Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach, the Bleach characters, NOR the Bleach plot. I only own my OC Akira Kuchiki, any other OCs created along the way, and any part of this story NOT a part of the anime or manga. This fanfic, however, is MINE and I'd like to keep it that way.

Chapter 1-Punctuality

Byakuya sat on the deck of the Kuchiki mansion, impatiently waiting for the arrival of his best friend. They were supposed to be sparing today and she was already three, THREE minutes late! So what if she was his second cousin and best friend (and quite possibly childhood crush), being late was unacceptable!

The Kuchiki heir's eye twitched sporadically as he abruptly moved into a standing position; now intent on hunting the female out and screaming her head off about the importance of punctuality.

THWACK!

A small pebble fell to the ground after hitting the backside of the twitching teenager's head. If possible, Byakuya's twitching got even MORE sporadic as several ticks formed on his forehead. Doing his best (and failing) to calm his temper, the black-haired youth cast out his senses in hopes of locating the assailant's reiatsu. Needless to say, with his 'perfectly calm' concentration (note extreme sarcasm), it didn't work.

"AKIRA KUCHIKI!" he finally roared, the little thin threads of his patience snapping like a spider's webbing, "GET OUT HERE NOW!"

A merry laugh was heard as a young girl around the age of sixteen shunpoed in front of him. Her shoulder-length, raven-black hair swished around her as she landed. A bright grin adorned her aristocratic face while her amber eyes sparkled with amusement. "Aww… come, come now Byaku-chan!" she teased, standing languidly on one foot with her arms behind her head, "Stop bein' such a poo!"

"You are three, NO… Now make that FIVE minutes late!" Byakuya screeched. You could practically see the steam coming out of his ears.

"Oh, goodness!" Akira replied, faking a surprised and appalled look, "I am?!"

Several more ticks added themselves to his forehead's collection as he stalked dangerously towards the amber-eyed female, a cloud of doom beginning to swirl around his person. "It appears you're trying to make me really angry…" the young man growled, picking up his bokken.

"My, my… Someone's worked up!" the female Kuchiki tsked; grin still firmly in place, unaffected by her cousin's doom promising aura. None the less, however, she too drew her own bokken off of her back and dropped into a defensive stance.

Seeing that Akira was prepared, Byakuya proceeded with his plan to make her thoroughly regret making him wait for so long because of her tardiness. Charging, he swung his bokken with a sideward's chop.

Ducking out of harm's way, Akira smirked devilishly as she came face to face with the bow tie holding her best friend's hakama together. Instantly grabbing the little knot, she quickly shunpoed out of reach, simultaneously jerking said knot undone.

Whirling around, the Kuchiki heir felt something around his lower regions beginning to fall and yelped in surprise as he grabbed his quickly descending clothes. His cheeks blazed scarlet, both from anger and embarrassment, as he glared murderously as his hysterically laughing cousin, "Akira!"

"Whoops! My bad!" the raven-haired female laughed, tears beginning to spill out of her eyes.

"HER BAD?!" the gray-eyed youth fumed. Eyes narrowed with vengeful intent, Byakuya once again dropped into a fighting stance after retying his hakama. "You don't honestly think you're going to get away with that, do you?" he asked threateningly, a cocky smirk appearing on his face.

Akira paled and gulped at her cousin's mood swing. He'd gotten serious, "Crap!"

Well, there's the first chapter! I really hope you found it as amusing as I did when I was typing it. Updates will be quick and sporadic, so I hope you stay tuned for the next one! Pretty PWETTY PWEASE review, and follow and favorite while you're at it!

Rock Out!
