Chapter 8

After all the paperwork was done, which didn't take long with the help of Mikaze. I noticed in the day that she was a very nice girl and would be a person that I can depend on when it is the time for fighting and just for a general chat. Not that Raven isn't good for that but when I want an opinion on something that doesn't get a 'just kill them and then problem solved' attitude and actually facing the problem without bloodshed. She was the girl!

Anyway when I headed home to see how Raven got on with her first day back at 2nd division, she simply said that nothing has changed and it was nice get back on track. I knew that she more than happy to be in her place of comfort and to be who she is but didn't like to show what she was feeling.

I told her about the encounter with Lieutenant Ise and the invitation to SWA and that I will be attending the meeting tonight. She was a bit weary at first but she decided that she would tag along and see what all the fuss was about. I really think it's because she doesn't want to sit at home and be watched constantly all night without me there. I know it's not great to be all alone and you know people are watching you; it would put anyone on edge.

Right now we are sitting in my living room waiting for Mikaze to arrive so we can head off to the meeting together. I told Raven about my new third seat but she wasn't really listening to what I had to say, guess she's not that fussed with it. It would be nice if she took more interest in what goes on in my life then her own for a change.

I sighed impatiently, it was 7pm and the meeting started in the next half an hour. It would give us time to get there and…wait a minute I never asked where the meeting was?

"Raven do you have any idea where the SWA is located?" Raven stopped fiddling with her fingers in boredom and glared up at me. "No" she looked back down and continued on to what she was doing.

Great neither of us knows where we are supposed to me going. I flicked my hair back in annoyance and groaned "just great I really hope that Mikaze knows otherwise we are screwed!" I little evil chuckle came from Raven, I stared down at her "and what's so funny!" my face was all scrunched up trying to look annoyed but failed as I could never could pull off that facial expression.

"You, so irritated about a stupid location but if it was your life on the line your all happy and positive. Your backwards you know that" My face softened and thought to what she said and she was right. Why in the hell should I be irritated about where we should be going. It's not like we are going to be beheaded for turning up late or anything.

"Yes I am backwards but you wouldn't like me any other way now would you?" I smirked. She returned the smirk "Nope you would be too boring" I chuckled and nudged her slightly on her shoulder. She smirked back at me.

There was a knock to my door. I could tell by the Reiatsu that Mikaze was here ready to head off the SWA. "Come in, it's open" I replied, as she slid the door and walked through; I could see that Raven had tensed and observed our new arrival. She didn't say anything, which I was happy about as I didn't want a fight going on in my living quarters, I just got it the way I like it!

"Wow I love the bodyguards you have" Mikaze said sarcastically and Raven growled. I knew that Raven hated to be watched and thought there was no point in it but we didn't have a say in the matter. Also I told Mikaze about the extra security for Raven's sake but I never thought that she use that for a joke around her unless she has a death penalty.

There was silence for a few seconds but there was no lash from Raven at all! I looked at her; she was still observing Mikaze with intensity like she was trying to figure her out.

"What no jokes, well that's boring" Mikaze replied as neither me nor Raven said anything to her comment.

"I hate jokes" Raved said to Mikaze with furrowed brows and clenched fists trying to restrain herself from possibly hurting my new third seat. "Well and truly noted" the pigtailed girl replied and walked up to me, but not before giving Raven a friendly smile.

"Heya Captain. Ready for this meeting?"

I nodded "its Michiko remember" She nodded "by any chance do you know where the SWA is?" Mikaze placed her finger to her chin in thought.

"Do you, because she was having a hissy fit before about it" Raven intervened and looked more relaxed then she was before. Mikaze chuckled to Raven "I could believe that." I pouted; I wasn't that bad was I?

"Well I have heard that they have a room somewhere in the Kuchiki mansion" My face paled and my heart skipped two beats from hearing that name. They have their meetings in the Kuchiki mansion and Byakuya lets this?

"Erm does Captain Kuchiki let them have there meetings there I thought that no one was really allowed to go in there" I said partly confused.

"Well yes he lets them now but once he never knew about it. Before he found out the SWA had meetings in his home, there where tunnels built under the mansion to they could get in and out of it, just so they could be out of sight of the men association"

"Oh I never thought the SWA would go to those lengths just get away from the guys but I wouldn't blame them" We all nodded to the understanding that some of the guys could be real creeps.

"Well are we going or not! I have no intention to stay here all day!" Raven aggravatingly pushed past me and Mikaze and then walked towards the door wanting to leave.

"You just don't want to stay here and be watched all night" I replied to her and all I got was a growl and a hit of annoyed aura. Mikaze shuddered to the feeling of the aura but shook it off without a word.

"Yup lets go" Makaze walked after Raven. I sighed and flashed after them.

As we were slowly flash stepping the SWA and the Kuchiki mansion, my heart wouldn't calm down. All I could think of that I was going to be in Byakuya's house with him possibly being there doing paperwork or just relaxing after a day of work. I would be so close to him. My heart pounded harder that anyone could hear it outside my chest and my face flushed bright crimson. I was glad that I was behind the other two and they couldn't see my face of flushness. I needed to calm down before we get there or everyone is going to ask what's wrong, I really don't people to find out about my stupid infatuation because that would cause too much attention.

As I slowly breathed and calmed down my heart and face we finally reached the mansion. Before the door were two members of the 6th squad standing guard.

"State your presence of being here" one of the squad members said. All three of looked at each other cautiously and I slightly nodded to the others as I thought that it would be a good idea if I spoke as I was a captain.

"We are here for the SWA meeting" both of the guards looked at us slightly confused, possibly as we where not the usual faces but they nodded and opened the door for us.

We walked through the door and stepped into the hallway the Kuchiki mansion. My mouth dropped, I had never seen such beauty and elegance in a house before. Anything I looked at from paintings to vases could have cost no more than my life earnings EACH!

"Wow nice. I wonder what it feels like." Raven walked up to a painting and slightly moved her hand to the painting to touch it. Before she could, I flashed over to her and grabbed her arm. "NO! Don't touch that! If you ruin it I don't think you could pay for the repairs" She pouted to me (which was weird she hardly ever does that) and Mikaze was laughing behind us at Ravens curiosity.

"I was only going to touch it not slice it up!" she stormed off and I rubbed my temple as a headache was brewing at her stupidity of the fact that everything in here was expensive and it shouldn't be touched.

We finally reached the door of the SWA. I knocked gently on the door and then we waited patiently for someone to let us in. The door slid open and we came face to face with Nanao.

"Oh captain Nakamura, third seat Kyoraku and Tsuki Hikari. Please come in" Raven growled towards her full used name but I held her back before she did anything reckless and Mikaze laughed again as the aura came out of Raven.

As we were stepping inside Raven and Mikaze wondered towards the back with the other women but I stopped and turned to Nanao. I placed a arm on her shoulder "For the records Nanao, please could you call Tsuki 'Raven' from now on unless you have a death wish" She nodded to the understanding "Plus it's Michiko ok" I gave her a warm smile "Sure capt…I mean Michiko, I understand" she replied and placed her sliding glasses up her nose.

I went over to the table and took a seat by Rangiku, who gave me a warming smile to which I returned. I looked around the room and saw all of the high ranking women that formed the SWA. Most of them I respected for being so strong and skilful to be even high enough to better the men. Raven was talking to her captain, Sui-Feng. They seemed to be hitting it off despite that her captain was keeping an eye on her and it had been a few years since they have worked together. But as they have the same manor and approach to things, it's not surprising they got on well.

Mikaze was talking to Lieutenant Kotetsu Isane and her sister Kiyone having a deep conversation. I'm not sure on what but they got on really well.

"Heya everyone!" a little voice said. I turned from my investigation of people in the room to the voice that just spoke. Right in front of me was the Lieutenant of the 11th division, Yachiru Kusajishi. I still have no idea how someone so young and cute could be the lieutenant of the 11th division, the most brutal and fight hungered division is the whole of the Gotei 13, also she was the president of the SWA! She was so small and had a constant smile on her face but you should never underestimate the power of a small person. For one me, and also the captain of the 10th division, Toshiro Hitsugaya. You never want to get on his bad side, for the stories Rangiku told me, I'd rather not.

"The matter of the meeting is that we need more funds for the SWA! So does anyone have any ideas?" she stood on a chair so she could be seen and she tried to look serious but that made her so much cuter, she's in the 11th division, I'll never get it.

"Well president if you didn't spend the money on sweets we wouldn't need to obtain more money" Nanao soothingly noted to the young president to which the pink haired girl just pouted "but we need sweets cos they are yummy. You all like them right" She glanced to the room hoping everyone replied positively. To that they did with vigorously nods not wanting to piss of the small Lieutenant/president. I couldn't believe that everyone was afraid of such a small person, or were they scared of her adopted father instead, who knows?

"See vice president we need sweets!" Nanao sighed and shook her head not wanting to get into an argument with Yachiru because she knew that winning against her would be pointless, she did what she wanted anyways, by the looks of it.

"Oh before that we have new members. Can you come up here, please" she said happily. I got off my seat along with Raven and Mikaze. We walked over to the font of the room and turned towards the crowd of people looking at us.

Great the centre of attention again! I don't mind talking to my squad because I'm giving orders but this is totally different. I gulped and swept my hair back hoping I would calm down.

"Ok Aura girl you can go first!" Yachiru said to Raven as she pushed her forwards in front of everyone. Raven growled to the stupid nickname but let it slide. "Fine" She looked in the crowd and focused on her captain, maybe just to feel calmer.

"The name is Raven not Tsuki Hikari otherwise I'll kill you! Don't ask why I prefer that name because I do, so get it right first time" She glared at Yachiru but it didn't faze her and just smiled it off. "I'm in squad 2, trained assassin. Hi captain!" She waved to her captain and Sui-Feng returned the favour. Wow they were close.

"And that's all you need to know about me, the other parts you know already" She sat back down next her captain.

"Ok pigtails your next!" Yachitu mentioned to Mikaze. She chuckled to her name and patted the pink haired girl on the head, Yachiru smiled.

"Well I'm Mikaze Kyoraku, daughter of Shunsui Kyoraku, Heya! Erm… oh I'm the new third seat for the 3rd division and I'm glad that I could be apart of your organisation" She did a peace sign and went back to her seat. A few people around the table were trying to talk to her, most possibly to know how she could be the daughter of 8th squad captain.

"You're next sacrface" I broke out of my thoughts and pouted to Yachiru who didn't really care on what she called me.

"Miss president, that's a bit rude don't you think? Sorry about that Michiko she didn't mean it" Nanao apologised for Yachiru's abruptness but I shook my head.

"Oh it's alright I have had worse trust me but for the record Yachiru it's Michiko, ok" I gave her a brief smile and she returned it. "Yup ok Chiki".

I sighed "It's Michiko but ok" I turned towards Nanao and she said "That's the best your go to get out of her, she never really remembers names, we all have to live with it" I nodded.

"So Chiki tell us about yourself" Yachiru swung forwards then back on her heels waiting for me to continue with my introduction. She looked so cute like that but if I told her so I'm not sure if I'll live.

"Well ok well I'm Michiko Nakamura captain of squad 3, previous squad 6 member. I have only been a captain for a few weeks and it's now growing on me. Erm… I think that's about it!"

I was about to sit back down next to Rangiku but I was stooped by Yachiru "Chiki how did you get that scar, I really want to know!" The whole room gasped.

"Miss President you can't ask that!" Nanao rubbed the bridge of her nose in annoyance towards the younger girl. "No it's alright Nanao. If she is curious I can tell her it's not that bad of a story just a breakthrough in my life that's all" She nodded and I turned towards the front of the room again.

"Yay" Yachiru bounced on her chair in excitement.

"Ok well you see it all happened when I was in the academy years ago. We went on a mission the world of the living to defeat hollows. At the time I was never the most confident Shinigami but excelled in my written classes, but when the field came to play well that's when it all goes wrong. I was always on the sidelines watching everyone defeat hollows one by one but this time I was alone far from everyone wanting to stay out of the way. But that was when I was sneaked attacked by a hollow. It charged towards me flailing its arms towards me, I had hardly time to dodge as he sliced my left eyes with his sharp claws. I couldn't fight back; I couldn't see and thought that my life would be over. I felt pathetic and useless and really thought I should die and that no one would miss me. Then when I thought it was all over someone stood between me and the hollow and sliced it. Till this day I still have no idea who it was that saved me as eye vision was not great but I'm ever so grateful to them"

The whole room was engrossed with my story and Yachiru was still bouncing up and down excitingly on the chair she was standing on. "So what was the breakthrough Chiki and can you still see out of your eye?" I smiled towards the younger girl.

"Yes I can see a little but it's blurred. I have got used to using Reiatsu to focus on my left side." She nodded so did the entire room.

"Well the breakthrough is that once I was hospitalised for a week, it got me thinking that I needed to get stronger and be useful to people. So every night I would meditate and talked with my Zanpakuto to learn her ways and spar with her to gain the fight I always wanted. Then I was asked if I could join the 6th division once I graduated and the thought never got a miss. I was going to get stronger in the division that was respected and hard working. But when I was there I noticed that I was the only female within the group and everyone noticed how weak I was and made fun of me for it. The captain was never around to see this so it was never resolved. So I decided that I would train religiously by myself for years and years without suspicion, till the day I obtained my Bankai and now the captain of my own squad."

Gasps and whispers where heard around the room. I felt really uncomfortable with everyone talking about me in a way I couldn't hear them. I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment hoping they would stop.

"Wow Michiko, that's impressive! I can't believe you went from someone so weak to the captain of your own squad." Nanao said to be with admiration in her eyes. "Well, I'm not that great. If I didn't train in the field that day I would have never been found out, so it's all luck really"

"No it's not luck captain Nakamura. You are simply a strong and determined girl. You yourself have made this happen, you should be proud" I looked over to the back where captain Unohana had spoke her word from. I blushed to her words and fiddled with my fingers in bashfulness.

"R-Really you think so?" Everyone in the room nodded, so did Raven but only a slight one.

"Yes of course. Izuru said that you are an amazing captain and he is impressed by how you have settled in so well in the squad. He really respects you" Momo replied with a bright smile on her face.

My lieutenant respects me wow. I never thought I had done a good job in the few weeks I have been the squad 3 captain, I have hardly been there. Though if he said that then he must have had feedbacks from the other squad members. I lifted a smile.

"Aww that's sweet of him. I'm glad he is my lieutenant." Momo smiled and nodded.

"Ok let's get on with the fact of the meeting now that we have our newest members introduced" Nanao said as she stood over by Yachiru who was eating a cookie that happened to come out of no where.

I went and took my place next to Rangiku to which a smile and turned to the front waiting for Nanao to continue. "We need to gain more money for the association and need new ideas" I had to think for what could be done to get access to more money. They had done a calendar before but that didn't go so well with the women sneaking up on the men, which I found funny.

Wait a minute?

I raised my hand "Yes Michiko. You have an idea" Nanao replied.

"Yes I'm thinking of another calendar would work" Everyone started conversing and Nanao pushed her glasses up her nose. "We tried that and things didn't go the way we planned" the whole room nodded to Nanao's words.

"Yes but this is a different calendar. I doesn't include sneaking up on anyone" Nanao's face crinkled to her confusion so I thought I should elaborate. "Well instead of getting pictures of the men, we should do a women's calendar" The whole room erupted with abrupt noise to my idea.

"Oh I get it Michiko. You want us to pose in the calendar and sell it" Rangiku said next to me. Everyone stopped and looked towards us, I smiled to my friend thanking her she knew what I was getting at. "Yup that's right! Have you any idea how many men are in the Seireitei? Lots and if they buy this calendar then there would be more profits for us" I smirked to my genius.

Nanao thought for a moment before she answered to me "Well that's true that there are far more men than women but would it work?"

"Of course it would work Nanao. Have you seen us lately. I'm sure that it would be sold out in minutes. Plus with our recent members it's a given" Rangiku stood up for everyone to look at her. I blushed to that she would think just because me, Raven and Mikaze joined that it was a shoe-in that the calendar was going to bring in SWA major money.

"Well it's the only idea we have so far and after some thought it's not that bad of an idea" Rangiku clapper her hands in excitement "Of course it's a good idea my friend Michiko came up with it" she winked at me and I returned her a smirk.

"Yay for Chiki!" Yachiru jumped on her chair with a face full of crumbs from the cookie she just ate and then pulled out another one. Where the heck does she get them from?

"Ok then that's settled we will do another calendar, but who would like to pose for it?" Everyone looked at each other in pure silence not sure if they wanted to pose on the calendar so everybody the whole Seireitei could stare at them, including the guys. Hey even I wasn't sure if I could do it, people staring at me at that kind of way. Why did I come up with this idea?

The whole room was quite for a few minutes.

A/N: Wow what will happen now? Who should pose for the calendar? Please let me know who you think, hehe.

I hope you like the back-story for Michiko I know it's not amazing and tear worthy but I like it. Please let me know what you think in a Review!
