Requested by Nadie- thank you

Yachiru, Rukia and Byakuya

Let

"Let me in, let me in!"

Or you'll blow my house down? She's already halfway there.

Rukia sighed, and secured the chair that was wedging the door shut. Yachiru hadn't thought of blasting it open yet, but she was pretty sure that she would do so soon enough.

"Let me in!"

The front hallway had already been ruined by Yachiru's creative mind and the permanent markers that some idiot had given her, and she had no idea how she was ever going to get everything looking pristine for when her brother returned home. She had tried to block off the rest of the house when she had seen an antique lampshade get re-decorated with a menacing stick figure that was shakily named 'Ken-chan'.

"Ah, no, Yachiru. Why don't you go and show Captain Zaraki your new pens?"

Her question was met with silence, and she wondered with awe whether or not her ploy had worked. She pulled back the chair and peeked around the door only to be met with the unflinching face of her brother, looking around the place as if he had never seen it before- well, she supposed, it wasn't like he had ever seen it anything short of perfect before.

Yachiru was lying on the floor, scrawling something onto the original oak floorboards.

"Nee-sama, I'm-"

"The first thing you have to learn with the Lieutenant is to divert her."

From the inside of his sleeve, he pulled out a tube of sweets, waving it in front of her until she got to her knees to reach out for it. When she did he swept the marker pen from her unresisting other hand. She was completely distracted as he swept her up in his arms and called Renji in from outside- Yachiru was deposited with him, to his dismay, for safe transferral.

"Rukia, see that someone cleans this up."

"Ah… yes, of course, Nee-sama."

He held out the marker pen to her, and she took it with some confusion.

"Make sure that is given to Abarai when he returns. Tell him that he should enlist the help of the Lieutenants of the Seventh and… yes, the Tenth Divisions, and should return this to the Eleventh. To the Captain's office, specifically."

"I… yes, I will do."

"Make sure to inform them of the damage that his Lieutenant had served us, and make sure that they do a very… thorough job."

Rukia blinked and nodded as he stepped around abandoned decorations to his rooms, unsure whether she had just been ordered to vandalize the office of another Captain with permanent markers.

If she had, then he was definitely loosing up.

Which, it appeared, had worrying consequences.
