It's been three months since the Spellcaster incident and Soul Society had completely rebuilt. When Rin went to see the Captain Commander, she was subject to three months of service to Soul Society to the 12th Squad to atone for the other Spellcasters' crimes. It turns out that Yoko Mizushima, the 4th Squad Captain was able to save Takara Yamane, Takara's Zanpakuto in its Shikai form grants her the ability of 'faking her death', when Yoko had brought her to the 4th Squad barracks she awakened from this state but was in a very critical condition.

As for Kiyomi and Mitsuaki, Kiyomi went to Rukongai to protect its citizens from rebels. Mitsuaki's funeral was cancelled and he retained his rank as the 8th Squad Lieutenant; I took what Ko said about me being as strong as a lieutenant and Captain Hinata evaluated me once more and agreed on me becoming the lieutenant of the 10th Squad. Dante was promoted to 3rd Seat of the 9th Division and barely came to Soul Society anymore because of school, as for me I barely returned to the Real World, I told my mother that I was attending a college on the other end of Japan so I was staying with a friend.

"Why have you called this meeting, Captain Tsudasa?" the Captain-Commander, Shinsuke Takasugi asked as Keiko Tsudasa walked into the Meeting Room in the 1st Squad Barracks, "I have called this Captain-Lieutenant meeting because I wish to introduce my new lieutenant to you all" Keiko waved her hand at the large door, "Meet, Rin Kagami" Keiko introduced as Rin walked in the room wearing a Lieutenant's badge strapped to her left arm, "Rin…?" I said to myself.

"That girl is illegible to become a Lieutenant Captain Tsudasa" Yoko began, "She is a Spellcaster and not a Shinigami" she finished.

"Ah! But I'm fully aware of that Captain Mizushima!" Keiko waltzed over to Rin, "Over these three months that she has been in dept to my Squad Division I was amazed at her intellect, she has solved some problems that nobody else in my Division could, she has made adjustments to my inventions which have improved them" Keiko began, "I wanted her to become my Lieutenant but she wasn't a Shinigami so I altered her genetics" Keiko finished.

"You did what!?" I shouted out from beside my Captain, Captain Hinata which caused everyone's eyes to turn to me, "M-My apologies…" I stepped back. "I operated on her body and altered her Spellcaster genes by fusing them with a Shinigami's genes, by adding more Shinigami cells than there are Spellcaster cells in her body, the Shinigami cells would overpower the Spellcaster cells thus giving her Shinigami powers" Keiko marveled as she grinned from ear to ear. "I would like proof that she is a Shinigami" Tsubasa Nakahara spoke out, "Can she perform Shikai?" he asked.

"Show them" Keiko looked at Rin.

"Burn with the flame of hope, Tsuki to taiyō" Rin said but nothing happened.

"Well?" Tsubasa looked on.

"Her Spellcaster powers were interesting… In the daylight she could perform fire movies or offense attacks if you like but in the night, she can only perform supportive or defensive spells. Since I fused Shinigami cells with her Spellcaster cells, her Shinigami cells are already aware that she is fully capable of protecting herself in the daylight without a Zanpakuto so she isn't given one, in the night however, that's when she her Shinigami cells give her Zanpakuto because she isn't in 'offense'" Keiko explained.

"I see…" Tsubasa Nakahara replied as he went back in line.

"What will you do now Captain-Commander?" Misaki Kajiwara, the Lieutenant-Commander asked.

"I approve your request" the Captain-Commander said calmly.

"Captain, would you also like to speak about the vacancies in our Captain and Lieutenant spots? The 5th Squad and the 9th Squad are in need of a Captain as well as 9th Squad Lieutenant position?" Misaki reminded the Captain-Commander.

"Nah… Not yet Misaki" he replied, "Meeting adjourned" the Captain-Commander finished.

Six more months had passed and everyone was training as if they've just learned their Zanpakuto's name, including myself; I haven't seen Ezael since the Spellcaster incident nine months ago… Until today.
"Hiya Nayoka!" I found Ezael in my room as I opened the door.

"Ezael? What are you doing here?" I looked at him.

"I thought I'd pay my friend a visit, congratulations on Lieutenant" he smiled and clapped for me.

"Oh thanks" I blushed.

"Have you heard of Bankai by the way?" Ezael asked.

"A bit…" I responded.

"Well a Bankai is the evolved from of Shikai and its power is around ten times that of a Shikai so as a present for getting Lieutenant I'm gonna teach you Bankai, follow me" Ezael Shunpo'd out of the room, "What's with him?" I asked myself as I followed his trail.

"Why did we come way out here?" I asked as he led me into a forest.

"Well a Bankai is dangerous so it's best to go to a place where you can't hurt anybody" Ezael turned around, "Why do you want me to learn Bankai all of a sudden anyway?" I asked.

"Well it's just for safety precautions in case anyone attacks Soul Society, you'll be more than able to fend them off and maybe get the title of a Captain while you're at it" he smiled.

"No offence or anything but why do I have to learn with you? Why not Captain Hinata?" I asked.

"It has to be me because our Zanpakutos have something in common that will make it easier for me to teach you Bankai" he explained.

"Something in common…? What's that?" I asked.

"Your Zanpakuto is a water element Zanpakuto right?" he asked as I nodded my head, "So is mine" he smiled, "Wind of the oceans hear me, Bashoukajiki!" he exclaimed.
