2nd chapter:
"Lethal"

__________________________________________________________________

He felt bad about this.

The rokubantai taichou was never paranoid. But this event put him unease.
He chose not to tell anyone about the "little present" he received from an unknown person. Instead he decided to conduct his own investigation; maybe it was just a prank. So making a fuss over it was un-called for.

'Are you sure you didn't want to tell anyone about this??'
A female voice said.

"Yes, I'm certain" he replied. His zanpakutou was one proud spirit so for her to be showing concern is rare.

'Your too proud…always…'

"Just defending my pride, this issue is not worth my time, I'm sure it was just a sick joke." He said coldly

'I don't know Byakuya, but I don't feel good about this…'
Her tone seemed upset

"Are you worried? Senbonzakura?" he said while raising his eyebrows. Well, this is definitely rare, Sen is worried. The last time she was like this was when Shinsou and Gin Ichimaru stabbed him.

'Of course I' am, you've been sent by heart, a human heart!!' she said with a raised tone.

"Don't concern yourself with something so petty" he said softly

'Do what ever you want' She replied coldly before her voice vanished.

"Arigatou, I'll be fine…Senbonzakura," he said with eyes closed

'Hmmp…'

He then picked the object that was sent to him and wrapped it in a white towel. He then cast a kidou on it and stored it in his safe. He might be able to use it later on.

He then headed for his office, the 6th division squad.

--------------------------oOo--------------------------

"Soi Fon- taichou, are you saying that there was a murder last night?"
An elderly voice said.

"Hai, Soutaichou, my team had found a lot of blood in the riverside" the petite captain reported.

"Blood? Where is the body?" he inquired

"We haven't found any." The petite captain reported

"Maybe it was just an animal," the old man calmly stated, maybe it was just an injured wild beast. There isn't enough evidence to conclude that there was murder.

"The blood was a match for human DNA, I sent some samples to the fourth" she said

"Hmmm, no need to be alarmed yet, but I want you to look into it more deeply, Soi Fon –taichou, and tell me everything that you might have discovered" he added

"You will not call for a captains meeting?" she inquired. It's been decades, and this is a first time that there was a murder that didn't concerned Hollows.

"No need, the matter is completely under our control," he said with confidence.

But he is wrong, dead wrong.

--------------------------oOo--------------------------

The sixth squad captain is quietly sipping his tea while taking a break from his paper work. His useless lieutenant, still nowhere in sight.
A familiar reiatsu has snapped him out of his train of his thought.

"Hachi-bantai-Fukutaichou, Ise Nanao, Sir, I've come to deliver some paperwork" she said clearly from behind Byakuya's oak door.

"Enter "he said in his usual monotone

Nanao opened the door quietly and bowed her head respectfully.
"Good Morning" she said still not raising her head

"Morning, what do you have for me?" he asked casually

Ise- fukutaichou looked ahead and looked at the noble's face.
What she saw made her blush deeply.

The usual Kenseikan adorning his hair is nowhere in sight, his perfectly straight and silky hair falling around his very handsome face, making him more handsome than ever.
As if he felt that something had caught the lieutenant eyes, he touched his head sexily that made the lieutenant blush even more.

"Is there something in my face?" he asked the very red cheeked lieutenant.

"No--- Si—rr, Kuchiki- taichou, Sir" she answered nervously.

"Give it to me" he said calmly

"I'm sorry? What is?" Ise asked
'What did he want from me?' she thought with a blush

"Paperwork, the paperwork, Ise -fukutaichou" he said.

'This girl is always nervous when we are alone, I wonder why' he thought.

'So dense………'
A female voice whispered

"Oh, my deepest apologies sir" she said embarrassed

"Don't mind it, when do you need it?" he asked while taking the folder from her hand.

"By the end of this day sir, its just a form that needs you signature, -- Sir" she said stumbling on the last word.

"I'll just have it delivered to your squad," he said while opening the folder. Feeling her stares and feeling that she is somewhat frozen on that spot he said,

"Yes, Lieutenant? Anything else?

"Nothing, Uhmm—I'm – going to take my leave" she said and hurried to the door closing it behind her. After she was out, Byakuya could hear her running away. Upon hearing this he rolled his eyes and continued working.

--------------------------oOo--------------------------

Someone died, a "simple present" for him.

Blood was already spilled.

"I love you Byakuya," she whispered on a picture she held in her hand.

She loved him, very much.

So much that it had elevated to adoration making it lethal.
