Notes: Christmas drabble for anewsymphony. Captains (Byakuya-centric) and fluffy animals. Does this suffice? ^^; Merry Christmas~~.
Byakuya fervently wished she'd waited until he was safely back in his division house, where there was only Renji to find the situation ridiculously amusing.
"Rukia...."
Her eyes flicked back up to him, looking for all the world like an unassuming child. It was just too bad for her that he knew better.
He struggled inwardly for a moment, searching for the most logical, calm response he could give her without causing a fuss. 'No' in its most definite form was unacceptable; Rukia was sure to capitalize on the opportunity to draw attention to him.
In the end, what came out of his mouth was, "Where do you expect me to keep it, precisely?"
"Keep what?"
Despite himself, Byakuya flinched a bit at the lengthy drawl. Gin was almost exactly the last person he wanted to see, and naturally, here he was. The tightly-strung smile and smiling eyes appeared over his shoulder - Byakuya hated being reminded that Gin was taller than he was - and a hand rested on the top of Byakuya's head.
Gin smiled broadly. "It's a bunny," he remarked unnecessarily. "How precious. Didja bring it home for your brother, Rukia-chan?"
The familiarity of it all was grinding on Byakuya's nerves. He stepped forward, smoothly ducking from beneath his fellow captain's grasp, and caught Rukia's arm gently, beginning to lead her away.
Unfortunately, the mysterious forces of Seireitei were quite clearly out to destroy Byakuya's dignity, as he found his escape hindered by the sudden and disarming presence of two other captains.
Shunsui scooped the rabbit out of Rukia's arms, beaming. "Aw, look at that. She brought you a gift from the living world. Isn't that sweet?"
"Leave it to Rukia," Jyuushirou chimed, patting the small shinigami on the head. "What are you going to name it, Byakuya?"
Sighing in resignation, Byakuya closed his eyes and resisted the urge to cover his face with his hands. Instead, slowly, he said, "I've no idea." No sooner had he finished the sentence than his eyes snapped back open at the warm weight suddenly placed on his arms, which he promptly almost dropped.
The rabbit stared up at him with saucer eyes, its tiny nose wriggling madly. At length, it rose up, balancing on his hind legs and placing a tentative front paw on Byakuya's chest as it sniffed the air.
"Aw, it's friendly!" Shunsui exclaimed.
The sixth-division captain quickly redeposited the rabbit in his sister's arms, brushing himself off delicately. "Rukia, let's go." He began walking away, careful to sidestep the other captains as he headed back to his division house.
Behind him, Rukia followed obediently, with only a single spare glance at Renji, filled with amusement. The redhead grinned and winked at her.
Byakuya was so much fun to torment.
