Don't own Bleach and I wish I was a lawyer…..not

Chapter 4

After what could have been seconds, minutes or even hours, not that it matter since time hadn't really taken a hold of Rozsa, she found herself, with her chaperone outside an elaborate looking building with ornate carvings and a large garden.

"Ahh, we're here I take it Ichimaru-taichou," Rozsa asked sullenly, wishing she was back in the woodland, not outside some house after being whisked away.

"Mm, certainly. You're the second one I've dropped off here tonight…I do hope Kuchiki-taichou appreciates the favour." He replied with a smirk. "Two lowly ryokas dropped off in his very own garden, right outside of his squad house. But you aren't all that you seem girl, just like the other one. Pray tell, why can I sense your reiatsu so strongly when you are only ryokas and how did you each both know my name?" Still grinning, Ichimaru-san squatted down and waited for Rozsa's answer.

"Well…" she began, choosing her words carefully, "For some reason, or another, my friend and I, I think it's her anyway, ended up here," at this point, Ichimaru had to refrain himself from an unsightly snigger and he muttered something about dying. Realizing what Ichimaru was amused about, Rozsa glared at him before continuing. "I am not entirely sure why we have a strong reiatsu, unless we are some sort of shinigami or rather talented humans but we know your name because…" and she paused. Interested, Ichimaru motioned for her to continue but before she could go on, he suddenly moved to her side and stood in front of her with his haori partially covering her. He grinned at her before addressing the person now standing a couple of feet away.

"Ahh, Kuchiki-taichou. Amazing really, I found this ryoka wondering around in your garden. Quite coincidental wouldn't you say…?" After sensing that the person was no longer a threat, Ichimaru-san slightly lowered his haori so that Rozsa could be half seen. Startled by her appearance, Kuchiki-san looked suspiciously at Ichimaru-san.

"This…this ryoka you have…she wasn't here before, this is to do with you isn't it?" Kuchiki demanded. Completely ignoring Kuchiki, Ichimaru-san looked down to Rozsa and said,

"This is Kuchiki Byakuya, or to you, Kuchiki-taichou. We will talk later ne?" and still grinning Ichimaru-san disappeared into the night.

Not sure what to do, Rozsa just stood there slowly taking in her surroundings. Her eyes went from left to right until they finally settled on the man behind her. She blushed slightly when she realized she was staring, glad that the darkness hid it.

"Uhh…" she began when he cut her off by asking,

"Girl, what is your name?"

"Rozsa" she replied. The European name slightly threw the man and he had trouble pronouncing it. It was only then that she realized how different the name sounded from what she was used to. Something twigged in the back of her mind but she refused to think about it.

"Roooww…rowwww zarr…" came the noises from Kuchiki-s mouth as he tried to pronounce the name.

"Uhhh….let's try something easier ne? ; Just call me umm…Rokai," she said slowly. Not even bothering to acknowledge that he heard what she just said, he promptly turned around and walked towards a door on the side of the building. Realizing that she was supposed to follow the taichou, she hurried along barely making a sound. He led her through a corridor. He stopped suddenly causing Rokai to invade his body space although not quite run into him much to his immense relief. Motioning with the barest flick of a hand, Rokai turned to the left and gently opened the door revealing a sleeping girl. After her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the room, she saw the sleeping girl was her friend. She silently walked up to her and promptly dropped on top of her.

"Namyuuuuu-chan!" Rokai said as she laughed happily, glad to see her friends was ok.

"Argghhhh….u broke my back…you…you…Rowwwwwzsaa……uhh…"

"Mm…easier to call me by my mIRC name ne, Rokai! "

"Yehh well, I have no idea, but your name…it sounds so weird now for some reason…" commented Namyu as she sat up fully awake now.

"Ahh…yeh…Namyu, you know where we are right, well, I guess that would mean we're talking in JAPANESE!...WHOOOO"

"WOW…I never thought about it like that," Namyu replied. "Lemme lemme lemme try something out! Um….SUSHI! Wee, I'm speaking in Japanese!" she said half ecstatic.

"Uhh Namyu, that isn't very Japanese, at least, we already knew that…OO" said Rokai, trying not to laugh while Namyu turned a bright shade of red. She was interrupted though much to her relief by a sound at the door. Unaware that Kuchiki-san was had been there the whole time, they were also greeted by another familiar face.

"Oh, Abarai-fukotaichou, Kuchiki-taichou…where did you find Rokai-chan?" asked Namyu. Kuchiki-san didn't bother replying while his vice just stood there rubbing his neck.

"I thought I heard something, so I cam to check," he simply stated. "Seems as if we have another visitor ne?"

"Curtesy of Ichimaru Gin," Byakuya said. He was about to turn around and leave when part of the cloth Abarai was wearing fell away to reveal a tattooed shoulder.

"Oo..sugoi! That's a lot of tattoos Abarai-fukotaichou…" Namyu whispered with large eyes. Half embarrassed half pleased Abarai-san laughed and lightly touched them. "But if you think that's a lot, you should see Rokai's tattoo, or rather tattoos!" she chimed. Both men stood there aghast with their eyes on Rokai as she shifted around uncomfortably. Shyly she looked up and smiled innocently hoping that would deter the two men from asking any questions, but to no avail.

"You…a girl…has TATTOOS!" Abarai-san almost exploded. "How is it though, that I don't see any of them?"

"Ohh…Rokai-chan, go show them! They'll be amazed!" said her friend.

"Uhh, I'm not sure if that is entirely appropriate Namyu ;;" she replied. "But I guess there is one at least which is not too bad…" She lifted up her hair and on the back of her neck there was a Chinese symbol. "It is the symbol for my family.." she began before Namyu interrupted with,

"Yer, her family clan!" Embarrassed, Rokai quickly dropped her hair and looked at the ground, not wishing to see the looks of disgust the men were giving her. Much to her surprise, and Namyu's and Abarai's, Kuchiki-san quietly spoke,

"If that is your family symbol, you should wear it with pride, not ashamedly…girl" With that, he left the corridor, presumably to his own quarters. After pointing out where the closet was that held a spare sleeping amt and a blanket, Abarai-san happily bid the two girls good night before also returning to his own sleeping quarters.

"Amazing isn't it…" Namyu whispered to her friend as they were dropping off to sleep.

"Mm, but I wonder…..I wonder why we really are here…." Her friend replied before dropping off into a fitful sleep.
