Before I start, I would like to say thanks to Tuliharja, the Unnamed reviewer, and 10th Squad 3rd Seat. Thanks for your support.

Chapter 11:

-The Tenth Division-

Toshiro walked up to the Tenth Division doors, which automatically opened for him, and as he stepped through he noticed everyone in the division was standing around waiting for him to arrive. Toshiro sighed and readied himself for his introduction, and when everyone realized that he was walking towards them, they gave him a very confused look.

"My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya, I have been appointed as the new Captain of Squad Ten. I don't know any of you, and you do not know me, but during each of our interactions I'm sure that we'll get to know each other. But for now, I need to know exactly how strong and skilled each of you are, therefore tomorrow I will hold a sparing session for the whole division. As long as all goes well, it should only last no more then an hour or so, and after your finished you may have the rest of the day to yourselves. It will be at eight in the morning so you better rest yourselves up." Toshiro said silently, but with force and then turned towards the Tenth's office.

They all just stood there for a while, still with their confused looks, "He's a...kid?" a male member said as Toshiro disappeared.

"I thought that was just a joke." said another in utter disbelief.

"And now he wants us to spar? Just to figure out what level we're at?" the first said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Well I don't know, I think he seems rather mature for his age." a female claimed, and while most nodded in agreement, others shook their heads and all but laughed at the notion.

"Are you guys crazy? He's too young to be in a Captains position, no matter how mature he tries to look." the first man practically yelled.

A few feet away Toshiro slightly smirked; "I'll admit myself..." everyone turned around and went wide eyed as they saw the white haired Captain himself once again standing before them with his arms crossed.

"I'm not exactly the most intimidating person you could meet, nor am I the tallest." he continued, as his smirk disappeared and was replaced by his normal icy glare.

"But I do have every qualification for being a Captain, and that includes achieving Bankai." he said increasing his glare and beginning to radiate a very icy and dangerous spiritual pressure, which made everyone's doubts of him instantly disappear, just from the intensity of it.

"Y-you've achieved B-Bankai? At such a young age?" the man asked, with his voice slightly cracking from the sudden temperature drop.

Toshiro nodded, "I graduated the academy in one year, I mastered Shikai five months afterwards, and achieved Bankai three years right after that, I have yet to perfect it completely, but I definitely have enough experience to be a Captain." he said focusing not only his glare but his spirit energy at the man that had the most doubt.

He instantly bowed down, not only out of respect, but out of the sheer strength of Toshiro's spirit energy; "My apologies Captain...I meant not to offend you!" Toshiro never released his glare but ceased leaking his spiritual pressure.

"See you all tomorrow." he said right before he shunpoed away, leaving the shocked and rather cold shinigami to slightly relax once more.

-The next day at the Tenth's training grounds-

Toshiro stood about twenty feet away from all of his sparing squad members, glancing over to each of them to check their progress, but he never seemed to look at one specific person. As they were finally beginning to finish up their sessions, there was a sudden loud 'boom' and a large shake of the ground. And when they all turned to see what had happened, they that it was some sort of masked figure had shattered the ground that their Captain had been standing a moment before.

They looked around to find their somehow missing Captain, but to no avail and apparently neither did the attacker. But when they heard a 'clang' of two swords hitting together, they looked back at the attacker and saw their Captain clashing swords with them. Toshiro locked blades with the mystery person over and over again, then he swung his sword up, which sent the other persons sword up as well, and just as Toshiro was about to slice his opponent through their waist, they brought their sword back to their side to block, but the force of Toshiro's swing sent his opponent sliding backwards.

Then as the masked person came to a halt, Toshiro used shunpo to get right out in front of them, but before Toshiro could do anything further the person took off their mask, revealing it to be...Yoruichi, of course. But Toshiro was taken off guard, not because it was her; in fact he had known it was her since the beginning; he was caught off guard because she instantly jumped on him, knocking him to the ground, with his arms pinned beneath her legs and her blade stuck in the ground next to his head; "Ha ha! I win!" she exclaimed happily.

But then Toshiro lightly grinned, lifted her up with just his arms, knocked her back, flipped his sword around in a reverse grip, and stuck it six inches above her neck. She was shocked by the turn of events, but she smiled regardless, "Awwww, no fair! You cheated!" she whined.

He just lightly smirked, got up, and helped her to her feet; "Well you should have seen that coming." he said sheathing his zanpakuto.

She crossed her arms, turned her head away from him, stuck out her bottom lip, and closed her eyes; "You still cheated." she pouted.

His smirk became wider and he closed his eyes as well, "Hmph, well if I did...only you would know, since you always had to cheat to beat me."

She looked back at him with a devious smile, but then looked away again, "I don't know whaaaaaat your talking about!" she said continued to pout, trying not to laugh, but eventually not able to help it anymore and busted out into a fit of laughter, then she ran up and gave him yet another hug.

Toshiro raised a brow to this, "You just saw me yesterday, you do remember that don't you?" he questioned silently as his squad members started to walk over with a bit of confusion.

Even though Toshiro had grown over the years Yoruichi had grown a just a little bit more then him, she was about five foot tall and he was four foot four inches, so most of the members thought it looked kind of funny watching a girl that looked about 16 to 17 hugging a 12 to 13 year old as if she 'liked' him; 'Hmmm, could they be..?' most of then thought.

"Wellllll, my dad retired his position as the Captain of the Second Division, Commander of the Onmitsukido, and the Head of the Shihoin Family...now it all more less falls onto my shoulders to take care of all those things, I haven't even started my Bankai training and...I guess I just needed some comfort." she said sounding pretty overwhelmed by her situation.

Toshiro glanced over to the approaching squad members, broke their hug and slightly narrowed his eyes on hers; "Why didn't you just go to Kisuke? He's been working on that device that is supposed to be able help develop Bankai." he questioned a little bitterly, while mentioning going to Kisuke.

Yoruichi looked at him slightly widened eyes, then her eye lids dropped halfway, along with her head, "I...I wanted to come to you." she said with an attempted smile.

Toshiro nodded, a bit ashamed at his cold manner towards her, he sighed deeply as he thought of his response; "Well, I suppose I could help you train for your bankai, but I don't know how else I can help with the rest of your problems." he said with a slight shrug.

She looked deep into his eyes and gave a light smile. "Thanks Toshiro! *looks up in thought* Oh I know! I just thought of another way you can help me out!" she said snapping her fingers as she got a 'brilliant' idea.

'Why do I get the feeling that it'll be something that I'll have to do most of the work for...again.' he thought to himself, inwardly rolling his eyes.

"How about you join the Onmitsukido and become the Second in Command? Or maybe we can arrange a duel Command for it! I'm sure I can work something out, I'll be the Commander soon, so I shouldn't have a problem getting you in...besides it'll make it much easier for me, so what do ya say?" she asked with large eyes, hands folded in front of her as if praying, and her bottom lip puffed out; it was the cutest look she could muster, and it was also something that she knew no one could say 'no' to...including Toshiro.

He just sighed looked over at his squad members again, which had come up to form a large half circle shape around them, he sighed again, looked back at Yoruichi and her cute 'kitty-cat' face; "Alright fine, just don't try dumping me with all of your work." he said sincerely but also firmly.

She immediately squealed and latched herself on him., "Yaaaaaay! Thank You Toshiro! Your The Best!"

Toshiro slowly sighed, and returned her hug, but then pried her off when he heard a few snickers from his squad members, but she kept her arms around his neck regardless; "Alright, I need to get back to my squad Yoruichi, I think you should go see Kisuke and tell him to get his experiment ready."

Yoruichi let go of him and smiled, "Ok, your still gonna come with me for my Bankai training right? After all you've already achieved yours." she asked with a slight pleading smile.

He just sighed at her once more, but nodded all the same, "Thank you again Toshiro, I'll see you later!" she said giving him a quick peck on his cheek before walking away.

She waved to him and disappeared with a shunpo, "Alright, sorry about that. Since I watched most of the session I'll make my assumptions and act accordingly, thank you for participating; your all dismissed." he said regaining his ice-like manner.

They all left the training grounds as quickly as possible, but as they did, Toshiro heard a few side conversations about what had transpired between himself and his friend; "Wow Lieutenant Shihoin really likes our Captain, he he, he really has it good." was the over all most common statement said.

At first Toshiro had glared at these people for such conclusions, but after they all looked away, he allowed a smirk to come up on his face.

There's chapter eleven, hope you all enjoyed. Don't forget to R &R.
