Giovanni made himself a bit to comfortable. With reports fling in by the second it was hard not to get overwhelmed. His headache persisted but he worked through it. In light of the reports he was getting, it was imperative that lives be saved. He was informed about the defection of several shinigami, the head captain included, but as a 3rd seat he was allowed not to care. It was an upper level matter that at the moment didn’t concern him. While he admired the head captain and would probably be furious wen the headache went away he simply continued coordinating relief effots via hell butterflies, and transmission kido. The Kido corps was doing amazing in assisting squad four relief efforts. Their cooperation and kido expertise made them outstanding in this situation, and even the rest of squad 5 was helping out as as best they could.

Slowly Giovanni stood up and found his way out of the building so that he too could assist in what ever way he could. For the life of him he couldn’t remember what he had hope to speak to the captain of squad 12 about but it didn’t matter now. Now there was work to be done and a chance to see Nurse Flawless.

An old man, wearing a white cloak and a giant mane of wild black hair, was staring into a pot of horrendous looking liquid. Or the daily Hell special as he would call it. He sat on a massive black rock pillar, towering over the many others. The old man looked displeased and in some type of stress, scratching the hairs on his chin as he lifted his spoon. On the spoon was a bone, with a crack right down the middle of it "This is bad, I've never seen an omen this bad before. Something is going on in the living world, someone is planning something big. This is not good, not good at all" "Whats not good sensei?" A young, maturing voice said from behind. The old man's brow twitched Dammit to Hell He turned, looking back to see his apprentice, Hozumi who was now in his early teens. Hozumi was clearly out of breath, sweat dripping down his body as he struggled to lift the two giant boulders that were attached to him. They were a training tools that the old man gave him. He finally managed to get them up on the pillar as his sensei began speaking "You're not good, I thought I was gonna die of boredom from taking so long. How long did it take you to get up here? 4 days? I expected 1 day from my pupil, maybe I should of left you for dead instead of picking you up" He said, picking his nose with his pinky and flicking off whatever he found with it to the side. Hozumi had suspicious looking eyes, examining his sensei "You're telling the truth, but that wasn't what you were talking about huh!" The old man's brow twitched again "Anyways, where's Lucy? Hozumi shrugged "She said she had to finish some business and that she'll be back in a week or so....WAIT A MINUTE!!" He yelled, pointing at his sensei "You're trying to distract me huh!" Little runt catches on The old man thought as he dipped the spoon back in the stew and stood up. In no time, he was in front of Hozumi "Do you really wanna know?" Hozumi grinned, nodding multiple times "Yes!" "Okay I'll tell you, if you make it back up here in 12 hours" He said as he softly kicked one of the boulders. The giant boulder went flying off the pillar and plummeting down. Hozumi's eyes widened quickly, as he turned to his sensei to speak some last words "YOU BETTER NOT BE LYING!!" He yelled as the boulder yanked him off the pillar, sending him falling downwards back into the darkness below. The other boulder was yanked off the pillar while the old man walked back over to his stew. He took out a spoon full and took a sip "That should keep him occupied for a couple of days"

12 Hours later

The old man was performing a strange ritual, black smoke rising from the same pot. He sat in a meditation position, speaking ancient and unknown words, unable to spoken by the modern day tounge. The middle of the smoke began to crystalize and form a black mirror. Suddenly, multiple images began to appear in mirror. He continued to speak in the strange language, until he heard someone struggling and making loud noises of agony. His concentration was broken as the mirror shattered to pieces. He sighed as he stood up, turning to see a small hand grab the edge of the pillar. He walked over to the edge, looking down and seeing Hozumi struggling to get up. But yet, Hozumi kept a wide grin on his beat up and bruised face "Hehe, I made it" The old man smirked "I'm gonna be honest, I thought you would be dead by now. But the reason why you're still alive exceeds my own knowledge He sighed, walking over to the pot and sitting down as Hozumi struggled to get up. "Take a seat" Hozumi raised an eyebrow "Um, the rocks?" The old man gave him a death glare "Take. A. Seat." Hozumi hurried in front of him, sitting down while struggling to not get flung off the giant pillar again. The old man looked at Hozumi for a while, scratching his chin and thinking of what to say. He opened his mouth a few times, but would close it back up. Hozumi sat in silence "....well?" The old man sighed "How do I say this, everyone you knew and loved is dead" Hozumi's eyes quickly widened, but before he could react the old man spoke again "Just kidding! I heard its better to deliver false worse news before the bad news is delivered. Did it work?" Hozumi stared at his sensei, his eyes twitching and holding himself back from attacking the old man. Not that he would have a chance in winning "Whats the bad news then?" "Well to be honest, its not just one thing. Many bad things have been happening. Although I can't get the full details since I'm bound to Hell, I can get the general gist of whats going on...it would seem as though the evil has been growing stronger. Not only that, but there is much turmoil in your former home, the Seireitei" Hozumi interrupted "What happened?! Is my mother and family okay?!" The old man scratched his chin once again, finding it soothing "As I said before, I don't know the specifics. But...there's a certain individual who disturbs me. Just the sensation and energy from this being is spine chilling. And it just keeps on growing. It was the same being that killed your father Hozumi" Hozumi's eyes widened. He wanted to ask who, but knew it would be pointless. Instead, he bit his lip "And this person is probably way stronger than me huh" The old man nodded. Hozumi sat in silence "But there's more. I've noticed something else Hozumi, something inside of you. Staying inside of Hell has stunted your overall growth rate. By now, you should of already had the body of a full adult and strength of atleast a captain. Something just doesn't add up" Hozumi stood up, looking away as a scorching hot hellish wind passed them. But Hozumi showed no reaction to it "Is there something I can do to fix it?" The old man scratched the back of his head "Well yes, but in your current state....you'll die without a doubt. To be quite frank, only a single person has accomplished which you wish to do. And that person is the ruler of this entire domain, the same man who brought you here. Tartaros, the ruler of Hell" The old man stood up and walked over to the edge. Hozumi followed and did the same, struggling not to fly off with the hang boulders that were attached to his waist. The old man placed his hand on Hozumi's shoulder, looking down at him with a smile "Don't worry Hozumi, I'll find another way to get both you and Lucy out of Hell. So for now, survive" He said, giving Hozumi a push off the pillar once again. Hozumi cursed and yelled as he plummeted downwards into the unknown. The old man chuckled and smirked. He jumped off the cliff, falling downwards to go make sure his apprentice didn't die yet

Angelo was no captain he was simply a member of squad 2 a member of the stealth force but if the so called 'new captain' was going to lead and order the stealth squad Angelo wouldn't do a damn thing for him without knowing the reasons. Angelo knows that traitors can have lies under lies but still Angelo does know that what the man said about them needing a head captain was right on its mark knowing that without a head captain the squads would probably bicker and fight about who deserves to be the head captain while the entire seretai would be put into chaos because their was no head captain to speak of. Angelo will let the man lead but if the shinigami even thinks of betraying the seretai Angelo will not hesitate to make sure the mans head rolls and gets put on a pike this time (metaphorically speaking).

Angelo simply left and went to the library again but this time Angelo put his sling back on since his battle with one of those arrancars his arm started to feel pain again. Angelo needed to take it easy otherwise his shoulder at the very least might pop off. The last thing Angelo needed while researching criminals was to end up fighting without an arm, Angelo needed to heal faster so he went to the squad 4 barracks and asked to be healed again so he could recover faster or at least repair the damage to his arm from the battle he went through...

Giovanni assisted to the best of his ability and doing what ever he could. Ultimately he ended up at the squad four barracks to check on his squad mates. He wasnt sure if it was normal for high seated officers to visit their men in the hospital but he really didnt care. Sure there was the 7% chance he was looking for a certain Nurse's flawless ass and a 12% chance he was trying to get some sort of relief for this migraine that was still trying to kill him. But he did see all his men that he was able to. The losses were heavy for squad 5 in particular, which only made Gio feel worse for not being conscious during the fighting. There was no guarantee he would have been able to do anything for his men but the feel still ate away at him. New has spread to the hospital already about the "betrayal" and tempers were flaring. a lot of people felt very strongly about the abrupt change in leadership. If the information he got at the Nurses station was correct then the Seireitei was now down 2 more lieutenants and a head captain. and someone else no one recognized but that was slightly besides the point.

"so wait" Gio asked the man at the station " so now we have....what? 5 or six captains out of 13. and" he counted on his fingers "4 lieutenants. and a shit ton of others... thats not good" he would have said more but he had to step out of the way so another shinigami with a busted up looking arm could be seen by the man.

Juki looked at the Shinigami and listened as some spoke. Juki looked over to Yu who spoke of himself being the Lieutenant of Squad 1 "I see...then you will keep your position however it will become shared. Ritsuna my assistant will take on the duty of the Squad 1 Lieutenant also, between the two of you a decent job can be done." Juki looked over the Shinigami there and noticed a familiar face however he decided not to pay to much attention to this, instead his attention was snatched away by a loud mouth Shinigami "Yeah...let's see how strong you really are!" Juki looked over to tall red haired man with the large Zanpakuto then narrowed his eyes and spoke "Oh? Please...do try" Shiro grinned at this then ran towards Juki then leaped into the air, his Zanpakuto held behind his head as he then swung down at Juki only for his Zanpakuto to be stopped effortlessly by Juki's index finger on his right hand. Juki then spoke as he looked Shiro in the eyes "You may have a great deal of spiritual energy but your Zanpakuto is blunt...due to you not being able to truly refine your spiritual energy stopping a Zanpakuto like this for me is childs play." the tip of Juki's index finger then let off a red spark that then travelled down Shiro's Zanpakuto and to his body forming a small red Aura around him, holding him in place. Juki then spoke once again as he took his finger off of Shiro's Zanpakuto and unsheathed his own "Allow me to show you true difference between us..." Juki gently raised his Zanpakuto to Shiro's chest then lightly pressed his Zanpakuto against his chest and lightly and slowly cut across, the wound forming was deep though. What would be a light scratch was a deep cut. Juki then sheathed his Zanpakuto then spoke once again "I had to hold back greatly...if I hadn't, that light scratch would have led to you splitting in two...even though I attempted a light scratch the wound ended up deeper than expected. You may be strong to everyone else...but to me...you are an ant, the very fact I must hold back so that I do not kill you with a simple scratch shows how wasted that strength is...if you want to become strong then you will come to me for training. I will not have such a weak Shinigami wear the Squad 11 Captain's Haori...nor will I have such a pathetic Kenpachi in my Gotei 13. Juki then raised his left hand to the wound on Shiro's chest and with a quick glow the wound closed up, Juki then extended his index finger towards Shiro then used sho to send him flying back at quite an immense speed, enough to send him crashing into a building. Juki once again then spoke "Now do you see why you were all loosing so easily? your so called Head Captain was convincing you all that you were getting stronger, much stronger than you are...yet in truth you are weak...in the ideal Gotei 13 the Captains should not be the strength of a Captain...they should be double that...the Lieutenants should be at least able to take on what would be considered Captain class enemies...however this is far from the case. There have been many generations of the Gotei 13...the first was by far the most ruthless...yet it was far from the strongest. As time went on Captains would come and go, none truly worthy to wear their Haori's...only a few deserved to wear them...most of those Shinigami ascended to greater heights...some were forced away for fear they would turn bad, some assassinated because of their power...the previous Head Captains and Central 46 have clearly neglected the true strength of Shinigami for fear they would become victims of their power...With no central 46 and poor excuse of a Head Captain gone we can create the ideal Gotei 13...one in which the enemies we stand against fear, and one in which the people we protect feel truly safe...Prepare yourself Shinigami...your lives are about to change drastically..." Juki then slammed the tip of his cane into the roof of the building he stood on, a large green light then emitted from it blinding everyone. When they would awake the Seireitei would be in perfect condition, their wounds healed and they would awake to A New Dawn

Nishiki Kalemoru

"Hhmm..."

Laying on her back, the softness of her bed cradled her body as Nishiki watched the ceiling. Her mind was however elsewhere, making her unaware of her surrounding for a few moments. After silence filled her room for a while, Nishiki suddenly sat up, her hands placed on her bed as her back arched forward a little, eyes to the floor. An idea had came to mind, but instead of her usual cheerful smile being plastered on her face whenever she gained an idea, there was distance behind her eyes while her face was empty without any trace of emotion. Of course this was odd for Nishiki, but the reason behind her behaviour was a rather serious to her after all.

Standing, Nishiki grabbed her Zanpakuto and strapped it to her body before leaving the room without a sound. Seeping through the cracks of Squad Eleven members, Nishiki kept quiet, moving as fast as possible without rushing; basically walking briskly. Once outside, she travelled the area she had in mind, flattening her perky attitude to not draw any attention to herself for once, even when she spotted familiar faces.... Instead of greeting them and getting in to some small talk before getting back to her task, she ignored them fully. 'Here it is... Woooow, looks... Grand? Yeah, grand!' Eyeing the building for a moment, Nishiki stepped inside to find herself already surrounded by shelves and more shelves stacked to the heavens with an extremely, almost seemingly impossible, vast variety of books.

"Wow, I already fell smarter!-" "-Shhhh!" Nishiki looked over to her left to find a desk, a Shingami behind it sending her a sharp dirty look. Nishiki looked at the guy, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "Oh right, I forgot I'm meant t-" "Young lady this is a Library! Be quiet or get out." Harsh words were angrily whispered by the librarian followed by another dirty looked. Nishiki pouted at this, finding the hostile behaviour rather mean and uncalled for. "Alright alright, I'm sorry sheesh..." Nishiki whispered back before directing her attention back to the shelves. 'Well... What I'm looking for has to be somewhere in here, that's almost certain' Taking further steps inwards, Nishiki began scanning the shelves, finding there to be way too many books to scroll through...

'Hnnng, I'm never going to find what I want!' About two shelves in, Nishiki felt like taking a break for now and starting again later, she was too impatient to be searching shelves for more than 30 minutes at a time. Instead, Nishiki decided to grab a book that was way far off what she was looking for.... but the title seemed of grabbed her interest. 'Hmmm... A Trapped Flower, the memoirs of a wife who yearned for freedom after being forced into marrying a mad man.... Well, could be an interesting story' While admiring the caged and slightly withered Orchid illustration on the front of the book , Nishiki found herself a seat in one of the more empty quiet areas... well, more or less empty since there were only about three people within this area. She planked her bottom down in a seat before opening the book and flicking to the first page.

Making it to the third page, her eyes continued to scan the writing. Nishiki found herself gripped into the cluster of words, wondering what might happen next after every passage. It wasn't until she turned the page, momentarily back to reality when she spotted the guy she sat opposite from. Nishiki raised an eyebrow while watching the guy read from over the top of her book, however she kept quiet, still planning to get back into the story soon... She was just distracted by the guy's hairstyle. 'Hmm, he looks cute, but with hair like that, I bet he's a little hmm, maybe the hostile type? Smart but mean maybe? Hmmm...' She didn't mean to but it seemed as though Nishiki's trait to be easily distracted made her more interested in figuring out the guy across from her instead of returning to her story.

Giovanni had his work cut out for him for sure. The entire three months had been spent training everyone, himself included. The regiment was once again made more rigorous. For his squad it meant less patrols and a lot more work. The kido corps began the process of being militarized, in that they would be available for combat.
Since Gio’s personal experience in fields outside of Kido was limited he allowed the more experienced members of his squad to lead the training exercises. However for the most part he drilled them on endurance and technique. Additionally he required them all to attend the kaido classes offered at the squad 4 barracks at least once a month so the would have a basic level of healing kido. They worked on a rotating style schedule: Zanjutsu, hado, zanjustu, Bakudo, day off. And then repeat. The squad was broken into 5 not so randomly assigned units and rotated between the trainings by day. The day off wasn’t actually a day off though, it was a day for Patrols and assignments really. Just a day off of training.

He trained along with his own men, but of course he trained on his own. He pushed himself harder and harder, never being sure what the next day would bring. His skills in Zanjutsu have improved because of it as well as use of shunpo. Everyone still has room for improvement but that’s the promise that each day holds for squad 5. The hope to get better.
The training has been paying off its own way. The missions and assignments that the squads receive have all been successes. But right now is real test

Current mission

Angelo was focused as he trained and learn something each day as the months rolled by after the incident of the arrancars. Angelo felt useless since he didn't contribute to the end result of the battle so he went to work strengthening himself, and each day Angelo would go to the library to read any at all criminology books their were so Angelo would learn more about the people that took his sister. Angelo may be an officer of squad 2 but he was the 7th seat which wasn't much considering the responsibilities given to his other squad mates that have gotten higher ranks then him but that was also a blessing in disguise considering Angelo was able to learn and train at his own pace. Angelo had a captain and a second in command to help him now but that didn't mean Angelo would rely on them, Angelo would constantly get stronger physically and mentally becoming more in tuned with his zanpacto while he also exercised to make sure that he can handle a battle if a part of his body isn't up to it like his arm was and be able to at least give his enemy a run for their money.

At the moment Angelo was in the squad two barracks drinking his morning tea before he would go to the training grounds and practice his stealth techniques and practicing to have more stealth and keep quiet before he would strike his enemy, Angelo needed to get better and get higher up in the ranks when he could get the chance. Angelo would never give up working harder but he would always put the safety of the seretai first if he had to. Angelo was contemplating his day and how he would practice....

Kazuya was where he always was these days, at the library...he had read a vast majority of the books they had to offer as he wanted to cram his head full of knowledge. Kazuya did however contemplate whether or not he was just wasting his time...after all he didn't like to fight and confrontation wasn't a strong suit of his, then again if he was forced into it being able to avoid using his Shikai at all costs was better than simply giving in or going in unprepared for the worst...Kazuya then suddenly felt an odd wave of tingling pass over his body, it was almost like it burnt a little...he knew this feeling however...the feeling of someone looking at him. Kazuya was far to shy to just look up and so he just raised his book, covering his face as to try calm his nerves...even someone looking at him was quite scary...let alone someone talking to him and if they touched him...he'd freak out...the very thought made him blush a little...only because he was so shy and things like that were odd to him

Nishiki Kalemoru

After a few minutes of idly staring at this guy, Nishiki realised what she was doing. Just as she was going to return to her book, the guy lifted his, hiding his face. 'Did he notice me?' Nishiki wondered, cocking an eyebrow while still looking at this guy. She didn't know what to expect if she were to say something, but then again, if this guy was mean he probably would of told her to stop looking at him or simply to fuck off. She didn't receive either responses which made her wonder, with only a smidgen of curiosity. This curiosity lead to smirk.

Sitting up straight, Nishiki snapped her book closed, making a loudish sound that the guy opposite her would certainly notice. Looking around her to find that the other people who were here seemed to of relocated, Nishiki gently placed her book down before standing up, causing her chair to scrape across the floor. All of these noise were to test the guy opposite her, see if he'd react, her learning forward with her palms on the table was for a different reason. Nishiki leaned her head towards his book, reading the cover while keeping silent, glancing up every now and then to look at the guy closely, wanting to see what he'd do once he caught sight of her. If the guy swung at her, she'd Shunpo before be could hit her face, that was her back-up plan incase he was the hostile type. Smirking quietly, Nishiki continued to read and re-read the cover of the guy's book, waiting for him to spot her.

Outside of the SRDI, in one of the very few garden areas which had a small stream running through it stood two tree's and between them was a hammock that seemed to made of Kido, laying in the hammock was Kagiko, his hat over his face to block out the sun as he slept silently and peacefully. He really enjoyed these breaks, they were good...Zero however did not...within a 24 hour day you could bet Kagiko would sleep or slack of for at least 18 of those hours and while what little work he did was excellent, truly impressive even to Zero it was rather a shame he wasted his time sleeping but this was Kagiko...he worked hard when he had to and if he could get away and do the hard work later then he would...cause sleeping, relaxing...just...chilling in general was his favourite things to do...work sure...he liked it...but it was no fun doing it to long...

As Kazuya sat there, his face practically planted in his book he heard a loud noise which caused him to jump a little, then he heard a chair scrape across the floor...had she gone? no...something was off...he felt unease, as if someone was close to him...from behind his book he couldn't see and although curious he was a bit hesitant in what to do. Kazuya then gulped and lowered his book slightly just to peak over the top of it to see a woman looking right at him, and she was really within his personal space which made him jump so badly his chair fell back "WUAH!" causing him to thud to the floor, his book flying out of his hands and into the air. Kazuya then opened his eyes only to be met with his book landing open on his face...this whole scene was embarrassing and instantly he began to blush, thankfully the book was hiding this...once again, he dared not to remove the book from his face

It was another day for Nene, its been three months since the attack and of course she use d that attack to see if she could manipulate some of the swarm into helping the Seireitei, however, they ended up just doing nothing, until they were obliterated by some Kido, and today was no exception, she again tried her little test to see if she could tame a Hollow, but they of course ended up killing themselves before any real results came along. So Nene took a walk through one of the garden areas writing down her results when she saw someone laying in a hammock made of Kido, he was one of the new people that apparently came with the man known as Juki and was the new lieutenant of squad twelve. Quite casually she walked up to him, and noticed one of the bells moving. "Oh a way to be lazy and be able to pay attention, intriguing, but shouldn't you be working? If you don't I'm afraid you are going to have to play some games with me."

As Kagiko was laying in his hammock he was awoke by one of his bells ringing then he heard a woman speak about him being lazy this caused Kagiko to raise his right hand up a bit as he spoke "It's called a break, I'm just making the most of it...i'll get back to what I got to do eventually...not anything important anyway, just working on special kido and gadgets to use against arrancar...simple stuff you see...I can do it whenever." Kagiko then stretched a little before waving his left hand at Nene in a shoo motion "Anyway I'm sure you've got work to get on with, no time for games..."

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki continued to smirk deviously as she awaited being noticed, however she only managed to get a glimpse of the guy's eyes before he jumped, him and his chair falling to the floor as the book he was holding few into the air before landing on his face. The whole time Nishiki's eyes were wide, however she had a little trouble containing her giggles. After a sudden regain of composure, Nishiki jumped over the table and knelt down. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't expect-" "SHH!" Out of nowhere Nishiki was shushed between her sentence, causing her to whisper once more while lifting the book off the guy's face, lifting his chair be to the right position while helping him up. Giggling a little, Nishiki looked at the guy with smiling eyes. "My my, I didn't expect you to react like that. I guess it's better than getting hit since I was practically asking to get punched ehehe" Once the guy was able to stand once more, Nishiki let him go and placed the book on the table. "Again, I-I'm sorry" She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly while guiltily grinning. "I'm Nishiki Kalemoru by the way... em... may I ask for your name?" She looked at the male insistently. "And I'll have to make it up to you for scaring you.... Hmm... I know! Hit me. And don't worry, I can take a punch, I'm the Third seat of Squad Eleven after all" Nishiki turned her face and leaned her cheek towards the guy, closing her eyes and waiting for an impact.

"Is that so? A break huh? Well even if there isn't anything important its called using your mind for what you want. Independent experiments. Like what I do for example, when I don't have what you say anything important to do, i tried to tame hollows, of course they end up killing themselves before any real results. yet if its so simple, then a simple demonstration should be no problem for a man of your caliber correct? Well not like I'm giving you much choice." Nene said pointing to her shikai, ignoring his waving her off. "Easy mode, challenge is standing up for more than three hours. Reward is good luck, penalty is green hair for a day." Nene said with a smile, before a childlike voice spoke through the Zanpakuto. "The game is made, may all competitors do their best, even though its only easy ode ya bunch of babies. So boy laying down you got two minutes to stand up if not you automatically lose." The voice then went away, and Nene smiled and waved at him as she walked away a bit. "Oh and there is always a time for games."

Kagiko didn't move at all then suddenly he exploded into a cloud of smoke as he then appeared on a roof near Nene "My, My...interrupting a mans sleep like that is so rude...Well...seeing as I'm up I best go do some work...I'm sure something about taming hollows was on the to do list" Kagiko tapped his chin with his index finger from his right hand then shrugged "Well it's only a small task...I've studied hollows behaviour greatly so this should be a piece of cake...oh~ Cake...first I'll get some cake, study some hollows and get to work...should only a few minutes..." Kagiko then jumped off of the roof and put his hat on as he began walking away, his hands in his pockets as three of his clones appeared, one with cake, one with notes on hollows and one with some odd box "Ah job well done...by allocating some of my greatest traits to you, I was able to complete this in no time at all...Now...time to go test it..." The clones then poofed up in smoke as Kagiko then made his way into the holding chambers within the SRDI building

Nishiki continued to smirk deviously as she awaited being noticed, however she only managed to get a glimpse of the guy's eyes before he jumped, him and his chair falling to the floor as the book he was holding few into the air before landing on his face. The whole time Nishiki's eyes were wide, however she had a little trouble containing her giggles. After a sudden regain of composure, Nishiki jumped over the table and knelt down. "SHH!" Out of nowhere Nishiki was shushed between her sentence, causing her to whisper once more while lifting the book off the guy's face, lifting his chair be to the right position while helping him up.

Kazuya remained frozen then Nishiki pulled the book off his face and lifted him and his chair up, Kazuya looked down to try hide his blush and when she told him to hit her his eyes widened a little "N-No! I-I Wont do t-that!" Kazuya then clasped his hands together gently as he twiddled his thumbs. Why was this lady here? what did she want? why was she so close? it was all kind of freaky...at least to Kazuya...interaction...it was...so awkward

Its been another three months since Hozumi has been missing, which of course bummed Aya out greatly and somewhere along the line she just really couldn't forgive leaf for losing Hozumi in the first place and well that's how things ended between them. After the attack, plus all the betrayals that had happened it was clear they all needed to get stronger, mostly since the real threat was their old Head Captain. Aya always did want to fight him, and now she had a legit reason to fight him. She spent most of her days training in the woods as she never had to worry about any damage she might cause, as she would if she trained near the barrack. Kenji helped her train every now and then, and would cheer her up whenever she was too down in the dumps. Of course he was still brutally honest about things, yet it was something she grown use to. And today was no different, she was off in the woods again training.

Nene giggled and shrugged. "Work at squad twelve is truly never done, there is always something to do, and you had taming hollows on the to do list? Good luck, I tried over fifty ways, and they just kill themselves." Nene said yet would then show signs of confusion when he said it was a small task, and that he studied their behavior before. Then a little frustration as he had clones appear with all different items, and the way he acted, it seemed like he just completed what she had been attempting for months in the matter of a few seconds. As he walked away she stood there in silence her right eye twitching a bit. She then took a deep breath in and then followed behind him. She had a smile one but truly she was a bit annoyed. "Hey did you just complete what I've been attempting for months in the matter of a few minutes?"
