Okay, I'm gonna try and make this chappie real good to make up for the wait y'all had for the last one.
Review
"Alright Yachiru, I'm going to teach you a very important technique. One that can only be used by a girl," Migoto started.
"You mean not even Ken-chan?" the young lieutenant asked in wonder and the new addition to Squad 11 nodded.
"Not even some girls can do it. It takes a special talent you have to be born with and Yachiru, you have it."
"I do!"
"Yes. Now this is a technique that you probably already know but I will teach you how to harness its power. Oh, and I should probably warn you," she paused for dramatic effect, "this move was born to be used for evil. Do you think you can handle it?" Yachiru fiercely nodded her head; a determined look crossed her face.
Migoto smiled a bit at her seriousness but leaned in closely as she whispered, "The puppy-dog face."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"…Please?"
"No."
Yachiru sat on Migoto's shoulders which put her almost eye-to-eye with Captain Kenpachi Zaraki…almost. Damn shortness. Well Yachiru wanted to take Migoto to visit Byaku-shii, which the newer member still didn't quite understand who that was, but Captain Zaraki was against it. Apparently she needed to train. It was not even a week ago that she officially joined Squad 11 and she knew her fighting skills still need more work but still…work was, well, work.
Captain Zaraki wore a blank face. Migoto gave Yachiru the signal by giving a little shrug of her shoulders and the young lieutenant instantly widened her eyes and pouted her lips. There was the smallest twitch of his lips but he didn't fall. Migoto whispered something to the small pink haired child. Yachiru crossed her arms and secretly she pinched herself hard enough that her eyes started to water.
The Captain's eyes widened a bit. Yachiru began sniffling and Zaraki groaned and rubbed the back of his head and looked off to the side.
"Fine, do what you want. Be back by dinner, though, understand, Yachiru?" Both girls nodded their heads and ran off before he could change his mind.
Migoto stared up at the large manor in wonder. Yachiru still wouldn't tell her anything about this Byaku-shii they were visiting but he sounded like a nice person, of course just because Yachiru thinks someone is great doesn't mean they are…her favorite person in the Soul Society does happen to be Captain Zaraki.
Yachiru grabbed her hand and pulled her along. "Come on, Mama-chan! This way!" She threw open the door and ran inside.
"Yachiru! You can't just burst in like that! It's rude!" But Migoto's pleas fell on deaf ears for the little girl paid her no mind. She got pulled to a door which Yachiru opened without warning.
A shinigami wearing a white haori was kneeling by a desk inside. A Captain?
"Byaku-shii!" Yashiru squealed running over to him only to have candy shoved inside her mouth. It's no wonder she keeps coming here, Migoto thought.
"Is there any particular reason why you have appeared inside my private home, Squad 11 Lieutenant?" he asked, his voice flat, lacking the kind of passion Captain Zaraki usually had. Where did that come from? I've hardly spoken to him! "And who is it you have brought with you?" Migoto looked up, surprised to have been brought into the conversation.
"I'm, er…" she stammered, though she was saved by Yachiru.
"This is Mama-chan! She's new to Ken-chan's squad! I wanted show her to you!" He stared at her with no interest at all.
"Then you have done so. Besides, I believe you have something else to take care of," he commented with disinterest. God, he's rude. Yachiru, however, was not to be put off.
"Ah! You're right! How'd you know?" she giggled, though he only sighed.
"How could I not? You've shown up here almost every day to tell me about it."
Migoto knelt down beside the young lieutenant and whispered, "Maybe we should go back, Yachiru."
"Aw!"
"Now now, don't you think Captain Zaraki might be lonely?" she asked, hoping that bringing up the little girl's "Ken-chan" then she'd be more willing to go home. Yachiru looked up at her and smiled, and that smile made Migoto a little curious as to what could be going through her head right now.
"Alright then, Mama-chan. Bye bye, Byaku-shii!" Yachiru grabbed her hand and started to pull her out but Migoto held back an instant to bow to the captain but she had no time to do more than that because the pink-haired lieutenant was dragging her through the door.
Yachiru sat up on Migoto's shoulders as they made their way back to the Squad 11 Barracks. Migoto was hoping to hand the girl back to Captain Zaraki and get some training in, because she knew she needed it.
"Hey, Yachiru? What was it that the captain was reminding you about…that you needed to do? Lieutenant work?" she guessed, and by this point they were on the training grounds and she could see many members sparring, including Ikkaku and Yumichika.
Yachiru giggled.
"No silly! Tomorrow's my birthday!" As she exclaimed this everyone froze and faced her, their faces pale. In an instant they all ran off, except for Ikkaku and Yumichika. Captain Zaraki was laughing maniacally at the proclamation. Yachiru jumped off her shoulders and ran towards the captain, laughing.
Ikkaku and Yumichika ran towards Migoto and pulled her towards a shadowed wall. Why is everybody dragging me around today? she thought annoyed.
They each had an arm around her and were whispering furiously.
"Alright listen up," Ikkaku started.
"Huh?"
"This is very important," Yumichika added.
"Wha-"
"Go to the Tenth Squad Barracks. Find Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto."
"Tell her to gather the Shinigami Women's Association."
"Explain the situation."
"They'll know what to do."
"I don't understand!"
"Go!" Ikkaku and Yumichika pushed her in the right direction and were gone before she could ask what the hell was going on. Migoto, defeated, walked towards the Tenth Division which thankfully was close enough that she didn't have enough time to get lost on the way there.
The meeting room was filled with female shinigami of which Migoto had never met before. Lieutenant Matsumoto had been easier to find than she thought because she had run into Captain Hitsugaya, literally, much to her unhappiness. He was a snappy little bastard! Not that she said that. Migoto showed him nothing but respect, which seemed to settle him down a bit.
Well anyway, he asked why she needed to speak with the lieutenant but seemed more than willing when she explained that it was a mission given to her by Ikkaku and Yumichika for Yachiru's birthday.
It certainly seems to be an infamous day, Migoto thought.
"Well what are we going to do?" the woman who had introduced herself as Nanao, the lieutenant of Squad 8, asked.
"Why don't we just do what we did last year?" Lieutenant Matsumoto suggested.
"Because Head-Captain Yamamoto ordered us to never do that again! We aren't even supposed to speak of it!" Lieutenant Nanao freaked.
"What happened?" Migoto asked curiously.
"Absolutely nothing happened!" Lieutenant Nanao insisted, becoming very flustered. Matsumoto leaned over towards the confused girl.
"Nanao doesn't like it because she got a little closer to her captain in a certain way," she whispered, making sure that said lieutenant could hear which caused a heat to burn in her cheeks.
"Why don't we throw her a surprise party? I am positive President Kusajishi will not notice how plain it will be, with so little time to prepare," Nemu, lieutenant of Squad 12, said.
"I'll bring the sake!" Lieutenant Matsumoto cheered.
Migoto had been sent back to Squad 11 to get as many people to go pull an all-nighter with the Shinigami Women's Association as to insure that everything would be ready and then she was to just stand back since she would probably just get in the way. Not her fault she didn't understand how everything worked in this psycho place!
The Academy was nothing compared to this.
A sigh passed her lips. How did she get all caught up in this?
Before anyone knew it the day had come. Yachiru's birthday. Anyone who's anyone was in the Squad 11 courtyard doing whatever possible to keep the young lieutenant happy.
That should have been easy, right?
It was…until she wanted her presents. It was alright because almost everyone had candy to give her but she asked for something particular from the poor rookie of Squad 11.
"Mama-chan! I want you to give Ken-chan a big kiss, okay?" Migoto froze and her smile seemed to drop a few points. Even Captain Zaraki seemed surprised.
"Um…you want me to what?"
"Kiss Ken-chan!"
"Yachiru, I really don't think that's appropriate…" she trailed off when the little girl pulled the puppy dog eyes on her. I never should have taught her that technique.
"N-not even for m-my b-b-birthday?"
"Just do it before she starts crying." Migoto glanced up at the captain, surprised that he seemed so okay with it. She swallowed her fear and walked up to him, everyone watching, curious as to what would happen. She hesitated and pushed herself up on her toes and gave him a small peck on his cheek wishing to God that it would be enough for the child.
It wasn't.
"No!" The lieutenant started rambling before Captain Zaraki sighed.
"At this rate she'll never stop," he muttered before grabbing the back of Migoto's head and crushing her lips with his, making her face heat up. Everyone's jaws dropped. Whatever they were expecting that was not it.
The Captain pulled away, a feral grin on his lips.
It was the grin that never left her mind for the rest of the evening as she went to bed.
The end.
