I was thinking one day how much fun it would be if Toshiro had to go to high school with Karin and this story emerged. If there are any mistakes in grammar or spelling blame my sister. She is the one who checked my story.

Chapter 1 A Normal Day
It had been four years since Aizen's defeat. It was July 1st the sun was barley up. Toshiro got out of bed. He had only had five hours of sleep because yesterday had been pay day, and he was forced to babysit Matsumoto and Hisagi's one and half year old baby while they went out.
"What am I supposed to do today?" he asked himself.
"Must we get up right now?" yawned Hyorinmaru in Toshiro's mind
"Yes, and please don't yawn. You'll make me yawn."
"Sorry."
Toshiro got ready for the day. " There is supposed to be a delivery of kido targets today."
"Isn't that Matsumoto's job."
"Yes, but ever since Hisagi gave Matsumoto a child she uses it as a way to get out of doing almost all her work."
"She is a good mom."
"Yeah," Toshiro walked into his office. "Now I need to finish Matsumoto's paperwork from yesterday and catch up on mine. The budget and inventory repots where due yesterday."
"Why are you doing Matsumoto's work again? That's why your reports are late again."
"Yesterday was Matsumoto and Hisagi first year wedding anniversary. I had given her that day off remember."
"Yes, but you did it with the condition that she does her work today."
"I know. Now please I need to read these papers."
Rangiku moseyed in around eleven o'clock when Toshiro had finished all yesterday's paperwork and was filling it away.
"Good morning, Captain. Say 'Good morning' Yua." Rangiku had Yua (Rangiku and Shuuhi's daughter) on her hip. Yua was sucking on her fingers. "Captain, can you watch Yua while I take a nap. She got me up way to early."
"Matsumoto, you agreed to do your paperwork today."
"I'll do it later. And when are you going to call me Hisagi? I've been married for a year now."
"It's a habit."
"Oh, Captain…"
"Do you know if the kido targets have arrived yet?"
"Kido targets? Did you order some, Captain?"
"I asked you to order them last week when I was doing the supply count!"
"I don't re…."
"You didn't order them." Rangiku looked at him blankly. "I can't do all your work! I don't have the time!"
Yua began to cry. "Shhh. It's ok. I'll order that thing today."
"That Thing! Kido Targets! Matsumoto! Ki-do Tar-gets!"
"Please stop yelling, Captain. You're upsetting Yua."
"I have to get something to eat and take these reports to the Head Captain. Please do your work, Matsumoto."
"You can count on me, Captain."
"If only that were true," he muttered to himself.
Several squad members bowed and said "Hello, Captain" as Toshiro walked into the dining hall and began to quickly eat his launch.
"You should have had breakfast before going to the office," said Hyorinmaru.
"I needed to get to work."
"Yes, But you haven't been eating enough."
Toshiro got up, gathered his papers, and shunpo to company one. He knocked on the Head Captain's office door.
"Who is it?" said Yamamoto.
"It's Captain Hitsugaya of Company Ten, Sir," replied Toshiro.
"Come in," said Yamamoto. Toshiro opened the doors, walked in, and bowed. "Captain Hitsugaya your repots are late."
"I know Head Captain," Toshiro said handing Yamamoto the reports. "It won't happen again."
"The first time you were late I believed you, but that was two years ago. You used to be the most punctual Captain."
"I'm sorry Head Captain. I have no excuse."
"It would help if Matsumoto took Yua to daycare and did her own work," said Hyorinmaru.
"Be quiet," replied Toshiro.
After the Head Captain read the cover of each report he asked, "Where is the report on your squad training progress?"
"Matsumoto was supposed to give you that report last week."
"I haven't seen any of your Lieutenant's reports for the past three months."
"I knew that she was behind, but I didn't know that she was three months behind."
"As Captain of Company Ten you are responsible for your company's behavior. I have seen a decline. Your company lakes discipline. I want all the reports I'm missing by the Captain's meeting two weeks from today. If you don't have it by then Captain Kuchiki will take care of the discipline in your company."
"Yes, Sir."
"Here is a list of everything I'm missing. You're dismissed Captain Hitsugaya."
Toshiro bowed and left Yamamoto's office. Walking back to his company he looked at the list. "There are five pages here. What!? The Head Captain didn't get the May's inventory report. I asked Matsumoto to take it to him when she said she was going there to give him the list of the new recruits."
"She must have left it on her desk," said Hyorinmare.
"But he didn't get the new recruit list either."
"When was this?"
Toshiro thought for a minute. "It was May 28th. She left an hour after she said she was going to take the reports the Head Captain."
"Didn't Yua spill juice all over the floor, herself, and Matsumoto?"
"Yes, that's why she forgot."
"Does Matsumoto even know that our company has a huge daycare?"
"I'm going to have a long talk with her."
"Shiro-chan," Momo said waiting for him in his office.
"Why are you here Momo? And where is Matsumoto?"
"Your Lieutenant left," said Shinji relaxed on the couch.
"Captain Hirako please make your business short I have a lot to do."
"I just came here to get out of the office. Hinamori is the one who wants to talk to you."
"What is it Momo?" Toshiro asked setting the list on his desk.
"Granny says that she needs some money for food because she gave all her food to a man who has been out of work for two months and he has a family to support."
"I hope that man was telling Granny the truth," he said opening a drawer to get the box he kept some money in and gave it to Momo.
"Shiro-chan."
"It's Captain Hitsugaya."
"I was hoping we could go to Granny's for dinner and give her the money together."
"I have a lot of work to do."
"Relax," said Shinji, "Taking one night off isn't going to destroy your company."
"You relax too much."
When was the last time you saw your Grandmother?" asked Shinji.
"On my last vacation. Not that it's any of your business."
"Which was three years ago," said Momo.
"You really need a vacation! I couldn't go three years without a vacation."
"You can't go three months without at least a four day weakened."
"Now that's cold. Perhaps a vacation would warm you up a little."
"Do either of you know where Matsumoto is?"
"No," said Shinji.
"She wasn't here when Captain Hirako and I arrived," said Momo. "Are you sure you can't come to Granny's with me?"
"If I finish all my work today and if I can get Matsumoto to do hers, I might come."
"That means you won't come," said Momo sadly.
"Momo."
"Now look at what you've done. You made my Lieutenant sad."
"Don't you have somewhere to go Captain Hirako."
"Alright I'm going. Come on Hinomori," said Shinji. "Oh, Captain Hitsugaya, you really do need to relax and have some fun every once in a while. You're way to tense for someone your age." Shinji and Momo left.
"How can I have fun and relax when Matsumoto doesn't do her job."
"You don't have time to look for her. It's almost two o'clock and you're supposed to met Captain Zaraki at three for his training," said Hyorinmare.
"Right I need to get today's paperwork done before starting on the list of reports the Head Captain is missing."
Toshiro sat down and started working. Ten minutes later Ranghiku came in with Yua. "Hi, Captain we are back."
"Where have you been?"
"Yua and I had lunch and then I let Yua play. Now she should be ready for her nap." Rangiku laid Yua on the couch and Yua fell right to sleep. "Now for my nap."
"No, now you do all the reports that the Head Captain should already have."
"That's not many."
"Matsumoto," said Toshiro holding the list out to her.
"What's this?"
"All the reports the Head Captain is messing, if he doesn't get them before the Captain's meeting in two weeks he'll put Captain Kuchiki in charge of our company until our company learns discipline."
"That's not fair. You're a great Captain."
"Yes, it is fair Matsumoto. I need you to do your work properly. You need to take Yua to the daycare so you can work."
"But Captain…"
"Get to work."
Their work was interrupted fifteen minutes later. When Kurotsuchi walked in, "May I have a moment of you time?"
"If it's not important then leave."
"It's an important question."
"Leave."
Kurotsuchi frowned, "but I haven't asked my question yet."
"Leave."
"I'll ask you any way. Would you submit yourself to research? You're so talented."
"No!"
"You're more talented than some nobles. Of course you're not as talented as me."
"No!"
"I'll give you a good health plan."
"No!"
"Aren't you even curious about why I want you for my experiments?"
"No! Now leave my office!"
"Oh, but I'm prepared to offer you a good deal."
"I said LEAVE!" Yua began crying louder. Rangiku got up and went over to her. "You woke up Yua."
"Your yelling did that."
"LEAVE! NOW!"
"Alright. But if you change your mind you know where to find me."
"Not in a thousand years," Toshiro muttered gritting his teeth and giving Kurotsuchi an icy glare.
"Will she going to go back to sleep?"
"I don't think so Captain," Rangiku gave Yua a doll and Yua stopped crying.
"Get back to work Matsumoto."
"Captain."
"I'm sure Yua will be fine playing with her doll."
"Yes, Captain," Rangiku went back to her seat.
Over the next hour Yua tried to play with Hyorinmare, eat the quills, climb the selves, drink ink, pull everything out of any drawer or door she could open, took papers that Toshiro and Rangiku had just finished and tried to eat them or she would tear them.
"Captain Hitsuhaya," said Ikkaku appearing in the door.
"Don't open mommy's desk drawers Yua," said Rangiku.
"Yes, third seat Madarame," said Toshiro.
"The Captain is waiting for you," said Ikkaku.
Toshiro looked at the time. It was 3:30. "I'm thirty minutes late. Matsmoto."
"Yua, stop that."
"Matsumoto!"
"Yes, Captain."
"I'm going over to Company Eleven. I want you to do as much of your work as you can."
"Yes, sir. Yua!"
Toshiro left. He went to an abandoned training ground at squad eleven. Kenpachi was siting in the middle of the training ground. He had his eyes closed and his zanpakuto in his lap. Yachiro was setting at the edge of the training ground; her elbows on her knees and her chin resting in her hands.
Toshiro came up beside Yachiru. "Is he in his inner world or asleep again?"
"Ken-chan! Punching bag is here!" Yachiru yelled smiling and waving.
"It's about time," Kenpachi said standing up.
"Don't call me punching bag," said Toshiro. "How long have you been trying to get into your inner world today, Zaraki?"
"I've been trying since one o' clock. I woke up at around three."
Toshiro sighed. "You'll never learn the name of your zanpakuto if you keep falling asleep."
"Yeah, I'll try more meditation tomorrow. Let's fight!"
"Alright," said Toshiro pulling out Hyorinmare and walking toward the center of the training ground. "Remember your zanpakuto is your ally not a tool."
"Do you have to lecture me every time?"
"You're the one who asked me to help you get stronger."
Toshiro and Kenpachi trained for three hours.
"Good fight," said Kenpachi smiling.
"Well, I'm going to get cleaned up."
"Hurray! Ken-can won!" cheered Yachiro.
"It was a tie," said Toshiro.
"Bye, Punching Bag. Come back soon, so you and Ken-chan can play again."
"I'm not a PUCHING BAG."
"See ya later," said Kenpachi.
"See you," Toshiro walked back to his squad. "I'll get cleaned up and then I'll get something to eat and see if Matsumoto did any work."
"She probably didn't," said Hyorinamare.
"I hope she did."
"What about your Granny?"
"Yes, Thank you for reminding me. I guess I'll see if Matsumoto did any work so if she did I can eat at Granny's"
"You'll go to bed hungry again if you do that."
"We'll see."
Toshiro got cleaned up and went straight to the office. He saw Rangiku and Momo sitting on the couch talking together. When Momo saw Toshiro she said, "Shiro-chan, I decided to wait for you before going to Granny's to see if you where coming."
"It's Captain Hitsugaya. Matsumoto did you do your work?"
"Well," she said twirling her hair. Toshiro glared at her. "Well, after you left, Captain, Yua wouldn't let me do any work so at about four I took her to Shuuhi and came back here to do my work, but…"
"But!"
"But I fell asleep at my desk. Momo woke me up about ten minutes ago."
"So how many of the reports that the Head Captain needs did you get done."
"Ummm. One."
"One!"
"Paper work is so boring."
"Matsumoto! One a day isn't going to get it done on time."
"I did order the kido targets, does that count?"
"Matsumoto! Now I have to stay here and make you do the work!"
"I told you," said Hyorinmare.
"Shut up," said Toshiro out loud.
"We didn't say anything," said Momo.
"He was talking to his zanpakuto again," said Rangiku.
"Oh."
"Don't worry, Captain. I'll do my work and you can go with Momo to see your Granny."
"Are you going to do your work before or after you put Yua to bed."
"Is it almost seven already."
"Yes."
"Then I'll do my work after."
"Then I'm staying here to make sure you come back."
"But, Captain."
"Matsumoto!"
"Alright I'll go put Yua to bed and I'll be right back."
"Momo go on to Granny's without me. Please, tell Granny that I'm sorry that I couldn't come. I'm just so busy."
"Ok, We'll miss you Shiro-chan."
"It's Captain Hitsugaya." When he was alone in the office, he went to his desk and started working on the reports on the list that the Head Captian gave him. Rangiku came back two hours later. "It's about time."
"I'm sorry. But since it's so late I think I'll go to bed and do the work tomorrow. Good night, Captain."
"Matsumoto, do you want Captain Kuchiki to take over our company?"
"No."
"Then sit down right now or you won't get your next paycheck."
"Yes, Captain." Rangiku quickly went to her desk and started working. The last time he said she wouldn't get paid if she didn't do something she didn't listen and she went without a paycheck. "The Captain is so strict," she thought.
Toshiro let Rangiku go home at midnight. Two hours later he went home. He got up at six and started a new day. Every day was much like today with little rest or food.
Me: If you review I will give you some of my mama's fudge. If you don't review I will send Yua to your house.
Rangiku: I won't let you kidnap Yua.
Me: I won't kidnap her. I'm going to borrow her.
Rangiku: I won't let you do that either.
Toshiro: Please, take Yua and Rangiku.
Me: I can do that.
Rangiku: What, Captain!?
