Juushiro nodded and accepted the stack from his fourth seat. "Thank you, Kairo." He set them in his arms and look back over the courtyard. "It's a beautiful day today," he murmured gently.
As Kairo continued to watch him, he chuckled and turned back to the group in the room. "Kiyone-chan, Sentaro, there are enough cookies to go around, and Rukia-san, you don't have to scold them so much. It is no bother to me."
He turned back to his fourth seat. "Kairo, will you do me a favor of finding Naomi-chan? I sent her off with some paperwork for third division, and she hasn't returned. I may be getting ahead of myself, but I would hate for her to miss the afternoon meal because she got lost again."
He chuckled again. "Before you do that, will you please help Shizuka-chan who just tripped by the fountain?"

"I'm sorry," Suzume called out, "I almost made it over there, but then I started thinking about a certain recipe.. only for a minute... and I tripped," she pouted. She stood up and pulled a couple pieces of paper out of the water, zapping them with Kido. "The chocolate topping would have gone well with the melon..." |

Kairo quickly took a page from her hands before it caught fire. “No need to worry, Suzume,” Kairo said with a large smile. He winked as she looked up at him. “By the way, did you know there’s a frog on your head?” he whispered.
“WHAT?!” Suzume shrieked, reaching up until Kairo started laughing.
“I’m joking,” he said, “just joking.”

Suzume shook her head. “Don’t scare the poor frogs like that,” she said.
“The –frogs?” Kairo repeated.
“Yes,” Suzume continued, “the frogs.” She pushed her fringe out of her eyes and looked at him seriously. “Didn’t you know that frogs are delicate?”

Kairo laughed and leaned back on his heels. “It’s not fair. I wasn’t trying to scare any frogs.”

His captain chuckled. “You’d be surprised at how many things Shizuka-chan remembers from her reading.”

Suzume dusted her skirt off and took the papers from Kairo before quickly stepping up to the friendly captain. “Captain Hirako said to give these to you,” she declared. “And,” she reached into her skirt and pulled out a worn cooking book. “This is the book I borrowed from you a few weeks ago.”
Juushiro smiled and took both the dirty pile of papers and the book. “Thank you, Shizuka-chan.”
Suzume looked down at the pile in the captain’s hands and squeaked. “I’m sorry! I can’t give you those like that. They’re covered in dirt and leaves. I must redo them.”

Juushiro held the pages above her head. “There is no need, Shizuka.”
“But-“
“If you hadn’t decided to be efficient and return my book at the same time, nothing would have happened to these.”
“That-“
Juushiro smiled widely. “I will be redoing what needs to be done, Shizuka. You have fulfilled your duty. Good work.”

“Are you sure?” she murmured, twirling a thread in her fingers from her black top. “It wouldn’t take long, and it was my f-“

“Shizuka,” Juushiro stated quietly, “I told you it is alright.” He set a hand on her forehead. “Take a cookie and return to your division. You did your job.”

Suzume’s eyes lit up at the mention of a cookie and scurried inside. Mindful of the piles of papers, she snatched a cat shaped cookie. “Thank you, Captain Ukitake.” She bowed. “I promise I will do better next time.”

Kairo chuckled and scratched his head as the fifth seat rushed past him. "Do you want me to handle those pages, Captain?" |

Juushiro shook his head, folding them in half, as he continued to smile at the enthusiasm shown. "They're aren't that many, Kairo, and it would be easier for me to do it. If any of them need Shinji-san's signature, I can manage to get it from him without him teasing Shizuka-chan."
His fourth seat raised an eyebrow.
He laughed lightly. "Probably," he amended.
He looked down at the pile in his hands and ran his hand over the wrinkles with a softer smile. "Such happiness is something to cherish not change." |

Kairo rubbed his head again. "Well, I better go find Naomi then," he said. He swiped a cookie from Sentaro's hand and grinned. "Too slow~" He stepped back into the courtyard and bowed. "I will be back soon."
His captain nodded before turning back towards his office. The lieutenant and he shared a look as the third seats continued to fight. Kairo shrugged with a hopeful smile and turned around.
Rukia attacked the third seats again.
Get back here, bubblehead, Kairo muttered to himself. We need the sunshine.

Naomi sneezed again as she ran down the hall to the courtyard where her captain was waiting for her report from the Third Division, Capitan Mutsu. Lifting a tissue from her pocket as she ran she dabbed at her nose.
"Whoever is talking about me needs to stop." She rounded the corner colliding with Fourth seat Namori. Naomi falling on top of him as he laid flat on his back under her. She smiled at him her cheeks rosy red from a blush that rose quickly in her cheeks.
"Hm... Uh... Hello... Kairo."
