Mukei finally made it to the crowd with Zheng, listening to the news about a captain dying. His face remained the same. He knew of Captain Kuchiki but that didn't matter to him. All he did was let out a sigh "How disappointing" He said to himself as he turned to Zheng "Now do you see what's happening Zheng? We're at war...and we're losing." He said before turning back to the Head Captain. He didn't show emotion the entire time, rather he didn't know what to do. Why were people getting so upset over a death? Emotions. He never really quite got them. But he played along with everyone else and showed some sign if regret and sadness.

For only that period of time Zheng had nothing to say to his friend. It was frustrating not because they had lost an important ally, but because of how powerful he was. Losing a captain such as Kurisa only meant that there are enemies out there far more powerful and far more cunning to defeat him. It was unsettling to say the least. 

Two days later the young shinigami arrived back at squad 12 barracks. They were supposed to make their little exchange for their deal. He would get his mod soul training partner and Mukei would have his way with his zanpukto's ability of becoming apart of him, which is unusual to say the least. He wandered down the halls in search for him though he ended up just getting lost. "God dammit...just where the hell is that guy?" He asked himself out loud.
