I would like to thank the people who have reviewed my story... Although I would like more reviews... Anyways here is chapter 2! I have added a new poll to my profile so feel free to come take it. It's about favorite character in Bleach. Read, vote and review! :)

Natsumi was...lost.

After the meeting, she was trying to find her way back to the 11th division. She should have walked with Miyuki since their divisions were close. Now, she kept walking into dead ends. Groaning in frustration, Natsumi was about to turn around when she felt an enormous reiatsu heading her way.

"What the..."

Suddenly, Natsumi was face to face with her captain, Zaraki Kenpachi. Eyes wide, Natsumi watched as Zaraki Taicho talked with Yachiru.

"Yachiru! This is another dead end!"

"Sorry, Ken-chan! Ah! Look! It's Nat-chan!"

"Huh? Natsumi! Where is the division?" Zaraki was a little embarassed to have to ask one of his subordinates where the division was. He had finally accepted having a woman in the 11th Squad after Natsumi defeated his 3rd seat, Madarame Ikkaku, his fifth seat, Yumichika, and almost everybody else in the squad. Afterwards, Zaraki had requested to fight Natsumi, and if she was deemed a good fighter, he would give her a seat, and finally treat her like an equal. He could tell she hated being treated like a petty weaking.

After Natsumi had accepted the challenge, they had begun the day after. She had invited Kimiko and Miyuki to come watch, but after they came, and before they could begin, a messenger sent from Head captain had ordered them to stop.

"Huh? Why?" Zaraki asked.

"Why are you interfering anyways?" Natsumi demanded. Miyuki and Kimko knew that when Natsumi's fights were interrupted, she got pissed.

"This is an order from the Soutaicho himself. If you have a problem with that, go talk with him." The messenger then stated.

Groaning, the two fighters decided to stop and save the fight for another time. The Taicho then ordered everyone who came to watch to leave. Despite not getting to fight Natsumi, Zaraki decided he'll give her a chance to prove herself.

"Well, a-actually, Taicho, I'm kinda lost myself too..."

"Oh" Zaraki was amused that he was not the only one who had terrible direction skills.

"Ken-chan! Let's go that way!" Yachiru announced.

"Fine." and after ten more minutes, they actually got back to the division and this is why Zaraki still trusts Yachiru for directions.

"Good night, Taicho." Natsumi stated as she walked to her sleeping quarters.

Kimiko was tired. She had spent almost the whole day training. Kimiko always thought of herself as the weakest out of her, Mikyuki, and Natsumi. Now, another thing was added to her list.

Kimiko was a thoughtful and selfless girl. She was worried about Kuchiki Taicho. Unless something dangerous is going to happen or has already happened, why would Soutaicho ask us to watch over our captains?

She was wondering this when suddenly, she tripped over a large stone rock and was about to crash onto the ground when a pair of arms caught her and held her until she was ready to stand again.

"Kuchiki Taicho! Thanks for catching me." Kimiko thanked her Taicho, blushing a shade of light pink at their position.

Kuchiki Byakuya knew she was one of his subordinates and a strong one too. Even though he doesn't look like it, he is very attentive, which also helps him stay alive in battle. So far, he noticed that Kimiko had eyes like Hisana, his late wife. Her smile was also soft and kind.

"Um... Kuchiki Taicho, I can stand now..." Kimiko said.

"Ok." Nodding, he let go of her and now, she stood in front of him, curious as to what he was doing here.

"Kuchiki Taicho, what are you doing here?"

"I was returning to the division when I saw you nearly fall."

"Oh, then, let's return to the division together." Kimiko suggested, smiling brightly.

"Hn."

Taking that as a yes, Kimiko started walking in the direction of the 6th division barracks with Byakuya walking next to her.

Occasionally, they made small talk. Kimiko enjoyed spending time like this with her captain.

This is all happening at the same time...:

Miyuki, Natsumi, and Kimiko all stood in their captains' office.

"Miyuki, in two weeks, the Soutaicho is having a party at the 1st division and I want you to come with me." Hitsugaya Taicho stated.

"Oh. Okay, I'll come with you." Miyuki answered, smiling softly at Toshiro, making him blush slightly.

"Kimiko, in two weeks, the Soutaicho is having a party at the 1st division and I want you to come with me." Kuchiki Taicho stated.

"Okay! I would be honored to go with you." Kimiko responded, beaming.

"Hey, Natsumi, in two weeks, the Soutaicho is having a party at the first division and you're coming too." Zaraki Taicho stated.

"Why?" Natsumi asked, temporarily forgetting that she was supposed to be keeping a close eye on her Taicho.

" Cause I said so. And I heard you're friends are coming too."

"Oh, fine, I'll go with you."

The only problem was that none of the Captains had asked for permission to bring a guest along. They were planing to ask the Soutaicho the next day and who knows what Yamamato will say...

Yay! Read, review and vote! Thanks! :D
