Rinkei & Kareta
After dealing with the man, Rinkei headed back to his office. Upon entering his office, the Captain suddenly felt a disturbance in the room. "I know you're here whoever you so come out or el-!!!" The sound of something being pushed could be heard and that something was... The Captain caught the object almost instantly before feeling his neck touch something cold. "Even after all this time, you still can't beat me." The voice was very familiar and it was really weird since he had been thinking about this individual just recently.
"Says the person who continues to fight like a coward in order to compensate for her lack of skill.""Well I should go if that's the same way you think about us." The cold steel was removed from Rinkei's neck as footsteps could be heard heading the direction of the door right after. "Wait!!! I didn't mean it like so wait a sec!!" He rushed out after the individual but before he could, cold steel was once again in contact with his neck. "Come on Tasa, I thought you were smarter than that. It seems you've gotten a bit lazy don't cha think?" Out in the open, one could clearly see that the speaking individual was a woman.
She had dark blue hair and wore the normal Shinigami attire with the exception of some stylish aspects added to it. "Games as always huh? So what's your reason for coming outside of messing around? I have important duties to uphold that outweighs everything at the moment." Rinkei noted in an unusual tone, pulling away from the blade before casually walking back inside. "Don't you see Tasa? I came all the way here just to be apart of the Gotei 13 so that I can be closer to you. Isn't that great?" She followed inwards after him while awaiting his reply.
"Well you could've done that awhile back but...alright Kimi. Just try not to get in my wa-Tasa!!!!" The Captain tilted his eyes downward, noticing himself being hugged by Kareta almost instantly. "Not going to cut the act huh?" The woman's facial expression suddenly changed to that of a dark and serious one. "All I was doing is trying to fit in but if that is your desire you must do the same. Go back to being the man that I fell in love with instead of masquerading as this pathetic version. And don't tell me that Sayorin's death actually got to you?" Rinkei pushed off of her, breaking free from the hug before facing the opposite direction.
"It's been a few years yet it feels like he died just yesterday. Had he not sacrificed himself for us, we would be dead as well. But...but that was my choice to make!!! Damn bastard said we would see who was the strongest!!!" His spiritual pressure slowly began leaking out with every word spoken. "Hmmm...well he's dead just like I expected but I...I wanted thin-nevermind. I have more important matters to attend to so wait here." The Captain said, sensing an unusual presence within the Seireitei.
"He gave his life up to save his two best friends and you're one of them so cheer up. You're starting to whine like a helpless little boy when I know you're not. You alone stood up against your clan's decision to...hold up!!! I'm not going to stay here worrying if you're ok or not when I can just come you know." Kareta noted firmly, causing him to just shrug before heading outside.
