A/N: So time skips from 14- 18 and well... just read okay?

Review response!

To: The Flying Lion, Rukia is my favourite female character too! :D & I know right? I ALWAYS get these random ideas during the night. When I do, I'd whip out my blackberry and just do a rough writing draft then in the morning I would type it out.

To: SkittlesKenevel: Thank you! I am trying my best (:

To: AliceHoung, Yeah I totally realized that Ashido is supposed to be 18 and not 16 in the story when he's a soldier, so now it makes more sense. Thanks for pointing another major error... again. (:

Thanks to The Flying Lion for reviewing every single chapter so far! :D

Chapter 4: Commander meets strawberry

"NO NO NO NO NO!" I yelled in frustration.

One of the soldiers failed to do the simplest obstacle course properly and kept on falling; this is frustrating.

"This has been happening 12 times soldier!" I yelled louder. "Keep doing it!"

The man grabbed the rope and started to climb onto the wooden wall, the one part he ALWAYS kept falling on. The other soldier soldiers laughed and teased him for his failing attempts.

About halfway up the wall, the soldier's hand slipped off the rope and screamed as he fell onto the mud, letting out an "ooofff." and a groan in pain.

"Oh my god..." I said quietly to myself, slapping my hands on my face from the frustration.

This soldier is a total idiot!

"Okay! Take a break!" I said blowing my whistle that was hanging off my neck.

I turned my back around to not look at the soldiers and sighed harshly.

"Uhh... Miss. Kuchiki..." The soldier called from behind.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" I turned around as I yelled at him.

The soldier backed away slowly with his hands in the air and just mumbled "never mind" and quickly ran away from me.

The line of 60 soldiers scattered all around the marching camp, talking and laughing along.

Suddenly a hand grasp my shoulder weakly as I turned my head back to look.

"Tough?" Ashido said with a semi lost voice standing behind me.

"Yes Ashido, it is." I said stating the obvious, looking back forward.

I hate this commanding job; I'm only doing it because Ashido wanted to do it. Plus, it just angers me when soldiers are too stupid to do anything.

"You gonna be alright?" he asked.

Obviously, what am I? A damsel in distress?

"Yeah I'll be fine."

He just nodded and limped back from the camp to his sick bed near the "planning office".

The camp is owned by my brother, were just temporarily taking it over because he said so.

Fortunately he is the Sergeant of this division, so he rules us all. I can never reach him because he's ALWAYS sleeping in that so- called "planning office" AND he has like millions of damn bodyguards guarding his stupid office like what the heck?

If you are asking how my brother looks like... don't bother. He just has long black hair with 3 streaks of bangs that hangs in front of his face and I seriously think he looks like a girl.

I sighed in boredom and intended to walk to the market place near the residential soldier camps to grab some wine.

Can this day get any worse?

Once I got onto the pathway to the marketplace, the one soldier walking towards my direction caught my eye. He was walking out of the market place and the thing that made me notice him is that he has bright orange hair.

Once he got a bit closer, I saw that he has amber eyes and was pretty much scowling. It looks like it was permanently plastered on his face. I took note of this 'man'; especially his bright hair.

If I were to be compared to him and I, I'm only 4"8 and he's probably like what? 5'7"? ... He's tall as hell!

And something about him... this man... it just bothers me. My guts just tells me he might as well bother me for the rest of my life.

I looked in another direction on my right, looking at other soldiers giving me smiles and waves. I smiled back sadly and waved weakly at them, not wanting to deal with them right now.

Then all of a sudden someone knocked me onto the hard dirt ground. I looked up angrily and it was that orange haired man. Not giving me eye contact, standing there like nothing had happened.

"You idiot! Watch where you're going!" I yelled with a vein popped onto my forehead.

He looked down at me with his scowling face.

"Sorry- Woman." He said sarcastically; stuffing his hands in his uniform pocket.

Disrespecting me now soldier? I'm not just a woman, I'm an Officer you bastard.

"Know your stance soldier!" I said getting up from the ground and brushing the dirt off my navy blue commander uniform.

He looked to his right with his narrowed eyes. "Know my stance," he scoffed "My ass."

I hate this man.

"What did you say soldier?" I half yelled fuming with anger staring into his eyes.

"Nothing." He said looking back at me and crossing his arms.

I gave him the most fearful death glare I could ever put out and he just laughs.

"That ain't scary." He said leaning forward to where my face is.

I glared at him again as I shoved him away from me. He stepped forward and leaned closer to me.

"Acting tough now?" He smirked.

I cannot take this anymore. The arrogance of this man! Urgh!

"Shut it soldier and out of my way!" I yelled shoving him harshly, leaving him there.

Ichigo's POV

I smirked as she shoved my shoulder roughly. I really didn't realize this but she looks really cute when she's angry. I don't know why but she just does. I won't admit this to the guys though since they know I'm not very much interested in romance with girls.

I noted her hair; it was silky when the sunlight shined on her and her eyes, it's so big and the colour is ravishing; just like blue ocean water on a bright sunny day.

Okay that sounded really cheesy. But to my point, she's just plain beautiful... ish.

Even if she is beautiful, pretty decent I guess compared to most girls I've seen but... she's a BITCH.

She's like a bitchy demon woman if you asked me. God, she just reminds me of my stupid high school teacher Mrs. Uchi!

Her attitude just makes me want to kill someone!

I, Kurosaki Ichigo hate this... what should I call her? she-devil/ midget/ bitch commander? Either one works anyway.

I bet this was her first time doing Ashido's shift because he was called sick and needed replacement. I'm glad I have him instead of her!

Another reason would be total frustration and anger towards soldiers when they do something the commander doesn't want them to do...

It's obvious isn't it?

Plus, when Ashido commands these soldiers, they don't listen. They're wacky and bothersome. Did I also mention annoying too?

Still standing in the same spot pondering about this little annoying voice of a bitchy midget of a commander, my train of thoughts was interrupted by a hand gripping my shoulder really tightly.

Instinctly I turned around and punched the soldier the soldier behind me hard. The squeeze just reminds me of the times back in grade 9 where random people would start jumping on me and beat me up.

"Ichigo you dumb ass!" The man yelled as he fell onto the dirt ground, wincing in pain.

I looked at the man on the floor; it wasn't just any man. It was my best friend Renji.

"Whoops, my bad" I said grabbing his hand and helping him up.

"He got up and stood there brushing the brown dust off his olive green uniform and looking at me angrily with his tattooed brows scowling furiously.

"What the hell was that for?" He yelled with his arms spread out.

I shrugged.

"You squeezed my shoulder tightly. To me that is a threat squeeze. Since I was jumped at a lot when I was younger thanks to the colour of my hair, they would squeeze my shoulder tightly before punching me... didn't I tell you that already?" I tried to reason.

"No, that probably was Hitsugaya and maybe you should let loose on that Ichi. No one is going to jump on you here dipshit since we are all equally suffering through the nastiness of the trenches. At least we managed to survive the Kamikaze attack when we bombed Pearl Harbor." He said crossing his arms

"…. Sure... I guess you're right…" I said touching my chin, trying to find a better argument for that answer.

"Plus strawberry, were cool right?" He said smirking while leaning on me and nudging me.

"Don't call me that pineapple." I said a bit annoyed, glaring at him and crossing my arms.

"Thanks for calling me that Strawberry," He said looking the other way. "Cmon, let's go see how Shiro is doing." He said pointing his thumb behind him "He's been working on that report forever!" He said flinging his arms up and walking back to our camp.

I let out a sigh and followed him back where Toushiro is.

A/N: I think this chapter is pretty decent.
