My last year of the Shino academy went along quite well. Me and my friends all had the time of our lives, before we were sent off to the squads that we had all wanted to join. It was a triumph for us all.
"WHY AM I IN THE SAME DEVISION AS MY OLD MAN DIVISION!," Suki scream out furiously as she looked at the division result sheet, on the Shino academy wall. All of the sixth year students now knew their squads, that would become their second homes in a way.
In the Shino academy field outside the academy, the newly graduated students have their last battles.
"I take back what I said. Or I should alter it to 'ALL EXCEPT ONE OF US,"Suki growled in a slightly upset yet furious tone.
"Calm down Suki. It's not that bad. You've also got your mum in the division too, remember?" Miki said, as she gently patted the girls shoulder.
Suki just simply rolled her eyes.
"It's very bad. All I will get will be constant moaning about how I should act more like a lady, "Suki sighed.
"I agree with Ise Fuku-Taichou" Ryu said in a slightly playful tone, as he waved his hands in agreement.
Suki glared at Ryu, just before she placed her hands on her zanpackuto sheath and said,"Wanna fight?"
"It's graduation. I don't want to fight and get all messed up" Ryu muttered, in a slightly disapproving tone.
"Oh I get it. You're scared of me right. Scared to be beaten by a girl, "Suki teased.
"Why you little-!," Ryu growled but was not able to complete his sentence as Suki had already drawn out her zanpackuto and was ready to strike Ryu down. Suki growled as she jumped forward and the fight began.
"Hey Rei, do we need to break them up soon?" Akira asked, as he watched how easy the not so experienced Ryu managed to dodge the girl's advances, as if he was a pro.
"Hmm? I'm staying out of this. He said the word Suki hates the most" Reiku answered bluntly, as she continue to observe the two fighting Shino students, who you could easy mistake as a 'couple'.
"To be exact what Rei is trying to say, is that we will step in if Suki even attempts to perform Shikai" Kaze said standing beside his girlfriend. His girlfriend who happens to be Reiku.
"Blazing fire, Houou (Phoenix)" Suki screamed as her once sealed zanpackuto, burst in to red and black flames. She charge at Ryu with a deadly yet sinister grin.
Ryu had only one option left.
Ryu sighed softly, "You're a cute and very tall girl."
Surprisingly, Suki's Shikai disappear and she ran over to Ryu and pulled him in to a tight embrace.
Her once furious aura disappears and was replace with a calm one.
"There you have it guys. A calm and happy Suki" I giggled a little, as we learned about Suki's split personality.
Most of the Shino academy students had seen the battle but none made any attempts to stop it. As they knew it is normal for our little group to have frequent mini battles among us.
"Now that I think about it ,Suki. What division would you like to join? You didn't tell any of us which division you actually wanted." Miki questioned curiously, as we all crowed around the chibi girl who was now standing next to Ryu.
"I actually wanted the 12th division" Suki answered, as we all looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Wh-what?" Ryu almost choked in disbelief.
Suki sighed and repeated what she had muttered only a couple of seconds before "The 12th division. CLEAR."
"Why the 12th?" Kaze asked.
Suki took a deep breath before she muttered a reply "I would like to learn more about Hueco Mundo and that would be the squad for that. Like how the reiatsu in Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society are so alike. I like those kind of things."
Before anyone of us could say a single word, the eight division captain appeared behind Suki. He lifted up the shocked Suki and twirled her around.
"My baby girl is in my division!" The 8th division captain, Shunsui Kyoraku exclaimed happily as he continued to happily twirl around his 'little' girl.
"Le-Let me go old man!" Suki shouted, as she furiously kicked her legs which were a metre above the ground, in a futile attempt to get free.
A thick book was sent flying towards Kyoraku, smacking him directly in the face, forcing him to let go of Suki. Suki was caught by Ryu before she even touched the ground.
There stood a smirking Nanao Ise.
"That hurt Nanao-chan!" Kyoraku whined like a child before picked up the book which had landed on the ground, then picked up himself. A bright red book print was on his face. The students could not help but giggle, at the most comical sight.
"It's your fault for not listening to her," Nanao answer lightly, as she adjusted her glasses a little. Inside she was grinning like a fool.
Ichigo then appeared, with my father right next to him.
"This lively little group will always be causing trouble, heh Ichigo?" Otou-sama said, as I ran up to him and hugged him tightly. He grinned away as he returned my hug.
Kaze ran up to Tatsuki and his father, before giving them big hugs.
"Hey little one. Long time no see," Renji grinned as he released me from the embrace. I immediately noticed Kuchiki-Taichou and Oka-sama were no where to be seen. I couldn't help but find that a little strange.
"Where's Oka-Sama and Kuchiki Taichou?" I asked curiously.
"Rukia is taking care of Reizo and Kuchiki Taichou is helping, well probably just watching. They told me to tell you on graduating, you are getting into the division you wanted. The 6th division, 3rd seat?," My father simply smiled.
"Otou-sama, you know where I will be. You haven't even seen the results for yourself," I queried.
"I'm testing your awareness" Renji chuckled.
I jumped up in excitement and smacked my father on the head accidently. An angry expression quickly appeared on his face.
"Erm. I take my leave now," I quickly said, as I flash stepped out of the Shino academy, with dad not far behind telling me to get back so he could smack me.

"Sorry we are late," Hinamori Momo, the new fifth division captain said, as she walked over to the noisy little group. Izuru Kira was beside her. A blur of red quickly tackled the two of them.
"Miki! How have you been?" Kira asked, as he ruffled her hair.
Miki replied in a delightful tone "Fine as always,"
"Glad to hear that Miki," Kira and Momo laughed.
"Oh Can someone explain why Abarai Fuku-Taichou was so pissed off with his daughter? We happened to see them running out of the academy." Momo asked curiously, as the whole group sighed, including the adults.
"Reiku accidentally smacked Renji on the head and Renji was angry, so he started chasing her out of the academy" Ichigo said, First he was smacked by Tatsuki, then by Kaze.
"That explanation was horrible!" Tatsuki yelled at him, as Kaze nodded in agreement.
"Got anything better than mine?" Ichigo yelled back, with a pissed off expression.
"I get what you mean. So it is not necessary to have another explanation,"Momo chuckled.
Miki, Suki and Kaze were all happily talking to their parents about their school life and how well they had done in the academy, as Akira and Ryu watched from the side. They both lookied kind of down because sadly they had no parents to congratulate them.
"Family are amazing," Akira said as Ryu nodded slowly.
"Are you going to move to the division today?" Akira asked.
Ryu just simply nodded again.
"How about you?" Ryu asked.
"The same answer as you,"Akira grinned, with a lop sided grin.
"We better tell them we are heading to the division first. If not, our girls will both kill us," Ryu laughed.
The two of them had practically raised each other in the harsh reality of the Rukongai District. They had supported one another and protected each other, as if they were brothers. In a way they were.
"Akira and I will be heading to the division to get ready for duty tomorrow. We will take our leave here" Ryu said, as both he and Akira bowed in unison before flash stepping away.
All graduating 6 year students were allowed the rest of the day off until they started work. That included packing their things all up, from their dorm rooms and moving them to the barracks of their new divisions.
Izuru Miki was place in the 3rd division, 3rd seat.
Kyoraku Suki was placed in the 8th division, 3rd seat which. She hated the division for no apparent reason. Well maybe because of her annoying parents, who she did in fact love.
Akira Fujimoto was placed in the 7th division, 4th seat.
Ryu Sakimoto was placed in the 13th division, 4th seat.
Kurosaki Kaze, as everyone guessed, was placed in the 9th division, 3rd seat.
I, Reiku Abarai am in the 6th division as the 3rd seat.
I hope my friendship with my most treasured friends will last forever, even though we are in a different divisions. Either way our bonds of friendship will never break but as I look up at the turning midday sky, I feel as if my life could shatter because of a blow I know that is coming. A blow that will destroy my life.
