Chapter one: Introduction! The Black Death
"And as of the latest issues," Captain-Commander's Yamamoto's voice echoed around the silent hall of the first division. His always closed eyes opened and he stared at the other captains and lieutenants, his gaze was serious and heavy. Almost bothering in a way, as if he was just looking for the next person to be executed. "Aizen was imprisoned safely, far away from both Soul Society and Hueco-Mundo. His defeat does not mean, however, that we are to behave lightly. Rules must be followed and punishments will be as strict as ever. Order must return to the Gotei 13."
"What about the empty Captain positions in the divisions 5 and 3?" asked Kyoraku's bored voice.
"The fifth Captain is, as you should know, Kurosaki Ichigo." Said the Captain-Commander, his tone was somewhat tired; "he is not present here because he is now learning kido."
Matsumoto almost laughed, "This is something I've to see! No way he's worse than Renji!"
"Hey!" barked the redheaded shinigami.
"Silence!" ordered the Captain-Commander, "As of the third division, I have found a proper substitute and…"
He was cut off by a knock on the door.
"Enter."
The big double door opened slowly and a tall figure walked in.
Her dark plum colored hair reached her elbows, tied into a high ponytail. Her bangs fell to the side, framing her face.
Her long and a bit narrow eyes were purple. Radioactive-like purple. Her skin was pale and smooth, turning pale pink at her round, cherry formed mouth.
She was well figured and wore her shinigami uniform without any special ads, only that the white belt was traded for a black one. The third division's white haori already hang on the young girls back. She tied it at the front of her robes, so that it could not fall off.
Her zanpakuto, a long sword with a weirdly embroidered handle, hung on her back upside down, weird but understandable.
The girl's ears were pierced and she wore a long and clawed ring on the middle finger of her left hand.
She walked into the room, holding her back straight and stopped right in front of the Captain-Commander. She bowed down gracefully and then turned to face them.
The Captain-Commander stood up and moved to stand beside the oddly beautiful girl, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"This is the new captain of the third division, Yamamoto Nadeshiko from the Zero division."
"Zero?" Ukitake's voice was shocked.
"No way! She's too young! Only the strongest captains can get there!" called Renji.
The girl turned to look at him and her eyes narrowed. Suddenly Renji fell down to his knees, his eyes wide open, and then they felt what he did before them.
An immensely heavy reiatsu surrounded them. It was so thick, so real they could practically touch it.
"Nadeshiko." Warned the Captain-Commander and the reiatsu vanished.
"Is there anyone else that'll like to complain about my arrival?" the girl's voice was rather low and even a little sinister. But it was pleasant to hear. "'Cause if there is such a person I'll gladly kick him in the face and shut him, or her, up. Permanently."
"Nadeshiko!" this time the Captain-Commander almost shouted.
"I apologize, grandfather." She said impatiently but sincerely.
Nadeshiko moved to stand in front of Kira and moved her hand to him, palm up. "Hand your vice-captain badge over. You're fired fourth seat now."
"Eh?"
Nadeshiko's eye twitched, "Are you mentally challenged? Hand it over, I'm replacing you. Grimmjow! Nelliel! Get in here."
The two ex-espadas appeared behind the tall and a bit arrogant girl. Their masks were gone. They were completely shinigami now.
Nadeshiko snatched the vice-captain badge away from Kira and handed it to the green haired woman. "Grimmjow you're vice-captain, Nelliel third seat. Third seat and fourth seat get the heck out of here; this meeting is for Captains and vice-captains only."
"Understood!" Nelliel almost pushed Kira out of the room and closed the door behind them.
"Good, good." The Captain-Commander nodded, "then I'll be expecting a full report on your opinion about your new division, Nadeshiko. You have a week to analyze everything and report back. Other than that – do as you wish. That is all."
The minute the Captain-Commander walked out, Grimmjow exploded.
"What the heck is that badge?" he growled, "I don't get it at all!"
"Just tie it somewhere already, you're pissin' me off." Nadeshiko waved her hand carelessly.
Grimmjow tied it around his neck.
"Oh!" Nadeshiko clapped her hands, "see? Now I can also shove it in that wonderful mouth of yours to keep you quiet!"
"Die."
Nadeshiko's fast slap sent Grimmjow flying through the wall. Then he was suddenly thrown to the ground, right before her feet, but they didn't see her move.
Nadeshiko loosened her collar, making a deeper cleavage, and ran her hands through her now released hair. The minute the Captain-Commander was out of sight something about her changed. She became dangerous, wild and completely captivating.
As if some kind of a leash has been released.
Nadeshiko smirked, "If you want me to die you'll have to kill me. The you right now can't even lay a hand on me." She grabbed his hair and pulled him up, "train, learn and become strong. So that one day you will be worthy of being my vice-captain."
Grimmjow glared at her and slapped her hand away from him. "Should've remained dead."
Nadeshiko shrugged, "Not my problem. Go analyze the division. I want a full report tomorrow morning."
Grimmjow turned around and vanished.
"Hmm…" Matsumoto walked forward and placed her hand on Nadeshiko's head. "You're a violent one aren't you Nade-chan?"
Much to their surprise Nadeshiko smiled, "And you're a lazy one, aren't you Ran-chan?"
"Aw! Give me a hug, I missed you!"
Nadeshiko seemed immune to Matsumoto's huge breasts crushing into her face. Mainly because Matsumoto was the same height as her.
"Ne, Ran-chan. Did they grow?"
"What do you mean?"
Nadeshiko pocked Matsumoto's left breast with her long index finger. "It's a lot heavier than before!"
"Well naturally!" Matsumoto smiled proudly, "you changed too though. You were so small and plain back then! Now you're like a mini-playgirl."
"Mini?" Nadeshiko raised her eyebrows, "mini-playgirl? I'm the playgirl! Don't insult me in such lowly manners you big-breasted woman!"
"Hmm, do I smell pervert?" teased Matsumoto.
Nadeshiko smirked, "Oh yes, definitely."
"Heh!" Matsumoto finally released the new captain and then titled her head. "But you know? I kinda thought Nade-chan will be like a miniature of her grandfather."
"Eh?" Nadeshiko paled and started panicking, "what? Like bald and covered with scars? EEW! Ran-chan that's just plain mean!"
"No, I meant coldhearted and humorless."
"Oh." Nadeshiko sighed with relief, "well that depends on the situation. I can be both. I'm the ultimate weapon after all. The Black Death."
"Yeah I heard of that," Matsumoto sighed, "but isn't Sendo really spoiled? I mean I remember she gave you hell with the shikai!"
"Yeah, she said I wasn't strong enough and blah, blah, blah." Nadeshiko shrugged, "after I've joined the Gotei 13 it's been less than one decade and I was already kicked into the royal guard. I've never used shikai since I've obtained it. There was no need – I kill just fine without even unleashing my sword. But Sendo became proud and so she let me achieve bankai. But she won't let me use it because she says I am yet to be as bloodthirsty as her." Nadeshiko's eyebrow twisted, "I freaking tortured one thousand people to death because I was bored, how am I not bloodthirsty enough god damn it? I want my bankai! I want mass massacres organized by me in Hueco Mundo. I want death darn it!"
"You… should've been born a hollow." Said Matsumoto seriously.
"Huh?" Nadeshiko made a face. "No! Hollows are disgusting. They are stupid, soulless and cannot wield a zanpakuto. If I cannot have my Sendo then I'd rather die." She smiled a little, "that was how I died in the first place. Sendo was calling for me, even when I was still alive. That's why his highness really hated having me leaving his guard. He believes that only the strongest ones should protect him – I believe he should lift his ass and protect himself. Sendo thinks he should die."
"No offence but Sendo-chan believes everyone should die." Matsumoto sweat-dropped, if that's even a word. Well it is now.
"Hello? Black Death, remember?" Nadeshiko sighed heavily, "but honestly Sendo's been awfully quiet lately. Maybe she's planning something."
"Who knows?" Matsumoto grinned, "Anyway! Since it's your first day in the new Gotei 13, I, Matsumoto Rangiku – fukutaicho of the tenth division will show you around!"
"What about your work…?"
"No time to talk; let's go, go, go!"
The door remained open after Matsumoto flew out, dragging the speechless Nadeshiko behind her.
"I think Rangiku-san… just used Yamamoto-taicho as an excuse to slack off." Said Rukia slowly.
"I think… she'll be slacking off a lot from now on." Agreed Nanao in a shaken voice.
All eyes turned to look at the suddenly frozen corner of the room, where a certain white haired taicho glared murderously.
Even though Hitsugaya Toshiro was now taller than Matsumoto, even though he was finally a grown up physically and not just mentally, that annoying woman refused to obey. So, for the first time in a while, he agreed with his zanpakuto and decided to teach her a lesson. But tradition comes first, right?
"MATSUMOTO!"
Toshiro folded his finished paperwork neatly when suddenly the door to his office was kicked off violently, and Nadeshiko marched in – holding a passed out Matsumoto on her back.
"This belongs to you!" she panted angrily and threw Matsumoto onto the sofa. Matsumoto only moaned and continued to sleep. "I don't know what kind of a squad you have taicho, but with her as your fukutaicho – "Nadeshiko put her hand on his shoulder, "I pity you! Sincerely!"
"Nade-chan drink your sake!" screamed Matsumoto and then mumbled something unclear.
Nadeshiko seemed horrified, "I was not prepared for this! I thought the royal guard was a mess but the Gotei 13 is by far worse!"
"Welcome to hell." Hitsugaya stood up and walked over to the sofa, glancing at Matsumoto. He instantly leaped away. "She stinks like a corpse! What were you doing?"
"She dragged me around Rokugenkai, which was awesome. But then we ran into a few shinigami… Ikakku, Shuhei and Yumichika I think?" Nadeshiko sighed heavily, "and they wanted to go drink. And I, forgetting its Ran-chan next to me, said yes. After she drained god knows how many bottles and the guys were passed out, she jumped into a pool of mud. I dragged her out only to watch as she ran away and got into various, and absolutely delusional, places around the town."
Toshiro's mouth twitched, "you… jumped onto a pool of mud?"
"Almost! But then I saw those few men around so they jumped instead of me." Nadeshiko shrugged, "but I did have to drag her out of a dumpster or whatever that was… I swear something got into my bra."
"Wow." Toshiro offered her a cup of tea, "that's… worse than what she did before."
"I know! I was mentally prepared to be dragged into some sort of a strip club or something but to run around half Soul Society? And Grimmjow's going to kill me for leaving him alone to manage the division. As if Nelliel would help, she's to excited to be here to give a damn about paperwork!" suddenly Nadeshiko paled, "oh my god paperwork! That Kira did a horrible job with it. I have ten thousand papers needing arrangement… I think my head hurts."
Toshiro snorted, "You'll get used to it. Want some aspirin?"
"Yes, please! Tomorrow I'll order a huge package of those instant-silence painkillers."
"You take those too?"
"Are you serious?" Nadeshiko's expression turned into a worshiping one, "that's what saved me in that awful zero-squad! It's like heaven in one sip."
"I know!" Toshiro stared at her with amazement. He didn't think this rush, and arrogant appearing girl will understand his love for the rare painkillers. "But it's nearly impossible to get nowadays."
"Huh, I can get my hands on everything. Want me to get you one too?"
"Will you do that?"
"Hey," Nadeshiko smiled, "Hitsugaya-taicho you are stuck with Ran-chan everyday. You need it more than others."
Matsumoto started speaking in her sleep now. And she was saying odd things.
"Ne d'you know neko? My taicho is so innocent! It's like being the right hand of a child… you're so pervy neko!"
Nadeshiko started laughing into her cup while Toshiro turned red.
"That girl… I can't believe it!"
"And you know, Nade-chan's so different! And she's no fun… that's not nice neko, Nade-chan will look great in leather underwear!"
Nadeshiko spat her tea out and Toshiro laughed darkly. Revenge is always sweet.
"She's pushing it…" Nadeshiko stood up, "well I'd better head to my division. Good luck babysitting this overly developed lady!"
Toshiro didn't miss the amusement in her voice.
"Well, at least she's not a hysterical ex-hollow." He answered in the same tone.
Nadeshiko smiled, "You're good. I hope we'll get along, for Ran-chan's sake. G'night."
"So? Did ya' like it? Hope so =]
R&R everyone ^^
