A/N: Well, this is my first story ever. I hope you like it. It's about bleach! Byakuya OC. This first chapter just shows a little about Hitomi's personality and friends. Not really much, though. Also, this chapter may be a rated T for language only, I warned you. I'll try to update as fast as I can. Please review!
Disclaimer: I do not own bleach. Only Hitomi and her zanpaktou and other OC's you might come across.
Darkness and Light
Chapter 1- Promotion
Hitomi's POV:
I was heading to head Captain Yamamoto'sOffice turning in some paperwork for Captain Hitsuguya. I'm Squad ten's fourth seat, and this was part of my job, and since Rangiku practically never did her paperwork, I get to do it, though I don't mind.
As I walked down the halls, people greeted me, some bowing, saying "Hitomi-sama" or "Lady Hitomi". I just smiled and said hi. I entered his office saying hi to the guards.
"Hi Grandpa, I have some paperwork"
Yes, my grandpa was head Captain Yamamoto.
He was sitting at his desk with Chojiro Sasakibe, his lieutenant,standing by his side. Chojiro bowed.
"Lady Hitomi"
"I told you that you can just call me Hitomi"
"I don't think that's really proper"
"Alright, anyways, grandpa, here's some paperwork"
I set the paperwork on his desk, and he started to check it.
"Good work as always, as expected"
"Thanks"
"So how are you doing?"
"The usual, paperwork and missions, I have to go back to the office, I'll see you later"
"All right"
I flash stepped back to the front of Captain Hitsuguya's office. I opened the door and Captain Hitsuguya looked up.
"Did you turn it in?"
I sat on the couch and drank some tea.
"Yeah, where's Rangiku?"
I asked him. But he probably didn't know. He almost never did. He sighed.
"Probably drinking again"
"Ahh"
He then picked up a piece of paper and stared reading. Then, he looked at me. He shook his head.
"What"
"Well, there's this open third seat position"
My eyes widened.
"For what squad?"
"Squad 6 and lieutenant Abarai wants to request for you to take it. If you want to take it, you have to talk to your grandpa"
I smiled. Renji was my best friend. Me, Renji and Rukia were best friends ever since we met in the academy. They always used to visit me when grandpa trained me. But when we were assigned to separate divisions, we still found ways to hang out. We even met some other friends. We would sometimes spar along with some eleventh squad members, and help Captain Hitsuguya find Rangiku, help Isane with calming down the eleventh squad members. And when they start to decide to be perverts, I'd kick their ass and they would laugh.
"Hmm…."
Then, Captain Hitsuguya started to fidget a little.
"Are you going to take the promotion?"
He said a little curiously. I giggled; he was one of my closest friends, too. I got up.
"Aww, are you gonna miss me, Captain?"
"N-no! of course not!"
He said so defensively. He started to blush.
"Don't worry, Captain, if I did take that promotion, I would visit you more often" I then left for my room, planning what I would do. I was too lazy to walk, so I just flash stepped there.
I entered my room, quickly collapsing on my bed, kicking off my shoes that Soi Fon gave me. She and I used to be in squad 2, and Yoruichi used to train us in flash step, and we always sparred together.
I then looked at my reflection in the mirror, I have black hair with bangs, and clear blue eyes, a shihakusho skirt, a white oobi, a black ribbon tied around my neck and a necklace with pendants of a black and white wing. I started to think about than promotion offer.
"I'm happy withwhere I was now, but knowing grandpa, he would want me to take it, and I could hang out more with Renji, but then again, I'd have to do more work…" I thought out loud. I sighed.
"All right, I guess you can start tomorrow" I smiled.
"All right, thanks Grandpa"
"I'm very proud of you, Hitomi, you've worked yourself all the way up to third seat. Congratulations."
"Thanks"
And with that, I left, trying to ignore the sounds of tears of joy.
I flash stepped all the way to the 6th division, ready to tell him the good news. When I got to the door, I knocked.
"You may come in" a monotone voice said. I opened the door to see captain Kuchiki looking pissed at Renji, who was sleeping on his paperwork, lightly drooling.
I put my hands on my hips. Renjiwas never really a working type person. Sometimes I wonder how he became a lieutenant. Captain Kuchikihad the patience of a saint, but if his sister and I can put up with him, so can he.
"Need any help, Captain Kuchiki?"
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"Please do" I giggled. What would he do without me? I was like his instruction book on Renji.
"You see, when you want to wake him up, all you have to do is this"
I plucked a red hair off of his head. He shot up.
"OWW! What the hell!"
He started to rub his head. I laughed and captain kuchiki smiled a little.
"See, works like a charm" I showed him the red hair.
"Uhg, that hurts!"
"Renji, you fought of hollows, got hit by a bunch of huge eleventh squad members, and got a huge hole in your gut. But you're complaining about me puling a hair of your head" I rubbed the piece of hair all over his face.
"ehhhh,stop" he pushed my hand out of the way.
"What are you doing here, don't you have paperwork to do" he said rubbing his eyes.
"I finished, and I'm here to save your ass from getting a bad haircut" he looked confused. I looked at captain Kuchiki who was looking back at me. When he noticed what I was looking at, he quickly went back to doing paperwork.
I laughed.
Byakuya's POV:
Renji went back to doing his paperwork. Hitomi just laughed. I sighed.
"I heard that you're going to be my new third seat"
"that's right, so don't worry, I'm a hard worker. Ask every captain"
I closed my eyes. "I'll keep that in mind"
I knew that I wasn't going to have a problem with her. She was the Head Captain's granddaughter, so I should expect the best. And I could say that her reiatsu was very big, bigger than a third seat's. Renji got up. "You accepted! That's great!"They hugged, and parted.
"Let's celebrate! Captain Kuchiki, May I be excused? I'll do my paperwork later, I promise." I sighed.
"You may. But I expect you to keep your word." I gave him a death glare, and with that, they left. I then started to work on the transfer papers.
Hitomi's POV:
We were in my room, we just moved my stuff into the 6th squad barracks. We just finished and unpacking all the boxes and we were just relaxing planning a party. We planned to have it when Rukia got back from her missin.
"Hey, hitomi, who's gonna be your date?" he was sitting in a chair in my room while I was sitting upside down at the edge of my bed fiddling witha chocolate covered cracker stick withmy mouth.
"I don't know, how about you?"
"I think me and Rukia will go, but just as friends."
"hmmmm…."
"Hey, why don't you go withcaptain kuchiki?"
"What?"
"Well, you're the only one I know that can actually make him smile, seriously, how you do that?"
I giggled.
"I don't know, I guess it's just me"
"Eh, well, you have enough time to choose. By the way, you're going to have to do a lot of paperwork with me tomorrow."
I growled.
"Yah, there are a lot of girls who wanted to get the third seat position just to be close to the captain, and he was okay with you because you don't freak out when you see him"
"That's one of the things that are awesome about me. I don't dream about boys like some other female shinigami out there"
"Thank goodness for that"
The next day…
"What the HELL!"
I hope you liked it! The actual story begins in the next chapter, so I'll try to update as fast as I can. Please review!
