[IC] Bleach: A New Dawn

[AbigailTenshi]

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio worked diligently, putting in just as much, maybe even more effort into her report, making sure there were no mistakes what-so-ever and that every last detail made sense. Of course she was far from finished, but she wanted to get down her initial idea's first before beginning research and talking to other Squad members. Amid her writing came an unexpected knock on the door. Rio let out a short grunt of annoyance, hoping she wasn't being interrupted for a foolish reason. Placing her pen down, Rio raised from her seat at her desk, walking around it and to the door while straightening her clothing and eye-patch; keeping up a professional and presentable appearance was key after all. Opening her door, a woman about an inch smaller then her stood on the other side. "Yes?" Rio raised her left eyebrow a touch, wondering what the girl wanted since she certainly wasn't from her Squad.

[Zane620]

As Nohime waited she saw the door open then saw a female standing there. Nohime did a little cheer in her mind as she smiled and bowed. "Umm yes, I wanted to know if i could possibly join squad two by any chance? I know it may look like I don't have a zanpakuto, but i do. It just so happens to be me... But lets see, i'm obviously poor on Zanjutsu, but great in Hakuda, and decent in Kido and Shunpo."

[AeronFarron]

Haruka yipped in surprise when the man appeared out of nowhere. She watched the entire scene then frowned when the creature ate the madman. "Hungry...it's hungry." she muttered to herself. "Hikari, it isn't on a rampage. Look at it...all of those Hollow masks...what if it is in pain? Hunger and dozens of voices telling you to eat souls..." she said to him.

She rushed at the monster with shunpo, much faster than when she'd been practicing with Hikari. "Ok, how about we loosen these chains of yours before you eat, yeah?"

Sui tried to hide her face in her coat when Niki said the last bit, she really wasn't use to people being assertive like that, and a girl no less, so when Niki asked how she got the injuries, Sui slowly dropped the jacket from her face. "Well you know the tattoo I have right? Well in my clan each member has one , and they each contain a certain little power, like my sisters enables her to see despite being blind. and well every fifty years alll the members fight and kill each other to obtain all the powers, when one is gained the tattoo grows, I currently have one, although its a dumb game, but someone from the clan tried to kill me, and well last i saw I blew her off a cliff."

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki found Sui covering her face rather cute but chose not to say anything about it. "Ahhhhhh... Oh my... Well, I'm glad that you're still alive atleast... Just remeber that I'm here for you Okay? If you find yourself in a sticky situation, not matter what it it, I'm here to help, just call my name or get me and I'll help out" Nishiki smiled once more at Sui, a little more cheerfully this time. She hated the thought of Sui being attacked, but at the same time Nishiki knew that Sui was strong enough to take care of herself, however there was nothing wrong with a little help, even if she just wanted Nishiki there but didn't want her to do anything, atleast she'd be there just incase things got a little out of hand....

[Expllo]

So.....Did I do it Kagami? Your dream....It was to protect the Seireitei right? To grow high in the ranks of Squad 6th, right? Well I did it. I almost died in the process, honestly that wouldn't have been too bad. I would be in a new life alongside you, wherever you'd end up. But I guess it wasn't my time then, sadly.....I want to be with you so much, and I know I won't even get that chance again. But you will live in my heart, even in the next life, even if I don't have the memories.....I hope I wasn't a failure to you, Kagami, Takeshi thought as he laid in a bed in Squad four.

He took in a breath releasing it shortly, he sat up slowly still drained physically and more so emotionally. He ran a hand through his hair standing up, that's when he felt a breeze. He slowly looked down. The sight caused him to yelp and jump, turning around quickly and grabbing the sheets covering them around his waist. His face was pink hopping no one noticed, "Why am I naked?" he asked himself quietly.

He ran a hand across the bandages wrapped around his torso, wincing slightly. He decided to leave it alone, looking around for proper clothes or something.

[Zane620]

"alright I'll try if I can, but that squad two girl was probably faster than me, Maybe i should plane a communication chip in your head, im sure squad 12 can do that." Sui said as she then heard a man yelp, for her to turn back and get a glance at the man which made her face turn red again, and cover her face with a pillow. "I'm not sure sir..... are you dressed yet.... Sir, Niki?" Sui muffled voice said through the pillow as she moved her hand around touching Nikis face.

Gio was slightly unnerved when he made it to the squad 12 barracks. upon entering he asked to speak with either the lieutenant or tha captain. Given the way things usually went, he wold probably be approached by the lieutenant. But that was fine this time around, as well as expected. Since the lieutenant was new he, or she, probably wouldnt know what happened to Gio but he should be aware of information regarding methods of betting ones self. However if he did get a chance to speak with the Captain of the squad he would have slightly different question. As he waited he glanced around the room hoping something might jog his memory. so far he was still drawing a blank. what he did wind up remembering was why he had come to this place in the first place. He had wanted to speak with the captain about sharing research result. the Kido corps research could prove helpful so the R&D department and the R&D research would give squad 5 something to practice. in a sense he had came to ask to participate in field studies that might prove useful to both squads 5 and 12. He couldnt remember if he ever got the chance to ask it though. since nothing had come of it he probably didnt so that was something else he could ask while he was here. unless he gets a door shut in his face like at squad 6.

Zero walked about the SRDI Building, accompanied by two other Shinigami who were explaining things to him "I understand...please chase that up. As for you...keep your eyes glued to that screen...I don't want you to miss a single thing..." As the two then nodded and bowed and made their way back Zero found himself face to face with an unfamiliar being. Zero looked at him, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked him right in the eyes "What do we have here? My, My...those guards I hired are just awful, letting anyone into a place filled with such information...it's unforgivable..." Zero then pulled a list out his pocket and crossed two names off the list "That has sorted that out...now I can go ahead with that project now that I have the resources" Zero placed the list back into his pocket and looked back at Gio "Now what can I do for you? I'm a very busy man so please do make this quick...and make sure it's worth my time or you will become a part of my next project..."

Nene stopped and looked back at him raising and eyebrow. He did present something rather interesting, more test should be done after all he could have had a lucky shot. Truly it was convincing enough for her to consider it, so when he said sorry and then asked her about her thoughts on the matter, she waited a few seconds before nodding. "Might as well, I poured months into this topic, I should at least see if this test of yours is the real deal. However the smile he gave was quite welcoming, and from someone from squad twelve that could be seen as a sign of danger, but alas she shrugged an walked back over to him.

Kagiko nodded and tilted his hat forward slightly as he continued to smile "That's the spirit. Most people here may be out to help themselves or do everything themselves but me...I do on occasion like to work with others...sometimes even I can miss crucial elements of something. So yes please do come along and see the results...after all...I want to make sure these can work on many hollow at once and that they all listen to command...who knows, if we create stronger versions we may be able to control Gillian which would make a massive difference..." Kagiko then walked up to Nene "Let's waste no time" a long white ribbon then escaped Kagiko's right sleeve as it formed a dome around the two then in a bright flash of light they disappeared and reappeared in a forest some distance from the Seireitei, the ribbon then retracted into Kagiko's right sleeve as he then looked around "This forest is notorious for having rather out of control hollow, the hollows even consume eachother in some cases...so as you can imagine they are a little stronger than your average hollow..."

[Expllo]

"Hikari, it isn't on a rampage. Look at it...all of those Hollow masks...what if it is in pain? Hunger and dozens of voices telling you to eat souls..." Hikari heard her speak, then watched as she shunpo'ed over to the creature. She had a good point there, and thinking about it it was probably the hollows controlling the creature. He personally wouldn't have mind just outright killing it, but there was no time to argue and Haruka didn't seem like the type who would be convinced easily. He took a breath and went into his Raion form, it'd make everything much quicker.

Raion

Hikari noticed allot of the masks were chipped from his last attack which was good. He appeared beside the creature almost as if he teleported and used Senmaioroshi, though used it so fast that it just seemed like the masks broke. Hikari jumped back and saw that the creature began slowing it's chewing. So it were the masks controlling the creature, Hikari began doing the other sides. He would let Haruka take care of the masks in her area.

As Nohime waited she saw the door open then saw a female standing there. Nohime did a little cheer in her mind as she smiled and bowed. "Umm yes, I wanted to know if i could possibly join squad two by any chance? I know it may look like I don't have a zanpakuto, but i do. It just so happens to be me... But lets see, i'm obviously poor on Zanjutsu, but great in Hakuda, and decent in Kido and Shunpo."

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio stood quietly at the door, listening to the female as she explained her reason for disturbing her. Lucky for the female her reason wasn't foolish. "We do have space so there is a chance of you becoming a member of this Squad. And I see, well, for you to join the Squad you must first complete an initiation. This initiation is you sparring with another member of the Squad why being supervised by either me or the Captain. I'd liked for you to show me what you know already, don't worry about trying to achieve perfection as whichever area you seem to be lacking in, we'll work on first before building on the areas that you already have strength in. Now, I have just the right member in mind for your initiation, please follow me." Rio stepped out of her room and closed the door behind her before gesturing for the woman to follow as she began walking. "By the way, my name is Rio Darishimo, what is your name?" Rio asked, making sure she didn't come across as too stern by softening her voice a little.

Humming a joyful tune while dressed in a rather formal Kimono with her hair pulled up in a neat bun, a decorative hair pin finishing off the look, a woman who went by the name Miwa with chestnut-brown hair and emerald green eyes adjusted her glasses while walking through the Seireitei. Her head flicked from left to right as she walked, reading the signs above the entrances of the many barracks while looking for one particular number. After a while Miwa's eyes squinted slightly in happiness as she hurried through the entrance, carrying two black Bento boxes. She continued walking down the path, looking around to see a few Shinigami sparring before a tall Shinigami stopped her. "Excuse me Miss, I don't believe you're supposed to be inside here. What's your name?" Miwa looked up at the guy, still smiling as her mood didn't falter at all. The man looked down at the woman in slight shock to find that she claimed to be a Kuchiki, however he hadn't seen her before.... "Oh... I apologise Mrs Kuchiki.... Please continue" Despite practically telling the man off, Miwa still held a smile and her voice had a slight softness to it. The man then nodded his head and stepped out of the way, bowing. Miwa then continued walking, moving a little faster this time.Walking up the stairs, Miwa had already asked a young lady for directions to the Captain's office. While making her way to her destination, she scanned her surroundings, admiring the hard-working Shinigami as well as the maintained gardens and clean pathways. With her smile growing further, Miwa gently knocked the door and waited while holding the Bento boxes.

Kurisu was still sat within his fathers office doing the paperwork when he heard a gentle knock at the door which made him roll his eyes as he then spoke under his breath "Who is it now? seriously..." Kurisu then got up from his seat and walked around the desk and made his way to the door, he then slid it open and was about to give some abuse when he saw his mother causing his eyes to widen "M-Mother! W-What are you doing here? Fath-I mean...Captain Kuchiki is busy training right now, he has been for some time...as usual I've been left with the paperwork" Kurisu's eyes then drifted to the Bento boxes "Oh? what do you have in there? a present?"

[Zane620]

Nohime listened as the woman explained things to her and whats he would be doing, it seemed easy enough to follow anyway, the woman then introduced herself as Rio, and then asked her what her name was. Thats right Nohime had yet to do that. "Ah! My apologizes, my name is Nohime Tachibana, you can just use No if you want to. Some people find that easier. And if I may ask, who is this member Im sparring against?"

[AeronFarron]

Haruka's body became a silver blur when she activated Aerodynamic. The masks on her side fell to the ground in pieces as she zipped back and forth, slashing and stabbing at them. She was thankful that Hikari believed her and allowed the creature a chance to receive some help.

"Alright...there. I think they are all off of you now." She said as she looked at her handiwork. She back flipped away from it to give it some space, then made her way to Hikari's side. Destroying it would have been easier, but it wouldn't have been right. "How are ya feeling, Big Guy?" she asked the creature. She hoped it had come to its senses.

[AbigailTenshi]

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki giggled at Sui's suggestion. "I don't believe Squad Twelve would be able to get through this thick skull of mine eheh, why not put one on our underwear? Like one that you can clip on and take off whenever you change your bra?" Nishiki grinned, actually thinking her idea was a good one until Sui looked away and then covered her face with a pillow. "Huh?" Nishiki looked dumb-founded when she looked in the direction Sui looked to find a naked man. "My my~ Smokin' body you got the-!" Nishiki's speak was abruptly halted by Sui's hand touching her face, covering her mouth. Humming a chuckle, Nishiki kissed the palm of Sui's hand which may of caused Sui to pull her hand away, atleast away from Nishiki's mouth. "I don't know whether he's dressed yet Suzie~ Let me have another look~" Nishiki looked back at the guy again, humming another chuckle.

[Expllo]

Once they destroyed all the masks The Creature dropped Tatsuki from it's mouth. Tatsuki was on the ground shivering, though wasn't able to move for obvious reasons. Hikari looked at the creature, watching as it began shrinking. Soon it turned into a grey dog the whimper while looking at Hikari. Hikari....Felt really bad at that moment. He bent down and stuck his hand out but the pup ran and hid behind Haruka's leg shivering.

"I'm sorry little buddy," Hikari said while looking at he pup, not exactly sure why it was here but they weren't going to figure that out at the moment. Hikari reverted to his normal self and sheathed his blade, walking to Tatsuki he picked him up and tossed him over his shoulder. "I think you should take care of that pup, atleast take him back to the barracks. I'll be at Squad six," he told her. He gave her a smile before shunpo'ing off to throw Tatsuki in a cell.

[Expllo]

Once he turned around he saw that two women, two beautiful ones at that, had caught him. That made him blush more, and once the girl commented about him having a nice body his whole face turned pink. He shut his eyes and shouted, "I AM NOT A NUDIST!" which created an awkward silence along the barracks.

He slowly opened his eyes blinking before pulling more of the sheet onto him, though it slipped off his torso by how much he was sweating now. He noticed the temperature go up just then, now his whole body essentially wet. "Uh...." Takeshi just looked down, not knowing what to do then.

Miwa Ringo-Kuchiki

When she heard shuffling from the other side of the door, Miwa couldn't help but let her smile grow. The door then slid open to reveal her son's shocked expression. "Hello honey, I just thought I'd pay a visit my two most favourite men in the world hmhm~ And well, do you know when you're father will be coming back?" She held up the Bento boxes as Kurisu's eyes drifted to them. "Yup, I decided to bring you both some of your favourite foods. The top one is for you, the bottom one is for your father~ Soo, are you going to let your mother in? Or would you prefer that I'd leave, I don't want to embarrass you both after all eheh" Miwa held the Bento boxes on top of her right palm as she rubbed the back of her head with the left. "I guess I can just talk to the nice gentlemen at the gate and make sure that they are doing there jobs properly because I will not stand by if they let someone in who'll try to hurt my son and your father! Then I guess I'll pay Squad One a visit and meet the new Head Captain, I wonder if the woman he bought is his wife since your father didn't tell me any details. Oh, I've just got to show them how cute you looked when you were a baby~ Oh how I miss those days little ducky~"

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio looked back at Nohime as she introduced herself. "Well nice to meet you Nohime Tachibana." As they continued to walk, Rio lead Nohime down the steps of the barracks. "The member you will be sparring against is also a new joiner, I have yet to witness their skill within combat since the Captain Kaizo initiated them. However, I'm pretty sure they'll be very willing to spar." As she spoke, they both made it to the barrack's training room. Rio then stopped, expecting Nohime to stop also. "And there he is." Rio pointed to Eiichi before speaking a little louder to get his attention. "Eiichi Taichou, can you assist me by sparring with this young lady Nohime Tachibana."

[Expllo]

Eiichi stomped hard on the ground causing a bit of the floor to fly into the air, almost immediately after Eiichi twisted in the air kicking the debris causing it to hit the wall and shatter leaving a large hole in the wall. Eiichi landed and straightened himself taking a breath or two. He then heard his name asking if he could assist her, but he knew well enough that she would make him even if he declined. Eiichi had his top down, his shoulders bouncing up and down from his heavy breathing as sweat dripped down his body. He looked back at Rio running a hand through his sweaty hair, "Like I have a choice?" he asked almost as if the destroyed training room was nothing. The walls were cracked, the floor cracked all around and caved in in various places. He knew he'd probably get scolded for it, but they were the ones who were shoving it down everyone's throat about training and.....Well, he was training alright.

"I..." Gio started to get right to the point but for some reason hesitated. "I was here three months ago, to speak with you. However it seems I never got the chance. Unfortunately my memory of that day is fragmented. I came here hoping to find out why. squad 5, 3rd seat, Giovanni Cain." the fact that he was actually speaking to a captain seemed completely surreal. he understood the mans frustration about a stranger being around such sensitive information but Gio probably wouldnt understand most of it at least not by glancing at it. On another visit he may have been interested but he had enough sense to go through the proper channels to such. After all he really didnt want to be part of any projects, experiments or anything of the sort.

"I remember, coming here, seeking you. then the next thing I remember I was waking up with a migraine on the floor in one of the hallways. " he explained. "while their is another matter i hoped to discuss with you, this one takes precedence for now, captain" I wasnt until he finished speaking that he realized that there was a 67% chance what he said could be interpreted as a consent to experimentation. Gio really only wanted him to check security footage if there was any..... Shit
