"Three English guy's hu?" Kenpachi asked; his usual grin still on his face. Soi Fon nodded slowly on answer, her deep blue eyes scanning the three new captains in front of them. They were in the head captain's office, still in England, and the Japanese captains who had come where standing in a line with the three very nervous new captains's standing opposite. Hetta was sat her desk, watching them in amusement.

"Not quite what you expected; was it?" she asked the room. Kenpachi's grin widened as his head turned towards the blonde. He was standing with his hands resting slightly on his hips, slouching slightly as he observed the proceedings.

"No. I can't say it was." He replied with a smirk, his eyes meeting Hetta's for a moment before the girl looked away from him and turned to Ukatake.

"So what is your plan, Taichou?"

The white haired man looked at her for a moment before smiling widely. "We need to be off really." He answered politely. "Our head captain would like it if we could get back as soon as possible. There seem to have been some disturbances as of late and it seems unwise to have too many captains away."

Hetta nodded slowly; her smile still in place. "I trust these three will be able to gather their things and say goodbye?" she asked in a tone that wanted for no argument. Ukatake smiled politely before bowing.

"Of course."

Amy smiled slightly. She was glad she would have the chance to say goodbye to her sister before she left for good but was startled by Hetta's voice cutting through her thoughts and looked over at the blonde with wide, surprised eyes. "Off you go then guys." She told them playfully. "You better get to it!"

Taking the sentence as a dismissal the three of them smiled before walking out of the room, splitting up and flash stepping to their individual squad barracks. As they left, Toushiro's eyes found Amy and his mind wandered back to what happened just after the end of the exam.

Aiedail looked around in surprise, his captain's haori lying still upon his body. The crowd was cheering, Amy and Damien were smiling and, slowly, he began to smile too; the shock of actually becoming a captain wearing off slightly.

Suddenly, a large explosion rattled the arena violently. Looking up, the three new captains felt two very familiar reitsu spark suddenly, they understood.

"You did not just say that!" Fraya yelled angrily at a sheepish looking Ryan. The 11th squad captain held his hands up in surrender.

"I only said you were looking bigger today; I didn't mean to offend you!" he tried to explain unsuccessfully. Fraya was beside herself, shaking with anger, her reitsu spiraling out of control as she glared at the now slightly scared boy.

"Didn't mean to offend…" she muttered angrily, her eyes flashing as she drew her Zampacto. Ryan's eyes widened slightly before a wave of nausea hit him as his seat blew up, filling the air with black smoke. The audience watched in fear as Fraya continued to beat Ryan up; the captain struggling to defend himself.

"Um, hello…?" Amy tried, waving her hands above her head from her position in the maze. "What about us? You know, newly made captains and all…"

But she was ignored. Frowning, she flashed stepped up to where the pair were fighting (if it could really be called a fight) and yelled loudly whilst sending out a mass of reitsu. "Stop it!2

The pair froze in their tracks with wide eyes before they fell to their knees under the influence of her spiritual pressure. Amy put her hands on her hips before flitting back down to the maze and leaving the captains with the more than slightly startled audience.

Amy had released allot of pressure then and the fact that she had taken out two captains with it meant it was stupidly high, maybe even as high as Ichigo's; and she knew how to use it. That made it more powerful.

Toushiro wondered if the other two had as much reitsu as Amy and if they could control it too. From what he had seen, Aiedail seemed to be the expert on kido. He had used it allot during the exam and it had been fairly interesting to watch, especially what he had done after; taking his swords away from Renji's neck and keeping him there by kido instead just for fun. It had been quite funny for the shinigami captain to watch the red head squirm and yell; trying desperately to get loose.

Hetta looked around at the Japanese captains left in her office and, noticing Toushiro's glazed eyes, smiled. "Are you all just going to stand there?" she asked, watching their individual faces in amusement. Slowly, they flied out but Ukatake stayed for a moment.

"It's nice to see you again Hetta." He said softly. Hetta smiled.

"You too. I have missed you, my friend."

Katie smiled as Aiedail walked through the door in his captain's haori. She had to admit that it suited him, however much she didn't want to lose her vice.

"When are you leaving?" she asked. Aiedail looked at her slightly sheepishly.

"Later today I believe." He answered and Katie got up to walk over to him. He took a step back slightly in worry; not knowing what she was going to do. He was surprised then, when Katie threw her arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug. It to a moment for the gesture to register but soon he was wrapping his arms around her waist and hugging her back with a smile.

They had been like family to each other after all. Katie had picked Aiedail up off of the street of the Rukongai when he was little and she had taken him the soul reaper academy where he had met her older sister, Amy. Katie had taken care of him and given him a home.

"I'll miss you." She murmured into his ear. Aiedail pulled away, smiling at his captain.

"I'll miss you too." He told her and watched happily as she smiled.

"Good luck with where you're going." She told him and he nodded. "Go and say goodbye to the rest of the squad. I'm going to the 10th squad barracks." She finished and Aiedail nodded again before smiling wider and walking off, farther into the barracks.

Watching him go, Katie felt a small smile grace her lips before she turned and walked purposely form the barracks and down the hall in the direction of the 10th squad.

Toni looked up as Amy walked through the door of the office and walked towards her captain with a smile on her face. The captain turned in her chair to face her vice with a happy smile.

"Amy! What is it? Are you leaving for Japan already?" she asked in a chipper voice. She was sad Amy was leaving but was happy for the girl as she was now going up in the world and getting more powerful. Amy nodded, a small, sad smile playing at her features.

Toni stood up quickly before walking over to her friend and hugging her tight. Amy hugged back, hot tears making their best efforts to escape from her eyes but she refused to let them fall. "I'll miss you Toni." She whispered into her captains ears. Toni smiled before pulling out of their embrace and turning t the door to see Katie leaning against the doorframe with a small smile. Amy smiled as she looked at her sister before she ran up to her younger sister and threw her arms around her neck, holding her close. This time she couldn't stop one of the tears from leaving a hot path down her cheek.

Katie hugged her sister back as if hugging her would stop her from leaving but she knew it was no good. "I'm sure you will go far Amy. Don't forget us, kay?" she whispered and Amy pulled back with an overly happy smile.

"Course I wont. I'll visit as much as possible." She assured her sister. Katie laughed happily as tears ran down her face. Wiping them away, she hugged her sister again. When they pulled away again, the tears where gone and Amy was swamped by the majority of the 10th squad. "Wow!" Amy cried as she was thrown t the ground by a mob of people and soon the room was filled with flailing limbs.

Funnily enough, it was then that Toushiro decided to make an appearance. He soon regretted it as the mob (and Amy) took one look at the shinigami before they decided to mob him instead. Amy, being the head of the mob, landed on him first, taking him off his feet and landing on top of him on the floor before the rest of the squad fell on top of them.

Katie and Toni where laughing so hard at the Japanese captain's expression as he looked up to see Amy's face inches form his own. "Your face is all red Taichou!" a unfamiliar voice cut into the laugher and Toushiro turned his head to see his vice, Matsumoto, standing in the doorway with Momo; both laughing there heads off at the blush that was now getting redder on the shinigami captains face.

"Matsumoto…!" he growled. "What are you doing here?"

The red head beamed at her captain, still giggling. Momo looked at her friend with a smile before answering Toushiro's question. "We where sent to try and hurry you up slightly. Head captain Yammamoto is getting… impatient." She said with a smile at Amy who was looking at the black haired girl curiously from her position on Toushiro's chest. "I'm Momo Hinamori, vice captain of the 5th squad." She explained to Amy before introducing the red head still laughing beside her. "And this is Rangiku Matsumoto."

Amy nodded at the pair before fruitlessly trying to get up and being stopped by the wall of soul reapers on top of her. She frowned in annoyance and Toushiro sighed. I have the feeling this is going to be a long day. He thought dryly as he felt his face cooling and, hopefully, whitening.

"Get off me!" Amy yelled at the people on top off her and they hurriedly moved aside to let the pair on the floor up. "Thank you." She sighed, brushing herself down before smiling around the room, taking it in for the last time for a while. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she rushed further into the barracks before running back with a small satchel on her shoulders. Her eyes met Katie's as she raced back into the room and the younger girl immediately knew what was in that pouch, but she said nothing; only smiling at her older sister in a knowing way.

Amy smiled back sheepishly under her scrutiny until, slowly, she turned to Toushiro. "Ok. I'm ready." She told him with a small smile. Toushiro nodded, trying hard to keep himself from smiling back in front of his subordinates and friends.

Waving to everyone, Amy followed her fellow captain out of the room and along the corridor with Momo, Rangiku and Robert Benter (whom had accompanied the two shinigami to the 10th squad barracks in the first place) following slowly behind.

Damien walked into his barracks quickly, going straight to his room before coming back out and looking at his captain, Shannon Jewels. She was sat doing paperwork at her desk, her long, curly brown hair falling softly over her shoulders and her brown eyes glowing as she watched her pen flow smoothly over the paper.

"Goodbye captain." He said loudly and her writing stopped before her eyes flickered up to look at the boy in front of her. Her head rose slowly and she absently tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Goodbye Damien. I wish you well." She replied. He was surprised to hear a note of sadness in her usually emotionless voice. She had never been particularly open with him; she had always closed herself off from him and, sometimes, it hurt. Even so, she had never treated him with mistrust or any sort of meanness. And yet, now, there was emotion in her voice. It scared him slightly that it was now, when he was leaving, that she had decided to let him in slightly.

"Thank you captain; I will… think of you often." He said, bowing slightly with a small smile on his face and, suddenly, she smiled back. He felt his eyes widening and forced them back to normal before allowing his smile to grow before he waved at walked out of the door, leaving his old life forever.
