Sui-Feng was walking along without a concern in the world to trouble her, secure in the knowledge that the Winter War was over and the traitors had been dealt with. She knew at some point in the very near future that she would probably be called in to a Taicho meeting to deal with Gin and the surviving Espada, but right now, she was going to savor the peace and quiet that no pressing duties were affording her. And her plan was going great right up to the point that her moronic Fuku-Taicho suddenly shoved her sideways.

*OOMPH*

"What the hell was going through that pea sized brain of yours? Shoving me like that!" Sui-Feng yelled at Marechiyo Omaeda as she hit him over the head while he knelt over something on the floor.

"I had to. You were going to step on it," he said as he flashed a coin in Sui-Feng's face.

Standing back up to his full height, Omaeda looked past his Taicho. Sui-Feng's only warning before he shoved past her was the bright look of excitement that lit up his normally dull features.

"LOOK! ANOTHER ONE!"

Giving a resigned sigh and mentally making a note to track down whatever idiot was walking around with holes in their pockets and spilling coins, therefor causing her relaxing morning to evaporate into thin air, Sui-Feng slowly headed off after her Fuku-Taicho and his increasingly excited vocalizations. When she heard Omaeda's voice suddenly change tone from excited to alarmed, Sui-Feng felt a jolt of adrenalin and sped up. She found her Fuku-Taicho kneeling on the ground again, frantically trying to pick up a coin.

"What is it? What happened?"

"I can't get this little beauty up! It seems to be attached to the floor! Who could do something so awful!" Omaeda was practically sobbing as he kept trying to pry up the glinting coin.

"I thought it was something important, you stupid idiot!" Pinching the bridge of her nose, Sui-Feng then continued on with, "Besides, I can see another coin just down the way a bit. Just leave that one here and don't worry about it."

Just then, another Shinigami walked out of a cross hall near the far coin.

"THAT'S MINE!" Omaeda shouted out as he strained out an arm towards the farther coin without once removing the fingers that were still scrambling to pry the current coin up off the floor.

Needless to say, by the time Sui-Feng was able to drag her Fuku-Taicho away, after several arguements, a whole lot of whining, and quite a few speeches from her Fuku-Taicho about the importance of investments and finacial responsibility, her peaceful morning was absolutely shot to hell and she had a pounding migrane.
