Chapter 6: The Thrill of a Captain's Meeting

Two subordinants walked through Rukongai District 1 (where mostly new souls first appear to Soul Society) feeling bored as ever. At least they start from somewhere. One bald guy and his walking companion who seem to have feathers glued to his eyebrow. It's none other than Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa. They've received from their squad 11's captain, Kenpachi, about escorting a newly soul Captain Hitsugaya found to go inside Seireitei straight to squad 1. So far Ikkaku's near to destroy the Rukon District if they don't find that soul fast.

"Admit it, Ikkaku", Yumichika said, "we're lost."

"No we're not!" yelled the bald shinigami. "We're not looking in the right direction, yeah that's it!"

"Keep telling yourself that", he murmured. "Honestly, the more I spent time with you the more your manners becomes nasty, despicable, immature, in other words you're manners are not beautiful to stand. You're lucky I'm used to this."

"Maybe because you're a LAZY-ASS BASTARD who won't do shit at the division!"

"And you are one to talk?"

"AGH! I can't take this! What does this bastard look like? All Captain Zaraki did was to fetch the soul inside Seireitei he never told us what his description, not a clue to help us out!"

"Why not ask the wondering souls here? It'd be hard to look for this person."

"Oh, yeah and you want me to believe the said soul will fall on top of me? Forgive me, my weird-" Baldy never finished his sentence since he jinxed his own incident. If you guessed a soul dropped on top of Baldy then good for you! The soul landed on Ikkaku's back while the said person had his front side facing the ground. Ikkaku managed to get his head up and spits out the dirt in his mouth. "Something tells me we found our "new friend"."

Yumichika giggled girly. "It appears so. But thank goodness you broke his fall."

The spirit on top of Ikkaku looks down at the said shinigami and by doing a single flip he got off the Baldy. "Sorry about that, man. I didn't know I would end up falling from the sky."

Ikkaku stood up and leaned back until he heard a reassuring crack of his spine. "More like you've fallen on top of me." He glanced at the newcoming soul. "Are you the soul Captain Hitsugaya report? If not then you're waisting our time."

"If by Captain Hitsugaya you must mean Toshiro then yes, yes I am." The spirit grinned and held out his hand. "My name is Train Heartnet. What's your name?"

The bald guy went towards the entrance gate. His companion thought to be polite to Train Heartnet since he was courteous in first appearance. He shook the spirit's given hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Train. I'm Yumichika Ayasegawa. The cueball over there is Ikkaku Madarame. We'll be your humble escort to squad 1. If you be so kind as to follow us." Train nodded and followed his two "tour guides" (or so he called them in his mind) until... "Oh, by the way how did you appear with such a beautiful complexion." Yumichika touches Train's face.

"Excuse me?" Train asked somewhat feeling uncomfortable about how close the narcissist is close to his face.

"DON'T YOU SEE HOW GORGEOUS YOU ARE?"

"I'm what?"

Ikkaku laughed in the background. "He's saying how you become so handsome!" Then laughed so hard he falls on his back cradling his stomach as stomach pain begins hurting him. It seems he doesn't care so long as he get one heck of a laugh.

Train, whom is still confuse, looks back at Yumichika. "I don't know." He shrugged thinking it over. "I guess I was born with it."

And here we go with Yumichika's insane yellling. "BUT NOT MANY PEOPLE WERE BORN BEAUTIFUL UNLESS THEIR GENERATIONS ARE FROM A BEAUTIFUL CLAN! THIS CAN'T BE SO! THERE'S NOT A LOT OF THOSE OUT THERE! I'M ALREADY JEALOUS AND I JUST MET THE GUY! HOW CAN SOMEONE LIKE HIM BE MORE GORGEOUS THAN ME? THIS ISN'T RIGHT-!"

"How long does this take?" Train asked Ikkaku as there was an anime sweat drop coming down on his head.

"If you knew him more like I have it might take a while." Ikkaku started walking off again. "Hey, hurry up with your tantrum. We're burning daylight!"

Out of a miracle, the feather eyebrow dude stopped yelling and ran off with his friend. Train shooked his head while following the two soul reapers to their destinations. "I've got to remind myself not to talk to Yumichika whenever he's around", Train murmured to himself.

~BCR~

The more the three souls past through District 1 the more Heartnet felt bad for the souls around him. Everyone looked so poor and hungry. He even went by a group of starving children trying to share a small bag of candy. Train looked back at the his two escorts out of his hearing range. The brunette went up to the group of kids and sit beside them. "You must be really hungry, huh?" They all nodded but they hold their ground. Train felt guilty and wanted to help them. Then an idea popped in his head! If he was able to form reishi into Hades' replica why not other things? Like food? If he can concentrate on the form on his own reishi.

"Not everything you make from reishi doesn't always depend on form, Lord Train."

'You again? Can't you tell me who you are? I know you're more than a small cricket who tells me what's right and wrong."

"In due time, Milord. In due time. For now you must work on your masterpiece of life."

'Yeah, you said something about 'doesn't always depend on form'. What do you mean?'

"I mean use your senses. You have more senses than sight and touch, Milord. There is also taste, smell, and sometimes sound. If you successfully use these methods you can create a new world of your own."

'Nice. But I think it's best to use my powers in a minimum. Just to help others.'

She silently laughed. "I would've said it better myself, Master."

Train closed his eyes and his body starts glowing like before. For the children, he's concentrating at least a life-supply of food and medical supplies. For food, well, this is Train we're talking about. You don't have to tell him twice what food look, smell, and most definately taste. And fresh water. In reality, the children were amazed by this strange man's power. A couple of bags appear before them, a couple jars of water, and a big bag of medical supplies. Each enough for the children can carry home. Once Train opened his eyes and was once more surprise to see he done it again. The kids were so amazed they didn't have the right word to say to the kind adult.

After a minute, Train puts one finger on his lip, tilts his head to the side, and winked at them. "This is our lil' secret. Understand?" They all nodded. "Good, I should go." Before he could stand a little girl with dark hair, one blue eye and one brown, and wears a green and black kimono hugs Train.

"Thank you, Mister." She whispered in his ear. Train couldn't help but hug her back.

"You're welcome." He gently pulled back and looked at the stray kids. "Remember all this is for all of you and the rest who are like you. This will only last for a year. I don't know when I'll see you again but if we don't meet again then I wish for all of you and your companies the best of luck. And we must keep this a secret only between us and no one else." The kids nodded again. Train smiled and took his leave.

After that, all the kids say thank you to him and grabbed their new supplies home. Train went to find his escorts and made it just in time before Ikkaku decided to check on their follower. "Hey, did you feel that just a few minutes ago?" He asked expecting an answer.

"Me? No, not really. I can barely sense anyone in here." Train replied while he tried to hide his tracks.

Then, Yumichika pooped in the conversation. "You see, Train. Here, in Rukongai, souls have very little of spirit energy so they barely eat much. But those who does contain a massive amount get to eat more!"

"That sounded mean coming from you."

"But it's reality in Soul Society. So welcome home."

As they walk Train thought to himself, 'This is totally different from the kind of Heaven I was thinking about.'

~BCR~

Toshiro Hitsugaya stands outside of squad 1's gate waiting impatiently on Train and Zaraki's subordinants. Beside Toshiro is a clear puddle, can be easily seen by anyone's reflection. Out of boredom, Hitsugaya decided to look at himself. He gasped at what a mess he is! There's no way he's going into Captain Yamamoto's office looking like this! What would Ol' Man Yama might think? What's worse is what would Train think? His reflection shows the young captain blushing. It's true, there's no denying it. Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of squad 10 and child prodigy, is madly in love with a soul name Train Heartnet. But he can only be an admirer, not a lover. It'll ruin his reputation if it were to happen. He couldn't risk something like that! Hey, at least he admits it to himself. What he is more concern is if his rescuer feels the same way. Absentmindedly he touched his cheek where Heartnet wiped his fallen tear. Hitsugaya smiled at the last minute memory. Another thought treasured in his heart.

He sighed mentally. 'What if he doesn't have the same feelings for me? What am I going to do?' Again he sighs of his thought.

"HEY, TOSHIRO!" Out of surprise, the ice weilder began falling into the puddle! Thankfully his savior rescue him from having wet clothes by wrapping his arm around Toshiro's small waist. He looked up at Train and blushed on how close their faces are from each other. The replayed image in his rolled in showing him nearly kissing him! Here we go again on the blushing. "Sorry Toshiro! I didn't mean to scare you", he started laughing, "BUT I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!" Train couldn't help but laugh louder than before. Toshiro's romantic mind soon got crushed and wanted to hurt his savior rather admiring him! The former assassin helped Hitsugaya up. Then, two questions popped into his head. How did he not sensed Heartnet's spirit energy and how can this same person be able to hide it if he never experience it before?

"Can we go now, Captain Hitsugaya?" Ikkaku asked. "We brought him in. I don't see why we have to stay any longer."

"I'm rather enjoying this scene." Yumichika said excitedly. "Wonder what happens next."

Toshiro looks at the two subordinates. When did they get here? He clears his throat as he speaks. "Now that you mention it I want you two to return to your post. You have done enough for today."

"Aw, I wanted to see if there's any romance going on."

Train tilts his head. "Romance?" he asked.

"Don't let Ayasegawa's words confuse you. Not many shinigamis do not know what is he talking about", Toshiro reassured him.

"Isn't it obvious, Train? Captain Hitsugaya is-" Yumichika didn't get to finish his sentence because Ikkaku covered his friend's big mouth.

"...Is impacient. He must have been waiting for us like hours to get here", Ikkaku said as an excuse to their new friend. He looked at the sky and said quickly, "Wow, look at the time we need to head back before Captain Zaraki yells at us when we're not training."

Train gave the two soul reapers a look. A look that made both of men have a chill down their spines. He glanced at them like he was trying to read their thoughts. Until he closed his eyes as he smiled at them saying, "Well, it was nice meeting you guys. Hope I'll see you soon."

"Okay, I guess we're going now. 'Bye." After that, Ikkaku who hold onto Yumichika swift out of there in a flash.

Both Toshiro and Train sweatdropped at the scenery. Train had no clue what just happen while Toshiro was relieved Ikkaku didn't let Yumichika rat him out. That would've been embarrassing. Toshiro started walking inside squad 1. He turned to Train to assumed if he was coming or not. Sure enough the new spirit followed before he took one last glanced where both subordinants ran off. Train shrugged and went through the gates of the 1st division.

~BCR~

Ikkaku glanced through the corner as Train went into squad 1. He lets go of his friend since he noticed the coast was clear. Yumichika glared at him demanding for an explanation were written in his eyes. Ikkaku sighed and explained the situation. "The reason I got you out of there because Train's a bit oblivious to notice Captain Hitsugaya's feelings for him. Do you get it?"

"Well, duh. I've known since he save him from getting wet." The narcisstant sighed heavily. "The way their eyes meet each other. The way Hitsugaya gazed at him coming closer and closer until-"

"All right, no more romance novels for you before bedtime", Ikkaku reassured his companion.

"I mean it, Ikkaku. There's love in the air. I can feel it!"

"Yeah, for now keep it to yourself. I think he's an idiot if he doesn't know what love is."

"You don't know what love is either."

"Of course I know what love is! I love fighting! That meant for something!"

"Silly Cueball Head, I'm talking about compassionate love. Your definition of love is a base on a hobby."

"Whatever just don't be Cupid if things go bad."

"That I might not promise on."

And so the two walked on to squad 11 where they were placed with fight-lovers like themselves, especially the captain.

~BCR~

Inside squad 1's hallway Train was amazed by the structure of the place. It was so huge you can use it as a five-star hotel! Everwhere he looked is big. Toshiro thought Train's behavior resembles a young child experiencing a place. He silently chuckled to himself at the very idea of it. Until squad 1's lieutenant, Chojiro Sasakiba appears in front of him.

"I see you have return, Captain Hitsugaya." He said as he bowed in respect of the young prodigy.

"Yes, I have. Is the Head Captain in his office? I came to report him myself."

"Of course. It's about the source of high spiritual pressure. Captain Yamamoto had started the meeting now. Where is the soul?"

"What do you mean 'where is the soul'? He's right...Train? Heartnet? Dammit! Where did he go?"

A female subordinant with short brown hair went up to her superior, the lieutenant, and bowed. "Sir, were you showing your relative around the division?"

"A relative of mine?" Chojiro questioned. "I don't have a relative. What does this person looked like?"

"Well, he has messy brown hair, weird clothes", she starts blushing as she continues, "gold eyes, and a nice tan. His white shirt has an opening showing his a piece of his chest and tattoo! Oh! He's so handsome!"

Toshiro sighed in relief. 'Yeah, it's him alright.' Then, he asked her, "Did he say where he was going?"

"Now that you mention it he did ask where's the Head Captain is. I asked him why but he told me, in his most sexy voice, 'I was just want to talk to him. And if you see a person name Toshiro tell him I'm off to find the guy.' Since I don't sense anything dangerous about him I told him where he holds his captains' meeting. I was going to tell him he's in the middle of one but he ran off before I get to tell him. Do you anyone who's name is Toshiro?" On cue, Hitsugaya ran after Train bfore he crashed the captains' meeting! "Did I said somthing wrong to him?" she asked Chojiro.

"It's seems Captain Hitsugaya's late for a meeting."

"Oh", she said understandedly.

~BCR~

"...And further more the more we teach this soul how to control his spiritual pressure the sooner he'll become a captain prodigy such as Captain Hitsugaya", Head Captain announced to the rest of the captains. He continues, "During today, you all noticed Captain Hitsugaya's return. He approached to my office telling me he found the soul in Karakura. This is the very reason why I have announced all of you to be here now."

"Oh goody. We'll finally get to see the all-powerful soul", said Captain Kurosutchi happily. "I can't wait to experiment on its body!"

"Not before I get to fight with it first!" Captain Zaraki yelled.

"I need to conduct research for this specimen! I will not let you have your way in killing it just for your own pleasure!"

"And I'm not letting you turn it into your guinea pig for your own pleasure!"

"Enough!" yelled Captain Yamamoto. "Neither of you will lay a hand on it when it makes an appearance before us. Do I make myself clear? Both arguing captains took a step back in their post. Not daring to disobey the strongest captain among them. "We don't have all the information there is in this soul so be prepare if it decided to bring in chaos."

All the captains nodded their heads until someone pushed the door open causing the rest to look at their unwanted guest. It's none other than our favorite person Train Heartnet making his entrance. He approached them without having fear coming to his mind. His hands rest in his pockets, his eyes closed, his cat smile never leaving his face, and his shoes echoed in the room. The crowd was quiet making Train's footsteps louder in each step. He stopped an inch between Captain Kurosutchi and Captain Ukitake. He opened his eyes with his smile still glued to his face. Heartnet lifted his hand out of his pocket and kept raising it up. The 8 captains had their hands on their katanas ready to take actions. Train gestured his two finger beside his head and gave a short solute with a simple "Yo". All of them blinked like he's crazy or something. Is that all he has to say?

"Wow, tough crowd." he continues letting his eyes wonder around the room taking every last detail in view. The captains were, too, gazing at their unexpected visitor. How dare he disturd a meeting only sutable for captains only. Who does this person think he is? Train's golden eyes went onto the old man in the center. His eyebrow went up thinking if he should ask the old man. His soluted fingers become a point to the head captain. "Are you Head Captain Yamamoto?"

Yamamoto glared at Train with his black beady eyes, which can pierce at anyone's soul to see if they are telling the truth. "What if I am? What do you accomplished to deal with me, ryoka?"

"Ryoka?" Train tilts his head a bit. The two female captains, Soifon and Unohana, mentally squealed at how cute he is. He shook his head. "Whatever that is I'm not this "ryoka". I'm actually here because you guys were looking for me."

They were looking for him? What is he talking about? "May we ask what your name is?" asked Komamura.

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. My name is-"

"There you are, Heartnet." Everyone in the room, including Train, had their eyes toward the door where an irritated Captain Hitsugaya stood. He walked up to Train. "What were you thinking Train? You can't run off without knowing where you're going. You're lucky you didn't cause any trouble before I got here. Even though you were starting to."

"Hey, Toshiro. I guess the girl told you I was heading here, huh?" the brunette said as his hand rubs his back neck nervously. He gets more nervous when he saw Toshiro's teal eyes glaring at him. "Is it me or is the room a lot colder?"

The child prodigy went by his nervous companion to face the rest of the captains. He bowed down and said, "As you can see I have return with the source of the high spiritual pressure. The man who stand before you is a deceased bounty hunter, Train Heartnet." Train saw basically everyone's confused expression. The person with Captain Hitsugaya is the powerful soul he was assigned to search? "I have seen his powers up close and believe me as I say this he has a magnificent gift."

"I don't believe it 'til I see it", Kenpachi stated.

"This is one thing I actually agree with you, Captain Zaraki", says Soifon. "How can a soul like him be stronger than any of us put together? We couldn't sense his spirit energy when he came in. If you ask me I think he's nothing more than those weak souls in the Rukongai."

"Man, you're a cold woman. Maybe it's one of those reasons why you look like a shrew." Train commented on Soifon. The captains were trying (and I quote trying) to hold in their laughter. Even the head captain was doing his best not to chuckle at this. But Toshiro and Juushiro were only letting out a cough to hide their chuckle. Soifon glared at him with one of her death glares.

Kurosutchi managed to calm himself first to let out his thought. He notices the brunette's tattoo. "Why do you have the number thirteen in roman numeral?"

"Well it's a a memory of my old job. My I ask why d you look like a demented clown, which is every kids worst nightmare coming to life?" This time the whole room was filled with laughter! Kurosutchi anger roses up as he glares at the joking brunette. "May I go now? When it comes to long speech I get easily bored. Damn, where can a guy get some milk around here?" Seriously, he thinks of milk at a time like this. Everyone, even Toshiro, were a bit stunned at something that's coming out of his mouth. He could die where he stand at any minute!

Toshiro nervously thought to himself, 'What am I going to do? If Train can't prove himself to Captain Yamamoto and the others who knows what they'll do to him! I have to think of something and fast. That's it!' He glanced at Train who looks like he could pass out at any time. "Train, if you can't find milk why don't you make milk out of your reishi?"

The stray cat dude's eyes lit up in happiness. It caused Toshiro to let out another light blush on his cheeks. Only one captain saw his reaction and that's Captain Ukitake. "Thanks Toshiro! Why didn't I thought of it before?"

"It's impossible!" yelled Captain Yamamoto.

"No one can make life out of reishi!" argued Komamura.

"There's only two kinds of beings who are able to use reishi. The Quincies and the Bounts. The Quincies absorb reishi to form them into bows and arrows as their weapons. Where as Bounts absorb them to increase in their strengths", Captain Kurosutchi explained. "Since he's not a Quincy nor is he a Bount I hardly believe the like of him would be able to control such a power. If he has that sort of power."

"Wow, this is a tough room", Train said.

"I want to see this "power" for myself", the silent Captain Kuchiki spoke.

'The silent one speaks', Train thought. He looked at Kuchiki. 'What's with those weird noodle things on his head and isn't he a bit warm with his scarf on?' Byakuya noticed him staring at him strangely. He was going to snap when he heard Captain Kyoraku speak.

"Sure, I want to see it. It could be interesting."

"I wouldn't mind, either. It's just a drink he want. I don't see nothing wrong with it." Jushiro said.

Kenpachi nodded but deep down he wanted to know if Train's as powerful as the reports stated about him.

Train closed his eyes and concentrated his reishi on the existence of his usual tasty, delicious milk in a bottle. As he does this the captains were in shocked to sensed his spiritual pressure rising a bit and his contration on reishi. Kenpachi grinned on how much fun his challenge will be with Train. Kurosuchi also grinned on how much fun he'll get to experiment on the young man's body. Searching for answers inside his organs.

As Heartnet's body slowly dim the glowing light and his spiritual pressure slowly decreasing he hold out the light form in his hand. The glowing form became clear. It's the glass bottle milk Train wanted. He opened his eyes and smiled. He finally got milk! Train opened the plastic top and drank the milk. It's as good as he remnember when he was alive.

"Amazing", replied Captain Unohana.

"Remarkable", Captain Kurosutchi said. "I must experiment on him!"

"Captain Kurosutchi! Are you going against my order? I simply stated not to harm the source." Captain Yamamoto reminded him.

"What are we going to do, Head Captain?" Unohana asked.

"I can see Captain Hitsugaya was right before. But I am concern on the near future if someone were to control such a power. One idea which comes in mind is executing him."

"Head Captain! You can't do this! He just arrived and you're putting judgement on him?" Toshiro couldn't help but yell about his opinion.

"Is there another option?" Train asked with his eyes full of seriousness. "It's clear I didn't do anything to you. But let me tell you something if I am going to die yet again. You see Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya before you now? You should thank me because there were a group of strong hollows outnumbering him! He wouldn't be here right now if I didn't act."

The old man's eyes left Train and went to the young captain. "Is this true, Captain Hitsugaya?"

"Yes, Head Captain. Every word Train told you is the truth. After he saved me, he killed every hollow that attacked me with his weapon out of reishi and carried me to Urahara's." Toshiro explained bravely.

"It's impossble! No whole, like him, can do those things without shinigami training! It's obsurd, crazy, insane-!" Soifon argued.

"I think we get it", Train interrupted her. "Especially me."

Yamamoto took in a deep breath. "It could be possible to sign you into Soul Reaper Academy. With the right set of skills you'll be a professional shinigami in no time. If there is no problem in keeping your powers a secret."

"Wait, I have to go to school?"

"It's either that or death, your choice." Toshiro reassured him.

Train dropped in his head as a dark cloud went over him. "Great, this must be my worst day ever."

"I'll let the headmaster know of you joining the rest. You'll start tomorrow."

The cloud disappears and Train's head went up. "Why tomorrow?"

"The old saying goes: the sooner the better." Yamamoto said. "Meeting dismissed." He bang his cane down. Every captain left the room, each one looking at Train at either glares or glances.

"We should go, too, Train. You had a long day."Toshiro said. "Follow me, I'll let you sleep in my quarters for the night." They walked in the mid-afternoon to his office in squad 10. (A/N: I don't know where captains sleep so I'm winging it.) "Train, are you nervous?"

"Huh?" Train said getting back to reality. He forgot he hasn't finish drinking his milk yet.

"Are you scared about going to academy so soon? The first semester has already started. It's too late to go in since the entrance exams are finished."

"To be honest, I'm a bit nervous. I never gone to school when I was little so this is a first for me."(A/N: Still winging it!)

Toshiro widened his eyes. "What?" He never went to school? Then what has he been doing this entire time? "How do you know how to read or write?"

"From experience I guess. The point is this might be exciting for me. I get to meet new people and I might learn to actually learn how to control this weird power I have."

"Just watch your back, Train. There are those who'll do anything to see their victim fall."

"So it's really your average high school/college version of the dead." He gave Toshiro the rest of his milk. "Here, you can have it."

"I don't want your milk, even though you do have your germs on it." Train rolled his eyes and took the bottle as he wiped the top with his shirt. He gave it back to him again. "Fine, I drink it if you stop bothering me about it."

"Come on, it's good for you. It'll help you grow up big and strong."

"Your point is?"

"It might help-Nevermind. You don't have to drink it if you don't want to."

The very thought of Toshiro drinking the same bottle from Train might be like taking his first kiss to him..."DAMMIT! STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!"

"Stop thinking about what?"

Toshiro's face went to red mode since he yelled out his thought to his crush! "I meant stop thinking about... how short I am!"

"Like I said you don't have to drink the milk if you don't want to."

"I never said I didn't want to. It makes me think like I'm a kid."

"Toshiro, I've been drinking milk for more than 14 years. In my adult years people ask me why I drink milk. I told them because I love drinking them. Who cares if it's only for little kids? It's still good for your bones. So what do you say now?"

Toshiro was admired by Train's short speech. He doesn't care what people think of him! He was proud of who he is today! With a final decision Toshiro gulped down nearly the entire bottle. He let out a gasp of oxygen after a large gulp. "I say you have good taste in milk."

Heartnet laughed while Toshiro blush got bigger. He loved his laugh. "Well, let's go to your quarters!" So off they went to his office.

~BCR~

"Nice...office." Train said trying his best not to insult Captain Hitsugaya. The young captain's office were filled with paperwork everywhere on the floor!

"Just say it. My office is a mess. WHERE IS MATSUMOTO?" Toshiro yelled while Train put his hands on his ears.

"Geez, any louder and I might become deaf."

"I'm sorry if this sort of bothering you. It happens everyday." He sighed. Train felt bad for him. Doing all the work by humself.

"Hey, where's your living quarters again?"

"Follow me." As ordered Heartnet followed Toshiro to his room. When they their Toshiro open his door. His room was small and neat. A big comfy bed right next to the window, a desk next to his bed, and a two slided door where it is the closet. Hitsugaya set the still bottle milk on the desk and looked at his guest. "If you're tired you can sleep on my bed while I sleep on the floor."

"That's hardly seem fair for you."

"Don't argue with me I'm not in the mood."

"Because of the paperwork?"

"Yes." As he said this he gritted his teeth together.

"Then why don't you take a nap?"

Toshiro stared at Train like he's crazy. "What?"

"Take. A. Nap."

"I. Don't. Have. Time."

"Then. Make. Time."

This moment their face were an inch having both their noses touch together. "Agh! I don't have time for this!" Toshiro took the milk with him and out he went to his office.

"Man, Toshiro needs a break big time." He sighed and went to sleep.

~BCR~

In the squad 12's lab, Captain Mayuri Kurosutchi keeps pondering on Train Heartnet's tattoo. Basically, humans love to have many tattoos on their body. But Train told him "it's a memory of his old job". What kind of job that requires a member to have a tattoo of a Roman number? Also, this number happens to be 13, the unlucky number. What could it mean?

"Nemu", he calls his lieutenant and daughter to him. The artificial soul approaches him. "I need you to go in to the world of the living to do some research."

"What kind of research, Father?" Nemu asks the demented clown known as her father/creator.

"I need you to search for any kind of place/job that requires their members to have Roman numbers on their body parts."

"Not to sound rude, Captain, but why are you trying so hard to learn about this?"

"I'm quite curious of a new soul appearing today in the captain's meeting having a tattoo on his right chest. He said it's a reminder of his old job. I want to know what he used to be before beside being a bounty hunter. Now go, I'll let the department open the senkaimon for you. And don't forget to give me proof of your discovery." Nemu bows and runs off to the gate. "I can't wait to see what she obtains from the living world." He grins a sinister smile on his face excited to see what she learns when she gets back.

To be continued...
