PROLOUGUE
After Kurosaki Ichigo got his powers back, the Gotei 13 was notified and offered him a position in the Gotei 13. He accepted and was offered three spots: the Third, the Fifth, or the Ninth. He chose the Fifth. So he was now Kurosaki Ichigo, Taichou of Division 5.
While he was there, he noticed that the Gotei 13 was different than the Winter War and the events preceding it. Lieutenants Matsumoto and Hinamori had been demoted on Hitsugaya's request, Matsumoto because of depression caused by Gin's death and Hinamori for her own safety, and both were now the Third Seats of their Division, Byakuya had finally placed Rukia in a seated position, and there was already a new tenth Division Lieutenant, Kokuo Ame.
A few days later, they found two new Captains, Hizashi Suko and Takenouchi Andre (Ichigo's cousin), and the new Thirteenth and Fifth Lieutenants, Doragon Aoi and Ogami Himeko. There were also new seated members that Ichigo thought stood out, like Hizashi Suki, Ichimonji Hari, and Ichimonji Taisen.
Back in Karakura Town, Urahara, Yoruichi, Tessai, Chad, Orihime, and Uryuu had found a new substitute to replace Ichigo, Touin Keiti. Don't worry, Ichigo still visited them every once in a while when he had time, just to make sure they were fine.
But little did Karakura and the Gotei 13 know that there was a new evil rising, with an evil plan of revenge on the Soul Society that could possibly work…
~CHAPTER 1: Introductions, Anyone?~
Kokuo Ame walked down the hall in a hurry. Why was she in a hurry? She had five minutes to get down to the Lieutenants meeting in the Squad One barracks, or she would be late.
Kokuo Ame was the new Lieutenant of the Tenth Division and had been for about three weeks now, and everyone could see the badge around her left forearm. She had mid-back, sky-blue hair with some white streaks in it. Her eyes were a metallic silver-blue color and her height was around 4'8", which was fortunately shorter than her Captain, who had hit a growth spurt that he needed and was now around 4'10".
Ame's day was usually spent in this order: wake up, do the usually morning routine, go to the Lieutenant meeting (if there was one), get breakfast, do paperwork, get lunch, do more paperwork, hang out with her friends during her free time, get dinner, maybe do some more paperwork, and finally get a shower and go to bed. Yeah. Fun day.
Ame itched and ached for a mission in the World of the Living. She had heard that there was a new Subsitute Shinigami there, and she wanted to meet him. She also wanted to go because she had heard about the Hitsugaya Advanced Squad's adventures when they were there. According to Rangiku, long term missions were fun. However, according to Hitsugaya-taichou, they were a drag. But Ame thought it was always fair to hear both sides of the story before making a judgment.
It took Ame almost walking into a wall to get her to realize that she was already at her destination. She opened the doors and walked inside. She checked the time and was thankful that she got there one minute early.
The meeting was sort of boring, but Ame paid attention anyway. There was really nothing to discuss. Everything was peaceful and in order just as it should be and was before Aizen betrayed the Soul Society.
After the meeting, Ame saw her best friend, or one of them, walking away to the Division Thirteen barracks, Doragon Aoi.
Aoi was about five feet tall, with shoulder-length indigo hair with electric blue tips. Her electric blue bangs criss-crossed at her eyes, sort of covering them. When she did show her eyes, they were a brilliant electric blue color with black slits for pupils. The reason for this was because she was a dragon humanoid, so her skin was really smooth, indigo scales and she had no chest or curves that ordinary girls, like Ame, did. Her face looked like a dragon, and her teeth were sharp and she had a few fangs. Her ears were pointed, fin-like ears. Her fingers were thinner anf more flexible than a normal human or Shinigami, and her nails were silver claws that were strong enough to cut through a hollow's mask. Her feet were three-silver-clawed dragon feet, and she had a four-foot long, whip-like dragon tail. She also wore her badge on her left forearm. People said she was weird, but Ame didn't mind. It was Aoi's personality that counted to her, not her looks.
"Aoi-chan!" Aoi turned and smiled at her best friend.
"Hello, Ame-chan. How are you this morning?"
"Tired. Rangiku-san made me stay up and finish the paperwork with her. So I didn't get to bed until 11:30," Ame said, stifling a yawn.
"Well, it's her paperwork. You shouldn't be doing it for her," Abarai Renji, Sixth Lieutenant, said from the other side of Ame.
"Shut up, Renji!" Ogami Himeko, Fifth Lieutenant. "She's just being a good friend!"
"Did I ask you?" Renji shouted back.
"Be quiet, you guys," Aoi said. "The Captains are still in their meeting."
It was true. They had all come up to the Captains' meeting room. The doors were closed, so that meant that there was a meeting in progress. All the Lieutenants decided to stay behind to go back to their offices with their Captains.
"Hey, Ame-chan," Aoi said. "How's it going with You-Know-Who?"
Ame blushed and her heart skipped a beat. Everyone knew that she had the biggest crush on her Captain, all besides the person she had a crush on. Ame figured that since they always hung out together, that Hitsugaya and Hinamori were dating. So she stayed away, but seeing them together made her heartache. (Anyone else know what that's like?)
"How's your Captain behaving, Himeko-chan?" Ame asked, deciding the change the subject.
"Still acting like a kid," she said, in a stubborn and grudgingly kind of way.
"Kurosaki-taichou still technically is a kid," Kira Izuru said. "He's the youngest Shinigami out of all the Gotei 13."
"What is he, like 16?" Hisagi Shuhei asked.
"17," Himeko said. "He'll be 18 soon in about six more months. Remember, he just finished his final year in High School."
"Well, appearance-wise, Kusajishi Yachiru is the youngest Shinigami."
"Yeah, Ame, but we mean age-wise," Renji said.
Ame's face now held a light pink blush. "Shut up, Renji-kun."
The doors were opening now, and Captains were starting to come out. Zaraki Kenpachi and Kurotsuchi Mayuri came out first, arguing as usual.
"Ken-chan!" Yachiru jumped on his shoulder while Nemu stood beside her 'father'.
The two Captains looked at each other, each with an expression of the deepest loathing and then turned away to their own barracks and started walking. Hizashi Suko and Takenouchi Andre came out next, just chatting away at random things.
Hizashi Suko was the new Captain of Division Nine. He had blond-brown hair that appeared disheveled and was swept to the right side. His eyes were forest green, and he always had a kind smile on his face. He was the movie-star kind of guy, which made him the ultimate chick magnet and he was around 6'2".
Takenouchi Andre was Ichigo's older cousin and the new Captain of Division Three. He was about six feet tall, and had messy brown hair and a pair of chocolate brown eyes to match.
Their lieutenants joined them, and as Hizashi-taichou passed Ame he gave a kind smile to her and said, "Hey, Ame-chan."
"Hello," Ame responded, with the smile as he had.
All the other lieutenants went with their Captains, all except Himeko, Renji, Aoi, and Ame. The peered into the room to find their Captains, chatting away, more like arguing a bit. They went inside and stood beside their respective Captains.
Himeko grabbed her Taichou's arm and said, "Well, I apologize for making this conversation short, but my Captain and I have some paperwork that we must be doing right now." With that, the hardcore Lieutenant, also Yamamoto's granddaughter, dragged her Captain Kurosaki Ichigo out of the room and all the way to their barracks.
"We should probably be going too, Abarai," Kuchiki Byakuya said.
"Hai, taichou," the red-head said, and those two walked out.
"Well, Aoi-san, let's get going," Ukitake Jyuushiro said to Ame's best friend.
After those two walked out, Hitsugaya Toushirou turned to Ame, who lightly blushed when he did, and said, "We have no more business here, Kokuo, so let's go. Besides, I don't really trust Matsumoto to run the Division all by herself."
"Hai," Ame said, following her Captain out.
