Thanks again for the nice reviews! ^^ Now for Komamura Taichou's reaction. Enjoy!
Ukitake cradled the kitten in his arms as he wandered through the roads of Seireitei.
Deciding to take a little walk before he headed to his office, Ukitake headed towards the 7th Squad barracks. Smiling at the little cat that seemed to be enjoying the little outing, Ukitake realized that he felt better than he had in a long time. Although he had been walking in the sun for about half an hour, he wasn't feeling sick or dizzy at all. He wondered if that was because his little pet was calming him down, and reducing the stress he was usually submerged in.
As he made his way closer to the 7th Squad barracks, he heard the clash of wooden swords, where the squad members were training. Ukitake wondered if Komamura Taichou himself was taking part in the training, and decided to go and greet him.
He requested the guards outside the gates that he wished to see Komamura Taichou. The little kitten, earning a lot of stares, wagged her tail as she was being carried to the training rooms by its master. Iba Fukutaichou excused himself, and announced Ukitake's arrival to his captain.
"Ukitake Taichou… What could be your business here today?" Komamura taichou stopped his sword training at Ukitake's entrance.
"Long time no see, Komamura Taichou. I just wanted to see how you were doing. No official business!" Ukitake laughed warmly.
"I see. As you can see, I am doing quite well… Wait, taichou, what do you have in your arms?" Komamura leaned in for a closer look.
The little cat was surprised at the presence of the large dog-like creature. Shiro let out a loud cat scream, fluffed up its fur, and in a flash climbed on top of Ukitake's head.
"Shiro… Shiro chan! Please calm down! Komamura Taichou is a good guy!" Ukitake reassured the cat, seeing the hurt look on the other captain's face. Gently, he tried to pry off the scared little kitten from his hair.
"Sorry, Ukitake Taichou. Your little pet does not seem to like me so much…" Komamura apologized.
"Uh, no. I don't think it's like that. Little Shiro chan is just surprised. Aren't you?" Ukitake successfully managed to calm the kitten down, and look it in the eye. "Now, greet the nice Taichou, okay?"
The little cat amazingly turned to face towards the 7th Squad captain, almost as if she knew what Ukitake was saying. With a soft mew, she wagged her tail. Reluctantly, Komamura taichou extended a hand to pet the kitten. After hesitating a little bit, Shiro chan allowed herself to be patted by the Captain.
"Good Kitty." Ukitake looked up to find the other captain's face glowing with happiness. After a little while, Shiro decided that Komamura san was nice, and leaped into his arms joyfully. The pleased Captain patted the cat in joy.
"See, Komamura Taichou! Shiro chan does like you." Ukitake smiled.
"What an odd kitten… When I was in Rukongai, even large cats would refuse to come within a 10 foot radius near me. So I've never actually seen a cat up close like this. Such a beautiful creature." Komamura taichou looked contented.
"Ukitake, would you like to have a cup of tea with me before you head back? I have this amazing English tea Sasakibe Fukutaichou gave me." He said.
"Of course,Komamura Taichou. I'll be glad." Ukitake smiled.
Hope you liked it. Please review! ^^ And I'm taking requests for which taichou i should do next. X3
