Chapter 1: Of Coffee, Captain meetings and Paperwork
Yoru Tora yawned as she walked into her office. Her black coat swaying behind her made a soft swish. Her black hair was held high in a ponytail, unusual because it was usually down like a cape. She looked at her desk and groaned. There was a pile of paperwork. Oh how she hated paper work! It was that one thing in life that she hated more than bugs. Hell she spend a day with bugs just so she wouldn't do paperwork! Tora plopped down into her seat and picked up the first piece of paperwork. It was a memo telling her that the next captain meeting was at 12pm. It was 7am right now. Tora groaned. Damn why did she ever agree to be captain? Why hadn't she listened to her ikoto, Kira? She could still be sleeping! At that moment Momo waltzed in. She held a mug in her hand. The smell of French vanilla coffee filled the room. "Momo is that coffee I smell? More importantly is that French vanilla coffee I smell?" Momo giggled. "Yes Taichou.I had a feeling you had a bad start to your morning so I made some for you." Momo placed it on Tora's desk. "Thank you Momo. You really are a lifesaver." Momo bowed and left the office. Tora glared at her paperwork and hoped it would burn. "Sorry Mistress-sama but I am a darkness and light zanpakuto," Onmyō, her zanpakuto spirit said with a giggle. "Not helping Onmyō….." Tora quickly got to work on the papers that needed to be signed and read.
~3 hours later~
"Finally!" Tora yelled. She did a little dance around her office. She was finish. "Yes!" Just then Momo entered. "Taichou…." Tora looked at Momo and growled. Momo held a pile of paperwork. "Please tell me that those are just blank pieces of paper or that you just need me to sign it?" Momo giggled nervously. "Sorry Taichou but its more paperwork for you to read and sign." Tora's reaistu became very dark. "You have got to be kidding me!" "Your meeting starts in a hour as well. Why don't you get going Taichou?" Tora grumbled under her breath as she grabbed her coat and left for this meeting.
Tora glared at Mayuri. He had been giving her creepy looks since she arrived. Damn it! Where was Nemu when you needed her? Tora pinched the bridge of her nose. "Yoru-san are you okay?" Byakuya asked interrupting her inner rant. "Yes Kuchiki-san, just tired and in need of a good cup of coffee." Byakuya snorted. "That drink from the human world is disgusting and unfit for a captain." Onmyō was doing everything in his power to calm Tora down. The other captains slowly started to pour in. Tora stood in her spot across from Byakuya and next to Komamura. "Hello Sajin-san," Tora said. "Hello Yoru-san." "Let's begin," Old man Yama said.
"And last but not least, you will all be receiving some reports on the activity of the human world. I except you to read them and write a report on it." Tora was doing everything in her power not to twitch right now. It felt like she was in school! She finally understood why Ichigo always complained when his teachers gave him so much reports to do. Komamura sensed her annoyance and put a hand on her shoulder. "Is something wrong Yoru-Taichou?" Old man Yama asked. "She is just felling a little under the weather," Komamura said. "All that coffee could be the cause of it," Byakuya said. Tora twitched. "Kuchiki-san." "Yes Yoru-san?" "I am going to strangle you in your sleep," Tora said. She smiled a sickly sweet smile that made Byakuya shiver (Not that he would show it.) Old man Yama cleared his throat. "Anyway you are all dismissed and Yoru-san?" "Yes Old man Yama?" "Get some rest and don't kill off my 6th division captain." "Okay Old man Yama." The captains filtered out the room. "I can do some of your paperwork for you Mistress-sama." "You would do that?!" "Yes I would Mistress-sama but may I please be allowed to have a cup of your coffee?" "I knew there was a catch but fine." Tora walked back to her office and looked at the pile of paperwork. "Thank goodness for Momo." Momo had left two mugs and a pitcher of coffee on the desk. "Oh of Coffee and Paperwork." Onmyo laughed as he poured them both a cup of coffee.
