A/N: I'm updating because i have nothing esle to do. I'm gonna rush about here as i'm running out of inspiration. So i thought of closing the story before a major or a minor writers' block come over me. ARGH.
FlashBack:
"The exchange's next week, what am i gonna do? I'm so looking forward to working with Jyuushiro Taichou! Yet, what am i gonna do with Kyouraku Taichou? What am i gonna do?" Nanao said to herself.
It was considered early; usually Nanao would return to her quarters at about one or two in the morning; yet today she returned at about eleven! All thanks to Shunsui and his promise that night. She wanted to rest, yet she couldn't get things off her mind. Nanao wanted to go and work with Ukitake, and if something really happens between them; would it upset Shunsui, and spoil the friendship between Ukitake and Shunsui?
"Should i go for the exchange?" ...
Note: The day before the exchange.
"Ise fukutaichou!! We're all ready for the exchange! And we wont disgrace 8th division! Tomorrow, you can go to 13th division at ease!" All the people in the office said as Nanao walked into the office.
"Hai, arigato. Minna san, get back to your work now!" Nanao said as she walk up to her desk. There was a card. Neatly place above the paperwork she needed to clear for the day. Nanao took out the card and asked a passing by 13th seat if he had any idea who gave it.
"No, Ise fukutaichou. I don't know about it. But i think i saw a 8th seat put it there."
And Nanao went back to her table. Carefully she opened the envelope and took out the card; it was white in colour, with a pink flower printed on the top right hand corner, it looked really nice. Nanao wondered who could it be. She opened the card and found a necklace inside. The chain itself was white in colour, and linked to the chain was a pink coloured sakura flower shaped crystal. There wasn't any words written on the card. Who could it be? White represents Ukitake; yet the pink sakura represents Shunsui. Or could it be someone esle? But why would someone give her such a thing, and not say why or write his/her name?
Nanao just realised that there was a word engraved on the sakura crystal, 'Sakura'. Could this be one of Rangiku's prank? Or some one purely gave it to her out of love?
"Sakura-sama..." Nanao whispered into thin air. Whoever that gave Nanao this, must have a motive.
Nanao kept the necklace close to her and often smiles to herself whenever she thought of the necklace and her 'sakura-sama'.
Tomorrow's the exchange, Nanao was clearing to clear all the overdue paperwork as she knew that Sentaro and Kiyone would not be able to handle all those paperwork. Just as Nanao dug her head into her work, a 3rd seat knocked on her desk.
"Ise fukutaichou, Jyuushiro taichou request your presence now; he's at the front gate."
"Why didn't he come in?" Nanao thought Rangiku was pranking on her.
"I dont know, he insisted you to come out."
"Oh well, then you can tell Rangiku that i'm not stupid!" Nanao was frustrasted with Rangiku, as she was fooled before.
"What made my future exchange fukutaichou so mad?" Came a voice and a soft laughter followed. Nanao sretched her neck forward to look who is it.
It was Ukitake. OMG! He said MY future exchange fukutaichou!!! MY!! Nanao thought to herself.
"Aaa... Jyuu.. Jyuushiro Taichou, i.. i thought it was Rangiku's prank... Gomen ne." Nanao hung her head low, still blushing away.
Ukitake dismissed the 3rd seat back to her work and summon Nanao to follow after him. Nanao looked at the 3rd seat with a apologetic look on her face as she walked out of the office; she had wrongly shouted at the 3rd seat. And infront of Ukitake somemore!
"Ise Fukutaichou... How is it?"
"How... Is it?" Nanao and Ukitake eventually arrived at the garden behind Ukitake's quarters.
"I mean, are you looking forward? To tomorrow? The exchange i mean." Ukitake let out a soft laughter.
"Oh.. I'm looking very forward to the exchange!" Nanao tried to calm her senses.
"Oh, me too. Well, would you grace me an opportunity to invite you for a drink?" Ukitake spoke with elegance as it almost swept Nanao over her feet.
Nanao blushed and nodded her head; unable to look into Ukitake's eyes as it will invite further blushing. Ukitake invited her into his living room as he poured two cups of green tea and placed it on the glass table.
"Ise fukutaichou, i'm sure you have been to my division office and took a look at the operating and working system. Honestly, how do you find it?"
"Ha.. Hai.. Jyuushiro taichou. The 13 division has been hardworking and handling matters in the very good way so the problem has a solution right away..." Nanao smiled.
Jyuushiro then leaned in closed to Nanao and position his mouth a few centimeters away from Nanao's ears. Nanao was half surprised, half excited. And this was then when Shunsui charged in.
"Ukitake Found u finally..." And when Shunsui noticed Nanao and their distance, "with my Nanao chan..."
