[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,460,true] The crowing sun's soft light washed over the Squad 8 barracks, and by extension, the cherry blossom courtyard outside. The light covered the trees and the courtyard, giving it a lovely glow. In the center of this courtyard, there was a man sleeping underneath the larger of the trees. This man was the Squad 8 captain, Tenka Kumou.
He laid sprawled out on a cloud-printed blanket, a bottle of sake resting right next to him. The bottle was as dry as a desert. The cup laying upside down next to it was exactly the same. Each one was emptied of their nectar dry by the pony-tailed captain. It was just another usual morning around Squad 8.
It was an early morning in the Seireitei. The sun had just perked out its head only half an hour earlier, the faint glow of it shrouding the Soul Society. The shifts of the guards were just changing, as people returned from the night and went to take their much needed rest. However, life of the Soul Society was still asleep.
It wasn't until the sun hit Tenka's eyes that he showed any signs, besides his soft breathing and occasional snore, of actually being alive. He stirred slightly, rolling over onto his side to try and shield himself from the light. However, like a tricky demon, it always seemed to land perfectly onto the visored's eyes. He grumbled, before he gripped the blanket and curled it over himself.
The bottle and cup came with the blanket, sticking between Tenka's stomach and the blanket. The pseudo-cocoon shielding his body from the light. The black and gold blanket covered the entirety of Tenka and his most precious belongings, only slight movements from his breathing showing that there was something actually alive beneath it. That, and the occasional loud snore that seemed to echo around the courtyard.
Subordinates that would be going out for guard duty, and just those that preferred starting their day early have grown accustom to seeing their captain like this in the morning. It was his usual routine, after all. This particular tree was his favorite, and it was fairly common to see him sleeping there after a night out. It was just the way Squad 8 ran, and each of his squad mates respected him as their captain. He was just their goofy, smiling, drunken captain, and they liked it that way.

Roxanna was never one to believe in sleeping in, so before the sun had even begun to rise, she was up and starting her day. Today her day would consist of lazing about, watching over the members of her squad to make sure they didn't go and mess something up. If they did there was going to be hell to pay from the rough lieutenant. She never was against sending them flying over a few roofs to crash into walls as a form of punishment. She was a hell of a lot tougher than most of the men in her squad so she knew that they all would be weary of disappointing her.
Another little aspect of her day had to do with the bottle of sake she held in her right hand. Every few minutes she was tipping the bottle up and drinking down a few sips. By now she had already finished off nearly three-quarters of its contents and the woman showed no signs of even being the slightest bit tipsy. She prided herself in being able to hold her liquor better than most any one around. Especially better than a certain captain of her's whom she had known to have gone out drinking the night before. Where the hell was that man? Surely he couldn't have gotten wasted enough to go to that tree. He hadn't even been out that long. It should have taken a good 36 hour binge party to get drunk enough to sleep at all. It was pathetic.
Taking another drink from her bottle of sake she stood up from the deck she had been sitting on, monitoring what few men had already woken up (she could wake the rest up good and loud after taking care of her captain). She walked to the location where Tenka could often be found and was not disappointed in her assumption that he would be sleeping under that tree he seemed to like so much. Roxanna watched him try to escape the sunlight, effectively wrapping himself up in the blanket until only some hair could be seen poking out of the top of it. She rolled her eyes, walking up to the bundle and simply staring for a minute.
It was then that she raised her foot up silently before slamming it down on where she figure Tenka's ribs would be, not caring to be all that gentle about it. "Time to get up Cap-tain" she punctuated the syllables of captain with a good rise and fall of her foot, beating up on her poor slumbering captain even more. She continued to push on her foot, rocking her captain roughly. Her hand found her hip while the other raised her bottle up again as she chugged down what was left in it. With no other use for the bottle she slammed it against the tree, trying to just be as disruptive as she could be. It was time to get up after all, and Tenka was not one who was woken up that easily.

The only sound was that of a soft snore that echoed throughout the courtyard as the captain of squad 8 slept. Having escaped the evil rising sun, Tenka Kumou was sleeping wonderfully in his blanket cocoon. It was warm, comfy, and cozy within his personal nest. It was how he liked sleeping. Especially when he was trying to sleep off an inevitable hang over. That was the only problem with drinking the pony-tailed man could really think of; the morning after.
However, ever since he got his new lieutenant, he was never able to sleep off the dreaded hang over that plagued his sake-loving life style. He cursed her every single night that he was drinking, knowing full well that his morning would come much faster than he every hoped for. It was true for this time as well, as he felt the familiar feet.
Tenka grumbled, wiggling about in his blanket. "five more minutes." He pleaded in his inebriated state. He tried rolling to avoid the stomping, finding it hard to move under the weight of his faithful lieutenant. However, he broke free from her treacherous stomping, rolling to the side. His cocoon unwrapped itself, the empty bottle of sake and his favorite cup falling onto the ground as the man continued to roll without the blanket.
He wound up a few feet away, face down and eagle-spread. His robe had come lose, leaving his entire front bear while he was spread out. The snoring continued, Tenka back to being blissfully in sleep. It wouldn't last much longer, considering how stubborn Roxanna was. It was only a matter of time before the pirate..err, privateer would wake him up once more. But, the always smiling captain continued his blissful sleep for as long as he could.

Roxanna watched with a twitch in her brow as Tenka escaped the wrath of her stomping foot. She crossed her arms over her chest, slowly lowering her foot down to see where her captain would end up. It wasn't to far. Like a butterfly he emerged from his cocoon, his arms like wings being spread out as he laid their, sprawled out with his face buried in grass. Somehow that that snoring manged to escape though, annoying Roxanna to the core. It was such an unbearable sound. No captain of hers was going to be snoring that way.
She leaned forward, picking up the discarded cup Tenka always seemed to use when he was drinking all by himself. With that done she walked forward to her target, raising her foot up again. Lacking the gentle touch so foreign to her, Roxanna's foot came down upon the back of Tenka's head, pushing his face further into the ground, hopefully to the point where he would be smothered and suffocated. That would surely get him up. But just in case she had a bit of a back up plan.
She raised the cup he so loved up to her eye level, giving it a once over. "I guess you don't really need this is you risk crushing it under all that weight of your's huh?" She uttered with a plain tone, treating the object as if it were worthless. "I guess you wouldn't mind if I just smashed it huh?" She pressed down harder with her foot down upon his head, hoping by now he'd be flailing to be freed. If he didn't get phased by the fact that it was his favorite cup she hoped he would at least care about the cost it would take to replace it. Tenka was above stealing it seem, quite opposite to his rowdy lieutenant.
After another moment she raised her foot up, allowing Tenka to get back up. She turned around, holing the cup out at her side, swinging her wrist as if to say 'come and get it'. She stopped once she reached the tree that she had smashed her sake bottle with. Looking back over her shoulder she arched her brow. It was maddening how cruel such a pretty woman could be.
"Such a wasteful man" With a big, cocky smirk on her face she turned her head away from Tenka and back to the tree. Roxanna drew her hand back, fingers clenching tightly in the cup to the point it nearly cracked right then and there. Her hand flew forward, speedily heading for the bark of her dear captain's favorite tree. She stopped just an inch shy of the trunk, glancing back over her shoulder through waves of blue hair, hoping to see her captain's panicked face and him fully upright and awake.

[atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,460,true] Tenka continued to snore as his lieutenant was moving around. The snoring seemed to grow louder as soon as she picked up his favorite cup. However, just as the captain was inhaling a large breath of air, presumably for the loudest snore and longest snore in the current situation, a large foot pushed his face into the ground. His body squirmed and reacted naturally to the suffocation. He was thrashing and flailing about this time, unable to remove his lieutenant's foot from his head. His words could not be understood, just muffled sounds that turned into what seemed to be a sort of shout and yell.
Hearing her talk about his cup made Tenka's body go limp. He didn't even know what she was talking about. His cup was, and always has been perfectly fine. Even when he's slept on it for entire nights. He started to worry, wondering what she would do to his precious cup. At this moment, the secondary force of her foot stomped him further into the ground. He started to thrash about more. It wasn't really for himself, but for his dear drinking partner. Without that cup, he would have no one to drink with!
As soon as her foot was let go, Tenka pushed against the ground and wound up pushing too hard. He exploded out of the ground, to simply land on his back with a large thud. He grumbled and panted, trying to absorb as much air as he can despite the splitting headache. it took him a moment to catch his breath, before he looked at this woman that was more evil than she was pretty. A childish glare came on his face as he watched her get closer to the tree. That was when the pieces started to come together.
A look of pure horror was on his face, as the pony-tailed man watched this evil being pull back her hand. He noticed how tight her hand was clenched, worrying it would break before she even carried out her dastardly plan. He jumped up, and dashed towards her shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" He dived towards her hand, but a little too soon. He fell on the floor and sided, coming to a stop just at Roxanna's feet. He looked up, seeing his cup still in one piece, a sigh of relief coming out of his mouth.

Oh how Roxanna just loved that look that crossed her captain's face. It almost made her want to smash that cup just to see the utter devastation that would mix in with his terrified look. She couldn't say she wasn't cruel enough to do it. There were at least 90% of her bones that were nothing but cruel. What stopped her from going through with it was knowing she wouldn't hear the end of it from the distressed captain if her little drinking buddy was smashed into dozens of little pieces. It'd be just as bad as killing his best friend and sadly Roxanna didn't think that was an exaggeration.
She stepped on his head once again, just to give him some more discipline, though being merciful this time and not shoving his head into the ground, hoping to just leave a good mark in her wake. "Glad ta see ya finally woke up Captain." she greeted with that ever present look of dominance on her face. She was indeed pleased with herself. She'd have to remember this plan for the next time the man slacked off. That was her job. And she had a feeling this would repeat itself all over again the next morning. There was no helping the man's light weight when it came to alcohol. He couldn't have had more than a few jugs of sake. Weak.
She removed her foot, dropping his cup so it would land on his head right on the spot she had just slammed her foot on. "Now why don't you get up. I'm sure there's something you could be doing no?" she suggested, not even waiting for him to respond. She leaned forward, grabbing the back of her captain's coat and easily lifting her captain up, not caring to make sure he was stable on his feet before she let go and gave him a good shove to the shoulder. If he wasn't quick enough to catch his footing that was his own fault. It was damn near time for him to get up. If she were honest she'd hope that he hadn't done so and she could then watch him stumble and fall right back to the ground like a fool, only to be picked up by her again with a continuing cycle. Beating up the man with out him even realizing what was going on would be the highlight of her morning.

Tenka couldn't help but tear up slightly as he watched his beloved cup not leave his very cruel lieutenant's hand. If he lost that cup, for Tenka, it would be like losing his best friend in the entire world. That cup has been with him for a good, five..no, even ten entire months of continuous drinking. He had been through hell and back with that cup. For the pony-tailed captain, that cup was as good as human. He couldn't lose his best friend. He would turn into a mess of a captain.
His thoughts were cut off, as another forceful foot slammed his head into the ground. He groaned, his head was starting to hurt from the constant abuse..not to mention the night before. It was just too much, and Tenka just laid there for as long as he could. He really had to stop having nights like this. The mornings were always rough with this beautiful pirate around. Though, the call of the sake was just too great for the man to resist. It wasn't his fault everything was just too good, and he couldn't hold his alcohol as much as other people.
He continued to grumble and groan, even when the cup landed on his head. However, he didn't have much time to respond to his faithful subordinate before he found the sun shining brightly in his eyes. Just as time seemed to move faster, finding himself on the ground once more. He couldn't do anything about it, everything moving too fast and his head just pulsing. It wasn't until he heard the sound of something breaking on the fifth time Roxanna picked and pushed him. Tenka landed on his cup, the force the lieutenant exerted, and his own weight being enough to crush the cup underneath his side.
Tears started to swell up as he realized what happened. The Captain's best friend in the entire world had just shattered. He no longer had his drinking buddy. He couldn't help but shed a few tears during the onslaught of the pretty, dominating privateer. It was after the tenth time that he fell, that he was able to stand. He resisted the force of the violent girl, sniffling. "Who am I going to drink with now..." He asked himself quietly, looking towards the corpse of his fallen friend as a single tear sliding down his face as stood,

So by some unknown cause, Tenka just couldn't seem to stand on his feet no matter how many times Roxanna picked him up and threw him around. He was a little bit hopeless it seemed. On that fifth time though something happened that Roxanna just wanted to get away from right away. There was a horrible smashing sound, like that of glass or clay and instantly the woman froze. She didn't even have to look down to know what had been broken. Still for some reason she turned her head, spotting the broken cup and a rather upset looking Tenka.
She gave a long sigh, placing one hand on her hip ans the other went behind her head to nest itself in her hair. "Uh yeah..Thats too bad.." Clearly she wasn't the consoling type. Still she felt a little bit bad for him. He really did like that cup. There wasn't a morning she came out to wake up her lazy captain when he didn't have the thing lying right beside him like some kind of lover. And now it was broken and she suspected some part of Tenka's heart was shattered as well. He was simple like that.
"How about you go ahead and get up then we can go and get you another one or something" she grumbled, looking the other way. She didn't want to look soft and kind like she was acting so she wouldn't dare meet the eyes of her distraught captain. She just shifted on her hips, trying to keep up that tough guy kinda look. The last thing she needed was Tenka knowing she actually cared a little bit. She'd never get to hear the end of that one. She could act like it was just to shut him up. Yeah. That worked.

Tenka continued to sniffle on the ground for a moment before crawling over to the pieces of his beloved cup. He sat up before he took each and every piece in his hands and held them to his torso. He started to cry silently, streams of tears coming down the still slightly intoxicated man. That was his favorite cup. He had spent so many nights drinking with that cup. The stories they shared and adventures they went on together. He just lost one of his best friends in the world. He hardly even heard his lieutenant, as he rocked back and forth with the pieces still cupped in his hands.
He continued this for a few more minutes, before his beautiful companion suggested they go get a new cup. He looked towards her, his face still wet from crying. he sniffled and rubbed his nose with his sleeve. He nodded slightly, before getting up and walking to where she stood. He looked at her, noticing that she was acting rather odd. It took him a few moments before he figured out why she wouldn't look him in the eyes and was moving the way she was. That's when a large smile crept onto his face, as he figured it out.
He abandoned the corpse of his beloved drinking body onto the floor, tossing it aside as an opportunity like this wouldn't come around again for awhile. He started to shuffle beside her, trying to look her in the face and just in general be annoying, his trademark smile never leaving his fast. "You cccaaarrrreeeee" he said, finally standing still to look at her in the face. "No cup will ever beat the loving and caring of such a pretty lady~~" He jested, smiling at her. He figured he would get hurt for this, but he didn't really care.

Roxanna saw that smile. How could she miss the way it just filled up that man's face. She only scowled in return. God...she knew what was coming. She dreaded every moment of it too. She stiffened up, getting ready for what was to come. And a second later Tenka was on his feet, excitedly running up to her like some kid. She shifted her weight sticking one hip out toward him to try and keep the distance between him and her face as she looked away, his effort clearly not being in vain. The blood vessels in her head pounded as the man when around shuffling like that. And his voice just seemed to keep going.
She had to fight back some kind of a blush when he referred to her as a pretty lady, making sure not to look him in the face. She didn't get called pretty to her face a lot, mostly because anytime she met strangers she was beating them up before they could even have the chance to try and pick her up. "Y-Yeah whatever alright!" She shot her head around to glare at him, her hand shooting out as well. It looked like she was going to hit him right in the face though that wasn't the case.
Instead she grabbed hold of his top, fisting the fabric in her hands and giving a harsh tug. "Go get your shit done already then we can go" she ordered, a smug look coming onto her face. She could still get him back for making her seem like a caring person. She turned around, still not letting go of her hold on Tenka. Then with all of her strength she gave a fierce tug, aiming to throw him right over the roof in the general direction of his office. If he just crashed through the roof well.. she just helped him make a quicker trip was all.

Tenka's face was beaming as he continued to pester his Lieutenant. It was a very rare case for the woman to show any sort of caring or concern about well, anyone besides herself. And the fact that she just showed it to him made the captain's heart sore. Sure, everyone like the smiling man. Well, at least most people did. It was his smile that did it, his trademark smile that seems to fill up his face and everyone around him with the sense that everything is fine, good, and will be alright.
That's why when he saw Roxanna blush, even if it was just a very small glimpse in their little game of trying to see or avoid looking directly at one another, his smile widened even more and he began to laugh. It was even rarer for this beauty to blush. That was when the tug at his collar seemed to bring him back, as Tenka opened his eyes to look at the glaring lieutenant. "You're even pretty when you're mad~~ Imagine if you smillllleeeddd~~~~" he mocked, smiling at her.
"So forceful and fierce too~ with so much confidence~~~" He said unrelenting, after being given orders by someone of a lesser rank. Of course, he would follow suit. It wasn't a rare occurrence at all for the captain of squad 8 to take orders from his lieutenant. It was something that happened at least once a day.
And suddenly, Tenka's train of thought was lost just as the rowdy woman launched him. Tenka gave off a startled squeal as he flew. It was comedic to watch, as the captain was spinning high into the air, to land directly above his office. However, he didn't crash through the roof, simply made an indent. He stood after a moment, rubbing the back of his head. "owwww, what was that-" he began to say in an almost whining voice, before the roof started cracking and fell through. Tenka landed with a large thud, followed by a load groan, that seemed to echo across the barracks.
