**Spoilers are frequent, so beware. scream **

Alright, as you should probably realize by now, I've been training quite a bit for the Eleventh Division seat placements. Seat placements were a few days ago(I've been busying since than.) When I said I thought I'd get in the top fifteen seats, I had no clue I'd do so well. I'm practically jumping off the walls... Well, not really, but after I'm finished I'm to have some drinks in celebration! I invited Aa-kun, even though I know he doesn't really drink much. Oh yeah, I made fourth seat! There were some special circumstances that got me to that seat. You see, Ayasegawa Yumichika isn't fourth seat because three is a beautiful number, but he doesn't want to take Mada Ikkaku's spot, so he chose number five. I didn't actually beat Yumichika, but it was decided that I'd be fourth seat since no one else was capable enough.

I finally have some free time. The reason why my celebration for making fourth seat has waited so long is that I was loaded up with Hollows so I've almost been hunting down Hollows nonstop. Most of the said Hollows were preety weak, but there were some that gave a little bit of trouble, not much though. I don't know why I never get Hollow missions in the Living World.... But anyway, now I get to relax, go out and drink, and hang out with some Division numbers.

Speaking of hanging out with Division members, I was meditating with my zanpaku-to, Rengoku, which is a wakizashi in its sealed form, and Ikkaku and Yumichika were doing so nearby. I am calmly having a conversation with Rengoku when I suddenly hear Yumichika cussing out his sword. Evidently he doesn't get along well with Fujikujyaku, his zanpaku-to. Appearently it has his exact same personality... Two people who think they are just about the most gorgeous thing to grace our eyes and the world revolves around them don't get along together because their egos are so big. Rengoku is rather pleasant and easy to get along with, though sometimes the sarcasm is enough to make your eardrums bleed. Other than that, Rengoku is rather laid-back, though usually comes when I call.

I might as well tell you what Rengoku's shikai form looks like. She's a three foot-long wooden pole with a two-foot long blade on either end. It's kind of funny, at first Rengoku is this small little thing, but ends up about as long as Zaraki-taicho is tall, counting his hair. Once I get spinning Rengoku, I don't stop until I win. Once I have it spinning fast enough, I throw it at my opponent and if they dodge it the first time, they never expect it to come back for a second time. The phrase I use to call out the shikai is 'Jiten, Rengoku'.

Oops, I gotta go, someone's waiting for me outside my door. Ja ne.

**New vocabulary**
Rengoku- 'Purgatory', there's actually a neat story behind this. I asked my friend for any ideas for a zanpaku-to name and she randomly came up with 'Rengoku', she didn't know if it meant something, but I went home and looked it up and saw it meant 'Purgatory', so since I thought it was a cool sword name, I kept it.
Fujikujyaku(I've seen it spelt Fujikujaku, too)- If my sources are right, it means 'Wysteria Peacock'. (Yumichika isn't fruity, he's just showy, like a male peacock.)
Shikai- The term used for the first release of a zanpaku-to.
Jiten- 'Spin'
Ja ne- 'Good-bye' or 'See you later', unlike 'sayonara' which is more like 'farewell'/'I'll never see you again', I think.
