Chapter 21: Sparing with 11th squad

A couple of months had passed since the trio had become seated officers in their squads and Miyuki had had a very late night and was not expecting what was to come.

"Miyuki! Wake up its gone midday and the Captain and Lieutenant have been looking for you!" Yuuji shouted from behind the door, "I'm coming in whether your awake or not"

Before Miyuki could reply to Yuuji there was a bang on the other side of the room from the back door being pulled open very quickly as Renji barged in and Yuuji opened the front door, "Rise and shine Miyuki" the two called simultaneously

"What the hell, that sounds like Renji as well. Damn him I will kill him someday", Miyuki thought as she uncovered her face.

"What the hell Renji, Yuuji. I'm not even up yet why the hell are you both in my room? Get out!" Miyuki shouted as she started to get out of bed.

"What the hell are those things?" Renji said pointing at Miyuki.

"What the hell is what Renji and why are you even here?" Miyuki replied standing up.

"On your head those things sticking up what the hell are they?" he said again, still freaking out.

So Miyuki patted herself on the head to see what Renji was on about. Which she realised it was her cat ears that rested on the sides of her crown – kike a cat's - and that was what he was freaking out for.

"Oh these, I wear there for fun" Miyuki said sarcastically

"Really?" Renji asked stupidly.

"No you dumb ass they are my real ears!" Miyuki shot back angrily, obviously annoyed by her friends total incompetence, "OK. OK, look. Yuuji can you give me my uniform from the wardrobe and Renji can you get me my sword from the desk by the back door?" Miyuki asked nicely as she calmed herself down.

As they did what she asked, Miyuki started to undress as all the commotion made her want to get up and get ready for the day ahead.

Just as she started undoing the sash on her kimono and pulling it off, Renji and Yuuji turned around and started freaking out again. Next minute her sword she asked Renji to get was on the floor near the back door and Renji nowhere to be seen, her uniform she asked Yuuji to get from the wardrobe was falling off the end of the bed with Yuuji also nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell did they go? I wonder. Oh well time to get changed I guess and go see what is planned for today" Miyuki thought.

So Miyuki carried on getting changed, put her sword on her back, made her bed, tided the room, shut the back door, before walking across her room and out the main door to find Renji and Yuuji outside on the floor looking pale as a ghost and hyperventilating.

"Why the hell are you to on the floor pale as a ghost?" Miyuki shouted kicking Renji and Yuuji lightly in the side.

"What is all the shouting about?" Captain Hitsugaya called from down the hall.

"Sorry Captain, Renji and Yuuji are on the floor as pale as a ghost and I have no idea why"

"Well if you didn't start getting changed while we were in your room, then we would be OK", called a weak Renji from the floor.

"Is that true Miyuki?" the Captain asked with a questioning look on his face.

"Well that must have been great to see", Rangiku called from the Captains side.

"Well they were in my room so it was their fault"

"OK well let's get on with today's work then please, Sorami is in my office waiting for you", Toushirou said.

Before Miyuki headed for the Captains office she picked Renji and Yuuji off the floor and headed down the corridor to the Captains office.

She walked through the door and put Renji and Yuuji on the sofa so they could regain consciousness properly and turned to face Sorami who was on the opposite sofa facing the main door of the Captains office.

"What's up Sorami, what are you doing here?" Miyuki asked as she sat down.

"I came here to find you on Renji's request", Sorami explained looking at Renji whose breathing was gradually becoming controlled and a bit of colour coming back in his cheeks.

"What the hell for?" Miyuki asked, nudging Renji for an answer.

"I came here to get you, I spoke to Ikkaku and he wanted to meet you, and maybe spar with you", Renji explained.

"What your joking right he will kill us if we spar with him", Miyuki shouted.

"Are you still shouting Miyuki?" came Toushirou's voice from the door way.

"S…sorry Captain", Miyuki stuttered

"Hello again Sorami now what are you shouting about Miyuki?"

"Hello Captain Hitsugaya", Sorami replied

"Renji is taking me Sorami and Yuuji over to 11th squad to spar with Ikkaku, and we will be killed", Miyuki explained.

"I don't think you will be killed, you three are perfectly good fighters, I think you should try it out and see where you can improve if you need to"

"What are you serious?"

"Well it is true Miyuki, to find out how strong you are and how far you can stretch your abilities its best to try it on someone who is more experienced", Rangiku explained

"And to answer your question Miyuki yes I am serious"

Over in 11th squad barracks Yuuji was the first opponent for Ikkaku, while Sorami, Miyuki, Renji and Yumichika sat along the side with the other squad members and watched.

Ikkaku was better than they had all expected. He was using a boken (training sword) and flash step as he attacked his opponent like it was a real fight.

"Wow he really does take sparing seriously", Miyuki whispered to the red head next to her.

"Of course he does Ikkaku loves to fight; some people in the seireitei are scared of him"

While Renji and Miyuki where having a conversation, they didn't notice that Ikkaku had finished his sparing with Yuuji and was awaiting his next opponent.

"How about you Miyuki?" Ikkaku boomed

"Go on", Renji nudged.

Rather than give Ikkaku an answer Miyuki picked up Kuroyuki, stood up and moved to stand in front of Ikkaku and took her fighting stance.

"You must be talented and skilled if you are going to fight me with your zanpakuto rather than a boken", Ikkaku said.

"Well I don't know what to say about that, but I spend most of my sparing times using my zanpakuto, I'm sorry if that is a problem for you"

"No problem at all. Well then I guess I will use my zanpakuto as well"

Ikkaku made his way to the side of the room laid down the boken and picked up a sword that had an oval crossguard with a blue sheath.

"This is my sword; Houzukimaru", Ikkaku declared as he walked to his spot in front of Miyuki and took his fighting stance.

On Yumichika's word the fight started. Ikkaku was the first to draw his sword and attack, before he could land a hit Miyuki blocked it with Kuroyuki and counter attacked.

'He's different from others I have fought in my squad. He is using his zanpakuto and the sheath together, now I understand what Rangiku meant about fighting someone who has more experience', Miyuki thought.

Miyuki blocked both of Ikkaku's attacks and counter attacked.

Ikkaku was fast, but Miyuki used shunpo and became as fast. This fight went on a lot longer than the fight he had with Yuuji. Ikkaku was not going to give up, and neither was Miyuki. In the end they both came out with a few scratches but no serious injuries.

Once there fight was over the 11th squad members that where watching chanted for more.

"Sorami I will fight you now, Miyuki you go rest OK"

Miyuki headed to sit back next to Renji while Sorami headed up to take her fighting stance.

"You did well Miyuki", Renji commented.

"Hmmm"

"What's wrong? You seem distracted", Renji asked

"Nothing really"

"Don't give me that, is obvious something is wrong, or you're worried about something"

"You and the Captain weren't exactly on speaking terms today where you"

"I don't know, it's like he doesn't want to even talk to me let alone be near me, it hurts ya know"

"You really like him don't you?"

"…."

As Miyuki gave no answer Renji decided not to push the conversation any further, then he finally realised that Ikkaku had finished his sparing with Sorami and Kenpachi had walked in the room.

"Hello Captain", chimed the squad members

"Hmm", Kenpachi replied.

After Miyuki, Sorami and Yuuji had met Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, Renji suggested they go out to a nice place to eat within the seireitei and so the night finished with Yumichika, Ikkaku, Sorami, Miyuki, Yuuji and Renji eating out in the seireitei and then going their separate ways.
