Miyuki stood in the Vice-Captain's quarters, quite confused. The Vice-Captain's ebony hair was pulled into a high pony-tail, still long enough to reach the backs of her knees. Her bangs were pushed to the side, out of her baby blue eyes, matching the sash around her shoulders, holding her katana on her back. Her long black Soul Reaper robes attracted sunlight from the window across from her, causing it to be warmer than necessary.
"Ah, why did the Captain-Commander call a meeting for both Vice-Captains and Captains," the short Girl thought to herself.
There was a crash and the window Miyuki was standing next to shattered as a certain crimson haired, jade-eyed, Vice-Captain came flying through the window.
"R-Ryuuji!" Miyuki spluttered. "I was standing right there! You could've killed me!"
"A-ah, sorry Miyuki," The sixth division vice captain rubbed the back of his neck and grinned apologetically. "Oh, I haven't seen you in a while! Hm? You look like you're still 4'4"...have you really not grown? My, you must be the shortest Soul Reaper in the entire Thirteen Protection Squ-"
"Oh, put a sock in it! I may not be very tall but I can still beat your butt! And besides, what's your problem? Crashing through windows?"
"Ah, Miyuki," Ryuuji put his elbow on her head. "You never change do you?"
"Mou, what's that supposed to mean?"
"Never mind."
Miyuki thought for a moment, "I don't suppose you've seen Captain Eita, have you?"
"You mean your division Captain?"
"No, I mean the elephant captain. Of course I mean the fifth division captain!"
"How long has it been since you've seen him?" Kensei, had just entered the Vice-Captain's Quarters. His blonde hair was covering his left eye leaving his blue right eye visible.
"Oh, hi, Kensei!" Miyuki smiled.
"Yo," Ryuuji greeted.
"Uh...I think half an hour," Miyuki answered.
"Half an hour? Miyuki, don't you think that's a bit protective?" Ryuuji asked.
"Not true! For all we know, Captain Eita could be waiting for me to rescue him as we speak!"
"Hey!" Tachibana scrambled into the Vice Captain's chamber. The big breasted woman immediately embrace the much smaller girl. Tachibana's wavy honey colored hair flowed down her back. "Ah, Miyuki! Don't ever go on a mission again! Toff and Jinta are too boring!!"
"C-can't breathe......." Miyuki spluttered feeling quite uncomfortable.
"TACHIBANA!" All eyes turned to the short snow-white haired captain. Standard soul reaper robes fitted him, but the captain wore a white haori and a green sash matching Miyuki's around his shoulders holding his Katana in place. The Captain's teal eyes were menacing.
"C-Captain Mamoru! Good Morning, sir!" Kensei and Ryuuji immediately greeted the white haired prodigy.
"Captain?" Tachibana greeted her young Captain.
"Lil' Whitey!" Miyuki happily greeted.
"Don't call me 'Lil' Whitey,' I'm taller than you!" Mamoru snorted, eyebrow twitching.
"Just barely!" Miyuki snapped. "I'm four foot four, you're four foot fiv-"
"Six! I'm four foot six! A.K.A, taller than you!"
"Oh, shut your trap! I'm still older than you!"
"Fine, you're an old hag then!"
"GO BALD!"
"You're just jealous of my white hair, Bed-Wetter!"
"I do not wet the bed!"
"Wanna go ask Granny?!"

Ryuuji, Kensei and Tachibana watched the two childhood friends argue.
"Aren't they a bit-" Ryuuji began.
"-childish?" Kensei finished.
"Hn? Of course they are childish!" Tachibana exclaimed. "They grew up together!"
"But Captain Mamoru is always so cold, he's really acting different..." Kensei murmured.
"OF COURSE HE IS!" Tachibana exclaimed. The trio glanced back at the two. Miyuki pulling on Mamoru's cheeks.
"Quit it, Bed-Wetter!"
"Mou, go bald!"
"Eheheh.." Ryuuji laughed awkwardly.
"Anyway, he lets his guard down because he's totally in love! Even workaholics fall in love! Ohohohoho!" Tachibana gushed. "Miyuki loves him, too, as you can see!"
Apparently, the Vice-Captain had gushed too loudly, because the two short soul reapers stood side by side, arms crossed across their chests, and all amusement drained from their eyes, "Say somethin'?" Miyuki inquired.
"Oh, God, the Palmtop Tigers are gonna kill us!" Ryuuji stage whispered to Kensei.
"Shut up!" Kensei snapped back, but of course the white haired prodigy heard the crimson haired Vice-Captain's comment.
"PALMTOP TIGERS?" The Captain asked, voice menacingly calm.
"WHO is a palmtop tiger?" The black haired soul reaper, asked.

And so, the three Vice Captians cowered at the feet of the "Palmtop Tigers," both emitting deadly auras.
Which is not a very
healthy situation for anyone.
