Writers note: Yo fellow fan fic readers! Here is another chappy or ya, and at the end of this chapter there is a twist :) make sure to read! Thanks! (and this chapter is sorta shorter than the others, but that's okay cause its supposed it be ;))
The 10 shinigami walked into the restaurant/bar. They were being treated by Rebecca as a celebration for her being better.
"I called earlier and made a reservation for a private room" said Rebecca to the others.
"Really? Cool! Now I won't have to worry if I get really drunk" said Matsumoto.
They were led by a man to the private room that Rebecca had reserved. As they all sat down he brought out the drinks and put meat on the small grill.
"(Oh, I've never gone drinking in a private room. Come to think of it, have I ever gone out for a drink?)" thought Rukia as she was also invited.
"Hey, everyone. Since we're all here, why don't we have a drinking contest? Whoever drinks the most gets 5,000 yen, whoever drinks the least has to pay it." said Matsumoto.
"(Oh god, I shouldn't have chosen to come. I don't want to have to pay)" thought Byakuya.
"Yeah! Heh, but I'll be the winner" bragged Renji.
"No you won't Renji!" said Rukia.
"Oh yeah? Since when was the last time you came out drinking? Your gunna loose"
"That's what you think!" she replied back even though it was true she had never been out drinking before.
"Oh look, the meat is done!" said Rebecca.
As everyone was getting their meat, Rebecca snuck over to Byakuya.
"Hey, if ya want I can ask them if you don't have to participate" Rebecca said in a low voice so that no one would hear what she was saying.
"It's okay Rebecca. I do not want everybody thinking that I can't drink" said Byakuya.
"But... you can't, right?" she said.
"It's alright. I can manage maybe half a cup. Rukia has never been out drinking before so she will probably be worse than me."
"Okay, if your sure." said Rebecca.
She returned to her seat and got her meat and sake.
"Itadakimasu" she said as she took a bite of her food and drank the whole first cup.
"Heh, I will not loose!" said Iba.
So as time went on, everyone was having a fun time. Until Shunsui had noticed that Byakuya had barely touched his drink.
"Hey Byakuya, aren't you gunna drink? You're going to lose." he said.
"I am just taking my time. I will not lose." Byakuya said calmly.
He looked over to see that Rukia had two cups of sake already.
"Ahh, I can't drink anymore" said Rukia.
"(What am I going to do? She had two cups? I don't want them to think of me as a looser. I guess I'll try and drink a little more)" he thought as he was already lightheaded from a half a cup.
He got two new cups filled with sake, and he drank both.
Rebecca stared in shock for a moment. Everyone else was carrying on like normal.
Byakuya sat for over a minute not doing anything. Not even looking up from the two cups of sake he just drank.
After a minute, he crawled up to Rebecca.
Even though Rebecca was half drunk already, she could tell that something was wrong with Byakuya.
"Hey are you okay?" she asked.
Everyone else was already drunk and carrying on between themselves so they did not notice Rebecca and Byakuya.
"Hey, are you okay Bya? You said that you can't drink. Well you just chugged 2 and a half cups. And . . . What are you doing?" she asked.
Byakuya was sitting down like a child and twirling Rebecca's hair.
"Gyour hair iz pretty" he said completely drunk. Rebecca was surprised that Byakuya did not already pass out.
"Umm, hey I can take you home if you want. Your completely drunk"
"Hahaha, you're funny. Cats donkt sleep at home" he said.
"Cats? What the hell!" she said bursting out in laughter as it was extremely rare to see Byakuya in his current state.
"Hey, . . . hi" he said out of randomness.
"Umm hi. You sure you don't want me to take ya home cause.."
Byakuya then fell asleep and fell into Rebecca's lap.
"Hah, I guess you really can't drink" she said putting her hand on his head.
"Wow! Your hair is super soft!" she exclaimed to the unconscious captain.
"Rebecca! I toldya you had thehots for captain 6!" said a drunk Mastsumoto.
"Shuddup! Ya dunno what your takin about" said Rebecca drinking another cup.
A few hours later Rebecca woke up and everyone had already gone home.
"Hmm, looks like I had a little too much last night. I must have fallen asleep" she said as she had woken up still sitting up.
As she went to stand up, she noticed that Byakuya was still asleep on her lap.
"Oh. Haha, I had forgot you fell asleep. You are a horrible drinker" she said to the sleeping shinigami.
"-sigh- Guess I'll take ya home now" she said standing up putting Byakuya on her back.
"Hmm, your lighter than you seem" she said disappearing with him on her back.
"Here we are, were at your house" she said.
"WOW! This place is huge!" she said as it was her first time in Byakuya's house.
She took him to his room and set him on his bed.
"I guess I should leave a note for him so that he knows what happened when he wakes up. Lets see, where does he keep the paper and pen?" she wondered.
She began looking through the drawers looking for a pen and paper when she opened his boxers drawer.
"BWAHAAAHAA!" she burst out laughing.
His boxers had little characters that looked sort of like a green cloud with hands and feet and a face.
"This is too much!" she said rolling over on the floor, almost crying she was laughing so hard.
Because if the loud laughing Byakuya woke up.
He looked up to see his underwear drawer open and a young girl almost laughing to death on the floor.
"What are you doing here?" he asked from his bed not remembering the night before.
"Hua... Oh... Sorry Bya" she said trying to catch her breath.
"Don't ya remember last night at all?" she asked.
"No, not really" he replied.
"Well you see you, me, and a bunch of other people went out for a celebration drink last night"
"But I don't drink"
"I know that, but Matsumoto had a contest for whoever could drink the most would get 5,000 yen from the one who drank the least. Long story short ya didn't want to pay and drank two cups of sake and ended up passing out."
"Oh. Well than what are you and me doing here?" he asked.
"Well after you fell asleep I must have also, so when I woke up, you and me were the only ones left. So I brought you home since you were still asleep. Oh and sorry bout' going through your stuff. I was trying to find a pen and paper so I could leave you a note."
"Oh. Okay, well thank you for taking me home" he said.
"No prob! You can go back to sleep anyways. It's still 3:30 in the morning. I'll see you tomorrow!" she said.
"Okay, goodbye Rebecca" he said drifting off to sleep.
So Rebecca went back home and slept for the night. She then woke up to something surprising in the morning.
"Augh! Who the hell did this?" she yelled in the soul society newspaper room.
"Matsumoto came in and brought these pictures and told us to put them in the paper. We had to listen to a vice captain" explained one of the men.
EARLIER THAT MORNING
Rebecca woke up to see Byakuya standing by her bed demanding her to wake up.
"What's the matter Bya?" asked Rebecca still half asleep.
"What's the meaning of this?" he said holding up the newspaper.
On the front page there was a picture of Byakuya sleeping in Rebecca's lap as she was also asleep.
"Shit. They took a photo!" she said now fully awake.
"What happened?" asked Byakuya.
"Well after you got drunk you sort of passed out in my lap, and well you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you. I didn't think that anyone would take a picture!" she said.
"I wouldn't have minded" said Byakuya rubbing his temples.
"I'll go tell the news place to stop selling these. It's still early so no one has probably gotten theirs yet" she said.
So that's how she ended up where she was currently. Yelling at the news guy to stop selling the newspapers immediately.
As she was arguing with the man, another shinigami came up to Rebecca with a message.
"Third squad captain. I have an urgent message" said the man.
"Ugh, can it wait?"
"I'm afraid not maam'" he said.
"Okay. What is it?"
"Your mother from the living world is wondering where you are."
