Chapter 4-Rukia lieutenant of squad 9
Ichigo woke up in the squad 4 barracks with bandages wrapped around his shoulder, he sat up and slid out of the bed when he noticed a sleeping Hikaru without his mask but his face was covered by his hair so Ichigo walked up to the sleeping captain and reached to take a look at his face when Unohana appeared next to him and said "I would appreciate it if you would not disturb my patients"
"I was just checking if he was ok" Ichigo said jumping away
"he is in my personal care so he will be fine" she said "as for you since you seem to be able to move freely I suggest you get back to you squad"
Ichigo grabbed Zangetsu and made his way to squad 9 where he found Shuhei
"Shuhei" Ichigo said walking in to the barracks, "I need to talk to you"
Ichigo sat at his desk in the office, "what is it Ichigo?" Shuhei asked
"I was thinking of getting you transferred to squad 13" Ichigo said
"why?" Shuhei asked
"since I am new to being a captain I was going to ask Rukia to serve as my lieutenant but I don't want you to lose your position as lieutenant so I'm going to suggest you become the lieutenant of squad 13" Ichigo told him
"really" Shuhei said not sure what to say
"I was going to see captain Ukitake about it now do you want to come?" Ichigo asked
"yes" Shuhei said getting up and the two soul reapers walked to the squad 13 barracks where they found Rukia doing paperwork
"what happened here?" Shuhei asked
"I have a lot of work to do, I have to write up reports on the hollows that are appearing in the precipice world and on the casualties from those hollow attacks, I also have to write up a report on the progress of the new members of the squad" she said
"we were looking for Jushiro" Ichigo said
"he's in the next room resting" she said
"this actually concerns you so you should come with us" Ichigo said
The three went in to the next room where Jushiro was sitting reading but he did look tired, when he saw them he greeted them with a smile, "what brings you here Ichigo?" he asked closing his book
"I wanted to ask you something" Ichigo told Jushiro
"what is it?" Jushiro wondered
"since I'm new to being a captain I wanted to suggest that we switch lieutenants because me and Rukia worked well when I was a substitute soul reaper so having her as my lieutenant would help me adjust better" Ichigo explained
"I believe that is a good idea, Rukia has been overloaded with work and I think Shuhei could handle it better" Jushiro said
"captain I am handling the work load just fine" Rukia said
"I don't doubt that you can handle it but there is no denying you and Ichigo do make a better team" Jushiro said
"there you are" someone said, the four of them looked around before Hikaru walked in with a new mask that was completely red on its right side
"is that a new mask?" Rukia asked
"yes it is" Hikaru said
"how many of those do you have?" she asked
"a lot" he said
"why aren't you wearing your captains coat" Jushiro asked
"I am" Hikaru said, turning around to show them the captain coat scrap that was clasped to his right zanpakuto sheath and you could just see the squad 5 insignia
"I didn't see it" Jushiro said
"why are you here?" Ichigo asked interrupting the two
"I'm looking for Shuhei" he said, "I wanted Shuhei to become my lieutenant"
"what about Momo?" Shuhei asked
"she can become Ichigo's lieutenant" he said
"but he's taking Rukia as a lieutenant" Shuhei said
"well then Shuhei can be the lieutenant of squad 5, Momo can be the lieutenant of squad 13 and Rukia is the lieutenant of squad 9" Hikaru said, "so we can do this tomorrow bye"
After Hikaru walked out they all agreed and went their separate ways.
Next day
Rukia walked in to squad 9 ready to start her day as its lieutenant, she walked in to the captains office to find Ichigo talking to some of the members of the squad about the newsletter, when he was done she walked up to his desk, "why did you want me as a lieutenant?" she asked
"it will just makes me feel better if you were my lieutenant" Ichigo said going to look at some paperwork
"well the work will be easier" she said going over to her desk
The two worked for about an hour, passing comments every so often, till one of the members of the squad walked in with some papers.
"what is it?" Ichigo asked
"the head captain wants you to deal with a powerful hollow that has killed 5 soul reapers" he said
"ok get the 3rd through 8th seat and get the camping equipment packed" Ichigo said getting up, "come on Rukia"
"I'm coming with you?" she asked
"you're my lieutenant and a good lieutenant doesn't leave their captains side" Ichigo said
By sunset Ichigo and the group had not found the hollow so they decided to camp by a lake for the night, Ichigo and Rukia sat in the captain's tent for hours talking about hollows they destroyed together until they fell asleep.
Ichigo was awoken by the sound of men screaming and he was up instantly kicking Rukia awake and grabbing Zangetsu, when Ichigo got outside tentacles were coming out of the lake and were wrapped around all of the people Ichigo brought, while he was thinking of how to attack one of the tentacles grabbed Rukia and then a giant sphere rose up out of the water with a hollow mask
"so they finally sent a captain to kill me" it said holding the Rukia over its mouth, "I like to eat the women last they taste sweeter"
"getsuga tensho" Ichigo fired the getsuga at the hollow but it smashed the water with its tentacle creating a water shield blocking the getsuga, Ichigo jumped through the water and brought Zangetsu down on the hollows and fired a getsuga as his zanpakuto connected with the hollows head, the hollow screamed as it died dropping the squad members after Ichigo checked every one was okay they packed up camp and headed back.
Aizen's cell
"another 19,999 years" Aizen thought "I hate this place it is so dark and damp"
Aizen just sat there trying to think of a way to escape, "there has to be a way out" he thought
"I know a way out" he heard a voice in his head, the voice was familiar but he couldn't remember who it belonged to
"who are you?" he asked
"don't you remember me?" it asked
"no who are you?" Aizen asked
"who else could it be" it said
"Kyoka Suigetsu" he realised
End of chapter 4
So Aizen still has his zanpakuto and that could spell trouble for the soul society but not for a long time I have things to write any way I like to be flattered so review
