Beware of Bird
Sometimes, Byakuya wonders how he ended up with the vice-captain he did.
"Deep breaths, Abarai. Keep breathing."
Under Byakuya's hands, Renji jerked and yanked away. "Shit, Captain, you trying to kill me!?"
"I am trying to help you, Renji," Byakuya said, pinning his vice-captain to the floor before he could escape far. "If you would prefer to present yourself to the Fourth Division instead, by all means, be my guest."
"Absolutely not! They'd never let me hear the end of this! It's embarrassing enough as is."
"And what, exactly, did you do again to cause this?" Byakuya asked, digging his elbow into the knot in Renji's shoulder and eliciting another string of curses.
"Captain," Renji groaned. "It's not funny."
"I never said that it was," Byakuya countered dryly. He paused, lifting his hands from Renji's back.
"Fine. Out training with Zabimaru by the cliffs. Same thing we always do; nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly, this weird--Hey! Watch it!--weird shadow shows up around the corner, and there's a godawful screeching. Sounds like a Hollow if I ever heard one. We jump out ready to attack. 'cept turns out it's not a Hollow. It's a kid bird that's gotten itself tangled up in a branch somehow. So the thing's flapping around yelling with this giant branch in tow, and Zabimaru and I figure what the hell, we're already there. Go to untangle the thing, almost get pecked in the process, and then next thing we know, we're falling off the edge of the cliff."
“Sit up,” Byakuya ordered.
Renji sat, wincing as Byakuya took his arm and rotated it from side to side.
“Do continue, Abarai.”
“Not much more to say. Turns out the mama bird was nearby, thought we were a threat, and kicked us right off the edge. Pretty sure I’m gonna have a damn bird footprint on my ribs. Wrenched a shoulder pretty good too breaking the f—damn it, Captain! You trying to take my shoulder off?”
Byakuya shrugged a shoulder infinitesimally. “Simply doing my due diligence to ensure that my Vice Captain has not caused himself any lasting harm as he has quite adamantly refused to see a proper healer despite repeated reminders that he is not currently a member of the Eleventh Division.”
“I am not explaining to Captain Unohana how I got my ass kicked by an overgrown chicken!” Renji snapped. “I’m fine.”
“Though I do frequently question your definition of fine, Abarai, I do concede that you do not appear to have sustained any serious injuries. You are excused from today’s weapons practice. Should you try to attend, I will have you removed, so don’t even try. Now go bathe yourself; you are tracking dust everywhere and you reek. You may use the baths here.”
“Understood, Captain Kuchiki,” Renji said as he shrugged back into his shihakusho.
“I expect you back in my office promptly in two hours’ time for paperwork and reports. Until then, consider yourself dismissed.”
