Dreading getting out of bed this morning, you decided to lay there for a moment longer, not caring if you were late for your first day of work in the 11th division or not. Finally, you had to rise for the knock on your bedroom door. Slowly climbing from underneath your covers, you managed to stand beside your bed before the door opened. Locking eyes with the woman who entered your room you were both silent, neither one of you wishing to speak about what today held for you.

"[Name]-chan, sweet heart how did you sleep?" You frowned, knowing that your mother was one to beat around the bush when it came down to it. Though, she was a royal and was never allowed to give her straight forward option on things.

"Like a cat cornered in a kennel with a dog ten times its own size," Your mother sighed, knowing what you meant behind your words. She had the [e/c] colored orbs as you, along with the [h/c] colored locks that reached down to her mid-waist, after hanging over her shoulder. Walking over to you, it was only then you noticed what she had something hidden within her hand.

"Here, I thought you might want this," Upon opening her hand you saw it was her pink, light weight, silky scarf. You glanced from the object back up to her, surprise flooded your eyes as you stood there in question of why she was giving you something like this that was of such great importance to her.

"Your father bought it for me when he—" You silenced her with a hug, not wishing to hear anymore. You held onto her for what seemed like an eternity before you finally let her go. You felt the light silk fall around your shoulders as she adjusted it to where it would not fall, taking a step back she looked at you with a smile of approval.

"You look beautiful." You gave her another hug, thanking her for the gift. Not long after you had to bid your good-byes to her and head toward the 11th division.

You stood there looking at the building with a look between discussed and boredom. Sighing, you finally took a step inside the yard and headed toward the captain's office. Knocking on the wooden door you stood outside until you were given permission to enter. Slowly opening the office door you moved inside and stopped in the middle of the room.

Kenpachi seemed rather comfortable behind his desk, and yet rather bored looking at the same time, as he stared up at the ceiling. When you caught his attention, his gaze fell on you which made him smirk just a bit.

"Well, well, well, I didn't even expect to see you here. I would have figured that you would have skipped your first day of work." he laughed, finding his own joke amusing. You gridded your teeth to keep from snapping, the last thing you wanted to do was fight him again.

"Well Kenpachi-Taichou, I could not just abandon my duties on the first day all because I despise being here. That would not be fair to the wounded men who are here waiting for medical treatment." Kenpachi's laughter seemed to die down with each word you spoke until he stopped all together. But, instead of becoming annoyed, like you had planned it would have made him, it seemed that you only peeked his interest.

"You're a very strange woman, for someone of your background, to speak your mind so freely like you do. Then again, you wouldn't be any fun if you were like all the rest of them, I'd say you'd be as boring as Kuchiki." Your eye twitched, not expecting to be put in the same category of "boring" as Byakuya Kuchiki; never the less you allowed the poke at your side to slide.

"What are my orders, sir?" You wanted to get to work as soon as possible and get away from this office, it made your stomach turn in ways that you found rather unpleasant. With your orders, which were to go to the barracks and heal any wounded 11th division member, you were quick to leave the room. When you were finally gone, you growled and balled your fists as if you were ready to attack the next person you happened to cross paths with.

And suddenly, hearing someone coming down the opposite end of the hall, you launched yourself at that poor and unexpected person. Before you had time to register who it was that you socked right square in the jaw the damage had already been dealt. It seemed that you were just as shocked as the man who you had attacked.

"What the hell, what are you doing here?!" Ikkaku shouted at the top of his lungs. You didn't know how to reply, you never expected to punch Ikkaku, third seat of the 11th division, right in the middle of the mouth. Placing his hand over his now sore mouth he stood there and awaited your answer.

"… I can fix that,"

You never even had time to doge his counter strike to your own face.
