Number Three:

Life Less Frightening


Recap:

"Shi-chan were are we going?" Yuzuki asked.

"Eleventh Company. The Ultimate Combat Squad. They're a little bit rough, but are a very important part of the Goetei 13." he explained.

Yuzuki made and 'o' with her mouth.

"Alright off to Eleventh Company."


Yuzuki looked around, things were so...well...stinky here. The smell in the air was of sweat and...is that booze? What kind of crazy Company is this? But Yuzuki seemed fine. A smile on her pale face, and not even a little bit phased.

Kaien was very surprised at this.

"Eh? Is that you, Shiba-kun?" It was a woman, who stood just a little bit below Kaien, her hair was short dark green, and her eyes a bright piercing blue, her shihakusho was open slightly at the chest, revealing some of her cleavage, and she wore a white haori over her shoulders. She grinned lightly. "You came to visit me, eh?"

Kaien chuckled. "Well, sorta. I have paper work for you, from Urahara-tachiou."

The woman sighed. "Urahara-san can't deal with his own shit."

Yuzuki looked at her, her presence and aura were very strong. Catching Yuzuki's attention the moment Yuzuki had laid eyes on her.

"Who's the twerp?" The woman asked, seeing Yuzuki's full attention on her.

"This is Yuzuki, she's a new recruit in Twelfth Company, I guess I'm giving her a tour around the Company's."

"So you got demoted, eh, now?" she smirked.

He scoffed. "As if."

"Well, how's that sister and brother of yours?" The woman asked.

"Rowdy as ever, Kakuku beat the living daylights of Ganji..." he scratched the back of his head. "They're growing so fast."

"Heh. Sound like you got some work on your hands. Plus this kid here." her blue eyes sat on Yuzuki's face, and Yuzuki grinned, and the woman blinked, the grin reminded her so much of Kisuke Urahara.

'Hmmm...interesting...'

"Hey girl, you got a weapon? In a mood for a spar?" The Tachiou grinned with delight.

Yuzuki looked at her, and tilted her head. "A weapon...what's that?"

The Tachiou looked at Kaien and annoyed look on her face. "You've got to let me teach this kid some vocabulary."

Kaien scratched the back of his head. "Well, I'm not sure she'd want to know your vocabulary in paticaular..."

"Well, anyways, I'm going to turn this little girl into one mean fighting machine! In one week she'll be looking like my mini-me!" The Tachiou said, dramatically.

"Eh...as if..." Kaien sighed.

Yuzuki looked up at this woman. She had captivated her mind.

"What your name?" Yuzuki asked the Tachiou.

She grinned. "Yachiru Manitako."

"Wanna be friends?"

"Sure, I don't see why not, kid."


Kaien sighed. This was sure one heck of a day. The Tachiou of Eleventh Company...Having a friend? Ha. Not even the Fukutachiou of the Company liked Yachiru Manitako...and yet this new mysterious girl does?

Weird.

Just freaking weird.

Kaien sighed, turning out of the Eleventh Company with Yuzuki on his shoulders.

"Yachi-chan was nice, Shi-chan!" Yuzuki told him.

"You've really changed the meaning of the word."

"What's that mean?"

Kaien sighed. "Nevermind. Here. Look it's Tenth Company."


Ursula Reynolds sighed. She was sixteenth Seat in Fourth Company, the lowest Company out of all of them. Today her job was to...well...clean out the toilets in Tenth Company.

And boy...

The Tachiou of Tenth Company really stunk.

She gulped, wiping a small bead of sweat from her forehead pushing back her short brown spikey hair, her blue shaded eyes turned from a light blue to a dark determined blue. She raised up her toilet scrubber and held her breath, scrunching her eyes together tightly.

"FOR CAPTAIN UNOHANA!" (Lol like off Narnia. "FOR NARNIA!" lol.)

And ran into the stall.

Man. Fourth Company had it that bad? Yes.

Personally, she'd rather be in Twelfth Company, with the man she admired, she tried so hard to become part of Twelfth Company under Kisuke Urahara. Her intelligence was above normal in the Academy, but because of her healing abilities and good use of Kido, she was placed in Fourth Company.

Ursula gasped for air as she ran out of the stall. "Thank Kami (God)...that was really tough..."

"Hey, you okay? Yuzuki heard you gasping! You alright?" A young girl with dark black hair, and green eyes, and a purple flower printed kimono on, was staring down at her.

"Um..I'm fine...just...cleaning out the Tenth Company's Tachiou's stall out...um...who are you?"

"Yuzuki is Yuzuki! Nice to meet you!"

Ursula tilted her head to the side. "Um...nice to meet you too? I'm Ursula. Ursula Reynolds. Sixteenth Seat of Fourth Company."

"Is that the bathroom?" Yuzuki asked pointing to the one she just cleaned.

Ursula sweatdropped. "Y-Yes...um..."

"Thank you!" and Yuzuki sped into the bathroom.

Ursula sighed. "I just cleaned that one...but alright then..."
