(( Evil... I friggin love you! My first pledge.... wow.... That's..... HOLY CRAP! :: dances excitedly:: ))
Yuki watched as the two got their respective items, glad that she didn't have to go hunting around for them like an idiot. She was about to sit down when Evil stood in front of her and gave an abrupt bow, swearing herself in to the newest commander-General of the Seretei. Yuki's eyes flew open wide as the reality finally hit her greif-numbed brain....
She was now the most powerful person in the Sereitei.
Shock hit her in waves and she just stood there like an idiot for a few moments before working up enough wit to resume time. She blinked, and smiled... It was good to be king.... If a little lonely at the tippity top.
"Thanks Evil... That means a lot to me."
She said, sitting down on the floor, reminding herself to get some chairs in here eventually. Yuki's spirits where momentarily lifted as she remembered Daven's last wish for his memorial.
"Yeah... Tea sounds good.... We can drink to Daven."
She said, implying in the way she said it that she was remembering his life, and sure as hell not his death. Just how he wanted it.

((XDD No problem. I'd be on Cloud 9 if I was promoted Commader-General. LOL ))  ~* Evil Wolf*~Evil smiled at Yuki, glad for a moment in the slight change of mood. She took a seat on the same couch she'd always had sat on when she had discussed things with Daven. Her throat tightened up, but she just smiled again.
"Yes. To Daven."~*Captain of Squad 10*~

MockaDash was still in a faraway place on his mind. When Evil pledged to serve Yuki as the new Commander-General, it hit him, and he was hauled back into his own self.
His cold gaze gradually melted into a face that was twitching with grief. With his right hand trembling, he reached for his kasa hat, and placed it on the desk. With his left hand, he scratched the top of his head before grabbing his hair and clenching his fist around it.
Please... Stop this! He was finally able to say. Let's drink to you instead! he addressed Yuki. The new Commander-General!!! He forced a smile. Mock was being honest with his praise, but he was no longer the same man he once was. The smile, was his own way to make it seem as if nothing as changed, to pretend that he was still that same jovial Shinigami as before. But he just couldn't pretend anymore...
He cleared his throat, while a small portion of his katana's scabbard turned to ash and fluttered in the air, resting on top of his kasa. The ashes flickered for a second, before igniting the whole hat, and reduce it to dust.
I say we drink to a new chapter... In honor of Daven! That's what I think he would want!!! He smiled, this time involuntarily, as he remembered his former Captain. He felt a little warmer inside, because he just realized he was not alone in his pain.
I must apologize, Yuki-sama, for my poor display... He bowed to her. I don't think I have congratulated you yet, in your promotion!!! It's just that... The words died in his mouth, and Mock raised his head to meat Yuki's eyes. Congratulations!!! If Daven trusted in you to be his successor, than so shall I!!! Please, guide us all, with your wisdom and willpower!!!

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil smiled and nodded, glad that the three could celebrate something in these dark times. She turned a little to Mock, her eyes glittering, but with what, even she didn't know. "Congratulations are in order for you as well captain Mock. I don't think you've gotten your Haori yet, have you?" She said, looking to Yuki to see if she'd rather give it to him than her. ~*Captain of Squad 10*~

My... haori??? Mock stuttered. He took a look at his clothes and gazed at the flower-patterned one he always used. Directing his eyes at Evil, the Shinigami said... My... Captain... haori...
The sentence "you are the new 13th squad captain" had been heard by him, but he had not payed attention to it... In comparison to Daven's death and Yuki's promotion, his own was of no importance to him. Then, he realized what it true meant and how conclusive it seemed.
I'll be leaving 1st squad for good then... He said. So this is really it, huh? I guess it can be looked as a positive thing, since I do need to stay away from the memories this place brings to me...
Domo arigato, Evil-sama. Mock said as he bowed to Evil as an expression of gratitude for her compliment, before turning once more to Yuki and bowing to her as well. Yuki-sama, I promise that I'll live up to both yours and Daven's expectations. I will take good care of your squad for you, and protect the Seretei with all my strength!!!
...hopefully not as good as I protected Daven...He couldn't avoid thinking that last sentence.
The irony of it all! If only he could see into the near future...

The light streaming in from the doorway was suddenly blocked by a familiar form. Razil of 1st stepped in, eying the occupants quietly and respectfully. In his clenched fist, a white piece of cloth was wound among his knuckles. He stepped up to his new Captain, holding the clump of material out to her.
"Yuki-Taicho, as 3rd Seat I would like to welcome you as my Captain...I believe this is yours now."
He placed the cloth on the table next to Yuki-Taicho, revealing it to be the tattered remains of Daven's Haori, the Squad 1 Insignia still visible through the tears and wrinkles. So delivering the item, Razil turned stiffly and headed back from the way he came. He stopped next to Mocka and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Congratulations, Mocka-Sama...or should I say Mocka-Taicho now?" He smiled weakly.
"I will be sure to visit you in 13th, maybe we can spar again when I get my Bankai, eh?"
With a familiar squeeze, Razil left the office, heading to his place of meditation.
((I felt this added to the story, if you want me to delete it just say so and I will without further ado sweatdrop ))

((I don't mind. Now we need to hear from Yuki and Evil. Anyway, I'll also delete my post for the sake of story continuity, if your's get deleted. I just couldn't resist talking to an old friend/teammate xp ))
Mocka-sama???... MockaDash grinned. For a minute there, I thought you might be talking to me!!!
Razil-kun... I'll start to feel detached from my former squad mates, if you start treating me like that!!! And about that spar... There's no need to wait for you to get stronger! You always put up a good fight against me!!!
Looking back as Razil stepped out of the Office, Mock then turned his attention to the ragged cloth on top of Yuki's desk. Feeling, that everything was finally in place, for him (and the remaining of Soul Society) to move forward.

(( I got no problem with your post. It makes for a nice flow of story. :3 Thanks))
Yuki sat back for a moment and listned to the conversation between Evil and Mocka, realizing that the time had finally come for her to give up her Haori... She chuckled to herself for a moment, she had ripped the bottom of her Haori off to acomidate for her short stature, taking no concideration in for her successor. She didn't think she ever would need a successor, and that if she ever did, she sure as hell wouldn't be alive to see it.
As she started to take off her 13th squad Haori a squad member she didn't recognize came in and delivered the tear stained remainder of Daven's 1st squad one. She watched him go, making a mental note to find out who he was. He must have been a decent seat number if he was talking about getting his bankai..... She would have to teach him before he killed himself doing it.
When the seated member left she took off her old Haori and handed it to Mocka. She was wearing her backless, sleeveless shirt underneath. And as usual it showed off her Purple and blue butterfly tattoo on her back. Not many people saw it these days with her captain's Haori on.
"I guess that makes this one yours.... Sorry if it's not long enough.... I ripped off the bottom when I first became captain because I hated it dragging on the floor. "
She picked up the tattered remains of Daven's old Haori and folded it up properly. She was going to have to patch it up before she officially took it up.... Besides... it was still too soon. She put it down, folded, on the table where tea would hopefully be served eventually.
"So, are we going to get tea, or what"

Accepting Yukimaru's haori with a vehement bow, Mock said as he placed the haori on top of the office's desk and grabbed some matcha powder... Green tea, anyone??? he grinned.
Not waiting for a reply however, Mock started to prepare the tea, by grinding the powder and cleaning the bowls, later heating the water by channeling reiatsu from his Zanpakutou - KaijinKami. His hand glowed orange, as the spirit particles in the water were being heated as a result of the exothermic reaction caused by Mock's heat release. Distributing even amounts of powder on each of the three bowls, he later poured the hot water on them, stirring the tea with a chasen whisk.
The tea is ready!!! he said with a smile. I know I'm not following the chanoyu, but this will have to suffice for now!!!

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil smiled wearily.
"That sounds good. I don't think this goes well with tea, but if anyone would like my Special Tomato Juice..." She said, pulling out a fairly large bottle of Tomato Juice from her Captain's robes and placed it on the table. She chuckled and took a small swig of it, her exhaustion held at bay by the energized drink. ~*Captain of Squad 10*~

(( sorry I havn't posted, the internet crashed or something on my laptop. I've been trying to fix it, but so far no go. ))
Yuki always took her tea with enough honey to make it a molasis consistancy. She couldn't stand the bitter taste of most teas, but today, she was feeling bitter. She poured herself some tea and drank it streight, it tasted like shoe leather. With a bitter grimice she poured herself some more, finding that shoe leather tasted better than tear-salt.
She looked up at Evil and her Tomato juice, and blinked. She didn't think anyone other than drunkards carried drinks around with them, and none of them carried Tomato juice. With a shrug Yuki dismissed it, raising her glass a little.
"To Daven."
She said, a bitter-sweet smile plastered across her face.

Mock always enjoyed his matcha as it was, plain and simple. He gave Evil a wide grin, when she placed the bottle of juice on the table.
Mock had some kind of a déjà vu when he took the first sip from his bowl. It was strange, because although it was a similar situation, it really had nothing to do with the current one. He recalled a time when he was having dinner with his Captain and Vice-Captain... Life on the 1st Squad was always fast paced, and Mock used every free time he had to further improve his abilities and meditate. He seldom had leisure time, and fewer this his higher-ups. So to the three of them to be able to meet together and have dine, was indeed a one of kind experience (as it proven to be).
They did meet to discuss Squad issues and bureaucracy, but it came out to be more than that. It was the only time when the three had some carefree conversation.
The first one to "disappear" was Yushi, and Mock took her place as Vice. And now Daven himself was dead, and Mock became Captain. It seemed that he was filling the gaps left by his predecessors, whom he only wished to assist to his fullest.
To Daven! Mock replied, suddenly feeling melancholic yet again.

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil smiled faintly and raised the bottle of Tomato Juice. "To Daven." her eyes had taken on a foggy look, remembering the times she had spent with Daven, most specifically when he had trained her for Bankai and they had roamed the woods together in their respective animal forms. She paused, breathing in his scent that still lingered faintly around the room. She took a sip of the Tomato Juice, closing her eyes for a moment. ~*Captain of Squad 10*~

A garganta opened above the abandoned city and fortress of Sereitei. Dropping down to the upper Citadel that housed the captain's quarters of the Gotei 13, Yuan dragged Hatsume behind him. They made their way to the 1st Division office, where Yuan threw Hatsume onto a couch that happened to be conveniently located in the Captain's office. He then walked over to the balcony which overlooked much of the giant city/fortress that was Sereitei. And now we wait and see just how many of those damned shinigami actually have the courage to face the unknown. Yuan Leaned on the railing, gazing out over the landscape through his blindfold. So very convenient that Sereitei is abandoned. It makes it so much easier to add insult to injury. As he stood, waiting to see who would follow, Yuan couldn't help but lick his blade a bit in excitement.
