[Quote=AbigailTenshi] Nishiki was on her pursuit to her room when she was unexpectedly stopped. She was about to tell the person to find her later since she had important business to attend to, Shiro wanted muffins waiting for him and therefore she must make him muffins to fulfil his muffin-fix. However as she turned to look at the guy, she chose to just hear him out since he looked serious. After hearing that the message was from high up, she assumed from Squad One since she doubted any of the other one of the Squads would refer to themselves as ' very high up' compared to Squad Eleven. Crossing her arms, the second he mentioned Shiro...was dead... Her eyes shot wide. "... Wh-what?" Nishiki asked, seeming upset but soon that turned into anger. "... My Captain isn't dead.... TELL ME WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED RIGHT NOW!" She yelled, stepping a little closer to him while her face grew with noticeable rage. "Don't give me that 'confidential' shit either!... Actually, better yet, tell me who sent you, they're from Squad One aren't they?!" She continued to yell and would not believe her Captain was dead... Never... There was no chance in hell of that happening! And whoever sent this guy to tell her such a thing was asking for death... How dare they tell her such a thing.... [/Quote] As the messenger listened while still looking down, the response he got was one that was shocking, instead of getting upset she got angry, this caused his eyes to widen as he looked up to see her step closer to him, this caused him to lean back a little as he spoke nervously "I-I'm sorry I don't k-know w-what happened, I-I was just told t-to deliver t-the bad news. H-Honest! I-I also can't tell you w-who sent me! " He knew Squad 11 was filled with crazy people but he didn't think they'd be THIS crazy! denying what she just heard? he was just delivering the news he was ordered to. A hand would then rest on Nishiki's left shoulder as a familiar voice then spoke "Calm down Nishiki, I sent him..." when Nishiki would turn she'd see Shiro yet he would appear different, his massive Zanpakuto gone, replaced by a standard sized Katana strapped next to his left hip, his hair shorter and now black and a Tattoo of what looked like lightning going from ear to ear across his face, he also now had various piercings. "Here I was thinking you'd cry, I guess your more Squad 11 than I thought...that makes me proud" Shiro said a wide grin forming on his face, he then looked over to the messenger and spoke "You can leave now...you've done what you were paid for" Without a word the man ran for his life out of the barracks. no doubt what Nishiki heard would confuse her but it was all set-up by Shiro...he just wanted to see how she would handle such news...clearly she had a lot of faith in the fact he'd live through anything...this made him sure of his choice to choose her as his Lieutenant
