Attack on the Cat! [ Somewhere in Juubantai ]

[Aly]

"Who's playing a joke?"

The chipper voice floated in before its owner: a voluptuous ginger-haired woman with a beauty mark beneath her lips. Rangiku had come here on a break from work and was practically nude when she'd heard the commotion. Poking her head out, the fukutaichou looked around, and upon catching sight of Akina, her face lit up.

"Aki-chan~! I didn't know you were here too! Oh . . . who's this~?"

The fact that she was au naturelle didn't even cross the woman's mind as she stepped out from her changing spot to stand by Akina and cock her hear curiously at the man trying to flee.

[Toboe]

"A joke? I don't believe so, though it is...... AH!" Shihei quickly turned around as Rangiku appeared. "Don't tell me you all travel in packs now..."

That is all he needed, another attractive woman naked in the same area as himself. "P..please excuse my.. ru.rudeness. Attractive women make me nervous... This situation isn't helping much either...."

The now shaking shinigami took in a deep breath and built up the courage to turn back towards the two, he hated being so rude. Not looking at all towards Rangiku, he replied to her question about who he was in one breath.

"IamHigashiyamaShiheithirteenthdivision." As if he already wasn't hard enough to understand. "Whomightyoutwobe?" Uttering out a small sigh, Shihei looked off to the side. "Who might you two be?" He repeated, but much slower and understandable.

Flustered and a little upset, Katsue still hid in the springs. She peered over the edge of the water, subconciously covering herself. He was still there. It seemed Akina-chan wasn't letting the poor boy go. To make matters obviously worse, Matsumoto-fukutaichou had cornered him too. It was a double breasted attack!

Cat looked around the area, perhaps there was a spare..... Ah! There was! Unnecessarily using shunpo Katsue dashed to the side of the room snatching a pile some sort of clothing. Quickly she adorned it.

"Ah...." Cat looked down in dismay. It was too short! She had spotted the spare juban... but it was too small. It barely reached the middle of her thighs and only barely came together at the top. "W-well, oh well. It'll have to do..." She looked teary eyed across the room. She had to go...

Somewhere between determined and mortified Cat shuffled to the scene. Once standing next to her best friend she somehow managed to tap her without losing her grip on her clothes- which she held on for dear life. "A-anou... can we continue this somewhere else? The women here.. are.. kind of upset.."

Not at all did the make eye contact with either of them. If the stranger was looking at her, she did not want to know about it. Not that she'd know why'd he want to. Her own breasts paled greatly in comparson to Akina and Rangiku-san's own.

[Aki Sora]

Glancing over her shoulder, Akina blinked once before looking out at the angry faces of the various women still covering themselves and glaring daggers of a horrible pointy-stabby death at Shihei... despite the fact that it was the mocha's fault he was even still around. Nonchalantly, she nudged the nervous mush-brained man out of the area so that the women could finally stop their bellyaching.

Once they were in an environment where she could speak freely without someone giving her and the group the evil eye, she turned to Shihei and obliged him with an answer to his earlier question.

"I can understand not knowing me since I'm only a seated officer," she began as she started to flail chibily. "But how could you not know Ran-- Matsumoto Rangiku-san! She's the Juubantai fukutaichou!"

Sighing softly after her mini-rant, Akina regained her composure. It was rapid and made one have to think twice on whether the flailing actually happened. Blinking once at the man, she introduced herself... finally.

"As for me, I'm Tsukamoto Akina. Eighth seat of Rokubantai. This is Isato Katsue, eighth seat of Juubantai, and she's my seat sister and best friend."

Akina further proved the last part of her statement by glomping the blonde and hugging her. The mocha woman was happy that Cat was her best friend and never hesitated to show it.

[Toboe]

"F.fukutaichou!?" Shihei's eyes widened in disbelief; he thought that he knew all of them. He had never made it down near Juubantai long enough to retain anyone's name, let alone the fukutaichou. "Please forgive me Matsumoto Fukutaichou!" The apologetic man gave her a bow, which was probably not needed.

"It..it's a pleasure to meet you, Tsukamoto-san, Isato-san. Too bad we couldn't have met under.... d.different circumstances." Shihei didn't know if the glomp was sporadic or what, but he didn't want to take a chance. He backed away once he saw it happen and didn't move back.

"I.I pr..probably should be going now. I was planning on..r.relaxing before working today, but I see that isn't... going to happen now." He gave them all a quick, jerky, bow and started to walk backwards towards the door, not daring to turn his back on Akina; he didn't want to be glomped.

Rangiku followed the little band out, full lips set in a pout as she matched the other women's pointy dagger glares with her own. Way to ruin her fun. She now had a towel thrown around her to just hide parts that would be rather inappropriate in public . . . not that she'd ever cared before. A faint, amused smile flickered over Rangiku's features as Shihei spluttered his apologies.

"Aww, come on, Aki-chan, don't be so hard on the guy~" she mock-scolded. "It's okay, Higashiyama. You aren't around Juubantai often, are you?"

She found the man's reaction to Akina's PDA to Katsue quite funny. So when he started backing away, her arm snagged him around the neck like a shepherd's hook and pulled him back. She didn't seem to notice that her actions resulted in his face becoming pressed (and possibly half-smothered) against one of her ample breasts . . . or if she did, she didn't particularly care.

"Not going to relax? That can't happen!" she protested. "Ne, Aki-chan, Kat-chan, let's go drinking with Higashiyama~ The more the merrier~!"

[Toboe]

"I..I am not g.going to r..relax with my face pressed... u..up against your b.b.breast!!" Shihei yelled out loud enough for anyone and everyone to hear. His face turned a distinct shade of red as he struggled to get away from the fukutaichou.

"P..Please, Matsumoto-san! I can't go d.drinking! Ukitake-taichou is expecting me back before long." It may or may not have been obvious, but the poor man was only trying to get out of the situation, Ukitake had no need for the fourth seat at the time.

(o.O Short post is short, sorry 'bout that.)

[Aki Sora]

Whilst the group lingered in the bathhouse, a lone black butterfly flitted lazily through the streets with a message contained in its wings. The jigoku-chou flew silently to its destination and that was to the side of Juubantai's fukutaichou and eighth seat. With it was a summons by the taichou himself regarding important business that he would be needing the two of them for.

The messenger insect sought out its recipient and perched itself on the strawberry blond's outstretched finger. Beating its wings, the message was relayed. Matsumoto Rangiku, you are to retrieve Isato Katsue and report to the senkaimon immediately. There is a mission to be carried out and you two are needed. Hitsugaya Toushiro, Juubantai-taichou.

[Aly]

"Oh, c'mon, Higashiyama~ Don't be a spoil sport~!" Rangiku whined, pouting. Though the man probably couldn't even see, with his face smushed in her breast like that. "I'm sure Ukitake-taichou wouldn't-"

Like a child with ADHD, the strawberry-blond cut herself off as she saw the jigoku-chou flutter in, making a lazy but definite beeline for her. With her free arm the fukutaichou lifted a finger for the butterfly to perch upon, and all fun and joking seemed to sweep itself out the door as she took in its message. With a faint nod, she regained a little bit of her laid-back self.

"Awwww, already~? We were just going to go out and have fun~" she pouted. Nonetheless, she released Shihei, and turned back to where she'd left her clothes, waving a hand in Kat's direction as she did so. "Kat-chan~ Taichou wants us at the senkaimon~"

[Bishiglomper]

Having given up long ago, Cat was huddled in the corner of the bathhouse feeling dismal. She had failed! Cat watched as the two well endowed women smothered the poor male, probably causing irreversible traumatic damage. She knew full well if something similar happened to her, she'd probably keel over.

'I knew I shouldn't have come... I should have kept to my work today!'

She sighed, feeling even more put out.

Cat looked back to the group huddled at the entrance; but something caught her eye. It only took her a split second to realize it was a jigoku chou, and it was headed for her fukutaichou. She watched it float over to the redhead who's manner had completely changed once she noticed it .'I wonder if something's up.'

Making sure the still-too-small robe was wrapped around her, Cat got up and inched her way to the group, trying to see if Matsumoto would reveal what was in the message.

"Hm?" Before she could reach them, Matsumoto was already complaining that play-time had been cut short, and was turning around to go collect her clothing.

'Ahh.. She must have been called back to work.' Cat sweatdropped, 'That's what happens when you skip out on work, sempai!'
Not that Cat had any room to talk. She was there after all, doing the same thing.

"...Eh!?" Cat nearly missed what Matsumoto said. She scrambled after her fukitaichou, who had already started getting dressed.

"Taichou wants me- er, us at the senkaimon? Now? Why would he need me? I'm just an 8'th seat..."

Her thoughts trailed off, and feeling very confused, Cat picked up her own clothes and started to dress, completely forgetting about everyone else. This was odd; It was one thing for one to be assigned duty outside of Soul Society, but with a fukutaichou? And so suddenly?

Well, no matter the reason, Cat supposed she'd get her answers when she showed up.

Cat almost forgot her head, almost heading out the door without saying goodbye to Akina! She rushed over to her best friend, and the boy who had been released moments before. She bowed low and spoke fast:

"Thank you very much for inviting me here, Akina-chan! I'm sorry, but we have to cut our day together short!" She then turned to the boy, without so much as lifting her gaze from the floor and blushing harshly, "I apologize for the trouble we gave you! Please don't think ill of Aki-chan and Matsumoto-san. They're really very nice!"

With one last thank you, Katsue ran out of the bathhouse.
