I was walking with Renji to the barracks of the Kuchiki clan. When we arrived I never seen such a big place that is own by a clan.

"Renji, why would Captain Byakuya want to adopt me?" I asked.

"Um... I really don't know." Renji seem a bit curious to find out the answer to my question.

Once we enter the household, Byakuya was waiting for us.

"Renji, you may leave." He stated.

"Hai" Renji flash step out of the household.

"You will be trained by Captain Ukitake from the 13th division."

"Hai" I hope that Captain Ukitake is able to make me stronger.

"You may leave. Hana will show you where your room is." He stated.

Hana was a maid and she said that I could call her if I needed anything. She gave me a schedule on which I have to follow. It was simple really. Breakfast will be served at 8, lunch at 2 and dinner at 6 o'clock. My training will be from 9-11 am and my teaching of proper manners is from 12-1:30. I have free time for myself at 3-5 (I plan on spending it with Renji) and 7-8 will be studying the history of the Soul Society and stuff like that. 9pm-7am is when I sleep, obviously.

The first day I was excited but I soon realize I couldn't bring out my sword. It only been 20 minutes.

"Why can't I bring my sword out! " I screamed.

"Calm down, Rukia. It takes time, you can't expect it to appear on the first day of training." Captain Ukitake said calmly.

" yeah, yeah I know but I talk to her before when he captured me so why can't I bring her out?" I was so frustrated! I didn't know what to do.

"It takes practice." He said.

This went on for 40 minutes.

"Ahhhhhhh! I give up!" I had enough, why won't Shirayuki come out!

"You must not, Rukia. You do want to defeat Aizen, right?" Ukitake asked.

"Yeah, but-"

"No buts, you need to keep practicing."Ukitake interrupted.

"Fine." I grumbled.

The first day of training I didn't even awaken my sword I felt so, I don't know, disappointed. And a failure. But I won't give up, not again!

The rest of the day was slow and boring. When it was my free time, Renji couldn't hang out with me since he was busy with "lieutenant work." So I decided to take a look around. I past the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth. The barracks seem quiet and boring I wonder if there's anything fun to do around here. All of the sudden I felt something go around me and squeezed me from behind.

"What the-" I somehow managed to say.

"Matsumoto, let her go." Said an irritated man.

"But Captainnnn, it's Rukia." Matsumoto said while letting go of me. Oh I forgot I reach the tenth division and it so happens Toshiro is the captain. Great just my luck to run into them, I just wanted to look around.

" Kuchiki, what are you doing here?" Toshiro stated.

"Um, I-I just wanted to look around and I guess I kinda sort of lost track of where my whereabouts are."

"Well, if you haven't notice you're in the tenth division and in my office." In his office... What I don't remember- oh yeah I was daydreaming.

"Sorry, I was daydreaming." He just look at me and raise one of his eyebrows in curiosity.

"Hahahahahahaha, Rukia you are so cute!" Matsumoto squealed.

"Thanks, I think."

"You should come over here everyday! And we both could annoy Captain and then-" Matsumoto rambled.

"Enough, Matsumoto!" Toshiro said in an annoyed voice.

"Um, I'll leave." I didn't want to bother them any longer than I had to. I left his office and was about to head back to the Kuchiki compound.

"Rukia, wait!" Matsumoto said.

"Okay." Wonder what she wants.

"How about we go out and drink sake?Hmmm."

" I don't drink" I simply stated.

"Ahhhh, you're no fun." She whined.

"Lieutenant Matsumoto, I really should be heading back." Which is true my free time is almost up.

"Oh okay, the reason why I called you is to say we, meaning all the captains and lieutenants, were under Aizen's hallucinations too."

"What?! You mean I wasn't the only one?" So that's how they know what I hallucinate.

"Yup, it happen to everyone. Rukia, he may seem cold but deep inside he is a cool guy. You just have to give him some time. That hallucination really upset him because it reminded him of his old memories of being a prince."

"Oh, I-I'm sorry I just thought he just mess with me."

"Not everything is about you, Rukia." She winked and flash towards the office.

I just kept thinking about what Matsumoto had said. All the Captains and lieutenants were under the same hallucinations as me? Just how powerful is Aizen? Well the rest of the day went by fast. I need some sleep so I could be well rested for tomorrow's training. I need to get stronger.
