Captains meeting (For all Captains) [1st]

[twilightsshadow]

Yamamoto stood outside the 1st squad barracks. His beard having been done and his nap over with. It was time for a captains meeting to discuss the current state of the Thirteen court guard squads. This assembly was mandatory for the captains, it was a time to discuss the strength of Soul society.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harugin awoke from his slumber, the sun shining into his eyes from the top room. No one had bothered to disturb him this morning cause they knew full well he would awake on his own today. General Yamamoto had called a captains meeting, and Harugin never missed one.

"Time to go."

He said wearily with a yawn, dressing himself. He left all his candy behind, knowing the old man hated it when he brought it with him. He left the 2nd squad barracks, Zanpakuto in tow and heading for the meeting hall.

Matsuki groaned as she rolled over. The nightmares that seemed to plague her had made her night a rough one. She blinked a few times trying to clear them and then pushed herself into a sitting position. Today there was a captains meeting and she was not about to miss it. With a deep breath she got to her feet and changed into her robes. As she was pulling her black hair back from her face she heard the soft voice of her zanpaktou speaking to her. "It's going to be alright, Suki." The unicorn soothed as a sigh escaped the 3rd squad captain. "I hope so, Shizu." She stated before grabbing the sword and heading toward her destination.

Amami woke with a groan. She hated captain meetings; she would just have to say bye to the sleep she'd miss. Yamamoto had ordered a meeting and there was no way that Amami was going to miss it. She new all to well that Soul Society was watching close...extremely close. They were watching even closer especially since the guy that betrayed Soul Society was the former Captain of her Division....Azien.

Just get your lazy ass down to the 1st divison's barracks and get to that meeting. Amaterasu yelled in her ear.

Amami groaned inwardly as she set her black hair in a bun. Amami was starting to get angry real angry. Having to wake up early does have that affect on a person...especially with an annoying black wolf who doesn't know when to shut up.

"Today is going to be a bad day. A very day." She thought as she grabbed Amaterasu and left heading toward the 1st division's barracks.

General Yamamoto had dozed off in the sunlight. The peace and calm of soul society coupled with the fact that he had to wake up early to make preperations. He awoke with a light start, staring up into the sky as a cool breeze blew through his beard. This peace was superficail... The calm before the storm. Aizen would attempt to strike again, and Soul society had to be ready for him. He went into the inner chambers of the first squad, awaiting the captains to show up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harugin sat utop a roof, sucking on a small lollipop from his candy stash. Since today he was attending a captains meeting, he actually had his squad 2 haori on, the jacket having a hood that currently was left down. He knew that The old man hated it when he had his hood up.

"Tch... I wonder who will all make it too this meeting."

He said to himself as he took the lollipop out of his mouth. A cool wind blew threw his hair, revealing his yellow eyes. He hopped off the roof, heading to the first squad barracks. He arrived there shortly after, the guards bowing and welcoming him as he entered the meeting hall. Yamamoto greeted him, opening a single eye to look at him.

"Early again Captain Akegata."

Yamamoto said to Harugin. Haru always showed up early to the meetings. Head Captain Yamamoto was the one person Haru respected more then anyone else, and one of only two captains he actually trusted. Harugin had already finishes his lollipop, another thing the head captain hated was when he had candy at the meetings. He took his spot in line, and waited for the rest of the captains to show up.

Matsuki was the next to arrive. Her normal drunken appearance was gone and in it's place stood a rather serious personality. "Good morning Captain Yamamoto, Captain Akegata." She stated bowing her head to each as their name was said. Once she had greeted them she went to stand next to Harugin and waited paitently along with them. As she stood her mind wandered. She wished she could go and visit the human world today, but the way her schedual looked it seemed that that want wouldn't be honored today. She opened her mouth in a silent sigh and then returned to her waiting.

Amami came in after Matsuki. Her hair was up neatly in its usual bun and her harori adorned her shinigami outfit underneath. She bowed to Yamamoto

"Good Morning Captain Yamamoto, Akegata, Shirako." She stated as she bowed respectfully to the other two captains. She then took her place next to Matsuki leaving space for the 4th division's Captain.

So much for getting sleep today. Whatever Yamamoto wants us to do I just hope it doesn't take forever. She thought as she waited for the other division captains to make their appearance.

[twilightsshadow]

Yamamoto watched as two other squad captains came to greet him. This was probebly the best attendance he was going to get for now. He would start the meeting soon, but first, the guest of honor needed to arrive. He stroked his beard casually as Matsuki entered and greeted him.

"Good morning Captain Matsuki... I trust your not drunk."

He said in a casual tone. It wasn't often the head captain actually told jokes. He then looked at Amami. To him, she was a danger to soul society and as such, Harugin had been ordered to keep an eye on her and "Silence" Her should she betray soul society.

"Morning Captain."

He said casually to her with a single eye opened. Soon however, he saw the guest of Honor arrived and he bowed to his old friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harugin hated wearing his Haori. It made everyone too polite and formal around him. Sure, he was a captain, but he didn't like having everyone around him use honnorifics. He watched as Matsuki entered and he eyed her closely. He knew that she wouldn't show up drunk to a captains meeting, or at least he figured he knew she wouldn't. He was relieved to see that she was being serious and was not drunk. With that, the only two captains Harugin trusted were now in attendance.

"Glad to see your not a complete wreck this morning like you normally are!"

Harugin called, clapping along with his sarcasm. Yes, the two of them often joked around. Second to enter, was Amami, the one captain that nobody trusted. Harugin's smile faded and he simply eyed her, although since his white hair was covering his eyes at the moment she couldn't see him staring at her. However, once the last person entered his eyes shot up open fully. It was none other then Tsukino Himura, his soon to be mother in law.

"Captain? Captain?!?"
"She's not waking up, is she?"
"Aww, geez...just what I'd expect from a newbie..."
"Shush! She may hear you!"
"I don't think she can hear anything really..."
"You don't think she's..."
"No! She's breathing...I think...Captain!!"

The captain of squad 9 was very much awake actually, just not in a responsive state of mind. In fact, she was in another world in her mind, her Inner World. Kohana Suzuki was sitting in a small, sun-dappled meadow in the middle of a dense forest. A slight breeze blew from a distance and carried flower petals and their dizzying aroma's on it as it danced past her figure. Her breathing was deep and silent, she sat cross-legged in the meadow's center, her hands brushing the stems of the flowers. She was directly mirroring a specific flower, larger and more elaborate than all the others, native only to her Inner World. It was all the colors in the rainbow and had petals as large as Kohana's head, and in its center sat a most peculiar creature. A pixie, no larger than Kohana's hand, was sitting in the same position as the young woman in front of her. Her tiny face was passive, matching Kohana's, both were at ease with nature. This was the spirit of her zanpaku-to...Azarni...

"Captain!!"
"Did she just pass out on the grass...?"
"That's the fourth time this week!"
"She's gonna be late for yet another Captain's meeting...typical...someone kick her, that'll get her up!"
"No way! She could get angry!"
"Please, this tree-hugger? She doesn't know the emotion of angry... Captain! CAPTAIN!!!!"

Kohana winced as a sharp pain hit her rib. She opened her eyes to look around the meadow, but the meadow was gone. All that was left was numerous large black shapes and grass tickling her face,

"She's up...finally! See, I told you it would work."
"A bit unconventional, but you have a point, she is up."
"Captain...?"

She turned her face up to her squad members but immediatly burried her face back in the ground when the sun hit her eyes with its fiery rays. She looked back up through squinting eyes,

"Y-yes...?"

Kohana responded slowly, her head still clouded with the memory of wild flower perfume. She managed to get up into a sitting position, her squad towered over her.

"Captain Suzuki, you're awake! You have to get up now!"
"Why?"

She mumbled and rubbed her eyes. I must have dozed off in the garden again... Kohana thought to herself, she turned and smiled at her fresh little garden.

"Captain! You must go, you are late!"
"Late for what?"
"The Captain's meeting started five minutes ago!!!"

Her squad said in unison. It took a moment for the message to get in. Slowly her eyes widened and she made a small curse under her breath. Kohana stood up in a rush and startled her squad back a few paces.

"Guess I better go, huh! So, bye I guess...I'll be back when it's over!"

She yelled over her shoulder as she ran in the direction of the first squad barracks. Of course, she didn't take the ten-foot wall in front of her into consideration. SLAM! Kohana's forhead collided with the stone wall, she yelped in pain and gripped the bump now forming there with one of her hands. The other hand she used to wave away her squad, who were now rushing to her aid,

"Captain!"
"Captain are you alright?!"
"...Typical..."
"She may have a concussion!!"
"I'm fine..."

She said her voice as strained as the smile on her face, her head pounded like steel drums.

"I'll just...you know, be on my...ugh...way..."

Kohana waved one last goodbye and was off in a flash step to the squad one barracks, to the Captain's Meeting...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I could have sworn I was just here...oh no...I'm going around in circles!"

Kohana sighed and rubbed her throbbing head, the newly formed bump was now the size of a small rice ball and as red as strawberries. She stood in mid air over squad ten's barracks looking around to see where squad one's were...

"If I just came from the north then I should have gone south...or was that southeast...I really can't afford to be late...well more late than I already am..."

She mumbled to herself. Her eyes scanned the area, Squad Eight, Squads Seven and Six, Five, Four, Three...there's Two...ONE!!! Found you! Who knew all I had to do was look around for a moment... The gates of the squad one barracks could be seen in the distance, Kohana headed in its general direction...


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I'm here...sorry I'm late..."

Kohana murmured in her usual soft voice as the guards opened the doors to let her in. Most of the Captains were already present and waiting. She walked silently to the center of the room, bowed to each Captain to show respect, then made her way to the Captain position of squad nine. Kohana busied herself with brushing her brown bangs out of her eyes and adjusting her zanpaku-to at her hip to avoid the eyes of any dissaproving, experienced captains. Oh, great! Just my luck! I run itno a wall, get lost, then make a fool of myself in front of the entire Thirteen Court Guard Squad! Oh, well...I'll just...act casual...yeah...oh, boy...
