Kyoichi chuckled and replied "Yes Ma'am. I don't dare to venture out of my barracks without them done now, not after what happened last time when you caught me drinking while I still had paperwork to do..." He rubbed the back of his head in shame. When he saw the head captain's hand motion, he naturally followed. If there was one person in soul society beside himself who he will blindly follow, it was the frail looking old woman in front of him...

Shunpo-ing behind the group, he noticed that they were approaching Squad Twelve. Even when he was small, his elders raised him to be mindful of anyone involved with that squad directly. However, they were with the head captain this time, so his mind was put at a bit more ease than usual. When the head captain showed but a glimpse of her powers, Kyoichi took several steps back just to observe. When the tunnel was made, he silently stepped forth and followed it down towards the center of the Earth.

The atmosphere was dark and their surrounding certainly darker. The fifteen minutes that it took them to make it to the end of the tunnel felt like nothing, as Kyoichi was too preoccupied with stepping into Squad Twelve physically to think about the passing time. When they reached the bottom, a door opened and when it did, everyone could feel the temperature drop drastically. Kyoichi has always embraced the cold, but not this kind. This kind of cold carried the smell of death with it, something that made Kyoichi very defensive and on edge. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see a small shimmer of light, like that of metal in a dim light. After that, he sensed the killing intent flowing outwards from what is certainly the mysterious captain of Squad Twelve.

Out of nothing but pure instinct, Kyoichi placed his hand on the handle of his sword and drew it ever so slightly. Remaining rather silent while Koyoshi stepped up to stand next to the head captain, he replied to the question of the captain of Squad Twelve with "Hello Captain Murakami, I'm Kuroda of Squad Five..." and that was it. It was quite obvious to see that he was suppressing his own spirit pressure. While not the strongest, his fighting abilities is nothing to scoff at either.

He also is certainly not one to back down in terms of showing killing intent or the will to fight...
