"Really Genryusai you don't have to think too hard you have three squads without a captain."
"I know Thomas, but at the moment the Gotei 13 is in a state of disarray at the moment"
Thomas sat back in his chair, fingers steepled. "Tell you what. Put me as the captain of squad three and I'll orginise a little captain's match. Me verses the current captains."
"This is quite the idea Sensei. But are you sure you would not at least like to challenge me for head-captain?"
"How could i be that disrespectful Genryusai? Besides I have plans for squad three"
Thomas stood his slightly too-large robe billowing out behind him. He replaced his old, blood-stained captain's robe with the one held in Yamamoto's hand. He drew his wakizashi from his right hip and cut two slits in the fabric. Releasing his wings with and audible sigh Thomas walked out of the squad 1 barracks.
