[quote=Kurisa] Juki decided to go out for a stroll towards the Squad 11 barracks, he needed to meet the Kenpachi and ask him something, as well as test something...he knew who he was already after he attacked Juki like a fool but this just meant he was doing his job...the primary attack force was Squad 11 duty and even though Juki was of no threat he did follow through with his duty regardless of the difference between them...although he knew this wasn't an act of bravery, it was just reckless and wanting a fight with someone who could give him a challenge...unfortunately Juki could not give Shiro a challenge as Juki stood in the heavens in terms of power...Shiro stood in hell...the gap between them was immense. However Juki planned to change this...it was no good having one of the strongest Captains much weaker than himself...this was a man who had to lead people into battle against the deadliest enemies and if the Kenpachi alone could not take on 2 or 3 strong enemies at the same time he did not deserve the title. Juki wanted Shiro to the level where he could fight two of those Arrancar at once maybe even three or at least one of the strongest they enemy had to offer. After much thought Juki found himself outside the Squad 11 barracks...it was just a mess, the place had been broken down and built back up then broken down and built back up over and over and clearly by not very good people. Juki let out a sigh seeing this but knew this was best, they'd only go and destroy something nice...it was like buying a child an expensive yet fragile toy, it is truly a waste of money and even effort...they only throw it on the ground and break it...in this case they will throw eachother into it and break it. Juki knew of a certain other person here he wanted to see but he'd refrain from this...it was best he didn't approach them. As Juki thought about things the sun was suddenly blocked out by a rather tall man, Juki looked up seeing the mans large red Zanpakuto and red hair "Ah Kenpachi Shiro...just the man I was looking for" Juki closed his eyes and smiled at Shiro while Shiro looked down at Juki then narrowed his eyes "" Juki then opened his eyes, narrowing them as he spoke "Now is that anyway to speak to the Head Captain? do you want me to make an example of you infront of your Squad Kenpachi Shiro?" Shiro just looked off to his right "" Juki sighed then scratched his head with the end of his cane before speaking "It's like asking a wall to be polite, I'm going to get nothing from it. Well I will let it slide this time but I do ask that you show more respect to me next time...after all...you wouldn't want to end up nothing more than a forgotten memory now would you? Who would remember such a weak Kenpachi...you'd be forgotten in an instant, you don't want that do you? you want to be the strongest Kenpachi correct?" listening to Juki speak caused Shiro to frown and grit his teeth as he looked down at Juki "" Juki chuckled then spoke "If I wanted to make a fool of you I wouldn't have to do much...the very fact that I could send you flying half way across the Seireitei using the weakest Hado is something that'd make you look like a fool. I'd want it so that the Captain of this Squad would laugh at my attempt to do such a thing and take it as if it was nothing..." Shiro raised an eyebrow at Juki then spoke "" Juki chuckled once again then spoke "Well first of all we need you to select a suitable Lieutenant to manage your Squad while you are away, because with the training I have planned for you...well you may be out of action for a few days...I'm going to break you down and build you back up as someone truly worthy of holding the title Kenpachi...afterall...you want to be strong enough to defeat your brother when you eventually find him and issue the challenge for who truly deserves to be Kenpachi..." Juki looked at Shiro with a smile while Shiro's eyes widened "" Juki chuckled then spoke "I know a lot about you Shiro...I also know your older brother, I remember meeting him in my travels....I also know where to find him...but if you ever want that information then you will do as I say from here on and will train when I tell you to. Are we understood?" Shiro's eyes remained widened for a moment longer before narrowing as he frowned and clenched his fists "" Juki nodded then spoke "Tomorrow...so I want you to decide on who will be your Lieutenant today, I'm sure you have a certain in mind" Juki then turned and began walking off "I look forward to training you Shiro...by the end of it you will be a truly feared Kenpachi..." Shiro grit his teeth as he thought about his brother for a moment...if Juki had met him then that had to of meant he knew his brother was much stronger than Shiro was...why else would he do this? unless he had his own motives...which was obvious but if this aided Shiro then he'd deal with this seriously...that bastard brother of his had to pay for what he did...and further humiliating him by challenging him for the title Kenpachi would make his death that much sweeter... [/quote] [b]"Ahhh!! Perfect!!"[/b] Nishiki held up a basket of fresh muffins, each one with their own flavour. [b]"Shiro should definitely like these~! There's the chocolate one, the blueberry one, the lemon one, the mango one, the strawberry one, the fudge one, the tomato one, the potato one annnnd, last but not least, the carrot one!"[/b] Grinning widely, Nishiki placed her basket on top of her counter before looking behind her, finding nine trays of muffins since she cooked each type of muffin in batches and picked out the best muffin to place in Shiro's basket. [b]"Hmmm, now what do I do with all of these muffins?.... I know! I'll give them out to the other Squads! I heard someone in Squad Thirteen likes potatos~ But first I should stop by Hikari's place and give him a batch as a late 'congrats on making Lieu~' gift"[/b] Giggling to herself, she made baskets out of the rest, putting one of each flavour within each basket so that those who she gave them to would have a variety of muffins to choose from. Once that was done, she placed them all on her table before walking back to her counter, picking up the perfect basket she made for her Captain before leaving her room. While following Shiro's spiritual energy and humming a tune, Nishiki found her Captain talking with someone else... That other person seemed to of said something to upset her Captain by the looks of things so she narrowed her eyes at their leaving form, disliking this person more as she walked up to Shiro. [b]"Cap'ain, what was that about? What was [i]he[/i] doing here?"[/b] She spoke hatefully as she referred to Juki. [b]"Whatever it was, ignore him. He's nothing compared to you. Now, these should cheer you up~"[/b] Walking around him to face the tall Kenpachi, Nishiki held out her offering. [b]"Since you like muffins, I thought I'd try something different and make a variety of muffins for you to try and tell me which ones you like and don't like~"[/b] Nishiki grinned at Shiro as she held out the basket for him to take.
