You ran around early morning during the beginning of the weekend. You were out on a jog around town before it became a crowded mess. Although you did see quite a lot of ghosts that weren't there before, but there was only one person you could blame. Ichigo, the weird man that kidnapped you three weeks before. Although the good part about seeing ghosts is that you saw your little sister again! You were saddened by the fact she wasn't at peace yet, but that least you could talk to her a while longer before she is at peace. You stopped running when you saw the carrot topped kidnapper of yours jogging around as well. He seemed to notice you staring and stopped to wave.

"Hello! It's nice to see you again!" He hollers from across the street.

You smile and wave back, "It's nice to see that you aren't kidnapping anymore girls!"

"H--WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" He angrily shouts back.

"Shut up! It's still early for all this shouting!" You deadpanned

You could hear him growling at you before he ran across the street to you, "I didn't kidnap you."

"You so did."

"Let's not have this conversation." He sighs, "by the way, I never got your name."

"Names Y/n L/n."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, nice to properly meet you." He replied back. "Wanna jog together?"

"Well... I guess, but try not--"

He glared at you, "Im not interested in kidnapping you."

"I wasn't gonna say that, but thanks for confirming." You rolled you eyes. "I was gonna say, try not tripping over your own feet."

"For your information I know how to run and jog." He stated with a smart alec tone.

"By how your form looks, ugh. You looked like you were in pain!"

He rolls his eyes, "Whatever. Let's just get going."

"Okaaaay, fine."

You silently meditated after two hours of sparing with some other squad six members. You were sitting alone in the sparing room, just thinking. You were so caught up in meditating you didn't hear a couple of others walk into the room.

"Psst... You aren't sleeping are you?" A somewhat feminine voice startled you.

"Eek!" You leaped up and subconsciously tried doing a roundhouse, only to be stopped. You blinked. "Ah! I'm sorry!"

It was Yumichika, squad eleven's fourth seat. "Well you should be! You almost hit my beautiful face!"

You gulped nervously. "Weeeell, I should get going..."

"Wait, why don't you train with us for a while?" Ikkaku, squad eleven's third seat, smirked. "I heard from the other members of squad six that you were hard to beat."

Renji stepped in, "But that was two hours ago, I'm pretty sure she needs rest."

"Rest before she spars with me? I think she got enough from that mediation!" Ikkaku argued back.

"I can spar. I've rested enough." You shrugged.

"See? I told ya so." Ikkaku ripped off his top and grabbed a bamboo sword as he got into his stance.

Yumichika went to join Renji in the corner, that was until Renji interrupted. "Actually, I think I want to spar with her first."

"What?! No way I called it first!" Ikkaku roared.

Renji glared at the bald headed man, "Well she is in my squad and I would like to see if she's strong enough to take me on."

"That has nothing to do with it!" Ikkaku whined.

Yumichika smirked, "Maybe Renji here has a crush on the girl."

"HEY, I DO NOT!" Renji's face flared with heat. "Now shut up and let me spar with her!"

Ikkaku groaned, "Fine!"

Yumichika then dragged Ikkaku outside, "We might as well leave you two love birds alone, huh?"

Both you and Renji blushed, "WE AREN'T DATING!"

After they both had left Renji got into his stance. You were in yours the entire time. It was quiet. Renji's eyes stared down at you, like he was expecting a lot from you. He made the first move. With a quick flash he rose his sword above his head and slashed right back down. You swiftly brung your sword up and blocked his with ease. Your e/c eyes widened as they looked for an opening. None. There were none. So you had to make an opening yourself. You ducked and moved out if the way, using your foot to smack the back of Renji's knee. He grunted with surprise as he falls onto his knee, but also managing not to fully fall over. You stood up and rose your sword above your head, but then immediately swung down to give Renji a smack in the shoulder. Not to your surprise, Renji manages to block your sword by using his hand! He yanked your sword out from your hands and tossed it aside. Then he leaped into the air and smacked you on your forehead.

"Ouchie!" You yelped.

Renji smirked, "You did well. We'll make good friends."

"Huh? Wait, for real?!" Your eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Yep! So now you can just call me Renji, no more formalities." Renji pats you gently on the head.

You smiled back. "Oh boy! Thanks Renji!"

"No problem, Y/n."

It was noon and you had nothing to do. All of the work you were assigned to were all handed over to Momo, squad five's lieutenant. Since its been about three days since you've been to Byakuya's cherry blossom tree near his office, you decided it was time to visit. Plus with all the stressful things that are happening, you needed a break, maybe a meditation session somewhere quiet. You flashed stepped in front of Byakuya's office. The door was wide open, obviously meaning he wasn't there. All the captains were in a captains meaning that started about fifteen minutes ago and should end in about fourth five minutes. You slid off your sandals before walking into the room. You didn't bother looking at any of Byakuya's stuff, you just went straight to the tree. Sliding open the door, you half expected Byakuya to be there gazing at the blossoms. You sat down in the grass. In front of the tree, just calmly breathing. Your e/c eyes stared up into the soft pink petals. Your hair was out of its usual messy bun, you had let it out for the day, which felt really weird. Closing your eyes, you meditated.

Byakuya's pov

The meeting was finally over. Head captain Yamamoto wanted to send someone to the world of the living for three months. I didn't bother to try and send one if my men out there. I quickly made my way back to my quarters to finish up some more paper work. I stopped. Looking down I realized I had stepped on something. It was a pair of sandals. Too small to be any of my men's and probably too big to be Rukia's. I took a step in and looked around. Nothing seems to be gone or out of the ordinary. The sliding door to the right was wide open, revealing the cherry blossom tree. I made my way over and took a look around. Before taking a step out my eyes made their way onto a feminine figure. My eyes narrowed.

"I'd rather you not stand there Captain, it is your garden." It was Y/n's voice.

I calmed, "So... You finally return."

She chuckles. "Yes, but I do apologize Captain. I planned on returning sooner."

"There is no need for apologizes."

"Why don't you join me? That is if you don't have any paperwork." She quickly adds the last part.

I stepped out and made my way next to her. Looking down I see her tap her hand down next to her, signaling for me to take a seat. As I sit down she turns to face me with a smile.

"You look tense." Her e/c shows worry, "would you like to talk about it?"

I sigh, "I'd rather not burden you with such information."

"Oh? That only makes me more interested." She shrugs with a grin.

"That's not going to make me tell you." I deadpanned.

She huffed. "Worth a shot, right? Hehe."

I stared at her with interest, "You don't seem to be nervous like last time."

"I've done my meditation for the day, so I'm calm." She raised her hand and did a peace sign.

"Calm and childish."

She paused. "Rude! I think I'm very mature."

I narrowed my eyes, "No person who does a peace sign is mature."

"Hey,hey,hey now! You're just very judgmental! I'll have you know I am a very mature person, to see that you just have to become my friend!" She crosses her arms over her chest and grins happily.

Sighing, I roll my eyes. "Are you implying I become your... Friend?"

"Yes!" She puffs her cheeks out, "and no having friends is not childish!"

"Hmm..." I thought about it for a moment. "I guess it wouldn't hurt."

She gasps, her e/c eyes widened. "So we're officially friends now?"

"I suppose so." I say shrugging.

"Great! Then I'll start calling you Bya-chii and you can call me N/n!" Her eyes sparkle.

I sigh. "Nicknames are very childish." She didn't say anything back, she just looked at me, her e/c orbs staring into mine. She was expecting something of me and I knew what it was. "N/n..."

She giggled. "Not anymore, Bya-chii!"

Rangiku had skipped out of doing paperwork for the fifth time this week and Toshiro wasn't too happy about it, but whenever he's about to confront Rangiku about it, Y/n shows up and says she'll do the work for her... Like she's slave!

"Please captain? I've finished all of my duties already--"

Toshiro interrupts her, "Why do you want to work so badly?"

She freezes, "Ack!"

His icy blue eyes widen, "Is Rangiku bribing you?!"

"Whaaaat? Noooooo..." She tries to seem convincing, but fails by how much she's nervously sweating, "yeah..."

"I KNEW IT!" Toshiro was about to storm out of his office and to the bar to give Rangiku a scolding.

"Wait a moment captain! Just this last time? Please?" Y/n begs again. "I need those strawberry and cream filled tarts..."

He pauses for a moment. "You were bribed with sweets?"

"Uh... Ah!" Y/n nervously waved her hands in front of her before sighing in defeat. "Yeah, she found out about my major sweet tooth..."

"So she took advantage of that, huh?" Toshiro nodded in understanding.

"Yeah..." She hung her head low. "I really don't mind doing her paperwork from time to time... But this is like the fourth time she bribed me with sweets."

Toshiro shook his head in disapproval. "So you were here all those times because she bribed you... Wait four?"

"Yeah, the first time I offered. Remember? It wasn't that long ago captain." Y/n blinked expectingly.

"Ah, right..." Toshiro walked back to his desk and sat down in his chair. "Hurry and finish up the paperwork."

Y/n's eyes sparkled, "Tarts... Yes sir!"

Y/n rushed over to Rangiku's desk and began working. The process was probably the same as usual. Toshiro finishes first and waits about twenty to forty minutes for Y/n to finish up before offering her some tea.

"Thank you." Y/n says with a smile.

Toshiro sighs, "You must be excited to get those tarts from Rangiku."

"You bet!" She hums. "Oh, once I get the tarts... Maybe I could come back and share them with you?"

His eyes widened. "Do you want to come back?"

Y/n giggles, "Of course! Even though we may not seem like it, but I think we're very good friend now, err... Even though we barely speak whenever I'm around."

"Friends? I see, then I accept your proposal of sharing those sweets with me."

Y/n squeals, "Wait have you ever had strawberry and creamed filled tarts?"

To shirt though for a moment before replying, "No... But from your actions for it, I'm going to assume they're quite delicious."

"Your assumption is correct!" She takes a sip of her tea, "say... Is it alright if I called you Toshiro?"

Toshiro almost choked on his tea by the sudden question, "I don't see why not... But please do call me that whenever we're alone."

"Alrighty then." Y/n giggles at the captains pink hued face. "I should get going, but I'll be back with those tarts Toshiro."

"Okay, I'll see you then."

Gin stared out the window and gazed into the sky. He had remember last weeks events when everyone thought he had gone missing, only to be found by his new third seat, Y/n L/n. Although they still haven't properly met, so he had called for her only a few minutes ago.

There was a knock on the door. "Captain Ichimaru? May I come in?"

Gin's smile never faltered. "Oh yes, yes you may!"

A h/c girl with h/l hair opened and closed the door behind her, "Nice to see you again captain!"

"Yes, it is quite a delight to see you again third seat L/n." Gin replied back with just as much enthusiasm as she did.

She walked up to him and grinned, "I suppose I owe you an official greeting and apology."

Gin rose his brow, "Apology?"

"Yeah, for ya know... Jumping out your window and basically disrespecting you and Captain Aizen." She shrugs.

"You don't seem at all worried about that though." Gin chuckles as her cheeks turn pink.

Y/n huffs and crosses her arms, "Fine then I won't apologize."

"I'm okay with that."

"Well... Anyways it's nice to meet you Captain Ichimaru, I'm Y/n L/n your third seat." She states formally.

Gin nods in approval, "Yes, yes... I think we'll be great friends, don't you think so N/n-chan?"

Y/n blushes, "Hey! I never said you could call me that!"

"But I'm your captain, I have rights." Gin shrugs with his usual foxy grin.

Y/n rolls her eyes and grind as well, "Then you won't mind me calling you Foxy-kun?"

Gin hesitates, he feels his face becoming hotter. "No, not at all N/n-chan."

"You sure about that Foxy-kun?" Y/n smirks at his pink hued face.

"Certainly." He replies back.

Y/n bursts out in a laugh, "Alright, alright! I think your face is just too much for me to handle now."

"What? Do you not like it?" Gin questions(with a grin.. He always has a grin err, smile).

Y/n shakes her head, "No I'm not saying I don't like it, it's just I've never seen a captain so flustered before."

"Well, I too am human too." Gin states.

"You're right." Y/n smiles. "Well Foxy-kun, I've got some stuff to finish up. Maybe I'll see you again later."

"Maybe." Gin shrugs.

"Tsk, just call if you need me. Kay?"

Gin nods. "Kay."

You took a deep breath in before lightly knocking on Captain Aizen's door. You had finally finished everything you needed to finish once you had woken up about three weeks ago from your coma. There was a deep voice that replied to your knock.

"Yes?"

"A-h, it's me... Captain Aizen, I was wondering if you'd like to have a cup of tea with me?" You nervously stammered.

The door slid open, revealing the captain. "Of course. Why don't you come in and relax?"

"I-I could make the tea..." You muttered softly as you entered his quarters.

He shook his head, "I've heard about the things you've been doing, in detail, and I want you to get some rest."

You nodded in reply, "I guess..."

As you sat down on the ground, you watched closely as Aizen was preparing the tea. He seemed to have noticed your dazed state at what he was doing that he let out a small and somewhat twisted chuckle. He turned around with two identical tea cups. Aizen reached out and handed one of the two to you, with a gentle smile.

As he sat down he began to talk, "You know... You seem a little more calmer than you were before your coma."

"Oh?" You replied, confused. "How did I act before I lost my memory?"

"For starters, you hung out at the bar from time to time." Aizen chuckled. "For some reason Lieutenant Matsumoto would bring you here after you passed out. You'd always wake up with a serious frown."

You flinched, "It would seem I was a nuisance before as well..."

"Oh not at all!" He gave you a wave. "You were very valuable during battle and doing extra paperwork."

"I see... Anything else?" You tilted your head.

"Well, there are a few more... But I guess I'll just tell you one more thing." He took a sip of his tea, leaving you with a curious fast beating heart. "Overly confident."

"Huh?"

He chuckles, "Yes. You were very overly confident in your skills, so you did everything you could to prove that you were strong and a good squad member... Very loyal indeed."

You shrugged, "That feels just about right."

"Because it is right."

"I don't know..." You scoffed playfully. "You could be lying, lots of captains lie."

Aizen shook his head, "But why would you think I would lie to you? You are one of my subordinates."

"That's just the thing!" You grinned childishly. "Since I'm your subordinate no one would think twice about me finishing out orders from you. Therefore, if you somehow... I dunno, mind control me into doing something, most people wouldn't think twice about it!"

Aizen watched as you drank the last bit of your tea. "You were always so interesting. Very childish, as well."

You blushed embarrassedly, "I-I am not childish! I-it could've been an idea you had! O-or... Err..."

He chuckled at your flustered expression, "You really have an interesting way of thinking about possible traitorous ideas, none that I would ever do, of course."

"Errm!" You fell backwards.

You covered your eyes as you heard Aizen shift from his spot across from you. You hadn't realized that you were actually falling asleep! The way your hands covered your eyes was very soothing, along with the aroma in the room.

"You seem quite tired there." You heard Aizen's voice.

You shrugged, but nodded. "I guess I worked a bit too hard today, heh..."

"You can stay the night if you wish. I'll wake you once I leave in the morning." He picks you up and sets you in his futon, lifting the blanket below your chin.

You yawned, eyes slowly closing. "Where... Are you--"

He blinked at you. Your eyes had fully shut and your breathing calmed. "She fell asleep."
