Yo! I'm Yzz, and I'm pretty much a newb on I've been writing Fan-Fiction for 3 years, but I've never dared to post on here, because of the reputation it has. I have finally got up enough courage to post a story here, so please don't be too harsh ' Gomen for any typos... I'm working hard on my spelling and grammar, and I proofread, too! Constructive criticism, advice, pointers, etc. are very much welcomed!

Enjoy!

"Soi-sama!" Hikari Ukaidou knelt down in front of Soifon, making her even shorter than her captain. Soifon reported for her to see her and Hikari hoped that she had something important to tell her.

"Hikari-chan, I'm glad to inform you that you have been promoted to the third seat," Soifon smiled at her subordinate. Hikari's eyes widened in delighted surprise.

"SOI-SAMA!" the young girl cried and pulled her captain into a huge hug of gratefulness. "You will not be sorry, taichou! I will be the best third seat you've ever had!" The captain of the second squad smirked, "I'm sure of it."

Hikari quickly stood up and with one slight bow to her captain, she left her office to go spread her joyfulness.

Hikari, you've gone so far yet you've barely changed since when I first met you... You were, and still are, such a troublesome kid.

Flashback

A young Hikari stood in the forest training with her Zanpakuto, and little did she know, a curious captain was watching her from a distance. Hikari had recently entered the Academy to become a Shinagami. She had always been a slacker and didn't focus much on her work, but she always trained. She was strong, too, with plenty of potential to become a powerful Shinagami. Soifon wanted her for her squad. She has seen some of her techniques before. This isn't the first time she spied on her. The first time was when Soifon was making her way to the Academy to check out the recently graduated Shinagami, and as she took a short-cut through the forest, she noticed a young girl mastering her Shikai.

"Soar into the sky, Kaze!" Hikari announced, her Zanpaktou growing another blade from under the holder. Wind erupted around the girl and the blades. She swiftly spun the sword and struck a fighting stance. She gracefully moved around striking her Zanpaktou in the air. Everytime she made a movement, wind would blow from around her. Hikari struck a tree with one blade, causing a mark, and the other, creating strong winds and blowing the tree down.

"Oi, who are you?" Soifon finally revealed herself to the young girl who she often watched.

Hikari released herself from her Shikai and, ignorant to giving respect to captains, shot her a look. "Who are you? And why were you watching me?" Hikari placed her hands on her hips and glared at her.

Soifon smirked at her attitude, "I am Soifon, captain of the 2nd squad of the Gotei 13. Now who are you?"

The young girl, still not satisfied, turned her head away in a rude manner. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because you have great power, and I was hoping of seeing you in my squad someday." Soifon gave a light smile to Hikari. She turned her face back towards Soifon, her eyes wide with delighted surprise. "Really?"

"Hai," Soi nodded.

Hikari stared at the captain. "No one has ever expected anything of me... Matte! Are you sure you want me on your squad? I have quite the reputation of being sneaky and rude, laid back, troublesome-"

Soifon put a hand up to signal her to stop. "That doesn't matter. You obviously have much power but find the Academy too boring, ne?" Hikari nodded. "Well, how about I train you?" More shock rose in Hikari's body. "I can pull a few strings to have you graduate early, as well. You deserve it, but I guess others don't think so. So how about it, huh what's wrong?"

Hikari's head was lowered and she was sniffing. "It's just..." she rose her head and tears were streaming down her cheeks, "You're the first person to actually believe in me. Arigatou, Soi-sama."

End flashback

I gotta go tell Shiro-baka! He thinks that I'll never become a fukutaichou with my attitude. Pssh, what does he know!?

Hikari sprinted through Seretei heading towards the 10th Squad's Captain's office. She finally reached it and pulled the door open. "SHIROOO-BAKAAA!" she called in the room.

The short, white-haired captain sat at his desk, looking annoyed at Hikari's entrance. "For the last damn time, Hikari, it's Hitsugaya-taichou!"

"Yeah, yeah, Shiro-baka," she waved a hand at him, "But guess what, guess what!" Hikari ran up to his desk filled with enjoyment.

"Nani?" Toshiro Hitsugaya asked, obviously

"I'm now in the 3rd seat! Co-captain, here I come!" she shouted.

Toshiro raised an eyebrow at her. He's known Hikari since they were in the Academy, but she had always annoyed him. She was always so relaxed and never tried in the Academy, yet she manged to graduate the same time that he did. Throughout their entire time at the Academy, Hikari always told him to be more laid back and to not be so tense, and at the same time Toshiro told her that she needed to focus more if she wanted to amount to anything.

"Why do you always need to run to me everytime you move up a rank?"

"To prove you wrong, of course!" Hikari grinned, "When I become the fukutaichou of the 2nd Squad, I'll have you proved you SO wrong!"

"Fukutaichou?" Toshiro asked in confusion.

"I'd never want to take taichou's place! And by being her fukutaichou, I'll be serving directly under Soi-sama!" Hikari explained with excitement in her voice.

"But she already trains you. How much more time do you want to spend with her?" Toshiro asked, almost mocking her somewhat obsession with her captain.

"Soi-sama is a highly respected captain and to be that close to her would be an honor!" Hikari announced.

Toshiro scolded. "What about me!? You never show me any respect."

"Aw, Shrio-baka, don't worry! You're still my favorite short, white-haired captain!" Hikari jumped on him and gave him a huge hug, similar to the one she had given Soifon. These 'glomps' were simply how she showed affection, though not many realized that, seeing how most thought they were annoying, and sometimes painful. Including Toshiro.

Hikari tackled Toshiro to the ground and lay on him, her arms almost strangling him around his neck. Soon, she released him and sat up on him and stared at him with a smile. Toshiro smirked up at her. After a moment silently went by, Toshiro spoke. "Uh, Hikari, can you get off of me."

Hikari put her hands up to her cheeks to hide a blush and shyly got up. "Heh, gomen, Shiro! Well, I got to go. Ja!"

Toshiro put up a hand to bid goodbye. He looked at her as she disappeared from his office. Was she blushing? He quickly shook the thought from his mind. He and Hikari have always been picking fun at eachother in a friendly way, but that's all they were. Friends.

Toshiro sighed and sat back at his desk.

Hikari was racing away from the 10th squad area, the same thought racing through her mind. I was not blushing. I was not blushing. I was not blushing. She would never have feelings for Toshiro, obviously. They've been making fun of eachother's personalities since the Academy. They were just friends. Simply friends.

Hikari sighed as she reached Nemu's living quarters.
