Okay! I finally have put this up! This is the sequel to my other story, Return of the Missing, so if you haven't read that one go and read it so that this makes sense. Enjoy!

Note: If you found this because you were looking for yaoi, and thought this was one, I am sorry. This may contain yaoi, but the main couples are not yaoi. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of its characters, only my OCs. I don't make any money off of this.

Summuary: Three years after Lena joined the 13th division, her two friends from Zaraki joined the Seireitei. But what kind of people are they? And, will they follow in Lena's foot steps and fall in love?

My Note: I know, crappy summuary, but I couldn't think of amy better! I am sorry! I'm also not good with summuaries...


Friends of the Missing

Prologue

Almost three years ago, Lena Monoty became the lieutenant of the 13th division. A couple of months later she started dating the captain of that division, Jushiro Ukitake. And then, only a month ago, they got married, the date of the wedding being March 9th, making Lena Monoty become Lena Ukitake.

Today, Lena, Ukitake, Shunsui Kyoraku and Nanao Ise were hanging out when Nanao said that she had something to say.

"I'm going to become a captain." She said, all of them shocked. She knew bankai? Shunsui looked at her, tilting his head at her.

"So you're leaving me? I'm not going to get anything done without a lieutenant." He asked, giving a pouting face, the second sentence quieter. Nanao sighed, having expected that.

"Well, I though ahead, and because our third seat isn't ready I looked at other places and found a person who would be better suited to be a lieutenant." She said, almost groaning out loud as she recalled all the searching she had done.

"Where did you end up finding a good candidate for the new lieutenant?" Lena asked, curious.

"Well, I actually, I recalled how you became a lieutenant," she told Lena, "so I looked at the current graduates, and I found someone in the advanced class that took three years to go through the academy, but from how high her grades were she was offered to graduate in one year, but, for some reason, decided not to." When she had found that out she had been shocked. Turning to her captain, or her previous captain for when she became captain, Nanao told him her name. "Her name is June Lockson." She said, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion when Lena gasped in shock.

"You said June Lockson?" She sounded shocked, making everyone give her a confused look as Nanao nodded.

"Do you know her, Lena-chan?" Shunsui asked her, looking curious. She nodded.

"Yeah. I know her from when I was in Zaraki the second time." She thought about her friend, always fearless of what people thought, and she always hated it when men thought that because she was a shorter woman that she was inferior to them. As she was thinking Nanao suddenly recalled something.

"Before I officially chose to have her as my replacement I wanted to meet her." She said, getting a shocked look from Shunsui. "One of the times that I went and talked to her she asked me about you, Lena-chan." Lena smiled, wondering if they thought that it showed that 'June' was kind, or if it was just because she knew her.

But Shunsui was still caught on something.

"How long have you known that you were going to become captain?" He asked her, everyone realizing that. Nanao looked slightly guilty.

"Well, I've known since January, but I asked to postpone it so that I could find a replacement lieutenant, and to keep it secret so that no one got confused if they just heard that I was going to become captain, but I was still a lieutenant."

"So you wanted to be nice and find a new lieutenant for me before you left?" Shunsui asked, Nanao giving him a weird look before she nodded. "Oh, you are so nice, lovely, lovely, Nanao-chan!" He said, sounding, and acting, more like himself as he tried to hug her, only to get hit by a random book.

"And don't think that just because she has never met you before that she doesn't know what you are like, because I warned her about her when I told her about her future position. And, before anyone asks, that was only yesterday." She said, stopping the question that she expected one of them to ask. Shunsui pouted, complaining that "his lovely Nanao-chan" was being mean to him, getting another whack upside the head.

But while all that was going on, all Lena was thinking was that she was going to be able to see her friends again.
