Hi! I'm Mandy! This is my second fanfiction. It is mostly about Toshiro, Byakuya, Renji and Ichigo. Hope you enjoy! I do not own Bleach. Tite Kubo , I do own Amanda, Kimi, Rin and Izumi.

Hitsugaya Toshiro was walking towards a captains meeting. However, this one only included him, Kuchiki Byakuya, and Abarai Renji (nevermind) When he arrived, he waited for the head captain to begin speaking. Nevertheless, Yamamato told him that there was one missing shinigami. Suddenly, the doors burst open and Kurosaki Ichigo ran in. Hastily apologizing to the Head Captain for being late, the meeting began.
"As you all know, we are fighting The Phantom Knight. Tomarrow, we will confront Phantom and bring this impending war to an end. I want you all to prepare for the trip. Also, all of you will have a mentor, a baby. You will be meeting them after this meeting."
Baffled, everyone had a confused look on their face. Byakuya spoke up" a BABY is going to be fighting and teaching us?"
Toshiro said " How is a baby going to help us?"
Ichigo asked " Aren't we just going to endanger them by bringing them into battle?"
Renji questioned " Who are they?"
Sighing, Head Captain Yamamato replied" Yes, no you are not going to endanger them very much because they are strong fighters. They are more than their appearance suggest. When the time comes, they will reveal to you their true forms. In fact, why don't you all go and meet them now? They are in Squad 4's barracks. I will be accompanying you."


When they arrived, Unohana welcomed and invited them inside. She led them to a room with cribs. On each of the babies' cribs, there was a nametag. The first baby was named Amanda, the second one was Kimi, the third one was Rin, and the fourth one was Izumi. Each walking over, Byakuya peered over the crib and stared at Kimi's little face. Staring back, Kimi cooed at him and Byakuya gently picked her up. Kimi then clung to his captain's haori and comfortably nestled there.

Toshiro walked over to Amanda's crib, reached a hand inside to stroke her cheek. However, when Toshiro's finger touched her cheek, Amanda latched onto his finger. A smile forming on Toshiro's lips, he gently picked her up as well. Amanda then happily rested in Toshiro's arms. Byakuya and him watched Ichigo and Renji interact with their babies as well.

Renji, unsure how to react to Rin, brushed a tuft of hair from her face and Rin smiled at him. Feeling a bit more confident, Renji picked her up and carried her around. Now, the only person left is Ichigo.

Ichigo, having two sisters, knew that babies loved attention. Therefore, he picked Izumi up and examined her. Clueless, Izumi touched noses with Ichigo.

As the Head Captain Yamamato was watching this, he felt satisfied because the shinigami and the babies were interacting successfully. Then, he made a decision.
"I have changed the confront date until next month. You all need to spend more time with Amanda, Kimi, Rin, and Izumi. Get to know them better. No objections!"


As Byakuya traveled back to the sixth division, Kimi began tugging on his clothes. Looking down, he asked her what was wrong, even though he wasn't sure if she could even understand him. To his surprise, Kimi asked "where awe we going?"
"Sixth Division Barracks."

There, Byakuya set up a room for Kimi and placed her inside so he could go complete some paperwork.

Taking one last look at Kimi, he realized that her name meant cherry blossoms, his favorite flower.1

Sakura.
