"Marechiyo Omaeda, Second Division's lieutenant, is out of commission. We will need someone to replace him." said Captain Yamamoto.

"It's not like he made much of a difference anyways," muttered one of the captains.

"Let that idiot die," replied Soi Fon apathetically. "My division is better off without him."

"My, aren't you being a bit harsh?" asked Ukitake curiously.

"He might get lucky and die in some corner." snapped Soi Fon.

"Actually...." said Unohana, speaking up, "I have someone in my squad who I think this will be good."

"I don't need someone who you think 'is' good," said Soi Fon calmly, trying to show respect to her senior, though she really didn't want a replacement. "that idiot bungled everything."

"No....but the person who I have in mind...the experience will be good for him, and he will certainly become stronger in your division, Soi Fon-taichou. He will be a valuable asset once trained. After all, this is only until Omaeda recuperates."

The Head Captain nodded approvingly. "Who is the person from your squad that you want to nominate?"

"Wait, but isn't the Fourth Division too wimpy for the Second Squad?" butted in Zaraki. Captain Hitsugaya elbowed Kenpachi slightly, but Kenpachi didn't even glance at him. "I mean honestly, Squad Four is...." Zaraki was cut off by a cold smile from Unohana.

"Oh, but this person has worked with one of the people from the Research and Development Department. His mission was successful. Furthermore, he has assisted Kurosaki Ichigo and he is merely a temporary replacement."

"Very well. Who is it?"

No one was prepared. Certainly no one knew the name when Unohana said it, but it was the seat that shocked them all.

Unohana smiled sweetly, as all eyes landed on her.

"Seventh Seat Yamada Hanataro."

"A seventh seat?!"

But before anyone could raise more protests, an ominous cloud filled the room, particularly around Unohana.

"Does anyone have any objections to make?" she asked, still smiling, though her smile did not meet her flashing eyes.

Silence filled the room.

"Still scary as ever, I see..." mumbled Kyoraku.

"Did you say something?" asked Unohana sweetly. But her words seemed to chill the room.

"Nothing," said Kyoraku hurriedly.

"Excellent," smiled Unohana returning to a peaceful smile as if nothing had happened. "I shall inform him. Is the meeting adjourned, Captain Commander?"

"Yes." he replied steadily. "Unohana-taichou, I hope you know what you are doing."

"Don't worry," she smiled. "I do."
