Hello everybody, I'm back. I'm sorry that I didn't upload a second chapter last weekend, but as I said before, school takes priority.

Thanks to all that have favorite and followed. I'm sorry, but my former e-mail was deleted so I don't have your names right now, but don't worry, you'll get you're shout outs in the next chapter.

I own nothing except for my OC.

"…And that's it." Arthur had just finished telling the Lieutenants about his training with Soi-fon and was looking down at his drink with his cheeks slightly puffed out in annoyance. "I didn't even get to train with my zanpakuto today." This got him a look of shock from the party, excluding Isane.

"Wait, you have your zanpakuto already?" Arthur turned his head to meet the shocked gaze of Momo. Isane answered her before Arthur could even open his mouth, "Yes, he did it in his first session and was only unconscious for a day." Arthur couldn't help but blush at the praise and pride in her voice; the looks everyone was giving him didn't help either.

He suddenly got a look of curiosity on his face, "Wait, what you mean by "only" one day?" His question was answered by the spikey haired Lieutenant of the 9th Division, "Normally, a Shinigami is unconscious for at least three days from the depletion of their reiatsu."

Not really knowing how to reply, Arthur just put a hand behind his head and gave a sheepish smile.

Rangiku was the one who decide to break the ice, "So? C'mon and show us." This only resulted in Arthur giving her a confused look. "Your zanpakuto." Arthur's face got an "oh" look as he took it off his person and onto the table. Carefully unsheathing it, Arthur placed the blade in front of the curious party and awaited their reactions.

"The hilt looks pretty." Momo couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful designs. "So what did your Zanpakuto Spirit look like?" Arthur turned around to face the red-haired Lieutenant of the 6th Division, Renji Abarai.

All eyes immediately went to Arthur, everyone wanting to hear this. "Well, he was tall, like 7-7.5ft. He had a golden eye patch covering his left eye and really cool looking armor set all over his body. Oh yeah, he also had these really big wings coming from his back."(Again, look up Abaddon from the Darksiders game) "So your zanpakuto is basically an angel?" Arthur gave them all a giant grin as sheathed his blade, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Though there is something that I wanted to ask you all, you know, since you Lieutenants and all." Everyone got quiet as they took notice of his serious tone and the look on his face. Isane put her hand on top of his, "Of course, what is it?"

"When I was training with Captain Soi-fon, I could hear my Zanpakuto talking to me and giving me tips as I fought. Has that ever happened to any of you?" They slowly shook their heads and looked downwards. "My Zanpakuto only started to really talk with me and help when I achieved Shikai." All of them voiced their agreements and sent apologetic looks towards their new friend. "Oh well. I'll see if Captain Kyoraku can help tomorrow." Arthur gave a tired sigh and took a sip from his drink.

"What the hell? You all went out drinking and didn't invite me?" All eyes turned to the entrance as a very large (not in a good way) man walked in. He was wearing black Shinigami robes with a purple type cloth around the collar.

Arthur leaned and whispered to Isane, "Who the hell is Bubbles over there?" Isane and the others had to stifle their chuckles as they heard his question. Once calming down, Isane whispered back to him, "That's Omaeda Marechiyo, the Lieutenant for the 2nd Division."

Arthur spit out his drink when he heard this, the liquid going all over Renji. "Hehe, sorry about that." Omaeda was now at their table and drinking some from a sake bottle that he had just grabbed from behind the counter.

"Hey pal, you gotta pay for that." The fat Shinigami stopped his drinking to look at the smaller figure before him. "No I don't. I'm a Lieutenant and no little no name punk is going to tell me what I have to do." Omaeda went and took a swing at the silver-haired teen, only for it to be caught by said boy. "Man, you call that a punch?"

Arthur was holding the sloppily thrown punch in his hand. Even though he played it like it was nothing, his hand was shaking and the pain was definitely there. He may look like an idiot, but he still is a Lieutenant.

"Why don't we take this outside?" Arthur threw the fist away and calmly walked out the door, Omaeda and the Lieutenants following behind.

Isane drew up next to Arthur, trying to talk him out of it. "Arthur please don't do this, he may be a fat slob, but he is still a Lieutenant." Looking over at her, he gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry Isane-chan, he's just a bully. And I hate bullies." Behind his eyes, Isane could see a fire burning. She walked away with a sigh of defeat as both fighters drew their swords.

"You're gonna regret this kid." And with that, the Shinigami charged.

"Lean right and then feint an attack to his head." The Angel was once again helping his wielder, aiding him in his battle against a stronger foe.

Thanks. Arthur followed the instructions, and after the feint, sending a swing to his chest. Though the he was able to dodge, Omaeda still received a slash across his chest before charging in again in pure rage. How is this kid able to dodge my attacks? They continued to dance around each other, neither really landing any blows.

The other Lieutenants were all watching with wide eyes and slacked jaws. "H-he's only had one day of training, but he can already do all this?" Renji was the most surprised. He honestly thought that this new guy was only bragging and wouldn't have anything to show for it. But here he was, standing toe-to-toe with a Lieutenant, the weakest, but still.

A cry of rage and a massive rise in reiatsu brought everyone's attention to Omaeda, "You little shit! I'll show you why they made me Lieutenant." Taking a deep breath, his reiatsu rose as his zanpakuto began to shine, "Crush, Gegetsuburi!"

His katana transformed into a giant flail; its ball covered in large spikes. "Take this!"

"Lieutenant!"

The call fell on deaf ears as he performed a Shunpo, appearing before the shocked teen.

For a second, time seemed to stop. Arthur's zanpakuto glowed a bright white, and seemed to move on its own. Everything began to speed up again.

Clang! The glowing sword stopped and even cracked the large ball. Everyone went silent, their minds having trouble comprehending what they were witnessing. "RRRAAGGHH!" Arthur pushed with all his remaining strength, sending the Lieutenant flying down the road and into a wall.

"Arthur!" Isane ran and caught Arthur before he could fall to the ground. "T-told you I c-could take him." And with those words, he fell into the sweet bliss of unconsciousness.

"What was all that about!?" They all turned to see a very shocked, and very angry, Toshiro Hitsugaya.

"Captain, Arthur was just stopping that idiot Omaeda from stealing again." Rangiku spoke up, trying to defend her new friend. "Be that as it may, he still caused a lot of ruckus, and is to be brought in along, with the fat one." He turned over to Isane and made a following gesture, "Follow me." Without even giving her time to respond, he Shunpo-ed away.

Giving a tired sigh, Isane could do nothing but follow the Captain of the 10th Division.

And there we go. Chapter 5 is completed.
