Just like every other day, Ichigo walked through the Squad 11 barracks with his white haori receiving looks of utmost hatred from all his sub-ordinates. Yumichika even after being promoted to 3rd seat still held a grudge, in a desperate attempt to gain his approval he still allowed him to stay in the 11th squad after his true shikai was un-covered there was no such luck there. Kenpachi had challenged Ichigo the position of 11th squad captain being the prize. Ichigo never even had intentions of challenging the famed brawler yet he was still to blame for taking their beloved Zaraki Kenpachi away from them. Only two from his squad remained at ease with him, the two that understood their former captain the most, Madarame Ikkaku and Yachiru Kusajshi although the girl left the Gotei 13 it seemed her only reason for staying was Kenpachi, leaving the position of Vice-Captain for Ikkaku living with his new vowels to never become a captain until he became stronger than Ichigo, Kurosaki was just happy to have a friend in these parts of the Gotei.

"Captain.." Came a reluctant voice

Ichigo turned to see his 3rd seat holding a message. It seemed he didn't see fit to read the message instead he shoved the piece of paper into Ichigo's hands and stormed off. It really made Ichigo wonder how they could continue this attitude for 6 months without it getting old. Ichigo didn't let it bother him; he read the message and sighed.

He had been called to another meeting; they were holding a lot lately due to request from numerous captains all trying to continue an annoying argument. The captains were divided into two groups it seemed a few of the captains had been angered that the Shinigami had given up "The Old Ways" Ichigo predicted the soon to be arguments offered across the room.

"Soul Society was never about compassion for friends or love! It was about rules and doing things right!" A captain for the "Old Ways" would say

"But the new realisation of friendship and bonds has only strengthened the Shinigami!" would be the rebuttal from the "New Generation"

There was talk of a possible war amongst the Shinigami, it was only a matter of harsh words before a zanpaktou was drawn that was certain. But Ichigo was very sceptical on the idea of a war between squads and idealisms. Ichigo turned to head to the 1st Squad barracks, on his way out he placed a hand on Ikkaku's shoulder and told him to watch over things during his absence as usual he was granted the response.

"Yes, Captain"

Ichigo knocked on the large doors, placing his hands in his pockets he yawned and looked around. He still hadn't made up his mind whether he liked it here or the real world better. They both offered their own benefits, but Ichigo certainly liked the idea of always being in his robes and his zanpakutou on hand. In his unusual case he was allowed visitation rights to the material world in his "holidays" as granted by Captain-Commander Unohana, were Yammamato still alive Ichigo knew he may not even be a captain or if he was, he would most certainly be restricted to Soul Society.

The doors slowly forced open and Ichigo entered greeting the gatekeepers and officers he met along the way. He looked at all the captains in mid argument only few stopped to notice his entrance. Unohana gave him a pleasant smile and held out her hand to Ichigo's usual spot.

"Your placid ways are ridiculous Shunsui! You have no part in this debate" Barked an angry Soifon. Shunsui's rebutall was nothing more than a laugh.

"How can you allow this Captain-Commander!? Three vice-captains have been promoted to Captain Level. This substitute shinigami all of a sudden became a captain, all because of their friendships! It is not the correct way to run Soul Society!" Yelled the boy genius

"Hey! Are you calling us un-qualified you brat!?" Shouted Renji

"You must be this tall to be a captain" Taunted Ichigo as he held up his hand to his shoulder height

Laughter broke out from the Idealists; however this crack was most certainly not appreciated from the opposing side. Toshiro drew his katana and held it at Ichigo's neck

"Say it again! One more time you pathetic whelp!" Roared Hitsugaya

"Get off of me!" Yelled Ichigo as he batted the blade aside

"ENOUGH!" Boomed Byakuya, all eyes turned to him as he dismissed today's meeting. Unohana simply nodded confirming this order. All captains left the room, hot and bothered all but Ichigo's sub-ordinates were going to be begging their captains for the details.
