Hi! I'm a newbie here and this is my first fanfic (though I have been a fan of fanfics for quite a while)

I hope you all like the first part of this series. Hopefully I'll write a chapter on the reaction of each of the Taichous on Ukki's lil' Kitty, and will add to it depending on your requests. =]

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, and don't think I ever will. I DO own a cat, though.

"…this is… for me?''

Ukitake Juushiro motioned at the little bundle in Kuchiki Rukia's arms.

" Yes, Taichou… during my trip to the real world, I saw this thing, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring it to you as a…souvenir?" Rukia said, unsurely.

"Hmm…" the captain of the Thirteenth squad slowly stretched his hand toward the small thing.

"Miaow?" the little furball raised its head. A smile instantly lit up the Captain's face.

"Ohh… a cat! Haven't seen one all these days I've been living in Seireitei… well. Not counting Yoruichi-san once in cat form, that is. Heh heh!" Ukitake smiled at the little kitten, whose fur matched the colour of his own hair. He softly picked up the kitten from his Lieutenant's hands.

"Ah… Taichou. I will now proceed to writing down a report on my latest mission in the real world." With this, Rukia exited the Captain's office.

"Hmm… now, what shall I do with this little kitten?" Ukitake thought aloud. As the kitten looked at him with innocent, wide eyes, he lifted it up, and cuddled it against his neck.

"Oh, first of all, I should give you a name, right?" he said to the small cat. "How about Shiro? Since you have white fur… Considering that both me and Hitsugaya taicho, who have white hair, have the word 'Shiro' in both our names, I think it is a good idea." Ukitake smiled.

"What about my name?" said a voice, and Ukitake found the Tenth squad Captain standing outside his office door, with papers in his hand.

"Ah, if it isn't Hitsugaya Taicho! Came back for more sweets?" joked Ukitake.

"No! why would I? It's just that my Fukutaicho had gone and run off with Abarai and the gang… and now I'm left to do all her work, as well as mine. I came to deliver these papers to you." Hitsugaya Toushiro handed over the pile of sheets in his hand.

"Oh, how kind of you, Taicho." Ukitake moved to receive the papers, and all of a sudden, he saw Hitsugaya Taicho's eyes grow wide, and gasp.

"Wh..What is that?" the young captain pointed at the kitten.

"Ah… This is my new pet, Shiro-chan. Rukia brought her for me from the real world. I expect you have not seen a cat in a while either, Hitsugaya Taichou?" Ukitake asked.

"Uh, no. It's… so small." Hitsugaya uncertainly reached out for the kitten. All of a sudden, the cat jumped out at the (seemingly) young boy, and nuzzled against his shoulders. Unfortunately, it shocked the Captain, and he jumped back, losing grip of the bundle of papers in his hands. As they scattered everywhere, Hitsugaya reluctantly tried to pry away the friendly little kitten from his shoulders.

"I'm so sorry, taichou. I didn't think the little cat would scare you -"

"I'm NOT scared of that! It just surprised me!" the short tempered captain interrupted. "AAH, now I'll have to rearrange all these papers again…" he complained as the fallen papers started to scatter all over with the blowing wind.

"Don't worry about that, Taicho. I'll deal with these documents." Ukitake reassured Hitsugaya as he softly plucked the little kitten from the younger captain's hair. "Ooh look, I was right! The little kitten's fur is the exact colour of your hair, Taichou!" he tried to brighten up the atmosphere.

"I don't care! I'm going back to my quarters." The Tenth squad captain stormed out of the building, his face red.

"Now, why would he get angry at such an adorable little creature?" Ukitake puzzled.
