Trouble?
No clouds and clear blue sky. It was yet another ordinary, boring day in Seireitei. The 11th Division Squad are happily having a training in their grounds while their captain and vice captain are contentedly having a nice break in their office instead of doing the paper works.
"Ken-chan, you sure you don't want to work on the papers? Ojii might get mad this time." Yachiru Kusajishi, vice captain of the 11th Division Squad, started while munching some rice crackers.
"Nah, let someone else do it. Someone like me is not suited for such chore." Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the 11th Division Squad, mumbled, stuffing more rice crackers in his mouth.
Suddenly, the familiar alarm echoed and shook the whole of Seireitei as if a tremor just occurred and the same female voice followed. "Alarming all 13 Division Protection Squads to quickly proceed to their posts. A hell butterfly has been sent to every squad to give more details."
"Eh? Did something happen?" Yachiru grabbed more rice crackers and gobbled them up.
Scratching the back of his head, Zaraki said, "I hope it isn't something boring…"
Footsteps rushed and the door opened then a bald guy and flashy one entered the office.
"Captain, a ryoka has entered Seireitei and we have been ordered to proceed to Block B." Madarame Ikkaku, 3rd seat to the captain, reported with one hell of an excited expression on his face.
"That's it? That's the entire ruckus for?" Zaraki looked directly at Ikkaku's eyes.
"Y…Yes… But this ryoka actually destroyed the North Gate and left Jidanbou critically injured on the spot!" Yachiru looked from Ikkaku to Zaraki and smiled.
Zaraki took his sword and stood up, towering Yachiru and the rest with a wide smile stretched across his face. "I don't really care if he took the crap out of that weak guard but I'm having the feeling that this guy's strong. Let's go, Yachiru." The little vice captain wiped off crumbs from her face and leaped to Zaraki's back with a cute grin. "I can sense where he is! Follow my lead, Ken-chan!"
Without any other word, the two went off to a different route where they're supposed to be heading to, in pursuit of the ryoka, leaving Ikkaku and Yumichika hanging. "Does it mean, we should just lead the squad?" A hideous smirk flashed on Ikkaku's face as he said, "What else could it mean? Let's go, Yumichika! Let's not lose to Captain Zaraki!" Yumichika shook his head followed by a heavy sigh. "At least let's lead them beautifully."
Block E, the post of 10th Division Squad, is shaken by succeeding explosions heading towards them. It is not quite far from the Headquarters of the 11th Division Squad. Hitsugaya Toushiro, captain of the 10th Division Squad, braced himself as the unknown peril advances in an alarming stable way. The explosions continued, closer and closer, until the wall just in front of the 10th Division Squad started to crack and finally crumbled to tiny pieces. "Surround him!" The explosion almost drowned out Hitsugaya's command, nevertheless, the squad heard and obeyed.
Just as the smoke slowly cleared, the 10th Division Squad was shocked at the large familiar silhouette casted by what they thought as the ryoka. "Are we really going the right way?" A familiar voice came out that seeped in through the spines of the 10th Division Squad. Who would not recognize this voice? And considering their HQ is just dozens of yards away. "I'm sure, I'm sure. We're getting nearer!" The voice that followed is to be expected.
Hitsugaya lowered his guard and let out an exasperated sigh. "Captain Zaraki, your post is supposed to be over there, isn't it?" The smoke finally lifted up and indeed, there stood the insane Captain of the vicious squad with his ever so cute lieutenant clinging onto his back. Zaraki looked down at Hitsugaya and looked at the shinigamis surrounding him. "This is certainly not where the ryoka is…" Yachiru just giggled and pointed to another direction and said, "Over there then!"
"What do you mean then? You're just guessing, aren't you?"
Zaraki didn't even bother to answer Hitsugaya's question and just darted off. "They always seem to have lots of free-time even during these times." Matsumoto Rangiku, vice captain of the 10th Division Squad, said while shaking her head. Hitsugaya just continued on giving instructions to his squad.
Still following Yachiru's random directions, Zaraki arrived to the doors that lead to the human world. There was no guard there and the place looked devastated. Even the doors weren't closed that anyone would really think it's suspicious. Then, almost as if they were just waited to go over there, a hell butterfly appeared, relaying an unseen message to Yachiru. "Ojii is calling all captains for a meeting."
