This is Week 1: Challenge 1 ~ part 6. Use each trait from the poem Monday's Child to write a one-shot.

Summary: Toshiro's sister tries to get him to play with her, but his nose is stuck in paper work.
Notes:This one-shot works with my theory that Bambietta is also the child of Rangiku and Gin and is Toshiro's twin. The good guys have won as well.

Saturday's Child
~Saturday's child works hard for a living~

A ticking sound could be heard over the sound of a brush as the clock hands moved around the face indicating the seconds, minutes and hours as it passed. Two bright teal eyes were glued to the papers in front of him, his mouth twisted up into a deep frown as he continued working on getting the paperwork finished. The sooner he finished the paperwork, the sooner he could work on his training and the sooner he could take his nap so that he could grow taller.

The small taicho of the tenth division was so into the task at hand that he didn't hear footsteps coming closer to his desk, though in part this was because the person in question was as light on their feet as he was. Two hands suddenly slammed onto the desk, the sound of hands hitting wood jarring him from what he was doing, causing him to knock over the bottle of ink onto the latest piece of paperwork he was concentrating on.

Toshiro's mouth opened with the corners of his mouth pinched while his eyes widened and went out of focus for a few seconds. With his mouth still open his eyes looked up at his twin, snapping shut upon realizing who it was. "Basterbine!"

"Basterbine, Basterbine. It's Bam...beit...ta." The girl's mouth was twisted up into a frown, her own bright teal eyes narrowed at him. She removed her hands from the edge of the desk front and folded her arms across her chest. "Why is it you choose to distance yourself from me like this. You are my twin you know."

"First off, I'm busy. I'm also on duty. This means I don't have time for pleasantries with you, not to mention the fact I need to be acting in a formal manner towards everyone right now." The child taicho narrowed his eyes. "Plus... you're insisting that I act in a familiar manner with you despite the fact you are still a complete stranger to me. Of course I'm going to be informal around you and calling you by your last name. And..."

The female's mouth twisted up in anger before storming around the other side of the desk. Before he could say something about how ruining his paper work made him upset she reached out and grabbed him by the front of his uniform, yanking him up onto his feet. "You don't get it do you?"

"What do you mean I don't get it. You and I may be twins but we're complete strangers to each other." The corners of Bambietta's mouth twitched and she let go of the front of his uniform. The next thing Toshiro knew her hand was coming across his face, leaving a stinging feeling. He turned to her, his eyes wide as well as watering slightly in the corners. "What was that for?"

"You don't get it do you?" The female glowered at him, causing him to look away. "Why are you not wanting to look me in the face?"

"You're taller then me. That makes me uncomfortable." This statement caused his other cheek to suddenly sting. "What is wrong with you?"

"No, what is wrong with you? You've told me that I'm a stranger despite being your twin. You can't look me in your face."

"I explained to you that I can't act in a familiar manner with you because we don't know each other."

"How can we get to know each other when you've cooped yourself up in the office? You don't spend any time with me and won't even look at me." Bambietta shoved her face in front of his, causing him to flinch as well as pull away.

"It's not as if... it isn't as if..." Toshiro's hand touched the ink covered desk. "I need to get this cleaned up."

"Stop avoiding me!" The boy paused again, the corners of his mouth deepening. He glanced away again. "Do you hate me or something?"

"No. I just..." There came silence as she waited for his answer. "I'm just not sociable like you. Even if I want..." The rest came under his breath. "...to get to know you I don't know how."

"That's it?" The girl placed her hands on her hips. "That's stupid you know."

"What?" The child taicho looked up, his teal eye's widening from surprise. "You..."

"Take a break from work. Come play with me."

"I don't have time. I have to finish the paperwork, then it's training and then..." Toshiro flinched. "I shouldn't tell her that I still take naps."

"And then what?"

Letting out a deep sigh he spoke carefully, having the feeling that it would backfire of him. "I need to take a nap so I can catch up to you height wise."

"You're stupid." Bambietta's words indicated that she was frustrated with him.

"Look... it's not. I've..."

"You're fine the way you are. I just want to be able to spend time with you because you're my twin."

Toshiro paused. "I still need to finish my work. You came in here and made more work for me."

"Nii-sama..."

"Look, at least let me get this cleaned up. If I don't it will stain the desk."

"Get one of your subordinates to do it."

"What? That would be irresponsible."

"What are subordinates for?"

"I don't want to hear a lecture about subordinates when I know for a fact you have cut your own in half killing them."

"You know for a fact?" Bambietta narrowed her eyes at him.

"Yes... I overheard others of the Vandenreich."

"You heard, but you haven't confirmed. You haven't bothered to socialize with the rest of the family."

Toshiro glanced away. "It's been confirmed because I've heard more then one speak of it."

"Yeah... there is such a thing as a rumor. I can tell you that nothing of the sort occurred."

"I also know you're lying to me." The boy glanced at the desk. "We may be strangers, but I am able to read you far better then you're able to read me. Maybe you can read me as well as we're being twins, but you aren't making any effort to try and know who I am and instead are trying to force me to become someone I'm not."

"This is coming from someone who doesn't know who he is." The girl let out a deep sigh. "Fine. I'll leave you to your stupid work. That doesn't mean though that I am going to give up."
