Toshiro's eye twitched when he walked into his office. Sake bottles scattered the floor and a drunk Rangiku laid spread out on the couch. She hadn't touched her paperwork.

"Matsumoto! Get up!" He growled. Rangiku opened her eyes and put a hand on her forehead.

"Come on captain lighten up! Have a drink every now and then!" She said. Toshiro glared at her.

"If this mess is not cleaned up by the time I get back. I will punish you." With that he stormed out of the office.

Rangiku sighed. Luck seemed to be on her side. Just then Hanataro from squad 4 walked by. She let a mischievous grin grace her lips.

"Heyy Hanataro!" She waved him over. He gulped,obviously nervous, and walked over to her.

"Y-yes Lieutenant?" He looked up at her nervously.

"Will you clean this mess up for me?" She asked with a puppy dog look.

"U-um…. Y-yes M-ma'am!" Hanataro said. He then began picking up bottles and throwing them away,

"While you're at it..Will you do my paperwork as well?" She asked once again. Hanataro sighed and nodded. "GREAT!"

He sighed again. Rangiku left with a giggle then went to look for Ikkaku.

"Ikkaku!" Rangiku yelled.

"What do you want?!" He said obviously irritated.

"Let's go drinking tonight!" She stated. He instantly light up. He couldn't say no to a drink/

"Alright. Who is all going?" He asked.

"Me, you, Ukitake, Kira, Shunsui, Renji, Maybe Yumichika!" She listed a couple more soul reapers..

"Alright I'm in! Oi! Yumichika you up for drinking tonight?" He looked at the boy staring at

his reflection.

"Sure I guess." he shrugged.

"Great!" She smiled and left.

**********Later on that day***********

Ikkaku, Rangiku, Yumichika, Ukitake, Renji, Shunsui, and several other soul reapers, all sat in Toshiro's quarters. Rangiku pulled out many Sake bottles. However, her luck seemed to run short. Toshiro happened to walk in at that moment. Everyone in the room scattered, except Kira.

"Well well so you've been hiding sake in my quarters, have you?" Toshiro's voice was laced with anger

"Captain..I can...explain" She protested. "It's Izuru fault!"

"RANGIKU!" She flinched. "You will clean this mess up and you will be your OWN paperwork for now on. I walked in earlier and Hanataro, from squad 4, was doing YOUR paperwork. The room was also cleaned so I assumed her also cleaned the room."

"Captain," Rangiku whined. Toshiro crossed his arms and glared at the orange haired woman.

"No complaints. I don't want to hear you whining. Now get started," he sat down in his chair. He watched her every move, making sure she wouldn't try to escape.

"Captain!" a soul reaper rushed into his office.

"What is it?" he grumbled.

"The black flamed sword...it's gone!" he said. Toshiro stood up.

"What do you mean it's gone?" he asked with wide turquoise eyes.

"It's gone. Head Captain sensed something was wrong and checked on the sword and it was gone. Like it vanished!" He explained.

"Impossible!"

"Do you think someone has stolen it?" he asked

"It's possible but no one is able to wield the sword," Toshiro looked out the window behind him. The Zanpakuto chooses it's master.

"Where could it have gone?" he thought as he stared out the window.

It was then announced that there was a Captain's and Lieutenant meeting. Toshiro and Rangiku rushed past the soul reaper.

"Captain," Rangiku began,"What is this sword?"

"The sword is very powerful, or so we've been told. No one knows it capabilities because no one is able to wield it," he explained. Rangiku nodded and soon enough they arrived.

Everyone waited for the rest to arrive which didn't take long.

"What is this all about?" Gin Ichimaru asked.

"The sword that was locked up has gone missing," head captain Yamamoto announced.

"Missing?" Kenpachi raised an eyebrow. Honestly he was interested in this sword. it was rumored to be the most powerful sword in the Seireitei.

"Yes. Either it has found it's master or someone, somehow stole it. All of you are to keep a look out for it," his eyes scanned the room.

"How will we know what it looks like?" Aizen wondered.

"The sheath has a red flame on it. It circles the sword. And its Aura is unique and dangerous." he said. Everyone nodded and he dismissed everyone.

"How dangerous can a single sword be?" Toshiro thought to himself as he walked back to his barracks.
