"Dude, get your ass up!"
"I'm going shut the hell up it's 5 in the morning!"
"Actually it's nearly 10 now and get some manners."
"Same thing! You don't know what you're talking about Michael. I have manners."
Adam yelled back at his best friend and fellow captain, Michael. "Wait nearly 10, doesn't the meeting start at 10."
"You only seem to have manners in front of Head Captain Yamamoto and in front of very pretty girls and yes the meeting starts at 10." Michael answered back as he dumped water on his best friend, "Let's go Captain Nine, or we'll be late for the meeting"
"I'm coming already, you're always nagging on me, you know that Michael. It's so not cool for the captain of the 3rd company." Adam calls back as he's throwing on his Haori over his shihakushÅ. "Being a captain can be so annoying sometimes"
"Yeah sure so annoying, you're always complaining Adam. It's only been a month since you became a captain and you're already bored. Besides that, you barely became a captain so stop. Personally, I think Renji would have been a better choice." Michael said as they hurried out of the 9th company's barracks.
"Shut up dude. You're probably right on the complaining part, I really hate paperwork. I still don't understand why you had to come all the way to my barracks and wake me up. Why couldn't you let me be late for the meeting" Adam told Michael as they turned the corner that led to the Assembly Area.
"You should be thanking me man. I could have let you be late and embarrass yourself in front of your fellow captains at your first meeting, but no I didn't do that I came and woke you up. You're so ungrateful sometimes. Most of the Captains haven't warmed up to you after the incident at the bar. You shouldn't have drunk so much. Not mention, you can't even control your Bankai either. You nearly killed the Captains when we were watching you perform it."
"Whatever" Adam mumbled as the door to the Assembly Area opened.
"Welcome Captains of the 3rd and 9th companies: Michael Hakaru and Adam Shikurai." Head Captain Yamamoto boomed as they entered the hall of the Assembly Area. "It's about time we got started."
Adam and Michael assumed their positions among the Captains. Michael went to stand across from Soifon and next to the new Captain of the 5th company, Ichigo Kurosaki, while Adam went and stood across from Captain Shunsui Kyoraku and in between Captains Sajin Komamura and Kenpachi Zaraki.
Everyone knew Ichigo would replace Aizen. It was a no-brainer to anyone who knew what he could do, Ichigo was completely capable and he had the ability to perform Bankai.
"It's time we put a stop to the attacks in the human world" Yamamoto explained, "The Arrancar have been attacking the Soul Reapers that have been stationed in the human world. We have lost three soul reapers so far and we won't lose anymore is that understood. This needs to stop now!"
"Boring" Adam whispered. He was uninterested in anything that didn't have to do with him fighting or girls. He was the former 4th seat of the 11th company before he became Captain. He loved to fight, just like the rest of the 11th company. It was an awkward transition for Adam, going to the 9th company. For only being there a month he had seen some action. The 9th company was responsible for patrols in the human world, but since he became they had the 1oth company do the patrols. Adam thought Yamamoto was trying to ease him into the Captain's position.
"Shut up, Shikurai and listen!" Captain Komamura scolded Adam. Komamura was one of the Captains who thought Adam didn't deserve to be a captain. He thought Adam was irresponsible and to "friendly".
"Here we go again" Ichigo said as he watched the two Captains bicker at each other.
"Why don't you shut up Sajin?" Adam retorted his voice rising "You wanna go fox man? Bring it on!"
"Adam just give it up already. It's not worth it." Michael called from down the line. Michael knew that when anyone tried to prove that Adam wasn't strong enough or didn't deserve something it was on.
"If Fox man wants to say something he should say it." Adam yelled back.
"Captain Shikurai, stand down immediately!" Head Captain Yamamoto ordered, "You're out of line."
"Sorry sir, forgive me sir." Adam apologized calming down quickly as he heard Head Captain's order. Yamamoto was probably the only person that scared Adam.
"Now let us continue, shall we?" Head Captain asked with a hint of authority hidden in the question.
"Yes sir" All the Captains answered in unison.
"This needs to end." Head Captain begins again, "We need to put an end to the attacks immediately and I believe this can best be achieved if we send a specialized team to do this. That is why I am sending Captain Kurosaki and a team of his choice to the human world to stop these attacks. Do you have any objections Captain Kurosaki?"
"No" Ichigo replied.
"Alright, who do you wish to take with you to the human world Captain?" Head Captain asked.
"I want to take Assistant Captain of the 5th company Rukia Kuchiki, Assistant Captain Renji Abarai of the 6th company. I would also like to take Captain of the 3rd company Michael Hakaru and the Captain of the 9th company Adam Shikurai if they wish to come."
"I'm in" Michael said happy at the thought of going to the human world. Michael had always wanted to go, but wasn't on the patrol squads.
All the other captains turned and looked at Adam wondering what his reaction would.
"What the hell, it could be fun" Adam replied with a smile on his face, "Plus you never know when you're going to meet a hot girl so I'm in."
"Alright then it's settled Captains Kurosaki, Hakaru, and Shikurai prepare to leave for the human world immediately. You are to exterminate the problem and return."
