New Captain of Squad 9

It was a sunny afternoon in the Soul Society and everything by the standards of that fact were normal. But an odd sight to behold even during this time would be to see a nine foot dog-man running down the street, pushing his arms up and down his coat flying behind him.

Sajin ran and came to a screeching halt when he came to the tenth division. Then he quickly pounded on the door and waited for a reply.

"Come in." he heard on the other side, and he did so.

"Toshiro." Said Sajin as he quickly came into the door." I need-"

"Wipe your feet please." Said Toshiro. Sajin politely did as he was asked and dragged his feet across the mat frantically before continuing.

"Toshiro." He continued after he did so." I need your help. I-"

"Hi Sajin." Called Rangiku in the other room as she put a hand up to wave at him.

"Good afternoon Lieutenant." Sajin said turning to her and then turning back to Toshiro." Now I really need your help I-" But as he spoke Toshiro leaned in and sniffed him.

"Have you showered today?" he asked next covering his nose." You smell terrible."

"I was running around all the Soul Society." Replied Sajin quickly." Which is why I'm here actually, I need you to help me with something."

"With what?" asked Toshiro.

"Well Head Captain Yamamoto asked if I knew anyone worthy of being a Captain." Told Sajin.

"And." Pressed Toshiro.

"I told him Shuhei Hisagi would be a good bet." Told Sajin. In the other room Rangiku perked up at hearing the name of her friend.

"Hisagi?" asked Toshiro confused." The ninth squad lieutenant?" Sajin nodded." Well good luck with that." Then Toshiro turned and began to walk away.

"Why?" asked Sajin causing Toshiro to stop." You don't think he'd be a good captain?"

"I don't think he'd be bad." Replied Toshiro." I just don't think he'd be that good."

"He's done well at keeping the ninth squad together all by himself." Said Sajin. Toshiro waved his hand in the air dismissing his retort.

"Well I think it would be a great idea." Said Rangiku as she walked into the room.

"Have you been listening to our conversation?" asked Toshiro.

"Maybe but that's not the point." Said Rangiku as she moved over to the two Captains.

"This is a highly confidential conversation between Captains." Said Toshiro as she did so." You have no-" But then Rangiku leaned down and covered his mouth.

"Oh hush." She said looking down at Toshiro who grimaced and made a muffled reply." But I think it's really kind of you to do that Captain Kommumura."

"Thank you Lieutenant." Said Sajin with a nod of his head.

"And you." Said Rangiku turning back to Toshiro." Are going to vote with Sajin on this matter."

"What?" asked Toshiro upon freeing his mouth." No."

"You must." Said Rangiku." It takes three recommendations from present Captains to become one."

"I don't care." Said Toshiro swatting Rangiku's hand away from him." I don't want to get wrapped up in all this."

"But Captain." Whined Rangiku." Shuhei is a friend and he really deserves it." Then she widened her eyes and pouted at her Captain. Toshiro rolled his eyes and looked to Sajin who nodded at him.

"Ok, Ok." Said Toshiro finally gave in.

"Thank you Captain!" yelled Rangiku as she grabbed him and hugged him tight.

"Get off me!" ordered Toshiro as he swatted her off him. Then he turned to Sajin." I make two, now who's' going to be the third?"

"Squad Two has a lot of dealings with Squad nine." Told Sajin." Surely if we bring this up to Soifon she will listen."

"Fine." Said Toshiro with a sigh." Let's go get this over with." Then he and Sajin headed out the door and to the Squad two barracks.

"Good luck." Shouted Rangiku as she waved them goodbye.

"Can she really get you to do stuff just by pouting?" asked Sajin as they exited the squad ten barracks.

"No I just gave in there because next she just would have started bitching." Told Toshiro.

"Oh." nodded Sajin.

In no time at all the two made it to the Squad two barracks. The presents of the two was quickly noticed as they walked through the Squad two barracks. Eventually they came to the Captain's Office and stood before the two big doors.

"Alright." Said Toshiro looking up at Sajin." Moment of Truth." Sajin nodded and extended his hand to knock on the door. Then just as he was about to do so the door flung open and there stood Soifon.

"What the Hell do you want!" she yelled. Sajin and Toshiro stood by shocked and looked at each other."Well?!" she pressed.

"Soifon." Said Sajin." We've come to-"

"Not interested!" She yelled."Goodbye!" Then she shut the door on them. Sajin walked up again and opened the door this time. As she and Toshiro peaked their heads inside they saw Soifon returning to her desk.

Then the two slowly ventured in.

"Soifon." Announced Sajin from across the room.

"What do you want?" asked Soifon turning to them." I already told you I'm not interested." Then she walked over and sat in her chair. But Sajin was persistent and walked over to her, Toshiro right behind him.

"Soifon." Said Sajin as they did so."We've come to talk to you about Shuhei Hisagi."

"Who?" asked Soifon looking up and over from her desk at them.

"The lieutenant of squad nine." Said Toshiro." You're squad has dealings with him yes?"

Soifon put her finger to her chin and thought. She had recalled Shuhei coming over a few days ago to drop something off.

With a box tucked under his right arm He stood before the door and knocked.

"WHAT!" yelled Soifon as she immediately pulled the door open.

"C-Captain Soifon." Said Shuhei shocked." I've come to drop these off from squad nine." Soifon looked him up and down quickly.

"Alright." Said Soifon in her usual gruff tone as she stepped aside allowing him in." Put in on top of the file cabinet." Shuhei entered and once he past her Soifon quickly looked him over with an intense stare from behind.

"Right over here?" asked Shuhei as he stood next to the cabinet.

"Yes." Said Soifon. Shuhei turned and did as he was told. Soifon looked him over once again and then jumped onto her desk spreading her legs proactively.

"Alright." Said Shuhei after completing his task." That should do it."

Just then Soifon reached her hand over to a sheet of paper on her desk, then she slid if off and onto the floor in front of her.

"Oops." She said bringing a hand to her face. Shuhei turned to her."Could you get that for me?" she asked sticking her index finger in her mouth. The lieutenant did as he was told, bending down to get the paper right in front of Soifon once again allowing her to look him over. Shuhei stood up and turned to her handing her the paper.

"Here you are ma'am." He said handing it to her.

"Oh thank you." She said grabbing onto it, but not taking it from his hand. The two stood like that for a few moments as Soifon looked up at him proactively as he looked to her nervously.

"G-Good day ma'am." Said Shuhei as he turned and left.

"Bring your fat ass back her." Said Soifon as he did so.

Soifon was brought out of her fantasy as Sajin and Toshiro looked at her confused.

"Soifon." Said Sajin. She still sat there dazed. Toshiro leaned up and snapped his fingers breaking her from her fantasy.

"What, what!" she said coming back to life.

"Will you vouch for Shuehi Hisagi to become ninth squad captain?" asked Sajin.

"Shuhei Hisagi?" asked Soifon bringing her finger to her chin and tapping it, thinking of how he'd look in a captain's uniform."Yes yes I will."

"Alright." Said Sajin turning to Toshiro."And that makes three."

Then with that the three Captains went and stood before the Head-Captain and proposed their idea. They knew the Head-Captain thought highly of them and thought this would be a walk in the par, but would be surprised with the Head-Captains answer.

"No." he said.

"No?" asked Sajin confused with a twitch of his ears." What do you mean no?" He stopped briefly before adding 'sir' at the end for he was too confused to remember. Toshiro and Sofion smiled slightly while Sajin bickered with the Head-Captain. They high-fived behind Sajin's back, even locked arms and began dancing around in a circle.

"Lieutenant Hisagi does not have Bankai." Told the Head-Captain.

"But the rules state Head-Captain." Answered Sajin." That there are three ways to becoming a Captain, and we have three Captains here to vouch for the Lieutenant."

"That is true." Said the Head-Captain." Three recommendations from three Captains as I can see before me now. However in order to create more efficiency I'm requesting that the Lieutenant learn Bankai before he we see if he is worthy of Captain material." Sajin darted his head to the ground for a moment. Toshiro saw this and saw this as his best time to act.

"So." Spoke up Toshiro." All he needs is Bankai and that's it."

"Yes." Replied the Head-Captain with a nod.

"Well." Said Toshiro as he rolled his eyes around the room, knowing he'd regret the next words to come out of his mouth. But Sajin was very passionate about this and Toshiro was never one to turn down his friends. Then he turned to Soifon and Sajin." We'd best get to work, let's go." Then he turned and walked between the two and out the doors.
