Drinking Partners

i-am-the-kenpachi:

He frowned; having Yachiru carry him under normal circumstances was unpleasant. Having her carry him while on a sugar high would be downright torturous. Despite what some might speculate, he was no masochist, and he silently decided it would not come to that as he entered Matsumoto’s house.

Kenpachi took the glass with a grunt, tipping the edge to his lips. A noise that vaguely resembled content followed.

“Not bad; did ya nab some of Kyoraku’s secret stash?” he asked half-jokingly. The drink was good, and he finished the glass with a single gulp. As he reached for the bottle again, his curiosity got the best of him.

“The hell kinda drinking games did you play with Abarai? He’s a competitive son of a bitch,” he rumbled before the next drink.

Not that he was interested in them, of course. He was, however, poor at making conversation.

“OH the Human world has come up with many many games for people to play while drinking. They are.....very imaginative when it comes to having fun. There is this one game called flip cup where you take a little red plastic cup.....Which I for one don’t understand why they use plastic...it makes everything taste horrible but let me get back to what I was saying!” 

She paused for a moment, taking a drink and letting the warming liquid fill her before sitting back and relaxing. 

“They take this plastic cup and fill it with a small amount of alcohol. Two people stand on either side of a table and the first person to take the shot and flip the cup over wins! It sounds stupid but can actually be pretty fun especially when you get really drunk!” 

Another swig down, and Rangiku was already more relaxed than she had been the entire stress filled day. Kenpachi may not have been her first choice for drinking partners but at least he was keeping her company when others flaked. 

“Also, where do you think Captain Kyoraku gets his best stuff~ I have a way of....procuring only the best when I go to the world of the living~”

“Yeah, I guess we humans do know how to enjoy ourselves.” He returned her grin as he started to lead her down the street towards the mall. “I can see why you guys like hanging out here in the world of the living. Soul Society seems so boring sometimes. It’s like all you guys do there is paperwork and training.” Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad. It would be nice to get his mind off of things for a few hours. “My favorite food is Yuzu’s curry, but there is this place in the mall that makes a pretty good curry as well. We could stop there before we check out the shops if you want to.”

“Ahh yeah, and my poor Captain carries the world on his shoulders so its more stressful than it should be.” She shrugged, while she understood why Toshiro was uptight and serious most of the time it didn’t mean she enjoyed it. “Paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork....we get a reprieve sometimes when there is a hollow to deal with but even then that means lives are in danger so you can’t really enjoy your time away from your desk....ahhh we should all have more time off if you ask me” She grinned, thinking for a moment before nodding. “Curry sounds great! I hear your sisters food is quite amazing, according to Rukia! Besides, you’re going to need all your strength if you’re going to be shopping with me so food first sounds like a wonderful idea~”

Torn Scarf

[abnegate-antithesis-deactivated]

This woman certainly made it her objective to put on an air of teasing and high energy Uryuu wondered how she didn’t burn out that way. Though the quincy had never been especially skilled at understanding high energy people or how they were able to continue functioning.

Though, he was exceptionally grateful for her subject change and her choice f subject, something much more simple to speak about.

“Sewing? Well I was always…picky, when it came to style I had my own sense of things and how they should be I often complained to my grandfather about my training uniform when I was a child. Before she passed I asked my mother to teach me a bit about it and she had started but well…after we lost her it was all I had left of her, so…I just kept sewing. I did it to the point it became a habit for relaxing or clearing my head and other’s seem to enjoy my assistance with repairs and I don’t mind helping them.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“I’m sorry to hear about your mother. I’m sure it’s hard to lose a parent.” He frowned for a moment. Thinking about what it would be like. The only person closest to family was Gin and that nearly destroyed her....she could only imagine what it would be like to lose someone you were even closer to. 

“How noble of you. Helping others, and showing your skill to others around you. I know many a men that would never give that skill out for free. Money, power, favors.....There is always something in return asked, and yet you have yet to show me that you want anything in return...it really is nice to see someone willing to help when nothing is wanted in return. It seems that you and your friends have that in common.”

Sighing she looked up at the sky before a smile pulled at her lips once more. 

“That scarf is one of the only things I have left of someone who was very important of me so I understand your want to keep it in your life. You said you complained about your uniform and I’ve only heard through the grapevine.....did you actually make your own clothes?” She asked, a gleam of interest in her eye as she turned back to him.

Uryuu allowed himself a slight twitch at the sound of her laughter, which he could tell was very much AT him, not at all with him. After all he wasn’t laughing at all, though, her assurances about why he ought to relax was at least ever so slightly reassuring. However, it was not nearly enough and the teen tensed a bit when she looped their arms as the sudden contact was unexpected.

The quincy let out a long sigh when she finished talking and was quiet a moment before honoring her request to prevent silence and speaking again.

“I hardly find anything ‘cute’ about my discomfort and inability to articulate my thoughts with my tongue. Regardless of what you may think. That aside, I do agree the trip would be quite dull without conversation and I don’t intend to walk in uncomfortable silence with you.” the teen paused and considered what to say next before settling on a simple request.

“Though, I would much prefer we change the subject if it’s all the same to you.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“Well you may not think its cute, but I find it adorable!” She smiled, before nodding. “Alright, fine fine. We can change the subject. After all, like I said, you’re doing something nice for me so I will be nice to you...for now~” She teased lightly. 

Thinking for a moment she finally decided on a subject that should be innocent enough to talk about. She wanted something that, hopefully, wouldn’t embarrass him and something that would be interesting to him. 

“So, you’re like the sewing guru around here right? I mean I’ve overheard a lot of talk about how amazing you are when it comes to this stuff. You’re like the only person that comes to anyones mind when something is torn.....soooo my question is..how did you get into this stuff?” 

She asked, looking over to him with obvious interest in her eyes. “And how did you become so amazing at it?”

            Most would have let him stay in this silence. [ ɴᴏᴛ ʀᴀɴɢɪᴋᴜ ] Kensei had always been the type of man to let his mind absorb any situation – whether that be in was or just simply lounging around as they were currently. He preferred to stay silent. Have an out if needed. This constant way of pondering these surroundings left him in a state of remaining silent. This, or he just did not have anything to say. Could be any one of the two options. [ ɪᴛ ᴡᴀs ϙᴜɪᴇᴛ﹐ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜ ]

            ♞ ┊ ‘  Don’t suppose you know anything about cars?  ’ 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“I don’t, but I don’t mind listening if you want to talk about cars. Who knows, maybe I’ll find it interesting” 

She didn’t really care what they talked about, so long as something was said. Silence was never something she was comfortable with. Silence meant lonliness. It meant that there was nothing to be said and she would be left alone once again.....something that seemed to be the constant in her life. 

“What do you know about cars?”

Ladies Night

[desk-work-expert-archive]

Nanao scowled at her friend’s teasing, thinking what she did in the workplace had nothing to do with whether or not she had a bad side. Besides, if she wanted to ensure division business was taken care of, the constant lectures and scoldings she doled out to her lay about Captain were more than a little necessary. 

“I can assure you, any lectures my Captain Kyoraku receives are entirely justified, despite what he might tell you”

Turning her attention back to their intended target, she watched him for a moment or two longer; a germ of a plan beginning to form as she tapped Rangiku’s arm, indicating they should move. She smiled to herself, pleased she’d been able to come up with something so fitting so quickly. Perhaps her friend was right, maybe she did have a bad side after all. 

“Follow my lead”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“OH I have no doubt that he deserves every bit of sass you give him but that still doesn’t mean you don’t have a bad side” 

She couldn’t help but smirk while watching Nanao contemplate what the punishment would be for this rather disrespectful man. She, herself, had plenty of ways to torment him but she was entirely too interested to see just what her quiet friend would come up with. 

When prompted, Rangiku nodded and followed along. Wondering just what she had in store. 

“After you~” 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

Drinking Partners

[i-am-the-kenpachi]

“Yeah, sure,” Kenpachi grumbled, following the woman at an easy saunter. It had been a little while since he’d had a drink, anyways. He wasn’t going to complain, even if it did mean taking a fairly significant detour.

“Abarai, eh? He always held his sake pretty well,” he commented offhandedly. The young man, while he had been a part of the 11th, had been able to keep up with Ikkaku and Iba fairly well despite his smaller stature at the time. Matsumoto must be a heavyweight.

“Ya ain’t gotta worry about that; I don’t get drunk easily. ‘Sides, if ya needed help just call ‘Chiru. She’s pretty good at carryin’ me around when she has to.”

Not that he’d particularly enjoy being bounced around on the shoulders of the pink-haired demon, but the option still remained.

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“Yeah, don’t get me wrong. Abarai is a pretty strong contender when it comes to drinking, he just can’t keep up though” She giggled softly. The thought of the many, many challenges the two Lieutenants faced when it came to drinking was entertaining to say the least. Not many could keep up with her, let alone beat her at any game. 

“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. I think I even have some sweets for Lieutenant Kusajishi should I have to call her over”

Leading the way to her place, she unlocked the door and led him inside before heading to grab her stash of bottles. There were plenty to choose from, and after grabbing two glasses she would set them all out on the table. 

“There you are, Captain. Feel free to drink as much as you like. I have more stashed away!” She smiled warmly, making herself comfortable before grabbing a bottle and filling both glasses and handing one out to Kenpachi.

Birthday Celebrations

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“What? I cant help but tell the truth~” She grinned, moving to take one of his arms into her own. “Lets go! We’ll pick out all of the clothes!” She couldnt help but he excited. Not only was she going to get to shop with someone new, but she would be able to actually shop for him. Honestly, that was the absolute best way anyone could spend their day. Leading Ichigo outside, she kept their arms looped, at least for now while she contemplated where they would go. “So…I’ve been to a few malls around here…which is your favorite?”

[strawberryreaper]

He blushed slightly at her words. Yeah he knew he wasn’t a bad looking guy, but he wasn’t sure how to handle having a woman like Rangiku complement his looks. As she linked their arms and led him outside the clinic he couldn’t help but wonder exactly what he had gotten himself into. “All the clothes? I guess you’re really serious about this shopping thing.” She seemed excited so he was going to try and enjoy himself and not let his grumpy side ruin their day. “I don’t think I have a favorite mall, but there is one a few blocks away that my sisters and I go to a lot.” He gestured down the street. “Come on, I’ll show you.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

"Of course, I'm serious! Shopping is a serious thing!" She grinned, letting him lead the way out to the mall. Honestly, she couldn't wait to get started. The human world had so many new things she wanted to experience and what better way than to have Ichigo by her side? "Great! You humans really know how to live it up! I wish we had something like this back in the soul society! Tell me Ichigo, what's your favorite food? We should definitely get something to eat while we're out too!"

[taichou-13-blog]

It was impossible not to return the smile, to see someone that happy was infectious. Besides, he thought, trailing after her boxes in hand;  it was simply pleasant to see someone in such a good mood, the sale she’d been to must have been a particularly good one. 

Placing the boxes down on the desk, he turned to see if there was anything else he could help with only to see that she had the situation under control. At that, his focus turned back to the item’s he’d help bring in, a little curious as to how she’d managed to lug so many boxes all that way seemingly alone. It was no mean feat, when he’d happened across her, she’d barely been able to see she’d been carrying so much. 

“You’re welcome, you said all this came from the world of the living, how did you get it all back here without help?”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“A woman always has her ways, Captain Ukitake!” She gave him a wink as she set down her bags, rubbing the red marks they left on her arms after carrying them for so long. “Just because I didn’t have help doesnt mean that I would pass up on all of the incredible sales that were going on”

With that she made enough room for him to make himself comfortable while she rummaged through her desk to find a bottle of sake she kept hidden from her own Captain. Though, the thought crossed her the moment she grabbed the bottle. 

“I was going to offer you sake since almost everyone that I talk to prefer it but I actually didnt as for your preferences. Would you like a glass? Or can I make you some tea? Oh and.....I didn’t even ask was there a reason you made your way over to the Tenth? Did we have paperwork to fill out for you?!” She began to panic because she hadn’t remembered any.

Well so much for that, the tone in the woman’s voice betrayed her lack of insult at his comment despite her words. Her actions were also over acted, at best, however, none the less he couldn’t help but feel like he shouldn’t have spoken. Ishida didn’t know how to respond without ‘insulting’ the woman further or worse actually managing to damage her feelings.

He really, really should have just given her a location to pick it up at the next day.

But, just moments ago she’d look so forlorn about it.

“That wasn’t what i was insinuating at all, I was simply informing you of the nature of ritualistic exercise. There are those who assume that sporadically exercising will yield desired results, however, they would be wrong, a lack of repetition will gain very little.” he started speaking prattling on and realizing he was only making the hole deeper, and that as a soul reaper she likely knew all of this. For a moment the blue eyed teen floundered and struggled to recover looking for words any words to make it better.

“Not to insinuate your form is of inadequate, or unhealthy proportion it’s fine, healthy in fact, I just it’s-” he stopped himself dead and let out a long exasperated sigh.

“I’m….going to stop talking now.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

She couldn’t help but release a fit of giggles as he began trying to talk himself out of the hole he had dug only to dig himself even deeper than before. If she were any other woman she probably would’ve either been offended or blushing by the time he finished but instead she reached over to loop her arm in his as they walked before finally trying to calm him. 

“Its alright, its alright. I was only teasing you. I actually work out very regularly thanks to my occupation. And even if you were to say you didn’t like my figure, I like my figure so that’s all that matters when it comes to that so try to relax a little. I suppose I’ll stop teasing you for now, even if you look adorable while trying to dig out of your little hole. You’re doing me a favor so the least I can do is be nice” 

Smiling, she gave him a wink before letting go of his arm to give his personal space back to him. He seemed like the type to grow uncomfortable if she were to stick close to him, and she didn’t want to overstep her boundaries too much. 

“Don’t stop talking though! This trip would be boring if you did!” 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

[strawberryreaper]

“Will you stop saying things like that!” He knew from her grin that she was only teasing him, but it was still embarrassing. He was going to try and enjoy the day. Going shopping with a friend was something normal people did. It might be fun to do something normal for once. He gave her a small smile. “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try on a few things. You’re more fashionable that I am. Maybe you can pick some things out for me.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“What? I cant help but tell the truth~” She grinned, moving to take one of his arms into her own. “Lets go! We’ll pick out all of the clothes!” She couldnt help but he excited. Not only was she going to get to shop with someone new, but she would be able to actually shop for him. Honestly, that was the absolute best way anyone could spend their day. Leading Ichigo outside, she kept their arms looped, at least for now while she contemplated where they would go. “So...I’ve been to a few malls around here...which is your favorite?”

Ladies Night

[desk-work-expert-archive]

The Lieutenant shook her head at Rangiku’s suggestion, smirking just a little as she began to think up a fitting punishment for the man, a little curious as to what exactly Rangiku thought this supposed bad side of her’s consisted of. 

“What makes you think I have a bad side anyway?” 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

“Everyone has a bad side Nanao. Its just finding out what brings it out.....besides I’ve heard about the lectures you’ve given your Captain. I have no doubts you have a bad side~” 

She couldnt help but roll her eyes playfully as she nudged her with her elbow. 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

Uryuu blinked and mumbled incoherently on her blatant statement on her figure, though it wasn’t as though he could fault it either, she wasn’t wrong. Instead of commenting on it in any way, and making an idiot of himself he just started walking in the direction of the store after making a small motion for her to follow him. Truthfully, he could have fixed it with the thread he had now, but, based on how the fabric was damaged it was likely in combat a thicker thread would make the fix last longer.

The blue eyed teen found it best to not bore others with details though.

“Exercise yields the best results when repeated regularly though.” the quincy was pushed up his glasses to cover the fact, he had NO idea why he’d said that. Perhaps for something to say since it was only polite to keep conversation with her on the way to the store, right?

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

She followed after the other, trying to keep her giggling to herself. He obviously felt uncomfortable with her kind of talk but honestly how could she not tease him? He was absolutely adorable with the way he mumbled and tried to keep himself from saying something that could wind him up in more trouble than staying silent. 

“Oh whats that? So are you saying I need to exercise more? Are you trying to say that my body doesnt look extremely sexy and that I need to work on it?” She asked, trying to sound insulted but in all honesty she was just doing it to tease him. 

Pouting playfully, she folded her arms and puffed her cheeks out. 

“How rude~ And here I was trying to be nice~” 

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

Nowhere Else

[lying-prophet]

Kisuke offered the woman a smile while he went about pouring the tea and serving her a few of the treats. He lightly chuckled of the mention of the other two. Just how he was about to make a retort, he next works caught him off guard making him flush ever so slightly. “You’ll embarrass me with your flattery Rangiku.” He let the name slide off his tongue without the honorific as requested. Silver hues darted up to glance at the woman before him. “Thank you though, you are far too kind.”

He took a small sip of his tea before tilting his head to the side. “Is there anything you will be needing for your stay here? I do not wish for you to go without.” He offered a small smile to the busty woman. “We shall be happy to provide you with anything you need or pick up anything you do not have. I imagine it was quite a bit to take in for Orihime-San to simply take off without much warning.”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

She took the tea happily, and sipped at it as she thought about the answer to his question. Was there anything she needed? She didn’t think so though there was one thing about Orihime’s place that she didn’t think that she would have here. 

It wouldn’t hurt to ask, she supposed. 

“There’s nothing I would need but there is one thing I wonder if you have. Orihime has such a nice bathroom with a large bathtub. Do you have a nice one I would be able to use?” 

She asked, looking up as she brushed some hair behind her ear. 

“Or I suppose I could use a public bath but its just not the same relaxing time...”

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

Cooking With Kensei?

[ironassault]

           Slicing the green pepper wouldn’t be too difficult a task for the woman to complete. Peeking over from time to time, he saw Rangiku really concentrating on each cut. Her eyes dead set on making sure to achieve perfection. [ ᴀᴛ ʟᴇᴀsᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʜᴇ sᴀᴡ ] Could have been wrong, though. In any case, turns out that she made the julienne slices completely perfect. Exactly how he would have. Not too bad.

           Kensei quickly finished dicing the onions. Swift knife movements. Precise. They were then put aside in a small bowl along with her peppers. Now, because he already planned on making this earlier in the day, he moved back to the fridge. Another container came back with his hand. Inside – homemade pizza dough.

           ♞ ┊ ‘  Let’s see if you can roll this out for me?  ’   

           A small part of him would hope that she’s attempt some flip of the dough and get it caught on the ceiling. No, it wouldn’t be thrilling to clean that mess, but it’d be entertaining as hell.

           While she took care of that, he’d start working on the sauce. Tomatoes. Basil. Everything he needed to make the perfect combinations of flavor.

[taoreta-hai-tenshi]

She had to make sure the cut was perfect, he was being nice enough to cook lunch with her....something many of the other shinigami would die for...so she had to make sure he wouldn’t regret it. At the very least she could do was concentrate on what she was doing. 

Since he didn’t say anything rude about the peppers, she assumed it was good enough to continue and by the time she was finished she was being given yet another task. 

“O...Oh of course” 

She took the dough and began kneading and rolling it out before flipping it in he hands to stretch it out. Nothing too extravagant but she knew a little in the kitchen, at least.....or so she thought when it flipped out of her hands and fell onto the counter. 

“Shit....” She cursed under her breath, hoping Kensei was too caught up in his sauce to see her mistake.
