There will be a lot more mistakes than usual because I'm speeding through the whole chapter... Still, hope you could enjoy.


"Hitsugaya, you can open your eyes now."

He opened his eyes and found himself in a room along with the 5th seat officer. The room had red carpeted floor, mural covering the wall and glass glamorous lamp hung from the ceiling above. He's in the royal ground, the other dimension that the king lives in.

"HItsugaya-kun, please follow me." Hitsugaya knitted his eyebrows together. Was it him or was it that the 5th seat was addressing him more and more informally? But nevertheless he followed after the 5th seat.

The 5th seat opened the golden handled wooden door which lead to a large empty hallway.

The walked all the way to the other end of the hallway before a door appeared on the right and a turning on the left. It took him 15 minutes.

The 5th seat knocked on the door, a dark and reported, "5th seat Kurotaki Hika reporting with Hitsugaya Toushirou."

A voice boomed from within, "Come in."

Hitsugaya looked in and saw two people one at the desk and another in front of it. They were wearing what looks like a captain haori but instead of white it's black in colour. They entered the room. The one seated in front of the desk said, "Greetings, Hitsugaya Toushirou. Welcome to Squad 0. My name is Sakihara Akiha and he is our taichou, Hosaka Daiki." The fukutaichou looked at the taichou waiting for a reply but the taichou continued reading his report.

"Nice to meet you, taichou, fukutaichou." Hitsugaya greeted with a bow, it was a long time since he last did that. A very long time ago.

"Hika, will you please show Toushirou his room and then bring him to the common soom for introduction. Thank you." The fukutaichou then turned around dismissing them.

After they exited the room the taichou who had been reading his report all the while looked up, "So he's the boy."

"Yes, he is. I could never forget his eyes."

"It's a wonder."

"Maybe…"

Hitsugaya found himself standing in front of a crowd who seems to be unable to believe their eyes. He had went to his bedroom, it was well… Even larger than his formal taichou chamber. The toilet itself was twice the size of his old one. Water for bath was from the nearby spring. They were treated as if they were royal themselves. All the boxes was stacked neatly in the middle of the room. He had opened the cabinet at the far end of the room. In it contained two haori similar to the captain haori, just without any words at the back.

After wearing the haori, he went out of his bedroom expecting Hika to be there but he wasn't. Hitsugaya then decided to follow Hika's reiatsu after which he found himself in front od the crowd who seem to be unable to believe their eyes.

"2 minutes and 16.15 seconds. Oh my, it only took him this short?"

"Oh gosh… He's even a kid…"

"Geez, who IS this?"

"He looks no older than 7."

Hitsugaya scowled at the remarks. Just what is happening here?

Suddenly the door slided open, the taichou and fukutaichou stepped into the room. Many gaped in surprised. Normal, the fukutaichou and the taichou wouldn't attend the ceremony. Fukutaichou attending is rare enough, but… both?

After recovering from the shock, all the member bowed to the two and greeted, "Taichou. Fukutaichou."

Hitsugaya moved further into the room and tried to blend into the crowd allowing the taichou and fukutaichou to step up to the middle of the room. He doesn't want to attract any more attention then he already had.

But before he could do that, the fukutaichou placed a hand on his shoulders, preventing him from retreating. The fukutaichou then smiled gently at him which reminded him of Ukitake.

The fukutaichou then moved his gaze to the crowd, his voice serious, "Well, everyone. This is the new member of our Squad. His name is Hitsugaya Toushirou. He's well… the youngest here, so take good care of him."

He even sounded like Ukitake taichou…

The crowd answered, "Hai."

Then the two left.

Once the two were out of the earshot of their members, the taichou spoke, "His reiatsu seems to be growing even now."

"It seems to be so."

"It seems like we have an interesting member here."

"Taichou…" The fukutaichou looked at the taichou weakly.


Author's note: Well, I wasn't expecting such a packed holiday so in the end I had speed through the chapter. So there will be many mistakes, I'll come back and polish it when all the thing that need to be done are done. I don't feel like getting grounded and banned from accessing to fanfiction. Writing FF is my life! I promise you guys that the next chapter will be earlier than this chapter. Give me two week for the next chapter. Don't ya give up on me! (innocent twinkling eyes.)
