What was wrong with him, really?
He was her brother…so what was he doing hovering over her peacefully sleeping body?
Byakuya scarce believed his ears, 'Did she just…call my name?' Rukia made a tiny noise in the back of her throat, "B-Byakuya…I…I l…" she stopped; he held his breath.
'Ooh! Bya-chan, could this be what you've been waiting for?' Squealed Senbonzakura. She had returned from doing whatever amusements could be found in his mindscape and was currently lounging on a pink flower pouf.
'Do not bother me,' he thought warningly to his Zanpaku-to.
She ran her finger across her mouth indicating-these lips are shut- and giggled. She absently conjured up a cherry blossom fan and waved it cheerfully at Byakuya,' pay attention', she lisped.
A small noise like a creak sounded in the hallway; Byakuya had just enough time to realize…"N-Nii-sama? Is…is that you?" Rukia was waking up.
"W-what're you-?"
Luckily he was a Master of flash-step otherwise he'd have been caught.

"Sleepless night, eh, Captain Kuchiki?"
"What?" Byakuya asked; he rubbed the bridge of his nose and squinted at the tall redhead standing before his desk. "I asked you if you had a sleepless night."
"Oh."
"Well. Did you?"
Byakuya pulled his best aristocratic scowl; "I would think that is none of your business, Abarai."
Renji cocked an eyebrow, 'what's gotten into the Captain? I mean he's always cold but something is clearly bothering him.'
"Anyway. I would suggest you get to work; there is no time for idle chitchat," Byakuya said sternly.
Renji twitched; a huge stack of paperwork was set down in front of him, he stared wide-eyed.
"Get to it!"
"Yes sir!" he saluted and grumbling mildly under his breath; carried to his own desk-all the paperwork for Squad six. Leaving Byakuya…nothing to do.
'I wonder…what was she going to say?'
