Chapter one

Akane POV-

Her sky blue hair sways side to side up in her pony tail, while my unruly strawberry hair falls in unruly layers down my back and of course, like the pain it is, in front of my emerald green eyes. I crouch down and jump landing on her back.

"Aiiiieee!" she yells as she attempts to regain some sort of balance. Apparently she realizes who it is when my hair falls in her face. "Akane! You know better than to do that to me!"

"Do I?" I ask climbing down from my unbiological sisters back. Kaya and I had been friends sense we lived out in the practical ghetto outside the Seireitei. We met when I bailed her out when she broke into this old geezers house. "Which did you make it into?" I ask hooking my arm with hers.

"Jushiro Ukitake's. The thirteenth," she says smiling knowing she got her second choice. Her first was the sixth under kuchki. "What about you?"

I grin, "I got eleventh. So other than the lieutenant, I'll be the only girl." Which as we all know is a great honor considering the group of people that's there, especially the captain, Kenpachi Zaraki.

"Really? Protect yourself, I've heard awful things from people about them. They said they fight all the time," she says her sea blue eyes full of concern.

"And who does that sound like?" I say laughing as we head to our new homes.

"Alright, fine, it sounds like you. But really those guys are just plain scary. So just please, please be careful,"she says again as we reach the thirteenth main quarters.

"Hey! Strawberry head! Go get a room!" Ikkaku Madrame says. He's accompanied by Yumichika Ayasegawa, both members of the eleventh division.

"Shut the fuck up chrome dome!" I yell back at him. "I gotta head to my new 'home' with heathens. I love you sis," I say turning away and leaving her. I turn back, "Oh, and by the way, you be careful til I see you next."

"Alright, you too. Madrame-kun is looking awfully mad.." she says as she goes into the building.

I head the little ways to the housing quarters of the eleventh division. I pull the door open and step in. The room is watching a fight between two huge monsters of men. Zaraki and his lieutenant (who is on his back as always) are watching the fight. She turns, sees me, grins, then turns back to him and whispers something to him. He stands up and says, "Men! We have a new recruit, as we all know the academy had graduations today. Only one member met our standards," an outburst erupted about how he better be up to standard and shit..., "SHUT UP! Alright this is," more outburst, "AKANE TAKAHASHI!" He waves over to me to head that direction. I stride forward.

"IT'S A GIRL?" the whole room except Zaraki and his lieutenant burst out.

"No shit I'm a girl dumbass...es. Hey Chrome dome...Pretty boy," I say smiling at them my 'haha fuck you' smile.

The little lieutenant comes over to me. "Okay, I'll show you where your sleeping, preferably with one eye open...these guys don't get to see a girl up close when not in battle very often," she say pulling me along behind her, making my 6'0 tall body hunch over. "Oh by the way I'm Yachiru Kusajishi. You can call me Yachiru. In the eleventh us girls have to stick together, plus you must be special sense Ken-chan picked you."

"Thanks, think..." I say as we head into my new room which has two beds. "Who am I sharing this room with?"

"No one right now. It used to be pineapple heads. But he left. Well anyways, welcome to the eleventh division!" she say cheerfully bounding out of the room. I crash on the mattress and fall asleep, but not before giving a thought to how Kaya's initiation went.
