DISCLAIMER: I do not own bleach


Chap: "I have to go back to Soul Society."

"What!?"Sakura screamed, so loud that I had to cover her mouth.

"Don't worry," I said cheerfully. "I will be back. I just need to meet my new captain." I said.

Ayumu gasped. "You got promoted! Good job, Shi!" she said.

"I have to leave today," I said. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry bout' it," They all said. "Who's your new captain?" They asked.

"G-gin Ichi-Ichimaru." I managed to stutter out the words…Or name.

"Oooh! That is… Kinda creepy, but real cute!" Sakura squealed.

"Why?" Kameko asked.

"Well-" Sakura began, as i pulled a large stick out of nowhere. "N-never mind. I'm sorry Kameko." she said. She wouldn't want to risk death by stick. The rest of the day went by with a blur of laughs and pranks. In last period, I felt someone grab my arm. It was Renji. "It's time." he said, smiling. I took a deep breath. He handed me a goukon pill. I swallowed it and my gigai popped off. I gave it to Renji an he hid it. I touched my zanpakuto for the first time in weeks, somewhat grateful somewhat afraid, and held my breath as renji unlocked the portal inbetween worlds. I looked back, closed my eyes, and stepped in. I felt the cool air of the seiretei imediatly, and i heard some one call my name. "Hoshi-chan!" It was Hikari.

"Hikari-chan!" yelled back at her. We hugged each other, and she had tears in her eyes. "I missed you so much." she sighed. We joined hands and walked off towards the third division's barracks. Renji parted, and a few feet awaw from third division, Hikari parted. I lifted my hand, afraid. I knocked on the door, and someone opened it.

"Come in, Come in. Hoshi-chan." It was Gin. For some reason, his smile didn't unerve me like it did some people."Thank you." I said, as best I could, but it wasn't convincing. My normal voice, that sounded like falling rain, rised an octave. "I know you must be nervous," he said. "But I won't bite." He led me to my new room, and i put my bag down. He handed me my new squad patch. He tapped my shoulder.

"Would you accompany me for lunch?"

"O-of couse, Ichimaru-sama." I said.

"Please. No suffix. Please refer to me as 'Ichimaru-san.' " He said kindly... if thats what you could call it.

He took me to third squads resturant and we had lunch.
