After parting ways with Samira and Laura I returned to my room. Grabbing my large messenger bag from its place by the front door I started packing. As I passed my mirror I gave myself a quick once over; I was wearing my usual outfit accompanied by my choker saying what my position was. My bare feet, however, were probably going to be strange so I decided to pack a pair of flip flops.
"Drawing and writing stuff, laptop, PSP, DS, DS and PSP games, iPhone, head phones, clothes, hairbrush and tooth brush." Nodding to myself I glanced at the clock; I still had an hour left before I was supposed to be at the meeting place. Sighing I went off to find my lazy-assed lieutenant Ryouko.
He was a good lieutenant but he really like to laze about. Relaxing a little I probed out within his my Reiatsu. He was in his favorite place; the game room. Using my flash step I was there in a few moments. As I came in something flew at the right side of my head.
"WOAH!" I cried, flinching back.
Ryouko was standing to the right of the door holding onto a large baseball bat. The look on his face said that he had not been expecting me to walk through the door like I did. I glared at him and he sheepishly put the bat down with a goofy grin on his face. Right now I could tell that he was just trying to save face. After what he just did there was bound to be a long lecture and some kind of chore to do for a week or so.
"Why did you do that? You know I'm blind in my right eye. Why?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.
"I thought you were someone else, Captain. That's all." He mumbled scratching the back of his head while staring at the ground.
"You really need to pay more attention to your surroundings, Ryouko. If I hadn't been as focused as I was you could have seriously hurt me." I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose between my thumb and index finger.
"Sorry…" he mumbled in a soft voice.
With a soft laugh I told him to relax and that he was going to be in charge of our division for a while. He looked up and stared at me for a moment in bewilderment. Nodding I started walking out of the room. Quick footsteps told me that he was following close behind me. Glancing back over my left shoulder I noticed his dark blue eyes grow even darker with concern.
Shaking my head I started heading toward Laura's room. Ryouko was still following me by the time I got there and he almost bumped into me when I stopped. Again I glared at him over my shoulder and he scratched the back of his head as he apologized. Looking back I knocked on the door. A voice echoed from within the room.
"Who the fuck is it?"
"It's Astral Seto, Captain of Division Ten!" I replied putting my hands on my hips.
"Shit!" was the reply and there were a few small crashes followed by more cursing before the door swung open.
Laura Schwartz stood in the doorway dressed as she normally would in a tank-top showing her flat stomach, short shorts, wiled-assed knee socks and bright pink Converse tennis shoes. Her short, blond hair was a mess but her face showed that she was sorry about the way that she was sorry about the way she spoke to me.
"Sorry about that, Captain. What's up?" she asked leaning against the door frame.
"Well, what's up is that it's almost time to meet up with Samira and head off to the JSS. Are you ready?" I replied cocking an eyebrow and putting my hands on my hips.
"Oh! Yeah. I'm ready. Just let me get my things really quickly!" Laura said as she disappeared back into her room.
I sighed at the large amount of cursing and the noises that rose from the room. Ryouko gave me a nervous look and I gave him one in return that said 'Do you want to become captain right now?' His eyes widened as he got my meaning and shook his head. After a few more moments of listening to God knows what and Laura's cursing she reappeared in the door frame lugging a large pink suitcase full to bursting.
"Shall we go, Captain?" she asked brightly.
"Yeah…" I mumbled turning away again grateful that I was not her captain.
We moved off quickly despite Laura's load. We soon reached the meeting place and were greeted by the other captains and their lieutenants. Samira was saluting her lieutenant, Henry, when we walked up. I gave Ryouko a quick salute of my own before turning to the Senkaimon.
"I want a weekly report, ok?" Head Captain Foxx told us as we stepped up to the Senkaimon.
We nodded and she hugged all of us quickly. She then ushered us all into the Senkaimon.
"Good luck!" she called out as we all turned and waved.
The door closed in front of us with a soft click. Samira turned around and took the lead. The JSS was about to be taken by storm. I just hope they were ready for this kind of storm.
