2. Chapter 2

I STILL DO NOT OWN

These two friends caught each other up on there day afternoon turned to dusk. Still the pink kimono clad brunette felt uneasy about the whole thing mauling it over in his mind while walking back to the offices, he would feel much better about it if Jushiro just went to captain Unohana. Still not hearing a word of it though he insisted everything is fine until Kyoraku gave up the subject in favor of reminiscing Byakuya's temper resurfacing for a while. He had to admit this was definitely a more pleasant topic since they both knew for a fact Byakuya had a short fuse as a kid. It was always good reminiscing about the past though since they where both the oldest captains besides Unohana and old man Yamamoto himself. That's when an idea struck the brunette confident he can convince his former charge. A passing thought that maybe he didn't want to know what's going on promptly pushed aside. They had never kept secrets from each other so the brunette was confident his old friend is jst being stubborn. Later he would talk to the raven haired noble, meanwhile that same silverette enjoyed a relaxing shower having coughed more after his best friend left unaware of the vow he made to find out something Ukitake would much rather keep to himself.
