Wow, my first Bleach fic, and it's based off of some crack ideas of mine. Anyways, the setting is kind of, recent chapters I guess. Or, as recent in Soul Society as you can get. Note that, Akina does not live anywhere near Ichigo, so don't expect too many appearances from him. Perhaps later on though, Akina might be relocating to Karakura (At the moment, she's still in Tokyo) If my assumption is correct, Karakura is no where inside Tokyo, is it? Okay well, pshaw, anyways. This is just the Prologue. Enjoy it.

But, just a random stupid fact, but Akina, like Yachiru, does have a habit of nicknaming people. Unfortunately, said nicknames are a little … off. As an example, she will eventually come to call Shuuhei as 'Porn Star'. I totally blame Vincent for burning that in my head.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. The anime that is. I do have a bottle of bleach for clothes though …

Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni. Well respected as the Commander General of the Gotei 13, but what most didn't know was that this man also had, and still does, have a family. Maybe not a son or daughter, but a grandson and a granddaughter. Now, these grandkids were quite the well respected figures themselves, being related to the almighty powerful God-like Genryuusai. Fact is, no one has officially met these grandkids, so they only assumed they were upright kids, and very mature. Heh, how Genryuusai wished they were like that.

Heavy footsteps resounded through the apartment halls, and they became louder and louder and louder. Skidding around the corner came Yamamoto Akira, his younger twin sister, Akina just a few steps behind. "Nii-chan! Give it back damnit!" Akina yelled, slowly starting to catch up to her older twin. They were 16 years old, and still acted as if they were 5. "Heh, no way! You can't even catch up with me!" With that, Akira speeded up, leaving Akina in the dust again. Akina gritted her teeth and, mustering up a last bit of energy, sped up a bit and flung herself at her brother. She made contact and brought him down, all the while managing to wrench the hair pin from her brother's hands. "Hey! What are you two kids doing?" a gruff voice yelled. Both turned to see who it was that was talking to them. Oh, it was that grumpy neighbor. "We're having 'fun'" Akira replied, a sly smirk on his face. Mr. Grumpy Neighbor glared at the two and slammed his door shut, mumbling something like 'kids these days'.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being normal and 10 being abnormal, such an event would rank as a 3. The Yamamoto Twins were notoriously known for chasing each other like this constantly. Of course, things like that have died down considerably, due to recent events. With the death of their parents, came the death of that comfortable lifestyle the twins knew. Akira actually worked outside of Japan as a model, and since he was busy so often, he didn't have much time to really visit his sister like he wanted to. Akira was a strikingly handsome young man, who actually looked a lot older than his age. He often used that to his advantage when it came to modeling, since some places weren't to comfortable with a 16 year old. He was 6'4", lean figured and black hair that covered his left eye. His right eye was an icy blue that matched his sister's, but his left eye was blind and a scarlet red color. There was a story behind his now blind left eye, but that, is a whole tale separate. Akina on the other hand was quite short compared to her brother, standing at 5'7", also fairly slender with the same black hair (except longer) and ice blue eyes. They were almost identical. The only things setting them apart being gender, height, and well, the fact that Akira looked older than 16.

Akira was currently under the care of a certain Kirashi Akishi at the moment, traveling all over with her for some work, while Akina stayed in Japan, going to school, all expenses paid by Kirashi, once again. Of course, being the Commander General's grandkids, these two did in fact slay Hollows as well, but it wasn't something they did on a regular basis. Oh no, slaying Hollows didn't put food on the table, so, they pretty much only went through the trouble if said Hollow was waltzing right in front of them. Even then, it's only if they're being provoked. In short, they were lazy, and thought such useless work wasn't worth the energy. Naturally, their relationship with their grandfather was quite estranged now.

With everything back in order again, Akira was off to work some more, and Akina was to hit the books. Unfortunately, Akina had the worst luck, and a messenger from Soul Society had come to her and told her that her Grandfather requested her presence. Bleh, fun. Just when she was starting to settle down into her nest of textbooks and notebooks and other things to study. Seeing as how her grandfather was man who should not be disobeyed, Akina went to Soul Society.

I would describe in detail some of the vents that happened, but all I can say is, warp points, confusion, and lack of a map. In other words, Akina had a special way to reach Soul Society, but sadly, keeps on getting lost using such a way. This wasn't the first time she has seen her grandfather though. As of recently, due to some … captain's death, Genryuusai had requested her presence quite a few times. Sometimes, just to ask her opinion on a situation, or if she had any advice about something, or, if she had some sort of plan in mind. Now, why ask a granddaughter things like that? Well, Akina for one was not raised like a normal human being should be. Though, I would think it first started with the fact that she was not a human being to begin with. She was a Celestial. A being created by the higher powers as foot soldiers, of sorts. Once again, I would go into it, but that information is not necessary. All you need to know is that Akina and Akira aren't human, they are in fact, blood related to Genryuusai, and well, that's about it, actually.

"You called for me, Grandfather?" Akina asked in what was her most polite tone possible as she clasped her hands behind her back. It was only her and her grandfather in the room, just like how it always was. Genryuusai made it a point that no one know about his grandkids due to how ashamed he was of them. "I have a small task for you, Granddaughter" he replied calmly, studying Akina's quite bored expression. She looked off to the side slightly, fidgeting with the back of her shirt a little. "Yes, Grandfather?" she asked, still keeping that polite tone of hers. He stood up and walked up to her, though Akina took a couple steps back, not really wanting to be so close to her grandfather like that. "I'm sure you understand the current situation?" Akina nodded. "I wish for you to temporarily take the place of one of our … missing captains" She blinked, stared, stared a bit more, eyes growing wider, and her jaw dropped. "Uh … Grandpa, I think you're going senile" she said, dropping all formalities that used to be there.

Unbelievably enough, Genryuusai just chuckled and patted her on the head. "Perhaps I have, but I have my reasons for appointing you as the temporary captain. With some help from Kirashi I have also obtained the aid of a couple of your friends to fill in the captain position of the 3rd and 5th divisions" Akina cringed. So, that's where Rayen and Shido had disappeared off to. "But Grandpa, why not just have the Vice-Captains take over?" she asked, slumping down into one of the nearby chairs. Her grandfather scowled, and a slight frown crossed his face. "Your job will not be to just keep the divisions organized, but I also wish for you and your friends to monitor Soul Society carefully for any sort of suspicious behavior. I understand that you have other things to take care of, but I ask this of you as a Grandfather and only ask his Granddaughter" Akina raised a brow at him. "Yup, senile. That did not make any sense whatsoever, but … I'll just smile and nod my head" she laughed weakly, and forced a smile. Genryuusai certainly seemed to cheer up a bit since he smiled and said "Very well, you are now in charge of the 9th division then" Akina sighed heavily and stood up, getting ready to leave, but then she stopped and turned back to her grandfather.

"Um, I need a map first"

Ah hahaha, that …. Was .. really lame, and … didn't make sense. Sorry for the odd title, but, it'll make more sense a little bit later on. This story was spawned one night when I was thinking 'what if Yamamoto had grandkids?' and 'who would take over the divisions with the missing captains?' Things like that, thus, this was spawned.

Next chapter, how does Akina deal with the 9th division and it's Vice-Captain, while trying to study for exams. Sorry, but Rayen and Shido will only be popping up every now and then. And yes, this story is going to take place half within Soul Society, half in the living world.
