The next morning Nanao awoke from her slumber and dressed in her standard uniform and headed towards the office she shared with her captain. She opened the door and entered looking around and finding, to no surprise, that her Captain was not there. After making a cup of tea she sat down and began to finish off the few remaining documents she had left from the night before. After a few hours and many cups of strong tea the paperwork was done and carried off, and she was waiting for the arrival of her Captain.

But as noon came and went she began to wonder if he was in-fact avoiding her. Usually he was in around noon, and if not noon then defiantly by one o'clock. She peered at the clock kept at on the wall. It read 1:07 and ticked away at her with no care that Nanao was feeling apprehensive. She huffed at the time and started mulling over if she should still wait or go and find him. But after another half an hour passed she made her choice.

"I must find him." She muttered under her breath as she rose quickly from the desk and left to go in search of him. First she checked all the gardens around her squad, seeing as he was usually found sitting under a tree or, at times, in one. But when her search came up empty she tried the gardens around the surrounding squads much to their annoyance, and then did a thorough search of the Thirteenth Squad even though they told her that he had left hours before.

Feeling almost defeated she started heading back to the eighth squad when she remembered something from years before.

Years Ago, Friday

Nanao followed the trail of sake bottles and small traces of Sakura Blossoms along a small stream that lead to a huge Sakura Tree. At the base to said tree she found her captain passed out from too much Sake and from the battle he had fought earlier against massive swarms of Hallows. The report had read that at least half of the squad members there had died or was in critical condition. Nanao knew that her Captain was very fond of all their squad members and she would bet her position as Vice-Captain that the reason for his currant state was from guilt.

Nanao studied his appearance and saw that he was still alive. She however dared not to get to close for fear of being overcome with the fumes of the liquor. Her Captain then opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Yare Nanao-chan," She dared not correct him, "you found my secret hiding place." He closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

At this Nanao stood, and turned to leave knowing that her Captain would be fine and would probably never remember her being there when he awoke. She looked back only for a moment feeling both sad for him and glad that she had such a caring Captain.

Present Day

He must be there. Nanao sped off using her flash step to get to the area as quickly as she could seeing that the sun would be setting soon. As she jumped over rooftops and over walkways she silently prayed that he would be there, and not have a broken heart that could not be mended. She stopped a small ways away from the tree, and could tell he was there.

Nanao took a deep breath in and walked slowly over to him. He didn't look at her. She smirked. "Yare Captain, hiding from your Nanao-chan?" he looked up at her suddenly.

He studied her for a minute not knowing exactly what to say. "Come sit with me Nanao." She sat down next to him and looked out at the slowly setting sun. The pinks and oranges swirled with each other creating a beautiful sight. "Why did you come out here Nanao?" Her captain asked.

"Because Captain I am afraid I have been rather untruthful to you."

"I see. So you have come to clear your conscious?"

"Yes. You see captain last night I told you some rather colorful lies."

"Did you now?" Her Captain turned towards her and grabbed her hand.

"Shunsui." Nanao began. "I must confess that I love you too. And I don't just think of you in a professional way. In-fact I think most of my feelings for you are rather unprofessional." She smiled, and looked at him.

"Nanao... I." He stopped. "Nanao where did all these feelings come from?"

"I guess I've just always had them." She peered deep into his eyes and whispered "Kiss me."

He leaned down about to capture her lips when...

Nanao suddenly woke up from her dream and sat up in bed and smiled over at her lover, Shunsui. She looked out the window of their room and noticed that the sun was up, which meant she should be heading to the office. She looked over to her Captain again and noticed that he was looking at her.

"What woke you up?" he asked.

"Oh I was just dreaming about you and me and how we got together." She answered, getting up and beginning to get ready.

"And that woke you up?" he mused.

"Well why stay asleep when you can wake up and have the real thing." She teased back.

Nanao soon left and Shunsui continued to lay in bed. She really is amazing. He mused over all the changes in his Nanao-chan. It turned out that she was really a charming and playful woman once you got under her business like façade. He chuckled to himself and grinned. He really was the luckiest man in all of Soul Society.

I hope you enjoyed this. Yes I know it's a bit of a twist, but I hope you enjoyed it!!! YAY!
