I don't own the characters of Bleach but I own the plot of the story.

Chapter 3

I was around the corner of where my new squad where waiting for me, their new Captain. I recently went to my new living quarters to unpack my stuff and make it look more homely. Once I was there I found that on my chair was the Haori that each Captain wears to signify that you are a Captain and has the squad symbol on. When I put it on it felt kind of weird and nice at the same time and surprisingly light for such a lot of material maybe it's because if in battle we will need to move quite a lot so I'm guessing that's why.

The squad seemed to be in discussion of who they might be getting as their new Captain and I chuckled because they don't know what they are in for. I listened behind a wall eavesdropping on them before I introduced myself.

"I heard that we have a woman teaching us" one of the members said.

"Really but wouldn't that make us more of a laughing stock that what we are know!" another replied and I pouted at that.

"But what about Captain Suì Fēng and Unohana they are amazing Captains and also female, maybe she's like them" a third person said and I smiled that someone was sticking up for me.

"Yeh but I heard that she was like us just only yesterday and now she's Captain, she might not be that great just yet!" Replied another, but I pouted more to this. I like to see them try and take that exam because it was no walk in the park I can tell you even though it was kind of easy for me.

"Calm down everyone don't make assumptions until you have met her, she might be what this squad needs" Said a guy that was obviously my Lieutenant because I noticed the band around his arm, plus I have seen him hang out with the other Lieutenants in the pub. I think I can get along with him just fine.

"Ok Lieutenant!" they all said and saluted in synchronisation and I was amazed of what he had done with the squad without a Captain, and he has done amazingly well. But I need a way to let these guys know that I'm no pushover and that they are wrong about me. Ok I need a plan…oh I know!

I got ready for a Flash Step for my target in the middle of the entire squad and hopefully they will move out of the way if they have been trained enough and if not then that's the first thing we are working on. So I only let out a little reiatsu so they could at least know I was around and not a complete sneak attack, I'm not that mean. Then I went for the attack!

As I appeared in the middle of the squad in a flash with my Zanpakuto's raised ready to attack anyone, I got a gasp out of everyone that was in sight of me and my raised sword. The only one that moved out of the way ready to fight was indeed my Lieutenant. Well this is very disappointing. When he realised that I was no threat he placed his Zanpakuto back and gave me a small smile. I placed my Zanpakuto's back as well and returned his smile.

"You must be the new Captain nice to meet you. I'm Lieutenant Izuru Kira and welcome to squad 3" He gave me his right hand and I shook it with acceptance. Everyone around us sighed in relief knowing who I now was.

"Why thank you and I'm Michiko Nakamura your new Captain. Your fast thinking is simply incredible no wonder you're the Lieutenant of this squad" I could see that he blushed at my compliment and fazed it off quickly to remain in order.

"Thank you Captain Nakamura I really appreciate it" he bowed his head to me for his gratitude. Oh this is really weird I am really not used to this, but it feels nice to be shown with respect.

"Haha no worries and don't be too formal with me, I'm not used to it yet just call me Michiko but when we are around other Captains you will have to address me as such." This got a few whispers from the others like 'oh my god she is so cool' or 'we can call her by her first name and not get in trouble' and this made me grin with happiness that I have made great impression on my first day.

"Ok Michiko I'll keep that in mind" he nodded again and stood with the rest of them ready to take my orders.

Ok now what; I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do. I was so used to taking orders from someone else that I don't know how to give them. Ok just remember what Rangiku told you and be yourself and do what I have always done. I took a deep breath and composed my thoughts ready to give my first orders as Captain.

"Right as some of you have no idea when to move ready to strike when someone comes out of nowhere…" most of the quad looked down in embarrassment of what happened before when I snuck up on them and no one moved to attack me other then Lieutenant Kira. "…we are exactly going to practice that. So I want you all to make groups of 5 and one person from each team will take it turns to be the attacker and the others will react to this sudden movement. Don't hesitate to draw your Zanpakuto to a friend because in this exercise that one person is your enemy, be on guard!"

The squad did what I said and got into the teams ready to learn my way of doing things. I noticed that Lieutenant Kira was about to join the others but I stopped him with putting my hand on his shoulder. This was I little harder than I thought because he was so much taller than me and I had to get on the tips of my toes to do it.

"Not you, you're perfectly fine. You did what I expected that all of them should have done so you don't need to do this exercise" a surprised shock become on his face and looked to me for help on what he needed to do.

"But I'm also apart of this squad and need to train with the others" I shook my head.

"No you are my Lieutenant and you will be by my side. I have read on what you can do and it's nothing you need to do at this moment in the training I have prepared for this lot. But if you would like to do something we could always have a spar to keep you occupied and well trained in combat" he gasped in shock for what I said to him and I'm not quite sure what I said to make him look that way.

"What!" I said to him hoping to get an answer and a confused look appeared on my face.

"Erm…well no Captain has ever asked if they wanted to spar with me ever and I'm really no good in combat that much!" he bowed his head in shame and I was surprised that he even thought that much of himself. Like I said I have read on what he has done and he had defeated a few opponents, great Kido skills and healing powers. I wonder why he thinks that low of himself.

"Don't be hard on yourself I know that you are good in combat, your Kido skills are excellent and you used to be in Squad 4 so you can heal as well. Not many people I know can do that so don't look so glum and never put yourself down because that's when your enemy can take that to their advantage!" He looked back into my eyes and slight smile appeared in the corner of his mouth and nodded his head so that he understood me and got back to his composure.

"Ok… Michiko I will take that into consideration" he hesitated on saying my name but that's not surprising considering that he has to address the other Captains in a formally way, which I don't like that much, I like to be equal to the others so they don't feel so intimidated.

"So would you like to have a spar then or would you like to watch the others make fools of themselves trying to save their own asses" I gave out a laugh and he joined me which was nice to hear instead of a gloomy unself-confidence.

"I think I would like to watch for today and spar on another if that's ok" I nodded and sat on the grass ready to watch my squad train and patted the space next to me so he could sit with me. He obliged and sat down next to me with hesitance but I ignored it, it will take time for him to come accustomed to my training and new friendship of a Captain and Lieutenant but I think that he will come around.


After the training was done, I told the squad that they could retire for the day and well deserved rest. But surprisingly Lieutenant Kira said that he would rather prefer to do some unfinished paperwork before he did so. I told him that I could do that but he insisted that he liked doing it and that I needn't worry. So I left him to it even though I did feel kind of felt guilty inside that he was doing my job for me and not being with his friends.

As I was walking through the Squad 3 Barracks I noticed that a Hell Butterfly was heading in my direction. As it landed on my shoulder a message flowed through my reiatsu to the connection of my hearing. 'All Captains' come forward for a meeting immediately in Squad 1 Barracks' beamed the voice of the Head Captain, with that the Hell Butterfly disappeared and I was confused as to why there would be urgency of a Captain's meeting. I haven't heard anything that we could be in threat of but I did what I was ordered and Flash Stepped of to a Captain's meeting.

I can't believe I'm here again only just this afternoon I was getting my title as Captain and now I'm here again as a Captain in a meeting for the first time. I was a little nervous and I wasn't sure when I could speak up or just keep your mouth shut the entire time. Maybe if I was to watch how the other handled these meetings then I might learn a few things.

The thing is that within the line up of all us Captains' I had to be the one that had to stand next to Byakuya Kuchiki of all people…ahh! Ok I didn't hate him but because he never acknowledges me ever it got my dislike of him and that I think he knows it too. As every now and then he glances my way with a stoic expression and then looks forward like I'm nothing. I resisted an urge to stick my tongue out at him but then thought that it was a little childish and not something that a Captain might do…well it would be a Rangiku thing to do.

"It had come to my attention is what we have all feared, she's back!" the Head Captain said and I startled with a jump. I was wondering on what he was talking about, whose back and why is she feared! I listened closely to what he had to say next.

"She has regained her shinigami powers but has not yet made destruction. We need to bring her back here for tests and studies to see the extent of her powers" Ok I still haven't got a clue who the hell he is taking about and I really want to find out.

"Erm…Head Captain, please could I ask of who you are referring to?" I placed my arm in the air like a kid at school to make it seem that I was not out of place and being rude for butting in and eagerness in my voice. He nodded and continued.

"This girl possessed dark aura of a hollow and we kept her in for an experimental testing. We decided to give mercy on her and her shinigami powers were taken. So she was banished from the Soul Society to have a life as a normal human in the World of the Living" I gasped that they would even experiment on another Soul Reaper, but if they knew nothing of this girl and her past then I'm guessing they were just keeping precautions and that she could really do anything with that dark aura she processed.

"So need someone to go to the World of the Living to retrieve her and bring her back" there was commotion in the room as all the Captain were discussing on who should go after this girl and bring her back. Maybe if I go then I can show the others I can do this and that it was no fluke that I became Captain.

"Erm…Please could I go and retrieve her. I may not be accustomed to the World of the Living but if she knows any of the other Captains' she might run and hide but if I go she may not know who I am" There was discussions throughout the room again and this time it was, would it be good idea to let me go.

"I agree with her and that maybe if we went it would be sure that this girl will hide and it will be hard to find her" I glanced to the side of me and found out that it was Byakuya Kuchiki that said this! He's agreeing with me, for me to go off to the World of the Living and take on a dangerous mission. Maybe he thinks I might die out there or something and then he's got rid of me for good. No I don't think that's it, he may possibly not like me but I don't think he would wish for me to die…I hope.

I gave him a brief smile to instigate that I was happy that he agreed with me but he just kept up the blankness expression he always held and turned to face in front of him. I sighed, I shouldn't expect more then that and if he said I could go then I don't think the Head Captain will disagree with him. Unless it was a reckless move which was not very often.

"Fine I will let Captain Nakamura to the World of the Living to retrieve this girl" I was shocked, I'm actually going to World of the Living for a mission and Captain Kuchiki agreed! I tried to hide the giddiness that was inside me and kept up my composure. "Dismissed!" yelled the Head Captain.

As all the Captains departed out of the room, Byakuya stopped in front of me "Don't let us down, I may have agreed to let you go but I still don't think you can do this. Prove me wrong!" with that he was gone. Ok he has never told someone to prove him wrong before, never. So why did he say it to me I wonder? Oh well I will prove you wrong just you wait!

"Captain Nakamura, please come over here for instructions!" the Head Captain said and waved over to his direction. I walked over slowly to him and then stopped waiting for my instructions for my first mission.

"As you haven't been to World of the Living before you will need to be escorted around with your mission. So you will be heading over to Karakura High School for the week and meet up with Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki and they will help you" Wait wasn't Ichigo the substitute Soul Reaper and Rukia is Byakuya's sister. Oh this is going to be fun! I nodded to him meaning that I understood.

"So when will I be leaving Head Captain?" I said with curiosity and bowed my head in the process.

"Immediately! I will tell your squad that you will be away for the week on a mission. So you must go now but when you get there you will need to head to Kisuke Urahara and obtain a Gigai." Nodded again and then I walked out of the door but before I was through the door I needed information that was never given to me.

"Excuse me Sir but what is this girl's name?" he looked deep into my eyes and hesitated for a moment before he answered "Tsuki Hikari previous 3rd seat of squad 2!" Oh dear!


Tsuki Hikari previous 3rd seat of squad 2. So I'm up against a trained assassin and a girl with incredible dark aura. Ok I knew this mission wouldn't be easy but I didn't think that I would have this as my first mission. I sighed as I walk out of the senkaimon in to the World of the Living going over in my head on how I'm going to do this.

I swiped my hair back, a thing I do when I need to think of a plan and glanced around my surroundings to see where I could get started. First I need to get my Gigai from that Kiskue guy before a can do anything, then I need somewhere to stay for the week.

Ok so where is this guy's house? I pulled out a map of the town that Rangiku gave me which I found that she circled all of the shopping locations, I face palmed and wondered how she got anything done when she was here. I looked over to the map and found that she did circle Kiskue's house, for that I'm surprised.

As I Flash Stepped to my location I now realised why she had it circled, it was a convenience store, really? More shopping! But I guess she got to where I needed to be. Oh well no matter I'm here now and all I need to do is ask him for a Gigai.

I knocked on the door and I got no answer, so knocked again "I heard you the first time, I coming!" a voiced said rather groggily "Do you know what time it is!" I didn't have watch or anything so I didn't take notice of what the time was and if the times where different from the Soul Society to here. I shrugged my shoulders even though he couldn't see me.

The next thing I knew the door opened and I could see a shadow of a figure standing in the doorway rather sleepily. I could see in part of the light that he had on was a hat with green and white stripes that shadowed his eyes and what seemed like a haori of that what a Captain wears but black and a green shirt and pants. Was this the man I had to meet?

"Erm…Are you Kiskue Urahara?" he looked blankly at me then he widened his eyes "yes but I didn't call for a sleeping buddy this evening" I choked to that and to think he would have thought I would even do that sort of thing, didn't he realise that I was a Captain of the Soul Society. Maybe he needs his eyes checked or something!

"Excuse me I think not! Do you think I stoop so low to do something like that! Can't you see I'm the Captain of squad 3 of the Soul Society!" I turned around so he could get a full view of my haori and the marking of squad 3.

"Ah now I see, why didn't you say so in the first place? Please come in!" he moved out of the way to let me in but not before I smacked him over the head as I went past which caused him to yelp. I smirked at him and went to sit down in his seating area.

"So why have you come here Captain…" he elaborated on the Captain part thinking of what my name was.

"Michiko Nakamura" I simply said before his brain started to hurt guessing, no one ever knows who I am so why should he.

"Ah so you must be the new Captain they have assigned, good on you for achieving such a position." He smiled at me and I smiled back and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Erm thank you. But the reason I'm here that I need a Gigai from you so I can go to Karakura High School and meet up with Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki for my mission to collect Tsuki Hikari and bring her back to the Soul Society!" he rubbed his chin and thought for a while before he got back to me.

"Ah I see, so she's back then. No wonder I have felt her reiatsu around again but it's not threatening though. So why take her?" his puzzle expression baffled me. I thought I he knew so much about everything that goes on in the Soul Society and wouldn't need my explanation, or he was just being polite. I sighed and answered.

"Well they are worried that she might be taken over by her dark aura and that it may harm the people of this town if she does. So they want to take her back for experimental testing". He nodded to me getting that he understood. He leaned back against the wall "Now I get it you want to catch her and take her back?" I nodded again and I'm getting annoyed now that I'm not getting anywhere with what I want.

"Yes that's exactly it. So could I have a Gigai please" he got up from where he was sitting and I gritted my teeth to his actions and that he didn't answer straight away. "Sure, but not now everyone is asleep and the school will open in the morning, so I'll give you one then" as he was about to walk out the door, then it dawned on me that I have nowhere to go. I pushed aside that of my pride "Erm I have nowhere to sleep so could I well erm, you know…" Why the hell am I stuttering, I'm just going to ask him if I could stay then night…or week. But he is someone that I have never met before and I'm asking if I can stay in his house.

"I thought you weren't that kind of a girl?" A smirked appeared on his lips to insinuate what he was thinking and what happened when I first met him. I groaned and stood up and grabbed his haori. "I just want a place to sleep, BY MYSELF! You Pervert. So do you have an EXTRA room?!" I didn't want to sound aggressive because it's not something I am but he was getting to me and being unreasonable. I let go of him but his smirk was still apparent on his face before he answered. "Sure follow me" with that he walked though the door to find me somewhere to sleep. Oh boy this is going to be a long week!
