~~~~One Day Later/Nagi's P.O.V.~~~~

It's a beautiful morning in the Seireitei. Perfect for playing with Kazz. I was bored, and Kazz was going to pay for it.

Walking the halls of squad one, I come upon the door to Kazz's office.

"Oh, little brother~!"

With little to no warning, I kick open his door. As it slams open, I just stroll inside.

"Kazz~, I'm bored! Play with me! ...Hmm?"

I turn my head in both directions. Kazz wasn't here.

"Well, damn. So much for that."

"T-Third Seat Yamamoto?"

Turning around I find a squadmate, with a large stack of papers in his hands, walking in.

"Yo. Is that for Kazz?"

"Yes, miss." he answers, walking pass me.

Placing the work on his desk, he faces me once more.

"Do you happen to know where my little brother is anyway?"

"He should be heading to the captains' meeting the head captain called for a few minutes ago."

"I see. Thanks."

Turning around, I begin heading over to the building where grandpa usually kept his meetings. With a grin on my face, I might add.

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

Cool, looks like the meeting is about to get started.

Successfully sneaking in, I sit up in the rafters and hide my spiritual pressure so I wouldn't be detected. After everyone settles, Grandpa, with Kazz by his side, begins the meeting.

"As you all know, former squad five captain, Sosuke Aizen, former squad three captain, Gin Ichimaru and former squad nine captain, Kaname Tosen's whereabouts are still unknown.

Fortunately, according to the report from the Department of Research and Development, the Hogyoku in Aizen's possession requires much preparation and a good amount of time to utilize it.

Therefore, in my judgment, it will be quite awhile before it can be misused. However, those three still pose a great threat to the Soul Society and to the World of the Living. I have therefore organized an Investigation Force, and mobilized them. That is all for today."

Wow, that was quick...and boring. I guess I should get going-

Slipping from my spot, I begin falling.

Sh*t!

"You are dis-"

"Ahhh!"

Crashing to the ground, I land in front of everyone. I rub my head as I sit up.

"Ow~."

"Nagi!" Kazz yells at me. "You're spying on a captain's meeting?!"

I send a smile towards my family, who looked a bit angry.

"Well, I wouldn't be spying if grandpa would just make me captain already. I'll take either squad three, five, or nine."

"You've lost it if you ever think you could become captain."

My little bro's glare was ice cold, kind of like Emiko's. But least deadlier.

"Hey, at one point, I was in your position, Kazz."

"Yeah, but did you complete it?"

"I don't know. A captain trains for about ten plus years for Bankai. Have you learned that?"

"...I hate you."

"Enough. You and I will be discussing your punishment after we return back to squad one." grandfather informs me.

"What~? That's not fair~."

"Everyone is dismissed."

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

"Why does grandpa hate me so much?" I sigh.

"He doesn't hate you." Shunsui replies. "It's just tough love."

"Tough love?! I have to clean my entire barracks by sundown today." I complain.

It's about an hour after the captains' meeting. After receiving my punishment, I went to hang out with Shunsui and Jushiro. The three of us are currently resting on some tall building, overlooking the peaceful Seireitei.

"Well, you know not to spy on a meeting." Jushiro comments.

"If I was a captain, there would be no problem. Damn. I want to be captain so bad~."

Smiling, Shunsui addresses me.

"Being a captain is no walk in the park, kid. It's a lot harder than it looks."

"I know that. I've been through training, remember? Plus, I've watch my grandfather over the years too. It's extremely hard. But I still want the position. I want to do my part in keeping the peace in Soul Society."

"...I think you're doing your part just fine now, Nagi."

"That's what you think, Jushiro. Anyway, so they organized an Investigation Force?"

"Well," Shunsui begins. "he calls them an Investigation Force, but they're just assassins, right? Aizen's in big trouble... But I guess he asked for it."

"Yeah..."

"By the way, Renji has been assigned to the town where Ichigo and Emiko are living in."

My eyes widen as I look my friend's way.

"Really, Shunsui? That's not fair! I want to be see Emi."

"Well, he's been keeping busy lately." Jushiro speaks up.

"Oh?"

"What?"

The white-haired captain eyes Shunsui. With a bit of a serious expression, he explains.

"It's just that I heard some disturbing rumors about that the other day."

"..."

"What are you on about?" I question him.

He simply smiles at me.

"Nothing too important, Nagi. You should get back to your squad now. If you don't start cleaning, you'll never make it by sundown."

"...Can't you two just talk to my grandpa for me and try to get me out of it?"

...

...

Huh?

Looking at both of my sides, I find my friends gone. Standing, I get pissed.

"AW, COME ON! HELP A BUDDY OUT!"
