Chapter 1
"This meeting will now come to order, let us begin the welcoming ceremony." Captain Commander of the Gotei 13 banged his favorite wooden stick on the ground.
The captains haven't not seen each other in a while were chattering away, wondering what could have brought about a meeting during these peaceful times for Aizen had been defeated for a year and a half; now formed their ranks and stood quietly facing their commander. Not much had changed in the soul society in fact they had just finished rebuilding the fake Karakura town and had souls from the overflowing Rukongai moving there. Yamamoto had seen no reason to take down the building and even denied the request of the 12 squad lab relocating there.
"The purpose of this meeting is to inform you that we have managed to fill in the remaining captain positions." Yamamoto said.
"Took you long enough old man." Kenpachi said
Byakuya raised his hand to speak. "So-taicho I must express my concerns about this matter, we must not overlook like that fact that we had an incident like this once before, the perpetrator being Amagai Shusuke."
"Who gives a crap" Kenpachi replied. "I didn't even have a crack at that bastard Amagai, but the main purpose here is if these new recruits are up for it. I'd hate to work with someone weak. Say could I have a crack at them, am itching for a good fight it has been a while?"
"And the Barbarian strikes again" Mayuri shrugged.
"What you say you crazy scientist?" Kenpachi growled. "If you stop getting holed up in that dingy lab of yours then maybe you could toughen up a bit more!"
"Someone with your primitive brain will never understand the importance a brilliant scientist like me holds within this society." Mayuri retaliated.
"They never change do they?" Toushirou muttered to himself "Always fighting among themselves these crazy old guys."
"Captain Soifon, Captain Komamura, anything more you'd like to add?" Yamamoto said interrupting the arguments.
"No sir" Soifon said.
"I trust your Judgment" Komamura added
Byakuya stepped forward. "We all do, all I am implying is…
"Captain Kuchiki," Yamamoto stopped him. "your concern was one of the first among others on my mind, however we cannot let the positions remain unfilled, one can only hope this time we made the right decision. On another note, I have observed the new captains and we, including the other captains present at the exams are satisfied with their skills and potential as such they do have what it takes to be a captain."
Byakuya bowed and stepped back in line
"Enter and introduce yourselves." Yamamoto called, every head swiveled towards the entrance as the doors opened and three men entered.
The person on the right stepped forward, he had sea blue eyes and the same colored hair which was long and sleek and held in a ponytail, he stood at 186 cm (6'1") and has a muscular body. He wore a sleeveless shihakusho and also a sleeveless haori exposing weird tattoos on both his muscular arms. His blue and white hilted sword had an oval shaped guard which was tied to his right hip by a white obi.
"Sir" he said as he stood at attention. "I am the former captain of the Kido Corps. My name is Jay. I am pleased at the prospect of working together with you all.
"Jay here will be the 3rd squad captain from now on" Yamamoto addressed the other captains before the directing jay to his spot.
The next to step forward was young, looking like he was in his early twenties. He was dark skinned with green eyes, short black hair and long, thin sideburns. He stood at 180cm (5'11") and has a lean body. He wore the standard Shinigami uniform with the standard haori that looked too big for him. He had two swords; one was a long nodachi which he carries on his back strapped with a green sash and the second was an ordinary katana on his left hip supported with a green obi. Both also had green hilts with a skull shaped guard.
"The name is shibusawa Moe, until now, I was the fifth seat of the 8th division, I hope we can get along together." He said cheerfully
"Very well, this is our 5th squad captain" Yamamoto said also directing him to his place.
"I can see why Kyoraku took a liking to him" Soifon whispered to Unohana.
Yamamoto cleared his throat as the last person stepped up, doing his best to hide his nerves. He looked around the room, gulped and started.
"Nice to meet ya'll" he scratched his black spiky head, he had yellow eyes and his physique made it look like a good gust of wind could blow him away anytime.
"My name is Isaac, former third seat of the second squad and head of the detention unit"
He wore the standard shihakusho, a sleeveless haori and was holding his sword in his hand.
"Doesn't he kinda look like you Hitsugaya Kun?" Kyoraku asked
"Like hell."
"You never know he might be your long lost brother or something." Kyoraku laughed "see, same height and everything."
"Stop with the jokes please." Hitsugaya muttered.
"Isaac here will be the new 9th squad captain; this meeting is adjourned until further notice." Yamamoto concluded.
Karakura Town
Ichigo groaned as he collapsed unto the sofa, his muscles aching. Helping his dad out in the clinic is a tough job especially if you're the only muscle. It's been tough for him these past few months true he's had less work to do because of the loss of his Shinigami powers but his other duties have increased as a result and his 3rd year at Karakura high has not helped. Every day without fail, he was given tons of homework to do and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Keigo who looked like he was about to collapse due to stress.
He got up, glanced at the clock, shrugged that it was 9pm and started walking towards the stairs, thinking he might as well get an early shower and sleep if he was to move tomorrow. Just as he reached the staircase, he heard the doorbell ring. Wondering who might be visiting at this hour, he removed his foot from the bottom stair and crossed the threshold pouting. He opened the door and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw his surprise visitor.
"Mr. Ichigo" Ururu said in a flat robot-like voice due to her genocide mode. "A package for you" she handed a small, brown, hastily wrapped package before collapsing on the welcome mat blood seeping through the floor.
