''Here fifth seat, target in sight, they are eleven.''

''Message received fifth seat.''

I closed my walkie-talkie and crawled closer to my pray. I couldn't afford to be seen. If I mess up, I'll be in big trouble.

A group of man was terrifying the citizens of the Rukongai by sluttering them one by one. My mission was to find them and nutralized them as soon as possible. I took a deep breath and got closer. I opened my walkie-talkie to the lowest and when I was to whisper my order a voice spoke.

''Fifth seat...'' It said. I reconized my partner. ''Sara-chan..., run.'' The horrible interference hurt my ear and I pulled out the earpiece and frozed. My heart ran faster. God I was so stupid. How couldn't I sense it before? I turn around very slowly. In time to see a big piece of wood hitting me right on the head.

[In the 2nd division]

Kisuke POV

''Ah!'' Laughed Yoruichi. ''Kisuke, I know you'll be perfect for the job! You are quite a remarkable man.''

I smiled and had a slight blush. We were talking about me becoming the twelve division taicho.

''Are you certain?'' I asked.

''Of course! Kisuke, you achieved Bankai within three days, nobody except you accomplish that!''

I opened my mouth to agree but was interrupted by a man behind me.

''Shihoin-taicho!'' He shouted. I turned aroung to see one of our man crawling in blood. I rushed towards him and help him up.

''Yuki, where are the others?'' Asked Yoruichi standing up.

This man was sent with our fifth seat on a important mission to stop the murderers in Rukongai.

''All dead, except for Tsukiyumi-san, she's being held hostage.'' He said very quickly. Yoruichi came closer to the man named Yuki.

''When this happened? and where is she being held?'' she asked very in panic.

''Yesterday, at sundown. She is the the north Rukongai, sector 21. Miss, they want money.''

I looked at him confused and Yoruichi had the same look.

''Who the hell they think they are? Gansters like in the real world movies?'' She whispered.

I looked at her and she nodded.

''Don't take any stupid risk Kisuke, bring her out of there.''

I nodded and flash stepped out of there. I got to my room and changed clothes. I took the formal secret mobile corps uniform that hide my mouth, nose and hair. I didn't even grabbed Benihime. I could handle these punks on my own. Once ready, I flash step out of the Seireitei without being seen. I head north. It would be sundown once I'll arrive to the 21th sector... Perfect time to act in discretion. Those bastards will regret if they hurt Tsukiyumi Sara. My thoughts stopped on her for a moment. She was a great fighter but she was to bubble head to stay focus. She was very smart and was always thinking about stuff. We had a few missions together and I realized how much we had in common. The only reason she was in the 2nd division was because she admire Shihoin Yoruichi and her agility. She was younger than me and Yoruichi but she followed my bestfriend's footsteps. I gnashed my teeth with rage and moved faster.

As calculated, I arrived to the grounds at sundown. The litte village was empty. So the little gang was really camping here... I walked discretly on the house's roof before seeing light between trees not far from where I was. Flash stepped with precaution and got closer. I was a little circle of houses and in the middle was burning a fire with fifteen men around it with one woman lying on the ground. Sara.

''Let me go!'' She screamed with anger. Her hands were tied behind her back and her ankles too, she had dry blood in her beautiful lavender hair and was wearing a short pink kimono that one of the men would push up once in a while to bug her.

The big black man grabbed Sara from her hair and pulled her up. He lifted her until whe couldn't touch the ground anymore. She was struggling.

''What do you think to pick who will have some fun with her tonight?'' he said. I could barely see her face but I knew she was terrorized. When the other men laughed she kicked the man holding her in the gut and he let go of her. The others laugh even harder.

''Shut up you morrons!'' said the black man.

He got back up and pulled Tsukiyumi to her knees and pulled her head back with her hair.

''You ugly bitch!'' He shouted taking a knife out of his pants. That was when I decided to react. I flash stepped to the man and broke his wrist before he could even know I was there. I threw the knife away and engaged battle. It wasn't hard to handle fifteen regular man for me. It took a minute or two that they were all on the ground. I turned to Sara and saw she was looking at me with a n unsure look. I took off the head part of the uniform, reavealing my hair. She reconized me right away.

''Urahara-san'' She whispered. Tears filled up her eyes and I took her in my arms to sit her down on a bench. I untied her wrists and ankles. Before she could thank me, I took some rope that was lying on the ground and tied the men all to a tree. They were all uncounscious except for the big black man who was about to stab Tsukiyumi earlier.

''You son of a bitch, you won't get away with this, I'll track you down and kill that bitch with you watching!''

I ignored him and walked towards the fifth seat.

''What happened?'' I asked. She looked up and stared in my eyes for a moment before looking down.

''I was over cofident, I didn't realized that we were surrounded, and by my fault...'' She stopped talking and I realized that she was holding back to cry.

I stared at the beautiful young woman before me. Her lavander hair was hidding her light lime eyes. Her hair was short from the first view, with the untied part which was loose finished at the edge of her face but when you look closely, she had a ribbon tied up from the of her nape and down to her feat. Truth is, her hair was tied in the ribbon and no one saw her real hair cut. She wasn't very tall either. Everything about her physical appearence seemed to be fragile. Even her beautiful pale skin seemed to be made in porceleine. That's when I realized that her ankle was twisted. I was to in flammed with the battle that I didn't even realized that she was hurt.

''Come on, I'll bring you to Unohana'' I said to her trying to comfort her, but she didn't even nodded. I took her in my arms and she put her head on my chest and held my clothes. She was still holding her cries. A tear run out from her eye and I ignored it and flash step out of there.

It was morning when we finaly arrived. The guards seemed to be surprised to see me with Sara. No wonder, they didn't even see me leave. I walked towards the fourth division hospital where Yoruichi was already waiting. I stopped near her and she went in the hospital. We've found Unohana waiting for us in the main hall.

''I was waiting for you. I am glad to see you alive Tsukiyumi-san.'' She said with a kind voice. I glanced at the fifth seat and saw her look down with guilt. Isane Kotetsu arrived with a bed where I gently put Sara on. I tried to make eye contact but she avoided it. Yoruichi and I let Unohana leave with her and when she disappeared, my taicho turned to me:

''What happened?''

''She said she was over confident and they got surrounded...'' I answered.

''She thinks that this is all her fault?'' She asked with a sigh.

I nodded and whe streched, sign of exaution.

''She always take the blame on herself...'' she said, almost mad. Than she looked away towards where her fifth seat disappeared. ''I'll go speak to her..'' She said before leaving me behind.

A few days later, I was Taicho of the twelth division with Hiyori as fukutaicho. I left the second division without seeing Sara since I brought her to the hospital. I walked towards the first division house where all captains where gathered. The door was opened and I realized that I was the last to be there.

''Oh? I'm the last one here...? Hehehe.'' I said to fill up the akward silence.

''Get in.'' Said the captain commander pushing me a side with his stick. I got in line and the meeting started.

''As you can see, we've decided a new Captain for the twelth division.'' Said Yamamoto talking about me. ''He was judge by myself and two other captains and we concluded that he was fit for the job.''

Everyone looked at me. Shunsui Kyoraku looked at me unsure.

''Hi there! I'm Kisuke Urahara, pleased to meet you all.''

''What a dush bag.'' Whispered a voice behind me. The little girl with blond hair and freckles was looking me out with disgust. I smiled and turned back to the front.

''So Shihoin, did you capture the muderers from Rukongai?'' Asked old man Yamamoto.

''Yes we did, Kisuke caught them when he saved my fifth seat that this morning gave me her notice

She said that looking towards me.

''Kisuke, last time I checked, you didin't have a 3rd seat, am I right?''

I nodded.

''I'll speak with her after the reunion.'' I said with a smile.

And the reunion went on for about twenty minutes after we left the first division house. I walked beside my friend before we seperated in front of her division. I went to mine with Hiyori beside me.

Sara POV

I was in my room packing my stuff. I gave my notice to Shihoin this morning and I was almost finished packing.

''Sara!'' called a very familiar voice. I went to my door and opened it to find Yoruichi Taicho in front of it.

''Taicho?'' I said wondering what she was doing here.

''Kisuke wants to see you presto in his office.'' she said with a wink. Before I could ask why, she was walking away. I sighed and left my room. I wasn't wearing my Hakama, thinking that I will never wear one anymore. I'll be probably sent to the maggost nest anyways..

I was wearing a knee long kimono with a green boe matching my eyes. I had normal flip-flops without the usual socks in them. Now that I quitted being a shinigami. I walked and stopped in front the big gate with a big twelve written on it. I wondered why Urahara wanted to see me. Come to think of it, I haven't seen his since the day he brought me to the hospital. I wished that it wasn't him that saved me, but I couldn't undo the past. I sighed and the gate opened before me. A shinigami that I didn't know came to me and asked me to follow him. He brought me to the center of the division where Kisuke's stuff was. And I was amazed how much things he had. The man stopped in front of the door and knocked.

''Yes...? Oh thank you Yaji!'' He exclaimed seeing me. ''Tsukiyumi-san, please come in!'' I hesitated for a second but past Kisuke and walked in his room. I looked around and didn't know what to say.

''You wanted to see me?'' I finaly asked. It was the most simple question I could ask.

''Oh, yes... Erm...'' He looked around and pulled a box. ''Here take a seat.'' He said. I looked at him and almost laugh but I did what he demanded and sat down.

''So I heard that you gave your notice this morning.'' he said sitting down on another box in front of me.

''Yes I did.'' I answered.

''Why did you?'' he replied.

I bit my lower lip, a little ashamed.

''Sara, do you mind me calling you this way?'' He said taking a pause to his speech.

I shook my head in a no and he continued.

''Sara, we all do mistakes, and what happened last time wasn't your fault.''

''I was to careless.'' I replied looking away. ''I had five man under my orders and four of them are dead and one of them is still in the hospital...If you've have taking the mission or Soifon, I'm sure that...''

I couldn't finished, I was to shocked with what Urahara did. He pulled me in his arms.

''Sara, it's okay... But I think that those man who were under your orders wouldn't like you to give up because you screwed up once. You are alive Sara, don't throw that second chance away.''

I was paralyzed. I was bewetich by the wisdom of his words and for the first time I let myself cry. I buried my face in his shoulder as he hugged me, caressing my hair.

''Shhh... There, there...everything will be okay...'' he whispered in my ear. Suddenly I felt ridiculous and stopped crying with a slight chuckle. I moved away.

''Sorry for that, but thanks, I really needed a good cry.'' I said with a smile while whipping my tears.

''Its okay, I'm glad to help, because I have a proposition for you.''

I looked at him, puzzled.

''I wan't you to work for me, as my third seat.'' he said.

My eyes widden. He summoned me to... ask me to work for him.

''Sorry, but...'' I started but Kisuke stopped me with his hand.

''Before decclining my proposition, my division will now be more specialized in research, and I now you are a very curious person and you are very clever. I'm sure you are the perfect fit for the job.'' He said kindly. I stayed silent, he chained : ''You don't need to answer right away, think about it.''

I nodded and got up. Before he oculd add something else, I bowed in front of him and left the room with a thank you. I didn't expect that Urahara would ask me to work for him... Plus giving my notice to Yoruichi-sama this morning, I'll be promoted to third seat in his division...

''So, did you accept his offer?'' Asked a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Yoruichi walking towards me.

''I not sure if I should... because I... ''

''Sara!'' she cut me off. ''It was my idea, I know what happened a few days ago marked you and I was expecting you to quit, but I wanted to transfer you to Kisuke's division before you did...''

I stared at her, very surprised and I smiled.

''I guess you both know me more than I thought you did.'' I whispered.

Shihoin gave a friendly tap in my back.

''Of course we know you silly, we work we each other for, what? Five years now?''

''That's about right.'' I answered calculating on my fingers.

''Come on, I'll treat you, a party for your promotion!'' She exclaimed very loudly.

So I did get promoted. The next day I was moving in the twelth division squad, my room not that far from Kisuke's. The building right in front. Our rooms were right across from one another, seperated by a garden and training ground. I took back my Hakama and woke up on a new fresh start.
