Tadashi cocked his head to the side, "Wait...I have to what now?"

The Lieutenant of Squad Nine Hisagi Shuhei sighed and tapped a pen to his chin, "Alright then, I'll repeat myself. The Ninth Division is making a Division Handbook for each division to show new recruits what it's like in each division. Therefore we, as in me, have to speak to the Captain and Lieutenant of each Squad and ask questions."

Tadashi nodded, "Ahhh! Okay then, I'll be sure to answer every question then."

Hisagi grinned and nodded, "Alright then, first question. What kind of individuals are you looking for?"

"That's easy. People who are hard working and like to have fun!"

Hisagi nodded and wrote that down, "Next question. How would you describe the atmosphere aound your division?"

Tadashi sighed, "Kind of tense, what with all the things that have happened recently, but we get along and have laughs."

"Okay, next. What do you require of new recruits?"

"Hm, those who wish to learn and reach their full potential but above all as long as your nice then you're welcome to come."

Hisagi quickly wrote it down, "Alright then, last one. Some words for the Shinigami recruits?"

Tadashi thought on it, "I can't wait to meet the new faces! Oh and a warning for the new recruits of my division, my girlfriend likes to stop by and kidnap me every once in the while so don't be afraid!"

Hisagi froze, idly witing it down.

He has a girlfriend? How come none of my souces found out about this? I must invistigate!

Hisagi gulped before nodding, "Thank you for your time. Oh just two more things. Would you be interested in writing something for the Seireitei Communication?"

Tadashi shrugged, "I don't see why not, I'm sure I have something I could write about. What is the last thing?"

"Oh, I need to get your opinion on a division. What is you opinion on the Fourth Division?"

"Oh, it's a great division and without it we would be crippled and our training would bear no fruits. It's led by one of the oldest and most expereinced Captains who is extrememly kind and a mother figure. The Lieutenant is also really nice but scares easily, oops shouldn't have said that, and takes great care of my lil bro Saburo who's the Third Seat. My only warning is that you never be disrespectful or start a fight, there's a reason no one ever picks a fight with Unohana, not even Kenpachi."

Hisagi nodded and after finishing stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your time Captain Tadashi."

Tadashi just grinned and waved his hand as of to say don't worry about it before turning to some paperwork.

Hisagi bowed once more before walking to the other side of the room to sit in front of Momo's desk. Momo looked up from the book she was reading and smiled, "Hey Shuhei, is it my turn now?"

Hisagi nodded and returned the smile, "Yeah. Alright I'll get started on the questions then. What kind of individuals are you looking for?"

Momo smiled and put a bookmark in her book and setting it on her desk, "Enthusiastic people."

"How would you describe the atmosphere around your division?"

"Very well, there's still some stubborn people but it seems like the majority of the people love it here and it's really peaceful."

Hisagi nodded, inwardly glad that the damage done to the division was healing, "Next question. What do you require of new recruits?"

Momo's eyes lost their shine momentarily, "People who don't betray anyone." Hisagi's eyes widened by a fraction before he masked it, Tadashi's eyes panned over quickly but he masked it better than Hisagi's ever seen.

"Okay then, final one then. Some words for Shinigami recruits?"

Momo's smile came back, "Let's protect the Fifth Division together!"

Hisagi nodded with a smile and wrote it down, "Thank you. Oh before I forget. Do you have the drawing for the recruitment brochure?"

Momo nodded and reached into her desk before pulling out a white piece of art paper. The drawing had a picture of their flower, Lily of the Valley, in the top center while the rest of the page had the sillohoutte of a man with hair in a short ponytail, his haori waving in the wind behind him, holding onto a long sealed zanpakuto with the shadows at his feet rising up like whisps of smoke. On the bottom center was the kanji for 'Danger' and 'Love', most likely speaking of the insingia's meaning which was sacrifice, danger, pure love, humility, and sweetness.

Hisagi whistled once he saw the picture, "Impressive, you're drawing talents are defiantly top notch. I know your busy drawing for the Shino Academy but you should draw some pictures for the Seireitei Communication."

Momo blushed and nodded, "I-If you say so." From where he sat Tadashi smiled before returning to his paperwork.

Hisagi grinned, "Well then, I'll be off. Thank you both for your time."

He turned and walked out of the room. Tadashi leaned back in his chair and regarded Momo, "So...you like to draw then huh?"

Momo regarded her still closed book before thinking it was a lost cause and turned to her Captain, "Yes, I think I might be better at it than I am with Kido." Tadashi's eyes widened and he whistled.

"Whoa, that's saying something! You're one of the best kido masters in Seireitei after all!" He paused to think, "I think you might be one of the top five or three too." He snapped his fingers, "Hey I have an idea. Let's have a division wide training session. Can you call whichever officer we have that is best at zanjutsu? Oh and Hoho."

She nodded and Tadashi smiled, "Great! I'll be in the courtyard!"

He shunpoed out of the room and left Hinamori to smile, He's so enthusiatsic about his job. I'm glad he's our Captain.

Tadashi smiled at his division, even Sho the Third Seat, as they stood in the courtyard.

He grinned and pulled out his zanpakuto, hefting it on his shoulder, "Alright everybody! I've decided that every week we're going to have a division wide training. The only way you're getting out of it is if you're sick, injured, or on a mission. Now we're going to seperate everyone into the area where they think they need the most work." He pointed to Momo, "She will be taking everybody who thinks they could work on their kido, I will be taking everyone who thinks they need help with their Hakuda, Sho will help with Hoho, and Chiharu will help with zanjutsu. Any questions?"

There were none and everyone split up into groups. The training lasted for hours and at the end of it all the whole division, minus Tadashi and Momo, were too tired to move inside and instead opted to just lay down on the grass and watch the night clouds drift through the sky.

Momo, who was laying next to him, smiled up at the sky, "You know...that was pretty fun. I didn't realize how much this division could benefit from group training like that."

Chiharu giggled and curled up into a ball next to her, looking up at Tadashi's grinning face, "E-Either did I. It...It was fun."

Tadashi just chuckled, "Fun? You two are really something, everyone else is dead tired." Tadashi sat up, "Well, I have something left to do." He sighed and grabbed his zanpakuto and ran it through his sash on his left hip, "Momo and Chiharu, keep the boys in line while I'm gone."

He disappeared, surprising Chiharu with his speed and making Hinamori giggle at her surprised look.

Tadashi sighed and opened the large doors to the Captain Meeting Halls, aware that he was the last one to be there. Thankfully they hadn't started their meeting as he felt he would've gotten in trouble. He took his spot next to Captain Komamura while there wasn't anybody next to him due to Gin Ichimaru's betrayal.

In the middle of the room was a knealing Saburo who looked like he might combust due to the overwhelming power around him. He sighed, feeling sorry for his brother before eyeing Soifon who was narrowing her eyes at him.

"Tadashi, I don't remember teaching you to be late." Despite her jab at him there was a certain softness.

Tadashi grinned and bowed his head in an apology, "I apologize greatly Captain Soifon, please allow me to make up for such an insult by taking you out for dinner."

Ignoring the wide eyes and surprise from their fellow Captains Soifon nodded, "Very well. I'll be expecting you then."

A grunt sounded out and everyone's eyes panned over to Head Captain Yammamoto, "I trust this new-found realationship will not affect your work."

The two Captains and shook their heads, "No Sir, if anything it's been like this since we've known each other." Tadashi smirked evily, "Except now I can kiss her all I want! Wuhahaha!"

Every Captain inwardly felt like slapping him at that moment, even the blushing Soifon. Captain-Commander chuckled, as if finding humor in their relationship.

"To business now. You all know of the group Tenraihana correct?" At everyone's nod her continued, "Then you must be aware of just how large this group is. A single division of the group exceeded three hundred and had three opponents who would be able to combat a Lieutenant, two of which Captain Takeshi had to fight using his Bankai."

A murmur passed through the group of Captains, almost like they were all thinking, Just how strong were they?

Tadashi stepped up, "Indeed there were two men who I fought using my Bankai but to clarify the first man, Arashi Yuu, was only Lieutenant Class but he just pissed me off. The other man, the Leader of Yamigun Noroi Yuudai, was indeed Captain CLass and if I had allowed him to use his Bankai then the outcome of our fight may have been different. If I didn't have Captain Soifon or Lieutenant Momo with me then I would have surely been killed."

He stepped back in line, ignoring the look of surprise from Saburo.

I knew he was on a mission and of his fights but I never thought I'd hear him admit he could've died...what a powerful group this Tenraihana is.

"Third Seat Saburo, please tell us of your accounter with the Adjuchas."

Saburo froze before taking a deep breath, "Of course sir. During my vacation I was allowed residence in the Kurosaki Household and had went to the park alongside one of Ichigo Kurosaki's sister Yuzu Kurosaki. While there, as we were talking, I was attacked by an Adjuchas hollow and was forced to take the blow or else Yuzu would've died. During my fight with the hollow he had told me that his "Master" had ordered him to go search to see if there were any threats to him and seeing that there none his "Master" would be able to eat all the souls he wanted." He frowned, "And after I was caught by surprised I used my remaining reiatsu to use my Bankai attack to harm him. Thankfully Ichigo Kurosaki was there to finish him off."

Captain Hitsugaya frowned, "You have a Bankai, Third Seat Takeshi?"

Saburo nodded, "Yes Captain Hitsugaya, it's taken me twenty years however. But even with it I'm barely Lieutenant level, hopefully within years to come I master my abilities."

Captain-Commander nodded, "Indeed. With you in the Fourth we wouldn't have to worry about losing any members while they heal the injured." He tapped his cane against the ground, "I have come up with a plan to deal with the threat. We will send a group to watch over Karakura Town and another to be on watch in Seireitei. Captain Soifon, I have put you in command of the Seireitei watch. Alongside you will be Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Abarai, Captain Zaraki, and Lieutenant Lieutenant Izuru. Captain Tadashi, I have put you in command of the Karakura watch. With you will be Third Seat Takeshi, Captain Hitsugaya, Unseated Officer Rukia Kuchiki, and Lieutenant Matsuri. You will leave by early morning, the limiters will be placed on you then. Due to the circumstances we will alow you to release the limiters only when absolutely neccesary. Dismissed!"

The Captains filed out and Tadashi stepped up to Saburo, "Since we are going on the same mission tomorrow it is best if you spend the night in my barracks. Is that okay with you?"

Saburo nodded, "Of course, besides that time at Kurosaki's has left me thinking how little time I spend with my actual family."

They both turned as Captain Unohana and Hitsugaya stepped up to them. Unohana smiled dow at Saburo, "Good luck on your mission, Saburo-kun. Lieutenant Isane and I would both like it if you expanded on this Yuzu girl on your return." She patted his shoulder before looking up at Tadashi, "I trust you will return him to us in top condition."

Tadashi nodded, "Of course, it would take an army of even Vasto Lordes to get to him with me there."

Unohana smiled and bowed her head slightly, "Of course. Do take care yourself."

She turned and walked outside, leaving only the Head Captain, Soifon, Hitsugaya, Saburo, and Tadashi in the room.

Toshiro sighed, "It seems that this will be our first time working together, Captain Takeshi."

Tadashi nodded, "Indeed, and please Takeshi or Tadashi is just fine. I don't care much for honorifics."

Toshiro frowned, "Takeshi then. In any case don't be late tomorrow, and I believe you have already found a temporarly residence for our group, correct?"

Tadashi smirked, "Indeed, however I believe that I will have to station you and Matsuri at Urahara's." Tadashi caught the eye of Soifon, "Well then, if you excuse me Captain Hitsugaya. If I don't leave soon my lil Soi over there will kill me."

He walked off, Saburo nodding his head to the Captain before following at a slower pace. Once he met with Soifon the two held hands and walked out of the room as a group, almost like a small family.

"Hmm, it's been hundreds of years since I've last seen two Captains love each other like that." Head-Captain spoke with a small almost unseen smile, "It is refreshing, isn't it Captain Hitsugaya?"

Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya shrugged and moved to walk out of the room, "Hmph, as if. It's almost disgusting how much love is 'in the air'."

Once the doors closed and the Head Captain was alone he smiled and thought back to the woman he had loved back when he was young, "Still young, Captain Hitsugaya. You should always treasure something like love, because it could be taken away by the smallest things."

He sighed and walked out of the room, the lights fading away as if they too sensed the sadness in the air.
