"Kenny come quickly!" Yachiru yelled pulling on his kimono.
"What is it?" he groaned rolling over and sitting up. He had been napping when interrupted by his Lieutenant.
"I was at the Academy and saw someone perfect for our squad!" she pulled on him harder until he finally stood.
"Who is it?"
"It's this girl named Kei Reiykuu, she's awesome. You have to see her! She's perfect for our squad."
"If you insist, Yachiru."
She placed herself in her usual position on his back and they headed for the Academy. Yachiru was extremely excited and couldn't stop talking about the young shingami student.
"She's got short, untamed blue hair, and blue eyes. She's really good too. I saw her in a duel and she completely blew away the other guy."
"What's her abilities?"
"Her zanpakuto is water based and really powerful!"
Kenpachi smiled listening to Yachiru go on and on about this student, "What makes you so sure she's right for your squad?"
"Just wait till you meet her."
They finally arrived at the Academy and didn't manage to get lost this time. They entered the gates and were immediately greeted by an instructor, "Captain Zaraki, Lieutenant Kusajishi what brings you here?"
"My Lieutenant has informed me of a promising student, I would like to meet her," he peered down at the instructor.
"Her name is Kei Reiykuu!" smiled Yachiru from behind Kenpachi's shoulder.
"Of course follow me," the instructor led them into the main building where students were practicing their swordsmanship skills. Kenpachi scanned the room and saw her leaning against the wall watching her fellow classmates duel. He could also tell she was itching to jump in something he liked in a student.
"Reiykuu!" the instructor shouted. Her attention snapped away from the fight and up to the instructor. She wasn't affected seeing the formidable Captain. The instructor pointed to the ring and then called out another student. Kei stepped into the ring and waited for her opponent who immediately struck, but Kei blocked the wooden katana with hers which she did at great speed. In two quick moves she had landed one crippling blow and the second was a fatal blow. Her opponent charged after her she flash stepped out of the way and kicked him behind his knee bringing him to the mat.
Another instructor called the fight and the two students bowed to one another before stepping out of the ring. Kei went back to her spot a long the wall. Kenpachi had watched the fight intensely before stepping from the room with the instructor.
"How good is she?" he asked.
"One of our most promising students. Top of her class."
"How has she done against dummy hollows?"
"Extremely well. Doesn't back away from a fight and leads the other students very well."
"I like that," Kenpachi smiled. He looked at Yachiru who was beaming on his shoulder, "Well Kenny what do you think?!"
"I like her she would do well in our squad," Yachiru was bursting, "WELL?!"
"Alright fine," he sighed.
"YAY!" Yachiru rushed back into the building and pulled Kei from it. The student had a rather confused look on her face trying to understand all the words that were coming from the Lieutenant's mouth.
"Congradulations Kei Captain Kenpachi is going to have you transferred into his squad."
Kei looked up at the massive Captain and then down at his Lieutenant and she couldn't find her voice at first, and she really didn't know what to say, but, "Thanks."
"You'll receive your uniform tomorrow and from there you are to report to Lieutenant Yachiru,"
"Right," she nodded.

"What?!" shouted Ikkaku as his Captain told he and the rest of the squad the news.
"Why a girl? Is she good enough for this squad?" questioned Yumichika.
"Of course she is," replied Yachiru.
"Well then again this could have its benefits…" whispered Yamichika to himself, "That would mean the Lieutenant would leave us alone, if she had another female friend. As long as she isn't prettier then me."
"When does she start?" asked Ikkaku.
"Tomorrow," Kenpachi replied before heading outside to sit down.
---
"What squad did you get transferred into?!" questioned one of Kei's fellow female shingami.
"Squad 11," Kei calmly replied as she packed her things into a sack.
"But that squad is crazy! I mean look at their Captain!" she cried.
"I don't care how crazy they are it just allows me more fights and to better my skills. There's nothing wrong with that."
"You'll get yourself killed!"
"Will you relax! I'll be fine, I'm just happy I'm done at the academy," Kei got into bed and turned off the table light ending the conversation. The next morning she would start her new position as a shingami in Squad 11 under the leadership of Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi. She smiled to herself before drifting off to sleep. She would finally be able to let loose in the most fight hungry squad.
