Hello Again everyone! Just wanted to put this up, it's a Bleach story I have been working on. I do not own Bleach, nor any characters, except for my OC. (Who are yet to be revealed…) Please enjoy!
Chapter 1; New Captains.
Toshiro sighed and shook his head as he looked over at his lieutenant. Rangiku had, for once, come in on time, but she was complaining about a migraine. He knew what that meant. Rangiku with a migraine was an obvious sign that she had been drinking the night before. When she had come in, she was a little sluggish and she went straight onto one of the couches and started to complain. This thoroughly annoyed the young captain. It annoyed him even more when she had promptly fallen asleep before he could even make an attempt to give her a single sheet of paperwork.
Toshiro took another few hundred sheets off the top of his nice stack of his paperwork. He knew that he was slowly getting through it because it was now at the point that he could reach it without having to stand on top of the desk. He started to sign the papers when he heard his lieutenant speak up.
"No… I didn't eat the waffle…" Rangiku said sleepily on her captain's couch. Toshiro felt the anger rise within him as he shoved his quill in the inkwell. Waffles, how can she be thinking about food! He thought angrily and moved his quill to the side, without taking it out of the inkwell. Black ink spilt over his already signed paperwork.
"That's not Gin… That's little Shiro…" She murmured and rolled to her side, hugging a pillow close to her chest. She somehow found a more comfortable position and stayed still, mumbling quietly to herself.
That was the last straw for Toshiro and he stood up, his eyes turning dark with anger. He hated that name Little Shiro with all the hate that he had inside of him and he went right in front of Rangiku.
"Rangiku Matsumoto!" Toshiro yelled and his lieutenant was slightly startled and confused as she woke up.
"Yes Captain?" She asked tiredly, yawning as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She looked at her captain's angry emerald eyes and was puzzled for a moment, feeling something prick at the back of her head. Then she realized that she had that headache from the night before, which put pressure on the back of her head. She did her best to ignore it.
"I have told you a million times. I am NOT Little SHIRO!" Hitsugaya roared as his lieutenant recoiled into the couch slightly, becoming even more confused.
"Captain… I would never call you 'Little Shiro'…" Rangiku said hesitantly and she heard her captain mutter something under his breath. Hitsugaya stood up and he shook his head, looking over at his desk. He looked at the mound of paperwork.
"Are you going to help me this time?" Toshiro said as he calmed himself slightly, turning his back to Rangiku, he went back to going on with his division's paperwork. Rangiku stood up, flushed with embarrassment and quickly re-adjusting her shinigami robe.
"But Captain… I said I'd meet… Shunsui… to help him… choose his new kimono!" Rangiku said happily glad that she could make excuses up on the spot. Unfortunately for her, Hitsugaya was use to her lies and he didn't believe her at all. He picked up a pile of paperwork before he dumped in front of Rangiku, placing a spare inkwell and quill on the table in front of her.
"After you finish these." He said, smiling as he sat back down at his desk. Rangiku moaned in annoyance.
"But Captain… I don't have time to do this!" Rangiku complained mournfully as she stared at the paperwork. Toshiro glared at the back of her head as she shook it angrily.
"What else would you do? Get wasted with your drinking buddies?" Toshiro asked in an annoyed tone and Rangiku hesitated slightly in response. She had realized that there was no way she wasn't going to get out of this one unless she actually did the paperwork. Muttering to herself, Rangiku started scratching her signature into the papers. She started to actually regret drinking for a second when she couldn't remember her signature, then remembered how much fun it was to actually drink.
The young captain smiled to himself as he finished the remaining papers.
Rangiku placed the pile of work on the corner of Toshiro's desk and he looked up. She was grinning broadly, never a good sign.
"You actually finished?" Toshiro inquired, flicking through the pages. Rangiku smiled and she nodded.
"Filled all of them out, how could you doubt me?" Rangiku asked, sounding ever so slightly hurt. Toshiro shook his head and sighed as he turned back to his paperwork.
"Fine, fine. It would be nice that if you could, one day, just do all of your paperwork without me doing half of it first." Toshiro muttered, but his comment fell on dead ears as Rangiku was already on her way out the door. Remembering something, she hesitated just outside the door. She stuck her head back into the room.
"Captain?" She said hesitantly, seeing her captain lower his head in annoyance. He really needed to get this paperwork done soon.
"What is it, Matsumoto." Hitsugaya hissed, his dark glare meeting his lieutenants' eyes again. She swallowed nervously.
"Did you hear about the new captain of squad 5?" Rangiku asked slightly concerned that he would react violently. But she knew her captain didn't know by the way he became puzzled for a second before smiling brightly. Which was an obvious sign that he had come to some conclusion.
"There's a new captain? Wow, I knew Hinamori was good, that's excellent if she became captain. She deserves it." Toshiro said, looking back down at his paperwork, continuing to sign the paper. He heard Rangiku laugh slightly and his head snapped back up, settling into another glare.
"No, she is the new captain of another squad. There is a new completely new captain and she's going to be announced at the next meeting! Isn't that exciting Captain?" Rangiku said cheerfully as surprised masked Hitsugaya's face. It wasn't often that Rangiku could catch her captain completely off guard. To be honest, this was the first time.
"A new captain?" Hitsugaya asked as Rangiku continued to smile. He frowned and went back to doing his work. But before he could even begin another signature, his eyes landed on the time. He stood up and shrugged his haori over his shoulders, putting Hyorinmaru on his back.
"What's the matter Captain?" Rangiku asked with slight concern in her voice as her short captain hurriedly walked past her.
"We have a meeting that starts in at least ten minutes." Toshiro said over his shoulder, slightly irritated. Rangiku moaned in annoyance, realizing that she wouldn't be able to go over to the Shunsei's and drink his sake.
"Do we have to go…?" Rangiku asked as her captain glanced over his shoulder, a look of annoyance in his eyes. She knew the answer from that.
The two had to use shunpo to get there in time. But they were almost shut out because some of the squad one guards already started to shut the doors. When he entered, Hitsugaya was surprised that there was still some chatter amongst the captains and lieutenants. A pink kimono shifted slightly as Shunsei saw Hitsugaya and Matsumoto stand there slightly puzzled.
"After this meeting then, eh Rangiku?" Shunsei asked, tipping his hat slightly. The lieutenant jumped in surprise before she found one of her drinking buddies. Rangiku smiled widely.
"Of course captain, I'll meet you there," Rangiku began and received a glare from her small captain, "…right after I finish my paperwork?"
Shunsei laughed before he turned back and continued talking to Captain Unohana and Ukitake. For some reason, Zarachi was also there. He never really talked to anyone.
Hitsugaya stopped standing there like a lost sheep and stood in his rightful position between Shunsei Kyoraku and Mayuri Korotsuchi. Rangiku quickly went to stand behind him as Captain Yamamoto started to yell at of all them to be quiet.
"As some of you know, we have two new captains. Momo Hinamori has obtained her Bankai and will be the captain of squad nine. Enter Captain Hinamori." Yamamoto said, his voice seemed to drown as the double doors opened.
Hinamori entered, her white haori was cut at the elbows. She stepped into the room, slightly unsure as the doors shut behind her.
"As you all know… umm… I'm the new Captain of squad nine… thankyou for all your support…" Hinamori stuttered as she blushed madly.
"Congrats Hinamori, you have done well!" Shunsei said, obviously sensing the girls' uncertainty. Momo looked at Shunsei and smiled. The others soon started to congratulate her and Hinamori stood in her place.
"Now. Only two of you know just who the new Captain is. She has excelled in the academy and proven herself in many ways. She obtained Bankai ten years after knowing her Shikai. Seeming she has, we have decided to officially make her the new captain of squad five. Enter, Captain Dawn Natsunai." Yamamoto's voice boomed as the doors opened. Hitsugaya struggled to keep his jaw from dropping in amazement.
There was chatter amongst both lieutenants and captains as she came through the door.
"Greetings Captains and Lieutenants, I am Dawn Natsunai."
