So I did get prmoted. The next day I was moving in the twelth division squad, my room not that far from Kisuke's. The building right in front. Our rooms were right across from one another, seperated by a garden and training ground. I took back my Hakama and woke up on a new fresh start. So the adventure continues, comment and rate!

Its been a week since I started working here. Urahara brought a man named Mayuri from the maggots nest to work with. And then we started the real work. We were doing alot of experiences, exilir and such. To be honest, I didn't regret a second for accpeting the offer. We didn't have any missions like we had for the second division. But we still nedded to train on a regular base. I had a lighting type Zanpakuto. I was the only one I knew that had one. Its name was Xion and was a huge blue unicorn who had a golden mane and horn. I already achieved Shikai years ago but I was still stuggleling for bankai. I needed to dominate a mustang, great. Everyday after work, I was training very hard.

''Need a partner?'' Asked a voice behind me.

I stood up. I was out of breath. It wasn't easy at all. I just came out of meditation and look at my taicho.

''Urahara-taicho!'' I exclaimed getting up and bow.

''No need to be so formel Sara, I am calling you by your first name, why don't you do the same?'' He asked sitting under a tree. He invited me to do the same, so I sat next to him. It was fall and the tree had all of its leafs, but were bright orange. It was beautiful.

''Taicho, is it true that you've achieve Bankai in only three days?''

He stared at me for a moment with a smile on his face.

''You heard?'' he said.

''Yes, Yoruichi told me at my 'promotion' party.'' I answered laying back on the tree.

''Yes, it is true...'' he said with a sigh. ''But it is very dangerous, is you don't suceed in three days you'll lose all your shinigami powers and probably die.''

I nodded.

''Anyway, I wanted to achieve bankai with the honest way.''

He laughed.

''You think I've achieved Bankai the wrong way?''

''No, I think you've found I short cut to reach Bankai.'' I replied with a chuckle. ''I think you were just lazy.''

He laughed again.

''That may be true, but it may not.''

I looked at him, puzzled.

''You sound like an old man speaking in riddles.'' I finaly said making him laugh again. We looked at each other and I got up.

''You came here to chat or to train?'' I challenged him drawing my sword. He looked at me and got up as well. He drawed Benihime and took an attack position.

''Let's have a little bet, if you win, I'll do all your paper work for a week.'' he proposed. I smiled, he knew that I hated doing paper work and I replied: ''And what will happen to me if you win?''

He thought about for a few seconds.

''You'll be my personnal servant for a week.'' He said with a smille. ''Deal.'' I said with a nod.

I smiled and flash stepped to him. He blocked my attack with a serious face and he counter-attacked. He pushed me away and I made a back flip and landed gracefully on a boulder. I smiled, so did he. I unleached my Zanpakuto. The banale blade became sai, one in each hand. Kisuke also unleashed his Zanpakuto. We stared at each other for a moment and we charged. The blow was impressive, our force combined made the wind blow in our hair and dust flying. We faught in silence at first but the mocking started.

''What's wrong Taicho? Your bones are too rusted, or are you to old to handle me?''

He flash stepped behind me and I barely blocked his attack. His blade almost hit my shoulder but I forced againts it.

''To old, am I? Last time I checked, I wasn't the one stuggleling.''

I smiled and managed to push him away.

''I am only getting warmed up!'' I replied.

''Really? Wasn't it you that was training for about an hour before?''

I looked at him, falsly insulted. I was about to charge but he disappeared to appear behind me with his blade on my throat. I dropped my weapons, admitting my lost.

''That is why I was getting tired.'' I said with a chuckle.

He took my wrist and turn me towards him.

''My win, huh?'' He said with a smirk growing on his face. ''What will I make you do for starters I wonder!''

I sighed and he smiled. His tummy growled and I laughed.

''How about dinner?'' I proposed. He had a slight laugh and a blush while rubbing the back of his head. I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchens with him. At this hour, it was empty. Great, I didn't like to disturb our cooks. I took a receipe book and went throw the pages and stopped on the most simple one. I made rolled omelets with grilled fish. Okay, it wasn't pretty but...

''This is good!'' Said Urahara taking a bite.

I sat in front of him with my own plate and took a bite myself. Meh.. not bad.

''I didn't know you could cook.'' he said again.

''Well, I do know how to follow a receipe. '' I replied with a smirk.

''Really?'' he also replied with a smirk. ''Because when it comes to lab, you mostly mess up.''

I blushed terribly hard.

''Hey! It wasn't my fault, I didn't expect that hydrogene to be extremly explosive!'' I defended myself. Kisuke just laugh at that.

''Its okay to make mistakes Sara, even if you almost kill us all.'' he continued. I kept blushing, I think that I was turning purple because Urahara laugh even harder.

''Your so mean...'' I whispered with a slight smile on my face.

''This is such a dusgusting sight!'' Opposed Hiyori that just came in. I looked towards her and saw her frustuated. She didn't like Kisuke or me, I guess that the previous captain meant alot to her... And me being friends with her new Taicho disgusted her. Kisuke sighed as he finished his plate and went after Hiyori that ran away, leaving me alone. I looked at his empty plate and finished mine. I washed my mess and went to bed.

The next day, Urahara sent me to the second division to pick up a fragile package. That morning I was really tired and was sleeping late, being lazy until I heard Urahara's voice:

''Saaarrraaaa-chhaann!''

He was calling me out side of my room and when I opened the door, I was espacially grumpy. I didn't answered him, I just stared. But Urahara didn't gave up his innocent smile.

''I need you to get me a package from the second division.''

''Do I look like a mail's man?'' I asked.

''No, but you do look like someone who lost a bet yesterday.'' He answered with a smirk.

I sighed, I think I'm going to regret to make that bet.

So I was walking back to my division with a bog box in my arms. I hopped I could have seen Yoruichi but she was still in bed at that hour. On my way back home, I bumped into someone. I almost dropped the box.

''I am so very sorry!'' I said quickly. I couldn't see that someone.

''Look where you are going, brat!''' The man said. I didn't see what happened, but obviously someone knocked off the box, since it when from my arms to the ground. I couldn't even react that I was in the wall, pushed by a man big as hulk. The smaller guy and he touched my cheek with his filthy hand. He came closer to my face.

''Ho ho ho, not that bad, I think I'll have some fun with you!'' he said. He was the man who spoke earlier. Hulk was probably his pet or something. He was holding me with one hand only. His hand could hold my two arms againts my body and was under my breats area and they were kinda popping out. I gasp when Hulk started to squeeze me and his master was laughing very hard.

''Gentleman, that isn't a way to treat a 3rd seat.'' A familiar voice said. I turned my head so as the little man. I was releaved to see Shunsui Kyokaru, captain of the 8th division. The smaller man ordered Hulk to let me go and bowed very respecfully in front of the captain.

''We are very sorry Taicho.'' he whispered.

''I'm not the right person to apologize to.'' He said. Kyokaru came closer to me and help me up.

''We are very sorry miss 3rd seat.'' he quickly said with a slight bow. I nodded and they hurried to run away.

''Thank you.'' I whispered with a blush when Shunsui let me go.

''It is always my pleasure to help une demoiselle en détresse''' he said picking up the package.

I walk towards him and expected him to give me back the box, but he didn't. He started to walked towards my division.

''Come on, let me walk you home.'' He said stopping to look at me. I stared at him for a moment and nodded with a smile. I rushed beside him and we walked in silence.

KIsuke POV

I was doing some paper work when I felt Sara's reiatsu coming back. I walked out the division to greet her, but what I saw surprised me. She was with Kyokaru who was carrying my package and Sara was chuckling on something he said. It was Kyokaru that saw me first.

''Oh! Hello there Kisuke, beautiful morning isn't it?'' he said with a smile. He and Sara stopped in front of me and Sara bowed.

''Urahara-Taicho.'' She said.

''You shouldn't let a beautiful young women to your diliveries alone, she may be attacked.'' Shunsui said innocently. Sara blushed at that and she bowed very low in front of the 8th division Taicho.

''Thank you Kyokaru-Taicho.'' She said with a small voice.

''If you need anything, don't hesitate coming to me. It will be my pleasure to help you.'' He said handing her the package.

''I'll keep that in mind Taicho.'' Sara replied with a kind smile.

I looked at the scene, puzzled. I never saw Sara speaking with Kyokaru before... Shunsui had a slight nod to me and a did the same before he walked away. Sara looked at him for a moment before she turned to me.

''Sorry to be late.'' She said with another bow.

I put my hand on her head before taking my package. We both walked in the division and I asked her to follow me.

Once in my office, I put down the box on the desk and stood in front of her.

''What happened?'' I asked obviously worried.

She blushed and look away.

''Nothing really, I was walking back here when I bumped into two men...'' She stopped talking.

She didn't need to continue, I understood right away.

''I understand.'' I said with a nod. She look at me obviously surprised before looking down again.

''I'm very sorry Taicho...'' she whispered.

I laughed at that. Again, she looked at me, but this time she was totally lost.

''You don't need to apologize!'' I said caressing her beautiful hair. ''It wasn't your fault!''

I stopped laughing and stared at her.

''I'm the one that should apologize to you.'' I said very seriously. ''Next time you'll keep me compagny in my deliveries.''

A smile grew on her face and she nodded.

''I need to do some paper-work.'' She said.

I nodded and took my hand of her head.

''Go ahead, but stay on your guard for your next order!'' I replied with a smile.

She looked at me, defying me with her eyes but didn't say anything. She slightly bowed before me and left.

I sighed and before I could take place into my chair, a ninja from the second division appeared infront of my door.

''Urahara-Taicho, there is a problem in the maggots nest. Shihouin-Sama wishes your assistance.'' he said, almost in panic.

I didn't hesitated, I nodded and went out my desk. I saw Sara who was talking to Hiyori in the hall.

''Both of you, come with me.'' I ordered them. They quickly nodded and follow me in my flash step.

When they finally catch up to me, I explained the situation.

''I'm not sure what is going on, but there is trouble in the maggots nest.''

''And why we need to go?'' Asked Hiyori.

''Because Yoruichi asked my assistance.'' I simply anwsered.

My response seemed to worry Sara, because she knew that if Yoruichi was asking help to others, their was big trouble, but my answer didn't seem to convince Hiyori.

''So, basicaly, because that Shihouin asks it, you'll rush to help her? I thought she was super strong.'' She said.

''That's the point'' Sara came in. ''Usually, she don't need some help, she must be in huge trouble.''

I turned towards her lieutenant and we exanged a smile.

When we arrived to the second division, Shihoin was waitind for us, wierdly with a bottle of sake in her right gand and obviously drunk.

I rushed towards her.

''Oh! Kisuke, that big guy in the maggots nest pissed me off! I fought with him and won, but now, for a funny reason, I feel drepress...''

She stopped moving for about three seconds and laughed. She touched my face with her free hand and squeezed my cheeks.

''You funny face, Kisuke Urahara!''

She walked back and laughed even harder. She had no sense what-so-ever. She completly lost it. Soi Fon appeared behind me.

''She's been drinking since she came back.'' She said, looking at her captain, obviously worried. ''Something was off, she was in a good mood this morning, but she came back, beaten and depressed...''

I stood there, looking at my best friend. Ignoring an angry Hiyori who was saying:

''What the Hell? We came here for nothing-?''

I felt Sara's hand on my arm and I looked at her. I knew what she was asking.

''Yes, let's go take a look.'' I answered as I walked to the maggots nest. Sara followed me instantly, but Hiyori wined before following us in.

As we walked in, an order tickled my noise.

''Cover you mouth and nose.'' I ordered qquicly, covering myself.

Too late, Hiyori feel to her knees and look into nothing.

''Why Taicho, why did you leave me?'' She said sheading into tears.

'Sara-Chan, hold your breath and take her back to Soi Fon and explain the situation to best you can, no one can come down here.'' I said looking at my lieutenant. She had a quick nod and took Hiyori back outside.

I stared at her back until she disappeared. I turn back to the bottom for the cave and kept walking. The two guards at the entrance were sleeping. I took their pulse just to be sure they were still alive and opened they gate when I was satisfied.

Sara's POV

When someone of the fourth division took Hiyori after I quickly explained what was happening in the cave. I couldn't realy explain how a fume could possibily make someone this depressed, but Unohana was brining her and Yoruichi to the hospital.

''Are you coming Tsukiyumi-san?'' asked Soi Fon to make a report.

''If you don't mind Fuku-Taicho, I'll go check on my Taicho.'' I said.

She looked at me and nodded. I didn't waited longer and run in the maggots nest with my Hakama over my nose and mouth. I rushed down the stairs and through the door, curiously open...

I walked in to see Urahara in the middle of the place, with all the prisonner's bodies all over the place. Kisuke look towards me, his face was turning purple by holding his breath this long. I rushed towards him while he was loosing consciouness. I quicly drag his body out of there, holding my breath. I closed and locked the door and put my Taicho on my back. God he was heavy! I still managed to flash step out of there, to the fresh air. Soi Fon was waiting for me outside and was shocked to see Urahara unconscious.

''Fast, the two guards are still down there, uncouscious!'' I said quickly.

She nodded and rushed inside with another ninja.

I kneeled beside my Taicho and put my ear to his mouth. He still wasn't breathing. I tried clapping my hands, scrubing his rib cage, but nothing worked. I had no choice to do mouth to mouth. I put my ear to his chest, his heart beat was fainter by the second. I pinched is nose and opened his mouth I put mine on his, giving him air. Two breaths and thirty push on the solar plexus. I did that three time before he gave sign of life: he put is tounge into my mouth.

I moved back and look at his face. He was still uncounscious, but breathing. He slowly opened his eyes and they caught mine. He smiled I tried to sit up. I helped him up and he sighed.

''So what happened down there?'' I asked pointing the access to the maggots nest.

He slightly look at the entrance and when he turned back to me, he had a stupid smile on his face as he rubbed the back of his head.

''Oh well, you know, I was holding my breath as I was fighting the prisonners and I was out of breath, and well, I fainted!'' He said followed by the usual 'hehe'.

''Well that is a lame excuse.'' I said crossing my arms.

We stared at each other for a moment until Kisuke put his hand on my shoulder and said: ''Come on, let's go make our report to Genryusai.''

I smile then nodded, we both walked side by side for a moment but I stopped infront of the fourth division.

''Maybe we should check on Hiyori-san first...'' I proposed.

He looked at me before glancing to the fourth division's gate. He smiled and put his hand on my head.

''You are right, we should.'' He said while the door opened slowly in front of us. Isane greeted us with a bow to my Taicho before asking us to follow her. She brought us to Unohana's and she waited for the next order.

''Kisuke, Tsukiyumi-san, what a pleasure to see you both okay!'' Unohana said with a big smile. She looked at me very seriously.

''If you don't mind Tsukiyumi, oculd you please leave us? Isane will bring you to Hiyori.'' She said with a kind smile, but I felt she was uneasy and nervous. I slightly bowed and left with Isane.

As I walked away, I looked over my shoulder to see Kisuke's was shuting the door. My heart pinched, I was worried for my friends and I didn't like to be excluded...

''So what happened?'' Kotetsu asked me. I felt her curiousity was just waiting to burst out. I sighed and decided to explain, the best I can, the situation to her.

''I don't know, something weird happened..., their was like a fume or something in the maggots nest making everyone go madly depressed. Yoruichi was completly drunk when we arrived...'' I said looking at her at the last part.

''Yes, I've seen, Hiyori was crying like a baby, I've never seen her like this...'' She whispered like it was a confession.

''And Yoruichi tried to drown her negative feelings in alcool...'' I added.

We kept walking in silence until she stopped infront of a door. She opened it and Hiyori was sleeping in the bed. I rushed to her side.

''We managed to take a blood sample after putting her into a forced sleep, she was getting agressive...'' She said with a sad expression on her face.

I turned back to Hiyori and sighed.

''Will she be okay?'' I asked brushing away some hair from my fuku taicho's face.

She stayed silent, bringing my curiousity to her.

''WIll she be okay?'' I asked again coming closer to her.

''I-I don't know...'' she said sorry. ''It is the first time we see something like this...''

''And Yoruichi?'' I asked worried.

''She fell asleep, well black out is more likely, but we know nothing on their situation, of them and the others of the second divison...'' She said looking at her feet.

Kisuke and Unohana came in. Urahara seemed very serious while he past by me to look at his fuku taicho. Nobody filled the heavy silence. I stayed very still until my Taicho put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and he gave me a sad smile.

We both left the room after i bowed infront of the fouth division's Taicho. She nodded and we left. Kisuke was lost in his head, I could tell. So I didn't speak until he broke the silence.

''Unohana gave me blood samples of both Yoruichi and Hiyori, we will try to discover what brought them like this and find an antidote... For the time being, you'll take over Hiyori's work until she gets better.''

I nodded but didn't say anything, I was very worried. Urahara should have felt it because he grabbed my arm and turned me towards him.

''Sara-Chan, we'll find a solution, they'll be okay.'' he said with a kind smile as he stroke my cheek.

I nodded but couldn't answer to his smile. So he pulled me into his arms, surprising me.

''Urahara-Taicho?'' I called in a small voice. He carressed my hair with affection as he was pulling me closer to him.

''Sara, please, it is not your fault, we'll find a solution together, be strong for everyone...'' he whispered in my ear.

For the first time I understood that being a captain was hard, you needed to be strong to keep your team going. For a second, I felt his weakness. I decided that day that I'll be strong for him.

I slowly pushed him away and smiled, I was sincere, he answered to me smile and we went back to the lab at our division.
