Full Summary: We follow the lives of two women that fate brings together in the afterlife. Sama'el "Sam" Tzufit Kaahn was a victim of the Holocaust. As one of the Mengele Twins, a horrible experiment gone haywire resulted in the death of both Sam and her twin. Miraculously, Sam is delivered to Seireitei in the midst of a terrible winter storm. Not much is known about the woman only know as, "Emily Catari." A victim of a Hollow attack, death for Emily brings about many changes including the loss of her soul. One could call it a miracle that she managed to get to the Seireitei in one piece as a full-fledged Vasto Lorde. How Sam and Emily will last among the Soul Reapers of the Gotei 13, only time will tell.

Chapter Six
Welcome
"It has been decided at the latest captains meeting where you will be placed." Captain Yamamoto stated to the woman across from him. She lowered her head respectfully and replied, "Yes, Head-Captain." Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door. "Enter." the eldest Soul Reaper called out. The door slid open to reveal a tall and very thin man with white hair. His eyes were kind and his smile was gentle. He entered with a light nod as closed the door behind him. "I'm sorry, I was—" the man abruptly stopped in mid-sentence once he had laid eyes upon the woman sitting in front of the Head-Captain's desk. His heart nearly burst within his chest. Taken aback, he had never seen someone so beautiful. "Is this…" the white-haired man trailed off as he continued to stare. Captain Yamamoto answered, "Yes, this is Emily Catari." "I'm Captain Jūshirō Ukitake." the Soul Reaper greeted, his eyes never leaving the woman before him, "It's nice to meet you."
Ukitake's breath was almost taken away when she finally turned to look at him and their eyes locked. Emily replied, "Pleasure." He continued to gawk and grin before he asked cheerfully, "Are you ready for your first day?" Unsure of what the captain meant, Emily looked to Yamamoto. The eldest Soul Reaper remarked, trailing off, "I was about to tell Catari what division she would be placed in when you…" The white-haired man responded sincerely, "Oh, so sorry, Head-Captain." "If you could not yet tell, Catari, you have been placed in Captain Ukitake's division." Captain Yamamoto explained to the young woman. Ukitake added reassuringly, "Not to worry. You are not a seated officer as of yet but you can build your way up in time." "Indeed. Seeing as that was all that needed to be said, you are dismissed." the Head-Captain ordered before shuffling through some paperwork on his desk. "Thank you, Head-Captain." Emily added and bowed her head one last time before rising from her seat. Ukitake smiled warmly at her and commented encouragingly, "You're in my hands now."
The Captain of the Thirteenth Division escorted Emily to the squad barracks and talked the whole way. He was giddy as a child and wanted to show his new subordinate everything there was to see. She was silent most of the time. Emily did, however, notice he seemed to fancy her. His thoughts were almost crisp in her mind. Ukitake kept thinking such things as, 'Did I just say that?' or 'Relax, Jūshirō, just stay calm.' The remnants of the woman's memory as a human almost forced her to smile at this situation; although, she decided to keep a straight face. No a smile or frown, just a straight and simple face. The two soon arrived to their destination. Captain Ukitake showed Emily to her room. It was the only spare among the rooms for seated officers. The Head-Captain wanted Ukitake to keep an eye on her. The white-haired man did not mind one bit.
