Summary :: Kon finds something he hadn't expected.
Yuzu repressed a giggle, barely, and tiptoed across the room, careful to hide behind the sofa as she moved along stealthily. Today was cleaning day, which meant she did have the right to go in her big brother's room. It also meant today was play day, though her playmate had no idea at all as to how much she looked forward to this, every single time.
Kon twitched and forced himself to remain unmoving the moment Yuzu had him in her sights - she couldn't know the truth after all, couldn't know that he was far more than just a stuffed lion. Though no, he sighed to himself mentally as she picked him up, more than any of the others here. He was stuck in the middle, half of something that could have been so much more, and instead inanimate and...not really alive.
"Uwaaah!" Yuzu squealed, pouncing on the toy gleefully, bringing him close and hugging him silly. "Postafu! I've been looking for you everywhere!" She cooed out the words, delight and joy vibrating in her voice. "I'm so happy!"
Despite everything, Kon found himself smiling, just a bit. Maybe this wasn't so bad, after all.

Summary :: Kira and Gin's first meeting.
The first time Kira ever had a glimpse of Gin had been during his academy days.
Everyone had been fussing over the visit of two of the Gotei 13 captains, running about like so many chickens with their heads cut off. Kira had smiled indulgently and grumbled in private, deciding that heading for the quiet and peace of the library to get ahead on a few of the more laborious homeworks he knew were coming up was the only course left for him to take, really.
He adore Momo and thought of Renji as a good friend, but he'd strangle the two of them if he had to put up with the overblown excitement anymore than he'd already done the last a captain had come over. Momo in particular had been near intolerable since.
But when in the middle of his studies he realize that someone was right behind him watchign, Kira whirled around, sending books and chair flying as he tripped over his own feet to the ground.
He looked up and his breath caught in his throat, leaving Kira dazed and lost, for a brief moment. The man bending over him smiled and offered him a long, graceful hand to help him up, and Kira suddenly decided that maybe there was a reason to Momo's captain obsession after all.
