She awakes as usual, at five of course, eats breakfast and is at work by 7. Taxes are due in two weeks so that takes presidence over everything else. She breaks at twelve and has just returned from lunch when he arrives, shouting loudly for his Nanao-chan. Today is his birthday. He is three thousand today. She give him a copy of his weekly schedule, which she knows he will ignore and hurries him into his office so she can return to work. Fortunately, Ukitake-taichou has just arrived, bringing sake and steamed buns.
She hears them leave later. Both drunk as fish and talking about the Soutaichou. She thinks about her captain after he is gone. He has been in her life for as long as she can remember. The first time she saw him was at the academy, when he taught advanced kidou with Ukitake-taichou. She was quite young back then and easily caught his attention with her youth and skill. He took her out of the school soon after that and made her the 20th seat in his squad. She worked her way up and became close to him and fuku-taichou Yadomaru. When Lisa senpai left, he held her while she cried.
It seems that she has loved him all her life. She has not vocalised this love. She showers him with affection via her actions. When he is sick, she plays nurse. When he is on a mission, she is one step behind him. She does some of Ukitake-taichou's paperwork, in secret, just so he can spend more time with his friend. She loves him so much and he doesn't even know. But that will all change tonight. She will tell him........no......she will show him her love. What he does next is his choice but she is tired of keeping this a secret.
