The trees swayed as the wind blew off the leaves. It was fall, that much closer to winter. The days were getting shorter and yet longer for Matsumoto.

A stack of papers was practically dropped right in front of her. Hitsugaya then walked back to his seat and sat down.

"aaaaw," Matsumoto complained. "Why do you always give me so much paper work?"

"Because there is that much paperwork to be done. Beside its the only paperwork you'll do. I am looking for a third seat and I need you to choose someone."

"Ooh. I love doing this."

She went through the stack of papers looking at each individual. Most of them seemed boring and not even worth reading the entire bio. She was almost halfway through the stack when she saw the first girl in the stack of papers.

She was about the same height as her taichou and looked the same age too. The wheels started spinning in her head. She was a hyper kind of person who always loved a good laugh. It seemed that she might be able to loosen her taichou up.

She got up from her sofa and walked around to Hitsugaya's desk before slamming the paper in front of him. "There. Out of all the candidates, she is the one I think is perfect."

She took her zanpaktou out of its sheath and began to go into shikai. Her sword then changed into two tiger-like claws that wrapped around her hands as if custom fit. She then slashed the tree with as much spirtual pressure as she could. The blast lasted a good half-mile.

She ran along, counting her steps to see how far she had gone. "Dang it. Still a quarter mile short." She sheathed her zanpaktou as she noticed the spirtual pressure of someone behind her. She turned around but not before someone had their hands over her eyes. In a sing-song voice, she heard," Guess who?"
