-1Fipp: I have no real plot for this, just various drabbles and such relating to the new members. Request are welcome you know.

The captain-commander stood in his place of the Captain's Meeting Room of the First Division, and his vice-captain, Sasakibe Chojiro, stood to his left.

After the retirement of the previous captain-commander, his replacement had decided that during the weekly captain's meeting, to include each division's vice-captains as well. The reason for this was to prevent squads who's captains were unable to attend would be kept up-to-date. He had come up with this idea when he thought about how chaotic squads 3, 5 and 9 were after the captains had defected, the 5th especially due to its vice-captain in a coma.

He looked around the room, seeing only a few captains and vice-captains.

Soifon and Omaeda Marechiyo of Squad 2 had arrived, the former standing silently, while her much larger vice-captain snacked on a box of rice crackers.

Kuchiki Byakuya stood by himself, his current vice-captain late.

Komamura Sanji and Tetsuzaemon Iba of Squad 7 stood in their spot, engaged in idle conversation.

Ise Nanao, the vice-captain of Squad 8, stood alone in her spot, reading the large book that she always carried with her.

And lastly Kurotsuchi Mayuri and his vice-captain Nemu stood in their spot, patiently waiting for the meeting to start.

The captain-commander then heard the sound of arguing outside the large door, they were forced open and inside stepped the captain and vice-captain of Squad 11.

"Why did you have to hit me so hard!" growled the bald vice captain, Madarame Ikkaku, as he rubbed the large bruise oh his head,

"That is what you get for questioning my sense of direction," replied the pink-haired captain, Kusajishi Yachiru.

After the death of Zaraki Kenpachi, Squad Eleven had been in a wreck, and was barely worked properly. They had managed to find a replacement for Zaraki, but that did not…work well. And eventually Yachiru had become captain, and promoted Ikkaku to vice-captain, and Ayasegawa Yumichika to rank of third seat.

"Perhaps you should have taken your time in getting here," Kurotsuchi Mayuri said. "It is not like your presence here makes much of a difference."

"What was that?" Yachiru asked the captain of the 12th. Much like her mentor, the rookie of the current captains held Mayuri in low disregard.

"You want to start something!" Ikkaku yelled, ready for battle.

"As if I would waste my time with such barbaric individuals." Mayuri waved them off, only angering their tempers.

"Could we please not have any sort of arguments?" said a voice from the door, causing Yachiru and Mayuri to turn to it.

Walking through the door were the captain and vice-captain of Squad 4, Neliel Tu Oderschvank and Inoue Orihime.

It had been at least a century since the Winter War, and since then several odd additions had been made to the Gotei 13: Humans and Arrancar.

Inoue had started in the 4th, and her healing abilities allowed her to quickly rise in rank, and effortlessly taking the position of vice-captain when Kotetsu Isane had been transferred to the Kido Corps.

Neliel had at first become the third seat of the 5th, though she had spent much of her time at the 4th, in either in her free time, or per orders from her captain. When Unohana Retsu retired, Neliel had taken her place, and had moved her brothers, Pesche Guatiche Dondochakka Bilstin, to the spot of third seat.

"Oh, hey Nel, Jiggles," Yachiru said, the tension between her and Mayuri instantly dissolving. "How've you guys been?"

"Not too bad," Nel said.

"We've been excellent Yachiru-chan," Inoue said happily. "How about you?"

Ikkaku sighed, he was really looking forward to a fight with the most tenured captain. He trudged back to his spot to get away from the girl talk.

The large doors opened again, this time showing in the representatives of Squads 3 and 9 walk in.

After the defections of Ichimaru and Tousen, their vice-captains, Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru, had managed well without a captain to lead their divisions. Throughout the years, through hard work and mastering their zanpaktous, they each had managed to learn Bankai, and dawned the captain's cloaks.

Sado Yasutora when he came to Soul Society, had originally been the third seat of Squad 8, under Kyoraku Shunsui. Shortly before Kyoraku retired, Sado had transferred to the 9th for the position of vice-captain. Much like other members of the 9th, Sado wore his uniform with no sleeves, and wore his vice-captains badge loosely around his neck, the reason for this was because it would rip off his arm when he would summon his armor into battle.

Ironically, the Quincy, Ishida Uryu, had also joined the Gotei 13, and later rose to the position of vice-captain for Squad 3. Though he worked with Shinigami, Ishida had told many that he only worked with them out of necessity, and nothing more, though several of his closer friend had suspected differently. The Quincy had done large amount of redesigning to his uniform, tailoring the sleeves and pants legs of his Shinigami clothes so that they were more formfitting, and he wore a long jinbaori, similarly to Sasakibe.

"Looks like there are still some people missing," Ishida said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Typical."

"Where do you think the others are?" Hisagi asked as he and Sado took to their spot.

Hisagi's question was partially answered when the doors burst open again, revealing the captain and vice-captain of Squad 10.

"Knew we wouldn't be late!" the captain said cheerfully.

"And late again," the captain-commander said to the captain. "Were you drinking again Matsumoto?"

"What!?" gasped the blonde-haired captain of Squad 10. "Of course not! I'm much more responsible then you give me credit for!"

"Mosqueda?" he asked.

"Hai sir," the former Privaron Espada, now Squad 10 vice-captain said.

Shortly after learning Bankai, Matsumoto had been promoted to captain. While she was happy at first for this, she instantly regretted this due to the paperwork that she, as captain, had to do.

Her vice-captain, Gantenbainne Mosqueda, at one point had been an Espada under the command of Aizen, but had switched sides to the Shinigami, as a sign of gratitude towards Sado for sparing his life during the raid on Las Noches long ago.

"We're still missing six people," Komamura said.

"Could we just get on with this already?" Mayuri said. "I have very important tasks to attend too."

"No," Byakuya said. "In order for the meeting to commence, all captains and vice-captains must be present."

"That still doesn't change that they are late," Soifon said.

"I wonder where they are?" Nanao asked, wonder where her current captain was. Then as if Fate itself was answering her, the door exploded open, and the three remaining captains tumbled in.

"I got here before you!" one of the captains jumped up and pointed at the two on the floor.

"What was that Kurosaki!" one of the other captains yelled.

"No way! I beat both of you!" the other captain yelled.

"What!?" Kurosaki Ichigo, captain of Squad 5 said. "Renji, Grimmjow, the two of you are idiots if you think that."

"Idiots!?" Abarai Renji, captain of Squad 8 yelled.

"I'm gonna kill ya Kurosaki!" yelled Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, captain of Squad 13.

Many years after the Winter War, Kurosaki Ichigo was able to become the captain of Squad 5, and brought Nel and her brothers into the third and fifth seat, before their promotions and transfers to the 4th.

Abarai Renji, despite the fact he had obtained Bankai, had not wished to become captain right away. After many years, when Kyoraku retired, Renji challenged Byakuya to another duel, and if he was the winner, he would try for captaincy. The match was impressive, leaving both combatants unable to stand in the end, though Byakuya fell several moments before Renji did.

Jeagerjaques Grimmjow, also a former Espada under Aizen, had at first joined under Squad 11, as its fourth seat, despite the fact he was on par with its then captain Kenpachi. After the retirement of Ukitake Jyuushiro, Grimmjow had chosen to take part in the captain's exam, and indeed passed.

"Like I'm gonna let my ass get handed to me by some overgrown house cat!" Ichigo yelled, causing Renji to laugh. "Same for you Baboon!"

"What!" Renji yelled.

The three of them made to attack each other, but where unable to act on this.

BAM!!!

The three captains fell to the ground, each one with a large bruise on their head.

"Can you three be bigger idiots then you already are?" said the vice-captain Kuchiki Rukia of Squad 13. "For god's sake, you're captains, act like ones!"

"I don't think you had to hit them that hard Rukia-san," said a meek voice from the hallway, moments later, Squad 5 vice-captain, Hinamori Momo walked in.

"I say you should have let them duke it out," said the mischievous voice of Squad 6 vice-captain, Aki(1) Senna.

Shortly after the Winter War, Byakuya, who had prevented the promotion of his younger sister, had allowed Ukitake to give Rukia a seat position he thought she deserved, and he did this, along with a vice-captain's badge. She, along with Hinamori and Ikkaku, were the only vice-captains capable of using Bankai.

The captain-commander wasn't entirely sure about how Senna came to be. It started one day where most of Soul Society had been affected by a headache, Ichigo's had been so intense that he had passed out in the middle of a captain's meeting, then several days later Senna appeared at the east gate. Mayuri had come up with an explanation, one that he himself did not fully understand, though he understood that the headaches were the memories of Senna, and everything related to her returning, and all he understood was that there were several repercussions to her revival, but Ichigo had managed to deal with them, and shortly later Senna became the vice-captain of the 6th.

"Are we getting into a fight?" Yachiru asked, forgetting about her conversation with Nel and Inoue. "Can I join?"

"Me too!" Ikkaku yelled out.

"Can we not get into a fight? We are not here for that," said Nel, ever the pacifist.

"Just let the savages fight amongst themselves," Mayuri said. "Why don't you join in?" he asked Komamura.

"What was that?" the large captain growled.

"Want to join in Byakushi?" Yachiru asked.

"I refuse to get involved in such a meaningless squabble," Byakuya replied coolly.

"You can be a real stick in the mud, huh taichou?" Senna asked.

It was at this moment that Grimmjow punched Ichigo in the stomach, causing a domino effect which soon sucked in every person in the room into a large argument.

The captain-commander could swear, sometimes he felt like he was in charge of a bunch of children!

"Shut up!" he yelled, releasing a surge or spiritual pressure, causing each captain and vice-captain to freeze in mid-sentence. "Now everyone, get into your spots, and let the meeting commence."

They all nodded, and trudged to their respective spots.

He sighed, how the hell did Yamamoto do this for two-thousand years?

000

The captain-commander walked down the halls of the 1st Division, tired from the meeting.

"You're lucky your hair's already white." He turned around to see Hinamori walking up to him. "Otherwise it'd be much more noticeable when your hair went prematurely white from the stress, huh Shiro-chan?"

"For the last time," said Hitsugaya, captain of Squad 1, and leader of the Gotei 13. "It's Hitsugaya-soutaichou."

(1) Aki means 'autumn' in Japanese. I thought it fit Senna well.
