Kyoichi simply nodded when the acting head captain called out their next action. Following along, he shunpo'ed to the specific location as well. Upon arrival, he took a look to see that almost everyone that was with them earlier had arrived. "Very well. Captain Shuiji and Yoshimatsuto is it ok for me to set up a temporary communication station in order to reach out to more shinigamis that are still alive out there from all the various squads? From the looks of it we will need all the bodies we can find, working towards the same cause. However, with my plan, one possible drawback is the fact that we will be communicating on all wavelengths available to us. This means that the enemy, whoever they are, would be able to tap in on that too... At this point, I have no solutions to that problem. If you two allow me to do so, please help me with a solution to that problem..."

Nodding, Kyoichi responded "I see..." In his mind, he was thinking that now he has two people that he has to defeat to uphold his name. One man was the killer of his former captain, the other took away from him everything that he loved. Clutching his two swords slightly, he listened to all the suggestions of the other people present while scanning the crowd to see if there was anyone there from his squad. "Well, as the sole representative of Squad Eight, I say we go with the captain of Squad Twelve as the acting leader of our group. However, I do not believe that he should be called 'Head Captain' but that is neither here nor there, so no big deal..." After kyoichi voiced his opinion, he turned back to the captain of Squad Thirteen and said "and Ma'am, I'd be honored if I could join your group since you are one of the captains present and we were asked to form into groups for now..."

-Sword Quest-

Quickly turning around, Kyoichi was surprised by the cook standing right next to him, holding a menu.

Appearance of the chef

"Well hellooo there young man. Like I said, the special of the day is nabeyaki udon, served with a side of ryukiri beef. Interested?" The chef said, with a small grin on his face. "Uh. Yeah. Please. I'll have one those..." "ALRIGHT! Coming right up. Yukihira special, Nabeyaki udon with ryukiri beef!" The chef said. While the chef was saying so, Kyoichi took a sip of his tea and had his eyes closed for those three seconds. When he opened his eyes to thank the chef properly, the chef was no longer next to him but was back at the stove, furiously cooking away. Kyoichi thought to himself "Just how fast is this man....unnaturally fast..." Kyoichi focused his mind to seek out if the chef had a trace of reiatsu. To his surprise, the chef did and was not trying to hide it. However, its potency does not warrant the speed the chef has shown. Thus, Kyoichi attributed that to the chef has lived in the Soul Society for a while and thus picked up that amount of reiatsu. The reason for his speed was still unknown...

And just when was Kyoichi served his tea....?

Bleach: Soul Extinction

I'll have a response/post up within the next 24 hours.

Bleach: Soul Extinction

-In the human world-

Kyoichi woke. He was taking a simple nap when the even had transpired. Grunting, he stood up from the grassy field and looked about. "Just what in the hell happened..." He said to no one in particular. He spotted three captain, particularly the captains of Squad Four, Nine and Thirteen. Having not heard what was said before he woke, he approached the captain of Squad Thirteen and said "Ma'am, just what is happening? Are we on a special mission or something? There is sure a lot of shinigamis here for a mission..."

-Sword Quest-

Moving through the mountain path, Kyoichi had spotted a small diner, oddly placed considering the locale. "Yukihira's...sounds interesting..." Securing his sword and backpack, he stepped through the curtained doors of the small diner. "WELCOME!" The chef called out. "Have a seat wherever you'd like sir." The chef continued, without even turning around. "The menu is on the wall. The special today is Scalding Hot Nabeyaki Udon, served with a side of ryukiri beef!" Kyoichi was nodding along to the whole nabeyaki udon part but when the ryukiri beef bit came about, he furrowed his eyebrows and turned to look at the chef.

To his surprise, the chef wasn't at the stove...

Bleach: Soul Extinction

@KurisaFair enough.

Bleach: Soul Extinction

The time is now half past five, for anyone that is observing. For Kyoichi, it seems as if time has been standing still for as long as he has been inside that temple. The monk, acting as if nothing was out of place, stood still with his staff in his hand. "Your forefathers would be ashamed. It has taken you, a supposed prodigal child, too long to understand the meaning of my words. One must flow like the mighty river in order to temper the flames that burn within. Take that to heart, child, and you will find that your skills grows five-fold. Until then, you must receive these rods in penance." The monk said, moving in a shunpo-esque motion. Kyoichi, still befuddled, was trying to raise his sword to block as fast as he could. However, the monk's staff struck hard and true, literally beating Kyoichi all over the ground.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of beating, Kyoichi stood up and paced back, eyes fully closed. "Flow...like water..." He said. His reiatsu, to those that can see it, seemed calm but still containing that sense of wildness that he has always had. With one deep breath, he opened his eyes and said "I understand now, master Monk." He held his sword loosely in his right hand. "Then come and test your understanding, baka disciple..." The monk said, displaying a wild grin that is not supposed to appear on a man of spirituality.

Taking one hard step forward, Kyoichi shunpo'ed towards the monk and swung his sword arm upwards at a 45 degree angle. The monk instinctively moved to his right to dodge, only to receive a downward slash on his right shoulder from Kyoichi. "Hm." The monk said, swinging his staff to bat the sword away. Retracting his sword, Kyoichi swung it horizontally at the monk. The monk moving once more to dodge, this time simply moving backwards. However, Kyoichi had switched his sword hand to his left and had thrust the sword forward, piercing the monk at the sternum. "Very good..." The monk said before disappearing in a puff of smoke...

Reappearing uninjured, the monk said "You, after many tribulations, have passed my test, you may pass to face your next task, which will be more difficult and will require you to utilize what you have learned here to pass...Also, say hi to the old man you'll meet for me. Simply tell him the monk says hi, he will understand..." Kyoichi, sheathing his sword, said "I will, master." Giving a full bow, he gathered his things and moved on, past the temple and into the mountain path behind it...

Flowing like water, Kyoichi is finally learning how to tame the fire that burns within him...
