I am going to take a moment to lay out the Hierarchy Ranking Systems as I see them in the Gotei 13. If you think of The Captain-Commander of the 1rst Division as being a five-star General that would place all the Captains would be the equivalent of a Major General. and Lieutenants Are the Executive Officers.

In my story that would place Ichigo Kurosaki-Shiba at being a Four-Star General given the specialized unit he commands.

I introduced the concept of (Time Dilation) in a chapter named Hide And Seek. Basically, for every year that passes in The Seiretei 2 years pass in the real world.

It was a special day in Seireitei and the Gotei 13 yes it was a Captains meeting however it was also the day when Promotions were given out and Yoruichi Shiba still didn't understand why she was present she wasn't supposed to graduate from the Academy for another year.

Shunsui Kyōraku started off saying, "This will be my last act as Head Captain!"

Mumbles and gasps were heard going through the hall as Shunsui calmed them down.

"Ayano Momoka Step forward" Shunsui stated as Nanao Ise walked forward holding a while captain's coat.

"Please try it on!" Shunsui stated softly, ever the gentlemen he held it for her to try on.

"Yoruichi Shiba Step forward!" Shunsui stated, "As a last request of the Captain Suì-Fēng-Shiba who is leaving the 2nd division to join the 22nd division you are appointed Lieutenant of the 2nd division."

"Suì-Fēng-Shiba and Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba" Shunsui stated "Please step forward.

Yoruichi could understand why Suì-Fēng was being singled out but why her.

"Suì-Fēng please accept this New Captain's Hoari with The Divisions symbol!"

This time it was Ichigo who stepped into view saying, "It's time I correct a long overdue error"

With a wink and using her new title Ichigo said, "Captain Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba please step forward"

Did he just say… Captain, Yoruichi thought? As Ichigo slipped on the coat

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to celebrate as Karin Kurosaki- Hitsugaya chose that moment to go into labor.

Even though to the outside world Tōshirō Hitsugaya inner world started to fall apart like most first time fathers. Fortunately for him The 22nd Division although there to see one of their own make Captain they didn't loose sight of the mission. In the middle of presenting his wife with her new Hoari he gave one of his warrant officers "The nod" and he and his executive officer discreetly made their way to Karin.

"We will look after Lady Hitsugaya, follow when you can!"

Whispering in Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya's ear The Warrant Officer saw to his charge and the 6-man team was gone.

Very impressive, Captain Byakuya Kuchiki thought as he watched events unfold

The newly appointed Captains didn't miss a beat as with nothing but a glance Yoruichi Shihōin told one of the teams, "Get her to squad 4!"

The look on Ichigo's face said, "I remember… go be with your student!"

Suì-Fēng was gone in a flash with one destination in mind, "The Royal Palace!"

Joel Goldsmith watches the events unfold thinking, They must know her troops well… all I could see was the slightest nod and a momentary glance and two 6-man teams discreetly went into motion!

Of course, what no one say was the single messenger that was sent to collect Kūkaku Shiba, and her brother.

At the same moment, the squad 4 Captain and Lieutenant set off for the 4th, all while the promotion ceremony kept going.

One hour later after the ceremony was over Byakuya Kuchiki approached Ichigo saying, "That's quite the team you've put together Ichigo!"

"Indeed, it is!" Joel Goldsmith said walking over, "Our Discussion the other day did give me some insight into what they can do but seeing them in action!"

"Simply put Captains" Ichigo said, "We weed out glory hounds and hero wannabe's!"

"I See" Byakuya said raising his brow speculatively looking at Ichigo

It all goes back to The Division" Motto, Ichigo said causing both men to look at him as he said, "My first responsibility is to complete my Mission, My second is to protect my team, If I cannot do both, I will complete my Mission."

"We make that credo a way of life!" Captain Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba stated walking in on the conversation.

"I am curious!" Byakuya said, "You don't recruit from the academy!"

"No, we don't" Ichigo said, "We hold tryouts twice a year!"

That caused a raised eyebrow from Byakuya when Ichigo said, "The first requirement is you have to have served in as a Shimigami in one of the other Divisions for Six Years and completed a certain number of Missions!"

"Forgive me Head Captain" Yoruichi Shiba said, Holding out her Lieutenants badge asking, "Would you do the honors!"

The normally stoic Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba was a mess on the inside as she though, You want me to pin you.

"Truth is I wanted you to present them to me, but dad said you would be making Captain so"

"Head Captain, Captain Kuchiki" Ichigo said our tryouts are not usually open to the public but should you wish to observe I would not object!"

30 minutes later A man in his 30s with dark hair and light features approached the group, saying, "You will make quite the Lieutenant Young Shiba"

Looking at him as if she should know the man Yoruichi Shiba said, "Thank you!"

"I don't blame you for not knowing me, the last time I saw you, you were minutes old" The man said, "You may call me Marcus"

"Gr-Grandfather!" Yoruichi Shiba said hugging him.

As Yoruichi released the hug Byakuya was about to follow protocol when, Marcus held up a hand saying, "This is an informal visit I am here to visit with my granddaughter Karin and her daughter!"

Captain Suì-Fēng-Shiba walked up to the group with a handsome 15-year old teen by her side looking to the teen Suì-Fēng said, "Marcus!" Gesturing to the Soul King she said, "Meet your namesake and grandfather!"

A somewhat frazzled teenaged boy that Ichigo could not deny even if he wanted to, walked up to them muttering, "Why does Kido have to be so hard!"

"How so!" Joel Goldsmith asked

"They want be to speak it but that's not how I leaned it!"

"Went right to wordless did you!" Joel asks smiling at the boy!

"Kazui" Yoruichi said, "Meet Joel Goldsmith the man who created The Kido Corpse!"

As Mother and daughter walked out Yoruichi Shiba pointed to her mother's Haori asking, "How do I get one of those!"

"All in good time Little one!" Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba said, "All in good time!"

"But I'm not much older than you" Yoruichi Shiba protested only to have her mother whisper her true age in her daughters' ear.

(I'll be 200 next Year!)

Yoruichi Shiba's back stiffened as she slowly turned to look at her mother wide eyed, her mouth slowly opened and then closed again.

Later that day Yoruichi & Masaki Shiba walk in on Their mother and Kūkaku Shiba catching up when Kūkaku asked, "Why the long faces!"

Yoruichi Shiba looked up saying, "We heard dad and Grandpa talking about us being of age and…"

Holding up a set of hand quotes Kūkaku said, "And you heard you Grandpa say Arranged Marriage!"

Masaki silently nodded as the elder Yoruichi said, "Girls your fathers not like that, besides, he knows!" Holding up her hand to make a point the girls look at it and notice sparks coming off her fingertips as she said, "An Angry Yoruichi is never a good thing!"

"When your mother is done with Ichigo then it's my turn!" Kūkaku said earnestly

Looking at their mother in awe the girls nod as Yoruichi, Said, "You didn't think I showed you everything I know… did you?"

"Note to self!" Masaki said in a whisper in only half sarcastically, "Never Piss Off Mom!"

Winking at Masaki the elder Yoruichi, "Good Advice!"

"Girls I guided your Aunts though this process, I will do the same for you!" the elder Yoruichi said softly.

"Your wrong old friend!" Kūkaku said grinning, "We will!"

From the door Ichigo said, "I didn't find out until the day before my 28th birthday, that and I had it bad!"

"Your mother had become a part of me!" Ichigo said only to have Yoruichi say, "Your father had become a part of me too!"

The next morning at the barracks of the 22nd divesion both Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng sit in conference with Ichigo himself.

"Suì-Fēng now that your official part of the 22nd I can tell you our division is only 750 strong and that is by design!"

"That's only half the 2nd Divisions, standing force including the old Kido Corps!" Suì-Fēng said, looking at him.

"Smaller yes, but better, each member of our division is equal to 3 standing Shinigami in any other division."

"I knew they were well trained but!" Suì-Fēng stated looking at her new commander.

From the doorway Shiba Yasuuja said, "Think back to the first time you saw me, what was it you said, "I fought like a man possessed!"

"When others cut and run, we stay and fight!" Shiba Yasuuja said confidently.

"Suì-Fēng starting tomorrow you join us in morning workouts and 375 of them are yours!" Ichigo said!

"Yes" Ichigo said, "You get to choose your own Lieutenant!"

"For obvious reasons you can't choose Yasuuja!" Ichigo said.

"You have a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, they can't lose the both of you!" Yoruichi said shaking her head.

Our Mandate is as follows:

Counter-terrorism, basically to put a stop to any invasion or insurgency, Hostage Rescue, Direct Action, we act independently of Captain Commander when Necessary, in small units you saw an example of that at the promotions ceremony yesterday when 2 of my teams got my sister to the 4th Division before it became a problem"

"If we do it the right way no one knows we were there!"

"So basically Were a specialized unit that deals with varied threats" Suì-Fēng said offhandedly

"Here is where we differ from the 2nd and any other division, before we even consider you, you have to be in service to one of the other divisions for 6 years."

"Every six-man team has the following, "A team leader and a second in command, One member of The Kido Corps, One Member of The Medical Corps, and Three other standard Shinigami"

"Each Member is Cross Trained in the others chosen Discipline!"

Joel Goldsmith walked in the office just as the meeting was wrapping up saying, "Captains I didn't mean to ease drop but this Direct Action would in include Staging Mock Invasions"

"Nothing to serous, however our conversation the other night got me to thinking!" Joel said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Ladies we have an invasion to plan!"

"Oh, this is going to be fun!" Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng said in unison.

"I have a mission for you two" Ichigo said posting notices throughout the barracks

ALL LEAVE IS CANCELED

"Go to the armory and get smoke bombs and place them at strategic points, set the timers for sunrise!" Ichigo said posting the last notice, "Let's call them an alarm clock!"

"The new Captain of Squad 2 Might figure it out!" Suì-Fēng said chuckling.

"And Ladies is you see a shadow!" Ichigo said only to have his wife say, "Become the shadow!"

The look on her face said, (who do you think taught you that!)

"Yoruichi" Suì-Fēng said, "I want to make Masaki my Lieutenant!"

"You do know in Gotei 13 the only one higher in rank then Ichigo is Head Captain right!"

Then he… Suì-Fēng thought.

"My little bee what am I going to do with you, Mi Ichigo doesn't believe in using power and position to get what he needs and wants… besides we would have to be at war for that to take affect!" Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba said offhandedly.

"The reason Ichigo had mine and his daughter's promotion done through the Head Captain is so my daughter would not feel like she is handed anything!"

"I understand" Suì-Fēng said letting a Jigokuchō fly as she and Yoruichi Shihōin took off in opposite directions.

In his office a Jigokuchō lands on Ichigo's finger from Suì-Fēng.

"I want Masaki my Lieutenant!"

2 hours later both Suì-Fēng and Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba returned to the barracks Just as Ichigo made it known throughout the barracks, "Mission Briefing in 5, no exceptions, and just in case you haven't read the notices "All Leave Is Canceled… As Of Right Now Barracks Are On Lockdown!"

"NO COMMUNICATIONS IN OR OUT!"

"Commander!" one of the Warrant Officers said, "What's going on!"

"Wargames!" Ichigo said, "We are the invading forces!"

With a mischievous grin Suì-Fēng said, "The Gotei 13 is not to be taken lightly, my old division could match this one in some regards!"

The Warrant Officer was about to speak up and correct the captain when Ichigo said, "Your new here so I will explain this Technically This Division Doesn't Exist Central 46 did not and does not officially acknowledge it existence!"

"Our official uniform have no marking of rank or unit for a reason!"

Closing the distance to Ichigo Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba, said, "The easiest way to create chaos is to take out the leadership, but if you don't know who the leaders are!"
