Koujaku listened to the girl then raised his head slightly as he spoke "Ahhhh I see!" Koujaku then nodded "Well seems you did a good job" Koujaku then chuckled when she said about some of them giving her a perverted look when she kicked them "Well that will teach them for trying to get a sneaky peek then wont it?..." Koujaku's eyes then widened a little as he suddenly bowed lightly "Oh how rude of me. My name is Koujaku, it's a pleasure to meet you..." Koujaku then straightened up and spoke "I apologise, i should of introduced myself right away...so what you got planned now?" Koujaku asked curiously

Past post

Takahara nodded her head in agreement, they did indeed get what they deserved, although they might not have cared really. Still she got accepted in so she was proud enough. She then watched him bow and tell her, his name. So she did the same she bowed then straightened. "My name is Takahara, pleasure to meet you too Koujaku, and dont worry about it, I'm not one to worry about introductions right away." She then thought about what she could do next, which made her scratch her head, she thought the test might have been longer, yet it was fairly fast. "I guess practice."

Post-Timeskip
Kenny

Kakashi put the last piece of armor on and shrugged into a sleeveless black coat that reached to just before his ankles. Emblazoned on the back was the Seventh Squad sigil. He checked himself in the mirror, and appraised himself. He was wearing a full set of samurai armor, all black, with his black sleeveless coat. He wore the half mask but opted not to wear the helm.

Being that his squad was captain less, he was assigned his missions from Squad One and was headed that way now. Tucking his sword and sheath into his belt on the right hip as was traditional, he set out to squad One. On his way, he passed Squad 11, where he nodded to Kaien, whose looks had not changed in a year, save for more scars. As was custom, Kaien was meditating atop the roof since sunrise, and in a few moments he would train. The spot on the roof had become his, and those who tried to make him move, unless it was for a mission or emergency, got beaten for their trouble, unless it was the Lieutenant or third seat.

Kaien, in return, nodded, and stood up, Shunpō'ing inside to talk to the Lieutenant. He had his own mission to procure. Kenny smirked beneath his mask and Shunpōed to Squad One's barracks. He knocked on the door and waited.

It was very strange how time worked wasn't it? Always changing, never stopping. It was no wonder things were such a mess. With trust fading day by day, minute by minute, second by second within the Gotei 13. Things weren't looking as good as they once were just over a year ago, then again. Kyoko knew she didn't expect to come that far within a year, but she had, through training, advice and guidance from her Captain, and encouragement from the few friends she did have. Time had sped up, it had already been a year. Trust was almost nonexistence between quite a few Shinigami around, and it wasn't all that surprising considering recent events. Things had changed for everyone, and that included the white haired Shinigami.

Not only was she gaining very slow but steady progress with her Zanpakuto, he was still as annoying as ever though. But having promoted to the Fourth seat of the Squad wasn't something she was expecting, perhaps her long hours working had finally begun to pay off. Kyoko's Haduka and Shunpo had improved leaps and bounds, her kido followed quickly after. The only thing she seemed to lack slightly in, was more experience in Zanjustu, nothing like learning forms but actual battle experience. It was something the young female knew she needed to pick up on, and considering the type of Zanpakuto, Dokuga seemed to be, she wasn't about to slack on that either. Although she had heard the saying from the humans in the world of the living, to 'never judge a book by it's cover' so to speak. Kyo knew that was true for her own self, and Dokuga as well. Still, the rise in rank meant more paperwork, it was at these times Kyo or rather even now Canaan wished she was unseated still. So little paperwork, it was a joyous thing indeed. Oh well.

Having finished the last stack for the meantime, the newest fourth seat relaxed back into her chair, letting out the briefest of sighs. Things had surely been hectic these last past weeks, with graduates coming from the academy, wanting to join a whole manner of Squads. Things were very busy within the offices of the Third, and to be honest. Kyoko had been working solidly for a few hours, getting up and grabbing the papers she had just finished. Although the third seat wasn't in, she dropped them off to be checked at the third seat's office. Then soon heading out of the main building, new graduates and other seated members bowing towards her as she passed, soon reaching outside. The young Shinigami exhaled slowly, hoping up onto the roof, before then moving forward. It was a nice enough day, so why not wander for just a little while?

Ayashi sat in her room on her bed holding Amaya and rocking her back and forth gently. She began whistling the same tune she whistled when she first met Yu, then began singing softly to the baby. Standing up she walked over to the crib laying Amaya down gently and pulling the blanket over her. Amaya reached up at Ayashi before yawning and rubbing her eye, listening to her mother's tune causing her to slowly close her eyes and then fall asleep. Finally, Ayashi thought with a smile and then touching her stomach. She had to lay off a few months from missions due to the pregnancy, but she helped out allot with paperwork. With how things had been going lately she could start doing missions again, of course she had to train because she would be Rusty, but she could still get into it. She walked over to Meowgi and picked him up petting him, "How you doing little guy?" she asked, despite Meowgi being much bigger now.

Yu was in the back ground putting on his Lieutenant armband, he was still surprised he was able to make it this far mostly in a squad such as this one. Putting on his Headband so his hair didn't blow around in his face due to how long it had gotten, he would have cut it, but for some reason Ayashi seemed to like it quite a bit so he left it that way. once he finished putting his headband on he walked over to the crib and smiled at the child, before walking over to Ayashi who was petting the cat. He kissed her on the cheek, then scratched the cat behind the ear. "Good morning.....well you know what I mean." Yu said chuckling referring to Amaya.

Aya bounced around her room humming and combing her slightly longer hair preparing for the day, as she was slacking a bit when she had Hozumi. Speaking of which she creept over to him and grinned as she suddenly picked him up and gave him a hug her cheek squishing against his cheek. "Goooood morning my adorable little son! Today is going to be a fun day, we are going to annoy... i mean visit Aunt Chie and her mean old boyfriend Fumio, then annoy the Captain!"

Hozumi was taking a quick nap, lying down on his side and dreaming of being an birdy. Suddenly, he was awoken from his dream and brought back to reality with tight hug "Moooom!! I'm not that little anymore!" He said, trying to push his cheek off of hers and feeling embarrassed. He looked around, thinking that there was people around which made him put up the act. Once he made sure no one was around, he let her continue to hug him "B-but I don't mind you calling me adorable, as long as its not in public!" He said to his mom, not wanting to be embarrassed in public. His face brightened up "Yaaay!!" He said, with a grin showing his razor sharp molars and canines "Well, what are we waiting for?" Hozumi broke out of Aya's hug and leaped up, landing on her shoulders "Giddy up horsey!!"

"Awwww I thought I was one of them cool moms that allll the sons wanted to show off. And technically you aren't little but you are still my son, you will always be my little boy, even when you are taller than me." Aya said then when Hozumi got all excited and got on her shoulders saying giddy up, she laughed and started to shunpo off holding onto his legs while doing so, landing inside Squad three, someone tried to stop her but in the moment of playing horsey she simply ran over the guard and made it to her sisters room where she barged in on Chie who was sitting at a table and femme who was making tea. "We are here to annoy you... I mean! Play with you!"

Chie who stared at the sight blinked twice and sighed as she got up and went over to Hozumi and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Good morning Hozumi and sister. Come in, Pretty boy is making Tea, aren't you Fumio?" Chie said with s glare which was to tell him not to say anything about what they might have been doing.

Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio was at one of the kitchen counters, pouring some tea with a smug smirk. Then Aya rudely barged into the room, causing his smirk to drop into a straight line. He kept quiet until Chie glared at him. "Whatever you say Gemstone~" He chuckled a little before placing his and Chie's cups of tea onto the table. "Hello you two" He stated routinely, not even looking at the two but instead began sipping his own cup of tea.

Hozumi blushed after Chie kissed him on the cheek "Good morning...cherry top-senpai!!" He said, leaping off Aya and burrowing his face into Chie's chest for a quick second. Before she could even react, Hozumi flipped backwards out of her range, laughing the entire time with a wide grin. He landed and noticed Fumio's attitude and pouted. He made his way towards Fumio, while also avoiding Chie. He jumped on Fumio's shoulders, pulling his hair "Why are you being so ruuuude, Fumio-senpai?" He asked, while still pulling his hair "You don't wanna be my horsey?"

Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio had just sat down, ignoring the farce around him while sipping on his tea peacefully until Hozumi ruined it by jumping on him and pulling his hair. Quickly, he placed his tea down onto the table before he could spill it all over his lap. "Hozumi! Stop! You're ruining my hair!" He raised his hands to grip Hozumi's arms lightly, focused on trying not to hurt him. He held Hozumi's arms to stop him from pulling his hair further. "I'm not being rude Hozumi, your mommy just doesn't understand the simple action of knocking the door incase she was interrupting something between me and your Antie" Fumio lifted Hozumi off of his head and next to his seat.

Seki with her sword resting on her shoulder as she walked the halls of Squad Eleven, was looking for a specific person, and despite his position he was were Lieutenants usually were. of course knowing Shiro, if he stood still too long he might murder everything within range. He most certainly acted like a Kenpatchi, acting aggressive yet treated this Squad like they were family. It took a while, but she finally found him outside, so she held out her sword at him and grinned. "There you are. I challenge you to a fight Shiro. I won't lose this time!"

Chie just sighed when Hozumi pretty much smothered his face in her breast, then went and messed up Fumio's hair which amused her to see how Fumio reacted. "hey, you deserve o have that hair messed up. It was going to get messed up anyway...." Chie said mumbling the last part which made Aya giggle and rub the back of her head. [b] Relax Femme, he does it because hes just jealous of your perfect hair. besides I just came to visit for a bit, before I go talk to the Captain, and leave Hozumi with someone else today. So don't worry you can still have your little fun."

Kazuya had gone out for a walk, he didn't really know how to deal with getting a much higher seat, it was unexpected...even though he had tried to hide his talents it was clear he couldn't from the Captain and this now meant things were even more awkward as the Captain expected some greater things from him, then there was the lower ranked Shinigami looking up to him and asking him things which was awkward, it was a bit much for him to handle...he was kinda an easy person to approach but still...as Kazuya walked with his hands in his pockets and his vision set on the ground he walked on he glanced up for a second to see Kyoko which made him quickly look back down and try and completely avoid eye contact, meeting the girl was slightly awkward and the few missions they had been on were just as awkward...not because there was anything wrong with her it was just...she was a girl which he found much more awkward as he didn't know how to speak or deal with girls as well as guys...

Kirishin continued with the others before hearing something heavy drop from behind which caused him to stop. Turning his head in the direction of the sound , he witnessed the end of one of the Shinigami, unsheathing his Zanpakuto as a result. "The hell!!!" His face widened as the killer's face came into view. The other two, enraged from the death of one of their charged at the weird figure. "Wait!! Something's not right here!!!" He yelled with them ignoring his words and ending up dead easily. Their swords were split half as if they were only grains of sand along with their bodies.

The once weirdish facial appearance the figure had changed probably during the course of the attack. The entity turned to Kirishin with the look to scare anyone easily, causing his left leg to slide back in fear. "It seems you have the looks of an intimidation master but no one makes me back down without beating me first! Prelude to the end, Perdida." Suddenly his spiritual pressure rose up a bit while quickly forming his Shikai into two razor edged boomerangs after the cube form had emerged. "It might not look like much but let's see if you can handle it. And once I'm through, you're going tell me everything I want to know. Even if I have to rip out your brain and decipher your memories myself to do it." Kiri noted before tossing one of the boomerangs at the gigantic demon while gaining some distance between it. It was obvious that this thing's strength was far beyond that of a normal Hollow judging by how easily it took care of the other two. Not to mention the one it took care of with speed and stealth alone making this thing a fearsome opponent.

An entire year has passed and not much had changed. The Gotei 13 had been slowly rebuilding, and regaining its squad members, replacing empty slots one by one. He had just recently filled one of those slots himself about two months ago, and was proud of his achievement. Hard work, and training really pays off I guess he thought to himself, and made a slight smirk. For that entire year he had been slowly mastering his Kido, and had gotten decently good at it too. It was well enough for him to consider himself a proud seated officer of squad five at least. His other skills were not lacking either, and he had little to fear about falling behind in the ranks.

Gustavo then sat down in his new office and noticed how quiet it was. He then turned to the many papers that he had stacked up, and the idea of having to finish them were discouraging to say the least, but it wasn't to bad once he got used to it. He then opened the door, and noticed it was a beautiful day, and than thought that maybe he should spend time enjoying it. "Maybe the life of a Shinigami is to long not to enjoy moments like this" he whispered to himself, and let out another smile. He shunpo'd up to the top of a nearby roof, and started to doze off looking at the sky.

Titan Post Time - skip

"Ahhhhh!!!" Titan screamed as he was brushed from out of his master's hair. He quickly transformed back into his previous kid form before going splat on the ground. His eyes looked a bit drowsy as he began to rub his eyes before staring at everyone. "Hello everyone, goodnight everyone and have a nice sleep." Titan said in a hurry, minimizing his size once again shortly after. He then proceeded to fly back up into the center of Aya's hair where he intended to relax for all eternity.

The now 3rd seat Giovanni Cain looked sighed as he finished up his paperwork. As rewarding as it was to be the reason the kido corps came out of absolute seclusion and merged with the 5th squad it was equally taxing. Damn near everyone needed to be retrained, half the kido corps forgot how to even hold a sword and squad five was barely receptive to the anal nature of the members when it came to kido. A few months later it was almost smoothed out but every now and then they would hit a bump in the road. That wasn’t even the frustrating part, oh no that was the easy part nowadays. The frustrating part was maintaining the balance. See now that everyone was pretty much used to the other unit it was simply a matter of maintaining equilibrium, balancing research with patrols and trainings. Gio was one of the people responsible for making sure that squad 5 would maintain its reputation of total preparedness and excel in just about everything. That meant a more rigorous training regiment for everyone, himself included.

On top of all that he maintained contact with his mysterious female friend form the 64th North district. It was a precarious alliance but she proved several times that she was worth trusting. She was his ears, and he was her eyes. while initially most of their dealings with each other involved the Sect it tended to trickle down to protecting the souls in the northern outer districts. Gio recognized that he wouldn’t have the man power or the patience to deal with all the directions and districts so he settled for the North. After the first couple trips out that way he stopped running into trouble from the souls. He was no hero to them but he solved some of their problems and that seemed to suffice them.

But now that a new day was dawning, and everything seemed so on edge Gio stepped out of his Barrack to soak in the sun. “lets see what this day brings” he recited to himself

Koujaku listened to Takahara then nodded "Ah I see well if you are going to practice do you want me to leave you alone? I mean that's fine if you want me to, I understand that you'll be taking your new position seriously" Koujaku believed that she probably wanted to train alone which was fair...Koujaku kinda of preferred things that way also so he could relate there if that was what she wanted, he'd probably go get a drink and play a game of poker if that was the case

Shiro stood outside watching some of his Squad members training then he heard the voice of his 5th seat Seki ring out as she then spoke, Shiro then turned to see her pointing her Zanpakuto at him a small grin on his face "Oh? what makes you think you can beat me this time? ...whatever, it doesn't really matter. If you think you can provide me a decent challenge then very well but you know our policy here! If you get cut don't go crying about it! Keep fighting till you drop from the pain or exhaustion!" Shiro then pulled his Zanpakuto off his right shoulder then ran at Seki with great speed and slashed down at her grinning
