said. "Hey Sora. How are you?" "Thanks, good and you?" Vio nodded. "Yes, me too. Are you ready?" Sora looked at her. "You know me!" she said and grinned at her friend. "Well, let's go then." She said and set off with Sora. Not far from the intersection, they met Hikari. “Hey Hikari!” Sora and Vio called after her. She turned around and looked at her friends. They saw Hikari and were a little amazed. "So, what do you look like?" Sora asked directly. "I didn't sleep ..." you could clearly see the dark circles under the eyes. "Oh Hikari ... that'll be fine. We didn't sleep either!" "Then why don't you look like that?" she asked. "Oh, I have no idea. Probably because we are already totally overnight and embarrassed." Vio said. “Yes, completely sleep deprived.” Sora added. Hikari had to laugh. But that soon evaporated. “Do you think we can all make it today?” Sora and Vio looked at her. "Clear!The six of us can do anything. "Said Sora. Hikari looked at her." You're right. "

April, Usagi and Yoko were already waiting in front of the academy. The latter saw the other three first and greeted them. "Morning girls. Well, did you study hard too?" she asked. "Sure," said Hikari. "Then there is no doubt that we won't pass the exam. Or people?" she asked further. "No doubt!" grinned Sora. Then the six set off. Secretly, each of them felt very nervous. Nobody wanted to admit it, but the fear of failure and never again having the chance to become a Shinigami sat on everyone involved. Especially when they went into the building. Because there they saw who had come to be present at the exam. "My God ..." came from Hikari. "What are they all doing here?" asked Evolet. Many of the captains were present. Likewise some of their vicecaptains. “Why are they all so interested in our exam?” But no one could give Sora an answer. Instead, they were led into the examination room by a member of the commission, in which all the captains and vicecaptains present also went. Everyone had heard of the six and that they were supposed to be very talented. They wanted to see for themselves.

Sousuke, Hisagi, Jushiro, Toushiro and the other friends of the Six Young Shinigami Schoolgirls looked at the clock at the same time. It was almost eight in the morning. The second hand was just a few seconds before the 8 o'clock strike. Then the time came. The exam had started. Now they faced a few hours of waiting and fear. Hope they will pass the Shinigami exam. But they wouldn't find out that soon.

* a few hours later *

It was late afternoon by now. Nobody knew anything as the room was very closely guarded from the outside. But then the time had come. The door opened. First all the captains, who were talking very animatedly, came out of the room. Followed by the Vicecaptains, who were also very interested in talking about various things. Then came the examination board. At the very end and very exhausted, the six young women came out of the large examination room from which one could hear a lot of noise again and again. Outside, to their surprise, their former classmates were waiting who were of course very interested and excited. Sousuke, Hisagi and Toushiro were also present, who looked into the faces of Sora, Evolet and Hikari and immediately recognized how the test had gone. All of the Six Women began to smile and grin over their ears. It was then clear to the others too. They all passed the shinigami exam. Evolet ran up to Hisagi, who was not up to the force, mainly because the surprise effect was there, and hugged him so hard that he had almost lost his balance.Sora also went up to Sousuke and smiled at him. "I never doubted it once," he said and smiled. "I know. Thanks!" she said. Sousuke took her hand and pulled her close to hug her properly. Hikari also went to Toushiro, who was happy that Hikari finally made it. "Congratulations, Hikari," he said and hugged her too. Hikari blushed a lot because that was Toushiro's first hug. But she too put her hands around him and hugged him back. Yoko, April and Usagi also hugged each other and were so relieved. They did it. They were shinigami. “We did it.” Yoko said overjoyed. "And with top marks !!" said April. After another brief chat with their former schoolmates, the three girls went home. "Hey wait. Don't you guys want to come with me?" asked Sora. "Where to?" Yoko wanted to know. "Well, we are Shinigami from today! We have to celebrate that !!" said Evolet, amused. "Yes, come with me!" said Hikari too. April and Usagi looked at each other. “Sure, so I'll be there.” April said afterwards. "Me too." Yoko added. Then they all looked at Usagi. She sighed and finally let her friends beat her up. “Yes is good,” she said and then set off with them. We were there, except for our six Shinigamis, Sousuke, Toushiro and Hisagi. Sousuke also said that Shinji would come later and Sora also said that Jushiro would still come. Sora also stated that Jushiro was recently elected the new captain of the 13th Division and that the swearing-in will soon be.

They went to a place very close to the academy. They wanted to celebrate their graduation there. They all ordered something to eat and there was sake too. Shortly before the meal came, the last two guests arrived. Shinji, who was not only a captain but also somehow a friend of the six young Shinigami and Jushiro, who first personally congratulated each of them on their successful graduation. It was a very lively atmosphere and they partied until late in the evening. At some point Sora looked at the clock and noticed that it was shortly before noon. She looked at Hikari, who was talking animatedly with Toushiro and then thought about her goal that they had set themselves yesterday. ° Apparently I can throw this overboard anyway. At least today. ° "Sora, do you have a minute?" asked Sousuke. "Um, sure! What's up?" she wanted to know. "It would be best if you come with me. I would like to talk to you alone." "It's good ..." she said with a slight red tinge, not knowing whether it was alcohol or was triggered by him. But rather the latter. So he pulled her outside with him. Jushiro followed the two with his eyes and had to admit that he was jealous.° But what should I do? I'm sure I won't destroy Sora's happiness. ° He sighed and then picked up the sake bottle again.

Once outside, Sora took a deep breath. She had almost forgotten how good fresh air can be. But she didn't have long time, because Sousuke pulled her on with him. Not roughly, but very gently. "What you up to?" she wanted to know. "I have a little surprise for you," he said and smiled at her. Sora walked alongside Sousuke towards the lake. It was the only one around. It was a fine, clear night. You could see the full moon, which lit up the whole soul society with its glow. Then both went through a small forest until they came to a clearing where a kind of small picnic was prepared. But not only that. There were candles all around the ceiling and everything had a very romantic atmosphere. "What's this all about? Did you do that?" she asked smiling, hoping that he would say yes. Sousuke nodded and walked with her to the ceiling. “I've wanted to tell you something for a long time, Sora.” “What?” He took her hand and looked into her eyes. Sora's heart beat faster. She could already guess what would come next. But so completely, she couldn't believe it. "Sora, you are a very special woman. I knew that from the beginning. We have known each other for a few months now and the time with you was the best time I've had so far." Eyes. "The whole time with you is just unbelievable. Honestly. Especially what I realized very quickly that if you are not with me ... then I miss you." Now Sora was really red and embarrassed. ° Is this really happening right now? Or am I just dreaming about all of this. ° She looked at Sousuke. ° This is not a dream. He is serious. ° "Sora, I fell in love with you." These words caused Sora to feel too gigantic. She looked at him and pulled him a little by the hand he was holding her. Sousuke did not let himself be stopped as his feelings for her were sincere and sincere. Their faces came closer and finally their lips found each other. It was the first kiss between her and Sousuke. He was gentle and tender, but still passionate. Both enjoyed the moment and neither wanted to let go of the other. During the kiss, Sousuke pulled Sora closer because he wanted her to be with him. But then Sora had to reluctantly release the kiss due to lack of air. They both smiled at each other. "That wasn't the last time, was it?" Sora said with a grin. “Not guaranteed.” Sousuke said and kissed her again.

The others in the restaurant had of course noticed that Sousuke and Sora had been gone for a while. Evolet and Hisagi, however, cared little. They only had eyes for each other for the whole evening. Under the table, they always grabbed each other's hands. Until Hisagi decided to talk to her in private.So he pulled her with him. What the others no longer bothered. Hikari least of all. She was only talking to Toushiro. About his new, unofficial post as captain of the 10th Division. Hikari was so proud to have a captain as a best friend. But to tell him how she feels? No. She didn't want that today. She didn't know how he would react. So she decided to wait to see if there were any rapprochements from his side as well.

Outside, Hisagi was sitting on a bench with Evolet. They both had a great conversation and laughed a lot. But then Hisagi wanted to talk to her seriously. "Evolet ... I want to know something. What was the kiss about?" he asked her very directly. Vio blushed a little and thought. Then she remembered Sora's words that she should always be honest. So she made up her mind to tell him how she felt. "I kissed you because I fell in love with you Hisagi," she said and blushed very red. But she was relieved that it was finally
