It's fun to play in the world that Tite Kubo has created and he get the credit. I do not own any characters but the OCs. Thanks for taking a peak at what I have been working on.

New to the squad

As I walked to my new squad, I heard someone running up behind me.

"Captain Abarai!"

I stopped and turned around to see Izuru.

"Ah, Lieutenant Kira."

I smiled at my friend. I am grateful that I get to work with him again. I was recently promoted to the position years after the winter war and very surprised that I was recommended for it.

"Shall we go and meet our new members?"

"I heard that we got some twins?"

"Twin girls from the Shiba clan."

"Oh, great. Hopefully they're not too much like Kūkaku." I sighed.

We heard some giggling, as we got closer to the barracks. We saw two girls wearing knee length hakama. They turned around when they heard us approach.

"Captain Abarai, Lieutenant Kira" they said together as the bowed.

"You must be our new members. What's your names, please?" asked Izuru.

"I am Alina Shiba." said the girl with short black hair and green eyes.

"I am Kine Shiba." said the other. She had medium, very pail hair. Almost white, with tints of red and blonde in it and teal eyes.

"Izuru, would you like to test them to see if they are worthy of a seated position, since we have some openings?" I teased as I motioned for the girls to follow us.

"Sure, lets head to the training grounds." he shrugged.

Moments later

I noticed that a couple other members of the squad started to follow us, curious of the new girls. As soon as we got to the training grounds, practically the entire squad was there to watch. I had a feeling everyone wanted to see what they could do.

"All right everyone! Those of you here to watch, please be up on the tops of the builds along the perimeter, otherwise stay out of the way. Alina, you go first, use anything you have, if you can do shikai, please do. Kine, you'll be after Alina."

The match started and I saw that some of the other captains showing up to watch too. Everyone loves to watch a good fight, especially when it comes to a seated position. Those tend to be a bit more dramatic.

"Hey Renji!" said Ichigo as he walked up to me. Ichigo had become the captain of squad nine.

"I see you got new members," as he watched Alina and Izuru, "don't have too much fun with my cousins."

I looked at him confused. "Cousins?"

"Yep, I'm related to the Shiba clan. My dad use to be a Shiba before he came to the World of the Living." He explained.

"Eclipse, Nesha Tsukino!" Cried Alina.

Her zanpakutō almost looked like a smaller version of Ichigo's Zangetsu, but straight and it had black, blue, and white stripes on the blade with a blue hilt. The sky got dark.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

A huge blue energy shot towards Izuru.

It was almost like watching Ichigo's attack, but in a different color. Izuru almost didn't make it out of the way. Instead of the power heading to crash into a wall, it turned. I noticed that Alina was controlling which way the attack was going.

"Can you do that?" I asked Ichigo

"Nope, but it seems that Getsuga Tensho attack runs in the family." He smiled. "You know, its almost like watching Byakuya with the way she controls the Tensho."

We heard an explosion and looked to see Alina and Izuru throwing kidō spells at each other. I knew Izuru would be hard to beat. He's quite talented at kidō.

"Saya Tsukino!" She shouted as she slid her hand down her blade and Kidō arrows flew at Izuru. Their swords clashed again,

"Getsuga Tensho" she whispered, as their swords met.

Izuru went flying into the wall. Some of the squad members cheered. After a little bit it got quite and it looked like they were getting tired.

"All right you two! That's enough. Kine! You're next and I'll be your opponent. Izuru, go and sit by Ichigo. Alina, take a break." I shouted as I headed to the ground.

I heard the girls giggling and I smiled. Izuru headed over by Ichigo and started chatting about the girls. I saw him shaking his head.

"Ready Kine? Try to keep me on my toes." I teased but I could see her smirking.

"Shine, Chiyo Koray!" I heard.

I started to see lots of sparkles and smoke in the air around me, like I had walked into a fireworks area. I tried concentrating to see where she went.

Then I heard it: "Getsuga Tensho!"

A huge orange energy blast came towards me. I dodged it easily, but I didn't realize that Kine could control which way the attack went too.

After the smoke cleared, I could see Kine holding an identical zanpakutō to Alina's but it had orange instead of blue and an orange hilt. She was wearing purple sunglasses. Kine proceeded to bombard me with kidō spells. One spell I didn't expect was one she had invented herself.

"Koray Ishi!" she cried as she slid her hand along the blade.

I got bombarded by what looked like red firework bombs flying at me. They exploded in flight and when it hit things. I tried to dodge them but one hit me and I flew back into a wall. I could hear some squad members cheering.

'That was pretty good shot.' I groaned.

I wasn't that good at Kidō and I think Kine could tell.

"Seppa!" I heard as I fell into a sand pit. I had to stop and try to catch my breath.

"I think that's enough." I smiled at her.

She nodded and headed over to Ichigo and Alina, giving them both hugs. We heard applause from the crowd. Izuru walked up to me smiling as I shook the sand out.

"I think these two are going to be good for the squad. I'm not sure who should get third and fourth seat. Did you notice a lot of their moves are the same?" he said and I nodded.

"We could always make them duke it out, but I have a feeling that would be a draw. How about we have Alina third seat and Kine fourth seat."

"Sounds good, let's go tell them" he smiled as we headed over to Alina and Kine. We saw Ichigo grinning.

"All right you three, let's go eat and we'll tell you which seat you made. Also, you could tell us more about yourselves."

Moments later

We headed off to one of Izuru's and mine favorite noodle restaurant. Soon, Rukia joined us along the way. We got a table and ordered our food. Ichigo filled Rukia in on what happened as our food arrived. I could see the smile grow on her face.

"You know, Alina and Kine, those two need to be beaten on every now and then." she smirked pointing at Izuru and I.

"They still have to listen to me. I am their captain. Alina you get third seat and Kine gets fourth seat. It was way to close to call otherwise." I explained.

They smiled and nodded.

"You do get your own quarters in the barracks. We have two by me that is open, one is on the top level and the other is right below it. I'll let you two figure it out. We can have other squad members help with your move."

"Ichigo, Kūkaku, Ganju and I can help you two move." offered Rukia.

"That would be great, I'll be up on the top level and Alina could take the one on the ground." Kine said and Alina nodded in agreement.

We all agreed to check and clean the two units this afternoon and then start moving things tonight, unless we ran out of time.

Later on

We finished up just after dinnertime. We had painted Kine's room and living room teal. Alina painted hers purple. As we helped them decorate, we started to notice the difference between the two besides their appearance. Kine had silver sakura petals on her bedroom walls and Alina had pink roses on hers. They both had a picture of the moon over their beds. Kūkaku and Ganju brought over some furniture for the girls, Kine's firework supplies, some shakudama and reishukaku. I looked at Kine with a raised eyebrow.

"Just don't blow up your place." I said.

"Don't worry, I haven't blown anything up yet. I know what I'm doing." she grinned.

"Just take good care of the girls for me," warned Kūkaku, then she turned to the girls, "behave yourselves, don't over due the pranks and listen to your captain, lieutenant, and cousin. I will hear about anything you have done." She and Ganju walked off, leaving the girls behind.

"Since it's late, let's grab some food and then turn in," suggested Izuru.

We were about to head out when we saw Yoruichi and Kisuke walking up with bags in their hands.

"We heard you were hungry." smiled Yoruichi.

"Let's head to my quarters to eat. I have lots of room." I said.

My quarters were on the corner of the barracks and it's two levels. The living room, kitchen and dining room are on the bottom level. I have three bedrooms and bathroom on the upper level. I have a very good view of central area of the courtyard.

There is a separate building that I could of have as my own living quarters, but I felt it would be better as a rec area and to have parties. The lower level of that building is all one big kitchen and dinning room. The upper level has a room for movie watching, one room has supplies for the squad, and the last room is a laundry room. I found out that most of the squad members prefer to do their own laundry.

We found plates and utensils in my kitchen and dug into the food that was brought.

"You know Renji, you might have to start locking your quarters up when you're gone," Yoruichi said, "These two love to pull pranks."

"Did they learn that from you or Kūkaku?" I teased.

"Not sure, but Kine loves to have shakudama on her." She pointed out as Kine stuck out her tongue.

"I hear the family is good with fireworks." I grinned

"That and Alina has a knack for blowing stuff up."

"Oh great. So, I have to worry about the floor below me disappearing?" I teased looking at Alina.

"Don't worry too much, I haven't blown anything up in years." she said waving her hand.

We all laughed. We continued with the story telling, until people started to leave. Soon there was only Izuru and I left.

"I guess, I'll see you in the morning." he said as he walked out.
