I actually made a video promoting this collection of oneshots. :D So, if you search 'iceclan67yay' on YouTube, go to my channel, and find Ten Loves - Bleach, you'll be able to see a) the one fanart picture of Mizuiro and Tatsuki I have found and b) what's coming up next on terms of pairings/songs. :)

Enjoy!

Captain Momo Hinamori used to be nice. At least, that's what Keigo had heard when he first joined Squad Five. Now, as lieutenant of said squad, he wasn't so sure that was possible.

Sure, he saw pictures of her and former Captain Hitsugaya every now and then where she was smiling or laughing or having a good time, but she was nothing like that now.

Keigo had an idea that it might have had to do with the whole Aizen situation. Becoming obsessed with someone generally wasn't good for your mental health.

And after former Captain Madarame killed Captain Hitsugaya in a random bout of insanity. Madarame was now dead, and his squad was revolting against the current captain for not taking the name 'Kenpachi' as his first for the reason that, 'it wasn't beautiful enough.'

Keigo had hoped that that guy would have never been made a captain, but what could he do? He was Lieutenant Keigo Asano of Squad Five. He had his own captain problems to worry about.

Like now, when Captain Hinamori refused to come out of her room. He'd been out there for hours. "Captain, you really should come out now!"

"Go away!" she yelled. Keigo sighed.

"Captain!"

Mizuiro - Keigo still didn't know why he had been there, he was in Squad Three - walked past. "Have you tried opening the door?"

Keigo blinked and turned the doorknob. "Oh," he said. He stepped inside. "Captain Hina-" he stopped talking when he saw what scene awaited him.

His captain's hair, generally gently flowing down to her waist, was pulled back in a ponytail. It probably kept it out of the way as she held a sword to her throat.

"Captain! You can't do that!" Keigo said, jumping at her. He grabbed the sword away from her and they wrestled for it, ending up with her pinning him down, sword at his neck.

"Why the hell not?" she snarled, normally pretty - yet distant - face scrunched up in an expression of hate. "Why the hell can't I? Someone can take my place. They don't actually need me here."

Keigo took a breath. "Y-yeah. I mean, um, they do need you here. I can't be captain!"

She scoffed. "Of course not. But Captain Kira's lieutenant has achieved Bankai."

"Mizuiro has Bankai?" Keigo asked, eyes widening. God damn it! Why did Mizuiro always have everything before him?

"Yes," Captain Hinamori spat. "He can take over Squad Five, and I can finally get out of this hell. I've tried before, but you keep wandering in as soon as I've made all the preparations."

Keigo thought of all the times he'd walked into a room only to see his captain doing something weird. Ah, so she was trying to commit suicide. "Why?"

She looked startled. "What?"

"Why do you want to kill yourself?"

"Captain Aizen," she said, getting that distant look again.

Keigo sighed. "Look, I didn't know this guy, and the only time we met he was trying to kill me. But I'm not going to be prejudiced against him, so why does he matter so much to you?"

"Because he's kind and sweet and nice and wonderful and stunningly handsome..."

"Okay..." Keigo wasn't going to mention that her observations really weren't true, but considering their position, he probably shouldn't. "Well then, how could I convince you to stop trying to kill yourself?"

"Be Captain Aizen," Captain Hinamori said, lifting her chin. "Then I won't kill myself."

"Give me a week," Keigo promised. "If I'm not Aizen by then, feel free."

The first thing Keigo had to do was find a picture of Aizen when he was a captain. He dug through everything, but didn't find anything until he went to Squad Thirteen.

"This is going to sound awkward, but do you have a picture of Aizen when he was a captain?" Keigo asked, rubbing the back of his head. Captain Ukitake brightened.

"I do!" he said. "It's somewhere around here... Kiyone! Do you know where I put all of our old captains' photos?"

The blonde was back a few minutes later with a giant box. Captain Ukitake smiled.

"It's somewhere in here," he muttered, digging through the hundreds upon hundreds of photos. Wow, Ukitake had been a captain a long time. "Aha!"

A large piece of paper was handed to him, group picture of the captains next to a single photo of Captain Ukitake himself.

"He's third from the right on the second row," the captain said helpfully.

Oh... brown hair, glasses, captain's haori... nothing special. "So, what did he do? Like, what did he like to do?" Keigo asked.

"He did calligraphy and enjoyed tofu. He absolutely hated boiled eggs," Captain Ukitake laughed, smiling a little. Huh. Even though the guy had betrayed him, Captain Ukitake still enjoyed reminiscing about him. Weird.

"Uh, okay, thanks," Keigo said. "Do you know where I could get a pair of glasses like that?"

His next stop was a rather remote-looking part of the Seireitei. It was in the Twelfth Division.

At least they weren't headed by that creepy Kurotsuchi guy. The new captain, though a little odd, was much better.

Akon - he corrected everyone who called him Captain Akon, as Captain was meant to go with a last name, not a first - had shown him their gift shop.

Keigo hadn't known they had a gift shop of random stalker-y items, but there he was, looking at mini-Ichigo Bankais, Urahara hats, Gin plushies, and Aizen glasses.

"I didn't know this was here," Keigo remarked. Akon grinned.

"Nobody does."

This kind of scared Keigo, so he bought a pair of Aizen glasses and left.

It was Saturday again. Captain Hinamori was standing outside Keigo's door, tapping her foot impatiently. Keigo listened to his tape of Aizen's voice - after another trip to Akon's gift shop it was apparent that they had those, too - one more time and stepped out of his room, dressed in his Aizen-captain-clothes - Akon's gift shop - Aizen glasses, and new haircut, courtesy of Captain Ayasegawa.

Captain Hinamori gasped and raced forward, clutching the front of his shihakusho. "Captain Aizen!"

"Momo," Keigo said in his best Aizen voice. It must have been good enough, because she continued to cry into his haori.

He wondered how long he was going to have to dress like this. The haori was sure to draw some attention.
