Chapter 35 - Part 1

"The sun feels so good," Jay looked at the sun, lying on the patio of the new house they chose in Beginner's City. He looked over to the abstract shaped rocks, gravels, and cloud-pruned plant designs. It was a beautiful place, and the sun in the forget-me-not blue sky and its rays.

"Don't say that," Tsunade rested with her head on his stomach, her hands crossed on her abdomen, "Whenever you say that…it gets—"

Bang

"Traitor! Are you here!!"

Tsunade groaned, "Noise…always…noisy."

"Traitor!! Where are you? Come out! I know you are here!"

"Uh," Jay turned his scarlet eyes to the inside of the house; he already knew who it was, the voice made it pretty clear, but he was sure when the bald head came into his sight, "Who are you?"

"You treacherous bastard!! It's I-KKA-KU!! IKKAKU MADARAME!!! You know it!"

"Do I?" Jay doubtfully looked at him, hiding the smile on his lips.

"Ikkaku, he's playing with you."

"But Captain Hitsugaya!"

"Huh," Jay and Tsunade both sat up, a bit stunned, "Did you say, Captain Hitsugaya? You mean Toshiro?"

The last they were in Soul Society, Kaien Shiba was the Captain of the Tenth Division, and his wife, Miyako, was the Vice-Captain, alongside Rangiku. And Toshiro was in the Third Seat, alongside Tsunade's little brother, Nawaki.

"Big Sis!" Nawaki came flying, falling on Tsunade, burying his head in her breasts, grinning.

"Hey boy," Tsunade stroked his head, kissing his forehead and cheek, showering him with kisses. While many high-level ones were needed and had to return, most middle- and low-level ones didn't. They stayed in Soul Society. And Nawaki was one of the people who stayed, even though he had become powerful.

He had made a friend and rival and earned many's respect. He seemed to have found the place where he belonged.

"Kid! Stay away from the traitors!" Ikkaku pointed at him, screaming, only he got kicked and hurled into the garden by a dark-skinned girl, another one who chose to stay behind.

"You shout too much!" She landed on her feet, grinning, "Yo!'

"Fu," Jay smiled at her, "Thank you for shutting him up."

"Anytime," Fu grinned widely, winking at him.

"So…what happened to Kaien?"

"He transferred to fill in a position for another Division. There are a lot of changes with so many of you leaving," Another one entered the room, though she was holding a bottle of sake. The golden blonde sat down in front of Jay, taking a big gulp from the bottle, but rather than swallowing, she kissed him, pouring the sake into his mouth.

"How many of you are here," Tsunade looked at Nawaki, answering, smiling.

"Let's see; there's Toshi—"

"It's Captain Hitsugaya for you."

Nawaki shot him a teasing look, "There's Toshi, Rangiku and me from Tenth Division. Ikkaku and Fu from Eleventh Division. Oh, Yumichika was going to come, but Fu beat him and came instead. Then there is Renji from Sixth Division and Third Division…."

"Captain Rukia Kuchiki."

Jay pulled away from Rangiku, who kept kissing his neck, to look at the woman who said it, sitting beside him, having appeared out of nowhere, "Rukia."

"Captain…I am the new Captain," Rukia blushingly said, a little proud, since she was his Vice-Captain.

He smiled, patting her head, "Oh, I knew you could do it. Take care of them."

"Captain," Rukia pressed her lips, smiling, promising, "I will. Captain."

"Not your Captain anymore."

"I know," Rukia planted a kiss on his lips, "But I will always be Lieutenant."

"Ok," Jay kissed her forehead, "Is there anyone else who came?"

"Yeah, that's going to be awkward," Rukia glanced towards Tsunade, "Other than Renji, the idiot who went somewhere…there are two or three others. From…Fourth Division."

"Hello, is this the right place?" Hanataro peeked inside the room meekly, and after him was a young girl with face paint, making Tsunade blink.

"Hanataro, Rin, come on in," Tsunade smiled, waving them in, when a man with long, pale blue hair walked in, "Can I?"

For most others, the atmosphere in the room became a bit weird, but Tsunade didn't bat an eyelid, "Ah, now I understand their reaction. Dan. Come on in."

"Aren't there too many people here," Jay looked around everyone, even over to Ikkaku, whom Rukia trapped with her Hado and crawled on the floor, "This feels less like a visit."

"Smart as always," Toshiro sat down on his knees in the middle of everyone. He looked towards Tsunade, "Since your Husband is the one who created Shinigami Chess Pieces from those Devil Pieces?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, after our worlds merge and the influx of Souls from your side came and joined Soul Society, even became Captains, Soul Society became too strong. Especially when the Treaty of New House came into Being, and Four New Great Houses were added to the list. Now with the New Changes. Your Brother Nawaki is the Leader of Senju House. Nagato Uzumaki is the Leader of Uzumaki House. Naori Uchiha is the Leader of Uchiha House. The only House without an Accepted Leader is the Hyuga Great House."

"Oh, you are the New Leader of the House," Tsunade kissed Nawaki's forehead, who gleefully grinned.

"Yeah!! That means that Zanpakuto belongs to me," Nawaki puffed out his chest.

"Congratulations, take good care of it," Tsunade praised him.
