"This is your office!?"Eve looks around Shunsui's new Captain's office. He watched as she marveled at everything, he had just been appointed Captain of the 8th squad, along with his friend Jushiro, though he was Captain of squad 13. Both men felt proud of their new appointed titles, even if Shunsui acted like it was not a big deal. But with Eve, now blossomed into a woman, a beauty at that. She was blessed with a slim endowed frame, for someone of her size. Her hair she kept always in a bun held with chopsticks and a flower ring. With bangs on that framed her face, dressed in a elegant yellow kimono with pink birds designed on still had to wear her cloak still. To hide her wings. Shunsui sits back smiling as he watches her explore and admire his office. He always found it interesting how she found delight in simple things, which amazed him but also puzzled him. It was hard to believe that many years ago he meet her as a child and now the two of the grew up together becoming the best of friends. He was glad he was able to keep her safe so long, only his friend Jushiro knew of her and kept it a secret.

"Are you going to decorate?"Eve asks Shunsui snapping the newly appointed captain on his reminiscing, he looks at her. She rolls her eyes and repeats her question. To him. He looks around his office, shrugging his shoulders.

"That is a bit to much work."Shunsui tells her.

"Fine then, I'll decorate for you."she tells him."I have some really wonderful ideas..."Eve goes off speaking what she was going to do. Shunsui chuckles to himself.

"Seems Eve is in one of her moods."Jushiro comes in, Shunsui looks at his friend who smiles at him then looks over at the Eve who was now caught up in the idea of fixing up his office, that she did not notice him standing by Shunsui.

"She's more excited than me."Shunsui tells him, gesturing his hand in Eve's direction.

"Yes, I can see that."Jushiro chuckles at this. The two captains laugh hearty at Eve's enthusiasm. Shunsui looks at her with a warm affectionate smile, Jushiro saw the way his friend look awing to her, he couldn't help but smile to himself.


"How did you find her?"Rangiku asks Renji as she wrings out a cloth and pats Mila's head, she looks at the dark-skinned Arrancar woman, as she laid there unmoving, but she was still alive.

"Remember that anomaly that happen a few weeks ago."Renji tells her, Ranguki nods her head."Well, I was sent out with Momo to see, we dispatched a team. While we here over in the Southern district we stumble upon her. She looked a bit beat up. I was going to alert the captain but Momo, was against it. She said we needed to help her. There had to be some reason why she was here in the Soul Society."

"That's Momo, for you."Ranguki smirks at the hearing what the tender lieutenant did. Even if Mila Rose and her other companions did battle them, and there had been peace between both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. Yet some still found tension between the two. Momo always had a way of seeing pass that.

"I know..."Renji tells her annoyed, she could tell he was because he was now caught up in this mess knowing well enough the Squad he came from that is known for upholding the law and be an example, though it was slowly changing. It was the fact he was now dragged into this. But Renji was a loyal friend, a quality that was very admirable . She smiles at him. He huffs. Throwing his hands up.

"So that's why you've been gathering medical supplies... you both have been tending to her. And she's been knocked out since then?"Ranguki asks.

"Well, actually, we found her a week after...but yeah that's why."he tells her.

"How sweet."Ranguki tells him, making the scarlet hair blush. She looks back at Mila."..."

"...Eve..."Mila mumbles, but both lieutenants heard her."...Eve...I'm sorry..."

"Eve...who the heck is that?"Renji asks giving the unconscious Arrancar a look.

"I don't know...but something tells me, that this Eve person must be important to her. For her to come all the way over here."Ranguki looks at Mila. As she said the name again, this time moving a bit.

"..."Renji looks at her. When she shoots up, screaming for Eve. Startling the two of them.

"..."Mila snaps out of it, seeing her hand reaching out to nothng. Slowly she brings it back looking at it sadly. Renji and Ranguki didn't know what to do. Regaining herself, Mila looks around wit her green emerald eyes, scanning the room, that is until her eyes landed on both of the Shimigamis. Her eyes become defensive as she gives them a threatening look with a scowl look. She reaches for her blade only to not find it."Where is my blade!"she demands.

"...Well, that's one way to say thank you for those who have helped you recover."Ranguki fuses at her rudeness.

"...Whatever..."Mila tells her not carrying looking around."..."

"So, who's Eve?"Renji bluntly asks. Which looks at him shocked that he knew the name.

"How do you know? Her name?"she demands from him.

"You where calling out to her...just before you woke up."He flatly tells.

Mila shuts her mouth tightly."It's none of your concern. All I know is...that I felt her energy here. So I came to see."he tells him, though say something that only Ranguki heard. Which made the blonde hair look at her with some sympathy.

"Well, you're wasting your time, th-"Ranguki shuts up Renji before he said something insensitive to the woman.

"What he means it that...maybe you would like some help finding this Eve person."she tells her, Mila looks at her then him.

"Why?"she asks them.

"Well wouldn't you like some help? If you think about it...you are in a place and if others find you here, well we don't want another war."she tells her. Seeing she was right, Mila nods her head in agreement."Great."

"Good...then I know who we can start with."Mila tells them with a hint of anger in her voice.


Over with Shunsui, he was in his office looking at picture that had in his desk. It was of Eve, with her radiant smile on, dressed in a teal kimono, with her hand on slight swallow belly. Though he smile softly, his face twisted into pain.
