The White Hair Club
Yamamoto decides that all the captains must form clubs for social purposes, so Ukitake forms a white hair club with all the other white, gray, or silvered haired soul reapers.

"This captain's meeting is now called to order!" Yamamoto boomed as he banged his staff against the floor, "Toady we will be discussing your private lives. It is my opinion that, with the exceptions of Captains Zaraki and Kyoraku, you all do too much work and therefore need a hobby so you don't get too stressed and snap. I will not see any more of my captains sent to the psyche ward. It would also be a good opportunity to learn more about the mebers you would not normally associate with."
"So what's the plan, old man?" Kyoraku asked casually.
"The plan," Yamamoto said with an irritated voice, "is to have each captain form a club or join the club of another captain. All lieutenants will also be required to join a club, but a captain must be present to lead the club. Seated officers or unseated officers with the recommendation of two captains may also join. If a captain cannot find at least two other members for their club, they must join the club of another captain. The lieutenants have already been informed of this by my lieutenant, and a notice will be posted on squad bulletin boards for seated officers."
"But wait, you said Zaraki and I were exceptions, so we don't have to do it right?" Kyoraku asked slyly.
"I said you were not too stressed, by which I mean you are not stressed enough. You will each join a club because you are plagued with too much free time," Yamamoto answered bluntly. "Also, the department of R and D is similar enough to a club activity that Captain Kurotsuchi will not be required to join or form a club."
"I'm glad at least you recognize it's significance," Mayuri said sarcastically, though he was actually relieved his work would not be interrupted for a club. Everyone else was relieved they would not be in a club with him.
"Does everyone understand?" Yamamoto asked the group.
"Yes head captain!" came their reply.
"Dismissed!"
As the captains filed out of the hall, Ukitake caught up with Toshiro. "So what kind of club are you going to make?" he asked the child prodigy. "I have no idea," Toshiro responded with an air of disdain. "You know, we should be in a club together!" Ukitake said brightly. "Why?" Toshiro asked, "The only thing we have in common is our white hair." "Then we'll be the White Hair Club!" the older captain announced excitedly. The younger captain sighed, "I don't have a choice, do I?"
Soifon was thinking happy thoughts as she walked out of the hall. "I'm going to make a cat fanclub!" she said to herself gleefully but quietly. However, she was overheard. "Excuse me, did you say you were going to make a 'cat' fanclub?" Komamura inquired. "Yeah, that's right," Soifon answered blankly. "Well, can I join?" The furred captain asked eagerly. "Oh, you want to join?" Soifon asked, confused. "What? Am I not allowed to?" Komamura asked with disappointment. "No," Soifon responded, "I just figured you'd be more of a 'dog' person." Komamura answered, "It's okay, I get that a lot."
As Byakuya strolled away from the hall, Unohana asked him, "Do you have any ideas for a club, Captain Kuchiki?" Byakuya stopped walking and responded, "I was planning to form a literary arts club." "Do you mean poetry?" The healer asked. "That is exactly what I mean," the noble replied, "Members of the club would study the works of famous poets and share favorite and original poems with the group." "That sounds pleasant. May I join?" Unohana asked. "I would be honored to have you as a member," Byakuya responded respectfully.
Shunsui remained behind in the hall. "So what club are you starting?" he asked the head captain. "Are you crazy!" Yamamoto responded indignantly, "I have way too much work to do to be involved in this club nonsense!" "Uh huh," Kyoraku sweat-dropped.
As he exited the hall, the lazy captain was approached by a frantic lieutenant. "Captain Kyoraku!" she shouted to get his attention. "Huh, Rangiku, what's up?" he asked her calmly. "Captain Kyoraku, I need you to be the president for our Liquor Critique Club," Matsumoto told him. "Really, what do you mean by that?" Kyoraku asked, puzzled. Rangiku explained, "Basically we're a group of elite sake gourmets who tour the Rukon district and rate the specialty drinks of each bar based on flavor, color, texture, and consistency. Then after we're done with that, we get so drunk we can barely see." Kyoraku blinked, "So it's a drinking club?" "Yep," Rangiku responded cheerfully.
"A drinking club, huh?" Kenpachi had noticed the commotion Rangiku was causing and decided to see what it was about. "I'm smart enough to know the old man's not gonna let me start another fight club, so a drinking club's the next best thing. I want in," the violent captain told them with a sinister smile. "Sure," Rangiku replied, "Two captains is better than one!"
And so the captains were paired off. The young with the old. The big with the small. The warm with the cool. The pacifist with the belligerent. Then Mayuri and S. G. aren't mentioned because they're mostly boring and keep to themselves.

A/N: Though not officially a club, I believe the "Leave me alone, I have work to do!" Club still deserved mention for whatever reason. Please review with your ideas for club activities, I want this story to be focused on the White Hair Club, but their will be side stories involving the other clubs.
