Elle: Hello, I'm back with an original story, yay! Just a few notes, major appearances by all six of my OCs, and also, Risa the narrator refers to the Gotei-13 as G-13 and each company is referred to as D-company number. So here you go…and enjoy!

Chapter One: Mark the Mission

Silence, the Seireitei was full of it; hence the name "quiet spirit corner" and it was as nerve-wracking as it was reassuring. Reassuring because it meant that nothing was attacking us, most of the time and nerve wracking because Captain Soi Fon of D-2 had her stealth force out and Captain Kuchiki of D-6 was skulking about somewhere.

Today the silence was unnatural, hushed and above all heavy. The last time the heaviness played on my nerves like this, the chain of events that followed is one I'd rather not talk about.

Another thing that bothered me was that I walked alone, making myself an open target. But I was a captain; even still it made me uneasy. Though I would never admit it to either of them, I felt safer with my lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi or San Seki Marcus Flint with me.

Feeling slightly uneasy I headed back to my office in hopes that Marcus or Shuhei would be there.

What am I thinking? I thought. I knew both of them were playing volleyball for the school we were pretending to attend while the entire arrancar/Bount mess was sorted out, and by that nowhere near the Seireitei.

It was empty and quiet, with my luck these two factors would multiply into casualties quickly. It was annoying, really annoying because as a captain I was usually called onto the front lines. I bit my lip.

With the mistakes made during the Rukia Kuchiki fiasco I hoped Yamamoto had cleaned up the act and with that making it a priority to tell a captain when their subordinates were incapacitated. Because it pissed me off last time when a member of D-13 was injured and it went through two and a half companies and I found out before Jushiro and I was the lieutenant at the time.

But that was all before I started dating Ichigo Kurosaki causing the entire Gotei-13 to start talking and it took forever to shut them up. Mainly because so many people thought I could do better than a substitute soul reaper. Why should a captain settle for anything lower than lieutenant?

Emmett Cullen had the answer. Sort of.

To Emmett everything was the birds and the bees with my vampire friend.

"What it all boils down to Risa," he had said. "Is who has more umph, get me?"

The conversation promptly ended there.

My travels had taken me around the barracks twice and I ended up by D-6. If Byakuya-sama was in his office I could bother him to stop the uneasy feeling that was overwhelming me.

His office door was solid oak with a shiny bronze plaque that read "Captain Kuchiki, Division Six" Under than his San Seki, my best friend Jennifer Bletchley had taped a sheet of white lined paper that read: "Petition: all in favor of Kicking Yamamoto out of office and replacing him with Kuchiki-taichou" and the signatures belonging to Jen, our friend Jake Emmerson (D-3 captain). This was one of several of Jen's spur-of the moment ideas. I had to admit that this one seemed pretty logical. Personally I'd rather have Byakuya as head captain than old man Yamamoto. We'd probably get stuff done. Plus if he does that, I move to D-6 and get my number back. (Seat one division six=16, right now I'm 19). I'll put a sign on my door, as long as Jen stays far away from sharp objects we're good.

Getting back on subject I opened the door not bothering to knock because I knew it was pointless.

"Captain Uchimani," he greeted me curtly. He was sitting at his desk doing paper work like a good captain. (I paid off the unseated officers in my Division to do mine)

"Kuchiki-taichou," I greeted promptly sitting down on his couch.

"It's been quiet," he said, "with Hisagi and Abarai in the world of the living. Are they back?"

"Negative," my answer was curt.

"Kurosaki?"

"No idea, kid does what he wants."

"If he's your yon seki I'd think you'd have some control over the boy."

"Yeah, how much control do I have over Flint again? Or you Bletchley?" I said. Byakuya was always questioning my abilities as a Captain.

"That doesn't matter much, what happens between me and my men is as you're your business as what happens between you and your men is mine."

"Um," damn he got me. There were to methods of dealing with Byakuya when he started to get vague, method A the Renji where you are a kiss-ass and method B the Jen where you are a smart ass. Obviously I went with the latter.

"You seem rather talkative today taichou," I said. "Wanna go see if Kenny wants to hold conversation?"

"That's irrelevant," Byakuya said filing through papers and just not caring. I was annoyed now and my mission became to annoy him as much.

"This is not irrelevant!" I yelled. "Pigs flying is irrelevant!"

I knew I had annoyed him and I promptly ran out of the office to avoid being ripped into a million pieces by Senbon Zakura.

I shuddered, imaging trying to explain that one to Amy.

Once again I was outside in the quiet and I felt uneasy. My pager went off at that moment and I looked at the message.

"Of all times to be doing this," I hissed. Of course Yamamoto wanted a Captain's meeting. They always seemed to occur whenever I didn't want to go to them…then again, when did I ever?

Now that I had a purpose to be out I headed toward the First Division Barrack to put up with my fellow Captains being all annoying.

I was the first one there, besides Yamamoto, who I think has only left his chair twice in his life. There was nothing else to do but mill around and wait for Division Ten Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya or Division Three Captain Jake Emmerson to show up. I could kill an hour talking about volleyball with the two of them.

Next to come was Soi Fon and she was not happy at all. There's something to be said about being a girl, I could tell at once what was bothering her. None of the other Captains that filed in seemed remotely happy about being here.

Once all thirteen of us had arrived I waited between Komamura and Kenpachi, waiting for Yamamoto to give us a topic, so we could watch Jake and Byakuya battle it out from their posts.

The biggest miracle of all happened during today's meeting…Yamamoto actually got out of his chair to address us. It was only fair because it was him who had ordered us to stand in two straight rows, odd captains on one side, evens on the other. Poor Toshiro had to stand next to Kurotsuchi and I pitied the boy.

"Everyone," Yamamoto announced. "I have an announcement."

Like we didn't figure that out?

"Aizen is planning an attack on a town called Forks in the state of Washington," Yamamoto droned. I was actually paying attention, I knew people that lived in Forks.

"I have decided to post several men there, posing as various people from students to adults to keep watch, remember this is Aizen so keep your guard up."

I was rocking on the balls of my feet; I wanted to shotty this mission so bad. I hadn't seen my friends in a while, even though I was nearly two hundred years old, I looked seventeen and could easily pull off being a student. It was my specialty, I had done it at a boarding school in England and it went off really well. I hope Yamamoto remembered that.

I drowned out the rest of the speech because it was all stuff I already knew and waited for him to assign us posts in the World of the Living. Of course Yamamoto started with Soi Fon and worked his way down.

"Uchimani-taichou," he said when it was my turn. "You will pick three men to take with you and pose as students in Forks High School, since your mission at Hogwarts went smoothly, I'm expecting the same."

I smiled, punching the air in delight. My assignment played my strengths at let me hang out with my friends in Forks. Jake was looking happy as well, him, Toshiro and I being the youngest looking Captains were assigned the same posts.

That night I paced through my barrack throwing whatever I needed into a backpack. My lieutenant, Shuhei Hisagi, and San and Yon Seki, Marcus Flint and Ichigo Kurosaki, watched, their bags already packed. Ok I'm a girl and I travel like one, by pack light, that means as much as I can cram into two suitcases and two carry-ons. I paced the room throwing books and clothes pell-mell into a suitcase and trying to figure out the best way to compile it.

Shuhei laughed at my attempts and I had to remind him who was carrying his girlfriend, Amy's bags at the airport.

The entire airport thing took me for a spin but I guess it was to make the entire effect more convincing. If twenty-two Japanese transfer students just popped out of nowhere I would get suspicious and that's the last thing we needed on this mission. There was a knock at the door, and it jarred my already haphazard thoughts.

Marcus ran to open it; Renji was standing in the doorway. He was one of the twenty-two going.

"You guys almost ready?" he asked looking at the small pile of suitcases belonging to the boys. The three of them responded with either a nod or yes.

"No," I answered curtly trying to close my suitcase. I guess I packed too much because even with me sitting on it (and I'm no pixy, I'm five foot eight) it still wouldn't close. Reluctantly I emptied out some of my clothes and closed my suitcase.

Renji led us to one of the gates leading to the world of the living. The other members of the squad were there carrying luggage. How we were going to get all of this to the world of the living was beyond me but I suspected that some magic was being used.

The third company ensemble composed of the twins, Jake and Jack Emmerson and Izuru Kira were there, ready and waiting as single members of fourth and fifth, Amy Flint and Momo Hinamori respectively. Sixth sent three, the captain, lieutenant and san seki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai and Jennifer Bletchley, Kyoraku and Nanao for eight, My division sent four, Me, Shuhei, Marcus and Ichigo, Tenth two, Toshiro and his lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto, Eleventh, Kenpachi, Yachiru Kusajishi, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa, finally thirteenth was going in with two, their captain Jushiro Ukitake, and newly promoted yon seki Rukia Kuchiki.

The Hell Butterflies were released and we passed through the Dangai to Tokyo to begin our mission.
