"Come to my quarters in half an hour." Yamamoto commands, looking into Kanashii's eyes. She looks at him, confused.

"All right." She says reluctantly. Yamamoto nods, and walks away. Byakuya walks up to her soon after.

"Congradulations!" Byakuya says, grinning. Kanashii smiles.

"Am I part of the clan again?" Kanashii asks, full of hope. Byakuya nods, and Kanashii runs up to him. She hugs him around the waist according to the size difference between the two of them. "Thank you...brother." Kanashii says as she lets go, and turns around. "I suppose I should go change my shihakushou before I have to go meet with the General Yamamoto. Byakuya nods.

"I guess I'll see you later then." Byakuya says with a smile on his face. With that, he walks away. Kanashii watches him go.

"That was sure strange..." Kanashii mutters. She shrugs her shoulders, and walks off towards her room in the squad six's barracks.

When she gets there, she walks inside, sighs, and falls back onto her bed. She falls asleep in a matter of moments, and doesn't wake up until she hears a voice outside the door.

"Kanashii? Are you still in there?" The voice asks. Kanashii wakes up with a jolt.

"Yeah, I'm here. What time is it?" Kanashii says in a sleepy voice.

"Well, you have to be at General Yamamoto's quarters in 15 minutes." The voice says in a whatever voice.

"FUCK!" Kanashii shouts as she jumps up, and runs to change. She then flings the door open, and runs past the person standing in the hallway.

"You better hurry." Renji shouts after her.

"Thanks, Abarai!" Kanashii shouts back. She runs to the 1st division's barracks, and throws the door open.

"So glad you could join us!" Yamamoto says, looking at her.

"Sorry I'm late." Kanashii says as she stands up straight. She looks around the room, and sees all the Captains gathered. "Um...General Yamamoto...what's this all about?" Kanashii asks, starting to get worried. He looks at her, and sighs.

"We deceived you." Yamamoto says as though it's no big deal. She looks at him in confusion for a moment before her expression turns to one of anger.

"So that battle had nothing to do with me rejoining my clan?" She questions, seeing red.

"Wait! Let me rephrase that. We only told you part of the truth." Yamamoto says, looking at Kanashii's expression.

"Then enlighten me-" Kanashii says as she folds her arms in front of her chest. "As to what the whole truth is." She says.

"You were being put through a test to decide if you were worthy enough to be called a Captain of the 13 Court Guard." Yamamoto says, and watches as Kanashii's eyes go wide.

"And tell me. What was your conclusion?" Kanashii asks, dreading the answer.

"We have decided to name you the new Captain of squad 3." Yamamoto says, sounding happy. Kanashii turns around, and right before she could dodge out the door, Byakuya grabs her by the shoulder.

"I suggest you don't disgrace the clan by running away." Byakuya says in a stern voice as he stares down at Kanashii.

"Damn you! You've been planning this for a while!" Kanashii says, practically spitting venom at him.

"Actually, believe it or not. I didn't think about it until you save Captain Ukitake." Byakuya says with a shrug. Kanashii shakes her head, and turns back around to face all the Captains.

"I would be honored to join in your rank." Kanashii says, bowing her head slightly. She looks up at Yamamoto to see him smiling. "So...what comes next?" Kanashii asks, looking at Byakuya. He throws her a white coat. She catches it off reflex.

"This will be your Haori. You are to wear it at all times." Yamamoto says in a stern voice. Kanashii nods. "Your new barracks are in the heart of the 3rd station. You may decorate it however you want. Your lieutenant is Izuru Kira. He will help you get through your daily schedule until you get used to it." Yamamoto says.

"Very well." Kanashii says, bowing to Yamamoto. She yawns. "Well, I am going to stay in the 6th division's guest room for the night. I shall start my new life tomorrow." Kanashii says, yawning again. Yamamoto nods.

"Very well." He says. Kanashii walks out of the room with her hand in the air.

"See you all later." She says as she walks off towards her brother's barracks. "I am going to kill you for this, brother!" Kanashii mutters under her breath as she walks away from 1st division's barracks.
