When fire meets ice

Chapter 4: Captain what?

"I have called you all here to talk about a replacement for squad nines captain." Old man Yama looked over all the squad captains a calm look on his face. "After this meeting has ended, you may submit any names from your squads you think would make a good captain."

"After the sighting of an arrancar in the Rikongai district, we need to strengthen our squads in case a threat makes a sudden appearance."

All the Captains watched as Captain Yamamoto yelled and stomped his wooden stick dismissing everyone. A few filled out quietly while squad two, three, five, and six stayed around to hand In the names they deemed to be a great new Captain to lead squad 9.

Stephanie tossed and turned in her bed located in the squad 4 barracks. The blue satin sheets spread all around her. Her injuries have almost fully healed but she's been unconscious since she arrived. Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto watched as the injured girl slept. Expressions of worry clear on their faces.

"T-toshiro..." Steph let out a small whisper just loud enough to be heard by both Toshiro and Rangiku.

"Captain" Rangiku smirked "why did she just say your name? Hmm." She let out a small chuckle at the blush that invaded the boy's cheeks.

"How am I supposed to know?" Toshiro looked at the sleeping girl his expression softening just a bit as Kevin walked into the room.

Stephanie began to walk up, her eyes fluttered open softly and widened quickly. "Where the hell am I" What's going on?" The shocked expression faded quickly.

"You're in squad 4 because your dumb ass blew yourself up!" Kevin threw his hands in the air making it looked like he flipped a table.

"Well I really do apologize. Really, I'm sorry for the fact I didn't feel like having a bunch of holes punched through my chest!" the small girl jumped up standing on the bed face to face with her captain. "Plus" she crossed her arms looking in the other direction "Blame Renji for teaching me with his horrible kido skills."

"Anyways that doesn't matter lets go." Kevin pulled the small girl off the bed by the collar of her shirt.

"Hey! Let go! At least tell me where were going ya idiot!" Steph gabbed the back of her shirt trying to break free.

"To the head Captains office." Kevin yanked the girl while Toshiro and Rangiku sweat dropped.

They arrived quickly to see the head captain sitting in the back of the room. He motioned for both Kevin and Stephanie to enter. "Glad to see you're feeling well Stephanie Shimizu." Captain Yamamoto nodded in her direction.

"Glad to be back sir." Stephanie bowed toward the head captain. She lifted herself upright. The wind blew in from the wide open doors.

A hell butterfly made its way to squad 8, landing on the finger of shunsui kyoraku. "Seems Old man Yama has called another captains meeting."

"If there's a captains meeting get up and go!" Nanou growled at her lazy captain.

"I will just give me a minute."

"We have found a new captain for squad 9; she has proven herself worthy of the spot as a Captain of the 13 court guard squads. With her use of Kido in a tough situation, to showing us the power of her Bankai she's proven herself more than worthy." The head captains eyes directed at the back of the room awaiting the arrival of the new Captain.

Stephanie walked into the room, tripping over her new captains Haori. Kevin tried to push down his laughter while everyone else just sighed. Steph got up smiling sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. She whispered a quick "My bad." Before joining the line slightly embarrassed.

Head Captain Yamamoto stomped his stick signaling everyone to file out the room.

"Smooth, very smooth." Kevin let out his laughter making the small girl growl. "Shut up! Grr, I swear you really know how to piss me off!" Steph yelled making him only laugh more. "Nanananan little bitch." Kevin mocked her words with a high pitched voice making her glare at him.

"You're such a child." Stephanie scoffed hiding her amusement from his expression. "You're calling me a child? Little girl you're the size of my hand. Your shorter then Toshiro for crying out loud." Kevin yelled down at the small girl. "That's Captain Hitsugaya." Toshiro said through his teeth. "Hey no one said to bring height into this!" Stephanie yelled clearly ignoring Toshiro's remark. "You're the one acting like the child!"

The two bickered all the way to Squad nines barracks. They entered greeted by the squad members who already knew of her title. "Well I guess as you all know, um I'm your new Captain." Stephanie smiled slightly weirded out by the fact she's calling herself Captain now. "So if you ever need anything just visit my office. The door is always open." She smiled "Also I want to have a training session in1 hour. I've asked Captain Hayashi it accompany me in the training session."

Stephanie stepped down and saw Shuhei Hisagi standing well more like bowing to her. "Captain Shimizu is there anything I can do for you." Shuhei asked standing upright. "Shuhei stop with all this formal crap. It's still just Stephanie nothing's changed that." Stephanie looked dumbfounded on the fact he was so formal. "I guess, but now you have a higher title it's expected to be formal and respectful." Shuhei laughed. "I guess so but just don't be so formal, as for me I have a date with my robes and scissors." Stephanie waved heading to her room.

She cut up her robes pants into a skirt. She made the sleeves shorter and the shirt more fitting and tighter so it didn't feel too baggy. She threw on her Haori rolling up the sleeves and looked in the mirror. Happy with the results she smiled jumping out of the room.

"You little midget what did you do!" Kevin yelled at her. "That's Captain Midget to you! I just made it a little more comfy, you know how I hate pants." She laughed running into the training room.

"Alright so we're just going to do 1 on 1 sparing. So I can get a good look on all your strengths and weaknesses and so you can see the strength and weaknesses of your Captain. I brought Kevin here to help."

"Ready?" Kevin smirked unsheathing his giant Katana. "Let's go." They ran full force clashing swords. Kevin's technique was more full force power while Stephanie's was speed and agility. Stephanie did a flip landing softly onto the end of Kevin's Katana. "You know I remember this being harder when we were both in squad 11" Stephanie smirked jumping off laughing as Kevin glared. Clashing swords again it seemed to turn more into a play fight over who was faster or who was stronger.

"Well that's enough for both of us 5 slashes each." Stephanie had a 3 cuts on her left arm. 2 cuts on both her right leg. Kevin had 2 cuts on his right arm. A small cut on his face and 2 cuts in his right hand.

They left the squads to go up in twos, she narrowed down the strongest to the weakest. "So who's your new Lieutenant going to be?" Steph asked sitting watching a fight between. "Not exactly sure, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to find a way to get Ji-eun to be my new Lieutenant." Kevin crashed down sitting with the small girl.

The two watched as the fighting intensified making a mental list of who needs to train and who needs to work on what. Mental note make Hiroko word on hand to hand combat, mental note make Ichiru work on blocking. This continued till finally everyone finished going up and returned back to their quarters.

When Stephanie returned to her new room and Kevin left to lay down in his barreks. They both wondered about the strange arrancar showing up out of nowhere and were curious as to what the future may hold.
