Chapter 1

Rangiku took Rooren to the squad 9's barracks to hand in a report to Shuuhei for the Seireitei news magazine.

She's stunned, everyone is busy, some fixing cameras in the corner and some writing up collums, some printing and copying.

You could tell Shuuhei was busy and getting annoyed.

'Shuuhei~ I've got squad 10's report for-' Rangiku gets cut off by Shuuhei snatching the paper off her.

'It gonna be printed tomorrow Rangiku your squad was the last one to hand in there report *sigh* thank you'

Rooren is else where, having picked up a camera and looking threw the peep hole around the room 'woow' she said under hear breath to herself

'If you break that you'll have to pay for it 4th seat' Shuuhei says alittle concerned

She takes it away from her eye and rushes over too Shuuhei, 'can I help you with the next issue Hisagi-san?', 'uh- its usually something only squad 9 does, were not expecting for any help from other squads'

'Pleaseee!' Rooren says with the camera still in her hand, wide eyes.

'Go on Shuuhei, give her a trial run atleast!' Rangiku says as she nudges him with her elbow.

Shuuhei giving in scratches the back of his head, 'Fine, well the womens association is doing an article about the captains in the next issue, maybe if you have a talk with the head then-'

'Yaaay! Thank you' Rooren says eagerly with the camera in her hands.

'Ill take you to the next meeting Roo-chan okay!' Rangiku says winking at her. They start to walk out of the room, 'Uh Guranto-san, do you think you can leave the camera here before you leave'

'Oh-oh yeah, hehe sorry!' Rooren takes the camera and passes it too Shuuhei.

Back in the squad 10 office, Rangiku leading and with an excited rooren following behind.

'Were back captain~'

'I can see that, (he looks up at a overly happy rooren) what's with her'

'I do have a name captain!' Rooren going into overly annoyed mode.

'Shuuhei let her help out with the next issue of the seireitei magazine'

The captain continued to look at the two. 'I see'

'Hehe I can't wait! I don't think I've been this excited in a while!'

'Matsumoto just make sure she doesn't get too excited, soon enough she'd wanna change squads'

'What's this? Is our captain worrying?' Rangiku says bending over alittle grinning at him.

'Even though I'd like to help out with the magazine doesn't mean I want to change to squad 9, I like it here in squad 10'

Rooren says with a cheeky smile, Toshiro looking at her with a small smile back.

'See there's no need to worry!' Rangiku says as she put her hand on roorens head ruffling her hair.

'That's good to hear' he continues to smile, though instantly coughs then hands Rangiku some paperwork.

'For the last week you've been piling more paper work onto me, atleast do some of it'

'Fine~' Rangiku says taking the paper work.

'Guranto you don't have to stay here you know'

'Can you stop calling me by my last name its -' 'she's here too keep me company!' Rangiku says slinging her arm around her, bent down to her level, 'you mentioned something you wanted to talk to me about right?' Rangiku says looking at Rooren, arm still around her.

'Uh- yeah, but its-' a blushing Rooren gets cut off, 'then you are to tell me all your troubles! It helps to get things out in the open alittle' 'o-okay' Rooren smiles at her blushing alittle.

'Well I need to get to a captains meeting, make sure to get the paper work done' Toshiro says getting out of his chair, 'yes sir!', he starts walking out of the office closing the door.

Rangiku puts the paper work on the desk but heads over to the couch, 'I thought the captain wanted you to do the paperwork' Rooren mentions standing still alittle confused.

'A girls troubles are more important, have a seat' she said sat down and pointing to the opposite couch.

'I-its not that important, Its not really troubling me either' Rooren says still standing up.

'Really? Then explain why in yesterdays training were you day dreaming?' Rangiku grins.

'W-what? I wasn't!' She starts to blush more.

'Ahha! I know what kind of trouble this is! (She gets off her seat and puts her hand on her shoulder) This is boy trouble!'

'W-what are you on about?!' Rooren continues to blush, and looks away from direct eye contact Rangiku was giving her.

'Haha I knew it! Come sit down at tell me all about it!'

'Bu-but, Rangiku-san!'

She plops rooren on the couch and she sat next to her.

'First things first who is it?~' Rangiku says like an excited little child.

'There's no reason to be talking about this, Its not even possible-'

'Girls have crushes all the time, they always think that its never going too happen and that way of thinking is the reason it never does' she says resting her arm on the back of the couch.

'But its never- its just something silly, I shouldn't even be thinking about things like this, all it is is a distraction'

'So you admit you dooo like someone?!'

'Well-i guess but'

'Roo-chan I can't help you if you don't tell me who it is'

'I seriously.. cant~'

'Don't tell me...(Rangiku looks up to her and grins) is it Lieutenant Hisagi?'

'What! No-no!'

'Then who is it?' Rangiku says smiling at her.

'I told you there's no point, it'll never-'

'Hmm.. (Grins, taking her resting arm off from the back of the couch) Is it the captain?'

Rooren didn't say anything

'Ah~ ' Rangiku says with a grin plastered on her face.

'I told you, its just something silly that's distracting-' Rooren says blushing looking away from Rangiku, trying to ignore the grin.

'You believe the captain doesn't have a soft side either?' Rangiku contines to look at her, giving her a soft smile.

'W-what are you-' Rooren stutters looking back towards her.

'He does pay close attention to everyone in the squad, even though you are a newbie the captain acts like he's known you for years, maybe..' She goes off in her thoughts for a second looking to the ceiling, finger on her chin.

'He pays close attention to everyone, its not like I'm anything special'

Rangiku sighs, 'Your new to being a member in the 13 court guard squads, even down to that he insisted in you becoming a seated officer as soon as you joined a squad, why do you think that is?'

'Because of my skills..'

'Because your special, of course your skills too, but he seems to have taken an interest in you'

'But, why me?'

'That you need to find out for yourself, I've got an idea!'
