Chapter 4: War

       It has been a week since I've gotten to the soul society. I made quick friends with Rangiku Matsumoto, Mono Hinamori, Rukia Kuchiki, Ikkaku Madarame, and Isane Kotetsu. They along with my five captain friends, made my days bearable. I had a good idea of how this new world worked.

       I usually helped Ukitake with his paper work, but he was off in the sereti somewhere decided to travel. I was lazily walking around in a pair of black leggings and a black and white striped sweater, along with black boots. Men and women often stared at me and I knew it was because I dressed weird. My papa despised my clothes and had some silk kimonos made for me, but I never liked traditional clothing unless the colors suited me.
       I walked along the streets when I saw Captain Aizen. He waved at me and I waved back.

       "Hello Aika." He said happily.

       "Hello captain Aizen, how are you." I asked happily.

       "Please Aika, just call me Aizen. I am doing quite well. What about you?" He asked me

       "I'm doing well, just walking around bored." I stated.

       "Oh? Well would you like to come with me back to my office? I was about to make some tea and clean." He said holding out his hand. I took it and smiled. Tea and cleaning sounded nice. We walked to his house chatting about the various captain duties he had. Once we got to his house he brewed some jasmine tea and we sat on the floor.

       *Kyoraku's P.O.V*

       I strode down the street in the cool breeze. I had just seen Aika and oh how beautiful she looked. Although, she was with Aizen. I was jealous of him right now. He got special one on one time with the beautiful fire fly.

       "How crazy." I said to myself brushing a piece of my hair back.

       "Hey Shunsui." I heard Ukitake's voice say, I turned and saw him with Toshiro and Byakuya. What an odd trio.

       "Hey handsome." I said happily.

       "Why are you out standing around?" Toshiro asked.

       "I was just admiring the lovely miss Aika." I said blushing.

       "More like stalking." Byakuya chimed in.

       "Why were you looking at Aika?" Jushiro asked.

       "Well if you saw her leaving with Aizen, you wouldn't gawk?" I asked.

       "Aizen?" Toshiro asked.

       "I highly doubt She will do anything, she has to much class." Byakuya said. "She would never go out with someone with such little class."

       "Are you saying Aizen has little class?" We heard a voice say. Behind us was Rangiku Matsumoto.

       "What are you doing here Rangiku?" Toshiro asked.

       "Well I heard that Aika and Aizen went off together, how scandalous." Rangiku said giggling.

       "She wont do anything." Byakuya said.

       "I agree, she knows she's needs a passionate man." I said huskily.

       "Oh no, she likes the sweet type. Like myself." Ukitake said.

       "Yeah whatever Casanova." I said nudging ukitake.

       "You idiots don't think she wants a man with brains?" Toshiro said.

       "She wants someone with brains and class." Byakuya said.

       "Well your all right you know." Rangiku said. "She likes all of that but she wont settle down easy you know."

       "How do you know?" Toshiro asked.

       "Hello we had a girls night!" She said. "She's a freak in the bed. She told me that she would rather try out a dew men and then decide." Rangiku said. "But you didn't hear that from me." Rangiku sang as she walked away giggling.

       "... well gentleman, I will see you around. I have a stallion to corell." I said snugly.

       "Please. She doesn't want an old man." Toshiro said.

       "Your right, she needs class."  Byakuya said.

       "Look you guys, you heard Rangiku she would rather pick from a few guys." Ukitake said.

      "So what?" I said.

       "So let who ever woos her first get her heart." Byakuya said.

       "So she's a prize?" Toshiro asked.

       "No, a trophy." I said.

       "Well then may the better man win." Byakuya said.

       "Yes, let him win." I said happily. This was the start of war.
