Would you Love me if you knew what I was?
Chapter One: She's staying with who!?
Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Bleach. If I did, then the third movie would be out and there would be better English subbers.
Yeah, I finally revised the first chapter, hehe. It's not too different. It's just more descriptive. I hope that people can catch on faster like this. I dunno.
Hitsugaya Toshiro sat as comfortably as he could while signing the papers that his vice captain, Matsumoto Rangiku, always left for him to do. It wasn't like he could just tie her up in a chair and threaten her to do it.
First of all, the rope would break from the pressure in her…Err, upper body.
A knock disturbed the usual silence in his office as he continued working. "Who is it," When the door opened, he noted that it was his vice captain from the corner of his eye.
"Taicho," she greeted with a small wave that seemed…cheery. Too cheery," How are you?"
He stopped and rubbed his temples," I would be better if you could do your work on time, Matsumoto."
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot," she added as if she didn't hear him," A letter came for you from the sixth division. It needs the utmost attention at once. At least that's what the messenger told me."
"Alright," he said and took it from her hands. She had turned to leave but not without letting a cat-like grin spread to her lips.
Once opening the letter, he skimmed through it with mild interest. However, the more he read, the more noticeable the frown on his face became. At the very end was the climax though and his eyes widened.
"MATSUMOTO!!"
A girl stood in front of the office door and let out a silent swallow in her throat. Fully dressed in her attire and ready with her resolve, she knocked on the door gently.
"Come in," answered a stoic male voice from the other side of the door. With a deep breath, she slid it open and walked through.
The office wasn't at all decorated for that of a noble or that of a commoner. It was more between. A couch was more centered with a coffee table in front of it. The basically the middle of the room was like a living room. In front was the almighty desk where the captain sat doing work and to the left and right of him were two tall book shelves.
Teal eyes met with her slightly startled violet ones as she quickly bowed her head in respect," O-Ohayo gozaimasu! My name is Miyamoto Yumiko. It's a pleasure to meet you and join this squad, Taicho."
He studied her features for a moment when she stood upright once more. She looked about the same age as he. Her brown hair was short, only up to her shoulders, and her eyes were a viola in bloom, a truly rare eye color.
Then again, icy emerald eyes weren't common as well
Hitsugaya silently mused to himself before standing up from his seat and walking to the side of his desk," Hitsugaya Toshiro, as you must have already been informed. You must be the new assistant, am I correct?"
"Ah, yes!" she answered with a moment of hesitation. Mentally, he shook his head. This girl was in for a world of hell if she was going to work in this division considering his Fukutaicho.
"Well then," Hitsugaya gestured behind the newbie," Matsumoto Rangiku will show you to your office. It's across from mine so if you have any questions while starting out just knock."
Yumi turned around to see a taller woman with strawberry blonde locks and a very large…You know what? You already know what I'm talking about anyway so why bother with the wording...
"Yo," she greeted with a cheery wink. Seeing that this person was much less uptight, Yumi smiled and bowed to her new captain before leaving the room. When she did, Hitsugaya sighed in agitation.
"This is going to be hell."
The captain couldn't help but take one more glance at the letter he had received recently.
Dear Hitsugaya Toshiro,
We have come to inform you that a new threat might come upon Soul Society. This girl, Miyamoto Yumiko, is somehow connected to our 'Problems' these past few days. So this would clearly mean that she is an important factor in our mission. So, your job is to protect her at all costs. However, she, nor any other, cannot know of this operation that is to take place.
Her memories of her past are unknown for she has stated that she cannot remember anything but her name and trivial matters. Guard her with your life and whatever you do, do not let the Hollows get to her at all costs.

Then another small paper fell from the envelope as he read it. This time he almost fainted. He crumpled it up and shot it in the trash can. The only thing that was eligible now was:
P.S. The girl will be staying...
He quickly took the other note and put it in a locked drawer and put the key in a small wooden box with a rose carved on the top. Then he left his office for some fresh air.
After some short introductions (And getting the okay for a nickname), the vice-captain unlocked the door and handed the girl the key.
"Here we go, Yumi-Chan! Here's your office but it also doubles as separate quarters if you want. There's a small kitchen on the left in case you get hungry while working and a bathroom on the right for…well, you know," started Matsumoto.
"Thank you so much, Matsumoto-San!" Yumi expressed her gratitude in a polite manner. It was important for her to keep her loud and hyper self out, just for today.
In response, Matsumoto laughed a bit," It's alright, Yumi-Chan. You can call me Rangiku if you want!"
"Alright Matsu—"she stopped herself and slowly fixed herself," Rangiku-Chan…?"
"That's it," the older woman beamed, but then a thoughtful and curious look dawned upon her," Ne, Yumi-Chan?"
"Mm?"
"Where are you staying for the night? I know you're new to the division and was probably given barracks but,"
Yumi's cheeks lit up like a hot flame which only added to the vice-captain's interest. She looked to the floor in something akin to mortification and embarrassment.
"I wasn't exactly assigned a separate…barrack." Yumi began," Promise not the laugh if I tell you?"
"I promise!"
"Erm…" she fiddled with her fingers until finally finishing," Hitsugaya Toshiro… I'm staying with the captain for the time being."
Well, it got revised at last I will repeat. Whew, I hope it's easier to follow. Man, this story is like a year old...oh well! XD
