Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach

A/N: This chapter is centered around the closing credits for the TPTP episodes. Don't know if you notice Byakuya is in the scene w/ Yoruichi and Soi Fon. It's easy to miss him b/c he's face down in the background. We pondered how he ended up in this position on the ByaYoru FC and this chapter fits one of our theories.

Princess, Commander, Captain

"Have you ever beaten her? At your current skill level Byakuya you will never be able to catch her." Byakuya had wrestle will those thoughts all through the night. Yoruichi's face and those words haunted him in his sleep. When he woke the next morning he was still tired. He dragged himself into the bathroom and splashed water his face. He looked into the mirror and with a mountain of determination he proclaimed, "I will catch Yoruichi Shihoin." The tired look on his face was replaced by a smug smile. He continued to smile as he ready for another day at the academy. "I will catch Yoruichi Shihoin," he announced again with the same determination as he looked in the mirror to make sure his uniform was perfect. He left the Kuchiki manor and began walking confidently to the academy. Today was going to be a good day; Byakuya had mastered Bakudo # 30 Shitotsu Sansen and planned to demonstrate it in class. Not even being stuck with Yoruichi as my senpai could ruin this day.

Little did Byakuya know a little black cat had followed him from the moment he left the Kuchiki property. Yoruichi decided to see just how close she could get Byakuya in her cat form without him noticing her. She had kept her distance but had been walking with him for over 15 minutes now and he had no clue. Just before Byakuya made it to the academy's gates, six Executive Militia members surrounded him. Yoruichi watched the entire ordeal from a nearby tree.

"Byakuya Kuchiki you are to come with us", announced one of the masked men.

"What is the meaning of this? I demand to know", responded Byakuya

"Please come quietly, otherwise we will us physical force".

"Physical force, do you know who I am" Bykauya's face became red. "I AM BYAKUYA KUCHIKI FUTURE HEAD OF THE..."

Not that damn speech again. "Bakudo #61 Rikujokoro" Yoruichi whispered

"KUCHIKI clan", Byakuya paused as he realized he couldn't move. He looked down and saw six rods of light surrounding his midsection. What the hell, they don't use high-level Kido. One of the mask men broke Byakuya's chain of thought by picking Byakuya up and carrying him away. "PUT ME DOWN YOU INGRATE. AN ASSAULT ON ME IS AN ASSAULT ON THE KUCHIKI CLAN." Byakuya continued to yell at the six men as he was carried to the Shihoin estate.

"Is there anything else you need commander?" asked the men as the bowed before Yoruichi.

"I DEMAND YOU PUT ME DOWN NOW!" Byakuya yelled. Yoruichi signaled and the man finally put Byakuya down in front of Yoruichi. She acted causally as if kidnapping Byakuya was a normal daily activity. The men disappeared quickly leaving Byakuya and Yoruichi alone.

Yoruichi's nonchalant attitude prompted Byakuya's eye to twitch. "SO THIS IS YOUR DOING, DEMON CAT."

"Byakuya-bo I told you before about calling me that, if you don't behave I am not going to release you from the hold." Yoruichi flashed Byakuya a huge Cheshire cat grin and relaxed in her chair. "So are you going to be a good Byakuya-bo or not"? Byakuya didn't respond he just stood there glaring at Yoruichi. "Byakuya don't be so uptight. Today is going to be our first day together as senpai and kohai. It's going to be fun."

"Fun, fun, you call kidnapping me fun." Byakuya paused as Yoruichi walked over and released him. His momentum carried him forward. He fell into Yoruichi almost knocking her down, but she was able to catch him and regain her balance.

"I see balance is something we'll have to work on as well," she joked.

She felt Byakuya's whole body stiffen. He jumped out of her arms quickly and blurted out, "IIII told you before I DON"T HAVE TIME FOR THAT!"

Yoruichi looked at his very serious face and giggled at his comment. This caused his serious look to turn into a frown. "Byakuya I see you have very good reflexes at least."

"Of course I do", remarked Byakuya as he stood even more erect and pushed out his chest.

"So what do you want do first?"

"I want you to take me back to the academy. That's what I want you to do, " Byakuya responded.

Yoruichi sat down in chair and looked a Byakuya for moment. "So you don't want to spend the day with me, Byakuya? OK, if that's how you want it I'll tell my men to take you back." Yoruichi smiled at him; this time she used the special smile that she gave him the night of the party. "I was really looking forward to spending the day with you but it's OK," said Yoruichi with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"I'll," his voiced cracked, "I'll get into trouble for skipping class." It wasn't "no" or a "yes" it was an excuse and Yoruichi saw right through it.

"Byakuya, it'll be OK, I promise. I'm a captain. I'll just write you an excuse. So what do you want to do first? "

Byakuya paused before answering. Byakuya wasn't sure if he should take Yoruichi up on her offer. He knew he should be in class. This is might be another trick, but she'd get in trouble too. I did want to do my demonstration today. I just got promoted to the senior class, if I don't show up the other students will think I was lying about my kido skills. Byakuya pounded his fist into his hand; I have to go to class. He looked up into Yoruichi's smiling face, open his mouth and said nothing.

Just then Tessai walked into the room. "Good day Byakuya-kun. Yoruichi-dono, may I speak with you for a moment?"

"Sure Tessai. Byakuya I'll be back soon. Think of something while I am gone." Yoruichi walked with Tessai out of the room slowly passing Byakuya captivating his senses again with the calm scent of lavender.

Good thing for Byakuya when she left that smile left too. "I'll leave while she's gone. That's what I'll do. I'll escape now. " Byakuya attempted to leave but was quickly apprehended by Soi Fon before he could even leave the room. Byakuya had a height advantage over Soi Fon it boosted his confidence. He was sure he could take the petite dark-headed girl. "How dare you put your hands on me" screamed Byakuya. Byakuya grabbed Soi Fon's hand to remove it from his arm. Before he could get a good grip on her hand Soi Fon quickly grabbed his arm twisted hand and slammed him into the ground.

"You will not escape from here as long as I am on watch prisoner," as she stood over dazed Byakuya. She glared at him flaring her nostrils. "I don't know what you did but if Yoruichi-sama brought you in it must be bad."

Byakuya tried to gather himself so he could stand. He stood up and matched Soi Fon glare for glare. "Why you BI-" before Byakuya could finish Soi Fon completed a side swipe; sending Byakuya crashing down on his bum. He couldn't believe Soi Fon was so fast.

Soi Fon stood over him and pressed his chest down with her foot. Byakuya resisted and fought his way back up. He managed to push Soi Fon's foot up and sent her flying back, but Soi Fon quickly recovered. As soon as Byakuya stood up Soi Fon dropped kicked him in his stomach. Knocking the wind out of him and sending him crashing down once again. "Stay down or I will make you sorry", barked Soi Fon.

Just then they heard Yoruichi and Tessai returning. Soi Fon stood at attention just as Yoruichi walked in the room. Byakuya was slowing getting up from floor; he was still a little dazed. "Byakuya why were you on the floor?" If Yoruichi finds out what happened she'd never let me live it down. Byakuya didn't say anything. Yoruichi walked over and sat down in her chair and grabbed a few cookies from the plate next her. "Byakuya, have a cookie. Soi Fon what are you still doing here? I thought you left to do rounds. I thought you would've been over to the 12th by now."

"I know Yoruichi-sama but when I was leaving I discovered this prisoner trying to escape." Soi Fon stopped as soon as the words 12th Division registered. "The 12th why would I be at there?"

"Prisoner Byakuya-bo isn't prisoner Soi Fon he's my khoai", Yoruichi said gleefully. Soi Fon turned and gave Byakuya an evil look as he dusted himself off. He cut his eyes at Soi Fon and walked over and took a cookie out of spite since he didn't really care for sweets. "He's going to be spending a great deal time here so, no more fighting you two". Both Byakuya and Soi Fon looked shocked as they looked at Yoruichi. "Hand-to-hand is something else we'll have to work on too", said Yoruichi after finishing her cookie. "Don't worry about it Byakuya, Soi Fon is proficient at hand-to-hand. I know I trained her you didn't stand a chance". Soi Fon gushed over the compliment. "Soi Fon on your way out please let Kufo and Ell know that Byakuya and I are not be disturb unless it is a code blue."

"What! But Yoruichi-sama you have to meet with"

"No buts Soi Fon, everything has been taken care of, why don't you take a few hours and visit Kisuke?"

Soi Fon started to get little flustered, "No why would I, I don't want to spend time with him."

"Oh come on Soi Fon, I know when you do your rounds you always spend a little more time at the 12th", Yoruichi said slyly.

Soi Fon hesitated as the blush filled her cheeks. " That's only because I think Kisuke is up to something. He's always up to something."

"Ok then investigate Kisuke for the day." Yoruichi winked at Soi Fon. Soi Fon started to make one more plea but was stopped before say anything. "Go ahead Soi Fon you have my orders."

"Yes Yoruichi-sama, would you like for me escort your khoai back to the academy? It is on the way. I will ensure his safety." Soi Fon waited for a reply as Yoruichi finished her glass of milk.

"That will not be necessary. Yoruichi and I are spending the day together," responded Byakuya just before taking a big bite out his cookie.

Soi Fon's eyes grew wide. She turned back to Yoruichi for confirmation. "Ah, that was good," said Yoruichi has finished her milk. "He is right Soi Fon. We are going to be spending the entire day together. This evening I will need for you to gather all the reports from the officers and place them in my office. I'll review them tonight".

"But Yoruichi-sama you also have-"

"Soi Fon sometimes you can be annoying, I said no "buts" and I told you everything has been taken care of. You're the one that will be late making their rounds. "

"I am so sorry Yoruichi-sama. I'm leaving right now." Soi Fon flashed stepped away.

That's right run and finish your rounds girl. I am the one spending the day with Yoruichi. The smug smile fell from Byakuya's face. The day with Yoruichi, damn I should've had that annoying girl take me back to class.

"Byakuya I hope you've thought of something by now". Yoruichi broke Byakuya's thought. He hadn't thought of anything. "So what will it be Byakuya-bo? You know we can do anything you want to do."

"Anything?" responded Byakuya.

"Sure anything, you just name it"

"I don't know there is one thing but (wait Yoruichi is a princesses so we might just be able to, if we do it here), I know what I want to do", Byakuya said with a slight smile and gleam in his eyes.
