AN: Sooo my little readers here is your chapter two! Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Gin kneeled at the little desk in his quarters back at the squad three barracks. He was writing down some report that needed to be handed in to a squad one representative by tomorrow morning. He yawned and stretched out his long and lanky arms because they were becoming stiff.
"Taichou…is the report ready?" Kira asked popping his head through the door.
"Nope!" Gin replied smiling at Kira.
He blushed a deep shade of red "O-Okay…" he mumbled before scurrying away.
Gin laughed to himself at the poor mans awkwardness. Kira was an alright person, but he was too jumpy and easily scared by the slightest things.
"Gin?" someone called while standing outside."
"Ne?" hey asked in confusion.
Tousen walked in clad in his old 9th squad captains uniform and his ever present orange scarf tied protectively around his neck. But something was missing.
"Why ya look so different den b'fore?"
Tousen smiled , a rarity that very few get to see. "The holowfication doesn't work, but because of it I can see." he explained.
"Good fer ya buddy glad tah hear it!" Gin exclaimed patting the man on the back.
Tousen coughed and looked at Gin "Thanks."
"Wan sum tea?"
"No, I need to get backk to squad nine and inform them that I am back." he said simply.
Gin frowned "Awww! Come by later, ne!"
"Mmm…" was Tousen's response as he trudged out into the early spring air.
Gin turned back to his work, so he could then give it to Kira in the morning.
"T-Taichou?" Shuhei asked bewildered. He never expected to see his old captain again, and especially without his signature sunglasses that seemed glued to his face.
"Hisagi, I see you havent been informed of the current events. I'm back as your taichou." he explained.
"B-But you c-can see?" he stammered looking at him intensely.
"Ahh, the hollowfication left me my sight so I left the glasses."
"Mmm…Well I guess we need to inform the others."
"They already know I spoke with them already."
"So, I was the only one not informed of this then." Shuhei voiced turning scarlet with fury.
"Yes I figure so." Tousen said simply.
"Well, welcome back taichou! We…I missed you." he confessed looking at the floor.
Tousen smiled one of those rare smiles "I missed being your taichou as well." he mused and then proceeded out into the courtyard. "I have a meeting, can you organize patrol squads for today?"
"Sure thing!" he beamed and scurried away to the barracks.
Tousen turned on his heel and headed toward the 1st squad's meeting room.
Genryusai Yamamoto stood at the head of the assembled court guards assessing the various captains. All spots were filled except for the 5th division captain who was currently buried underneath soul society.
"Today I have called this meeting for three reasons" he began "I want to first welcome back Ichimaru Gin and Tousen Kaname back into their old spots."
Soifon snorted, her brow becoming more furrowed at the mention of their names.
"Now for reports." he clarified.
"Squad two has nothing to report." Soifon added.
"Nuthin frum us capin!" Gin voiced gleefully.
The meeting went on in this fashion until it reached the 12th squad captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri. "The research bureau has been looking at the Holyoke which has become inactive ever since the capture of Aizen Souske. It shows a small level of reiatsu emanating from its core, we are currently investigating its source of power as well as its abilities." he cackled cracking his knuckles as he spoke.
"Very well, if there is nothing else to report, DISMISSED." Yamamoto bellowed while disappearing behind a wall.
Soifon stood there rooted to the spot waiting until the others left. "T-Taichou? You called?" A man named Kensai Katagiri answered walking up to the petite captain. He was the head of the enforcement squad and wore, in addition to the black suit, a white belt.
"I need you to do some background research on Ichimaru Gin, I need to know his whereabouts, what he does in his spare time. If he so much as sneezes…you tell me." She commanded.
"Yes taichou!" he replied bowing deeply before he departed.
Soifon promptly walked in the other direction satisfied with herself. If only Yourichi had saw her then taking command of her problems…
"TAICHOU, LEVEL 9 HOLLOW IN THE VICINITY!" some woman called from below.
Gin rolled over on his tatami mat and slowly woke himself up. He held his throbbing head in his slender hands and sat like that for a while until the incessant shouting commenced. "Den, kill em'." he answered simply allowing his head to hit the soft pillow.
"Taichou, we need your help get up!" Kira ordered staring at him fiercely.
Gin sighed again "Only if ya say so boss!"
Kira rolled his eyes and left the room to give out orders to the frightened squad three. He really did hate doing this now that the captain was back.
Gin stood up and dressed in his white captains uniform with the number three etched in the back. He turned to leave but a force flew him back knocking over the small table in the room. He landed with a thud and rubbed his now banging skull. "Ne, who's dere?" he inquired. Suddenly the room conformed and he was inside a jet black room with all black furnishings. The only spot of color was the white marble throne where sat a man in all black.
"Gin, I see you're adapting to your new life very pleasantly!" the man said.
"A-Aizen"
The man smiled smugly "No, I am a mere apparition sent from Aizen to ensure you got his message. I have a small favor to ask of you."
Gin said nothing, he only looked on fearfully but showing no hint of emotion on his face.
"See, you and Tousen will work under me and…"
"No…I won't be your pawn anymore Aizen. I've moved on and so have you, to prison." Gin interrupted losing his loose and carefree way of talking to take on a more serious tone.
"Hmph…You'll come around…Eventually." he finished.
The room came swirling into view and he saw Kira standing over him.
"TAICHOU!" he was screaming.
"Ya? Wat ya shoutin' fo? He said. Gin decided to forget what had just happened and deemed it "a mere hallucination because of the headache" and not for what it really was.
"Well then COME ON!"
"Alrighty!"
What ever just happened, he wouldn't stress out about it now, especially since it was just a dream…
