rukia: arigato.

hyuru: no. I hope you like it.

Rukia opens it and her eyes sparkles " kawaii!! "

Renji: I didn't know you sew.

hyuru: I don't. I bought it.

kyouraku : what a crowd.

renji: head commander...

kyouraku: ya... you don't have to be so polite. I just came to join the crowd too. It sure is bustling.

rukia: hai. 

Shinji walks in "After all, it is the first baby in seireitei in a long time."

hyuru: hirako taichou.

shinji: its ok to call me shinji now. Everyone is busy partying now anyway.

hyuru: alright, I have to get back to work.

shinji: are you crazy? Stay for a while. Always working.

hyuru: but you know I don't really like these kind of things.

rukia: do you want to carry the baby for a while?

hyuru: no. It's fine.

rukia: renji. Go get the baby.

" o...okay." he goes and takes the baby.

kyouraku: kawaii!! *takes over baby* red hair like renji huh?

shinji: deh? Has it ever crossed your mind?

hyuru: what?

shinji: baby of course *pushes head from back* baka.

hyuru: not... really...

kyouraku: where's hitsugaya anyway?

hyuru: ah. On patrol. The ju ban tai should be returning back soon. He will come later I think.

" I am already here." toshiro enters the small group.

hyuru: hitsugaya.

toshiro: ah. What were you guys talking about?

hyuru: baby. Do you want to hold it?

toshiro: sure. *takes over baby from kyouraku*

_________________________________________

hyuru: you don't have to accompany me you know. I can walk back home myself.

shinji: home? Ju ban tai or ni ban tai?

hyuru: I don't know... whatever I feel like.

shinji: still calling him hitsugaya? Are you guys even ok?

hyuru: of course we are ok!! I just call him hitsugaya in front of others. I know he doesn't like people calling his first name in public. Makes him feel not respected as a taichou.

shinji: there's the word anata.

hyuru: he doesn't like it I think.

shinji: are you being bullied?

hyuru: what are you talking about? No!! Toshiro is nice to me.

shinji: he looked really happy when he was carrying the baby.

hyuru: are you saying it's my problem?

shinji: did you reject him?

hyuru:.... no. I kinda... fell asleep... 

shinji: baka!! Sigh... I don't care you guys anymore.

hyuru: why? We're family isn't it? I even bought you chips when we were in the world of the living.

shinji: oh? Really?

hyuru: shinji!!
