Boxed Lunch (Hono/Rangiku)

The eighth was a place Hono found herself in a surprising amount of time. Usually, it was the sixth and the seventh mainly, but the eighth was a place she’d find herself delivering food to more often. Rei and Koga were some of her friends while Yuri and her had… a complicated relationship. Hono couldn’t find a word for it, friends was weird, and rivals didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Let’s just say complicated.

Today was no exception. She felt like Koga and Rei deserved a little something special. Sandwiches! Nothing grand but Hono made sure to make them to their preferences which she felt like she had a solid understanding of, after bringing them food she got a feel for the flavors and toppings they liked.

Dropping them off, in the common area, they were wrapped in two small little lunch bags labeled. “Rei” and “Koga” respectively. However, there was also a part of the note that read. “Only for them. Eat it and I’ll kill you, <3 Hono” Normally she’d just bring it to them directly, but it seemed they were both out, so she decided to leave them in their common area. They’d get it eventually. So there Hono would stand, placing both of the bags on a small table, where they would hopefully be collected.

Though her reputation wasn't doing her any favors, a few random members who seemed to be chatting amongst themselves were staring at the pink-haired woman, knowing of her violent tendencies.

Hono did have a reputation… what kind depended on who you asked. She was brash, and a little crude, but if you knew her, she was friendly and extremely motherly. After placing down the food, she would let out a sigh that she wouldn’t be able to see how Rei and Koga were doing. Though she knew they were probably busy with their work.

Hearing a feminine voice Hono turned towards the busty woman, eye level with them for just a moment before looking up. “Food delivery…? Make sure Rei and Koga get this. Kay?” This was her first time speaking with Rangiku, she had seen her in passing a couple of times when dropping things off for the two, but they hadn’t spoken.

“Well. Yeah, I try” She tapped her chin and thought about how much she really did cook. Not just those two, but in general. “I actually owe Koga a lot, he helped me out with some criminals out in the Rukongai, and helped me lock them up. So I repay the favor with some free lunch every so often” Next was Rei. “And Rei is a woman I’ve seen grow, and she's a good friend of mine. So I like to show some love! Has she talked about little ol me?” Deciding to mess with Rangiku a bit she leaned forward. “Did you want some food? All you need to do is ask nicely~”


“I’d have to ask them. But my note SHOULD get the point across. Plus… I doubt any of them would wanna mess with Koga’s stuff” Hono decided to keep it simple, if people had manners, they wouldn’t take food. “If they don’t pay mind to the note well… they’re just a big dumbass who can’t read! I know my food is amazing and all, but shouldn’t the eighth know better than to take what’s not there?” She didn’t exactly mean this as a jab against Rangiku or anything, thought it could come across that way.

Well, at least Rangiku was offering to help her out, she could respect that! Hono would laugh, and fold her arms. “Oh, I’d appreciate that! Ran…” She snapped her finger a couple of times, the Shinigami’s tongue resting on the tip of her tongue.

“Rangiku! Right?” She explained. “I’ve heard of you! You ARE just as pretty in person. Honestly love your hair” Hono decided to dip into small talk. “Next time I’ll bring you some. What’s your taste?” She asks, raising an eyebrow.
