Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi was an interesting man. He wore a fancy robe, had a headdress, and covered his face in strange face paint. Underneath all that, he was a normal human being. Well, as normal as a soul reaper could be. A soul reaper is someone who fights hollows, which are the spirits of dead people who remain and eat the souls of humans. Kurotsuchi was in charge of twelfth division, which was the science division. Being in charge of science, did many strange things. Some were dangerous, and others were quite helpful. Being captain also allowed Kurotsuchi to yell at people, particularly…
"Nemu!" he yelled.
"Coming Master Mayuri!" she called.
Nemu Kurotsuchi appeared to be an attractive woman in her late teens. She wore a short, black dress, and had a long, black braid. Nemu was assistant captain to Kurotsuchi, and had been created by him. Not how normal humans are created, she had been artificially created. She still treated Mayuri as family, and did whatever he asked. Unfortunately, Mayuri did not treat her very well.
"Nemu, I have an errand for you to run." He said.
"What is it master?" she asked.
Nemu was used to running errands, and she could only imagine what insane thing her "father" wanted her to get for him this time.
"It is a difficult task." He said. "You'll need this."
He held out something, and Nemu took it.
"Your library card Master Mayuri?" she asked.
"Yes." He said blandly. "I need you to get me a book."
"A book?" asked Nemu.
"A book." Said Kurotsuchi.
"A book?"
"A book."
"A book?"
"A book."
"But not just any book." Said Mayuri. "An incredibly important book."
Oh great, here we go again thought Nemu. She hated it when master got like this, he would go on about crazy plans, and how he was onto something incredibly important. Nemu wanted to skip all this crud, but how? Then it hit her.
"Master Mayuri." She said with a completely straight face. "It makes no difference if it is important of not. If you want me to, I will retrieve it for you."
Kurotsuchi paused for a moment, and then a smile crept onto his face.
"That's my girl." He said, patting her in the head
Nemu bowed, and left the room. It was time to go to the library.
