Shuhei Hisagi was waiting in his office when Toushiro and all three of the new captains came in. looking up, he just stared at them as they filed inside, looking around intently. Only Toushiro was looking at him and he decided to stand up, as it really was the polite thing to do.

"Shuhei, this is Thomas Darkshade. He will be your new captain." The small captain explained bluntly, motioning towards the only one of the new captains that wasn't now focused on the lieutenant. Shuhei bowed slightly at Toushiro before moving his eyes to Aiedail who, at a nudge from Amy, had decided to look at him.

"Yes captain Hitsugaya."

"Aiedail, this is your lieutenant, Shuhei Hisagi. He will help you get your bearings." He told the purple haired boy before walking to the door. Amy grinned at both Shuhei and Aiedail before following Toushiro out, Damien just in front of her. The pair left in the room just looked at each other for a moment before Aiedail offered his hand in greeting. Shuhei smiled slightly before grasping it. Aiedail grinned.

"Momo!" Toushiro yelled as he waked through the fifth squad barracks. She hadn't been in her office where she should have been, forcing the trio to look for her elsewhere. They hadn't been roaming the corridors long but it was long enough to try on Toushiro's patience. Suddenly a black haired head popped curiously from round a door.

"Yes Shiro-chan?" she asked innocently.

"That's captain Hitsugaya. Anyway, can you look after captain Robins please? He needs to get his bearings." Toushiro asked, forcing his voice to be calm. Momo grinned.

"Sure. Would you like to follow me captain robins?" she asked shyly. Damien grinned back at her.

"I would be honoured Momo." He answered before following her round the corner. Toushiro sighed heavily.

"Hey, your taking care of us is almost over! Rejoice in your being able to get rid of us." Amy encouraged with a smile. Toushiro looked at her for a moment before continuing down the corridor towards third.

"Yes but that means I have to deal with Matsumoto." He told her heavily, causing her to giggle slightly.

"She's not that bad. I like her." She told him happily. He raised his eyebrow before shaking his head and saying nothing. This caused Amy to giggle again as they began to flash step through the soul society, arriving at the thirds squad barracks in a small amount of time. Walking into the main office, Amy looked around. This office looked no different form any of the others but there was something about it she liked. Maybe it was just the fact that it was hers.

Izuru Kira sat behind the desk, watching in surprise as Toushiro came in. his surprise lifted slightly when Amy came in next, her eyes bright as she studied the office that would soon be her own. He wondered what she was thinking as she looked at the walls. They were no different to any of the other offices so why should she find it as interesting as she did.

"Good morning captain Hitsugaya." Kira greeted formally, his eyes not really looking at the young captain. Amy looked round at the blonde, her eyes twinkling as she studied him. He thought her eyes looked calculating, as if she were trying to figure out a puzzle and put it back together.

"Good morning Izuru. This is Amelia Jones and as you may have already figured out she is the new captain of the third squad. Please help her get her bearings." Toushiro informed the lieutenant before watching as the blond bowed and leaving the room, smiling slightly as Amy waved him goodbye.

Amy turned to the boy in front of her in interest. He seemed to be fairly shy, looking at the way he didn't quite meet her eyes and that he had his fringe covering the left side of his face. Then she smiled.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you." She told him with a smile. He looked up at her before bowing slightly.

"Likewise, captain Jones." He replied before rising again and looking up to see that Amy had a strange look on her face. He raised an eyebrow slightly before hesitantly asking; "what is it captain?" she blinked before smiling slightly.

"Oh, nothing really. I was just thinking that this is going to take a long time to get used to…" she replied. Then, suddenly, she groaned before turning to the door just as an over excited Aiedail flitted in; barging straight through the door with so much force it almost broke.

"Amy! This place is great! I've only seen half of it but its already bigger than England! It so cool!" he told her excitedly, ignoring the now shocked looking lieutenant. Shuhei walked in behind him with an annoyed frown on his face, his arms by his sides as he studied his new captain.

"Sorry Shuhei!" Amy called, poking her face round the still ranting Aiedail. "He'll calm down in a couple of days but if he ever gets too much just give him a cup of tea or something. That usually helps." She told the boy dryly causing his mouth to twitch slightly in amuse meant and Aiedail to frown, cutting off from his earlier rant. Then she turned back to Kira with an apologetic look on her face. "This is Thomas Darkshade, new captain of the ninth squad. Aiedail, this is…" she furrowed her eyes in confusion. "What's your full name? Izuru something wasn't it?" she asked, her voice confused but apologetic. Kira blinked.

"Izuru Kira." He told her as he tried to get used to the madness that had suddenly appeared. Amy grinned before turning back to Aiedail. He was still frowning but his expression cleared as he turned to the lieutenant.

"Nice to meet you." He said with a smile. Kira nodded before replying the same as he had to Amy.

"Likewise captain Darkshade." Aiedail nodded slightly before turning back to Shuhei.

"What's next on this tour then?" he asked his own lieutenant happily. Shuhei held back a sigh before turning to the two third officers.

"Captain, Izuru." He said, nodding at them in turn before leading his captain out. Aiedail waved happily before flash stepping away with Shuhei. Amy stood there for a moment before wandering over to the sofa and collapsing ungracefully onto it. Kira watched her for a moment as she placed her arms over her eyes and sighed loudly.

"He your friend captain?" Kira asked nervously. He still wasn't sure exactly how much informality he could get away with but he didn't believe she was particularly harsh. Amy looked at him with one eye through a hole between her arms before sitting up and smiling.

"You could say that." She replied. "Though sometimes I wonder what on earth I was thinking when I decided to be his friend. Way too much like hard work." She replied before eyeing Kira's stiff posture and getting up. "So; do I get a tour?" she asked teasingly causing Kira's so start slightly, thinking he had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry captain, please follow me." He said hurriedly, moving towards the door. Amy chucked slightly before following him. She got the impression that this was going to become a good friendship. She liked the lieutenant.

Well, I think I've gotten past the bit that had me getting you waiting. I don't know if I've kept them in character particularly well but I hope that I have. I wasn't really sure what kind of reactions the lieutenants would give so I kind of just winged it… hope your liking it so far!
