Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach! There... I admitted it.


He walked beside me and I felt myself become nervous as the forest area suddenly ended and buildings resumed. Panic was climbing up my throat threatening to completely stop me from breathing.

Byakuya watched me. Well no his eyes weren't really on me… But I could tell he somehow knew everything I was doing and that he felt as if I could bolt any second.

It was tempting.

But I had also wanted to go deep into the Seiretei from the moment I knew of it's existence. I stepped almost cautiously along the ground. Feeling anxious.

There were many of them. Soul reapers. All of them dressed in the same black uniform. Blending together.

No, every one of them stuck out. No uniform was the same. No soul reaper was the same. They all were special.

I wanted that…

Byakuya walked beside me. A certain aloofness mixed with intimidation made it so no one approached him or me for that fact. Only he could look so graceful carrying my beat up backpack.

The fact that no one approached him didn't mean people couldn't look. Oh boy and did they look. Mostly the girls. I saw lust in their eyes. The want for such a perfect man. Um. No. Correction. Arrogant asshole. In the rest I just saw respect for one of the greatest captains. He might be an asshole, but I had to give him some credit.

I was guessing that he was use to be stared at. I was also guessing people weren't usually as intent on it as they were today. I could see people stare at me and begin to talk.

I leaned over towards Byakuya. "Yeah this whole hide in plain site thing is kind of hard when you're a captain. Just saying," I whisper shouted.

He still didn't appear particularly interested. "Let them fall to their idle gossip. It should have no effect."

I glared at him. "Except my arrival will probably be known by everyone by the end of the day."

"By the end of the day they will be saying you have blonde hair and blue eyes. You should pay it no attention," he said, without even looking in my direction.

I huffed and glared at him some more. "Fine, since I have no choice anyway, we will be doing this the stupid way," I muttered.

"I don't understand why you continue to go on about this. Would you rather-"

"Oh no. Not the threats. I couldn't possibly take the threats," I began. You always knew what that tone of voice led to.

He finally looked at my direction. A frown on his face because I had interrupted him. He didn't say anything though. He just seemed overall confused by the approach I took to things. "You are different," he finally commented before looking back ahead of him,

... Different… Could that be consider a compliment… No. It had definitely been an insult.

"Thank you," I said smiling.

He said nothing.

I was amused by it just a little bit. Then I realized we were not heading towards his house, but the squad six area. "Where are we going?" I asked, my nervousness came into my voice despite my attempts to leave it out.

He looked over me for the second time. "Division six HQ."

I gave him a horrified look. "Why?" I asked.

"Paper work."

"Couldn't you just, I don't know drop me off at you house? I really don't think going into your division is good for my health," I said. I began to fidget and look around. My nervousness increasing.

"You believe I' would leave you alone in my house, unguarded?" He went back to not looking at me, but the disbelief was stated clearly.

Well no. That would be incredibly stupid. "Please?" I asked. I began to drag my feet along the ground.

He didn't respond to my begging.

"Can't you save the paper work for later?" I asked.

"I killed six people."

I tried his staring thing out. My eye trying to convey the, so what, feeling I currently had.

He glanced at me again. Incredulity was based in his eyes. "No, I can't."

"Such a stickler for the rules Byakuya Kuchiki." I could tell immediately that he didn't like me saying his first name. "You should break them once in a while."

He sighed. I was beginning to get to him I could tell. "The bodies needs to be retrieved Miyako," he said sounding like he was admonishing a child.

Relax Miyako. Relax. It's not like anyone is going to kill you. They would all be murdered themselves…. After I was dead… Which would kind of… Never mind. Never mind. Okay no one knows who I am. No one.

Panic had me once again in a choke hold.

Byakuya looked at me again. He sighed. "Come on Miyako." I looked at the doors looming ahead of me. The fact that he was using my name did absolutely nothing.

I might not have any actual bravery, but bravado had always been a specialty of mine. "Well let's get moving," I said finally. The words sounded as forced as they were in reality.

He was watching me closely again like I was some skittish deer. He followed behind me as I went through the door. The door actually led to a courtyard where several of the soul reapers were training.

I felt a sudden urge to join them, but then the pain in my head and leg reminded me that was stupid. It also reminded me that despite all of my training I had sucked. It wasn't that I wasn't good. I knew after years of training I had some skill, but I had no actual fighting experience.

Which is why I had sucked so bad. Sorry for the bad grammar.

I watched their movements with extreme interest. Another thing that I had wanted, but couldn't have. I had stopped to stare at them without even realizing it. I like the sound that rang through out the air when two weapons would meet.

"They graduated the academy a few weeks ago." It was Byakuya. He had stopped behind me, without me even realizing it.

"New recruits," I commented, still watching. There wasn't any playfulness in my voice this time.

Byakuya was staring at me again. Curiosity in his eyes. I could tell that it wasn't something he expressed often. "Yes."

I smiled a little to myself. "That's good," I said. Feeling like my father more at that moment than any other in my life. I shook my head of those thoughts. The more I thought about him, the higher chance of him finding me. Not that he was a bad person… He was aggravating, but nothing too bad. I just didn't like being on house arrest for the entirety of my life.

I began to walk towards the next pair of doors, my thoughts still on the new recruits. If I had graduated the Academy would my father had let me join a division? Probably not, but if he had… What division would I have join? The sixth… Symbolic of order and holds fast to the rules.

Only if I planned on corrupting them.

He was still watching me. I could feel it. I tried my best to school my expression. I had enough diplomatic training to know how to, but it had never been an ability that I chose to exercise.

"You still have interests in becoming a soul reaper?" he asked suddenly.

I hadn't expected him to try to make conversation with me. My expression wasn't controlled well. I smiled brightly, but it faded into something sadder. "Interests sure, but I don't really entertain the idea as much as I did when I was younger. It's an impossibility."

"You have the skill set."

Was he encouraging me? Impossible. "Perhaps," I said. I was feeling oddly deflated. I hated talking about this subject. Hated with a special passion.

He raised a single eyebrow at me. Which said a lot about my current behavior.

I temporarily flipped off my bad mood. I could sulk when I was by myself. Being all sad, mopey, and oh poor me would do nothing at this point. "So! How longs this going to take?"

"I'll be taking most of it home."

He never answered my questions. I just stared at him.

"Not long."

"Good because I'm not all that comfortable-"

He walked away before I could even finish talking. Look at what a fast learner Captain Kuchiki was.

I walked a little bit more than quickly behind him. I caught up with him easily enough, muttering, "asshole," under my breath. I saw a few people walking the halls. They all glanced at me. I smiled back and waved.

Every time I did something. The person would glance at Byakuya before smiling tentatively at me. I snorted after the third time it happened. "Wow Captain you and your division have such a loving relationship. I could really feel how they are too intimidated to approach you. It's a nice set up you have going on."

This time his glance was approaching a glare. Improvement, if I do say so.

I hummed to myself ignoring his stare as we walked down the hall. Next came an office like area. Several Soul Reapers were sitting at their desks doing what ever it was that they did. I found myself excited by the idea of being in the office. It was a lot different than secretly looking in.

Byakuya walked past the desk and stopped in front of the one next to the door. I looked past him to see a man sleeping at his desk. A desk that was mounted with papers. Tons… Of papers. For some reason… I didn't think that was a good thing.

Byakuya sighed. "Abarai."

Immediately the man looked up in a startled fashion. Renji Abarai, Byakuya's Lieutenant. He had bright red hair that was held back by some kind of hair tie. Tattoos that covered his forehead and much of the rest of his body as well. Brown eyes blinked for a moment in confusion before he regains his senses.

"Captain -"

"You were suppose to be assessing the new members of the division," there was that reprimanding tone again.

He looked slightly abashed. "Well I was taking a break…"

"A break?"

He nodded his head.

"Learn to take responsibility. I expect you to resume the assessment in thirty minutes."

And when Byakuya decides the conversation ends. It ends. He walked towards his door. I looked at Renji and smiled brightly. There was brief confusion, but he smiled. It wasn't the usual tentative smile, but a mix of cockiness and too much energy. I laughed under my breath.

I followed Byakuya through the door. His office was pretty empty… There was a large desk in the center. Bookshelves lined one wall. A painting of a sakura tree was on another. The last wall held windows looking out to the courtyard.

I walked over to the window continuing to watch the new guys in practice.

"You have directed a lot of interest towards the recruits," he said sitting at the desk.

"It's very interesting," I said back.

There was no more conversation between the two of us. I listened to the sound of writing as I looked out the window. It was probably only ten minutes until the door opened.

I turned around to see Shunsui Kyoraku Captain of… Division... Eight! Captain of Division Eight. I was hoping my memory served me correctly. I glanced over at him again. Wavy brown hair, gray eyes, and a… pink kimono with a straw hat…Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was right on this.

Byakuya cast a glance in my direction when he entered. His expression revealed nothing, but I had a feeling he didn't want me to be seen.

So, of course. I plaster a huge smile on my face. "Captain Kyoraku it's an honor to meet you," I say walking towards him. I held my hand out, the bright smile still plastered on my face.

I couldn't be sure, but I think Byakuya muttered, "Unbelievable," under his breath. What can I say? I enjoy messing with him.

Captain Kyoraku immediately smiled at me. It was a flirtatious smile, which could be appreciated after Byakuya's indifference towards my appearance. "I didn't know you had such lovely lady in your division Byakuya," he said still smiling.

Byakuya definitely glared at me when Captain Kyoraku wasn't looking… I was certain of it… "We don't, she is briefly paying me a visit."

I ignored him. "Thank you Captain Kyoraku," I said a teasing smile on my face. I was beginning to enjoy myself.

"A woman as beautiful as you should call me Shunsui."

I giggled according to cue. Acting was one of the things I was good at. "Why-"

I was interrupted. "Miyako, wait outside until I am done conversing with Captain Kyoraku," he said.

I was now amused however. I pouted. "But I was having so much fun though," I said ending with a smile.

He didn't say anything. He just got up and escorted me outside. Okay apparently I didn't have a choice in anything. Shunsui watched the whole thing with great humor.

"Abarai keep an eye on her," Byakuya said before shutting the door.

I glared at the door and looked back at Lieutenant Abarai. He was now watching my movements with a mixture of suspicion. Apparently the fact that I needed to be watched was a bad thing.

"So you're going to be babysitting me?" I asked on a sigh. This entire day had gone terribly wrong. Just a quick look at the Seretei that's all I wanted, but now I was stuck in the sixth division HQ being looked after by some Lieutenant.

"That's what Captain Kuckiki said." He was now unresponsive. Come on, Byakuya didn't say go watch the girl, she may be a treasonous villain. With this attitude he might as well had.

"Joy," I commented dully and sat in the chair opposite of his. "How long do these meeting things run?" I asked.

"It depends. I don't know."

Oh okay then. I swung my feet from the chair. "Well this is a lot of fun. Are you just going to sit there? You should really do your paper work. You seem to have a lot of it," I said.

"If you knew what was good for you-"

"What do you think they are talking about?" I asked. I didn't like being threaten… So the best way to avoid that was to not let them complete the threat.

He stared at me for a long moment, brows furrowed. "I don't know what they are talking about," he finally said.

I nodded thoughtfully. "Right. Top secret stuff."

"Why are you here?" he asked, curiously.

I grinned. "Oh I'm Byakuya's friend," I responded cheerily. Upon the discovery that the chair spun I took advantage of it.

He glanced at the closed door and then back at me. "Right…"

I scrunched up my face. "I don't know what that was suppose to mean, but I should probably be offended."

"Yeah. Something like that," he said, eyes narrowed. So the friendship thing hadn't flown.

I got up from the chair, which caused him to tense. Really? Did he think Byakuya would let a dangerous criminal wander around the office. "So how are the new recruitments?"

He smiled. "They are good I guess. Show a lot of potential."

I smiled. "Like becoming as good as you and the captain?" I asked.

"Now, I don't know about that," he responded, good naturally.

"Oh none of them have challenged you yet," I responded. I loved to wreak havoc and I could sense something around the corner.

"No they are all too afraid." He puffed himself up. "Which they should be. Though it's kinda boring."

I nodded. "Understandably so." I twirled a piece of hair around my finger. "What about me?" I asked.

He looked at me his smile temporarily vanishing. "What about you?"

"If I challenged you, would you fight me?" I said smiling. The idea of fighting a lieutenant was an exciting one. I had failed with Byakuya, but that didn't mean his lieutenant wasn't in my range. Plus, things were moving too slowly, a fight would move it along. Renji had bankai if my memory served me correct. Could I beat him with just my shikai…

I never got my answer.

"Miyako," Byakuya called out as a reprimand. Him and the other captain were standing in the doorway. Byakuya was giving me a menacing look so I backed away from my desk.

"What?" I said. "I was just talking to him."

"You were trying to get him to participate in your idea of a fight. Without proper-"

"Please spare me," I responded. "How long do I have to know you before the urge to shoot myself overwhelms me?"

Shunsui was laughing to himself as he headed towards the door. "See you soon Miyako," he said before exiting.

I waved back happily as an answer.

Byakuya was still staring at me. "It takes two to have a conversation Captain," I said in a mocking tone.

He contemplated talking to me, but turned to Renji. "You should have known not to engage her in conversation," he said on a sigh. He placed some new papers on the top of the growing pile. "It is important that you finish these immediately."

"Yes, captain," he said grudgingly. He looked at me a glare in his eyes. "Is she a criminal?" he said motioning towards me.

Consider me outraged.

"Probably not," Byakuya muttered to himself. "Get that done and monitor the training session. I'm leaving for today."

And then Byakuya walked towards the door with the full expectations that I'd follow him. I almost didn't… Almost.
