A mysterious man in a distance began to run in the direction of a nearby alleyway shortly after the Shinigami began asking around. "So I guess that damn Shiegoru ratted me out but how could they send someone so soon? As long as I keep low, it shouldn't matter and it looks like I'm going to have to speed things up. To do that I'll need test subjects..." He said while pushing on certain parts of the alleyway's wall as if he were inputting a password of some kind.

Angelo saw a quick flash of someone running into an alleyway do he silently walked towards the alleyway taking a peak at the person touching parts of the wall. It must have been because he made secret passages in the walls that he was able to elude us for so long. he remembered the captain words to not engage and just confirm he was here but I didn't see the blue hair that he described it just seemed very suspicious that once I started to ask around this was the first guy to run into an alley if he isn't the target he will know how to find it

Shiros sudden spiritual energy burst made the creature stop its attack and step back a bit to watch what he was going to do So when he slammed his left hand into the ground sending Iron spikes to come shooting out towards toward the beast, it roared and charged right forward taking this as a challenge from Shiro, and started swinging its paws shattering some of the spikes while a few managed to slip through and cut his sides and arm and legs. Yet he reached Shiro and jumped up a bit bringing its two paws up above him to slam down on him While Seki went in from behind swinging her sword down as well.

Shiro watched as the beast crashed through some of the iron spikes and broke a few as it did, once it closed in on him it raised it's paws aiming to slam them down on Shiro, he then noticed Seki appear behind him. This made his eyes narrow as the paws slammed down on him as Seki slashed at him. The ground would then begin shaking violently as Red spiritual energy burst out from under the beasts paws. Shiro held his Zanpakuto with both hands, one on the hilt and the other on the blade itself as he pushed back against the beast, his spiritual energy continuing to grow as he did. The attack of Seki's had hit Shiro and cut him yet he seemed to show no feeling of pain. "Is this all you got?" Shiro then let out a massive burst of Spiritual energy as he pushed back against the beasts paws aiming to send it flying back and if successful he'd turn and slash towards Seki aiming to cut her across her stomach

Gustavo laughed slightly at his comment, "Your not that old Giovanni, as long as us Shinigami live your probably not a day older then thirty-five." The smile on Gustavo's face continued, and he turned to face the sky, and watched the clouds go by for a few more seconds. he thought to himself, and then turned back to Giovanni. "You have a point Giovanni, maybe on a day like this we should enjoy it," he then gave him a slight grin. "Well have fun at the academy, I think I'm going to enjoy a few more hours of rest" he laughed awkwardly, and quickly Shunpo'd to his original spot, and laid down facing the sky.

Ko suddenly hopped up onto Gustavo's spot and swung out her leg in a lazy manner, not to strike him but just to make him pay attention, or if it was funnier to her to gently push him off the roof, she was sure he could survive it, right? Either way she would speak up so both him and Giovanni could hear her, all the while leaning back on her rather long sword as some kind of support. "Are you two really just going to be lazy all day?" She was so not the one to bring this kind of thing up that was for sure... "Why don't we all go on a mission together? Or maybe have some tea and talk? After all I should get to know my future subordinates." She smirked ever so slightly before pushing herself back up from leaning on her sword. "If not then I guess I could always train by picking a fight with a few Squad 11 members." Such good training dummies, so easy to provoke into a fight.

With both hers and Komas attacks striking, he choose to block Komas, while hers cut at his back yet his spiritual energy seemingly never slowed down only continued to rise further and further, pushing Koma back who even was starting to feel threatened by the mans power. Yet he still taunted,her followed by a burst of Spiritual energy as Koma was sent flying backwards when Shiro pushed him back, which was followed by a slash towards her stomach, she had to step back so she wasn't cleaved in two, and only received a slightly large cut across it instead of a deep cut. It still bleed out though. By the time Koma was back up he simply circled around Shiro before sitting down, seemingly transferring all his power to Seki, before vanishing. One good attack huh? Damn, hes more of a demon than my own Zanpakuto. She though before all the energy transferred to her blade turning it bright pink, which was a sign of Komas last energy. She then ran towards Shiro grinning. "Senmaioroshi." Was all Seki said before she started striking incredibly fast.

Gustavo started to relax, expecting Giovanni to start heading off to the academy, when suddenly Koyo jumped up to his spot. She moved her leg in a lazy like manner, but it was enough to catch him off guard, and make him fall off the rooftop, and hit his head on the floor below. By the time he recovered, and started to stand up, she started to ask Gustavo and Giovanni if they were going to be lazy all day, or if they were going to do something productive, and then proceed with a taunt. Gustavo looked up at her and smiled, "to be fair I was planning on going to grab a mission latter on, after some relaxation, but now that that's over, then I guess I might as well pick up one early." He completely ignored her taunt, but it still annoyed him slightly, simply because he hated the idea that he would lose captain to someone else. He looked over at Giovanni, "You might as well join us, I mean this would be your perfect chance to get to know your fellow squad members" he laughed slightly, and continued "or do you 'still want to feel young again'."

Sipping on a cup of tea, a woman with long, spiral, black pigtails and ruby-red eyes sat in a booth at the very back of a pub. She sipped on her tea gently until she had finished her beverage. Laying on the table in front of her were a pile of poker chips on her right and a deck of cards on her left. "Uggghhh! How are you able to beat me!" A man sat across from her had his face planted onto the surface of the table they both occupied. The woman only sat in silence, placing her empty cup of tea onto the table softly. Her gaze moved quickly from her cup to the guy across the other side of the table. "I told you, did I not? I always win." She spoke monotonously, an eerie calmness travelled in her tone. The guy stood up reluctantly and began to walk out, her gaze following him all the way to the door while her face stayed straight, neutral.

Koujaku decided to go to a bar after a while of working out, he needed to go relax, have a drink and perhaps even meet some new people. Koujaku arrived at a bar he didn't usually go to but this was just part of the fun, as Koujaku walked in some guy walked out looking pretty down which made him stop and look back at the guy he then shrugged to himself and turned and began walking towards the bar, he however noticed a girl with rather odd hair looking at him yet he decided to ignore this and just went to the bar as planned and sat down on one of the many stalls as he waited to be served yet he could still feel something unsettling...like...someone staring at him which caused him to turn and see the girl still staring at him, this made him wonder as to why she was looking at him, was something wrong with him being here or something? "Hmm..." Koujaku turned and got off the stall as he then walked over to the girl then stopped at the table noticing what seemed to be the setup of poker, however his vision travelled back to the girl as he then spoke "Uh yeah I couldn't help but notice you staring at me...is there something wrong with me?" Koujaku was rather confused as to why this girl was staring at him but as always Koujaku never really left a stone unturned

Celestria

The woman continued to stay seated and opted to simply observe. She watched a new-comer enter the bar, catching her glance but only for a moment. Her facial expression didn't change at all, her eyes just kept their vision focused on the new guy. She noticed half of his face was covered by a lengthy fringe which faintly made her wonder as to whether he was hiding something under it. He could of lost an eye or maybe half of his face? Why else would a person cover their face? Maybe he just felt like it. Celestria had no clue but didn't dwell on any of her assumptions, however, she kept watch, even as he walked closer to her and stopped at the table she was sat on. Currently, Celestria had both hands clasps together on top of the table as she regarded the new-comer. "No. Your appearance is aesthetically pleasing." Her voice continued it's monotonous, eerily calm tone. Her eyes never shook it's hold, still placed on the gentleman in front of her.

Koujaku looked at the girl who just seemed to continue staring at him, her eyes never breaking away just staying fixated on him...it was kinda freaky yet it wasn't, perhaps it was because she had such incredible eyes? wait what was he thinking!? that's not the sort of thoughts you have about someone you quite literally just met! "O-Oh well thank you...I guess" Koujaku then raised his right hand to the back of his neck and rubbed it a little as he spoke once again "I. Uh...yeah guess i could say the same about you" Koujaku had picked up on the girls tone and expression and how she seemed just...neutral about everything, yet this was interesting...he hadn't met anyone like this before

Angelo saw a quick flash of someone running into an alleyway do he silently walked towards the alleyway taking a peak at the person touching parts of the wall. It must have been because he made secret passages in the walls that he was able to elude us for so long. he remembered the captain words to not engage and just confirm he was here but I didn't see the blue hair that he described it just seemed very suspicious that once I started to ask around this was the first guy to run into an alley if he isn't the target he will know how to find it

"What District has the most populous currently I wonder. It's best to tak-" The man stopped after getting the feeling that he was being watched as the wall formed into a door. "Well I guess should just start from scratch and be smart this time around." He concluded with a small smile on his face before walking through the door while leaving it open for any unwelcome guests. Moving forward inside would reveal a long staircase that leads all the way down to a cave like complex.

Celestria

She watched the lips of the gentleman as he spoke, observing how they moved to accommodate his words. After he had finished his sentence, Celestria finally tore her eyes away to look straight at nothing in particular. "Thank you." She stated within the same tone as usual. Grabbing her deck of cards, she began shuffling them. Her shuffling looked rather impressive, she didn't even look at the cards as she shuffled, creating rainbow-like effects with the cards. There was no reason for her to do this, but she did it anyway since she felt like it. "You make me think of a rose petal drifting through a sea of dandelions as they spread their seeds haphazardly." Celestria stated before her eyes landed on the gentleman once more, her stare a little more lighter than before but her face still neutral.

Koujaku watched the girl as she watched him then she looked away as she grabbed the deck of cards at the table and began shuffling them, clearly showing she had skill which must of meant she was good with card games also then he listened to what she said next, it took him a few seconds to understand what she said but he at least thought he got what she meant "Oh thank you again?" Koujaku said his tone almost expressing a slight confusion as he then finally sat down when the girl looked at him "Well...you must be something special also seeing as the first person I noticed when I came here was you.." Koujaku wasn't really trying anything he was just trying to compliment the girl back..although that he wasn't exactly good at "Oh the names Koujaku by the way, it's a pleasure to meet you..."

His snoring suddenly stopping as he opened one of his yellow and black eyes peering right at Nana. He then sat up and stretched his arm while yawning. Still looking at her, he then suddenly grinned. "Ahhh about time I saw you without that annoying eye patch." Ryutaro said moving out of bed and put his clothing on. He then moved over to a book case and pulled on a book which activated a switch making the book case turn around, revealing where he puts his Zanpakuto. Once he took it and the bookcase turned around again, he looked at Nana. "What? Don't you have a place where you keep your Zanpakuto?"

As usual Ryutaro found something new to say to her about her body. Today it was the eye, though to be fair she'd always worn her eyepatch. With a little sigh she blinked her good eye and put the eye patch back on. The skin underneath it gave a little protest before the dull ache settled back into her face. Watching him work the book case made her lift one eyebrow before she laughed. "Of course I don't. It stays down on the mats with me." She bent over and picked up her Zanpakuto, pushing it through the loop of her tie around her waist. "So,...I don't have a mission today...finally. Should we go train maybe? Or go to see if their are any missions to do?" She rested one hand on the hilt of her sword, tracing the delicate designs with her thumb.

Celestria

Celestria watched the man introduce himself and attempt to compliment her back as he took a seat. "It would be rather difficult for any of us to ignore a penetrative stare. You deal with such situations well it seems. Celestria is what I have been named." She continued to shuffle her deck of cards as watched the one now known as Koujaku. "One who goes by the name of Koujaku, care to inform me of your business here? In no means of attempting to sound stereotypical, I think one such as yourself is much too graceful to spend time here without reason." Her words rolled off of her tongue, each said in the exact same tone as the last. After a moment of continuing to shuffle, she stopped, placing her deck back in it's position on the table, satisfied.

Koujaku listened to the Celestria then nodded "That is true..and well I try. Ah I see...Celestria, that's a name I've never heard of before but it's one that sounds...elegant" Koujaku then listened once more as Celestria spoke, her tone seemed so neutral but Koujaku found that interesting "Well I just came here to relax. There aren't many places around here where you can relax which is why I tend to move around the bars here so I can find one that is at least moderately peaceful, it's not wrong to want a soothing drink to yourself to wind down is it?...However..I could say the same about you Celestria...what brings you to a place like this?" Koujaku found the way this women spoke captivating, and the way she looked...he couldn't pry his eyes off her, she seemed like something else...something incredible

Ryutaro frowned when she put the eye patch back on. It kind of wanted to make him take it back off, but she would probably get ticked about that, so he left it alone and only frowned more when she started laughing about his bookcase hiding his zanpakuto. "One of these days I should hide it, then you will wish you had a hidden bookcase. "And I was going to go experiment, thats what Squad twelve is for the most part, and when you dont have a mission you want to go ask someone for a mission......" Ryutaro simply sighed at this. "Besides when i train I go all out, so unless you want to be apart on Akuma no Spida's little game then training might not be wise."

"I can understand why you'd think the name has an elegant ring to it. Indeed it is unusual. I prefer that." Celestria's posture was perfect; her back was straight, eyes holding eye-contact with Koujaku as he spoke. "That is a fair reason why you would be spotted here. Experience tells me that the atmosphere, for the majority of the time, is as calm as a flat-line. My reasoning for being here is obvious; card games." She lifted a hand to gesture towards the deck she had recently shuffled and the stack of poker chips she had recently won. "Games involving cards are a simplistic passion of mine for more reasons than one. I perfect my skills through challenging and being challenged. There are various types of card games I play, all require tactics as well as high-risk strategies, perhaps more than if one were participating in a game of, for argument's sake, chess or checkers. Occasionally, I would take the time out to enjoy a game of both." Once she had finished speaking, she returned her hands back into a clasped position, eyes still fixed on Koujaku's, analysing them.

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.

She giggled when Yu walked up and kissed her on the cheek then scratched Meowgi behind the hair, when he spoke she looked over at Amaya, "Yes yes it is," she said with a soft laugh, "She has allot of energy....But she's getting older, and I could leave her with someone as I'm almost fit to go on missions again. It was nice taking a break from it all, caring for her, but I am still third seat and need to do my job. Of course she comes first." She let out a small breath and gently leaned against Yu, her head against his chest.

Kenta coughed into his hand, moving it he looked down seeing blood on his hand. Not now, it was supposed to last a week atleast! Kenta thought as he wiped the rest of the blood from his mouth. During the year he had been working non-stop, and training, hardly had any time for sleep. His eyes had drooped a bit due to the lack of sleep and it was recently catching up to him. The stress of work, the stress of reaching his goal, the stress of covering for Hikari....It was all getting to him. He kept it hidden from Rio, and Captain Kuchiki, kept himself together around them. Squad four was the place he went to weekly so they could work on him, atleast stop him from dying from the fucking stress for a little bit. He stood up putting his pen down, being the Lieutenant....It was a place he never really wanted, or aimed for. He remembered the time back at dinner with Rio....Captain Kuchiki....Kuroda....Mieke....Expressing how much he didn't care for ranks, now look at where he was, pretty much risking his health for the position, atleast he took it seriously. He looked around, still more paperwork, after the trip to Squad four. Strapping his Zanpakuto around his chest he walked out the barracks and to Squad four, inside he tried keeping himself together, "It didn't last the whole week, I think it's getting worse," he said with a normal cough.

Gustavo started to relax, expecting Giovanni to start heading off to the academy, when suddenly Koyo jumped up to his spot. She moved her leg in a lazy like manner, but it was enough to catch him off guard, and make him fall off the rooftop, and hit his head on the floor below. By the time he recovered, and started to stand up, she started to ask Gustavo and Giovanni if they were going to be lazy all day, or if they were going to do something productive, and then proceed with a taunt. Gustavo looked up at her and smiled, "to be fair I was planning on going to grab a mission latter on, after some relaxation, but now that that's over, then I guess I might as well pick up one early." He completely ignored her taunt, but it still annoyed him slightly, simply because he hated the idea that he would lose captain to someone else. He looked over at Giovanni, "You might as well join us, I mean this would be your perfect chance to get to know your fellow squad members" he laughed slightly, and continued "or do you 'still want to feel young again'."

" I still have no plans so i cant really say no." he sighed "sure lets grab a mission and see where we wind up" he want upset about the turn of events. like he aid, it wasn't like he had any plans or something else to do. Also, Gustavo had a point, it would be a good opportunity to get to know them better. Even though they were all in the same squad and were close in rank they didnt actually associate much. Giovanni spent a lot of his focus on the kido corps and the entire merging of the two units. Through that he got to know a lot of peoples personalities but didn't get to know them personally. This was a decent chance to rectify that so there was really no reason to pass it up.
