Chapter One
Probationary
Author: This is my first story and I want to know what people think and if I should continue. Help is always needed.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach I do however own my characters: Hana, Zin, Mira, Takashi, Lera, and Silos.
Hana stood behind the red railing watching underclassmen go through a practice of kidou. Sighing Hana started to lean forward when an arm plopped heavily on her shoulder.
"Ya're graduating in a couple of days. Don't look so forlorn." Gin ordered as he patted the side of her face with his long elegant fingers.
"Weren't you suppose to be having lunch with that big busty girl?" Hana demanded snapping at his hand.
"She didn't show," Gin said with a shrug.
"So you decide to come bother me?"
"Most definitely,"
"have you figured out what squad I'll be put into?"
"Don't you want it to be a surprise on graduation?" Gin asked.
"No, I wouldn't have time to plot my suicide if I'm in your squad." Hana said matter-of-factly. Chuckling Gin let her go and started to walk away. "Gin, you cowardly cat,"
"You're in Squad 11," Gin called over his shoulder.
"Doesn't that have . . . . . WHY THAT SQUAD!?" Hana shouted as her thoughts clicked together. Gin merely ignored her as he walked around a corner. "Only one other girl," Hana hissed out. Grumbling Hana spun around and headed to the school's barracks.
(Graduation)
Hana stood as still as she could as Head Captain Yamamoto droned on for the graduating ceremony.
"We'll be old by the time he gets done," Takashi whispered ext to Hana.
"Or dead," Hana whispered back.
"Hana," Yamamoto called out. Stepping forward Hana bowed. "Have you learned what the name of your sword is?" Yamamoto asked.
"I have sir," When Hana didn't offer the name of her sword Yamamoto sighed gave her a small nod. "Neko-sama,"
"What type of attack is your sword?"
"Close range, direct attack."
"Do you have any request of what squad you want to be on?"
"I don't care which squad I'm put into just as long as it isn't Gin's."
"Why is that?"
"We're an unproductive pair,"
"Very well. Considering your sword type and your abilities I'm going to put you in Squad 11 under the command of Captain Zaraki Kenpachi."
"Yes sir," Giving Yamamoto a bow Hana stepped back in line and waited impatiently for the rest of the others. "Congratulations you have completed the classes required at the Academy. You'll be put on a one month probation where you new Captains will evaluate you. If you five strike within the month you will have you shinigami powers removed and you'll be sent back to the ranguki."
"Tough," Takashi whispered. Hana nodded her head as she rubbed her arm absent mindedly.
"You're excuse," giving the Head Captain a bow the ten graduates left the room.
"I can't believe you got put in the Eleventh Squad!" Mira, new member of Squad Four, gasped when they were safely out of Yamamoto's office.
"It's a lot better than Gin's squad," Hana muttered as she walked out into the Academy's front garden.
"Do you not know how bad Squad Eleven is!?" Zin snapped as he glared at his best friend.
"Do you not know how bad gin is?" Hana asked as she returned the look.
"You could have gone to the Sixth Squad," Takashi offered.
"With that stuck up nobleman?" Hana asked as she made a face at Takashi.
"Hey Byakuya is hot," Lera, another one of Hana's friends objected.
"If you like guys that cheat on you with a stick," Mira and Hana said in unison.
"You guys better head to your Squad barracks!" An older graduate, Silos, ordered as he and the other five graduates walked away.
"He's right," Zin muttered as he rubbed the back of his head.
Groaning Hana leaned against Mira for a few seconds before she started to walk away, "This is going to be awful!"
"I'll escort you to Squad 11." Zin offered as he fell into step beside her.
"Thanks Zin,"
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!" Mira, Lera, and Takashi shouted as loud as they could.
"Shut up!" Hana snapped as she flipped off her friends. Shaking his head Zin grabbed Hana's arm and ran off dragging Hana halfway to the Eleventh barracks.
(Eleventh Squad barracks)
"How big is this place?" Zin asked as he gaped up at the large building.
"I have no clue," Hana whispered as she watched two guys walking toward them.
"What are you guys doing here!?" One of them asked in a loud voice.
"You shouldn't be here, both of you." the second one stated.
"Hana," Zin asked giving Hana a side-long look.
"You'll be late," Hana warned as she pulled out her transfer papers.
"Come find me later," Zin said as he walked off.
"Where you going!?" The first person shouted at Zin.
"I'm the new probationary member for Squad eleven." Hana announced as she held up her papers.
"What!?" both guys shouted.
"We don't take girls!" the second person added after a brief pause.
"Your lieutenant is a little girl," Hana shot back.
"Who's stronger than you," the first guy argued in a huffy voice.
"How do you know that? You haven't even seen me fight. For all you know I could be as strong as the squad captain."
Before the two members could respond a deep gravelly chuckle stopped all conversation and drew the three peoples' attention to their right. Standing at the corner of the building was the eleventh squad captain Zaraki Kenpachi. "So you think you're as strong as me?" he asked in his deep gravelly voice.
"I'm merely a probationary, how can I be as strong as a squad captain?" Hana asked as she held out her papers to Kenpachi.
"What are those?" Kenpachi asked as he eyed the small stack of papers with distaste.
"My transfer papers, I'm supposed to be in your squad."
"A new friend!?" A small sweet voice squealed. Hana watched with a cocked eyebrow as the small pink haired Yachiru popped up over Kenpachi's back.
"I don't allow weaklings into my squad." Kenpachi announced.
"My sword type is direct attack, one of your requirements for your members."
"It doesn't matter if you're a weakling. You must fight one of my subordinates and then I'll decide if you can join."
"You have a month to decide that," Hana objected.
"Fight or go home," Kenpachi ordered.
"Who do I have to fight?" Hana asked with a sigh.
"Those two,"
"Sorry little lady, you're going down!" the second, still unnamed person announced.
"Such a pain," Hana whispered as she touched her sword's hilt. A second later the two members were lying on the ground twitching slightly. Hana was standing two feet behind the two men holding two elbow swords.
"Ooooh she's strong!" Yachiru announced.
"Hm, she is." Kenpachi muttered.
"Do I past the examination?" Hana asked as her swords melted into one another into a single nagato that she placed on the small of her back.
"You'll start your probation now," Kenpachi announced after several seconds.
