The first thing Rukia expected to see when she woke up this morning were to be one of Rangiku's large assets right in her face while the busty woman wore a revealing outfit and offering some fresh food.

So seeing Rangiku's bubbly naked rear taking up 80% of her vision, a apron draping over the other side of the butt being the only thing seemingly covering Rangiku, and the scintillating aroma of a tamagoyaki filling her nostrils didn't really make her jump out of bed and scream out in surprise like a generic anime male protagonist in a generic harem anime. Rukia just got out of her bed and stood up to face Rangiku. Rangiku handed her a plate of breakfast. "Thanks." Rukia simply said as she got into her good.

"Not very surprised, huh?" Rangiku chortled as she readjusted her apron's hip straps. Yeah, Rukia nodded. It was looking fitting there. "I guess I'm getting too predictable. Guess I need to get myself a maid outfit…you into maids?"

"Maid outfit…" Rukia repeated under a muttering breath before speaking out loud, "No. We haven't gotten that far in our 'relationship'…" She put stress on the last word to make sure Rangiku understood her very well. "…to get into fetish gear. I do appreciate the meal tho'…" Rukia sighed as she bit into the rolled-up omelet, expecting it to taste something rotten and foul, (Pun not intended) something burnt with the slight hint of oregano.

…ultimately, it tasted like a egg. She wasn't expecting a explosion of flavor, but at least she could chew and swallow the tamagoyaki without much of a problem. Rangiku clapped her hands upon seeing her new lover enjoy her breakfast. "Looks like that cookbook worked out after all!" She cheered. "I'm going to make some more…"

"Wait, wait." Rukia reached out and took Rangiku by the arm before the busty woman could exit the room. Rangiku bounced right into Rukia, breasts first of course. Rukia sighed while gently pushing off Ragniku. "Look, what time is it?" Rukia turned her head out the window to look towards the water clock. "Eight AM?" Rukia smacked her lips as she tried to think of what that meant to her. "...I know today's duties start at nine-thirty…but something else happens at eight in morning today…"

"We go on a date and get relaxed before work?" Rangiku asked with a crooked smile.

"Nah." Rukia weakly waved back, her drowsiness catching up to her. "Something else…" Rukia's eyes then darted to Rangiku's apron. "Woah woah woah…" Recognizing the apron, Rukia jumped back. "Where the hell did you get that apron?" She asked.

"From the closet?" Rangiku asked, her smile fading and raising a eyebrow in question.

"Don't you recognize the character!" Rukia exclaimed, pointing a finger toward the big character displayed as the only decoration on the apron. Rangiku looked down to see a smiling green leaf waving with it's left hand. It looked familiar to the well-rounded individual. Everything stopped as she turned around to think where she had seen the character before, letting Rukia see her still naked rear. "It's Byakuya's." Rukia gave a hint.

"Byakuya wouldn't make a thing like this…" Rangiku put her hands on her hips, giving a look towards Rukia that said, "yeah right!"

"It's the Wakame Ambassador!" Rukia exasperated. "Byakuya planned for this stupid seaweed to be sold as candy and taiyaki, but it didn't work out! We wears that stupid apron…"

"If it's stupid, than why do you care?" Rangiku pointed out, turning around.

"Look, did he see you…like that?" Rukia waved her hands out all over Rangiku's uncovered body. Rukia hadn't seen this much skin on Rangiku since the time Rukia stumbled into the showers and saw Rangiku showering. Thinking back that far caused Rukia to blush up a bit. Rangiku caught onto this, and a twisted smile came upon her lips.

"Yes." Rangiku lied, but Rukia didn't catch on and gasped, covering her mouth as the horror of the future consequences came over her. "Yes, he saw me dance out of the shower without a towel and take the apron. For a second there, I thought he was going to do something, but all he did was blubber and try to get a single word out." Rangiku started a slow dance. This only made Rukia shake more in fear. "So, as he was standing in front of the pantry, I had to…" Rangiku demonstrated by swinging her large hips at a toy bunny sitting on a drawer. The bunny went flying off; like someone took a club to it. Rukia openly screamed. "He got right back up and scampered away!" Rangiku laughed.

"You didn't!" Rukia wailed. "You didn't! You didn't!"

"Oh, I did!" Rangiku pounced onto Rukia, taking both of them to the floor. "And now!" Rangiku started to do a crazy little laugh. "I'm going to make you mine!"

"Get off!" Rukia pleaded, becoming all hysterical much like that generic anime male protagonist mentioned above. Rangiku leaned in…

"What is going on in there Rukia?" Banged a authoritative voice and hand. Rukia recognized the noise coming from Byakuya and threw Rangiku off her. "I just got up, and we have a hour before we go on duty."

"Just got tangled up in bed, that's all." Rukia called out, giving a deadly glare to Rangiku. "I'll be out in a minute." Byakuya didn't respond and just left. As soon as his footfalls were out of earshot, Rukia grabbed Rangiku by the shoulder straps and held her up. "What. Were. You. Thinking?"

"Just playing around?" Rangiku meekly replied.

Byakuya might have been severally drowsy last night when Rangiku came over, but he still remembered that she was living with them now. He expected to see her walking in wearing the most flimsy and transparent robe, but his eyes went wide to see her wear her something more concealing. She looked to be embarrassed wearing this much clothing as she sat down. Rukia looked pleased with herself as she sat next to Rangiku.

Byakuya sipped his tea. Perhaps Rukia could keep Rangiku in line and make living with the infamous lieutenant of the 10th Division bearable.
