A/N: I blame my not updating much on an early Christmas present my friend sent me, Sims 3 and the Studio Ghibli films I bought. I think this might be the last chapter.
Chapter 9
-(5 years in the future)-
Rukia stared at the sheet, then looked at the girl who gave it to her, "You don't know what you want to do in the future do you?" Hisana shrugged and Rukia took that as a no. "Do you know which university you want to attend?" Another shrug. Rukia passed the sheet to Ichigo.
"Actually, we have somewhere in mind. You might like it."
Hisana raised an eyebrow, "What university?"
"It's more of an academy, to be of exact the Spiritual Arts Academy."
There was a slight pause before Hisana realised what they were talking about. "You don't mean-"
"Also called the Shinigami Academy, yes."
"So I'll become a Shinigami?"
"If you manage to graduate."
"Of course I want to join the Academy."
Rukia took over Ichigo in talking, "You'll have to leave the Living World and most likely never return unless for an assignment. Also if you take the exam this year, you'll have to skip your last year of High School. You fine with that?"
"I'm fine with that, I mean I'll see my classmates again right?" Hisana joked.
"So you'll take the exam?"
Hisana hesitated then nodded.
-(11 years in the future)-
Ichigo yawned, "Why are graduations so boring?" Rukia shrugged, it was her first time witnessing a graduation as she had left the Academy early.
After an excruciating hour of boredom, Hisana walked towards her parents in her new Shinigami uniform. She held her Zanpakuto in one hand and a scroll which had an offer of taking the exam to enter the Gotei 13 in the other (A/N: See, I did my research.). Ichigo frowned, "don't act so happy yet, you aren't even in the Gotei 13 yet."
-(18 years in the future)-
Hisana sat up on her futon then yawned and stretched. She looked at the wall facing her and at the piece of paper stuck on it, it read 'WORK HARD AND GET TO FORTH SEAT, FIFTH SEAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH'. Her Zanpakuto, which in its sealed form was longer then a katana with a black bound hilt, lay below it on a cushion. She folded her futon and changed out of her bed clothes into her uniform before heading out of her room and barracks towards the Sixth Squad offices.
On her desk were a stack of papers, the Third Seat told her to send the papers to the Captain. She grabbed the papers and walked towards the Captain's Office where she found Renji conversing with Uncle Bya-, Kuchiki Taicho. Renji turned around and grinned, "Oh, Hisana-chan!" Hisana frowned, why did he still call her that? She wasn't a child anymore. "Kuchiki Taicho, more papers." Byakuya nodded and Renji teased Hisana, "Why don't you just call Taicho Uncle Byakuya?"
When Byakuya looked down towards the papers, Hisana hit Renji over the head with a book before quickly dismissing herself from the room. When Byakuya looked up again and gave a questioning look at his lieutenant who was holding his head in his hands. Renji grunted, "Unfortunately, she has the strength and temper of her mother."
A/N: AND...It's over! I've finally finished my first Bleach fic. And yes, I shall do the cheesy thing where I thank everybody. Firstly to my friend, classmate and fellow otaku who got me off my arse to write some fanfic, and who helped my post the first few chapters when my computer was broken.
Also to everyone who commented, favourited and alerted this story.
Happy New Year!
