Prologue
I was sitting at my desk when Renji came into my office. No, he didn't entered like a normal person, he just practically kick my door and shouted so the entire building can hear that my boss wants me to come to his office. I sighed at the stupidness my childhood friend have and leave my office. I wanted to punch him in the head but I will be a pain in the ass until he buy me another door. Maybe one made of glass, who knows.
"Did you want to see me, Captain?" I asked him as soon as I entered his office. Jushiro Ukitake, my boss, my mentor and my buddy when it comes to smoke a cigarette on the roof of the building, was sitting in his chair with his back turned on me.
"Have a seat, Rukia." He said as he turned around. I noticed that his long and grey hair was now short, barely touching his shoulders. It suits him really well, but I liked the long one more. "I call you here to give a..." he paused probably finding his words. Was I being fired? "Well, some news." he finished as he rested his elbows on the table and smiled at me.
Well, he smile so that means I keep my job.
"I think you are ready for your first mission on the field."
My breath was caught in my throat. Was he being serious? I can finally get rid of that boring office, or closet as I like to call it because it is too small.
"The operation will be lead by Toshiro Hitsugaya, you know him Rukia."
Of course I know him. We used to date a few years ago. But we broke up because he decided to get back together with his childhood friend and love. Although I don't know if they are still together. We never spoke since then, only amical greetings in the hallway or elevator. But I hope he is happy.
"He will collect his team, of course. And I talked to him this morning to choose you. I know you are ready." he smiled at me.
This meant a lot to me. To know that the man who teached me from the very start believes in me. I couldn't help but smile so hard that my cheeks hurt and give him a hug. A very big hug.
"Thank you so much, Captain."
I could hear the smile in his voice as he returned the hug.
"I believe in you, Rukia. You're perfect for this mission."
I smiled, thanked him again and I leave his office. I couldn't believe that after five years in FBI "industry" I got my first real mission. All I did until now was to signed papers and bring coffee to others - detective or not. They all saw me as the "Kuchiki Princess", the little girl who used to hide behind his big brother when someone was looking angry at her. Though it was true but when I was six years old. Now I am a woman, I worked my ass off to get here and a few fights with my brother before the Academy, and I'm sure as hell that I deserve to be here.
Okay, this is my first fanfic here and it will be Ichiruki. I want to say that english it's my second language so of course it will be some misspellings or something will make no sense - I guess.
I accept critics as long as they're not rude. Please review, let me know if this is worth working on or not.
