for him the more of a complete softy he becomes.
It's sad, really.
One more thing! Inarizushi is a type of sushi, I think it's sweet or something. Google it if you want more details. Onigiri is a ball of rice wraped in nori(seaweed) and it often has Ume( plum) inside of it. It's better then it sounds, mark my words.

"Good morning."
"Yeah."
Conversations between the sixth captain and the sixth vice captain where lucky to be this long.
The Kuchiki house had a total of fifteen maids working, constantly, in its residence. The Kuchiki only employed maids with no spiritual power whatsoever because, as Renji had put it when Rukia had told him this, they where too cheep to feed them. When a maid did turn out to have spiritual powers, they where promptly fired.
And that was the case with Fudokawa Akiko. When Byakuya found young Akiko levitating a bento box into her employer's knapsack, she was soon unemployed.
But, the real problem lay ahead.
Where in the world was Byakuya going to get another cook?
"Matsumoto-san says, " Renji popped his head into Byakuya's office, "that if you don't come down for lunch in the next three seconds, she is going to kill you." Renji paused, "End message."
Byakuya raised an eyebrow. Matsumoto Rangiku had recently gotten in the mind set that if every single captain wasn't at the lunch room at the same time, the world would end, "Tell her I'm not coming to lunch today."
Renji disappeared. He was quite good at that, except for the string of curses that escaped often from his mouth, this time along the lines of 'Freakin' Matsumoto, what do I look like, a freakin' messenger?'
In a few minuets he was back.
"She says she really is going to kill you." Renji's head slid back inside the sliding-doors.
"... Tell her I'm not coming to lunch." Byakuya was starting to anger. For an emotional rock, this was a daring and accomplished feat.
"I already did."
Few moments passed in silence.
"...do you even have a lunch?" Said Renji, spotting the absence of a bento-shaped lump in Byakuya's knapsack (Or as Renji and Rukia liked to call it behind Byakuya's back, a 'Man-purse').
"...No."
"...Why?"
"I fired our cook." Byakuya said this in a totally normal way, but Renji found it preposterous.
"You can't cook food at all, can you?"
"...No."
"Did you try to get Rukia to cook for you?" Renji had learned long ago not to laugh about such things in his captain's presence.
"Have you ever tried her cooking?"
"...Good point." Renji nodded, then stood and walked away.
He was back in a few seconds.
"...Well, are you coming?"
"I said I'm not going to lunch." Byakuya had always hated repeating himself.
"And I though I made it perfectly clear I was going to buy lunch for you." Renji added.
"So you think I can't buy lunch for myself?" Renji often wondered how Byakuya could turn anything into an insult.
"I know you can't, your stupid pride stops you," Renji really had no room to talk; His pride was the dumbest in a four mile radius, "So I'll buy for you."
Byakuya's anger lever shot from eight to twelve in five seconds. Renji knew this because a large vein was pulsing on his forehead.
"Consider it an IOU for the last time you kicked my ass." Renji's stupid pride hurt.
"Fine." Byakuya's temper vein subsided.
They walked into the hall, towards the lunch room.
"I like Inarizushi." Byakuya stated.
"DON'T GET COCKY!" Renji's stupid pride bled.
"So... why did you buy my brother lunch?" Eating Onigiri in a tree, Rukia asked Renji a question.
"...If Matsumoto-san killed him," Renji, eating Onigiri on a lightly closer-to-the-ground branch of the same tree, replyed, "I could not fight him."
Rukia knew that if Renji was going to use a lie as pale as that, she was never going to get the real answer to her question.
"Good morning."
"Yeah."
Conversations between the sixth captain and the sixth vice captain where lucky to be this short.
It's along the lines of Conversation Topics but I'm not quite as disappointed. Yippie!
Please tell me what you think!
If you review, Renji will buy you lunch, too. But that doesn't make you 6th squad captain, oh, no.
Renji: What do you think I am, made of money?
