3rd ACT: Haru- chan's New Position
________________________________________________________
"We have a new captain"
The Gotei 13 General Commander stated. All captains listened to him intently.
So one of the posts that had been left for 5 years will be occupied. The burning question was who?
"Yama-jii I can't believe you had actually found one," the 8th division captain chirped in.
"Yes I have, Kyouraku- taichou, a very capable one at that." He added
"I hope she's a very beautiful girl," the pink haoried captain said with enthusiasm.
The old man chuckle at his subordinates remark and said,
"She is"
"Do we know her?" the youngest in the squad asked, hoping that the new one will be trustworthy unlike the previous ones.
"A lieutenant maybe?" the fox faced captain of the 7th suggested.
"Some of our lieutenants have achieved bankai, so Komamura- taichou may be correct" the motherly captain said while looking at the general commanders direction.
The general is enjoying the guessing game and he was very amused by the captain's speculation, so he decided to prolong the game.
"Not quite, Unohana- taichou" he said
" May I inquire who?" the captain of the sixth division said. This talk is senseless he thought.
"Oh you knew her very well, Kuchiki- taichou" he had been waiting for the stoic captain to speak up because he really want to see whatever reaction that will manifest in his handsome face.
"Kuchiki" cough "Rukia?" the thirteenth division captain said while coughing
"No" the old man said not taking his eyes off the 6th squad's captain
"Shihouin Yorouichi?" the captain of the 2nd said, unable to hide her excitement.
"No"
The general said while observing the noble, and
decided to add this statement,
"Well she is a Shihouin alright"
And there it is, an evident shock painted all over Kuchiki- taichou's face
"Harusame" Byakuya said, earning a confused look from Hitsugaya- taichou.
He had never seen him this surprised, who is this Harusame, which had made the expressionless captain go in to shock.
However realization hit the others, Harusame, oh yeah, that girl.
"Isn't she a knight?" the creepy captain of the twelfth said.
"I'm still a knight, Mayuri-san" a female voice said.
She then walked in, right there, on the aisle that the captain had made, due to there alignments.
She was still wearing her knight's uniform and as usual her beauty is outstanding.
The sixth squad captain stared at the girl with shock.
"Haru—same.."
"Hey, Byakuya" she said casually. Well it took her the whole night to rehearse this line and tone. So that she can deliver it perfectly. Damn the commander and king making her go through this mess.
The general commander, amused by this scene decided to interrupt
"Please, formally introduce yourself"
"Gotei Juusan- tai, Kyu-ban-tai taichou Shihouin Harusame desu!! Yoroshiku!!" she said happily
Amidst it all Byakuya was surprised his ex is back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the meeting Harusame walked to her new division.
The ninth.
She can still remember the surprise that was etched in Byakuya's face.
He is still handsome as ever. Realizing what she is doing, the newly appointed captain mentally reprimanded herself. He was so over her, so she might as well follow and cast him the hell out of her life. This is just a job, and she should act professionally.
Harusame was so absorbed in her thoughts that she bumped on someone.
"Ouch" she said while rubbing her nose
The man whom she bumped, turned around and looked at the girl,'I didn't sensed her' he thought, brushing those thoughts away he decided to give the clumsy girl a piece of his mind.
"Watch were your going!" he said annoyingly
Harusame looked at the man and said,
"Sorry, I shouldn't –" but something caught her eye so she blurted, "-- what the hell!!!!"
"Excuse me?" The man said in confusion
"What's that on your face!" she said while pointing something in his face.
"What is?" he replied while consciously touching his cheeks. Is there some oddity in there that may have caused this violent reaction? He thought.
"You have a freakin' sexual position tattooed on your face? Are you a pervert?" she lashed out and cast a man a disgusting look.
"No I'm not!" He exclaimed in defense while blushing madly
"For your information, it means something!!" he added. How dare she! Thinking him as some low class pervert.
'There is nothing wrong in tattooing the number 69 on you face 'he thought
"Whatever" she said while rolling her eyes
"Your new here, what is you division?" he said while crossing his arms in front of his chest. He then looked at the girl from head to toe she's quite pretty, he thought.
"Ninth" she reluctantly answered, what's with the weird look that he was giving her, Harusame thought.
"A new recruit huh? And by the way why are you wearing your uniform that way?" he inquired
She then looked down at her outfit; well she did changed it a little, okay maybe not a little.
Her shikahusho is now sleeveless, and the standard hakama pants is now changed into a pencil cut skirt ending above her knee, the white obi is now changed into a black corset- obi like, with a big white rose on the side and dangling silver ribbons.
And to top all that she is wearing a black knee high socks and she even changed the usual straw sandals into a stiletto version of it.
Well thinking about it, she is still wearing her knight's uniform; she only changed the color from white to black.
"What is wrong with my uniform?" she asked innocently as if she didn't know what is he talking about.
"Besides, your not in the position to question me, given that you cut your sleeves too, who are you anyway?"
'She's right, damn her!' he thought
He decided to roll on with the conversation and answered her.
"Kyu-ban-tai fukutaichou, Hisagi Shuuhei"
"Hmmm…. so your Hisagi Shuhei huh?" she said while standing on one foot and folding her arms in front of her chest.
"That is Hisagi- fukutaichou to you," he corrected
"You? What is your name?"
"Me? Shihouin Harusame" she said with glee
"What?" he said in surprise.
'This cocky woman is his new captain?'
"Yup heard me right" she replied
"Taichou?!" he said while bowing
"My deepest apologies maa'm" he continued, 'Damn, I'm planning to impress the new captain!! What have I done, wait, I can't sense her reiatsu very well; she can conceal it that much?' he thought
"Don't mind it, by the way my Haori is in my office right?" she asked
"Hai Taichou" he answered
"Good, I'd like to introduce myself with everyone" she then walked and headed for her new office, leading to her new life.
God help her.
