"You want us to what?!"
Kenpachi and Hitsugaya gawked at the Soutaicho, seeing him open his eyes slightly. And Kuchiki, damn bastard, was standing next to the desk with a serious look in his eye. Why the hell would he suddenly order this?! They've been fine for the last two years! Hitsugaya only started considering it, but he was going to ask Kayo if she was going to be okay with it. But now...?! He doesn't know how she'll react to this news, she might even...
"No," Kenpachi said, crossing his arms and giving a frown. "I ain't transferring the woman."
"You will-"
"Just 'cause Kuchiki wants to transfer his doesn't mean I have to," Kenpachi said, letting out a scoff and sending the noble a glare. "Try transferrin' that redhead, and if she doesn't dump your ass I'll transfer mine." He said as he grinned, seeing the Taicho of the sixth narrow his eyes and send him a cold glare.
"I was considering transferring Kay-Shigeko," Hitsugaya quickly corrected, frowning deeply. "but I don't think that would be the best idea. She barely spoke to anyone when she was first put into my division. I don't know any other division that will suit her."
"Ukitake." Byakuya said, seeing the prodigy send him a dark glare.
"Nobody's asking you." He snapped quietly.
"Who would even take the woman, anyway?" Kenpachi asked, crossing his arms with a scowl. "She fights and talks like everyone at the eleventh. I doubt any prissy ass division will take her." He ignored the glares the three Taichos shot him, looking away with a snort.
"Two weeks."
Kenpachi, Byakuya, and Hitsugaya shot him puzzled looks, seeing the Soutaicho open his eyes to give them a stare that made anyone shiver in fear. Seriously, they didn't doubt that even Aizen pissed himself from seeing such a look. They waited for him to elaborate, seeing him motion Byakuya to stand with the other two to stand in front of his desk. Doing as what he instructed, Byakuya ignored the glares the other two shot him, facing the Soutaicho with narrowed eyes.
"You each have two weeks to tell your subordinates and make plans." Yamamoto said, seeing the three blink and widen their eyes slightly.
"So what? We have no choice in the matter?" Hitsugaya asked, stepping forward with a frown. "We don't even know if they'll accept this."
"Whether or not they like it doesn't matter. Kuchiki Taicho suggested the idea for his subordinate, and I decided I will no longer let subordinates 'date' their Taichos," Yamamoto said, seeing the two frown at the news. "Two weeks." He repeated, seeing the three hesitate before they nodded.
"...Fuck you, Kuchiki."
"Zaraki," Yamamoto said firmly, sending the man a stare.
He swore, they could act like children when they wanted to.
Kaori and Kayo gawked at Riko.
Riko was grinning, her hands placed on her hips as she waited for their responses to her damn question. A question that had them blushing brightly and their jaws hanging open. They felt incredibly guilty that their Taichos found out they were at that event, and Kaori had sensed the Taicho had gone there a few seconds after they left, so they currently trying to think of ways to make it up to them and convince them they weren't leaving.
"You want us... to sleep... with them... to make up with them?" Kaori asked, a very dumbfounded expression on her face. "H-How will that make everything better?!" She snapped, crossing her arms and scowling.
"Aren't men crazy about sex?" Riko asked, frowning in confusion.
"Not all of them!" Kaori snapped, slapping the woman over the head with a scowl.
"B-But I studied and t-the books said-"
"Books!" Kaori ground out, her eyes wide with rage and her teeth grit. "It's not real life!"
"So what? How are you gonna make it up to Kuchiki Taicho?" Riko asked, glaring at the redhead with a scowl, crossing her arms over her chest and standing tall. "Kiss him and everything's all nice and dandy? Full of rainbows and unicorns... and... marshmallows," She received odd stares. "And... other crap..."
"'Kay, we get it," Kaori said, rolling her eyes with a scoff. "Of course I'm not gonna sleep with him. I'm gonna..."
She trailed off, looking to the side with narrowed eyes, thinking slowly. She couldn't do much stuff... couldn't cook for him. Scratching the back of her head she looked up in thought, gaining flat stares from her friends. Wait! Kayo can cook! Grinning, she glanced at the small blonde, flinching when Riko smacked the back of her head.
"Ya gotta do it yourself!"
Damn!
"Now...?" Riko looked to the side and narrowed her eyes. "How do I entice the Taicho without seeming obvious...?"
"You're still on about that!" Kaori snapped, glaring darkly at the woman.
"She has a choice to do that," Kayo said quietly, widening her eyes and blushing brightly. "As long as she doesn't tell us what they they will do in the bedroom, it'll be fine."
"Oh, I would kill her if she tells us!"
"I'm right here," Riko said, frowning at the two.
"Yeah, we can see," Kaori said, sticking her tongue out at her, letting out a huff. "Why can't we just cook for 'em?"
Riko blinked. "I don't know how to cook. What? You expect me to give the Taicho a tray full of charred food?"
Kaori and Kayo snorted, which made the woman frown deeply, both clearing their throats and looking away. Okay, the only one that could cook was Kayo, since she devoted her time in the Chiharu house to cleaning and cooking, and spending time with Kaori as requested by her father. But how can they make up? Unfortunately, Riko only had one idea she was set on.
"I'll drink with him!" Riko said, grinning widely.
"How will that make it up to him?"
"Make up for what?"
She received flat stares.
Kenpachi grumbled, heading back to the division with a scowl plastered on his face. Friggin' old bastard... He didn't say shit before, and one fucking word from princess Kuchiki and he goes and orders him to transfer the woman! No discussion! That's it! Just do and... whatever... Hell, he wasn't even making any sense anymore! Walking around the corner, finally managing to find his own division... in the span of two hours... he froze in step.
Riko arched her back and let out a groan, her face flushed, clawing at the ground with furrowed brows. She hung her head and panted, fisting her hands and shaking.
"OWOWOWOWOW!" Riko yelled, hitting the ground rapidly while the third seat sat on her back with a grin, twisting her leg back. "Okay! Okay! I give! Get the hell off!" She tried crawling away.
She let out a sigh when he released her leg and slumped against the ground, blinking when she saw the Taicho frozen at the gate. Rising to her feet she held up a hand with a grin, greeting the man. Kenpachi's eyes were shadowed over, staring intently at the woman. That... just now... looked... Riko frowned when he didn't react to anything, glancing at Ikkaku questioningly to see him shrug. Kenpachi shook his head and growled, steeling himself and striding towards the woman to tell her the news. She was getting kicked out. It was simple. She was any other subordinate.
Didn't mean anything.
He opened his mouth...
"Zaraki Taicho!" Riko said, raising her arm and grinning widely. "I want you to know something!" She said, jumping in spot excitedly.
Okay...? That was weird, even for Riko.
"I'm ready to tell you-"
"Hey, Hisako!" Takeshi yelled, slapping the woman's back with a wide grin. "Missed you last night! What happened? You went home with Zaraki Taicho?" He asked, raising his eyebrows a few times suggestively.
"Dumbass!" Riko snarled, punching his face with a scowl. "Don't you watch your strength?! You almost sent me to the ground!"
"Sorry," Takeshi said, rubbing his nose with a pout. "I just considered the fact that you have a seat."
Riko scowled. "...Shuddap."
Kenpachi looked between the two and frowned deeply. What the hell happened? She hated his guts when they first met and now she was all buddy-buddy with him? Well, not exactly buddy-buddy. She just jumped him a moment ago and now strangling him with a snarl. Takeshi flailed like crazy before he slumped, which made Riko blink and pause, removing her hands. As soon as she did Takeshi shot up and grabbed her wrists, grinning widely before he threw her to the ground.
She huffed, turning to scowl at him before her eyes snapped wide open.
Laughter filled the air, everyone turning their heads to see Takeshi tickling the woman with a wide grin, the woman flailing her arms and legs as she laughed. Some people smirked, all glancing at the Taicho briefly before looking back at the laughing woman. Their heads whipped back to the Taicho, all paling when they saw the absolute fury burning behind his eyes, his arms crossed over his chest and his upper lip curled in a snarl.
"C-Can't breathe! Can't breathe!" Riko yelled, a wide grin stretched across her face as she panted.
Takeshi raised his hands above her, grinning widely before he moved to the side when he leg shot out. Scowling, Riko crossed her arms stubbornly while she laid on the ground. She missed.
Kenpachi continued to scowl, continuing to send daggers at the oblivious man. He didn't like this guy now.
"I can do it!"
Kayo narrowed her eyes, tying her sleeves back, using her teeth to tie a knot to make sure it stayed. She glanced at the food on the counter, biting her lip and nodding. Okay, now she just had to decide what to cook. Pursing her lips she looked up in thought, furrowing her brows in wonder. Hmmm... She didn't really know. She hasn't cooked for herself or anyone for a while now. All she needed to do was try to guess what Hitsugaya Taicho liked. Oh!
Hitsugaya Taicho liked amanatto!
But... she didn't know the recipe for that. Lowering her head Kayo let out a small, sad sigh. Then, she'll just have to find it! Finding her resolve, Kayo looked up with pursed lips, turning to head to the library. There had to be cook books there.
Elsewhere, Renta stumbled down the hallway, holding his head with a small groan. Dammit. Why doesn't he learn that the more he drinks the more he'll wake up with a head splitting headache? Looking up, he watched blankly as Kayo ran down the hallway. She quickly greeted him as she jogged by, the tall man turning to stare after her with a tired look on his face. Where was she going so early in the morning? Or was it going to lunch...? Heck, he didn't know. Turning, he went towards the office once more.
Finding the office, he slid the door open and stumbled in, immediately heading for the couch. He didn't notice the intense look Hitsugaya had on his face, having been staring at the same form for the past ten minutes.
Two weeks...
There must be a way to tell her without hurting her feelings...
Hitsugaya groaned and raised both his hands to touch his face. But how?! Transferring her meant demoting her and sending her to a place where she didn't know anyone! Perhaps he should send her to Ukitake's division, since the man was kind enough to take in anyone. Kayo was shy, Ukitake was the nicest man around. She would have to talk to him! But, the thought of telling her...
He was no coward, being a Taicho and all, but maybe... he should let Matsumoto tell her.
No, he couldn't do that. Frowning in frustration, he let out a sigh and let his eyes fall shut. Hearing the door slide open, he reopened his eyes and glared at his female third seat when she let out a whoosh of air and complained it took her a while to get the paperwork to the Taicho of the second division because she was, in her words, 'being a complete and total bitch.' Rolling his eyes, he continued to ignore everyone and go back to the problem at hand.
Never in his life did he feel so much hate for the Soutaicho.
Old bastard.
"Why's he look like a kid getting his favorite toy taken away?" Seika asked, ready for the scolding of her life.
"Dunno, he's been lookin' like that since I got here." Renta said, covering his eyes as he laid on the couch.
"...Where's the fukutaicho?"
"Dunno."
"...You're useless."
"I thought that was already obvious?"
Seika rolled her eyes, frowning when she realized that the Taicho didn't say anything to acknowledge what she said about calling him a child. Glancing at him, she saw that he was rubbing his face with a frown of frustration on his face. Furrowing her brows she glanced at Renta, seeing that he was also staring at the Taicho with his arm raised to see the very tense kid, seeing him shrug lightly. It's not like Hitsugaya told them how he felt.
Always been closed off.
"Taicho... you okay?" Seika asked, raising an eyebrow curiously.
"Yes."
This time, Renta frowned, glancing at his sister to see her frowning worriedly. Okay, Hitsugaya looked so serious it was starting to worry him a little. Since it wasn't about any upcoming battles, it had to be about something personal. Ah, well. It's not like he would willingly tell them. It's his business.
Kaori stared at the door, furrowing her brows for a moment. Okay, she can do this! All she had to do was apologize, and everything would be all fine and dandy!
Nodding, she raised her hand to knock, letting out a surprised yell when someone knocked on the door for her. Whipping her head to the side she saw Kenshin staring at the door with an expressionless look on his face, turning his head slightly to look at her before the side of his lip quirked upwards in amusement. The redhead blinked before scowling at the man. What? Does he think she scares easily?
Inwardly scoffing, she strode into the office confidently, raising her hand in a greeting.
"Hey, Kuchiki Taicho, Abarai fukutaicho," Kaori said, seeing the other redhead look up and frown in confusion when she called him by his respective title. "It's work hours." She said as she shrugged.
Kenshin set the papers down, nodding curtly to the Taicho before he turned and head for the door. He had to scowl when Kaori slapped his back, her way of saying good-bye, turning his head to send her a dark glare before he continued on. Rolling her eyes, the redhead watched as he shut the door. Jeez, what? Does he have a stick up his arse, like Kuchiki Taicho? Probably shouldn't say that. Turning, she frowned in confusion when she saw Byakuya glaring at her.
"...What?"
Renji smirked. "You didn't realize you said that out loud?"
Kaori blinked. "...Oh..." She murmured, rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish grin on her face.
Byakuya composed himself, closing his eyes and steadying his heart. He can do this. This was the best decision for the both of them. As he heard most of his crude subordinates say, screw what that fool Zaraki said. Reopening his eyes, he had to blink when he saw Kaori bowing down towards him, leaning over the desk to see her better. Renji turned his head to send him a puzzled look, receiving a somewhat confused look himself.
"I'm sorry for going to that... that... thing last night!" Kaori yelled, looking up with a pleading look on her face, surprising the two high seats. "I would never try to get into another relationship! Please don't believe that! I..." She blushed profusely. "I love you!"
Byakuya blinked, ignoring the way his fukutaicho snicker. "I... Thank you, Chiharu."
"So... we're good?" Kaori asked, furrowing her eyebrows worriedly.
"Yes."
"Oh, thank god."
She lowered her head and closed her eyes with a relieved smile on her face. Now... Byakuya was a bit hesitant to tell her he was transferring her. It was rare she would admit telling him that she loved him, as it was also rare for him to tell her his feelings. But now, after hearing that she was worried she angered him, which... put him in a bad spot. How can he tell her now that she said... that?
He didn't tell Renji, the only one that knew was the Soutaicho himself, and he was going to discuss it with Kaori before he got the papers ready.
But now...
He lowered his head when Kaori hugged him with a bright grin on her face, his mood suddenly sour. What can he do now?
Meanwhile, Renji stared at him in confusion, quirking a brow before shrugging.
He can do it! It was simple! His resolve strengthened, Kenpachi stood up with an intense look on his face, gaining his three top seats' attention. Ikkaku frowned in confusion as the Taicho crossed the room and towards the door, leaving Yachiru behind. Though the fukutaicho didn't mind, shrugging before she went back to drawing. Yumichika was watching in curiosity, the third and fifth seat frowning when the Taicho hesitated at the door, frowning and glaring at the door before he slid it open and walked down the hallway.
"Hisako!"
Ah, looking for Riko. Though why he looked like that they didn't know, since it was only the woman he was looking for.
Heading down the hallway, he looked into the rooms he often saw people occupying, scowling when she wasn't in there. Okay, think for a moment. Where does she usually hang out? People got out of the way when they saw the utter blank look of confusion on his face. Shit, he didn't know where she usually hung out. She usually just went to the office when she wanted to talk to him, or complain about the bastards around the divisions.
People moved out of his way as he stalked down the hallways, scowling when he couldn't find her. Dammit! Okay, she usually ate, and how she didn't gain any weight he didn't know, so she must be in the mess hall.
Turning, he set his sights on his destination, growling when some of his subordinates didn't move out of the way in time. He frowned when he heard the woman from inside the room, with someone else, looking inside before he frowned and stared at the sight flatly. Riko had challenged Suzuki to an arm wrestle. Both were grinning at each other, sitting alone at one table, both their eyes glinting. Takeshi smirked and glanced at his fingernails in a casual manner.
"Don't know how strong I can be," He taunted lightly, raising his eyebrows and smiling coyly. The woman scoffed. "I can down twenty guys!" He yelled, his eyes glinting darkly as he grinned.
"I can take down thirty!" Riko yelled, a wide grin crossing her face.
"I meant forty!"
"And I meant fifty!"
Both raising their arms, they narrowed their eyes and clasped each other's hands. He didn't like it. They were getting too close. Kenpachi glared at the two as they tried to show each other who was physically stronger. After a few moments, Riko stood up and raised her arms above her head, grinning when Takeshi groaned and hit his head on the table, obviously frustrated he lost the 'battle.' Looking up, he sent her a glare before blinking and looking past the woman. He raised his arm in greeting when he saw the Taicho making his way over, making the woman frown and turn back.
"Hey, Zaraki Taicho," Riko said, letting a wide grin cross her face. "I'm stronger than him!" She said, pointing at the dark-skinned man with a grin.
Takeshi stuck his tongue out. "For now." He said ominously, standing out and chuckling darkly as he walked away. "For now!" He yelled, turning and walking away with his head held high, trying to keep his composure.
Riko stared after him flatly. "That was... weird." She murmured, shaking her head lightly.
"Woman," Kenpachi said firmly, seeing her blink and stare up at him with curious eyes. "You're..." His mouth stayed open, trying to finish his sentence. It's a simple friggin' sentence! "You're..."
Riko narrowed her eyes and smirked. "Sexy?"
"Yeah! Wait... what?" Kenpachi asked, seeing the woman grin widely mischievously. "No! Shuddap for a moment."
"'Kay," Riko said, shrugging lightly as she raised her eyes to the Taicho's once more. "What is it?"
Kenpachi opened his mouth to flat out tell her she was getting transferred, being very serious. Except... the words wouldn't come out. Staring into her eyes, his hands started shaking as he tried getting the words out. Riko slowly started frowning, looking to the side before looking back to the tall man in confusion. A snarl slowly crossed his face, narrowing his eyes dangerously. He couldn't say it... Riko jumped back when he kicked a chair away, with someone still sitting in it, turning to glare at the closest wall.
"Fuck!"
Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes. Okay, he can do it. All he'll tell Kayo is that he's transferring her and that'll be that. There was no need for arguments. Hopefully... He wasn't used to stuff like this, but he's heard stories from many of his subordinates about breaking up with their girlfriends. Not that he'd do that to Kayo, but... that didn't mean he wasn't worried. Hearing a knock at the door, he called whoever it was to come in.
Looking up, he froze when he saw Kayo.
Dammit, not now! Swallowing hard, he tried to steady his nerves and intertwined his hands on his desk, clearing his throat to tell her the news. He blinked when a tray was set in front of him, glancing at it to see... amanatto? With a cup of milk and utensils. Frowning in confusion, he glanced up at Kayo, seeing her blush and look to the side, rubbing her arm nervously. The twins were looking over the side of the couch, having been lounging around; both their eyebrows raised an cat-like smiles on their faces.
"...So cute..." Renta murmured.
"I... wanted to apologize to you for... going to that event last night."
Hitsugaya blinked. With this new issue he completely forgot about that. He was about to wave it off, pausing and furrowing his brows when he saw the nervousness swimming around in Kayo's eyes. A year after the events with that woman's family(and he would admit some of them annoyed him) she couldn't look him in the eye without looking away in embarrassment. Now, every time they spoke she looked directly in his eyes. He had to say... he was a little proud of that fact.
"I-I didn't want you to think I was," Kayo, despite the situation and feeling so nervous, felt her face grow hotter. "going to break up with you. I only went to that event because Riko asked me to go! I wouldn't even think about breaking up with you!"
"Whoa!" Renta yelled, gaining the twos' attention, groaning loudly when his head pounded, talking quieter. "You're going to break up with her?! Dude, why?!"
Hitsugaya frowned at the human slang. "No, I had no intention of doing so."
"Thank god, 'cause if you didn't Kayo had a backup, anyway," Renta said, slumping on the couch and folding his arms behind his head with a sigh, either not noticing or ignoring the glares he received. "Now if only I had a girlfriend that was as sweet as Kayo..." He said, slowly looking to the side with a smirk crossing his face.
Seika smacked him and told him to be quiet.
"You're not?" Kayo asked quietly, seeing the white haired Taicho glance at her and shake his head. She blinked before slowly smiling brightly. "You're really not?"
Hitsugaya, once again, shook his head. Now, he had to tell her, while he had the chance. He opened his mouth to tell her, and thank her for the meal, when a loud squeal sounded. Everyone looked up in surprise, Hitsugaya widening his eyes when Kayo hugged him, suddenly around the desk. His face turned red when she rubbed her cheek against his, his blush growing a darker shade when he noticed Renta and Seika grinning wide toothy-grins when they saw the sight. Kayo was smiling, that was good, but now...
Hitsugaya felt himself smile, while inside he was screaming in discouragement.
He can't tell her now!
Kaori walked down the hallway with a wide smirk on her face. Thank god he wasn't mad. Sure looked like he was. But no one can stay mad at her! With the exception of Riko and Kayo. When she would smoke... Smoking... Raising her eyebrows slowly, she huffed lightly. Wow, it's been almost two years since she's last had a smoke. Man, that's a long time! Let's see, how old was she...?
Looking up in thought, she walked down the hallway, holding up fingers as she counted the years. Okay, she's heard it wasn't a good idea to tell people how old she was, but if she had to guess she was... over seventy years old. Raising her eyebrows in shock, she let out a low whistle. Wow, she didn't think she was that young. Compared to other shinigami she was a mere baby! Scowling, she decided to keep that information to herself.
Pausing, she let out a surprised sound, seeing someone familiar walking down the hallway.
"Dad?" Kaori said, her eyes wide with shock.
Kenta looked up and nodded curtly. "Kaoru-" He ignored the way she snapped at him to call her the name everyone has been calling her. "I've come because I've heard some news that there was an event you partook in?"
"It was a stupid thing!" Kaori said, walking up to her father and slapping his shoulder, earning her a glare. "It didn't mean anything. I went 'cause Riko asked me to."
Kenta stared at his daughter flatly. "You need to speak properly. The way you speak now is atrocious."
"Thanks, pop." Kaori said, rolling her eyes with a snort.
Kenta frowned, sending his daughter a hard stare, seeing her match his stare. People took one look at them and turned around to head back the way they came. The old, but not as old as the Soutaicho(thank god), had to smirk when his daughter slowly looked away with a scoff. He won that small battle. Turning, he motioned his daughter to follow, receiving a confused stare and following obediently. They, thankfully, had resolved any bad feelings, and it made Kaori happy to know that her father and her were now speaking to each other.
Didn't stop him from being an ass, though.
"So, how has it been since we have last spoken?" Kenta asked, staring ahead stoically.
"Fine," Kaori said, shrugging lightly. "Why?"
"Your mother and I believe that it is best you return to the cla-"
"No!" Kaori snapped, folding her arms across her chest to make an 'X,' shaking her head and scowling. "I've been fine for the past thirty-five years without your help! What's a few more years without being called a noble? Except for those stuck-up sons of b..." She trailed off in a murmur when she saw the glare directed at her. "Okay, after thirty years of hating nobles how would you react in this situation?"
Kenta delicately raised an eyebrow. "I will admit I do not know what I would do since I have not been in your situation."
"Damn right!" Kaori ignored the hard stare for her language. "I'm gonna hafta decline again, dear ol' pa."
Kenta closed his eyes and sighed in resignation once more. Another 'no' from his daughter. His wife was not going to be happy. After two and a half years of finally reconnecting with their daughter his wife had gotten more firm and even scolded him for being rude to other people, which surprised him when she first scolded him. Though, that was fine with him. She, of all people, deserved more say than anyone in his life. She is the love of life.
"...I am not old." Kenta said, turning and walking away with his head held high and his eyes closed.
Kaori blinked before smirking mischievously. "Yeah, right! You're an old guy! So old you're right up there with the Soutaicho!" She said, snickering when she earned herself an annoyed stare from her father.
"I take offense to that."
She held up her hands in surrender, raising her eyebrows and smirking when her father scoffed lightly and continued on. Letting a wide grin cross her face she jumped onto his back, making him widen his eyes and stumble in surprise at the action. What was this?! Turning, he sent her a dark glare for doing such an action. Kaori ignored it and continued to hold on.
"So, how far along is mom?" Kaori asked, grinning when he continued walking.
"She is eight months."
"So, you must be excited~!"
"I am."
"Girl or boy?"
"Your mother wants the gender to be a surprise."
"...You stud!"
Kaori snickered when she saw her father's face tinge red from embarrassment, telling her to stop behaving like a child and to get off of him. She responded by tightening her grip and snickering like a child. Who knew she had gotten so immature during the years she has been gone from the household? Letting out a soft sigh he let a smile cross his face. Oh, well. He had no complaints.
"Aw, is the old man smiling?"
Though he had his limits.
"Get off... now."
Oh, my god. 0.0 I just realized... I didn't put Ichigo in this chapter! D: Oh, well. There's still the next chapter. X3 But now the Taicho's have a task of trying to tell them. Won't that be fun? XD
I also think I'm losing my touch with writing. It used to be no problem for me to write up to six thousand words! D: Now it's gone down to five thousand. DX Which is still a lot, but for me... eeeehhhh. DX
Love it? Hate it? Is it so-so? X3
