Lovers

"Nanao-chan? Where are you my lovely, lovely Nanao-chan" Shunsui says in a drunken state

"Captain I'm right over here…" Nanao says out of slight annoyance that her captain is drunk.. Again…

"Oh, there you are my Nanao-chan" he stumbles over to her but he doesn't lose his balance on the way over to her

Nanao rolls her eyes

"Nanao-chan, can we go to my personal quarters this evening on a… date" he says the last word with a bit of seductiveness

"I'm sorry captain, but I have plans for tonight, besides I don't want to be alone in the same room with you while your drunk." Nanao says while being irritated

"aww, pleeeaase Nanao-chan" Shunsui looks at her with pleading eyes "just for tonight?"

"No."

"Nanao-chan, I order you to come to my quarters after work"

Nanao looks at him… "I'm sorry captain but I can't follow that order…" her eyes look bored

"please?" Shunsui hugs her and grabs her ass

Nanao gasps at the gesture and gets him off her and slaps him

"Your so mean Nanao-chan" Shunsui says, rubbing his now red cheek

Nanao walks away, ignoring her captain who is crying comically

"so mean…. So mean Nanao-chan"

Ukitake is having another one of his coughing spells

*cough cough* "Retsu…" *cough cough*

"I'm right here Juu" Unohana says in a comforting tone, rushing over to his side

Ukitake coughs more violently and starts to cough up blood

She kneels down next to him and a green aura starts glowing around her hands, she places her hands on his back

"Try to deep breath, I know it's hard but please try" Unohana say in her normal tone

Ukitake nods slightly, too weak to speak, almost too weak to be on all fours without collapsing, he starts to try and deep breathe, not much luck since he goes into another coughing fit, but this time less violent because Unohana is healing him.

"I'm… sorry for… troubling you… Retsu" he says in between gasps for air

"It's alright Juu you don't need to be sorry, especially in the state you're in now." Unohana says in a reassuring tone

He nods and is feeling really weak

"Let's get you up and onto your bed, shall we?" Unohana gets ready to lift the sick captain

He nods and tries to stand up with very little success

Unohana gets up and lifts him onto his feet "do you feel like you can walk?" she says putting his arm over her shoulders and her free arm around his waist

"yes, but take it slow…" he starts to walk, bearing almost all of his weight on Unohana

"we're almost there Juu, keep going" Unohana says encouragingly

He nods and walks the last 10 steps over to his bed and collapses on his bed, breathing heavily

"Very good Juu." Unohana says smiling

Ukitake manages to smile a weak smile, even in his dire state he still manages to smile his trademark smile.

"Here…" Unohana opens a bottle of liquid "drink this"

Ukitake weakly sits up and grabs the bottle with his shaking hands and drinks it in a few gulps. He hands it back to her and says "thank you Retsu" he coughs a couple more times and he lays back down and closes his eyes

"Sleep well Juu." Unohana says as she leaves another bottle of the same liquid with instructions to take it if he wakes up with a coughing fit.

A Few Hours Later Kyoraku is walking along Seireitei when he feels unfamiliar reitsu. He decides to go check it out, he hides his reitsu so he won't be discovered easily

"Kyoraku taicho?" Nanao says quietly when she feels his reitsu disappear.
