Gio smiled as he listened. "you can call me Giovanni, or Gio just not mr. Cain. that just sounds so weird." he drank from his cup "I actually from one ofthe richer sections. that shinigami pass through often. I got to meet a lot of them and i guess i kind of looked up to them" he pour himself another cup. "I guess enlightenment is a good thing to seek after. My parents didnt want me to become a shinigami actually but I wasnt about to stay home and be miserable dreaming about all the things i could have been. "

Shusuke gave a head nod and the 'ah' gesture, "So Gio, that's a cool name. Sorry about the Mr Cain thing, I can be a little off from time to time. At least I didn't call you butter cup or something." he said, laughing somewhat loudly. "I can respect your life though, you had more than most but wanted to make something for yourself, carve your own path. I like it." he said, now pouring another cup as well. Shusuke was pleased to have met someone who was down to earth, even if he likely met him a dozen times already during the academy. He then giggled for what seemed to be no reason.

Giovanni laughed with his new acquaintance. new might not have been the most appropriate word but who cares. "honestly i would rather have had less than i had growing up. I don't know how to explain it really but the less people have the happier they seem to be able to be. sure some people aren't happy but even I struggle with finding happiness in little things even though they make me feel better than the big things do. ya know?" Gio asked, he didn't pour himself another cup just yet, he let the first two settle in his stomach. it was nice to take a few moments to relax in such a serene friendly manner. He would have to make sure not to get so caught up in work that he couldnt appreciate the little things "like the cherry blossoms" he thought out loud, connecting his previous sentence. "they are so simple yet so calming."

Shusuke watched as people walked passed, the wind would blow from time to time and a handful of blossoms would flutter around. "I understand completely Gio." he said, taking note of his words. "I wonder how high we can go." he said, staring at the tree. He quickly added so as to not imply climbing the tree. "Once we're placed in our squad, once we've had the chance to make a name for ourselves. Do you ever think of stuff like that?" he asked, trying to keep the conversation going.

Gio nodded "of course I do. I dont know how high i'll get but I know i wont stop till i get there. Even if i have to bounce around from squad to squad till i get my life together and find my way. " now he poured that third cup but raised it to catch a cherry blossom petal in it. He wasnt sure why he did that but he did "where do you see yourself a year from now? " He asked as he stared at the floating petal in his cup. The small ripples in his cup held his attention but he was very aware of his surroundings. he listened to Shusuke even though for the moment he wasnt looking at him

"That's a good question." he said, now rubbing his fuzzy chin inquisitively. "I would like to think that I could at least get below the 15th seat or higher in a years time. My zanpakuto share a strong bond which I think is key to reaching higher and higher. Who knows though, only time will tell." he said, now finishing his cup of sake. "Perhaps things will turn out vastly different though, I could excel and beat my estimated goal or maybe I'll pale in comparison to my squad mates, guess we'll just have to see." he said with an honest smile,

tsushiro eyes the snake hollow carefully, watching its every movement. snake hollow:"you cant kill me, your weak."tsushiro:" thats what i want you to think."he uses shunpo, darting forward and slices horizontally towards the hollow's stomach, leaving a gash, that quickly heals.tsushiro:"as i presumed, you heal quickly.."suddenly, the hollow coils up around him tightly.snake hollow: "too easy.."

The man continued to walk onwards until he made it out of the Academy. "So now that that's over and done with, where should I go next?" A question of little importance filled his head, coming up with a solution soon after. "Excuse me sir!!!" A girl shouted, stopping him from shunpoing in the nick of time. "Yes? If this has anything to do with my explanation, then the woman who's currently in there will answer your question. I was only filling in for her so my solution to whatever that troubles you would pale in comparison to her's." The man noted. "I know but didn't you just pass from here not too long ago yourself? My friend's sister says that she saw you graduating along with her so why would they allow you to substitute for them when you're still a rookie Shinigami yourself?" The woman replied with a questioning like look on her face. "I did just graduate just recently so yes that's true but I think anyone that passes and is on good terms with the teachers here could do the same. I'm pretty sure she offered everyone else to do it before asking me anyway. Now enjoy your stay if you're planning to enroll and have a good time. Kirishin over and out." Kirishin concluded before shunpoing.

He reappeared somewhere in the Rukon district, where the place was home to many cherry blossom trees. "Amazing!! This district is one of the most violent in all of Soul Society yet the cherry blossoms never seem to get caught in the crossfire. How is that possible? Well whatever the case, I'll have to keep coming back here until I finally understand." He thought aloud, witnessing someone or rather someone being constricted by something that could be seen from afar. He slowly moved closer to the two so as not to interfere until his assumptions of what was going on was confirmed. "A Hollow involved in sexual intercourse with a Shingami? Well I'm not sure if that's some thing they do here but I'll give you two your privacy."

The rest of the squad were walking about getting ready for missions, doing chores, and other stuff. The spread was gone too. Another squad mate stopped in front of Sasha. "If you're looking for Captain Yu Xang he's on the roof of his office meditating."

Sasha waited for someone to tell her where the Captain was then someone sure enough did "Awesome! thanks person I don't know!" Sasha then ran outside and shunpoed up on to the roof and began running across it until she eventually found the Captain "Oh Captain~ got you a delivery!" Sasha set down the the small crate next to the Captain then scratched her head and remembered something "OH! The old man said something about a cage...it was kinda like this" Sasha then coughed and began speaking in her imitation of the old mans voice "The cage only makes it angrier! Raaaaaaaaaaaah!" Sasha then coughed once more before going back to her normal tone "I have no clue what he meant by that but oh well...I think I got the right stuff..."

the snake hollow turned to look at the newcomer, while tsushiro grinned.
tsuhiro:" rain hell from the heavens,ekidomaru!"
his shikai activated, and he pressured his blade against the snake hollows tail that had him gripped like a mouse caught by a python, cutting through it like butter, and the snake hollow screamed. in agony.
snake hollow:"you dirty little whore!"
tsuhiro:"you should reconsider your words."
tsushiro shunpoed over to the newcomer.
tsuhiro:" you up for fighting this thing with me?"
the snake hollow's tail grew back, as it made its way towards them, rather quickly.

Squad 3's MissionThe boy just missed the attack. He stood there as Hikari shunpo'd behind him, not turning around. Miyume seemed to get angry, and he simply smirked, knowing this would be to his advantage. She rushed in, but he suddenly disappeared, reappearing slightly to the right, the sword being held in an almost entirely different method as he swung it straight at Miyume's stomach. Ryan simply put up his guard, blocking the spiritual energy wave. "Focus... That blade will work the same way as those spiritual energy waves will... The more you control your energy, the more deadly it will be." He shunpo'd next to him, swinging the hilt of his zanpakuto at Shiro.John shunpo'd to the side, seeing the byakurai go past the general area he would have been. It seemed off from where he was exactly, like the captain was simply playing with him. He knew that's probably what he was doing, but in his shikai, it somewhat enraged him to think this. He sprinted directly at Kurisa, then curved his run slightly so that he would go right past him if he continued. He then shunpo'd forward a short distance to increase his speed, dropping onto his back as he went to slide towards him. He twisted his torso and pushed off the ground so that he would fly forward with his claws swinging in each direction.

Shiro

Shiro watched the Captain block his attack which angered Shiro slightly then he listened to what the Captain said and that was good an all but how the hell did he go about doing that!? he was trying as it was and if that was doing nothing then right about now he almost no hope!...but then...something clicked in Shiro's head...something he learned when in the Academy. He never took much notice of it but the teachers said it was the only time they had seen Spiritual energy used in such a deadly way...maybe it would be worth a try. Shiro watched the Captain and really following him was difficult but it was instinct that got him out of getting hit as he shunpoed back away from the Captain then once he stopped he held out his Zanpakuto then placed his left hand on it's hilt...something Shiro never did...not ever. However for some reason this allowed Shiro to control his spiritual energy slightly better...maybe it was because he was going off a skill he learned in the Academy which needed this sort of control. Shiro pulled the Zanpakuto behind his head slowly, both hands still on the Zanpakuto as he slashed down to the ground with great speed releasing a large arc of Spiritual energy that didn't seem so out of control...in fact,,,it seemed larger with more control. Shiro used the usual steps he'd follow to execute Ryodan but modifying it to allow him to use his spiritual energy in different ways and in doing this it helped him control his energy more...

Kurisa

Kurisa watched John and before long he saw what John was capable of and it was acceptable for his Squad...if Kurisa had been around Johns level of power he would of struggled and he took this into mind but before John got any closer Kurisa raised his forearm and pointed at John then fired off a Bakudo 61 to stop him in his tracks "That's enough...you have what it takes to get into my Squad...welcome to Squad 6. Go rest, relax, train, I really do not care just take the rest of the day off...tomorrow the work starts..." Kurisa then released John from the Bakudo and made his way back into Squad 6 and then to his office

Kirishin watched as a man ripped through the Hollow's tail before shunpoing next to him. The man asked him if he wanted to help take down the Hollow that he thought while the beast's tail began to grow back at a fast rate. "Sure, why not? Did you find any weaknesses or openings on it yet or are we going to have asses torn to shreds by this thing until we do?" He said, quickly noticing it's regeneration abilities stacked with the man's raw strength. If he could deal that amount of damage so easily, then maybe they had a chance of defeating it. The Hollow in the form of a python didn't seem wait a second before charging at the two, making him decide to push off into the sky.

Doesn't really seem like I had much of a choice after thinking about it. Kirishin unsheathed his sealed Zanpakuto, falling back down with his sword positioned downwards, piercing the beast's tail if it remained right below him for long. If his downwards strike managed to impale the Hollow, he would proceed to quickly speak the words required to activate Tsuzuri Raiden, generating an electric current through his short blade that would soon transfer to the python like Hollow as well.

"When Im not trying? Then it must be the cutest thing ever if I do try on purpose." Aya said quite proudly before hearing that the rig wouldnt be a trap, instead it would most likely kill someone which made Aya blink at her. "Wow you got quite the sadistic side of you, and quite the brain power to, if you can rig that to a door. But yeah it would be quite the mess to explain, now if it was a One hand man it would be understandable." Then leafs next question made her pout. "Ahhhh you gotta ruin the moments, I was working my way towards it, and..... I forget the rest." Aya said with a smile before kissing Leaf with no hesitation.

"Well I've seen it and your face doesn't look as good as when you're not trying. Still, not many people look so cute like you when they're sleeping. Thinking about your cute sleepy face makes me wished I took a photo of it while I had the chance. Minari said, trying to keep herself from daydreaming about the thought. She chuckled a little after Aya said something about her having a sadistic side. "Maybe a sadistic side but I don't think I have much brain power by Instigating a fight between me and the Captain of this squad if I had went along with my plan. And I would've waited but you were moving sooooo slow that I ha...." Aya's lips made contact with her's before she could finish which made her eyes widen, closing them a second later with a smile growing on her face. Minari moved forward with a kiss of her own, whenever Aya decided to step back.

it peirced through the snake holoow's tail , and it screamed in agony as the electric current flowed through it.
hollow:"damn you shinigami!"
it slashed at him with its claws, but tsushiro blocked it with his zanpakuto, whigh was glowing with heat, embers coming off of it with every movement.
tsushiro used one of his abilities, sending thre waves if fire towards the beast, burning it with each strike,
tsushiro noticed an open wound on its back that had not healed.
he looked to the other shinigami, pointing to the wound, as if saying 'look, a weakness'.
he was sweating from the heat given off by his blade.

"If you know the name of your zanpakuto that means you can at the very least activate your shikai. Most people actually cant, so 15th seat shouldn't be to far off for you, especially since you said you have a strong bond with your zanpakuto" Giovani noted before drinking his cup, leaf and all. He didnt even feel it go down. for the moment he didn't refill his cup "just be positive your dream squad is Hope isnt it? shouldnt you be, you know,, hopeful?"

Aya held the kiss until her zanpakuto told her to breath which made Aya pull back taking in air. "Oh yeah breathing, almost forgot about that, haha." Aya said with a smile even though its a wonder how anyone can forget how to breath during anything. "And I dunno about that whole brain power, I most certainly can rig a door to kill someone.... unless, you were bluffing about that part. And I was not slow, its called surprise kisses." Aya said as she poked Leaf's cheek again

After listening to a guy tell him that ether he got his spirit under control or he would get some...help with it, Emilo focused and it dropped lower. Not rock bottom low, but as low as he managed to get it. A few quick breaths and Emilo was running with the group. He looked back from time to time listening to what ever was approaching. He really hated the feeling of being chased, but now it was his fault so he had to suck it up and just deal with it. He felt the paper in his pocket and told himself "Come on Emilo. its not that far, you can do this. These guys will kill you if you dont"

The group continued through the forest, the footsteps eventually stopping. Strangely enough, all hollows had vanished. It was as if they all ran and abandoned their home. It was great for their mission, but it still left an incredibly eerie feeling. Shoske tightened his grip on his zanpakuto, looking around for any subtle movements. Nothing but silence. After traveling down their path for a great time, without any interruptions, they had finally reached a massive bottomless pit. Behind it would their target. A giant boulder with a small piece of paper on it...But in front of it, was a small strange looking hollow. It was of humanoid shape and size, but with a massive spiritual pressure.

It wore a human's clothing, and resembled a human in every way. The only difference was its hollow-like face and the monstrous spiritual pressure it let off. It let out a hollow roar, warning the small group of shinigamis to return or face the consequences. It stared at them intensely, fire emitting from its soulless eyes.

As they continued to head through the forest things seemed to quieten down which was good but also seemingly off for a place filled with hollow but as he thought this Kaizo had to stop due to a bottomless pit then beyond that he noticed a large boulder with a small piece of paper on it which meant they were where they needed to be but there was a problem..a big one...a hollow was guarding it and this can't have been a normal one as it's spiritual energy was massive and it's spiritual pressure equally as great then the hollow let out a roar which caused Kaizo to turn to the rest of the group then speak "Well...we came here to do a mission but I'm not going to make us do anything stupid on the account of a bad call by myself...then again I'm not going to say we retreat and give up easily when something difficult comes our way and as my decision either way effects your lives and my own I have to ask you what you all want to do. We can fight it...not saying we will win...but we may just make it out alive...or...we can run. as it stands...I'm willing to give my life for the sake of the mission...as a member of Squad 2 and a Shinigami it'd be a disgrace to both if I were to run...if anyone wants to go they can but I'm staying..." As Kaizo said this his voice carried a serious tone...he was ready to die doing his job...something a lot of Shinigami lacked in this day and age

Jinzo stood before the large wooden gates of the Seireitei. Five days had passed since he'd begun walking, non-stop, from the 79th district; The place he called his home and, for many years, his training grounds. His Zanpakuto was held unsheathed in his right hand, still blood-soaked from its most recent slaughter of criminal degenerates. His body was riddled with the scars of his past and fresh blood, both his own and that of his latest opponent. The air around him stilled as he raised his spiritual energy levels a little, searching out other forms of reiatsu. He found nothing, however.

Still, he maintained his position and raised his reiatsu even higher, causing a slight disturbance in the air surrounding him now. "I am Jinzo Iaori!" He began to yell. "I come here to join the ranks of the Gotei 13!" He raised his voice higher, followed by his spirit level. "I wish to join the Seventh Squad and become the embodiment of Courage!" He raised both his voice and his energy one final time. "Any and all who would test my resolve, step forward!"

Jinzo waited for his answer. It didn't matter how long it took, for the darkness had already shown him his path. Back in that wretched room, lying on a sacrificial alter, half-dead and about to be extinguished fully. When he had peered deep into the shadows after all hope was lost and craved to be wrapped within their empty embrace. When a voice had called out to him, ordered him to survive, to become something greater. And for the past thirteen years, he'd accomplished just that. He'd evolved into a ruthless killer, a beacon of hope for the weak and helpless, a nightmare for those that would prey on the less fortunate.

Now, though, it was time to evolve once more. To advance into the upper echelons of life within the Soul Society, to undertake the mantle of the feared and the fearless. Today, he was going to become a Shinigami.

Henry found her holding hi hand, most likely out of fright, or so she didn't end up losing him. So when she asked him what they were going next, Henry chuckled nervously as he pointed at the squad six building. "Well i was thinking that we join this squad. Its not a docile as Squad four, but they are more willing to help one another. I mean if you don't want to, then I'm sure we can find another way. I just thought that this would be the best way to ensure you don't ever meet those bad people again. I'll still protect you no matter what." Henry said as he gave her a reassuring smile.

Ōhi Sango

Sango nodded as Henry spoke, the smile she was given reassured her indeed, causing her to smile back, more genuine than joyful. "Um hum Henry Tobias!" She nodded again, agreeing with the situation. However, Sango didn't even know what a squad was or even did, but she didn't feel like asking questions... she still just couldn't shake off her fright from what happened... But having Henry here made her feel able to cope with it. Leaning closer, Sango stroked her left cheek against Henry's right arm, his right hand still locked with hers. It was her way of showing affection, well, she just felt like doing it. Standing back, she waited next to Henry, smiling at him in the cutest way possible, which was of course unintentional on Sango's part.

Kurisa sat in his office behind his desk filling out mass amounts of paperwork when he heard a knock at his door then a few spiritual energies appeared, Kurisa raised his head then sat back in his chair and looked at his office door before speaking "Enter..." usually Kurisa would ask for each individuals name but he was a busy man and shaving off as much time as possible was important right about now...however the most important thing was figuring out what the three standing outside his office wanted...a mission no doubt...

Ryuu had been spending some time around Squad 12 not really as a member just running a few errands for them to try become a member but as it was taking time he decided to go to the Squad 1 barracks and see the Head Captain about a position within that Squad but no doubt things wouldn't go as planned and he'd end up sidetracked but regardless things worked out as it was...he had to deliver an item to a certain someone who he was informed of being part of Squad 1 but he probably got that wrong...if so then he'd ask the location of the individual so he could find them and so he could take out two birds with one stone. After a small while he reached Squad 1 and entered with no problem as the guards were freaked out by him anyway and they ended up running off, Ryuu made his way through the Squad 1 barracks until he got to the Head Captains office and after knocking he was allowed to enter. Ryuu walked into the Head Captains office and stood in the middle of the room but didn't bow...he just looked at the Head Captain with his usual dead expression (get it? xD)

Shinji looked at the Zombified looking Shinigami known as Ryuu then spoke "What can I do for you Ryuu isn't it?"
