I am SO sorry for taking sooo long to update.. well… everything so here is CaFS chapter 17! ENJOY AND I DON'T KILL ME!

Hoshi lazily walked back to the 11th division barracks. She paused, yawned, and continued on her way noticing various soul reapers with hell butterflies passing by. She wasn't exactly in a hurry to get back to that monstrous amount of paperwork.

"I'm gonna need a drink after this," she half moaned once she was finally back at 11th. Casting a long look around the paper laded room she corrected herself. "Make that a very large drink."

As Hoshi trudged through the sea of white boredom she noticed a little pink spot near the desk. Hoshi sat in the chair and leaned back, one arm slung over the back of the chair. "Yo. Yachi-chan," she called.

When Yachiru didn't respond Hoshi got up and brushed away the small amount of paper that covered Yachiru. "Heh," Hoshi laughed. "Poor kid fell asleep."

Hoshi scooped the little vice-captain up and sat back in her seat. May as well give Yachiru a more comfortable spot to sleep than the floor. She thought to herself as she started the paperwork once again.

Just as Hoshi was starting her third report Ikkaku and Yumichika burst into the room. In Yumichika's hands was the precious caffeinated concoction on which their lives depended on.

"Here!" they yelled together placing the coffee on the desk hurriedly.

"SHT!" Hoshi shushed. "Yachiru is sleeping you morons!" she said in a whisper yell.

Ikkaku and Yumichika's eyes dropped to the napping Yachiru, who yawned and rolled over. Ikakku instantly covered Yumichika's mouth with his hand, and Yumichika did the same for Ikkaku. They backed out of the room as fast as shinigamily possible.

Hoshi shook her head, disparately trying not to laugh. God those two are amusing! I've gotta have drinks with them…… and take a lot of blackmail photos, soon. She thought grinning evilly.

After a few long hours of non-stop work and coffee consumption Hoshi had done about a quarter of the paperwork. Hoshi stretched and yawned wearily. She had piled the finished work neatly beside herself on the floor. "Hmm." She mused. "I wonder how I'm gonna get this all to the 1st and 2nd divisions…."

Then an idea came to her. Grinning sinisterly she took out her soul pager (given to her by Yamamoto along with the uniform) and dialed. (AN: soul pager is the equivalent of a cell phone, pager, tracker and GPS)

Meanwhile, Yumichika and Ikkaku were training with the other 11th division men. Well it wasn't so much training as it was preparing the division members for Hoshi.

"That girl is terrifying," Yumichika said with a shudder. "I warn you to try and not get on her bad side…. Although I think she only has a bad side."

"Hoshi," Ikkaku said, eye twitching nervously. "has a worse temper than Captain Yamamoto."

That instantly instilled fear in all of the 11th division. If anyone was quick to anger it was Captain Commander Yamamoto.

Then Ikakku's soul pager rang, causing everyone to jump and shriek like little girls. With a shaky hand Ikkaku reached for his soul pager and answered. "H- - ahem- Hello?"

"Oi, Ikkaku. It's Hoshi." Hoshi said on the other side.

"Hoshi?!" he asked in a voice 3 octaves higher than his own. "What- what do you need?"

"Ahaha," she laughed lightly. "I just need you to send a couple of the boys down to take the reports I have finished to the 1st and 2nd divisions."

Ikkaku cleared his throat, his voice returning to normal. "Right."

"Oh, and make sure they're quiet. Yachiru's still sleeping. Bye bye Cue-ball!"

Seething with rage Ikkaku hung up and turned to his comrades. "Alright. I need a few volunteers…to go help Hoshi."

There was a collective shudder. A few of the dimmer members shouted out. "No way am I gonna go near her!" "Are you crazy?!" "Not a chance in hell!"

"Thank you for volunteering. Kaito, Juro, and Hotaka." Ikkaku said to the three who stupidly shouted out. "Now get goin' and be quiet, Yachiru is sleeping in the office."

"Yes sir!" they said in unison, running like hell.

The three of them quickly ran to the office where Hoshi sat waiting, still doing paperwork. They opened the door and bowed. "Good afternoon Takaya-san."

"Oh good, Cue-ball sent a few." Hoshi said, lazily looking up, motioning with her hands. "Come 'ere. Quietly."

The three quickly, but quietly scurried up to the desk. Hoshi gave them each a gigantic stack of papers. "You," she said pointing to Kaito. "Bring these to the 1st division, pronto. And you." She said to Juro. "These go to the 2nd division. And finally, take those" she motioned to Hotaka. "to the 3rd division."

"Hai, Takaya-san." They said together, hurrying out of the door.

As they left Hoshi sighed. "Great. Looks like living here is going to be exactly like how it was when I was alive. Feared, hated, and alone."

Hoshi continued to work, but little did she know Yachiru had heard her. Yachiru had woken up when the three stooges came in. As she laid on Hoshi's lap Yachiru wondered what Hoshi meant. Why would anyone hate Oshi-hime? She's fun and makes Kenny happy!

As the diminutive vice-captain pondered this Kenpachi stormed in.

"What's this I hear of you bossin' my men around?" he asked, eye narrowed.

Hoshi stopped working and looked up at Kenpachi, eyebrow raised. "One, I out rank them. Two, those reports I just finished needed to be delivered to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, divisions, five years ago. And three, either shut up, or leave 'cause Yachiru is sleeping."

Kenpachi growled and slammed his hands down on his desk. "Don't be talkin' big kid. Just 'cause your 4th seat doesn't mean I'm letting ya throw my men around."

Hoshi leaned back and smirked. "It aint my fault if your men can get beat up by a girl."

Kenpachi grabbed Hoshi by the front of her shirt, glaring down at her. "Looks like I'm gonna have to show you your place."

"Bring. It. On." Hoshi said, returning the glare.

Before things could become too heated Yachiru jumped up between them saying in a sing-songy voice. "Moooorning Keeeen-Chaaaan and Ooooshiii-hiiiime!"

Kenpachi instantly let go of Hoshi and folded his arms while Hoshi sat back ruffling Yachiru's hair. "Have you been awake the whole time?"

"Noooooo," Yachiru lied, giving her best 'I'm cute so you can't punish me' eyes.

"Heh," Hoshi shrugged. "keep that up and you're gonna have ta find yourself a different pillow."

"Okay!" the mini vice-captain smiled, hopping off of Hoshi and onto Kenpachi's shoulder. "C'mon Hoshi lets go do something fun! Its boooooring sitting around doing work!"

Hoshi smiled and stood up. "Yeah got that right. I'm almost done so I guess it is time for a break."

"YEY!" Yachiru cheered. "Oshi-onee-chan's gonna play with me!"

Hoshi blushed lightly at Yachiru referring to her as her big sister and Kenpachi took notice, for once. To his surprise he liked the way Hoshi looked when she blushed. And to his greater surprise he wanted to keep seeing her like this. Yachiru launched herself at

Hoshi, making the 4th seat stumble back a few steps, which caused her blush to darken slightly.

Kenpachi gritted his teeth and turned to walk out of the room. He paused at the door and

without turning he said. "Make sure she doesn't get into any trouble."

Kenpachi kept walking down the long corridors. He desperately needed to clear his head. Just what the hell was happening to him? First he was impressed with Hoshi's power and fiery attitude then he was irritated by her coolness. Now, he found himself liking the cute expressions she had just made. Kenpachi didn't realize how far he had gone and found himself at a dead end.

Great. He thought bitterly. His lips contorted into a snarl as he threw his head back and roared. Kenpachi's frustrated yell was carried thru the whole Seiriete.
