Chapter 1: Re-establishment
"This is the start of my responsibility."
She humbly said these words in front of a sealed ruined area. On the centre of this ruined area lies a ruined castle-like structure. Around it are destroyed houses and barracks which seems to be two hundred years old already. The reason why the area was sealed is not known and everyone is forbidden to enter the place or even go near it. Only captains and vice-captains are allowed to enter the area with the supervision and approval of the general commander.
"Nee-sama, it's time to go."
The long haired violet and eyed woman tenederly stares at the ruined area. Then she put her sword on her waist, closed her eyes and started walking toward First Squad Headquarters.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the first squad, the captains and vice-captains are having little conversations. The agenda of this meeting sparks their curiousity and interest. At the entrance of Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryuusai, everyone was silenced and welcomed him majestically as he went to his post.
"Squads, I have made a personal decision to establish the special force squad, the fourteenth squad. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce to you the leaders of that squad."
The door opened and a violet haired and eyed woman wearing a haori and a smaller woman with long black hair entered. The taller woman has violet eyes with cold expression. She wears a black choker with a mysterious symbol on it. She also wears black arm guard. Her hakama was customized as a mini skirt. She wears a mid-thigh black socks and heeled slippers. She wears a hoari with a bloody red cloth underneath it. The smaller woman wears the standard shinigami uniform. She wears a badge with sakura insignia on it on her left arm. She has long black hair which is lowly tied and a layer of short hair seems to be covering the tail. Her black eyes cast innocence and kindness.
Everyone has their different reactions to the entrance of the two shinigami. Some received them with a warm smile, some were displeased, and some did not give a single care. When the two women approached the captain commander, they kneeled down on one knee and humbly present themselves to him.
"At this day, you are to be recognized as the captain and vice-captain of the newly established fourteenth squad. Your sole duty is to examine and develop the perished noble family's sacred spells. I will be expecting a lot from you Raine Ryuka-taichou and Airen Ryuka fuku-taichou. I am also giving you the authority to restart your noble bloodlines. I am expecting no failures from the both of you." Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryuusai declared firmly.
The two gracefully stood up gracely and faced the rest of the captains. The smaller woman examined each faces while the taller woman emitted an air of arrogance. Their aura casted a nostalgic air to the captains as their presence seems to be familiar with them.
"I believe that this meeting is over. Squads, work hard for Soul Society. Adjourn!"
As the two left the hall, the eighth captain and the thirteenth captain followed the two ladies as they made their way to their squad's office.
Raine proceeded to her chair and prepared the materials she need for her first duty – writing the purpose of the fourteenth squad. Airen welcomed the two captains and made them comfortable then proceeded to do her paperwork.
"Well then, finally you got what you wanted, Raine-taichou," the thirteenth squad broke the silence.
"This is just the beginning, Ukitake nii-san. I still have a long way to go… And please stop addressing me too formally. You can call me the way you used too," the violet haired stated.
"Same as before, Raine-chan. Focus as always," the eighth squad captain teased.
"I did not become a captain for nothing. This squad was established for something," Raine explained while beginning to write her first paperwork.
"If you need something just ask us. We'll do our best to guide you," the white-haired man said.
"Thank you nii-san!" the woman said with a smile then firmly ordered Airen, "Airen, gather our squad! Let us introduce to them the purpose of this squad!"
"Hai! Taichou!" the little girl said with a slight bow.
"Guess we have to leave now, Ukitake. Our little girls are eager to start their job," Kyoraku said teasing the captain.
The two girls left the office along with the two male captains who were proceeding to their respective offices. They went to the training ground and prepared to speak. The entire squad knelt before them.
"I am Raine Ryuka, your captain and here is my sister, Airen Ryuka, your vice-captain. As a member of this squad, let me clear our objective. We are established to study and develop the perished noble family's sacred spells, the Ryuka clan. We are built as a special force which will be used for war. As a member of the clan, it is my and my sister's duty to assure your safety. We will be examining your reiatsu to know your limits and to classify your skills. In addition to our job, I am also requiring you to protect and help the Rukongai area that was assigned to us, the darkstreet area. It is known to be the most notorious and poorest area. We will be developing that area at any means. We will be distributing the mission, vision and philosophy of our squad. We want you to understand it well and live it. Prepare yourself for the examination," the violet-haired captain firmly declared.
Raine turned to Airen and said, "Airen, look for possible candidates for the rest of the eighteen seats."
The black haired woman nod and began the examination.
"I want the two of you to closely observe the new squad. The leader of that squad will surely be useful in our plans. Make no traces of suspicion," a man said in a silent voice in a dark area of Seireitei.
The two other figures started to make their move as they hear the command.
