Hi guys! Seventh Sanctum here with a new story, after ages, this is a bleach one, where my OC, based on me, but with a different name is put through everything in the 13 Squads. I'm not quite sure where this is going, but I have a rough idea, but yeah, reviews are welcome, be nice, its only my second story xD. As always Bleach doesn't belong to me, but I wish that the universe was real. Well, we can all wish... Enjoy!


Sometime


"No, no, no, no! I knew I shouldn't have had that extra pizza last night!" The blonde haired shinigami panted as he sprinted through the corridors of the illustrious soul reaper academy. "Aoi was right. I should have gone to bed earlier… Damn!" His short hair, in its signature spiked up state, was unaffected by the wind rushing through it. "They're going to be talking about this for ages, 'the graduate soul reaper who forgot it was graduation day', I am such an idiot." If you haven't realised already, it was graduation day at the soul reaper academy, and every graduate had woken up early to try and get a spot on their preferred Company. All, except one. "Shit, how late am I? Where the hell is everyone?" His name is Ryo Takahashi. "Finally, someone I can talk to." The tall shinigami stopped in front of his friend, Aoi. "Aoi… thank the spirits… where is everyone?" He said between each gulp of air. "Oh, Ryo, hi! Why, everyone's out celebrating of course! Which squad did you get into? I got into 13th, can you believe it? They actually let me in!" she replied with a smile. "Oh no. That's great Aoi, I'm happy for you, but, I uhh…" "Overslept." She finished for him, sighing as he nodded his response. "Yeah..." "Well then, you better get going, I don't think there are very many places left, 11th looked really popular this year." "Crap. Thanks Aoi, I'll see you later!" He said as his hazel eyes darted toward the door, his feet following the direction, to the main atrium, where the sign up stand was. "You should have gone to bed earlier!" She shouted after him. "Yeah, I know! I just hope that there's places left in squad 11." He said to himself.

"None!" It turned out that there weren't any left. "You have got to be kidding me!" "Sorry kid" the old man behind the counter sighed. "I guess you should have woken up earlier." Ryo seethed at those words. "I keep on being told that." He spat out, with gritted teeth, like those very words would be his undoing. Which, untimely, they were. "Well, sorry, but it's the truth… Squads 11 and 13 were extremely popular. Places were gone in minutes, although, 8th company still has places left." "No way, I am not going there!" He uttered to himself. "Uh, what other squads are still available?" "Let's see here… Hmm… the only squads with places left are: 2, 4, 7 and 10. So, what'll it be?" The man answered. "Damn, this sucks. Well squad 2 has a strict look in Captain Soi Fon, being leader of the stealth force and all. Squad 4 seems alright, but they don't get much action, and my kido skills weren't too good in the first place." Ryo pondered to himself, the man waited patiently, occupying himself with the book he had been reading before the blonde haired shingami burst through the door. "Squad 7 looks good, I heard that their captain is huge and is powerful, that seems like a good option. Squad 10 looks strong, the Captain might only look like a kid but, apparently, he's as strong as the other Captains. That looks like a good option too." Ryo had a hard decision on his hands now.

"Okay, I've decided now." He declared to the man, who seemed like he had been sleeping. "Huh? What? Who? Where?" Ryo seemed to get growingly frustrated with the man, and repeated himself. "I said, I have decided now." "Oh, right, sorry. So then what'll it be?" He asked. Ryo let out a breath, he hadn't realised he'd been holding in. "Squad… 7" He changed his mind at the last second. "Okay, I'll put your name down, uh… What is your name again?" The man queried. "Ryo Takahashi" he responded. "Okay, there we go, Ryo Takahashi, signed up for squad 7, all finished. Now, go and enjoy your last day as a shinigami graduate, tomorrow you report to your squads barracks and begin your life as a shingami in the 13 Court Guard Squads. Have a nice day." The man finished with a smile. "Okay. Thanks sir, goodbye." Ryo replied. He turned and walked out the back of the atrium, to go and join his friends and enjoy the celebrations. "Hmm… That kid's gonna go a long way, that's for sure." The man mused to himself. He turned and headed out, whistling as he walked along. "That's for sure."
