Startled when Yoruichi dropped onto his desk, Byakuya made an instinctive flinch for the sword that was in his office. He didn't have any idea what she was doing, until the hat landed on his head, and then came the singing.

Oh you hell-cat, he thought, carefully grinding his molars so that he didn't say it out loud. What was it about Yoruichi that made him want to revert to being an angry teenager again?

His expression didn't change one bit, though. No one - save maybe her - would realize that he wasn't nearly as calm as he appeared. Still, he hadn't realized it was his birthday. He hadn't celebrated in... since his wife had died. Time had stopped then for him, anyway.

Keeping his expression blank, Byakuya turned to look at where his students were beaming and Urahara was holding a cake. Carefully he walked over and blew out the candle.

After the students' applause died down, he inclined his head to both Urahara and Yoruichi. "Thank you for your generosity." Somehow, someway, he was going to get the pair of them back for this. "My students will stay to eat." In true college-kid fashion none of them wanted to leave until they'd gotten a piece.
