"And so, I reccomend Medusa Hikari as the captain of the 5th squad," Hinamori finished, slightly nervous at saying this in front of all the captains but even more nervous at saying this in front of Hitsugaya, who could tell when she was lying. Hinamori crossed her fingers and hoped that her bad lying skills wouldn't show.

The captains gazed at her with narrowed eyes and then turned to have a discussion. From the tense aura, Hinamori could see that they were having a rather heated discussion in hushed tones. Finally, after a long time, the captains all nodded.

Medusa gave them a dazzling smile and then grabbed Hinamori's hand. "That's good! Isn't it, Hina-chan?"

Hinamori opened her mouth to object at her nickname but closed it abruptly as she remembered that Medusa was supposed to be her cousin. She gave Medusa a weak smile and was returned with another.

"Let's go, Hina-chan!" Medusa chirped, dragging Hinamori out of the room and to the office. "You do the paperwork." Medusa shoved a tower of papers toward Hinamori.

Groaning, Hinamori got out her pen and started signing papers. When she got to the trainee papers she let out a sigh and began shuffling through for the shortest ones. A giggle was heard, and Hinamori's head jerked up.

There stood Medusa, batantly batting her eyelashes at a subordinate. Hinamori's jaw dropped. She looked away quickly and kept on doing her paperwork. What was she going to do?

The paperwork before her looked as if it would swallow her whole, and suddenly Hinamori knew why Matsumoto ran away from Hitsugaya when he had a lot of paperwork. Paperwork makes me stressed, Hinamori thought, brushing a stray piece of hair away and stepping out of the office for a breath of fresh air.

Sunsun128: Sorry if it's short. I'm really hooked on my new story, Icy Peaches. Check it out. It is soooooo cool. (at least to me)

Medusa: Wahhhhhhhhhh!!! How can it be cool if I'm not in it????????

Sunsun128: I might make you a very very very minor character.

Medusa: -blink-

Hinamori: It's mostly about Tobiume and Hyōrinmaru and me and Hitsugaya-kun! I wish Tobiume would talk to me. Mostly she sleeps now...I think...
