After her visit to Byakuya, he personally brought her back to the Head Captain's office after asking her to have breakfast in the manor.

"Byakuya Kuchiki, what brings you here?" Head Captain Yamamoto asked when he stepped inside his office

"Head Captain, I just dropped Yuki here after her visit at the Kuchiki Manor last night." Byakuya said and Yuki appeared behind him

"Child, did you sneak off last night?" Head Commander asked

"Sorry, Yama-jii. I just couldn't sleep." Yuki said then walked over to him

Byakuya raised an eyebrow at what Yuki called the Head Captain.

"You allow her to address you in such a way, Head Captain?" Byakuya asked

"I merely allow her to do what makes her happy and feel welcomed." Head Captain Yamamoto answered as he shared his tea with Yuki

A knock was heard at the doors and it opened as Rukia and Renji entered. They were surprised at the sight of Byakuya.

"Captain, what are you doing here?!" Renji asked surprised

"Nii-sama, are you here to visit Yuki-chan?" Rukia asked

"I am afraid it's the other way around. I brought her back here from her untimely visit at the manor last night." Byakuya answered with his monotone voice

Yuki quickly went to them and greeted.

"Good morning, Renji-kun, Master Rukia." She said with a smile

They greeted her back and ruffled her hair.

"Well it seems like we won't be going to squad 6 because you already met their captain and lieutenant." Rukia said

"Who's their Lieutenant?" Yuki asked

Renji smirked and pointed to himself. Yuki gave a small laugh and nodded. She looked at Byakuya and Head Captain then bowed.

"Yama-jii, Master Byakuya. We will take our leave now. Thank you for bringing me here, Master Byakuya." Yuki said

Byakuya just hummed as a reply and Head Captain just nodded then sent them away.

TIME SKIP

"Who is this little pipsqueak over here?" Iba asked as he squatted down on Yuki's level

Yuki was now very irritated because Iba kept calling her pipsqueak ever since they arrived. Renji sensed the upcoming rage and advised Iba to stop what he's doing but he didn't listen. He kept on calling her pipsqueak.

"Iba, I really think you should stop." Renji said while slowly backing away

"Huh, why? She's just a pipsqueak. What harm can she do?" Iba said and even placed his on her head

"THAT'S IT!" Yuki screamed and kicked Iba in the restricted area

Iba scrunched his face in pain but Yuki is far from done. Her nails began to extend and she started clawing and scratching Iba everywhere. Rukia, Renji and the other members of squad 7 who was present at that time, managed to separate Yuki from the now unconscious Iba.

Yuki began hissing and she managed to get out of Renji's grip and ran deep into the squad barracks. The two tried to catch her but they lost him. Instead of continuing, they just went with the squad members who brought Iba to the 4th squad.

Meanwhile, Yuki is currently walking on the corridors pouting and has her hands crossed on her chest.

"Stinking Tetsuzaimon Iba. Calling me pipsqueak. I'm not that small." Yuki mumbled to herself

"Excuse me, you mentioned my lieutenant's name. Has he done something wrong to you?" A large voice said behind her

Yuki looked back and saw someone with a large wooden cover on it's face. Seems like Captain Komakura heard her little tantrum. Yuki smelled a familiar scent on him and said.

"You're a werewolf." Yuki said bluntly

Komamura was taken back when she said that.

"How did you know?" He asked

"I can smell it. And by the way, nice to meet you Captain Komamura Sajin." Yuki said still pouting

Komamura heard so much about Yuki that he's not surprised she knew his name. He just sighed and smiled under his mask.

"Well, it was nice to meet you too, Yuki." He said and patted her head

"Back to my question, why did you mention my lieutenant's name?" Komamura said

"He kept on calling me pipsqueak so I kicked him in the balls and now he's in Captain Unohana's place." Yuki answered

"I apologize for him. Sometimes he just doesn't know when to shut up." Komamura said

"It's alright. But, I have a question for you?" Yuki asked

"What is it?"

"Why do you hide your face? Shouldn't you be proud of what you are?" Yuki asked while tilting her head

Komamura pondered a bit to look for answers but first invited Yuki to walk along side him in the garden.

"I conceal my face because I don't want anyone to judge me. I don't want them to fear me because of what I look like. All that matters is your skill so as long as they see you good at something, they won't mind what you look like." Komamura answered

"But doesn't that feel lonely?" Yuki asked again

"What do you mean?" Komamura asked back

"People look up to you because of what you can do and not because of who you are. Doesn't it feel lonely that they know you because you can do something that will benefit them and not because they're your friends?" Yuki said

Komamura was slightly surprised on her statement. Do people really think that about him? Do they really look up to just because he's a captain? He kept quiet for a while and Yuki noticed it. She took this chance to quickly remove his mask and look at his face.

"What are you doing?!" He suddenly yelled

Yuki stared at him and she giggled a bit.

"You should stop wearing the mask. It suits you better without it. And I don't believe people will fear you. Tenken told me to say that to you. Think about it?" Yuki said and handed him his mask back

"Yuki! Where are you!" Yuki heard Rukia calling her from afar

Yuki's ears perk up and looked around. When she found Rukia she ran towards her but stopped and looked back at the 7th squad's captain.

"I know normally that felines and canines are supposed to be enemies, but can we be friends?" Yuki asked

Komamura gave a hearty laugh and nodded a yes.

"Sure we can, Yuki. And as a token, I will ask Iba to stop picking on you." He added

Yuki smiled an huge smile and dashed off towards Rukia's voice. When Yuki was out of sight, Komamura thought of what she said.

"Hmm, maybe I should think about it. Give it a try? And how does she know my zanpakuto's name? Oh well." He mumbled to himself and smiled

After that, he decided to visit his lieutenant at squad 4 and tell him off.
