I'm trying to use less dialogue and longer paragraphs. But it's not working too well for me haha :D I'm trying, I'm trying!!! xD

"So what is it?" I ask my captain as we headed inside the 13th division headquarters.

"Kuchiki Rukia from our division has been scheduled for execution, they're currently holding her in the 6th division cells" he coughed.

"What?! Why?!" I hand him his tea to ease his coughing. Before he could answer, he bursted into more violent coughs, leaning over with one hand over his mouth, and the other on his chest.

"Kiyone! Sentaro!" I called.

"Hai!" They immediately answered, appearing at the door.

"Take the captain home and make sure he gets some rest," I ordered and they nodded.

"But-" Ukitake-Taichou started protesting, only to start coughing again.

"No 'buts'! You're gonna listen to me, shut up and get some rest. No protesting from you!" I waved my finger in front of his face. He lightly smiled and let the two 3rd seats take him home.

Once they were cleared out of the room, I looked at the stacks of papers. There weren't that many left, and I can finish them if I stay up tonight. So I can go visit Rukia and see what's going on. I tied Shuurei Tenshi, my zanpakuto, against my waist and headed off.

Unlike everyone else in the Gotei 13, I've only been here for a bit over 2 years, while others have been here for at least a few decades. They say it was rare that someone for someone to graduate from the academy in a year, when they've only been in Soul Society for a few months. Not to mention they immediately placed me as 4th seat in the 11th squad, and then placed as a lieutenant just a few weeks ago. You can say I took a pretty big leap.

But though I've been here for 2 years, it was still hard to remember where each division was. So I had to climb up high to see the numbers that were painted on the walls.

"Let's see... where's the giant six...?...." I wondered to myself, looking around until I found it. "Bingo!"

I leaped from rooftop to rooftop until I reached the entrance. "Huh? I wonder where their captain is?..." I shrugged, "Eh... who cares."

On my way, many shinigami waved and said hello to me. I didn't even know who more than half of them were, but apparently they knew who I was... so I just simply nodded and kept walking.

"Kinomi?"

I turned around to come face to face (well more like face to chest), with Renji.

I raised an eyebrow at his clothes, "Um... why aren't you in your uniform?"

He looked down at his white robe with light pink flowers on them, tied together by a black sash, "It's my day off." He shrugged.

"Ok then..."

"You here to see Rukia?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

He tilted his head to the left, "Come on then."

We reached a giant red door where 'six' was painted on with black ink. He took the key that was spinning on his finger and inserted it in the slot, opening the door for us to walk in.

"Aaahh! Wait! Wait!"

I sweatdropped, "Was that Rikichi?"

He sighed, "Probably..."

As we walked closer, we heard everything he was saying, "Hi, my name's Jennifer. I'm a pisces and my blood type's A. My cup size is E. My 3 sizes are-"

He was silenced when Renji knocked him to the ground with a kick to the head. "Ow...." he was still holding onto a fake yellow butterfly while a hell butterfly was flying around him.

I sighed, he probably let another one loose again. The butterfly landed on my outstretched finger.

"What the heck are you doing?!" Renji demanded, arms crossed. 'Isn't it obvious?'

"Renji-San!" he exclaimed, rubbing his head. "Aren't you off duty today?"

"I'm checking on the prisoner.... is she still depressed?"

He walked off without an answer, muttering some things under his breath. "Here," I said, handing Rikichi the butterfly. "A little tip, that little trick with the fake butterfly isn't going to work. Later," I waved, catching up to the red head.

When we arrived at the cell, Rukia was sitting in a chair with her back turned to us.

"Hey, you still depressed?" Renji said.

"I'm not depressed," she stated, barely turning her head.

"They why won't you touch your food, eh?" he kept pressing on.

"I'm simply not hungry, lieutenant," she emphasized the last word.

Oh, that's right! Renji wasn't made a lieutenant until after she left to the world of the living. So she only just learned about it recently.

He raised a fist, "What, dammit?! You got a problem with me being a lieutenant?!"

"No, of course not."

I smirked, knowing that she was probably smirking herself.

"Do your best, fukutaichou-dono! You're strong, fukutaichou-dono! You've got weird eyebrows, fukutaichou-dono!"

That was it. I bursted out laughing, while Renji looked like he was ready to kill her.

"I'll kill you! Get out here!" he growled, clutching the cell bars tightly.

"Hey, you're the one who locked her in there, boke!" I pointed out.

He turned to glare at me, muttering incoherent things under his breath. I quickly pushed him out and slammed the door in his face. "Hey! This is my division!"

"Whatever!" I shouted back and walked closer to the bars. "Hey Rukia, how is it in there?" I joked.

"Dark and lonely. How is it out there, Kurosaki-fukutaichou?" She joked back, finally getting up and walking towards me.

"Bright and filled with idiots," I shrugged. "Mind telling me what you did that was so serious, they're setting your execution date?"

She broke eye contact and stared at the floor, "...I gave a human my shinigami powers..." she mumbled.

I froze, "...Oh..." was all I could say.

Giving her a lecture was pointless because she already knew about the consequences, and if they go through with the execution, I don't want her to be bored to death before it happens.

"Fukutaichou? May I ask you something?" she said quietly.

"Um, I guess so."

"Well, you never talk about your living life so I was curious. Did you have an older brother by the name of Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"If he has bright orange hair, stubborn and a short temper, then yes.... He was the one you gave your powers to, am I right?"

She nodded, "Hai... I did it because I was wounded and he needed to save his sister."

"I understand... Well, I gotta go and get prepared." I stretched my arms.

She raised an eyebrow, "Prepared?"

I smirked, "Knowing Ichigo, he's gonna be here in a few days or so to save you."

She gasped just as I waved and walked outside. Once I closed the door, I leaned against it and sighed. 'It's going to be dangerous. For us and for him too.'

Renji was leaning on the left wall, arms crossed and impatient. "Just leave her alone for now... And by the way, it's not nice to eavesdrop." I said, walking away.

"So that orange haired bastard is your brother, eh?"

"You really do have weird eyebrows Renji..." I waved and continued walking.

"Hey I was talking to you!"

But I had already left his sight using shunpo.

"Um... Kurosaki-Fukutaichou?..."

"Yeah Kiyone?" I answered, eyes still closed, my back resting on the 13th division's roof.

"Did you hear the warning?"

"Yep!"

"...Aren't you going to do anything?..."

"Nope!"

She was at a loss for words. "Um okay, I'll be going now...." she quickly ran away, probably back to the captain.

I finally opened my eyes. A message was sent throughout Seireitei that there were invaders in West Rukongai, the part where I lived for the first few months. I was 99% sure that it was Ichigo. But they had said "invaders", meaning that he brought more people with him.

I sighed, "I just hope he knows what he's doing..."
