A/N: Look at the back of the chapter. :D

FlashBack from previous chapter:

"Taichou... Taichou I...-"

"Think about it, Nanao chan. And get some rest. Oyasumi(Good Night)." Shunsui walked Nanao to the office door, and shut the door tight behind him. Nanao was confused, but nevertheless, she returned to her quarters.

"What do you want, Nanao?" Shunsui's vioce was echoing in Nanao's dream, she really didn't know how to answer.

The next morning, Nanao went to the office as usual, with the same stern look she had. Everyone was in the office, being as busy as ever.

"Ise fukutaichou! The paperwork... it wasn't me.." The 21th seat rushed over to Nanao and pointed to the stack of overdued paperwork on her table. Nanao was furious, she regretted trusting her taichou to the paperwork, now it's very overdued. But as she walked over to her table, they were all signed and placed neatly at the side of her table; furthermore, by Kyouraku taichou.

"Ise fukutaichou, i came in the morning and these were just lying there, could someone forged Taichou's signature?" Nanao shook her head and ordered the 21th seat back to her work. Nanao was touched, Shunsui had kept his promise. But he was not found in the office, where could he be? Nanao set off in search of her taichou.

"Hey, Nanao!" Rangiku called out as Nanao walked out of the office.

"Hey, Nanao. I heard that your division is exchanging with 13th division.."

"Yah, and so?" Nanao stopped infront of Rangiku.

"Jyuushiro taichou eh? Lucky you! You've got the man u lo-" Nanao covered Rangiku's mouth.

"Okay, fine. Now there's a chance to get him, Nanao. Unfortunately, i've got Byakuya.. I wonder how tough it's gonna be for me.. Nanao, you and your Jyuu-chan could go out to the hotsprings and have your fantasy... or you and him could stay in the office and complete your paperwork TOGETHER and maybe something would happen-" Rangiku laughed, Nanao was blushing like mad.

"Stop it Rangiku. I've got something to tell you, but not now. I got to go look for Kyouraku Taichou. See ya later." Nanao shunpo away from Rangiku. Nanao went to every possible place that Shunsui could have gone to, but she didn't find him; soon, she gave up and went back to the office. To her surprise, Ukitake was there.

"Aaa, Ise fukutaichou, you're back." Ukitake smiled.

"Gomen nasai(Sorry) !! I went to look for Kyouraku taichou." Nanao looked down, regretting that she shouldn't have went out.

"Aaa.. I just came over to see how are you preparing for next week's exchange... I see, you're well prepared eh? I look forward to working with you... Everyone knows that Ise fukutaichou's a very hardworking person." Ukitake continued to smile to Nanao, making Nanao blush.

"You flattered me, Jyuushiro taichou. I look forward to working with you too." Nanao tried not to blush as much but to no avail.

"Saa... well, so i'll see you next time. Jya ne(later/goodbye)." Ukitake smiled and went off.

Nanao smiled to herself. She was looking forward to working with Ukitake, but she haven settle the problem with Shunsui. Maybe she could just forget about what happened the previous night and get on the her life as per normal. But Nanao must make sure Shunsui doesn't tell Ukitake about it, if not, Ukitake would think she loves Shunsui. But is that the truth? Nanao was confused, yet determined to prevent Ukitake from knowing the incident.

Later that night, Shunsui came back, all drunken and sleepy looking. No one was in the office except Nanao.

"Taichou?! Why are you here at such a time?" Nanao stood up from her seat and walked up to Shunsui.

"Nanao chan... My Nanao chan... Don't go... Don't leave me..." Shunsui mumbled as he sat right in the middle of the office.

"Taichou? What are you talking about? Taichou? Don't sit on the floor, take a seat on the chair. Taichou?" Nanao was abit confused over Shunsui's actions and words.

"Nanao chan, onegai(i beg you)... Don't go... Don't leave me... I need you..."
