(I realized during the "Sereiti Double" episode, Byakuya and everyone had their original hair style. Just go with it from the last chapter where everyone changed their hair plz.)

I walked around the halls, carrying stacks of papers in my hands. I had gone to almost every Squad, taking and delivering papers. I hummed softly to myself." Hana." I turned around and saw Captain Ukitake and Kyōraku. I smiled at them." Captain Ukitake. Captain Kyōraku. How's your day been?" They smiled." We just had some tea. We were going to play some cards. We thought you'd like to join us." Captain Kyōraku said. I sighed." I wish I could. I have to deliver these papers." I said. They frowned." Maybe we can help you." Captain Ukitake suggested. I smiled." I don't want to trouble you.." I said. Captain Kyōraku smiles." Nonsense." He took a few papers and Captain Ukitake took the other few, leaving me with barely any. We went through the last squad districts and delivered the last few papers." Hana." I turned around and saw my Captain walking towards me." Hey Captain." I smiled at him. It dropped when I saw his distress." What's wrong Captain?" I asked." Is something wrong, Byakuya?" Captain Kyōraku asked. Captain just closed his eyes." Just that...You two were in my office just a few minutes ago. And I walked out and saw you with Hana." I blinked." Captain, I'm confused." I said. I heard running behind my Captain. I looked behind him and saw.." Captain Ukitake? Captain Kyōraku?" I asked." Get away from them!" Captain Ukitake said. I gasped when I felt a blade at my neck. I froze." Well, it looks like we've been caught, huh Jushiro?" The fake Captain Kyōraku said. I began to panic. My heart was racing." Let her go!" Renji said, appearing behind them." I have a better idea. How about you let us go and she doesn't get hurt?" Fake Captain Kyōraku said. I felt the blade press further against my neck. I whimpered softly." Renji. Stand down." Captain Kuchiki said." B-but Captain-!" Renji said." Unless you want her dead, stand down." Captain Kuchiki said. Renji growled and stood down. I stumbled back as the Fake Captain Ukitake stepped back, forcing me to step back." Well it's been fun." Fake Captain Kyōraku said, tipping his hat." But we have some business to do." He said before flash stepping away." C-Captain!" I said before the Fake Captain Ukitake flash stepped us away. I was pushed to the ground. I looked up and saw my grandfather in front of me." Grand-père!" I said. He hummed, opening his eyes, making me step back. His eyes glowed a blue color." W-what do you want?! Why are you here?!" I yelled at them." We have to prove to the originals that we are better then them." Captain Ukitake's double said." But Why?! What's the point?!" I asked." Well, we all have something to protect. We want to prove to the originals they're not strong enough to protect what they care for." Captain Kyōraku's double said." And what exactly is it that you have to protect?" I asked. The two captains looked at each other." We can't tell you that." Ukitake's double said. Suddenly, I felt myself being picked up. Really high up. I looked behind me and saw Captain Komamura's Bankai. I felt the giant put me down on a rooftop. I stood and watched Captain Komamura fight the doubles." Hana!" I turned around and saw Renji and Captain Kuchiki. I ran toward them." Renji! Captain!" I said. Renji patted my head." You okay? No wounds?" He asked. I touched my neck. It was bleeding slightly. Not a lot but a slight amount." Besides my neck, I'm fine." I said. Renji sighed and smiled." That's Good." He said." Let's get you to Squad Four." Captain said. I nodded and we went to Squad Four.

Captain Unohana wrapped bandages around my neck so it would stop bleeding. Captain Kuchiki and Renji left to attend others. I was stuck in Squad Four, begging Captain Unohana to let me help." Please, If Captain Kuchiki ordered you to keep me here, I'll deal with him later. I don't like sitting on the side lines, waiting and watching." I said. She frowned." I'm sorry but I can't let you go and get hurt." I sighed." Fine." She got up and walked out the room." Ha-Chan!" I turned around and saw Yachiru in a tunnel in the wall." Y-Yachiru?" I asked." I wanted to help you! Let's go get Kenny!" I smiled and followed her. I was finally free!

I jumped from rooftop to rooftop. I had been trying to find Captain Kuchiki but I couldn't find him.' Captain. Please be okay.' I thought." Roar, Zabimaru!" I gasped and jumped back just in time before Renji's double almost hit me. I fell back and slid onto my back. I groaned as I got up. I quickly ran away, slowly losing him. I sighed as I hid against the wall. I slowly caught my breath. I need to find my Captain! I began to run again.

"Thought you could escape me!" Renji's double yelled as he used his Zanpakuto, cutting my shoulder. I whimpered, holding my bleeding shoulder. I bit back a scream. I got my Zanpakuto out. I guess there's no way but to fight." Sting, Kurage!" I yelled, letting my Shikai out. Lighting formed around Renji's double, slowly closing in on him. He yelled as he got hit by my lighting. He was sent flying back. I need to leave now. I began to run, flinching at the pain in my shoulder. I felt weak. Not only because of the blood loss but because of me using almost all my power. I panted for air as I ran. I heard crumbling behind me. I stopped and looked back. Renji's double must've used his Zanpakuto to make the building fall. I didn't have enough time to react. I closed my eyes and put my arms up to my face. My eyes opened when I felt someone pick me up and save me. I was set down. I looked up." Captain?" I asked. He looked at me. His eyes flowed blue. That's not my Captain. It's his double. I stepped back. He turned away and began to walk away." W-wait! Why did you save me?" I asked. He stopped and turned to me." We all have something to protect." I blinked." What do you mean?" I asked. He suddenly appeared in front of me, close to my face. I gasped as he grabbed my chin and titled it up. I began to blush as my heart continued racing." The original seems to be very fond of you." He says, leaning down close to my lips. I froze, not knowing what to do." You are his pride." He says before disappearing. I fell back onto my bottom. I couldn't believe what he said. I didn't believe it but then again.... he's Captain Kuchiki's double. He has he same thoughts, skills, looks. Is he....right? Or is he lying to weaken me during this battle? I whimpered, holding my head. I felt so dizzy and tired. I stood up, only to wobble." Hana!" I looked behind me and saw Rangiku and Captain Hitsugaya. I smiled weakly." Hey...." I said before fainting." Hana..!" I heard Rangiku's voice faintly yell.

Byakuya's p.o.v.
'Who made these doubles? And what are their intentions?' I thought to myself as I fought my double. Everyone else was fighting their double. So far, this wasn't going anywhere. Fighting our doubles was pointless. The doubles had our skill, talents, everything. They couldn't be beaten, at least not by their originals. We clashed Zanpakuto's, glaring at each other." Give it up. I am the true head of the Kuchiki clan." He sounds like me too. I pushed him back, stepping back from him." Hey, Byakuya. Looks like you're having a little bit of trouble there. Need a hand?" Kenpachi asked." No thanks. Do not interfere. Although if you need help, feel free to ask." I said. He smirks and laughs." No way! I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to beat myself!" He says, clashing swords with his double. I went back to my fight.

A few minutes passed and nothing's changed with me and my double. Neither of us backed down. We both had too much pride to back down. We clashed Zanpakuto's again, glaring at each other." Why are you doing this?" I asked. He glared, his blue eyes glowing." We have something to protect. And we want to prove to you originals that you're too weak to protect the ones you love." He said. We pushed each other back." Just like earlier." He said." What do you mean?" I demanded." While you were too busy with your fighting, your precious Hana almost got crushed by a building." I glared at him." You dare touch her with your filthy hands, Reigai?" I asked before flash stepping in front of him, slashing his shoulder and chest. He jumped back." If it weren't for me, your original Hana would be dead by now." He said. We glared at each other, not saying a word. Until we ran at each other, swords clashing.

Hana's p.o.v.
I woke up in Squad Four. I looked around. The room was dark. The light from the halls slightly shined in through the bottom crack. I sighed and sat up. I got up and put my kimono top back on. Something doesn't feel right. Usually, someone in Squad Four would stay and watch the patients and yet no ones here." Sting, Kurage." I gasped and stepped back, dodging my own attack. I looked through the dark and saw a pair of glowing eyes. Blue eyes to be exact. I glared at my double." So I do have a double." I said. She huffed." I'm a bit disappointed that you're my original." I glared at her and grabbed my Zanpakuto." If I wasn't your original, you wouldn't have so much strength and pride." She smirks." I guess so. Let's continue this somewhere more open." I smirked back." Let's." And just like that, we left to fight.

We were on a rooftop, staring at each other as we held our Zanpakuto's. Well, my Zanpakuto." This ends here, Original." She says. I smirked, twirling my Zanpakuto in my hand." Really? Fun. I was going to say the same thing to you!" I yelled, slashing my Zanpakuto from the ground to the floor, sending a lighting wave at my double. She chuckled and blocked it." Impressive. Let's see how you do with this!" She says, sending me the same attack. I dodged it but she used a counter attack." Sting, Kurage!" She yelled. I smirked, dodging it, flash stepping behind her. She gasped as she looked over her shoulder." Hado #4: Byakurai!" I said, pressing my fingertips to her back. Lighting shot out my fingertips and through my double. She screamed as she got sent flying. I huffed as I began to pant. She whimpered as she tried to get up." Hado #4: Jūgeki Byakurai." She whimpered out. I screamed as red lighting hit me in the chest and pushed me away. We both were on our sides, trying to get up as we stared at each other. I panted, trying to get up, only falling back down because of the pain in my chest." Hana!" I heard Captain Kuchiki yell. I looked over and saw Captain Kuchiki's double holding my double." Hana." I saw my Captain suddenly appear in front of me. He held me close to his chest, while he glared at his double, who was glaring back probably. I held onto him, trying to calm my breathing down. My chin rested against his shoulder as I stared at the doubles. My double was doing the same thing. Captain Kuchiki's double took my double and flash stepped away. Captain Kuchiki turned to me." Are you Alright?" He asked. I nodded, panting a bit." Y-yeah. She used Jūgeki Byakurai on me." I muttered. I put a hand to my chest." I-it hurts." I muttered, my voice cracking a bit. He picked me up, letting my head rest against his shoulder." Rest. I won't let anything happen to you." I nodded, snuggling into his warmth." Yes Captain..." I muttered before falling asleep.

"...Ana....Ha...! Hana!" I woke up and saw Rangiku standing next to my bed with a smile." Rangiku...? What's wrong?" I asked. She smiled, hugging me, stuffing my face in her huge breasts." We did it! Our doubles are gone!" She said. She gasped and pulled way, smiling." Sorry." She said, watching me gasp for air. I put a hand on my chest." So...they're gone?" I asked. She nodded." Everyone's Alright. Though you have a lot of gifts and visitors." She said, smirking. I looked at the end of my bed and flinched. There were cards, gift baskets, even stuffed animals. I turned to Rangiku, my eyes glued on the pile of mess in front of me." Why, exactly, do I have these?" I asked." You were the most injured. Everyone thought it was brave of you to risk your life, even when you were injured. So almost everyone got you something. Captain Komamura got you a little stuffed Fox! I thought that was hilarious." She laughed. I smiled. I'm grateful for having such good friends and family. I sighed, sweat dropping slightly." I'm scared to ask what you got me." She smirked evilly, making me sweat drop more. Oh boy." I got you sake!" She said, pulling out five or more bottles in each hand." I don't drink Rangiku." I said. She frowned." You're no fun!" Rangiku whined." RANGIKU!" Rangiku's face lost its color, making my giggle." Let Hana rest! And you've had enough Sake for one day!" Captain Hitsugaya yelled." But I was keeping her company~!" She whined. Captain Hitsugaya sighed." Sorry Hana." I giggled." It's Alright. I'm use to it." He smiled before grabbing Rangiku's ear with a frown and a glare." Let's go." I laughed quietly as I heard Rangiku whines and Captain Hitsugaya yells and lectures. I turned back to the gifts everyone had given me. I gasped when I saw a familiar face next to my bed. Seaweed Ambassador. It was a plushie. He looked so cuddly. I picked him up, feeling the soft fabric. I smiled and blushed. I get my heart beat faster and faster at the thought of my Captain." Thank you Captain." I said, laying down with the Seaweed Ambassador in my arms, hugging it close to me with a smile.

Byakuya's p.o.v.
I walked down the halls, making my way to Squad Four. It's been a few hours since Hana was in Squad Four's barracks. Everyone seemed to respect her. She held her ground, fighting even though she was injured. I'm sure Head Captain Yamamoto is proud of Hana. I finally got to the barracks of Squad Four. Captain Unohana saw me and smiled." Captain Kuchiki. I assume you're here for Hana." I nodded." Go ahead and go in. She was awake a few moments ago." I nodded and walked inside. I looked around and saw the many gifts that was left for Hana. I looked at the bed and saw Hana's back turned toward me. I walked around and bed and smiled slightly. So she got my gift. She held it tightly close to her, snuggling her face into it. Her long hair spread out and slightly curled. She looked like an angel. I reached out and gently touched her cheek. Her light pink lips parted slightly and hummed. I stopped myself. What am I doing? She's my lieutenant now. I shouldn't be thinking like this." But you care for her. Don't you Master?" I heard Senbonzakura say. I knew he was right. But I couldn't let myself fall for another. Not after what happened to Hisana." But Master, you won't let anything happen to Hana." Senbonzakura says." I know. But I can't bear the thought of losing Hana to someone. Or worse, a sickness." I said. Hana mumbled in her sleep, hugging the plushie tighter." Let her rest. She's been through enough." I said, walking to the door. Once I was out and I quietly closed the door, I walked down the halls with Senbonzakura." What will you do Master? Are you going to pretend your feelings toward her don't matter?" He asked." Of course not. Until I find the courage to mark her as mine, I treat her like I have been." I said." Now, let's go get some tea." Senbonzakura nodded." Yes Master."

(Seaweed Ambassador plushie cause I find it so cute~! :3)
