Yellow clashed with Grey, there was something there and Ichigo paused to drink on his Tea to the scene there was this air around them he knew he shouldn't intervene so he stayed silent looking at the small capsule on his hand he'd kill Yuzu if this didn't work standing to get more Tea the other 2 broke out of their trance giving a nod of agreement Tessai watched him "wish me luck if this doesn't work you can kill me after I murder my sister"

"If you wish it so" the man commented he split the capsule in half, it had no scent, no taste so they wouldn't notice an hour later he found himself glaring at the ex-Captains who kept shifting he stood mumbling a 'just get on with it' they turned to him as he waved leaving the Shop he heard a tumbling and a gasp soon after he smirked "it seems you will not have to go with the complication" he jumped at Tessai's voice

"Yeah, guess not don't let those kids around them" he shoved his hands in his pocket "Night" he added as he vanished into the alley

Yuzu shuffled back and forth it took all their self-control to not laugh since they were in a Captain's Meeting the girl was in the middle of looking like she was given her favorite candy and worrying, "do you accept or not Kurosaki Yuzu?" Yamamoto questioned "Mayuri Kurostuchi left no Successors since the Founder of the Research and Development was Urahara Kisuke the man trusts you can inherit the Captain's Position" there were Captains who disagreed because Mayuri had to been dragged down with his failed experiment the whole 12th Division was destroyed leaving few survivors

They had to built from scratch, what she wanted to know was: "what in the World was the man thinking? Yes there's a risk in Researching but, that was clearly overdoing it, to have died and killed Hundreds of Shinigami in the Process was pretty ridiculously stupid" she mumbled under her breath though it was heard there were several nods of agreement from all Captains "I accept" that's how she found herself staring into the rubble with an expression of disdain she had her Shinigami Shihakusho and black fingerless gloves otherwise nothing

Working alone was better since the surviving members were still recovering in the 4th, after hours of working she had cleared out the rubble when footsteps approached "my oh my" she knew that voice anywhere "looks like you need help Yuzu-chan~" a voice chirped she turned back with a smile "Captain Commander informed me of the situation starting from scratch sounds hard but, since you weren't used to Mayuri's way of working rather mine it'll be easy" he commented with a thoughtful hum "I'll help for the first few weeks then you have to do it on your own"

She stared at him as if he were worth worshiping "Hai!", as said he stuck around for a few weeks to help her set up equipment and not helping her organize more like rather he was providing the goods and leaving the work to her, the Shinigami would be commenting on how he was the one doing the work

He laughed at their face "don't be so naïve" he stated more seriously "I'm making it harder on her, you have no idea how things are going if you step inside you'll clearly see that she's doing all the work I have no obligation to aid Sereitei I'm Exiled after all" he took a puff at his pipe leaning back on the roof of the newly built 12th Division he had to say it was pretty impressive he was sure the poor girl would collapse soon she wasn't getting any rest and going up and down her energy would be gone "why have you been around Kazuki-kun?"

He sensed movement beside him "I have no reason to explain myself to the likes of you, after all you're and Exile" he chuckled looking to a side a young man purple long hair kept to a side pony tail most of his bangs falling over his left eye as the rest covered part of his right blue narrowed eyes looking into the distance

"How cruel of you" he sat up "what exactly happened between you and Yuzu-chan you seemed awfully attached" he remarked lightly "more like you're protecting her is it possible you're-"

"Kisuke!" he pouted looking at the approaching woman "oh? Kazuki-chan look at you all grown up" Yoruichi stated standing on front of the teen "you were up to here when I last saw you" she had her hand to her breasts his eyes narrowed further he was in Shinigami Garb with a thin white Heirloom around his neck with a black Haori his Zanpakuto at his side "by the way Kisuke how are things going here?" she asked more serious

He shrugged "I haven't been inside after bringing the equipment" he answered with a shrug "I may be the Founder but, Yuzu-chan is the Captain now" he stated carelessly 'cruel' was going through the surrounding Shinigami mind yellow eyes narrowed

"I'll go check things out, knowing her she'd be like you passed out in the pile of work" he laughed waving her off when she was gone he turned to the Noble with a piercing gaze.

Yuzu eyes widened as she turned walking side by side with Byakuya she had been in the Kuchiki Manor for some time now and had met various Nobles of the Clan there was a particular one that had gained her attention who happened to be the same injured man leaning on the wall for support "how unsightly" before she could say anything the young man entered his room looking up at grey orbs he saw the question "do as you wish" she gave a nod

The door slid open after knocking "Kuchiki-sama let me tend to your injury" the person scoffed refusing "I will use force necessary" she added as she kneeled on front of him

"Get lost girl" he stated eyes cold "all you do is try and help you will not receive anything in return"

"I do not want anything in return" she stated her eyes flickering to the rather bad wound her eyes watered "I just want you to live" she whispered wiping her tears "you can call me trash, Human, low class scum there's nothing I haven't heard but, I will be taking care of that wound" her teary eyes set into determined he watched her before sighing

"Do whatever you like" her face lit up. Kazuki sat on his mat when the door opened not bothering to look to know who it was he watched the Garden with cold eyes "you can leave now"

"Ie" she spoke softly "you haven't been eating properly, not unless I know you'll eat your meal I will not leave"

"Why are you so stubborn girl?" he asked her hands were clutching the clothing of her Hakama

"Because I want you to live" she whispered

"You'll destroy your life if you hopelessly try"

"So be it" his eyes widened "I'll try to make you live but, If I can't and live a miserable and unsightly life then so be it" he sighed blinking

"I'll eat you may leave" she looked up before giving a nod leaving he ran a hand through his hair "impossible" he mumbled. Yuzu eyes were filled with unshed tears as she looked up at the noble "why must you insist so much?" he asked turning to her tensing at the sight forcing to look cool before sighing "honestly" he brought his hand to his face

"I just want you to live and be able to smile" she hiccupped head bowing she was sitting at a side from his mat

"Live and Smile huh?" he lifted her chin "I don't even know why I bother" her eyes widened at his smile "stop crying girl"

"H…Hai" his arm pulled her close earning a surprise gasp they were inches apart now

"I want to protect you more than anything…I'm probably even in love with you" he spoke serenely "I have a reason to live one that I thought I had long abandoned" her eyes watered again but, she blinked to stop them

"!" she hugged him he tensed at the contact but, his arms wrapped around her, he could feel her heartbeat race he sighed out with a small smile, slowly he pulled back confusion was written all over her features as he brushed a strand of his bangs to a side before he leaned in to kiss her, judging by her gasp and inexperienced lips moving shyly against his own this was her first kiss

"You should know something by now, us Nobles are greedy…I won't let you go even if you wanted to" she smiled nodding as if accepting punishment.

"I see" the blonde looked at the sky "how did Captain Kuchiki take things?" he was curious

"…" judging by the annoyed expression on the young Noble's face it must've been amusing "he said I took my time"
