A/N: Sorry to those who thought that Yuki and Emiri disappeared in the last chapter... they merely just ran away to avoid the conversation. Clearing this up. This chapter introduces a rather interesting twist I was planning for a very long time. Enjoy!
Chapter 15: The Lieutenant of the 6th Division
Kyon walked to school… knowing that Haruhi was probably going to yell at him because of the day before.
"Kaikai!" yelled a voice.
Kyon turned to see it was (of course) Yachiru.
"Did you hear that they're sending more people." Said Yachiru.
"Yeah…" said Kyon.
"Can you do me a favor! Can you please gather everyone in the clubroom for lunch! I'd do it but I'm busy." Said Yachiru.
Kyon sighed at the pink haired Lieutenant.
"Fine…" he muttered.
"I already asked Lily to give everyone the details! Thanks Kaikai!" said Yachiru running to the school.
Kyon sighed… oh yes… this wasn't going to be easy.
Kyon got to class to see Haruhi was glaring at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Where were you yesterday?" asked Haruhi.
"Something came up." Said Kyon.
"Whatever…" muttered Haruhi.
"Something's came up and we need to gather everyone in the clubroom at lunch." Said Kyon.
"Good it will give me a chance to talk to you, Mikuru, Yuki and Emiri." Explained Haruhi.
"What did Nagato and Kimidori do?" asked Kyon.
"They ran off on me using super speed to avoid a conversation about your ware about." Said Haruhi.
"I see…" said Kyon with a sigh knowing he would have to thank those two later.
At lunch in the clubroom, all the members of the S.O.S. Brigade and three out of four members of the Back Up Brigade were there.
"Where's Yachiru?" asked Tsuruya.
"She's fighting the Evil Cookies Club… again." Said Yuri, "And since I'm her roommate, I have to do her work apparently."
"You two are roommates?" asked Itsuki surprised.
"Yes…" sighed Yuri, "Now as I was saying. 6 high ranking Soul Reapers haves come in order to see if we can handle the job."
"6 isn't that a lot?" asked Mikuru.
"It's a war…" said Yuri, "They might come here permanently if they feel like we can't handle it alone."
"So who's coming?" asked Haruhi.
"I wasn't given names but it's one Captain, 2 Lieutenants, 2 3rd Seats and 1 5th seat." Explained Yuri.
"No 4th seat?" asked Tsuruya confused.
"I have a theory on who that 5th seat is…" said Yuri, "He's really the 4th seat but he doesn't find the Kanji for 4 "Beautiful"."
"That doesn't make much sense." Said Mikuru.
"Well it's Yachiru's division…" said Yuri, "So… yeah…"
"They're planning to come to meet in us in the clubroom after class." Said Kyon.
"That's nice." Said Itsuki, "They won't interrupt class."
"Yeah… that's because my dad had to bend over backwards to make sure they didn't do that." Said Kyon messaging a headache.
"I remember hearing about that!" laughed Haruhi who then felt sad when she remembered how she was feeling that day.
"I don't think that was a good time for Haruhi." Said Yuri.
"All right!" yelled Haruhi, "This meeting is over for Itsuki, Yuri and Tsuruya."
"Good, I have to meet someone." Said Yuri leaving the room.
"Later guys!" said Tsuruya.
Itsuki just smiled as he left.
Haruhi turned to chew out Kyon and Mikuru for making her worry and Yuki and Emiri for running away.
After class… the two groups entered the room to wait for the Soul Reapers so everyone but Haruhi, Mikuru and Yuki played cards.
"So I didn't miss anything from the meeting?" asked Yachiru.
"You didn't do anything last night so no you didn't." answered Haruhi who was on the computer.
"Uh-huh…" said Yachiru.
"How long did she yell at you guys?" asked Tsuruya.
"10 minutes and 34 seconds." Answered Emiri.
"Gee… thanks for keeping count." Thought Kyon.
"Kaikai… thoughts are meant to stay in your head." Said Yachiru.
That was when the door opened. They turned to see four well men of various ages standing there: Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, 3rd Seat of the 11th Division Ikkaku Madarame, 5th Seat of the 11th Division Yumichika Ayasegawa, and newly promoted 3rd Seat of the 4th Division Hanataro Yamada.
It will be pointed out that only Hanataro was the only one who looked the right age, Ikkaku and Yumichika looked too old while Toshiro looked too young. Not mention that they were all wearing the school uniform.
Tsuruya began to laugh at them…
"You look ridiculous!" she laughed.
"So you must be Nelliel's daughter then." Said Toshiro.
They all took seats.
"Shouldn't there be two more?" asked Haruhi.
"Yeah… but…" said Toshiro, he looked at Haruhi, "One's giving the other a pep talk."
Kyon looked at Toshiro who gave a nod.
"So it is him… that why they didn't reveal who it was." Thought Kyon with a sigh.
"So what's been going on since you taken my duties Cue Ball?" asked Yachiru.
"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Ikkaku.
"Just ignore them… this will last for a while." Said Yumichika.
"Tea is ready." Said Mikuru.
Mikuru began to poor everyone tea.
Toshiro stared at Mikuru.
"What is it?" she asked.
"If I were to go on looks alone. I would have thought you were Orihime's reincarnation." Said Toshiro, he turned to Haruhi, "I heard that Grimmjow mistook her for you."
"Yeah." Said Haruhi smiling a little, happy that Toshiro was able to tell who she was.
"I hope I'm not giving Rangiku too much credit." Said Toshiro.
Everyone stared at Toshiro (except for Yachiru and Ikkaku who were bickering.)
"What des that mean?" asked Mikuru.
"It means that Hanataro needs to be up on his CPR." Said Yuri adjusting her glasses.
Downstairs the two lieutenants of the team were talking. To clear things up, one of them was indeed Rangiku, while the other ho was male was the Lieutenant of the 6th Division.
"You were sent here to help her." Said Rangiku, "You have to go up and see her."
"I still don't know… I know she has her memories… but she's an entirely different person.
"It doesn't matter! Just watch me. And then do your own thing when I'm done." Said Rangiku.
"Okay…" sighed the Lieutenant.
The two went up stairs and found the clubroom. Rangiku entered the room.
"Hi!" she said happily.
She then noticed Mikuru and gave her big a hug… a suffocating hug.
"I can't believe I get to meet you…" said Rangiku.
This not only stopped the bickering between Yachiru and Ikkaku but also caused all the males (expect for Itsuki and Yumichika) to blush bright red as they hugged, Tsuruya and Yachiru to laugh.
Oh and to clear things up in case someone want to I don't know… draw the picture… both of them are wearing the girl's uniform of North High.
Haruhi sighed… Toshiro was right… he did give her too much credit.
"Rangiku… I'm Orihime." Said Haruhi.
Rangiku looked at Haruhi and let go of Mikuru who not only began to catch her breath but also cry a little.
"I'm sorry… I really am!" said Rangiku.
"Rangiku… you're a Lieutenant. At least feel a person Reiryoku before you nearly hug them to death." Said Toshiro.
"Sorry…" laughed Rangiku sitting down.
"You okay Mikuru?" asked Kyon.
"I'm fine…" said Mikuru with a weak nod.
Yachiru had also managed to catch her breath after laughing so hard.
"Hey Lily…" whispered Yachiru, "Did you notice Itsy didn't blush?"
"That proves nothing." whispered Yuri.
"Come it's obvious." Whispered Yachiru.
"Sorry… I need more proof." Whispered Yuri.
The two had a bet involving whether or not Itsuki was gay or not… Just getting that out of the way.
"You were right that make me feel better about introducing myself." Said the Lieutenant of the 6th Division.
Haruhi looked at him… she blinked she couldn't believe her eyes. The part of her that was Orihime took over, she ran towards him, hugged him and began to cry.
"I can't believe it… It's… it's really you." Cried Haruhi.
The Lieutenant began to stroke her hair, "I wasn't sure how you would react…"
To say the least, Mikuru, Itsuki and Tsuruya were confused.
"So where they close in Winter War?" asked Itsuki.
"No… it's not like that at all." Said Rangiku shaking her head.
"He didn't' become a Soul Reaper until after the War." Said Toshiro.
"Meet Sora Inoue… the older brother of Orihime…" explained Kyon.
The room became silent. Expect for Haruhi gentle sobs… for it was true, Sora was the Lieutenant of the 6th Division.
Meanwhile in Hueco Mundo at Aizen's HQ…
"I have gained word that Soul Society has sent Soul Reapers to North High." Said an Arrancar.
"I see…" said Aizen.
"That's not good." Said Asakura.
"This might be a good thing…" said Aizen, "I have a theory on why they're even there…"
"I see…" said Asakura with a nod.
And so with a tearful reunion a plan was forged for Aizen's Arrancar Army.
Next Time: A small army of Arrancar attack North High. The S.O.S. Brigade, the Back Up Brigade and the Soul Reaper Team must all fight to protect the school. What will happen? Find out next time!
