Toushirou POV
In the meeting room in Gotei 13 at Seireitei
That girl, Shirosaki Rin just left the meeting. I couldn't believe that she was the shinigami that I saw before. She had onyx colored eye and shoulder length raven hair, exactly like what I saw before I passed out so I didn't object when she said that she was the shinigami that helped me before. I didn't think she was lying) I have a doubt about this girl though, for the fact that she as an unseated officer from 9th Division capable to fight and won a battle with arrancar alone and without any serious injury. This really made me surprised, though I didn't show it in my face.
If there were a contest to make me surprised, I bet she will win for sure. Her zanpakutou surprised me the most. It can cure illness and heal people by cutting through their body. That's crazy. And just to think that that zanpakutou have cutting through my body like how it cutting through Ukitake taichou body, it make me shiver. How can it cut through without make any pain or even wound? It's creepy, for god's sake.
If that was a normal sword that cut through my body like that, I most likely die in that place for sure. The place where she cut through is a deadly place after all. I even wonder how I can live after cut through by that sword. But I recovered very quickly because of that zanpakutou and for that, I felt very grateful.
(That's just one crazy zanpakutou)
(I agree, but it's powerful. From what I saw, it even has an after effect)
(You mean it still heal you even after it have been pull out from your body?)
(Yes, that's why my body recovered fully in just two days. It should be taken more than a week with using healing kidou to fully recovered.)
(Don't you think that girl looks familiar somehow?)
(…. Yeah. Maybe)
(Have we met her before?)
(…Who knows?)
After Shirosaki Rin left, Yamamoto soutaichou started to discuss about an unknown and mysterius shinigami that appeared in the middle of attack in Seireitei. An unknown shinigami that have shoulder length raven hair 'Umm…. Have I heard this phrase before?' and wear a white haori with number nine in the back. From the report, It looks like this person have helped many shinigamis that almost killed by arrancars and hollows.
This unknown shinigami have killed at least about five arrancars and twenty hollows alone. From what witnesses told us, it looks like this person is a very powerful shinigami. We think this shinigami is at our side by the way he/she helped other shinigamis even though we don't know his/her gender, name, or the identity.
Many of shinigamis of Gotei 13 think that this person is the new Ninth Division captain. After all, this person wear a white haori with number nine in the back, he/she is very powerful, and there is an empty seat in the 9th Division captain after Tousen Kaname, the previous taichou betrayed soul society and killed in Winter War. A rumor about 9th Division will have a new captain have been spread in Seireitei.
I don't know who is the stupid shinigamis that have spread that rumor, But one of them is Matsumoto Rangiku for sure. I need to warn her to stop spread that rumor. They made me have more job to explain and clear that rumor. It is clear that we didn't get a new captain when no one has been informed about that. Even Yamamoto soutaichou was a little surprised by this information.
"Soi Fon taichou, please give me all the information that you have get." Said Yamamoto soutaichou
"From our information, there are many Shinigamis that have seen an unknown shinigami that I just describe. This shinigami have a black katana with silver hilt. We don't know if this zanpakutou is in Shikai or Bankai form, but this shinigami used this zanpakutou in every battle and won. This shinigami appeared in the middle of attack. There are even several witnesses that said that this shinigami is also appeared from a black hole" said Soi Fon
"Black hole?" asked Kuchiki Byakuya
"Yes, the same method of how arrancars and hollows appeared in the middle of Seireitei." Answered Soi Fon
"This shinigami is not an enemy, right? This shinigami looks like a good person after all" Said Hinamori Momo.
(As usual. Too kind and too easy to be deceived. She thinks this shinigami is an ally just because this shinigami helped other shinigamis)
(Shut up and don't talk about her like that)
"Oh, then I should take this shinigami for experiment." Said Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
"I WANT TO FIGHT WITH THIS SHINIGAMI!!!. This person killed so many arrancars so this person must be very strong. I LIKE STRONG PEOPLE!!" shouted Kenpachi
"Who is this shinigami anyway. I hope she is a beautiful girl." Said Kyouraku taichou
(Damn it! All useless talks and meaningless comments. Can't they just get to the point and end this stupid meeting quickly? I have many works to do)
(You mean paperwork again? Can't you just rest and let yourself free and enjoy life sometimes)
(No. It won't do anything good.)
(You need to learn a little from Matsumoto)
(There's nothing to learn from her and I don't want to be like her)
(Just enjoy the life sometimes)
(I enjoy my life, thank you. I don't need your advice in this)
(So stubborn)
(o0o)
(Hikari: "Hyourinmaru, I think you need to take your advice about him to learn from Matsumoto")
(Hyourinmaru: "Why?")
(Hikari: "What do you think will happen if Toushirou become like Rangiku-san?")
(Hyourinmaru: "That's impossible. I can't see him become like that.")
(Hikari: *Sigh* Then how about if there are 2 Matsumoto in one division as a taichou and fukutaichou.")
(Hyourinmaru: "That will be TERRIFYING!!! That Division will be destroyed and dissolved in no time for sure.")
(Hikari: "See.. That's what would happened if Toushirou learn from Matsumoto")
(Hyourinmaru: *speechless*)
(Karin: "WHAT? NO!! I won't let Toshirou become the second Rangiku.")
(o0o)
Yamamoto cleared his throat (again?) and talked "EHEM! I think we should get to the point Soifon."
(TRUE! Just get to the point and end this meaningless talk)
"I understand, Yamamoto soutaichou. So from all the information I got, I can concluded that this person have at least some connection with the attack several days ago because this shinigami came to Seireitei with the same methods with the hollows and arrancars. From his/her action, we can conclude that this shinigami is at least not an enemy. Though, it is still possible that this person is the mastermind behind the attack." Soi Fon reported.
"So, does this mean this unknown shinigami is our ally?"
"For that, I am not sure because we don't know his/her objective in Seireitei." Answered Soi Fon quickly
"Nevertheless, this shinigami maybe hold vital information about the attack and our enemy. I need all of you to find and capture this shinigami as soon as possible. If this shinigami resist, you may kill him/her. For this mission, I allow all of you to release your reiatsu and zanpakutou to Bankai form." Yamamoto ordered.
"We understand, Yamamoto soutaichou!" they answered in the same time.
"Then this meeting is concluded!" stated Yamamoto.
(Finally! It's over!) I shouted in my heart in joy. Nothing shows in my face, though.
(Yeah… yeah… Just go out and do your damn paperwork.)
(Don't say it like I like to do it)
(Whatever you say, you workaholic kid!)
(I'm not a KID!)
All of the captains and vice captains went out from the meeting room. It's included me and my vice captain, Matsumoto Rangiku. It's part of her fault that I need to do so much paperwork. A third of it was hers anyway. She threw almost all of her paperwork to me.
There is nothing that I can expect from her in doing paperwork and I have lost my hope to make her do it long ago. Yeah, long ago even though I still constantly remind her to do her portion of paperwork. If it's not for her loyalty to me and her power as a fukutaichou, I will demote her long ago without further thinking.
I walked out from the meeting room with constant frown with Matsumoto Rangiku to the 10th Division's building. In the middle of our travel (or shunpo) to 10th Division, my fukutaichou begin to talk so we stopped for a while. 'I have a bad feeling about this' I thought.
"Emm, taichou. You see…. Yamamoto soutaichou just ordered us to find and capture this unknown shinigami, right?
"Yes…. So what, Matsumoto?" I asked
"I think we need to get information about this unknown shinigami. So I want to find information about this guy in….."
"Where?"
"Umm…. In the bar. I will go now. So bye, taichou!" She said with a smile and shunpo-ed away as far as possible.
"Wait! MATSUMOTO!!!" I shouted.
(As usual. A poor excuse. She never changes)
This mean I will do my or our (for more accurate) paperwork by myself. Again. It's not like I can't chase her down with my shunpo. I can. Which I have did it many times before, in my beginning of my career as a taichou. It's just that's useless and meaningless because she won't do her paperwork even after I catch her and I lost a lot of time and energy to do that. The result of that is just make me took longer time to finish the paperwork.
In other words, I always let her go after that and do paperwork by myself so I can finish it faster. IT'S NOT LIKE I LIKETO DO IT. I shunpo-ed away to my office in 10th Division as soon as possible to finish my paperwork. Sometimes, I wish I have some spare time for myself.
I have to do more work because I want to help Hinamori to run her Division (not that I complain about that) and I need to help the other division to run their Division just because I am a child prodigy. What the hell with that? Do they want to thrown all responsibility to me just because I am a so called child prodigy? Can't they see all of my effort to achieve all of this? Do they think I can be called a child prodigy without any effort? That's useless scum!
I begin to hate that title for making me go through this. It have been a little better now because Hinamori has begin to run her Division on her own (with a little help from me) and other fukutaichous (3rd and 9th Division) have been accustomed to become an acting captain in their Division. (more or less make my portion of work from their Division become smaller).
I really hope in my heart that soutaichou will choose a new captain as soon as possible. Although only Abarai Renji and Madarame Ikkaku that have fulfill the requirement to become a captain and both of them have refused to take captaincy test. There are still other persons that can fill in, such as several former captains or Visored that have been exiled before by Central 46 because of Aizen plot. But they all refused.
I really want a new captain in Gotei 13 to relieve me from my overload work. I will accept it no matter how incompetent they are. Even that stupid Kurosaki Ichigo is fine even though it was impossible because he is still alive. It's not like I want him to die either. At least it will be a less work for me to do. I will never voice it loud, though.
Enough with complain. I need to get done my works so I went back to my previous course and shunpo-ed to my office. I wanted to get my work down as soon as possible and have some spare time to do something else. I do my paperwork until it was very late and went back to my room to take some rest because I felt very exhausted today. I needed a good sleep.

(Ichigo: "Eh?? You approve me being a captain?")
(Toushirou: *look at the other place* "No one gives you an approval.")
(Ichigo: *Totally Ignore* "You're that desperate to make me a captain, huh? I have decided, then. I will become a captain as soon as I die so wait for me, heh, Toushirou.")
(Toushirou: "It's Hitsugaya taichou for you.")
(Ichigo: "Whatever.")
(Memys: "This chapter is just full of Toushirou's thought and complain. Sorry. See you in the next chapter and don't forget to leave me at least one review. Criticism or complain is also well accepted. So bye for now!!!")
