Just another day in the office[Closed]

Captain of the Ninth Division, Shuuhei Hisagi



Lieutenant of the Ninth Division, Kizomaru Hotaru



The desk in the squad nine office had become cluttered with paperwork, the once neat desk looked as though a tornado had swept through and made a complete mess of the stacks of papers which had been sitting pretty on the burgundy colored desk. The reason for the piling paperwork was an increase of new squad members fresh out of the Academy and though they could hold a sword and perform the basic fighting skills required, most of them didn't know how to do the paperwork that came with the job or simply didn't due the work because they were more about the action than the office aspect of their new career. Now the papers were in disarray due to the fact that the office had a problem, a bird had some how found its way into the captains office and couldn't get out. So naturally the captain tried to gently capture the bird so it could be released back out in the wild, though the task proved difficult for him to manage alone so he called for the back up of his lieutenant and a couple other members who stood outside the office door in case they were needed. It took two hours and four people before they were able to trap the bird, during which time there was a lot of moving about and bumping into the desk, hence causing the stacks of papers to crumble and create the mess there currently was.

When the mess was over Shuuhei all but plopped down in his chair, tired from an ordeal which made the day slightly more difficult than it already was, having been called to fix five paper jams and two errors with the printing machines. His slate gray/silvery eyes were drooped in a tired feature, his elbows on the desk and holding his head in his hands, giving a long, deep sigh. Feeling the beginning of a stress headache creep up on him, he had figured when he took this promotion that things would run smoother since there was a captain to properly lead the squad but he had been proven wrong by his own division. The lieutenant, and long time girlfriend to the captain, Kizomaru stood behind his chair and gave the poor overly stressed man a much needed shoulder rub.

"It's a mess..." Shuuhei sighed, his voice muffled by his hands. Referring to the state of the office after the mess with the bird just a few minutes ago, he looked up from his hands and leaned back in his chair, making Kizo adjust for his movements as she tried to help relieve his stress. He smiled at the gesture and closed his eyes to allow himself the moment of peace which came with her touch."It's only been a few hours into the work day and I'm already tired." He stated, hating how his new job was beating him so."You'd think I'd be used to this kind of thing since I was pretty much running things before my promotion but I now see the difference between where I was and where I am now."

"It's only been a week since your promotion, things will get better as you get used to your new position." Kizomaru told him reassuringly, knowing the troubles of adjusting to a new position of power from the experience of taking Shuuhei's old spot."Just give it time and you'll be alright." She added, switching to a deep tissue massage to help further her efforts of relaxing him. She smiled when he placed one of his hands on hers, feeling him relax under her grip and even hearing a little purr of approval from him made her chuckle."Feeling better?"

He nodded as part of his reply, feeling himself relax so much he felt as though he were going to fall asleep in his chair where he sat."Hell yeah.." Shuuhei answered with a chuckle, keeping himself focused on her massage rather than the work in front of him which he knew was still there in the back of his mind but he let himself ignore it for now. The stress from the last week had piled on and he needed to unwind before getting back into the mess of papers on his desk, swearing to himself that when he was more relaxed he'd dive in head first.

She chuckled back, leaning down to place a sweet and quick kiss on his cheek where his tattoo proudly sat. Her massage continued and would do so until he asked her to stop."Good, I hate seeing you so tense."Kizomaru replied, happy she was able to help him unwind and relax. When things fell silent it stayed that way, just enjoying the peaceful moment and letting it drag on for however long they felt like letting it. The outside world ceased to exist and time seemed to freeze, allowing them to remain in bliss for what would feel like forever..

Lieutenant of the Ninth Division, Kizomaru Hotaru



An hour had passed since the incident with the bird this morning and both the captain and lieutenant had returned to their work, Kizomaru returned to her office and Shuuhei began working on the stacks of paperwork which had flooded his office. Though the stacks were down by half, simply because Kizomaru insisted on taking half his load to help give him a break. He chuckled softly to himself as he did his work, seemingly breezing through it. Of course it was rather ease being that most of it was from the newbies and as such they had the easier work, so naturally a captain would move through such work with ease. As did his lieutenant who was working in the next room, he could hear her humming through the walls of the office and he smiled to himself. The sound would always help him push through the day.

Kizomaru sat calmly behind her desk, ink well pen in hand and speedily moving through the combination of her work and the half which she took from Shuuhei. Humming a sweet sounding tune, always hating the silence which often accompanied her whenever she'd work. So to help fill the dead air she would hum, the sound of the tune varied depending on her mood and since today she was feeling rather cheerful the tune which she emanated sounded cheerful as well. More often than not others would hear of her shadow based power and assume she would be of a darker personality, so when they got to know her they found her personality rather odd and in conflict with what they thought. It didn't really bother her though, she never really cared what anyone else thought as she was happy enough with herself as she is.

Looking up from his paperwork with a blink, he scanned the room and sighed when he saw there was still a huge mess from this morning. With a sigh, he put down his pen and looked to the man in front of his desk. "I forgot about cleaning the mess.." A mumbled sigh, cupping his face in his hands then rubbing his cheeks, normally he didn't like letting other people clean up his messes, but right now he was feeling too overwhelmed to clean the mess alone."Sure, if you could please." Shuuhei replied, standing up from his chair with the intention to help.

Shuuhei had been watching Mamio darting around the room as Tai spoke, even blinking at how fast he had been moving about the room and how quickly the papers were picked up and stacked; most gotten to before he could even bend over to lend a helping hand. Shaking his head to snap himself out of the daze of watching, he turned the Tai to reply to him as he was the first to speak."Uh...A bird got into my office, the mess was made trying to get him caught and back out." An awkward chuckle followed the end of his statement as he rubbed the back of his head.

Hearing about the drink, he contemplated the idea; granted it was only mid afternoon by now, and he had gotten the majority of his paperwork finished, but it didn't sound like a bad idea. However, would it really be a good idea to grab a drink in the middle of the day? Was that setting a good example for his squad? To just ditch his duties and get sloshed? Too much was going through the young captain's head at the moment, and sure most of those papers that were strewn about the room were completed papers, but he still had a sizeable stack to tackle himself. 'Maybe though, a quick break wouldn't be such a bad idea...But..My work..' He thought to himself as he let out an audible sigh before he spoke in reply to both men.

"I don't know guys...I've still got a decent stack left.." Shuuhei rubbed the back of his sore neck as he spoke, glancing over at the clock then back at the two who currently shared his office with him. Before he could speak once more, he heard a voice from outside his office door.

Lieutenant of the Ninth Division, Kizomaru Hotaru



"Just go Shuuhei, you need a break. And don't worry about those papers, I'll get those delinquents to do them the right way this time, even if I have to hover over them to make sure of it." Kizomaru told him, hands on her hips as she stood outside his door, having been there for some time and hearing the proposition; she figured he could go out and use the break to relax himself. She looked around at the room and smiled at both of the other men present."Hello." She greeted with a wave of her hand, a quick but friendly gesture.

Kizo & Shuuhei Hisagi



"Just go Shuuhei, you need a break."

Shuuhei looked over to his wife who had caught him by surprise with her sudden appearance, having been trying to decide whether or not he should go on out for a break; torn between finishing his work and his much needed escape from the office, even if it would've been brief. He sighed however as he knew she wasn't going to let up, she could be quite stubborn when it came to things such as this."Alright, I'll go take a break, but tea not sake." He replied, running his hand through his hair.

Looking to Mamio, who at this point had the mess cleaned up, he smiled his thanks to the young man."Thanks for that, tell you what, how about I treat you to lunch? As a thanks for the help." Shuuhei offered, he simply didn't feel right letting the good gesture go unrewarded."And I'll bring you back something? Sushi or shrimp ramen?" He looked back to Kizo, who was now leaning against the door.

"Sushi sounds good, thanks." Kizomaru replied with a smile, seeing Shuuhei nod in acknowledgement that he had heard her. With that she turned to the new voice and smiled in greeting, wondering what it was he wanted to speak to her about."Sure, what is it?" She asked curiously, tilting her head slightly to the side after she had spoke as her neck had become stiff in it's former position, the movement causing her medium length hair to sway gently against her neck.
