The Task at Hand


~ Rai's Pov ~

All the lieutenants of the Seireitei sat in my office sipping tea with me, well, they did. I, on the other hand drank some delicious mango juice from the World of the Living. The reason as to why all of us were here was because I decided that a "meeting" was in order. Which really meant all of us lieutenants hanging out and drinking tea before partying.

Nanao: Kurotsuchi, I've been meaning to ask you-

Me: *loud slurping* So yummy~!

Nanao: Anyway, if you could ask your captain if-

Me: *continues slurping louder* Kyaaa~!

Nanao: -if he would so kindly invent a sort of serum tha-

Me: *gets louder* God bless you, Ichigo!

Nanao: LIEUTENANT SHIKIMOURI, WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP DRINKING YOUR JUICE SO LOUD?

Me: Meep! Sorry, Nanao, you know how I get when I have sweets: I just don't give a damn.

Nanao: *groans* Can you at least stop until I am done talking to Kurotsuchi?

Me: Yeah.

Obeying Nanao's wishes, I listened quietly to my senior request from my best friend's daughter that he make a special serum that would get rid of Captain Kyoraku's hangovers. I looked at Yachiru, who was yanking on Chojiro's black moustache whilst sitting in the lap of Shuuhei Hisagi. Watching them gave me great joy seeing how adorable my comrade was.

Rangiku: Oi, Rai! Did you hear about how your fourth seat is going to become a captain?

Me: Yes, I've heard. And it's NOT happening, Ran.

Isane: Why not, Shikimouri?

Me: Because I will not allow it, Cedric Diggory has sworn his undying loyalty to me.

Izuru: That sounds very...selfish. *sweatdrop*

Me: Your face! Besides, he has disagreed with any and all gossip regarding that topic.

Yachiru: Why does Wizzy not wanna be a captain?

Renji: If you ask me, I think Rai just doesn't want to let her crush-

With that unfinished remark, I threw my empty juice pouch at him. Renji looked down to see what I threw at him.

Me: *dramatic kick* Bamp!

Renji: OWWWW!

Me: Shut it, dumbass! *blushes*

Everyone, not including Nemu, started to laugh at my display of aggression. There was no way in hell that I would ever have romantic feelings for my fourth seat. Not now, not ever. The lieutenant of Squad Four walked over to the now unconscious Renji and started checking his vitals. I walked over to the middle of the room to reach for another juice box. Someone tapped me on the shoulder while I started to twist the cap off.

Me: Ne ne, what do you want?

Nanao: Lieutenant, as Second-in-command of the Shinigami Women's Association, I need you to look over the activities we will be speaking about in our latter meetings.

Me: *whines* Why?...! Yachiru's the president and Captain Unohana is the supervisor, they're the ones who need ta look at that stuff.

Nemu: *pops up* Be that as it may, Lieutenant Iba is raising hellfire because of our recent fundraiser.

Me: What's Slim Shady [Tetsuzaemon] bitchin' 'bout now?

Tetsuzaemon: *jumps next to me* DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOU RIPPED OFF THE SHINIGAMI MEN'S ASSOCIATION'S IDEA OF RAISING MONEY BY MAKING A ZANPAKUTO SHARPENING STAND?

All:...

Me: *sips juice* No, but I DO know that you guys are tryin' to leave to the World of the Living to go to the beach.

Tetsuzaemon: Yeah, what of it, Shikimouri?

Me: *clears throat* Eh-hem. As the Second-in-command of the Shinigami Women's Association, it is my duty to inform you, the President of the opposing "team", that we are going to the beach.

Members: W-?

Tetsuzaemon: What do you mean, "We are going to the beach"?

Izuru: But Iba spoke to your captain about filing a request for a big leave of absence for all of us!

Shuuhei: Yeah, I even bought some swim trunks, so I wouldn't look so weird compared to a human wearing a loin cloth!

To prove his point, said Soul Reaper pulled a pair of dark purple swim trunks out of nowhere. Repeating his actions, the members present pulled out a variety of swimwear. The only one who had the oddest one was the lieutenant of the Second Division. Overweight and covered with bling, Marechiyo Omaeda held a far too small leopard print speedo. Trying to make sure the mental picture that would scar me from getting into my brain: I decided to speak before anyone questioned the swimsuits.

Me: You may have spoken to Jyuushiro about your leave of absence, but SoiFon spoke to the HEAD CAPTAIN just yesterday about us taking leave.

Tetsuzaemon: B-b-but that's not fair! *starts crying* Why do you get whatever you want? TToTT

Me: *sips juice* Mmm, delicious~!...What were you saying, Tetsu?

Male Members: SHE WASN'T EVEN LISTENING!

I started to giggle like crazy, not just because their reactions were hilarious, but Rangiku came up from behind me and start to tickle my sides. To make matters worse, Yachiru demanded that my best friend's daughter assist in tickling me. In the corner of my office, I saw Izuru and Shuuhei cheering each other up, and pulling out bottles of sake out of my desk.

Me: 'Ey, that's my sake!

Rangiku: Sake? I want some! *lets go*

Yachiru: Boobies ran off! Nemu, hold her down!

Doing as the pinkette said, Nemu managed to restrain me against the floor. Said young Soul Reaper sat on top of my chest. I have her a questionable look before turning into disgust when she forced a large string of saliva towards my face.

Me: *screams* YACHIRU, PUT IT BACK, PUT IT BACK!

Yachiru: *sucks it back up* Nope~! *starts drooling*

Me: NEMU, LEGGO, LEGGO, LEGGO!

The shoji doors to my office slide open. A bulky form came through the door, and stood right above me. Not able to recognize the face from my current angle, I started to whine.

?: Rai?

Me: Cedric? *regains composure* Cedric! Hey, you know you love me, right?

Cedric: Yes, what's this about because I have import-

Me: Get Yachi off of me and Nemu, too!

Cedric: O-kay. Umm, Lieutenants...

Yachiru/Nemu: :I

Cedric: Would you please leave my lieutenant alone?

Yachiru:... No~!

Nemu: Kusajishi said no.

Cedric: *sighs* Alright, I was saving this for a rainy day, but *pulls out chocolate bar* Lieutenant Kusajishi, I have some candy. *waves it in front of her*

Yachiru: *widens eyes* Can I have it, Wizzy?

Cedric: Maybe, if you release Rai.

Yachiru's inner self was struggling with the idea of giving me up. It took her about seven seconds to hop off my abused breasts and into the unexpected arms of my fourth seat. He carried her for a brief second before she slid from between his arms and onto the tatami mat underneath her feet.

Yachiru: Thanks, Wizzy! *leaves*

Renji: Well if Kusajishi is leavin', then I'm heading out, too. Later.

Nanao: It seems that our "meeting" is over, have a nice day, Shikimouri.

Me: You, too.

With three people already out the door, the rest of the lieutenants left my office after saying their goodbyes. I bent down on my knees to pick up the left over trash and cups. Chip bags, cookie crumbs, juice pouches, tea cups, and a lone sake bottle were on my floor. Comfortable with it just being the two of us, Cedric copied my actions and helped clean up.

Me: What is it?

Cedric: *stops* Beg your pardon?

Me: When you came here, you said you had something important to say.

Cedric: Yes, as a matter of fact I have something very important to tell you.

Me: Well hurry up, I have to go to the twelfth division to visit Mayu-Mayu for my *air quotes* check up *air quotes*.

Cedric: Alright, I was walking in the first division after delivering that parchment that you gave me when I bumped into Head Captain Yamamoto.

Me: What happened?

Cedric: Nothing serious, Rai. He just wanted me to tell you that you and I are to go to the first division.

Me: What for?

Cedric: To speak of a mission, all Captains and Lieutenants will be there, too.

Me: Do you know what the mission is about?

Cedric: Only that we will be going to the World of the Living.

I let out a obvious whine and sank to the floor after throwing away the garbage. I hate going to the World of the Living. It's changed since I was fifteen. Sure I still remember what it was like to be a lively fifteen, but I'm just so disconnected. It's been years since the 70s, back when I was still considered human and not what I am. So far, I've managed to only go on three missions there. And they all revolved around talking to Kisuke Urahara or getting a Hollow update from Ichigo. The World of the Living is a horrible place from I remember...or what I can remember.


Genryusai: Is the Captain and Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division present?

Jyuushiro: Yes, Head Captain.

Genryusai: And what about the fourth seat?

Cedric: I am present, sir.

Genryusai: Now that role has been taken, this meeting may begin.

Retsu: Excuse me, but from what my eighth seat told me, this meeting has to do with an upcoming mission. One that is of high importance and will require the skill of a captain or a lieutenant.

Chojiro: That is correct.

Izuru: Wait, but then why is Cedric Diggory, a fourth seat, here?

Genryusai: All with be explained momentarily. The first thing I would like to discuss is to whom do all of you assume is the most average looking adolescences in this very room?

Mayuri: There is no assumption, this sort of guessing can be verified by the appearance of each Soul in this room.

Kenpachi: With that said it's obvious it would be the lieutenants of the fifth, sixth, tenth, and thirteenth. *looks at Cedric* Oh, and the fourth seat punk over there.

Yachiru: Kenny, Wizzy isn't a punk, he gives me candy!

Me: True, Captain Zaraki, but Yamamoto asked the most normal looking.

SoiFon: Which would be Diggory, Hinamori, and you, Shikimouri.

Rangiku: Ehhhhh? Why aren't I classified as normal?

Me: It's probably because you're far more well endowed than most girls.

Wanting to make sure I wasn't bluffing, she grabbed at her chest with her much smaller hands. Each breast gave off a jiggle when she pushed them up with both hands. With a sigh, Rangiku realized I was right and stopped her ministrations on her chest that was giving Izuru a nosebleed.

Momo: Umm, what is this poll about, sir?

Genryusai: To answer your question, there is a school in the World of the Living that teaches people like Diggory.

Me: Pigmoles, right?

Cedric: Close, but no cigar. The school is Hogwarts for young Wizards and Witches.

Genryusai: Recently, there has been a large mass of hollow activity in the world that Wizards live in. Before only a few hollows, weak ones, walked roamed the area. Three days ago, the Soul Reaper in charge of slaying hollows in the area was killed by a Menos Grande-

Toshiro: A Menos in the World of the Living? That's certainly a rare occurrence.

Genryusai: My point exactly. I have contacted the Head of the school in the Magical World-

Me: Hold it, sir. There's a normal world and then there's a magical world?

Cedric: Yes, Lieutenant. I was born in the magical one.

Me: Okay.

Genryusai: The Headmaster at Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, has informed me that he believes that the reason why a Menos appeared is because a great evil has been reborn.

Cedric, who was standing erect right next to me, jumped up suddenly. I looked into his eyes to see understanding like he knew what Genryusai was talking about.

Me: Cedric...?

Cedric: *gulps* You're talking about Lord Voldemort, right?

Genryusai: Correct, Diggory. Tom Riddle also known as Voldemort is planning on killing all human born magical people and humans alike.

Sajin: That would be complete genocide, what is this Wizard's reason for wanting to kill them all?

Cedric: He believes that mugg- I mean humans are a waste of skin and they are inferior to us, yet we hide from them. Those who have two non magical parents are what we call "mudbloods", or dirty blood. Those who have non magical parents are looked down upon and treated like dirt by "purebloods".

Shunsui: What's a pureblood?

Cedric: Someone who's family is completely Wizards and Witches of pureblood. Purebloods are usually stuck up, arrogant, and rich. They all care about getting married to others who are pureblooded, so that they appear "clean". There are also halfbloods, like me, who have one magical and a non magical parent.

Me: Oi, Cedric. What if you have a pureblood and a halfblood, what will their kid be considered?

Cedric: A halfblood. People don't mind halfbloods, but they still have muggle heritage.

Genryusai: Which brings me to inform all of you of the mission two certain Soul Reapers will go on whether they like it or not.

Me: And who might that be? (Please, not me!)

Chojiro: That would be you and Cedric Diggory.

Me: Huh? B-but I don't have a lot of experience in the Human World! Let Momo take my place!

Marechiyo: Quite bitchin', Shikimouri. The way I see it, you and the fourth seat next to ya are perfect for this mission.

Me: How so, fatass?

Marechiyo: You two are Higher rank and subordinate in the same Squad. It only makes sense that the Head Captain would put you two together because naturally you guys will work well together.

Mayuri: And if you think about it, Lieutenant Shikimouri. Cedric Diggory is a Wizard familiar with the Magical world, he will make sure you don't get in trouble.

Jyuushiro: W-what will my two officers be doing on this mission?

Genryusai: Your lieutenant and fourth seat will be attending Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry, defeat hollows of all kind, and get rid of Lord Voldemort with the help of a halfblood named Harry Potter.

Me: But I'm not a Witch! I can't possibly ruin the mission by not having any magical powers!

Mayuri: Not to worry, Shikimouri~! Head Captain asked me to invent a special accessory for you to wear that would contain some of Cedric Diggory's powers, so you could use them as your own.

Me: *growls* .so..

Genryusai: Do not think you have a say in the matter, Lieutenant. For this mission to be successful two Souls must have startling loyalty and more than stable trust.

Cedric: And that would be Rai and I.

Tetsuzaemon: Seems so.

I thought over all my options, well, the few that I had. One, I could insist that Momo take my place. Two, destroy the special magic thing the mad scientist of the Seireitei invented without my knowledge. Three, take the position of a Captain, so I will be taken out of the race. Or four, super adorable cuteness beam...four, definitely.

Me: Nyeh~! Rai-wai dun don't wanna go ta de World of de Wiving. Rai-wai jus' wanna stay wit my fwiends. *eyes tear up* Pwease..?

Genryusai: Lieutenant Rai Shikimouri, unless you want to be stripped of your position I strongly suggest that you agree to be-

With gray eyes filled with sympathy, my fourth seat cleared his throat loudly to be heard over the chatter. What he had said made me too shocked for words.

Cedric: Excuse me, Head Captain. If I may, I don't require the assistance of Rai to fulfill the task at hand.

SoiFon: Is that so? Well then perhaps Shikimouri no longer needs to even fill in the role as lieutenant.

Me: NO!

A immense growl ripped through my throat like a tornado. Cedric, whom I have only known for at least eight months, is willing to be by himself, the only one who knows a little secret of the world beyond death, take on this Lord Voldemort guy.

Me: As Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division, it is my job to take full responsibility for any and all missions thrown at my subordinates and myself. If it has to be done, then fine. I will become a witch and stand side by side of Cedric and fight against stoppable evil.

The room fell silent as the only Wizard present looked at me with mouth opened ajar. My captain put his large hand on my shoulder, and gave me a disapproving look. Why in the thirteen squads would he look at me like that? Ignoring the brown eyes looking down at me, I searched the room for anyone looking at me with shock or smugness. The Captain of Squad Eleven gave me a big, toothy grin. He let out a hearty chuckle from his chest, he must have registered that I would be going back to school. When his long time companion asked what he was laughing at, he whispered into her ear before she literally fell off his shoulder laughing.

Genryusai: It is settled then, five days before Harry Potter and his friends return to school, Rai Shikimouri and Cedric Diggory of Squad Thirteen will become students of Hogwarts and defeat Tom Riddle Jr.

I let a huge sigh escape my lips, but sucked in the air when I felt a hand begin to hold my own. Looking to my left, the halfblood held my hand in his, squeezing it for reassurance.

Me: Thanks.
