(For new readers and regulars, you may find links to my other works and previous chapters by following the link in my signiture "Fanfics" :) Also for future reference, all bleach fanfics will use the english anime terminology mostly for my convenience. so Soul reaper instead of Shinigami, Liutenent instead of vice captain and Spiritual preasure instead of Reitsu)

Chapter 3: Dove

I ran through the halls of the squad six barracks. My uniform slightly too big. Being a young child, the court guard squads didn't really have uniforms my size. I was on an arrend for squad 4. I was to sweep the barrack's prison cells while the man posted there normally was out sick. As usual, I was running late. I turned the corner quickly, hoping I could get there before I got in trouble. Though I was not officially part of the guard squads, squad 4 often hired outside help to assist in arrends and chores. My parents thought it would be good for me. But not if I'm late!!!

I rounded the next corner, but fell flat on my back after running into a tall, fat man. After rubbing my head, I looked up to see his rather angry face.

"Hey you little brat! Who do you think you are? Little girl running around in a soul reaper's uniform. You think you can play pretend soul reaper in the barracks of squad 6 and run into high ranking officers?!" The man screamed. His face was flush red. He spat with every word he said. His nostrils flared as he stood over me.

"I- I'm sorry," I replied timidly.

"Speak up! I can't hear you! Who do you think you are? Answer me!" He screamed again, before wailing on my rips with his quick kick that knocked me back further.

"Little Brat! You need to be taught a lesson," he said as he raised his leg to strike me again.

"And what kind of lesson is that?" a deep and stern voice boomed from behind me. I turned around to see another man dressed in a soul reaper's uniform. His long black hair braided through ceramic hair pieces normally worn by royalty. A long lock of pure white hair hung loose from the rest but was tied back to lay behind his shoulder. He had piercing blue eyes and a stern face. A sword in a bright blue scabard was tied into his belt, the guard appeared to take the appearance of a golden dragon coiled around the hilt. His entire appearance was incredible.

"What do you want?" the first man asked.

"I want you to leave this child alone. She does not deserve such harsh treatment for an accident."

"Do you know who you are talking to newbie? I am Kenta Okasaki! The 17th seat of squad 6. You better back off before you get hurt." The man said as he moved to punch my savior. The man who came to my rescue simply stood there and took the punch, but he was unefected. He laughed as Kenta stood there bewildered that his attack was innefective.

"You don't seem to know who you deal with," the man said. Suddenly I saw the man drive his fist into Kenta's chest. I didn't even see him move, but my savior completely out classed my attacker. Kenta flew into the wall. After catching his breath he drew his sword.

"You will regret that!," he said as once again he moved to strike, however, he did not make it far as my savior suddenly appeared in front of me. He grabbed the sword with his bare hands, much to the surprise of both myself and my attacker. The man with the white strand of hair clenched his fist and Kenta's sword shattered into hundreds of pieces of metal shrapnel that fell to the ground, leaving only the hilt of the sword in tact. Kenta fell back in disbelief.

Then a massive force befell both Kenta and myself. It felt as though I was being crushed and Kenta fell to his knees. I almost couldn't breath. I watched as my savior pulled a folded cloth object out of his jacket, he flung out part of it, letting it unfold. I stared in amayzement as the cloth became a white captain's jacket with the kanji for 6 on the back. The man put it on. I saw the fear come to Kenta's face.

"I am Katsuo Kuchiki. New Captain of Squad 6. Your superior. But for now, as long as you crawl on the ground like a worm, you may call me god," Captain Kuchiki said alloud. I felt the preasure leave my body as both Kenta and I gasped for breath.

"Forgive me sir!" The panicked Kenta mustered. "I didn't know!"

"NO EXCUSE! You have no excuse for threatening this innocent child. Until further notice. You are stripped of your rank. Your only job in my squad will be to clean the barracks from bottom to top, every day, twice! Do you understand me?"

"Yes sir!"

"Get out of my sight!" Captain Kuchiki said as Kenta bowed and fled for his pitiful existance. The next thing I saw was something I didn't expect. The captain squatted down and took my hand, helping me stand up. He knelt to look me in the eye. "Are you okay, young one?"

"Yes, sir!" I replied in panic.

"You don't have to be so formal. I'm on your side," He said with a smile and a pat on my head. His touch was so warm. "Do you have a name?"

"My name is Katsume... Katsume Shiba," I said slowly, warming up to this kind man kneeling before me.

"Wow, a Shiba, It seems you and I have more in common then I first thought. We are both of noble clans. Well tell you what, tell Captain Unohana that I have a man cleaning the barracks, so you may return to her, and I will even pay you. If anybody ever bothers you again, just send a name my way and I will help you out. Okay?" He said as he stood, giving me a kind smile and a small bag of coins and money. I kindly accepted it.

"Thank you Captain Kuchiki!" I said as I ran down the halls and back to Squad 4. Happy with my new friend.
