Emily was sitting in her bed, playing with a ball with her tail and staring at the ceiling. Because Jyubi had ten tails, she could easily summon one without using her Shikai. The tail was useless for fighting, though she liked playing with it. 'Hikifune-Taicho will soon be here.' Jyubi informed.

'Yeah, I know. She said the two of us were going together to the party…'

'Nervous?'

'Meeting new people? HELL YEAH!'

'Ah, don't worry. They're celebrating three promotions, after all. Though dunno if yours can be called a promotion…'

'Three? Me, Hikifune-Taicho & …?'

'Urahara Kisuke. He's the new captain.'

'I see… is that Hikifune's reiatsu heading this way?'

'Yep. No respect for your superiors?'

'Hmph. She's joining Division 0, which I led for a while, so not too much, especially while thinking.'

'That was before you became Senkai. Here she comes'


"Good afternoon, Emily-chan!" Hikifune greeted.

"Good afternoon, Hikifune-Taicho. You came a little bit earlier."

Hikifune smiled. "You need to get ready."

"Huh?"

"Okay, let's see…"

Hikifune came deliberately to dress Emily up. In the end, she decided that Emily could wear her shikasho and a little bit of make-up, but she still needed to arrange her hair. Fun!

"Hikifune-Taicho, when did you hear about my past?"

"Huh? Oh yeah… about a few days after you were brought at the 4th Division Hirako-Taicho announced that he wanted you to take the 3rd seat exam. A week or two after."

"Two weeks ago? Nobody acted different…"

"Oh, the Soutaicho only told the two of us. He wanted me to assist your examination." Hikifune giggled.


~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

"I called you two regarding the new 3rd seat of the 5th Division." The Soutaicho started.

"Emmalin?" Shinji asked curious.

"Exactly. You do not know who she is, do you? Emerald Senkai sounds familiar?" The reaction to this was something the old man didn't expect.

"Interesting. And why do I need to know this, sir? I mean, she obviously doesn't want me to know this, does she?" Shinji said, calmly, though his thoughts were anything but. 'Senkai? Her? WTF!'

"The 3rd seat exam is basically a spar between captain and future 3rd seat. Hikifune-Taicho will monitor the spar so it will be safe for you." 'That poker face makes me jealous.'

"Now I don't think that's necessary. She can't be that strong." Shinji said, poker face still on.

"Actually, she can. So we'll talk about this after the exam. You are dismissed."

After they left, Hikifune told Shiji "We studied the Senkais in the Academi for a month, remember?"

"I… skipped those classes." 'I shouldn't have.'

~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~


"So no one else knows… what did you tell them about me? Early graduation?" Emmalin asked when Hikifune finished.

"Pretty much yeah. You graduated a hundred or so years ago, your family recently got killed by hollows and you were badly wounded. Hirako-san has imagination."

"Okay, it's good to know what lie I'll say later."

"Finished. Do you like it?"

Emily looked in the mirror. She was wearing light make-up 'to evidantiate her eyes'. Her nearly straight hair was curly and loose, as she demanded, reaching her chest. Her uniform was a little bit loose, another one of Hikifune's demandings. She stood up and arranged her shikasho, well tried to.

"Leave it like that! Put this necklace and earrings." Hikifune ordered. The earrings were simple: a small flower and so was the necklace.

"Can we please go before you get another idea?" Emily demanded in a complaining tone.

"Ok ok, I just thought you wanted to look good for Hirako-san." Hikifune replied defensily.

"Who the hell gave you that idea?" Emily nearly shouted.

"Huh? So you don't like him?"

"Well, we're friends, but I don't like him as in like like." 'You graduated Lying School, didn't you?'

"Oooh, too bad."

"Why?" 'WTF is going on?'

"Ah nothing. It's just that most girls would fall for him."

"I can say I'm immune to womanizers. Andrew was one and before I got adopted by his parents we were really good friends, nothing more… You said most girls, Hikifune-Taicho, are you one of them?"

"No! I'm too old, anyway." Emily giggled.

"Sorry, couldn't help myself. Oh we're already here?"

"Yep. Oh, Everyone's already here!"


"umm…" she tried to hide herself, but failed, especially because Hikifune had shouted the previous words.

"Hi everyone! I brought Emmalin as promised!" All heads turned towards them in a split second.

"Oh, Emily-chan, you look great!" Shinji ecoed between the others.

"Thanks… umm Hello I guess…" she said.

"Oh, don't be shy! Here, have a seat! I'm Aikawa Love, 7th Division Captain. Call me Love." Emily sat near Love, right next to Shinji.

"Rojuro Otoribashi. Call me Rose. Nice to meet you!" The guy on Shinji's right introduced himself.

"Yadorimaru Lisa. Nice to meet you." A girl with glasses introduced herself.

"Hyaaa! I'm Mashiro." A green-haired girl said as she popped up behind Emily. "And this is Kensei-meanie." She added pointing to a white hair guy wearing a Captain's haori.

"Nice to meet you all." Emily said and then she pulled Shinji's hair so she could whisper in his ear. "You didn't tell me your friends are all Captains and Vice-Captains."

"You wouldn't have come if I did."

"Fair enough." They all ordered some sake.

"Oi, where's…" Shinji didn't get to finish his question 'cause he was sent flying on the opposite side of the bar. Emily burst out laughing, especially since the one who hit him was a girl with half his height, who seemed to have just noticed her. "Who're you?"

"Emmalin Niagra, new 3rd seat of the 5th Division. You just have to teach me to do that!"

"I'm Hiyori Sarugaki, Vice-Captain of the 12th. Nice to meet you. Sure!" Hikifune came over Hiyori.

"Now, now apologise Hiyori, that was just mean!"

"Tsch, fine. Sorry Baldy!"

"Baldy? LOL!" Emily burst laughing. "What the fuck is that funny?" Shinji replied after getting up.

"Well,1. you went flying like a ball in a baseball match, hit by a girl half your size and 2. everyone's acting like things are normal!" she answered still laughing.

"Well, it IS normal." Love replied. "They do that everyday. It's their way of showing how much they love each other…" He finished as though he expected an argument to occur.

"Really? I'm gonna have so much fun then in the 5th." She replied. "What about them?" she pointed to an argument between Kensei and Mashiro.

"Same thing with less violence." Lisa replied.


Hikifune had decided that she wouldn't ruin her night trying to split Shinji and Hiyori, much to the latter's delight. Instead she was talking to Love about the absence of her replacement and his huge laziness (understatement).

"So…" Emily started asking Lisa "who's my Vice-Captain?"

"He's a nice guy. A little too much of a workaholic, but a nice guy. His name is Aizen Sousuke. He's over there." Came the answer and Emily was trying her best to ignore the chills down her spine that were caused by his name. 'What's this?'

'It's from your fortune-telling. You'll see when you meet him.'

'Crap!'

"You ok?" Lisa asked."Oi, Aizen, come here a little! You must meet your new 3rd seat."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Niagra-san! I must excuse myself, I need to get home quickly." Emily was relieved to see him leaving.

"Oh, it's nothing. Good to have met you."

After Aizen left, Lisa asked "What do you think about him?"

"To be honest, he gives me the creeps. But I'll be fine."

"He gives everyone the creeps. Good. You need to be fine. Mashiro's drunk, Kensei and Shinji are in a drinking competition and Love and Hikifune aren't too reliable. You'll have to get Shinji home."

"WTF? Why me?"

"We decided so. Oh, they're done already" Lisa announced pointing at a passed out Kensei. "By the way, you drank about 7 bottles by yourself and you are acting as if it was nothing. You normal?"

"I'm immune to most poisons. Alcohol is a weak poison. So no, I'm not normal."

"Oh, nice. Now get to business!" Lisa commended.

Emily rolled her eyes and grabed Shinji by his left arm and dragged him to his room, while waving goodbye to the others. She opened the door to his room and proceeded to drag him to his bed.


Emily's POV

Oh gosh. Why did I accept this? As soon as I entered his room he pinned me to a wall. I tried to push him away, of course, but he's a lot stronger than me. I may be Senkai, but in physical strength anyone can easily overpower me. He bit my pulse point and sucked. I could hear myself moaning. He started to plant kisses down my neck, till he almost reached the skin above my breasts. I felt really good, but he was drunk. He wouldn't remember anything the next day.

"Shinji, we shouldn't…"

His grip became stronger and he silenced me by pressing his lips over mine. OMG! He kissed me. I struggled a little, but his grip on my hands remained still. I'm not going to lie, it felt really good… but the taste of sake from his mouth reminded me that we REALLY shouldn't be doing that.

"Shinji..."

"I love you, Emmalin."

I would've loved to believe that, but I wasn't sure how true it was. Maybe he would've said that to any other girl in my position. I didn't want to stay any more. I had to do something to make him release his grip. I used my tail to grab his leg and turn him off balance, thus he fell on his bed. I quickly shunpoed to my room, trying to control my breathing and my rapid heart beats. Crap!


~~~~Next morning, normal POV~~~~~~~~

Shinji woke up with a huge headache and need to throw up. 'What the fuck did I do last night?' Memories strted to sink in slowly as he felt more and more guilty. 'Damn that Kensei. Why did he challenge me to a drinking competition? Anyway, how did I end up home...ah yeah, Emily... SHIT!'

'Oi, relax, master, I'm sure she's not mad at you.'

'Of course not!' Shinji answered sarcastily. 'I so gonna have to apologise later.'

Just then, he heard a knock at the door.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed!
