Looking For An Angel

"Feel better Kensei?" Ichigo asked with his usual scowl.

Sometime he wondered if the boy ever smiled, not that he could say much. It would be the kettle calling the pot black.

"Yeah", he replied with a friendly growl. He had working with Shuuhei for a few months and so far hadn't got anywhere.

The kid was still buried deep within himself. He wanted to see behind that damn mask he always wore, the mask of unwavering calmness.

It didn't help that his new lieutenant was sex on a stick and his hollow wouldn't shut up about claiming the boy as theirs.

He had needed to blow off some steam and Ichigo had been visiting. It hadn't taken him long to convince the boy to spar with him.

"Just kiss your Lieutenant and get on with it", Shinji said with a sigh as walked over to Kensei.

Kensei glared at Shinji as Ichigo fought back a laugh. Shinji was a blunt person, always had been. "You better shut the fuck up", Kensei growled. When and if he kissed the kid was his business not Shinji's.

Unfortunately Shinji was not the kind of man who gave up easily.

"Oh come on, you think everyone is blind and can't see you staring at Shuuhei's ass every time you are behind him", Shinji said.

Kensei took a calming breath before giving Shinji a death glare. It was taking all his self-control to keep himself from beating the shit out of the blonde man.

"Shinji he's getting pissed and I am not going to save you when he comes after you", Ichigo said with a smile.

Shinji looked at Ichigo, faking a hurt look. "You're my lover you're supposed to protect me", he playfully whined which caused Ichigo to laugh and Kensei to roll his eyes.

"It's called tough love" Ichigo replied with a smile.

Without saying a word Kensei left the fifth division. He did not want to listen to them being all lovey dovey.

One of his eyebrows raised as he heard cussing and lots of it coming from his office.

Kensei walked into his office and was amused. Shuuhei was on the floor picking up papers. It looked like a tornado had it the room. That wasn't what had amused him though. Kazeshini was trapped against the wall by Shuuhei's favorite kidou. Kensei could not hide the grin that had come upon his face.

"Mashiro why are you not helping the kid?", He asked as his grin faded.

He noticed that there was a tiny stack of paperwork on her desk.

"I have my own paperwork. Maybe you didn't know that because you're such a dummy", Mashiro whined from behind her desk.

Kensei growled in warning and Shuuhei got ready to stop his captain from murdering his other lieutenant.

"Kensei's stupid, stupid, stupid", she sang in a singsong voice.

Kensei got an insane look on his face before he began to storm Mashiro's way. Shuuhei shunpoed in front of Kensei and put his hand to Kensei chest. "Kensei-taicho please calm down", he said calmly.

Kensei preferred to be called by his first name instead of his last. Most of the visards were the same way. After being gone for a hundred years they weren't used to being so formal.

He calmed down as soon as Shuuhei touched him. The kid always had that effect on him.

Shuuhei looked at Mashiro who was still throwing a fit. "Mashiro please behave", he said firmly. "If you do not I will tell Rangiku not to let you drink with her for a week" Mashiro instantly calmed downed. She loved drinking with Rangiku and she knew Shuuhei would carry out his threat. Shuuhei sighed before picking his stack of papers off the floor.

"Do know that you act like my wife and her mother", Kensei mused out loud.

Shuuhei set his papers on his desk before turning around to look at Kensei before shrugging. "Someone has to", he said with one of his rare smiles.

That smile shot right to Kensei's groin. Yup he was going to have to confront Shuuhei about his feelings soon.

Shuuhei made his way back to his desk. To be honest he had never realized that he acted like a wife and mother but it didn't shock him.

"DAMMIT LET ME GO YOU BASTARD." Shuuhei suddenly realized that Kazeshini was still trapped against the wall. He shook his head before letting the kidou disappear. Kazeshini fell to the floor like rag doll. Mashiro giggled and Kazeshini glared at her.

"I hate you", Kazeshini growled as he looked towards Shuuhei.

"I know" Shuuhei replied and Kensei frowned.

"Tch", Kazeshini replied. "I am going to go find Haineko", he said before disappearing. Shuuhei wasn't too worried since he was confident Haineko would keep Kazeshini busy . He was well aware of their relationship.

He looked over at Kensei and shook his head. Kensei and Mashiro were in another argument, which was normal.

Shuuhei pulled out his ipod and place the earbuds into his ears. He had received the Ipod from Urahara. He turned the player on and listened to Hollowman by Trapt.
