AN: Just something I've had in my head for a while.

"Congratulations Muguruma Kensei, on becoming the new captain of squad 9." Said the captain commander.

Kensei bowed and thanked him.

"Dismissed." And with that the captains meeting ended and the seriousness of the situation disappeared.

The other captains walked up to him and congratulated him, some thumping him on the back others just smiling.

"Alright, time to celebrate." Said Kyouraku, while smiling. "Who wants sake?"

Half of the captains decided to go to a drinking party to commemorate this day. It seemed like the thing to do. And that was of course how the vice captains ended up drunk under the table with their captains singing karaoke very badly at a bar in rukongai.

"You know what you should have Kensei?" said Hirako Shinji, while looking at him with his trade mark smirk.

"A different vice captain?" answered Kensei while his vice captain poked him in the face, giving him a hard poke because of that comment.

"No." Said Shinji, draped over two chairs. "A tattoo. With that tough guy persona you have you should totally get one to intimidate your little minions into submission." Shinji smiled at his own slightly stupid idea, but hey he was drunk so Shinji felt like he was allowed to have a few stupid ideas.

What Shinji wasn't prepared for was Kensei's exclamation of "You are so right! I should definitely get one!" He hadn't taken into account that Kensei was also very drunk.

And that's how they ended up outside of a shady looking building that was apparently (if you believed the sign) a tattoo parlor. Shinji, Love and Mashiro were looking at the building, Kensei and Hirako with excitement, and Love and Mashiro with trepidation.

"You sure about this?" said Love.

"Completely." said Kensei while smiling. Then he frowned." What should I get?"

"You should get something important. Something that means something to you." Said Love while Mashiro nodded.

Kensei looked thoughtful for a while, then his face lit up like a Christmas tree.

"I know! I'll get the number 6, because the kanji in my last name is the same as six and then I'll get the number 9 because I'm the captain of squad 9. Not too complicated and yet has a very deep meaning." Said Kensei, while looking very proud.

Dead silence, and then Shinji started laughing like crazy. "That is great! You should totally get that!" He said in between his laughing fits.

Mashiro looked at him as if he was an idiot while Love just shook his head.

The next day Kensei woke up with a pounding headache and a stinging on his chest. The headache was understandable but he couldn't figure out why his chest stung. With great effort he moved his head to look down, only to see a huge 69 tattoo. And then everything came back to him.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you Hirako!" He shouted.
