(1 weeks after being a 3rd seat, a day after coming back from the world of the living)

Rangiku was running towards Roorens doorm room in the barrack and knocks on her door.

'Roo-chan~! Are you in? I've got the OK from the head of the womens association for you to help out with the article about the captains!'

The door swings open, Roorens eyes lit up and she hugs Rangiku.

'AHH thank you Rangiku-san!' Rooren says excited tightly hugging her. Though after a few seconds releases and falls to the ground she holds herself up with her arms that are shaking.

'R-Roo chan? Are you okay?!' Rangiku bends down helping Rooren back to her feet.

'Aha sorry, I'm still feeling alittle worn out from the one week station in the world of the living, today I've just been in bed trying not to get up because my arms and legs ache so much, ahaha' Rooren says scratching the back of her head and laughing alittle awkwardly.

'Oh yeah~ You hadn't done any long stationed missions before so it's understandable' Rangiku says smiling at her.

'I should be back to normal soon though, I hate lying around doing nothing' Rooren says grinning at her, Rangiku helps Rooren back into her doorm, turning a light on and sitting her down on her bed.

'Oh Roo-chan, also Shuuhei asked me to give you this after I showed him the letter of approval' Rangiku hands Rooren over a camera, her eyes brighten up again, looking tired but still wide and still smiling.

'When do these photos need to be done by Rangiku-san?' Rooren says holding the camera tightly, bright eyes and a wide smile.

'Weeeell~ I think its about 2 or 3 days' Rangiku says resting on a hand, the other with a finger to her lips trying to remember.

'What?!' Rooren says jaw dropping looking towards her.

She stands up, still with wobbly legs, 'I need to get these started then!' she says running over towards the door and opening it only too fall down again, holding the camera high up tightly so she doesn't accidentally drop it or crush it.

'Its okay Roo-chan, you don't need to take all of the captains photos, because its your first time doing anything like this 3 have been left for you, the others have been taken so you don't need to worry~'

She sits up on the floor, camera still in hand, 'W-who's photo do I have to take?'

'Hmm.., I think it's Captain's Soi-Fon, Kyoraku and ours'

'Ours?'

'Our captain.' Rangiku looks at Rooren grinning, 'Is it a problem roo-chan~'

Rooren gulps, blushing, 'Don't worry I've asked if the captain could take over training so I could help you out!'

'B-but I thought you said I had to get photos of him too?'

'Yes~ Its like a stealth mission, seeing what each captain is like behind closed doors' Rangiku gets closer too Rooren, whispering too her, 'Its a difficult mission but you have to accept!' She whispers, then starts to laugh alittle. ((sorry alittle ooc?))

Rooren laughs alittle and smiles, 'I accept!' she says saluting and laughing quietly.

Rooren and Rangiku sneaking around the seireitei ~

They arrive at the hardest boss, Soi-Fon, captain of squad 2.

'This ones the most difficult to get but, its best to get it out of the way'

'It might be too late too say this but I'm alittle scared of Captain Soi-Fon'

They continue crouching, making it into the barracks and hiding behind a building, that's facing towards the captains office. 'We just have to be careful, they specify with stealth missions, it doesn't help that she's the leader of the Steal Force either.'

Rooren peeks around the corner of the building, 'The doors are open, I think I see her'

'Zoom in on the camera and take a photo, I have a feeling we might get caught soon'

Rooren looks threw the camera, and zooms in, seeing her looking at what seemed to be a photo. She takes it quickly and her and the lieutenant run off the premise, Rooren stumbling alittle before gaining her strength back just enough to run partly into squad 12's barracks, Rangiku stops just to make sure Rooren has enough strength to keep on going.

'You okay Roo-chan~?'

Roorens sat crouched, then stands back up, camera still firmly in her hand, 'Yeah, lets keep going' they run/walk (it was on and off because of Rooren still being weak) threw squad 4's premise and enter squad 8's.

'Captain Kyoraku's photo shouldn't be too hard, alot of us have a feeling what he usually does 'behind closed doors' anyway' she says, them both walking, Rangiku walking behind.

'The same as you Rangiku-san?' She says, laughing alittle quietly.

'Hay, the captain can actually be fun to be around, at one point I started to believe he love his sake more than I do'

'Wow..'

'Behind here.' Rooren follows Rangiku, to hide behind a building coincidentally in perfect view of the office, which has there doors shut,

'We might have to sneak by too where the windows are' Rooren mentions to her, she nods.

The creep over towards the office, only just being able too see threw long and thin windows, the lights on, him and the 13rd squad captain, Jushiro Ukitake are having a drink, Nanao then walking out of the office.

'Why are there petals everywhere?'

'For some reason he likes Nanao to spray pink flower petals around the place, he reckons it soothes the atmosphere.'

'Is that why she walked out with an annoyed look on her face?'

'Probably. This is to be expected' Rangiku says, laughing alittle.

Rooren puts the camera up to the window and takes a few photos of the two captains drinking together.

(~time skip~)

Rangiku and Rooren have just entered the Squad 10 barracks, its sunset.

'That was pretty easy, probably the hardest thing was running around everywhere in my conditions, still its better than being cooped in my doorm all day'

'If I was in your position I would have taken the advantage to have a relaxing hot bath'

Rooren chuckles ((trying to find new words other than 'laughs alittle' XD )), 'Relaxing is nice, I wouldn't be able to do it all day.'

Rooren looks too the sky, 'I cant believe this took almost all day, it only feelings like a few minutes'

'Ahaa yeah, thing like this happen when your want to get a mission done'

Rooren looks down, 'But.. its not over yet is it (she looks up to the lieutenant) We still need to get a photo of the captain'

'He would have finished the training by now, he's probably in the office doing paper work like usual~'

The arrive at the office and open the door slightly too peek threw.

'Right as usual Rangiku-san'

Rooren tries too take a photo of her captain threw the crack in the doors.

'Guranto, Matsumoto, if you wish to speak to me then do so.'

'Captains good~' Rangiku said standing up, Rooren following with the camera in her hand.

'Uh, captain would it be okay if Roo-chan took a photo of you working?'

The captain stared at the lieutenant, then at Rooren and the camera in her hands, 'Is this for that magazine thing?'

Rooren lightly blushed, and nodded 'Uhhu..'

The captain stared down at his paper work, 'Go on then, just quickly, Matsumoto there's paperwork still on your desk. Don't forget about it.'

'Yes captain~' Rangiku sighed, and sat down on the green couch that's facing the door and layed down on it.

Rooren unnecessarily ran towards a spot which looks like she was hiding, the captain looking at her from the corner of her eyes, alittle worried because he could see how tired and worn out she was.

'I know its not really meant to be posed or anything but could you act like you taking the paper work out of the room?'

The captain said nothing, he took the finished paper work, walked around the left side of his desk and started to walk. Rooren looked threw the camera, she stepped back then forwards to get at a right distance.

She took another step forward, her legs shaking, she tripped on her own foot.

The captain turning around, his eyes widening, dropping the paperwork and running towards Rooren, catching her just before she hit the ground.

The captains knees bent, one hand holding her shoulder, and the other holding her hand. Rangiku get off the couch and runs towards Rooren and the captain, 'Is she alright?'

'She's probably tired from running around alot in the past week, I don't think she's gotten use to it yet.'

Rangiku spots the camera, having been placed gently on the floor by the captain and picks it up.

'I'll take her back to her room, she might be able to start walking the rest halfway'

'T-Toshiro' She said, almost like a whisper only just finding enough energy to look up to him, her face red from exhaustion, Toshiro looking towards her, blushing. He tried ignoring the fact that she called her by his first name and put her arm around him, he held her hand from the arm around his neck and put his arm around her waist for support, Rooren looks up to him.

'Rangiku.. (Hes turns around to her) I want that paperwork done by the time I get back!'

'Uh.~Y-yes sir!'

Rangiku sneekily takes a photo of the captain helping Rooren out of the office. She managed to get a photo of the two looking at eachother.

'Aww how cute~' She said to herself reviewing the photo.

Rooren regained alittle bit of strength and started to walk abit more.

'Toshiro you can go now, I can walk fine.'

'Your still shaking, you could collapse. I'm helping you the rest of the way.'

'W-why are you doing this?'

'Your a member of my squad-'

'I mean, you could have just asked Rangiku to bring me back. Why do it yourself?'

Toshiro blushed lightly, looking down towards the ground, continuing to walk. 'I wanted to make sure you'd be okay myself, you've been rushing around too much, if you keep on doing things like this you'll end up getting ill'

Rooren smiles at him laughing alittle at how un-character like he's being, 'I'll be fine, t-thank.. Toshiro'

The captain coughs and looks at her, blushing, 'I-I've told you before not to call me that, I'm a captain, so call me captain'

'I remember you telling me, s-sorry' Rooren chuckles alittle bit, gaining the captain to grumpily look away and to the ground trying to ignore that he's blushing.

To- *cough* The captain opens the doors too Roorens room.

'We're here then' The captain announces alittle awkwardly. Rooren slowly removed her arm around the captain, he held onto her hand making sure that she had her balance.

'You'll be alright wont you?'

'Yeah. If I go straight to bed I should be o-ok!' Rooren smiles.

At the same time they notice the captains been holding her hand longer than necessary, they look at eachother eyes widened and blush across each of there faces, then the captain lets go of her hand slowly, as if not wanting to let go.

The captain coughs and turns around hiding the blush, 'If your not well enough to participate in tomorrows training take the day off and rest', he turns around alittle too look at her, '..but I'll only give you one day. Come to see me to report your well enough to continue training again.'

'I will.. captain' Rooren smiles at him, one hand on a wall to support herself.

He turns around, 'Good night.. Rooren' and he starts to walk off back to the office.

Roorens eyes go wide, a deep blush spread across her face, 'He's never called me by my first name, w-why?' Thoughts like these race threw her mind.

Rooren looks out of her door, about to shut it, she spots Rangiku holding a camera, 'Oh yeah I left it back at the office didn't I, maybe she came to give it back?'

'Rangiku-san!' Rooren shouts, Rangiku looking like she was sneaking off into the distance looks back, 'Ahaa Roo-chan!'

She runs towards her, 'Roo-chan, here' She hands her the camera.

'There some extra photos on there I think you'd wanna see' She bends down towards her to her height, 'I think they-re pretty cute myself~' a wink followed.

'See ya tomorrow Roo-chan! If your not in training I'll come by yours afterwards! Ciao~' Rangiku saying as she walks off waving, and back to the office she goes.

'T-thank you Rangiku-san!'

Rooren closes the doors and carefully sits on her bed, looking at the camera in her hands, a deep blush over her face, 'N-no, surely she wouldn't have.. followed... right?'

She turns on the camera and scrolls threw, first the photos of Soi-fon and Kyoraku's photos, then followed by one taken as she was falling over, its all blurry and cant be used so she deletes it. Next is one she doesn't remember taking. Her blush deepens, 'S-she did!'

Her whole face going red, a side photo of her and the captain, her arm around his neck, him holding her hand and arm around her waist making sure she doesn't fall. 'I-i don't even...know..what...how do i...does he..', her head at the moment jumbled of thoughts of what to make of it, ofcourse at the time she was thinking about what was happening, but actually /seeing/ a photo of her and him. The worse (or I guess the best?) thing about it, its like there staring into each others eyes.

How could she even deal with anymore of this? Her blush meter was going off the charts!.. if there was a chart anyway.

She clicks to the next photo. A back view of the two, her on her feet alittle more, looking at eachother, still blushing. The next one in front of her door, the captain still ahold of her hand, 'ofcourse she had to catch it at the right time didn't she', the moment when they had just noticed that the captain was holding her hand longer than what was necessary in trying to keep her balance, a side view of the two, again blushing but more than the other two.

'T-this is after he called me by name first name..?' The last one, a front photo of the captain walking off looking at the hand he was holding onto Roorens with with a deep blush across his face.

'Wha-' ofcourse the captain acting like this has come over to be abit of a shock to Rooren, she had no idea he someone who was like this, because of everything she's seen of him, kind of like a bossy child, yet Rooren, still fell for him.

'Does..he /like/ me?', Roorens cheeks deepen even more and her eyes widen to the thought that he actually could...

She clicks back to the image of the two with the captain holding onto her hand and the two blushing, lies down on her bed and looks at it, smiling, and falling asleep.
