Toshiro didn't hate waiting, he knew it was just part of the process. But that doesn't mean he was any less annoyed by it. Crammed in a line that ran the length of Squad 4 and then some.

Easing to the side, he poked his head out from the line-and the view of the persons ass in front of him-he looked to see that the line had thankfully gotten shorter.

Or it did when the person in front of him finally got called and walked ahead. But something that made him just as impatient was being on the cusp of being done with this. But it was not quite done yet. This attitude plainly on his face was enough to cause concern to the person in line behind.

"Captain?" Rangiku let out as Toshiro looked up, expecting to be greeted by her looking down at him, but instead he was only greeted by her chest calling right onto his face, covering it completely. Muttered cries came from beneath her before he reacted.

Picking his arms up, he pushed her chest up and off of him before shoving her away and shaking himself off.

"Gee Captain, you're awfully pushy today." Rangiku said as she returned to standing up straight but still standing over him, repositioning her breasts into her robe.

"I'm fine." he huffed as he returned his arms to being crossed.

"Oh, are you just nervous?" she asked, kneeling down next to him. He raised a eyebrow, before he turned his head over his shoulder.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, it's only a physical captain." she waved her hands and stood back up. "The only thing you gotta worry about is taking your pants off. " she stifled a chuckle "I mean, this'll be the first time you let a girl see that right?" he nudged him with her elbow, and he went visibly red.

"Shut up." he huffed again and hunkered down in his crossed state.

"I'm hoping I get Harunobu." Rangiku giggled "He's dreamy." she said before purring "I wouldn't even mind if his hands are cold."

Toshiro shuddered a bit at that. But before Rangiku could air her fantasies out any more or he could try to ignore them, he heard what he had been waiting for this entire time.

"Next." a meek voice called. Toshiro looked up and then stepped up to answer that call, for it was no doubt about him. But the person who called it must not have been seen because they took a step forward, and stepped right into him knocking him to the ground.

Thankfully, Rangiku was there to catch him, and his head landed softly, cushioned by her chest. Looking up, he saw, standing over both of them, Isane reading off of a clipboard.

"Oh!" she squeaked and then hid behind her clipboard "I didn't see you down there."

Toshiro grumbled at that and then pushed off of Rangiku to stand back up again. Straightening his sleeves out, he glared up at her.

"Are we ready then?" he grumbled.

"Wow," Rangiku said "Looks like you got Isane." she chuckled before rubbing her hands "Wonder who I'm gonna get?" she said greedily.

"Well, you're next." Isane said before looking down at the disgruntled Toshiro, who felt like she had looked over him twice now "Uh, sorry, right this way, Captain." as she opened an arm to lead him away. He took another step this time; he wasn't knocked down, bu,t was stopped none the less.

"Uh uh uh." a sweet voice chided. Suddenly between the three of them, a fourth figure appeared. Towering over Toshiro and standing with an almost suffocating presence to the other two women was a figure though unlike the other two in black, she wore white to match him. Though her coat was long and cast over her full figure, and positioned atop it was a sweet, smiling motherly face. One that was just as cold as it was sunny. "Isane." Captain Unohana turned over to her, and she seemed just as skittish as when she spoke to Toshiro, but she managed to keep eye contact this time. "You know the procedure." she said kindly, but seemed to be scolding at the same time "Only captains can inspect other captains."

"Oh," Isane said looking down at the clipboard, and began flipping "But Captain, this says here that he'll be with Hanataro in room-"

"Are you saying I'm wrong? Or are you disregarding a direct order?"

"Nononno" Isane said shakily, much more than she had with Toshiro's before.

"Good." Unohana said agreeably "Now why don't you," she raised one of her folded arms to wave to Rangiku "take this young lady and take care of her."

Flattered Rangiku skipped up to Isane and hooked her arm in hers "Oh, it looks like we'll have some girl time."

"But I have a job to do." Isane said to her captain "I have to make sure the line moves." she said holding up the clipboard in her other free arm.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll take Harunobu." Rangiku requested.

"He's busy." Unohana shut her down flatly "Just as you two should be." she said as she shook her hand, waving Isane off.

"Yes, captain." she bowed her head and walked off with the clipboard in one arm and Rangiku in the other. Toshiro watched the two of them go.

"I'm just saying if she can switch it just like that," he heard Rangiku's voice and a snap of fingers "Then why not switch you out with him?"

Suddenly, a hand was gracefully placed on his shoulder, and looking up, he saw Unohana's hand placed there and her sweet, smiling face above it.

"Now," she spoke, and her sunny disposition melted his icy one "Shall we then?" she opened her other arm, showing the way for him. He felt obliged not only because it was the entire reason he came here, but because she had such a motherly warmth to her. One that almost reminded Toshiro of his grandmother, and he felt he couldn't disappoint, let alone disobey her. Even if he didn't like the idea that she was leading him away, but then again, it was her division.

Silently, he obliged her and walked off to her office. Passing by several closed doors, the line was left behind. That was until they came to the end of the hall, where there was a larger door. Perhaps not too extravagant, but since it was farther than the others, was larger, and likely led to a larger room and that she brought him here only to stop, Toshiro concluded it was hers.

"Right in here." she said opening the door, and he once again silently obliged. It was here that she finally took her hand from his shoulder and separated from him.

"Take a seat right up here." she said as she broke off from him to sit at a desk. Her back was to him while he looked at the chair he was meant to sit in. It reached up to his chest, and he eyed it grumpily again. He cast a side eye to see, she had her attention on her desk. So he cast his eyes back to the seat he was meant to take. The problem was that it was so damn high.

Putting his arms on it, he jumped up and turned around mid-jump so that now he sat on it. His legs dangling off of it, his arms bracing himself as Unohana continued to sit with her back to him, concentrating on her desk.

His idle legs began to kick and sway as he sat there. He knew better than to talk out of turn outside of the barracks with her, but now that he was in here, he was on his best behavior, irritable as he was at first. The silence did not seem to alleviate that, however.

"So," she began, suddenly snapping him to attention "how's our growing boy?" she asked. Toshiro couldn't help but grumble, though he managed to keep it behind his clenched teeth. But that didn't mean it couldn't be heard "Hm." Unohana suddenly let out sharply "What was that?"

"I was just clearing my throat."

"Your mouth was closed." she said despite the fact that she wasn't looking at him. Quickly, Toshiro opened his mouth and let out an exaggerated, forced cough to make up for it. "Oh my!" Unohana let out in a sweet and calming voice, but no doubt sounded concerned as she turned around to face him "That sounded worse that just clearing your throat. Do you have a cough?"

"no." he said flatly and clearly.

"Let's make sure then." she said getting up, her arms folded before her as they often were, making him wonder if that's why Isane always did it. She then walked across the room to come to him. Bending over slightly, she stooped over him and looked him over.

Taking her hand, she put the back of it to his forehead.

"Hmm." she let out. "Not too warm." she admitted, taking her hand away. "A little cold."

"That's normal." he stated stiffly. She seemed to agree, because she brought up that fake cough again.

"Well, I don't suppose that cough is from all the smoking you picked up on." That suddenly made Toshiro freeze in place, but flare up all at once. An instinctive reaction for someone who said something so blatantly true yet had no way of knowing how. The silence from him was broken ny an observation from her "You got warmer." she commented.

"From a bold accusation." he said as he began to cool himself down,

"Better." she said, taking her hand from his head. She didn't say anything else, but he also didn't want to just take that lying down.

"I don't smoke." he refuted. It wasn't entirely true, however. He only did it on...certain occasions.

"Oh," Unohana let out. "Then where did I get the idea you did?" she asked. Her smile and closed eyes were still there, but there was a hint of some underlying uncomfortable nature to it. Like she was prodding for something she already knew.

"No idea." he simply refuted, simmering down a little, and was alleviated when she continued on with the procedure. Figuring if he ignored it, they'd move on and he wouldn't have to answer it.

She had already moved on and put her hand to cup his chin and squeeze his cheeks.

"Say AH" she commanded, and he opened it wider, letting her get a good look all around at his teeth. Her head rotated to look inside, up and down. Eventually she reached back to grab her chair to sit herself down. As she reclined, she took her hand from his face.

"You have good teeth. Good gums." she commented, and the smoking comment, though odd, seemed to be a fading memory "Terrible gag reflex. but I guess you don't need one." she said lightly and seemed to laugh. "Can you hold your breath long?"

That question truly seemed to surprise him. "What?" he asked cluelessly. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Lung capacity." she said before she brought up a hand to open his robe. and put a stethoscope up to press against his chest. It was so metallic and cold and he shivered from it. "Too cold?" she surmised. "I supposed you warmed up."

"I suppose." he agreed. She took the stethoscope away.

"Breathings fine." she stated. "It's nice to see all that drinking you do now hasn't given you a beer gut."

"A what?!" Toshiro exclaimed flaring up again. That was the second accusation, and once again, it was not truly inaccurate. But how did she know?

"Of course I'd expect it, since your lieutenant drinks so much, why not you?" she asked.

"I don't touch her stuff." he said through gritted teeth.

Peering over her clipboard, Unohana's stare seemed more deadly than ever, but, masked by even more sweetness "No. Of course, you don't." she paused. "You can buy your own."

He saw her check a few boxes and lines on the clipboard. But it soon returned to how it was when he first got into that room, and she closed the door. She was attending to something else, while he was merely waiting idly- something he wanted to move on from. In that idleness with her sitting before him, his eyes glanced down to his belt, and remembered what Rangiku had said.

"so-" Toshiro spoke up and then cleared his throat. "are you going to.." he trailed off nervously as she turned to him.

"Going to what?" she put the clipboard down and then folded her arms in front of her again. Her smile and disposition was so cheerful that he felt suddenly embarrassed by what he was going to ask.

"Going to.." he trailed off again and then restarted. "Rangiku said-"

"Is she a medical professional?" she cut him off.

"No." he admitted.

"Except in liver failure." Unohana said kindly, but spitefully. "And since yours is fine, you shouldn't listen to her. You're the captain after all. She follows you, not the other way around."

"Yeah." he nodded shakily. Her smile and grin remained constant.

"Now take off your pants." her voice cut through the silence of the room.

"What?!" he exclaimed.

"Don't yell in my office." she scolded him calmly.

"But you said not to listen to Rangiku."

"Well, you never said what she said to make you so worried. And what should you be so worried for, I wonder?" she said smiling but he felt very much like a fool who was about to be taken advantage of "Your pants." she said again, though there was some bite to it. One that made him know, regardless of what or how he felt, this was going to happen one way or another. So he put his hands on his belt, tucked his fingers beneath them. Jostling it in his grip, he looked up to see Unohana sitting as she had been this entire time. She was waiting in anticipation, as he was dreading it. Slowly, he began to pull his belt away and tug his pants down. The smallest shade of pink from his skin beneath his robes was shown when she suddenly spoke again.

"You never did answer me before." she said and he froze right before his pants could fall below his waist.

"What?" he let out confused, but somewhat thankful he got to stop.

"Have you been growing?" she repeated.

"I uh.." he trailed off to look down "Where exactly?" he asked uncomfortably.

Unohana chuckled now, putting a hand over her mouth. It made Toshiro even more uncomfortable about this. "Oh dear, do you think I meant down there? What a dirty mind you have. I'm so flattered." Toshiro blushed at that, but sighed internally as he began to pull his pants back up. "I didn't say pull them up." she snapped, but her voice was still sweet, and he obeyed the command.

"Then what do you want?" he asked frantically. She dropped her arm back to her lap now.

"I want to see how much you've grown. " she said before a pause. But this time she stated outright what she wanted "Show me your Bankai."

Toshiro shuddered at that "You've already seen my Bankai. And what does that have to do with.." he trailed off as he looked at his half dropped pants.

"No, no, no." she shook her head "I mean your full Bankai. The completed version." Toshiro was stunned into silence now. Now it all made sense. All her accusations weren't just bluffs.

She knew.

"How did you know?" he asked conceding it's reveal without saying those exact words. Unohana just laughed at him again.

"Oh, I've been at for this a long time. I can tell plenty of things."

Toshiro didn't necessarily feel flattered. "Now." she said sharply "If you want to leave, I have to see it."

At this point he wasn't sure exactly what it was she wanted to see, but he knew it didn't matter. He let out a deep breath and then released it. When he did it, his breath was visible. He hopped off his seat, and his legs hit the floor, and his pants followed. Only this time, he was towering over the seat that was once level with him.

Outside, Rangiku walked with Isane as she left her examination room.

"So you've gotta be honored." Rangiku said "You've gotten to see what a lot of guys dream of."

"It was strictly professional." Isane insisted.

"Oh, but you still enjoyed it." she said whipping her hair around, hitting Isane in her face with her strawberry, red hair. She coughed and spat the hair out of her mouth, scrambling to get it out of her face, mouth, and eyes.

As they came to the end, they saw Unohana leave her examination room, one arm propping the door open, and Toshiro follow, shrugging his captains' coat back over his shoulders. Captain Unohana's spare hand, odd as it may look, seemed to be licking her fingers clean.

The two lieutenants watched as their two captains came to the intersection with the captains, who were still preoccupied with each other.

"What's the matter, Captain?" Rangiku asked getting his attention as she kneeled down to be eye level with him. "You didn't get a lollipop."

"Hmph." Toshiro let out as he pulled his arm through his coat. Above him, Unohana chuckled.

"Oh, that's for little boys. And we have quite the man on our hands here." she said with a kind of motherly affection as she brought a hand to his head to ruffle his hair. He suppressed his grumble beneath it and reddened a bit on his cheeks. Rangiku chuckled with her, thinking it some kind of joke. "He's got a clean bill of health." she stated before looking down at him "You can leave now."

"Gladly." Toshiro said grumpily and walked out from under her hand to go down the hall. Rangiku skipped to walk with him before he stopped abruptly to look back at his fellow captain "So there's such a thing as doctor pat-"

He didn't finish that as Unohana put a finger to her lips. That was all Toshiro needed as he turned his back to Captain and Lieutenant of Squad 4 and walked off.

"Wow, captain," Rangiku hopped up behind him "I thought you'd be in a better mood."

"Shut up, Rangiku." he said as they left the Squad 4 barracks.

"Well, if you must know, Isane said my bust size got bigger. It took both her hands just to hold one."

"Maybe that's because they're starting to sag." he shot back slyly over his shoulder, but it only distressed Rangiku.

"Captaaaaiinn!" she whined.
