Author's note:

Week 3 of 100 challenge! This is 'Women' and it will be divided into 5 chapters. :') I got this idea in English class today (as most of where my ideas come from lol) I made this in dedication to the women of the Soul Society and to emphasize a little on each personality of the characters.

First part is Jushiro Ukitake :) Please enjoy and anticipate the next few chapters!

Update:

Sorry to everyone who read the previous story, I had to delete it due to issues with the story. I realized I added the rough copy along with the final and had to delete that for less confusion. For those who have not read this previously, please ignore this message.

"Women are the real architects of society" - Cher

Women. Man's equal, brings of life and powerful souls. Beautiful, intelligent and loving individuals. Many women in societies can be gentle, many tough, many fierce and many rough. Many are charming and many are sweet, while several are soulful with spirits so deep.

And women of the Soul Society are made up of all kinds of personalities and on a particular sunny day, the Communication Monthly that releases news and articles by the very soul reapers themselves dedicated a part of their magazine to the many influential women of the Soul Society.

As Shuhei Hisagi – man who never has free time – walked the pave way, passing through smooth concrete walls of the several pale undecorated buildings beside each other, he slumped his shoulders from the lack of presence of his comrades…or anyone else.

"I'm gonna have to start visiting homes," he whispered to himself. His disappointment was restored into hope as his peripheral vision saw the sight to his left and as he turned his head, grinned widely at the number inside a diamond shaped border attached in the middle of the board of the triangular roof that wrote in Arabic numerals, "13." His 1st interview.

"My lieutenant is a perfect example!" the man joyfully chucked in front of the 9th division lieutenant, resting his hand on his stomach from the hearty laugh that followed his declaration.

The young man furrowed his eyebrows and stared at the notepad he held up and contemplated to write.

"And how is Miss Rukia a perfect example?" he smiled as the white haired man carefully blew the steam off that rose from the Japanese tea cup coloured zen green. Sipping a little, he nodded his head in satisfaction at the sweet and soothing taste of the beverage.

"Hm, my lieutenant has a caring heart. She constantly looks out for those she cares about and helps everyone."

"What is one unique talent that Miss Rukia has?"

"Well…she's an accomplished actress." The captain places his index finger and thumb around his chin, almost to a pinch as if deep in thought.

"Rukia…has a way of getting out of trouble easily. She's very accomplished in acting and she also works well under pressure"

He smiled at the captain who had so much pride in his lieutenant as he wrote on the notepad.

"Why do you think she's influential?"

"Because she has the heart to be kind to anyone, even if they are supposedly below her status. She doesn't discriminate no matter who you are..." he paused in deliberation, his eyes glazed at his reflection in the liquid inside the cup.

"She's a great girl when you really get to know her. She's grown so much and I have so much pride in calling her my lieutenant." He wipes his lower cheek with his thumb and smiles genuinely at Hisagi, gripping his drink tighter.

The sounds of the water caught their attention, and they looked out Ukitake's window in sight of the large koi that seemed to be playful enough to continuously jump out of the water.

"See those?" he extended his arm out and pointed his finger at the pond.

"Rukia gave them to me as gifts. She said I must have been getting bored while recuperating here and decided to surprise me one day..."

"She visited me all the time and even during missions up in the Human World, always messaged me to rest well. She's someone who never forgets, Hisagi."

The young man smirked at his senior and spotted a picture behind Ukitake sitting on a ledge alone. In the picture was the pair, both captain and lieutenant, smiling at the camera together in happiness and below on the right side of the picture was a drawn picture of a white bunny rabbit and a text beside it that wrote,

"Captain,

Always take your medicine and get plenty of rest!

Rukia"

He chuckled to himself and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Rukia's a great girl, isn't she?"

"She definitely is."

He breathed a sigh of pride and relief as he smiled at the cloud covered sun outside the barracks. Wiping the cover of the pad, he glanced back at the 13th division building and walked away.

"1st interview, done."
