Chapter 1

"Zacharia, go and clean the privies in the bath house," Canumichi told the newest member of the 10th court guard squad. Canumuchi hated this newbie so much because the girl was getting more attention then her from the Captain. Sure he only lectured her about the proper conduct of a soul reaper, but those were what Canumichi Mayegumi wanted.

Zacharia raised one perfect ebony black eyebrow at Canumichi because, well she had gotten taken off privy duty yesterday. Yawning she stood up and said, "I guess that perv of a Lieutenant hasn't told the next person it was their turn to clean the privies."

Laughing, Rongiku came in to the room. "Hello, Canumichi, Ria. Canumichi, I have been looking for you every where. The Captain told me to tell you that it is your turn to clean the bathhouse. Ria, a silver haired look- a- like of you is out side saying that she was waiting for you for the last half hour." As Rongiku finished speaking she looked around the room to find herself alone in the house that Ria lived in. Breathing out she walked out of the building mumbling to herself, "Thank Kami, I didn't hear any snide comments from that kid while I was in there."
