Chapter 4: The Raven Haired Girl; Girl friends.

/First person, Mint/

'Oh no, I'm in big trouble.' I thought nervously as I turned to see who it was. I saw a girl, with black raven hair, and big violet eyes. Next to her was, a man with black raven hair as well, and very tall. They looked at me very strangely. "Are you lost? What's you name?" the girl said, the man then squatted, and said, "And why is a student so young like you doing here in the serrate?"

I felt so nervous that I almost cried, but I stayed calm so my spiritual energy wouldn't get out of control. I looked at the man straight in his eyes and said, "My name is Mint Kurosaki, I live within the serrate, and yes I'm lost." There was silence, but was broke of by the laughter of the man.

"Well that not something you see every day. Either way, I'm leutenant Kaien Shiba of the 13th squad. It's nice to meet you, Mint," the man said cheerfully. "My name is Rukia Kuchiki, how about you come in and we can talk. Does that sound okay?" the girl said holding out a hand towards me, to help me up. I nodded, and entered the 13th squad headquarters.

As soon As I came in a man was walking towards us. He had pure white hair, very tall, and to me he had a kid face, for an older man. "Welcome back, you two, how did you training go? And who is this?" the man said. Shiba, then said, "Captain shouldn't you be in bed. Oh and this is Mint Kurosaki, a student becoming a Shinigami." "It's very nice to meet you, sir. Sorry, but I don't know your name," I said bowing in respect and in apology.

"I'm the captain of the squad. Jushiro Ukitake." After we meet we talked a bite, and then I heard some one call out my name. "Mint, where are you?" Kaito called out. Oh no, I forgot that Kaito will get worried for not being home by now. "I'm sorry but I have to go. It was nice meeting all of you." I bowed and started to run to the gate. I felt someone holding me back. It was the Rukia.

"Wait, were you going?" she said look down to me. But soon Kaito came in and saw me. He looked so worried about me, and began to talk. "Oh, there you are, my apologies captain Ukitake," he bowed to the captain. "Oh, so that was what captain Yamamoto was talking to me about. So this is the famous girl, so it was her reatsu I was feeling," Ukitake, said as he stood up. Kaito just responded with a, "Yes sir. Well I have to get her to her corridor."

Kaito walked me out, and he still looked worried. "Mint, you gave me a fright, I was so worried." "I'm sorry, Kaito, I got lost and bumped into lieutenant Shiba, and Rukia." He just gave me a smile and said, "Its okay. The only thing is that you are safe," I began to cry. Kaito carried me in his arms, to my corridor, as I cried.

One week later Kaito came by in the afternoon along with one of his friends. It was Rangiku. "Hey there, my name is Rangiku, and you must be Mint." Rangiku said. "She came so you can have someone other then me to talk to. Oh I have to go I have a Mission to get to. Rangiku will be taking care of you will I'm gone as well, Okay," Kaito said a as he left to his mission. At first there was silence, but then I asked her, "So which squad are you from, Rangiku?" "I'm from the 10th squad, "She said, and we began to talk about many different things.

After two hours Rangiku and I got lunch. Later Rukia came as well and so we talked.

"So, Mint, from all the guys you've seen, who do you like?" Rangiku asked. "Well, I'm just 9 years old and everyone is too old for me," I responded. She looked disappointed, and Rukia and I began to laugh. To be honest, I felt so happy to have girls over and talk, no, not just girls, but friends.

"Hey girls, I'm back. Thanks for taking care of her," Kaito said as he walked in my room. "Your welcome, well it was fun. See you later Mint." Rangiku said as she walked out with Rukia. I waved good-bye and said, "Come back any time, Okay."
