Fork In The Road
Chapter 7: Here Goes Nothing
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach!!
Ichigo rolled over, checking the time. "8:13 a.m…I guess that's okay," he grumbled, slowly crawling out of bed. Today was his first day at work, and he had to be at his squad building by 10.
He was, thankfully, not placed in the sixth squad, but as captain of the 9th division to replace Tousen. What if I screw it all up? Walking into the shower, he began to think. Rukia…wedding…subordinates…How am I going to handle being a captain? I bet I'm going to be the worst captain ever…
Making his way out of the shower and down the hall into the dining room, he saw that Byakuya had already left and Rukia was sitting there, just staring into blank space. "Aren't you supposed to be heading to the 13th division as well?" Ichigo questioned, "Well, you have only 15 minutes left and your division is quite far."
"Don't worry, I can shunpo there," Rukia assured him, and smiled. "Nervous?"
"Yeah. What if I screw up? Being captain isn't easy, I don't think…"
"You'll do fine. Come on, let's go."
The two walked for a moment before parting ways. Ichigo walked towards the big building and took a long look at it. Stepping in slowly, he peered around. It seemed like a stiff environment. Everyone was… not themselves. He decided he would change that.
"Okay, here goes…," he mumbled.
A/N: Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, and for not updating. I promise I'll try my best to update as much as possible! I've been sick for the last week, but I have Easter break so you'll probably get a lot of updates from me.
I'll try to post the next chapter by Saturday. Is that okay?
