Renta gave a wide, nervous grin, holding onto his sister as she thrashed violently to get him to let go. Across from them was Zenaku, who was breathing heavily with wide, enraged eyes. Holding him back was Ichirou, who had a flat look on his face. Both people were a mess, their hair messy and their clothing rumpled. He had been kicked... in the crotch... numerous times... Shrugging off the taller man Zenaku stumbled to the railing and leaned on it with a groan. The twins started snickering, which gained them a glare from the scarred man.
"You alright?" Shiko asked, a very amused smile across his face.
"Do I fuckin' look alright?!" Zenaku snapped, hanging his head as he gave another groan.
"Yeah, and there'll be more where that came from!" Seika snapped, glaring at the scarred man. "I should rip your dick off while I'm at it!"
"Seika!" Renta gasped, staring at his sister in horror. "Language." He chided, giving a grunt when she elbowed his stomach.
The woman got curious stares from the group, all furrowing their eyebrows in confusion. Riko and Kaori were snickering, wincing every couple of seconds as they continued to snicker. Kayo covered her face in embarrassment at Seika's behaviour. How could she say that? Sure, she always said and did what she wanted, but that... was just too much.
Nojima blinked. "What's a dick?"
Everyone in the area froze, including the guards that went to go break up the fight(they were told to stand guard in case someone attacked the prisoners). Slowly, everyone looked towards the group, seeing them all staring at Seika curiously. They didn't know what that word was...? Riko and Kaori started snickering once more, both gasping for breath as they tried to stay upright. Kayo only covered her eyes, knowing where this conversation was heading.
"A dick is... y'know." Renta gestured uncomfortably, seeing the group blink innocently.
"...A what?" Renzo asked, facing the third seat with a curious look on his face.
"A... y-y'know."
"No, we don't know." Shiko said, frowning slightly in confusion.
"It's... ah... Well, it's a... it's..."
"Out with it!" Ichirou snarled, glaring down at the two as he towered over them.
"It's a penis!" Renta screamed, covering his head as he jumped back.
That caused the group to pause and go silent. Glancing at one another in confusion they murmured to one another about the word. Riko and Kaori were on the ground, gasping for breath as they struggled to calm down. Kayo shook her head lightly, her face still covered. But if anyone looked closely they would see her shoulders shaking in laughter. Renzo and Reizo glanced at one another before they fell to the ground, laughing loudly.
"How stupid!" Renzo pounded the ground with his fist, laughing really loud and hard.
Ichirou groaned and rolled his eyes, letting out a small scoff. Great... How much shit did they not know about? He turned to walk away, frowning when the twins clung to him and continued to laugh. And laugh... and laugh... and laugh... Growling under his breath, he raised his hand. The twins cried out in pain a second later, both rubbing their heads as they sent the man pouts. He ignored them and continued on, heading towards Satoru, who stood at the console with a curious look on his face.
"So can we start again?" Ichirou asked, frowning down at the man.
"Hmm, I've been meaning to speak to you about that," Satoru said, furrowing his brows worriedly. He gestured to the console. "I may need to teach one of you how to work this." He said, receiving a stunned stare from the man. "While this project did not take that long to do, installing the defence systems will most likely take three to four days. And those right now are my top priority."
"So ya need ta teach one of us how to work this?" Ichirou asked, motioning to the machine with a frown. He received a nod, which made him narrow his eyes and huff. "Who the hell-?"
"US!" Renzo and Reizo yelled, jumping forward with wide grins.
"Hell no!" Ichirou snapped, turning to glare down at the two. They furrowed their eyebrows and slumped their shoulders. "I don't trust ya two with this... thing." He said, gesturing towards the machine.
Renzo and Reizo's lips trembled, staring up at the man with pathetic looks on their faces. Looks that made Ichirou frown and cross his arms. He wasn't budging. Their eyes grew large and watery, both whimpering quietly. He was not budging. Small streaks of tears ran down their faces, both sniffling quietly. Ichirou curled his upper lip in a snarl before he cursed loudly and turned towards the blue haired man.
"Fine! Teach these two!" Ichirou growled, letting out a huff.
The twins squealed and jumped, tackling the tall man to the ground and nuzzling him with bright smiles on their faces. Ichirou snarled at them to get off. The others grinned and snickered at the sight, gaining a dark glare from the man when he finally threw them off. Standing up he turned and stomped away. He scowled when Tetsuya rubbed his head, letting out a small sigh before he stood still to wait until the man stopped the motion.
"These dudes are weird!" Renta whispered loudly, seeing his sister nod.
They all instantly snapped their heads in his direction, causing the third seat to freeze and widen his eyes. A wide, nervous grin crossed his face. Nikito instantly stood in front of him and sent the group a stern stare, which made them glance at one another in surprise before they either nodded or grunted. Turning, they all went to go back to training. Zenaku growled lowly when he caught the woman staring, making her frown and glare back. He huffed before he walked over towards Shiko.
"I'm going through with my plan, Renta!" Seika declared, narrowing her eyes wickedly as she gave a wide, toothy grin.
"What pla- Oh...!" Renta groaned and rubbed his forehead, sending his sister a cringe. "Seika... no... just... please no."
"What plan?" Nikito asked, turning to face the two.
"Seika, my dear little sister," Renta said through clenched teeth, his eye twitching as he forced a smile across his face. "wants to... seduce... your friend..." He held his hand out towards the scarred man, who was arguing that he should train next. "...so he'll go crazy with want.. for her..."
Nikito's eyebrows shot upwards. "That's... interesting." He said, frowning slightly. "...Zenaku?" He asked, sending the woman a stunned stare.
"Yes!" Seika's grin widened.
His expression slowly grew bewildered, staring at the woman intently to see if she was serious.
"...This plan is... I don't... I..." Nikito frowned with a sigh. "This plan is stupid."
"Exactly what I said!" Renta agreed, nodding towards the grey haired man. "Seika, how is this even getting back at him?" He whispered, gesturing towards the man with a frown. "You barely talked for like... ten minutes."
"We were fighting. There was no time for talking," Seika said, glaring at the scarred man, which made him frown when he sensed her gaze on him and turned to frown at her. "Look at him... All calm. Stupid bastard. Didn't even apologize to me...!"
Nikito huffed. "Zenaku is not known for apologizing," He said with a roll of his eyes. "You are wasting your efforts, Seika. Are you sure you do not just admire the man?" He asked, which caused the two to gawk at him with wide eyes.
"NO!"
"Are you sure?" Nikito asked, delicately raising an eyebrow. "Right after he kissed you I seem to recall you gave up your feelings for Ukitake Taic-"
"AGH! You're still the same annoying bastard!" Seika snapped, glaring at the man.
A smug smile crossed Nikito's face.
Night fell over the Seireitei, and by then almost every person in the city having heard of the news about the prisoners. About the training. About how Central Forty-six had seemingly gone mad for making such a decision. About the Taichos going along with this. About how the prisoners had all been high seats of the Gotei thirteen. Most people were appalled by this development, some were okay with it, and some did not care for it. Guards were ordered to take night and day shifts to protect them from any that tried to attack. They were ones that did care for this.
Since they were quite familiar with the group when they had been arrested.
"Ichirou, can you please just take the food?" One asked, sending the man a flat stare as he held the four trays while his comrade held five.
Said man rolled his eyes. "Nah, I think I wanna see ya struggle, Hideo." He gave a wide grin.
"Yer still an asshole, Ichirou! Now grab these!" The other snapped, glaring at the man around the trays.
Ichirou smirked and grabbed both piles with both his hands. The two guards rolled their eyes and slid the door shut to the large room, where the group was supposed to sleep. It wasn't long before the twins grabbed a tray and ran to their futons with grins on their faces. Shiko and Rina smirked at him as they grabbed theirs. Nojima bowed his head before he grabbed a tray and walked towards his futon. Tetsuya grabbed one and gave a bright smile, causing Ichirou to smirk in amusement. Nikito grabbed one and gave him a nod, receiving one in return.
Only Zenaku did not grab his.
Turning, he saw why.
"Please, please, please, please, please, please!"
Zenaku growled lowly and narrowed his eyes, the redhead kneeling in front of him with her fingers intertwined and her forehead practically touching the floor. Riko and Kayo were sitting on Ichirou's futon, sending their friend stunned stares. They glanced at one another before looking back, seeing Kaori look up with pleading eyes. The look she received was very irritated, if the snarl on his face had anything to say about it.
"I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it," Zenaku said, narrowing his eyes as a stiff smirk crossed his face. "I... ain't... gonna teach you!" He growled, making the redhead furrow her eyebrows.
"But-"
Zenaku snarled, causing the redhead to squeak and scramble towards her friends. He huffed, crossing his arms. Ichirou sat beside him, since his futon was currently occupied, and offered the tray to his comrade. Zenaku grabbed it and grunted, receiving a nod in return. Everyone ate in silence, leaving the three visitors glancing at one another and frowning slightly. So, were they just going to be quiet or what?
"So~?" Kayo squeaked and jumped in surprise, turning to see one of the twins grinning down at her. "How long have you known our little Riko?" Renzo asked, tilting his head slightly with a smile.
"U-Uh... I..." Kayo started fiddling with her hands, looking at her lap with wide eyes.
Oh, god! He was talking to her! She gained a curious stare from the twin, making him raise his eyebrows before he grinned.
"Have you known her a long time?" Renzo asked, receiving a nod. "Are you guys best friends?" Another nod. "Are you guys close?" Another. "Are you adorable?"
Kayo was about to nod before her eyes grew wide, blushing profusely before she hunched up her shoulders, feeling her face growing hot with embarrassment. Renzo started snickering, reaching up and rubbing her head. Her breath hitched, widening her eyes slightly when she felt his hand atop her head. He continued to rub her head, which started making her relax. No one patted her head besides Riko, Kaori, and often the twins. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the sensation.
Renzo's grin seemed to grow, staring down at the small blonde with soft eyes. She almost reminded him of Riko when she was smaller. Setting down his food... he grabbed Kayo by her hips, which made her squeak, and put her in his lap. Reaching up he continued to rub her head.
"I sure as hell hope ya aren't trying anything," Ichirou said, glaring at the blonde man. "If ya are I suggest ya put her back before I punch you unconscious."
Renzo grinned widely and kept her in his lap, which made the tall man huff and roll his eyes. Kayo was blushing profusely. She's never been in a man's lap before! Covering her face with her hands she bit her lip in embarrassment. Reizo raised an eyebrow before a grin crossed his face, as well. Setting down his tray he crawled over towards them over the futons, sitting in front of the blonde. He grabbed her wrists, making her gasp in surprise, and smiled down at her.
Kayo stared up at him in surprise before she averted her gaze.
Kaori and Riko gawked, both their eyes wide.
"Ah, she's so adorable~!" Reizo squealed, hopping in place before he grabbed locks of her hair.
Kayo gasped in surprise, watching as he started braiding her hair. He sent his brother a glare, which made him stop rubbing her hair before he joined in on braiding her hair. She stayed still while they were braiding, blinking in surprise. Kaori started snickering, turning her head and jumping when she saw Zenaku staring at her. Or rather, her arm. Looking down she saw why. She was still wearing the cast. It's not like she wanted it on, she just didn't know how to get it off.
"Get over here," Zenaku grunted, making the redhead blink in surprise. "Ya either come ta me or I'll go to you."
Kaori started scrambling, crawling across the floor before she sat in front of him. He motioned for her arm, which she did, watching as he took it off with a flat look on his face. To say she was surprised was an understatement. Despite his looks he knew healing kido. He sure as hell wasn't like all the people at the fourth division. Once the cast finally came off she let out a relieved sigh, rubbing her arm. She cringed when she saw the bruise on her arm.
"Eeehhh." Kaori made a face, staring at the big, black bruise.
She let out a surprise yell when he grabbed her arm. Giving the restraint on his wrist a glare his eyes started glowing white, a green glow hovering over her arm. Kaori watched in awe as the bruise slowly, but surely, started going away. Once he was done he removed his hands and grabbed his tray, about to eat when the woman hugged him. His eyes grew wide, everyone sending the two surprised stares.
"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you~!" Kaori gave a wide girn.
Riko was gasping for breath, her eyes wide as she struggled to breathe. Oh, god! When was the last time she laughed so much?
Zenaku was looking very uncomfortable, trying to pry the woman off. When she refused to budge he started to growl in warning. Shiko reached over the tapped the woman's shoulder, seeing her giving him a curious stare. He kindly told her to release the man, otherwise something bad would happen. Kaori did just that, moving back and grinning up at the man. Zenaku frowned when he saw her stare.
"...What do ya want?" Zenaku asked, giving the woman a glare.
"Can you please teach me-"
"NO!" Zenaku barked.
"But-"
"I said no!"
"But-"
"Yer really startin' ta piss me off, woman!"
"But I can't do anything else!" Kaori wailed, furrowing her brows as her lips trembled slightly. She received a stunned stare from the man, deciding to explain. "I can't do Zanjutsu, my Hakuda is a little okay but it's worth nothing, and the only thing I know how to do is kido!" She lowered her head, trying to make herself look as pathetic as possible. "I can't even cook...!"
Zenaku blinked, quirking a brow. Kaori was starting to get worried with an irritated look crossed his face before he slowly started growling. The twins across from him started snickering, receiving a confused stare from the redhead before she looked back. He rubbed his face and shook his head with a huff.
"Fine!" Zenaku growled, which made the redhead start beaming. "Can ya heal?"
"...No." Kaori answered, averting her gaze to the floor in embarrassment.
Zenaku started growling under his breath, which made the woman hold her hands up before she started crawling back from him to cool off. She knew kido, yes, but sadly she didn't know healing kido. Ichirou turned his head to send the man a flat stare, watching as he continued to seethe with one pissed off look.
"Calm down." Ichirou grunted, reaching over to pat the man's back.
"I'll calm down when I have a friggin' drink!" Zenaku snarled, crossing his arms stubbornly with a scowl.
Rina smiled to herself. As soon as the words left his mouth there was someone talking angrily outside the room, all frowning and turning their heads towards it. Someone was stomping down the hallway, growling to someone before it stopped in front of the door to the room. The pounding on the door made everyone jump. Without meaning to Kayo grabbed Reizo's wrist for comfort, her eyes slightly wide. He looked down at her hand curiously, tilting his head before he turned to see Ichirou sliding the door open.
Once Kenpachi saw who answered he narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Ichirou stared at him flatly.
"What d'ya want?" Ichirou grunted, giving the man an unimpressed stare.
Kenpachi shoved the crate towards him, watching as the taller man(though only by an inch or two) looked down at stared at it. Quirking a brow Ichirou grabbed it and stared down at it suspiciously. Nojima was beside him, opening the crate and peering inside. Everyone stared at him curiously, waiting for him to tell them what it was. The serious man blinked once.
"Sake." Nojima answered the unasked question.
"What~?" Renzo squealed, standing up with a grin, his arms holding the woman close to him like she was a doll.
Kayo continued to blush.
Byakuya and Hitsugaya then walked into the room, both holding one crate, as well. They turned their heads, raising their heads when they saw Kaori and Kayo. All three women stared at them with wide eyes before, at the same time, they narrowed them dangerously and started to glare. Rina sighed and lightly shook her head before she smiled, watching as both Ichirou and Zenaku, the two intimidating of their group, sent the three suspicious glares.
"Oh, my~!" Rina clapped her hands together and gave a bright smile, gaining everyone's attention. "This is very nice of you, Taichos. At least there are some nice people in the Seireitei." She said with a smile, gaining irritated glares from the three Taichos. "Thank you very much. Ichirou, Zenaku, can you bring the crates in?"
Ichirou blinked. "But-"
"Now, now, Ichirou, you don't want to be rude to the Taichos, do you?" Rina asked, sending the man a coy smile. "Just take the crates and thank them." She received a snarl from the man. Reaching up she placed her hand on his cheek, which made him widen his eyes slightly. "I'll make it up to you later." She whispered.
Ichirou's face turned red before he turned and walked away with a flat look on his face, with the crate in his hands. Zenaku rolled his eyes with a huff before he motioned Hitsugaya to put the crate on the one he was carrying, turning and walking further into the room. Rina stared after them before she smiled at the Taichos, receiving glares in return.
"What?" Shiko asked loudly, walking over to them with a grin. "You want to talk to Rina and I? Okay, but let's do that outside." He said, gesturing them to move out of the room with a smirk.
Yeah, like that was original.
Rolling his eyes, Kenpachi turned and walked out of the room with the other two following. Riko, Kaori, and Kayo frowned in confusion and glanced at one another. But once Riko and Kaori's gazes settled on Kayo they gave wide grins when they saw the two braids in her hair. Oh, man, she looked adorable. The twins already cracked one of the crates open, reaching inside and grabbing a bottle each. Nojima had to frown when one was shoved in front of him, staring down at it with a flat look on his face.
"Drink up, Nojima!" Renzo yelled, giving a wide grin.
Nojima sighed.
Nikito stared at the crates before narrowing his eyes slightly, turning to stare at the door. Hmm... He lightly shook his head when he realized Rina and Shiko were trying to do something for the Taichos. That or they either blackmailed them. Whatever it was he did not really care. About to continue eating he frowned when Ichirou dropped a bottle into his lap. Oh, no.
Outside, Shiko was grinning at the four.
"Is this your deal?" Shiko asked, smirking at the woman and the three men. "Getting sake?" He chuckled lightly. "Well, I would have accepted money, but if this cools down Zenaku and Ichirou, I'll do anything." He said with a smirk.
"Whatever. When're ya gonna get the woman talkin' to me?" Kenpachi asked, glaring down at the smirking blonde.
"Nothing happens overnight, Taicho, now relax," Rina said, holding up her hand towards the man. She smiled when his snarled. "Or, I can just turn this around and make her absolutely hate you." She warned, smirking when he calmed down and sent her a glare. "Good, now... why did they... bury you?" She asked, furrowing her brows slightly.
Bury...? Oh, she meant dumped! The Taichos raised their eyebrows with realization.
"We transferred them from our divisions. As the Soutaicho ordered." Hitsugaya said, crossing his arms as he frowned slightly.
"Such a serious young man," Shiko said, smirking at the prodigy. "They also said they demoted poor Riko and her friends." He said, receiving a small gasp from the woman. "But, to me it seems they are overreacting. Do they seem that way to you, Rina?"
"Of course they are! Unless..." Rina's eyes grew slightly wide. "...Unless this is the first time they've fell in love and don't know how to react." She murmured, looking up in thought.
"L-Love?" Hitsugaya asked, widening his eyes slightly as he blushed. "Are you saying Kayo loves me?"
"...Which one is Kayo again?" Shiko murmured, looking upwards in thought as he frowned slightly. "My god, my memory has gotten worse over the last two years." He sighed lightly. "Probably because I thought I was going to stay locked up." He said as he sent the three a tight smile.
"Ya should be glad, Shiko!"
"Go back to work, Hideo. That's what they pay you for." Shiko drawled, sending the man a flat stare.
"Kayo is the small woman." Rina said, giving a bright smile. "She's incredibly cute."
"The small... Oh, I see," Shiko said, a smile spreading across his face. "Yes, she is incredibly cute. Ah, too bad she's taken."
Hitsugaya stiffened. "What?" He asked tightly, sending the man a cold glare.
"Don't worry yourself..." Shiko furrowed his brows. "...Hirako Taicho?" He asked. He waved his hand a moment later. "Never mind, I'm sure I won't bother to remember it. But as I said, don't worry about it. Kayo is cute, but she seems to be a little too shy." He paused and smiled. "Which is adorable." He said, glancing at his comrade with a smirk.
"Calm yourself, Shiko," Rina said, sending the man a firm stare. "But, all you need is for me to speak with them. They will speak to you. But you," She pointed at the Taichos with a frown. "have to try and fix it yourselves."
"Yes, after all, you can't expect us to fix it ourselves." Shiko said, smiling at the three.
He backed up and held his hands up with a smile when the three glowered at him. Rina frowned when he grabbed her and situated her in front of him. Kenpachi scoffed and rolled his eyes, turning and walking down the hallway. Hitsugaya made sure that Rina would get Kayo to talk to him one last time before he also left with Byakuya. Shiko let out a sigh and smiled when they left. He would live. They both turned towards the door and slid it open. What they saw made them blink with wide eyes.
Ichirou and Zenaku snickered, both poking Nojima.
"C'mon, that can't be all ya can drink!" Zenaku said, laughing when the serious man tried to bat his hand away.
"No more...!" Nojima moaned, trying to bat away the poking hands.
Well, they could tell Nojima was a light-weight.
"Your family's overwhelming." Kaori said, huffing as they walked down the street.
"Don't think I would prefer them any different," Riko said, looking down with a smile on her face. "What did you guys think of them?" She asked, glancing at her friends curiously.
"They're okay," Kaori said with a shrug. "As I said, overwhelming, but they're a little funny."
"T-They're okay," Kayo said, trying to unravel the braids. "A little too much, but okay." She let out a frustrated huff. "How did they tie my hair?" She murmured in a very confused tone.
Kaori snickered and walked over to her, grabbing the braid she was trying to undo. It took some time but she was able to undo it and started undoing the braids. Riko grinned, seeing Kayo whine when she saw that her hair was curly now. She still couldn't get it out of her head that Nojima passed out after one sip. The others were still going, but they got out of there before they got too rowdy.
"Still can't believe you got Riko's family to agree," Kayo said, trying to get her hair flat again. It was only making her hair fuzzy. "Darn it." She murmured, cringing before she licked a couple fingers and smoothed down the strands that started sticking up.
"I know!" Kaori said, giving a wide grin. "Though I wonder what that guy meant when he said he couldn't teach a rock how to stay...?"
"I dunno, he taught Zanjutsu to me just fine," Riko replied, shrugging lightly. "Maybe he can't teach kido that well?"
"Well, I'll find out," Kaori said with a grin. "Like-"
"Shh!" Kayo held a finger to her lips, causing the other two to go silent.
Now wha...? Oh... There! They frowned slightly, furrowing their brows and listening closely. It was getting closer, the sounds. It sounded like... someone talking. Several, actually. The trio raised their heads, listening closely. They couldn't tell where they were coming from, and why they were concentrating on these voices they didn't know, but... they sounded familiar.
"I can find my own fuckin' way back!"
"I highly doubt that. You got lost several times before."
"I don't need any damn escorting!"
"Clearly, you do."
"I swear, I'm gonna bitch slap you when you least expect it!"
"I doubt that you could."
"Is that a challenge?!"
"Ye-"
"Stop it! Why do you two always fight?!"
The three women froze and widened their eyes when they saw the owners of the voices walk around the corner. Damn it! Why did fate have to toy with them?! They stayed very still when they saw their former Taichos, Taichos that they were very much pissed with, walk through the area before they finally spotted them. Byakuya widened his eyes slightly and faced the redhead, making her freeze up. The other two froze up, as well, when their former Taichos faced them.
"What do we do?" Riko asked from the side of her mouth, her eyes abnormally large.
"Turn around and run." Kaori answered from the side of her mouth, as well, her eyes also wide.
Together, they turned and started running with wide eyes, letting out screeches when the Taicho of the sixth division appeared in front of them, blocking their way. Damn him for being so fast! He could've at least gave them a ten second head start! Kaori jumped on spot before trying to run around the man, letting out a frustrated growl when he appeared in front of her. Damn, damn, dammit! Turning around, Kayo gave a surprised gasp, seeing Hitsugaya making his way towards her. Riko turned and started growling lowly, narrowing her eyes dangerously when she saw Kenpachi heading over towards her.
"I thought broken up couples avoid each other?" Kaori murmured, turning her head to see her two friends shrug.
"Woman!" Kenpachi snapped, gesturing for the dark haired woman.
"Hell no!" Riko yelled, instantly wincing and grabbing her shoulder. "Ooooh, man. Gotta stop yelling." She murmured, scowling.
"Kayo." Hitsugaya sighed, giving the woman a pained stare.
The blonde furrowed her brows at his expression before she pursed her lips and drew her eyebrows together, sending the Taicho a glare. Her friends were sending glares, as well, anger radiating off the three in waves. Rolling his eyes, Kenpachi grabbed the woman by her arm and dragged her away from her friends, ignoring the orders to let go. Finally letting go, when they were a little distance away, he crossed his arms and glared down at her.
"Ow..." Riko rubbed her arm with a frown. "What?" She asked, turning to glare up at the Taicho.
"I just wanna know one thing."
"Oh, jee... Here, I thought it was going to be something like... asking for my hand in marriage, or how much money I make a month," Riko said sarcastically, eyeing the man flatly. "...It's way less than you make a month, I'm sure." She said almost conversationally.
Kenpachi rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Shuddap," He glared at the woman, making her tense when she saw his stare. He pointed at the woman. "You look me in the eye and tell me this is over." He said as he gestured between them.
Riko made a face. What? What kind of question was that? What would it even prove? Frowning, she sent him a baffled stare, doing as he said and looking right in his visible eye as she opened her mouth to tell them it was over. Except... the words wouldn't come out. What the hell?! It wasn't hard to do! Just say it! It's over! Come on, mouth! Say it! Her anger steadily started rising when a smug look crossed the man's face the longer she stayed quiet. Scoffing, she closed her eyes and crossed her arms, turning her head away.
"I don't hafta look you in the eye and say it." Riko said, letting out a small huff.
Kenpachi gave a wide grin, turning his head to see that Kuchiki and Hitsugaya were also telling the other two to say it.
"I don't have to tell you shit!" Kaori screeched, turning to face away from the noble, her eyes narrowed dangerously as her mouth seeming to be in a permanent scowl around the man.
Kayo huffed and looked away. "This proves nothing."
Kaori started grinding her teeth together, seeing Kuchiki Taicho smile with so much relief in his eyes. What the hell was he smiling for?! That damn smile was pissing her off! Snarling, she turned to stomp away and head to her new division, away from the noble, when her wrist was caught. She let out a squawk, turning to glare at Byakuya while she opened her mouth to yell at him and see what the hell he was doing when his lips covered hers.
Everyone in the area froze, staring at the two.
Byakuya wrapped an arm around her waist and cupped her cheek, closing his eyes and deepening the kiss. Kaori's eyes grew wide, her entire face turning red. When he was done he moved back, the redhead gawking at him with impossibly wide eyes. He then gave her a devilishly handsome smile, which caused her face to turn the same colour as her hair.
"Oi, I thought you said no letting 'em kiss us!" Riko yelled, staring at the two with a quirked brow.
Kaori immediately pushed him away and back up quickly, breathing quickly as she continued to stare at him in shock. Snorts sounded out loud before Riko and Kayo started laughing, both pointing at the redhead. She shot them glares, shaking in anger at the fact that even sweet little Kayo was laughing at her. Turning, she stomped away, her eyes wide with anger and a snarl etched across her face.
Seeing that she was leaving Kayo went after her, not without sending Hitsugaya another glare, quickly jogging after her friend. Riko held her hands up towards the Taicho, sending him a wary glare before she went after her friends.
"Let's get the hell out of here before they start kissing us for the hell of it!" Riko yelled, running past her friends.
The other two followed suit, running away from the three Taichos.
Silence.
"...Ya got a lot of balls, Kuchiki-hime."
"Be quiet, fool."
Byakuya soon turned to head to his division when Kenpachi started laughing at his action. He would not help the idiot find his division. Hitsugaya continued to stare after him in shock, eyes wide and lips parted.
Huh... Who knew he was so bold? He expected it from Zaraki... but from Kuchiki?
Kurotsuchi and Unohana must be hugging.
Way to be subtle, Byakuya. XD
