HAPPY SAINT PATRICKS DAY YESTERDAY EVERYONE! It's a St. Patrick's Day special chapter, which I couldn't update because I couldn't finish this chapter by yesterday. Ohhh the agony! Omg positive powers here. I wanna give a cookie to the people who reviewed, Bloody-ribbon and Hana Ryuuzaki. Haha that is soo cool hana, you have the same first name as an OC from my story, happy birthday. Check it out; I thought it was good, at least. Well back to the story. (By the way, Etsuka's last name is revealed in the chapter).


Getting up from the dust that settled around her feet, she immediately jumped and ran away from the group. Looking around, everyone looked puzzled until a hell butterfly appeared and chased down Etsuka. She started running away from it, until Zaraki tripped her, complaining that her screaming, "made his ears bleed". Falling flat on her face, the butterfly landed on her nose, delivering its message:

Etsuka Wu, please report to the first division office for a meeting with the soul society captains. THIS MEANS YOU TOO KENPACHI!

Kenpachi who was trying to get out of earshot creeping quietly outside, groaned at the thought of a meeting. Just what the berserker of soul-society wanted to do. Meetings. "What joy…" he muttered sarcastically.

She thought that the butterfly was really pretty when you looked at it closely, denying that she was ever scared of it.

"Your clothes are singed and torn tye-dye" Yachiru pointed out. It was true, she was covered with soot. Not noticing before, she and Yachiru left to go to eleventh office, leaving Ikkaku and Kenpachi with a passed out Yumichika.

"Shouldn't we take Yumichika to the fourth squad office for healing?" Ikkaku questioned.

Kenpachi stared at baldy for a second and then at peacock brow. Looking back to baldy, he replied, "We could do that. Or we could spar. Either way, its your choice."

Smiling Ikkaku drew a breath before saying, "Extend, Hōzukimaru"


In the shadows, the twelfth division taicho, having collected his data, left his hiding spot from the wall and eagerly ran back to his lab. He saw the whole thing.


At the eleventh squad office, Yachiru waited patiently for Etsuka to be done. When she got out of her room, he robes were a bright green. Matching shoes with the robe, she looked like a tall tree with her red hair gleaming in the sunlight. Spinning around, she heard Yachiru silently laughing from the corner.

"Whats so funny Yachiru-san?"

Stopping in-between breaths, she asked why she was wearing green. Etsuka calmly replied that she felt like it. Suddenly Yachiru felt a slight tremor; while she felt disturbed by the slight increase in spirit pressure, she noticed that Etsuka was clutching her head again. But when she stared walking towards her, it stopped as fast as it came, and Etsuka sat up again.

"Weird," Etsuka said, "Another flash from my memories, although it wasn't anything important though. I know why I felt like wearing green now though, its because today is Saint Patrick's Day."

Wondering what that was, Etsuka explained to Yachiru about St. Pat's. Yachiru squealed and ran into the nearest bathroom. Five minutes later, she runs backs outside with her hair dyed green instead of pink. Etsuka almost burst out with laughter, but held it in, mainly for respect.

"Hey, if it's a holiday, then I guess I could do this for one day."

They laughed about it, joking along the way, with onlooker staring, while they made their way to first division headquarters.

"A meeting with the captains huh? That should be fun..." How wrong was she...


Entering the office, they saw that it changed to the office setting. Twelve captains were sitting at a circular table, eyeing the newcomer with great interest. She was about to rush over to talk with Gin, but her captain choose this opportune time to burst through the door behind her. His robe ripped, but a smile on his face, he calmly walked to his seat.

"Now that our newest student and her taicho are here, late I might add," here he chose to glare at Zaraki who dismissed it with a wave of his hand. He continued as if nothing happened, "we can start our meeting. It's all about how we determine your status here. For starters, you don't know shun-po, kido, hand-to-hand combat, or apparently have a zanpakutou. This will have to be examined by the central 46 chambers."

Soi-fon choose this moment to interrupt. "I say we just have her stay here and not even be a seated member. Until she learns to use a zanpakutou, she's a hindrance to us all". Etsuka stuck her tongue out at her, which Gin laughed at.

"What's your opinion on the subject Ichimaru-taicho"

Gin frowned on the commanding officer. He didn't know how to take a joke. Calmly replying back, he said that he didn't have any problems with it. "I believe that she would make a fine edition to the court."

Unohana replied that she would welcome anyone trying to be part of the Seireitei with open arms. Smiling her motherly smile, she politely shook hands with her.

Aizen didn't say anything and for some reason, Etsuka didn't want him to. He made her skin crawl. Something about his eyes, how they were so deep that you could get lost if he stared at you for too long.

Byakuya smirked at her. He whispered to Yamamoto about something. Looking grim, it apparently appeared as though he didn't want her here. Coldly, he didn't talk that much. "She has the scent of burns about her" he said, pinching his nose. She decided not to use a specific finger that she learned from her memories with the wolf.

Komamura didn't talk that much either, but he had a warm caring personality around him. At least he didn't give her a cold stare, she thought. But she couldn't really tell, seeing as how he had a helmet atop his head. At least she hoped that he was nice.

Kyoraku was perhaps the strangest meeting ever. He tried to act all nice and compliment her color from her robes. Whenever he started up the conversation again, he inched closer to her. Soon she hit the wall and couldn't move back anymore. Thankfully Yachiru saved her by smacking the eight taicho over the head with a frying pan.

"Owwwie where did you get a frying pan" he asked.

"That's my secret for you to find out" she said chuckling wickedly.

Clutching his sore head, Etsuka ignored him and proceeded to shake hands with the ninth captain. She didn't realize that he was blind however until he went to the tenth captain. Assuming that he would move, she bumped into Tousen. Saying her apologies again and again, he said it was nothing to worry about.

"You're really young for a captain, does that mean that you're a really good fighter?" Hitsugaya's cheeks turned red. From thinking that he was a good fighter, or that he was mad for her thinking that he was so young. Either way, he said thank you and introduced himself.

No introductions from Kenpachi were necessary.

Etsuka went to shake Mayuri's hands, but after that, she felt a chill in her spine. Backing away slightly, she didn't want to be rude. However she felt like the captain was staring a little too intently. However, before he could say anything, the 13th squad captain who saved her from Mayuri interrupted him. Looking a little distressed, he slunk back to his lab. Introducing him, she starts up a conversation with him, while apparently the meeting is over.

Ukitake excused himself, his coughing too much for him. Walking over to his office for more of his medicine, Etsuka left him. She noticed that Gin was talking to Aizen with low whispers. Walking closer, she could just make out some of what they were saying:

Enough! We need to start soon…

But Yamamoto suspects something…

Just as long as the central…

Gin turned around and noticed Etsuka was standing by, don't wory, we'll talk later Aizen-sama. Excusing himself, he smiled brilliantly and led Etsuka outside.

"Isn't the sky nice today Etsuka?"

Surprised that he made the first move, she smiled and nodded her head. Relaxing and talking normally they walked in a random direction. Not knowing where to go, they just randomly headed off somewhere.

"Why are you wearing green today? I just saw you were wearing the traditional clothes before?"

"Maybe its because I don't wanna be traditional" sticking her tongue out at him.

"You seem to do that a lot," said Gin smiling.

She put her tongue back in her mouth. "It's a habit I guess. Anyway, the reason why is it's Saint Patrick's day." She spent the next minute or two explaining to him, because obviously he wouldn't know. He thought about that for a while, before being brought back to earth by a pinch.

"Heyyyyy!" he exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that. If you don't wear green today, you get pinched." She explained.

"Ahhh yet another ulterior motive for your fashion sense today I see."

She smiled devilishly. Running around trying to pinch Gin again they ran into, Shunsui, Shuihei, Matsumoto, and Izuru. Apparently they were drunk, as it seems.

"Good day." Etsuka politely said. "I don't think we've met. I'm Etsuka, the new fourth seat of eleventh squad."

They introduced themselves; Shunsui trying to get next to her again, but Gin pushed him off, complaining for once to start acting like a civilized person.

"Ohhh I'm soo sorry Gin, I didn't think you had feelings for the newbie here" slurring his words, and smiling gleefully.

Gin turned a tad shade of pink, and tried to change the subject by asking what the four of them were doing.

"Isn't it obvious Gin-taicho? They're celebrating St. Patrick's day!"

"Wha's that?" Matsumoto asked. She was having trouble forming actual words.

So once again, she explained the importance of the holiday.

"Oh. No, we weren't celebrating, this is what we normally do." Izuru explained.

"It seems like I haven't been giving you enough paper-work is that it, Izuru?"

Backing away hastily, he started to turn and run away, stumbling and hitting Hanataro making him drop his medicine wares. Gin sighed he didn't want to bother.

Meanwhile, Etsuka started talking with Shuihei. "Really? An entire holiday devoted to drinking? Fascinating." He exclaimed. She started laughing at what he said, but was pulled away by Gin. Growing slightly crimson, he asked if she wanted to go get ramen with him. She nodded, but before she could take a step, Yachiru appeared out of nowhere and dragged her off in her own direction.

"C'mon I want you to meet the women's association. I'm the president!" she exclaimed excitedly.


Awww poor Gin. Yes, he is kinda OOC but who really cares anyhow? Certainly not you, I hope. Oh well, Gin is hard to write about; maybe I should make him more mean. What do you think? C'mon! You know you wanna review. Just click that little button there hehh. Well until next chapter: Meeting with the women.
