This is really weird. I don't own Bleach, what.

He gives them ten seconds to run before screaming after them. "YOU GUYS HAVE WORK TO DO, IDIOTS! DON'T JUST RUN OFF AND LEAVE IT TO ME."

"Bye-bye, Toshiro-kun," Isshin-taichou calls back at him, and Matsumoto-fukutaichou winks with an impossibly large smile.

"Be good while we're gone, Hitsugaya-kun!" Matsumoto yells and visibly breaks down in laughter before rounding the corner. Hitsugaya heads in and sits down at his desk, staring at the door of the taichou and fukutaichou office.

He begins to daydream. "If only they did their work," he whispers into his pile of paperwork. "I could eat watermelon." He imagines the delicious, juicy fruit, and a small rare smile comes to his face. His pounding headache fades and he strokes Hyourinmaru's hilt. "And do what I want," he glares at the paperwork. "Instead of this."

Picking up his pen, he reads the first sentence.

As captain, how would you rate your third seat from a scale of 1 through 5? Explain.

Hitsugaya lets out a smirk that disappears as quickly as it comes. "Hm...how about...five," he scribbles furiously, trying to capture Isshin's voice in his writing. "He always does my work for me and lets me run off to get ice cream in the human world with Rangiku-chan. He's the best third seat ever assigned to my division. He'd be a shoo-in for the next captaincy spot. Yes, Toshiro Hitsugaya is indeed a great person." Satisfied, he sets down his pen and puts Isshin's seal over the signature section. He was given one because Isshin wanted him to do his paperwork, but it looked like it backfired this time.

He puts the paper in the "finished" pile, and looks at the next one.

As captain, how would you rate your fukutaichou from a scale of 1 through 5? Explain.

Hitsugaya began to visibly shake with laughter. He knew exactly what he'd write. "Two," he mumbled as he wrote, "because she never does any work and always steals my favorite ice cream flavor. The third seat would be a preferable fukutaichou compared to Rangiku-chan, because he does all my work."

Revenge...was...bittersweet.

He wouldn't admit it, but when Isshin disappeared off to the real world for forever, he was devastated just as much as anyone else, although his memories of Isshin may not have been good.

The captains can't decide who should be captain for the 10th division. "It will be either the fukutaichou or the third seat," Yamamoto intones, staring intently at two pieces of paper. "I will see what the late captain Shiba Isshin has to say about both of them."

Kyoraku walks forward with a barely contained bounce to his step. He has a solemn look on for the fact that Isshin is disappeared, but still, he is as cheerful as ever. "Let me read, old man Yama." Without waiting for an agreement, he picks up the paper and clears his voice. "Matsumoto Rangiku - I rate her a two, because she never does any work and always steals my favorite ice cream flavor. The third seat would be a preferable fukutaichou compared to Rangiku-chan, because he does all my work." He stroked his beard. "Well, that looks like one point in favor of Toshiro-kun. I rate Toshiro-kun a five. He always does my work for me and lets me run off to get ice cream in the human world with Rangiku-chan. He's the best third seat ever assigned to my division. He'd be a shoo-in for the next captaincy spot. Yes, Toshiro Hitsugaya is indeed a great person."

The captains murmur among themselves, save for the nobles and the insane (Kuchiki and Kenpachi). Why would Isshin have such a biased viewpoint?

However, he'd made his opinions clear, and the captains unanimously vote for Toshiro Hitsugaya to be the 10th division captain.

And that's - that's how Toshiro Hitsugaya became captain of the tenth division.
