Kaizo listened to the Head Captain talk, mentioning things that all the Captains already knew...or at least most would have. As it stood he didn't really see why this was just a Captains meeting but regardless he was glad it was over quickly. Kaizo watched as the a few of the Captains were called away by the Head Captain which caused Kaizo to let out a sigh as he thought to himself Squad 2 aren't getting anything interesting then... With that thought Kaizo left the meeting hall and made his way back to Squad 2, he had some work to do there anyway...just nothing exciting...he'd really have to try come up with some interesting training exercises for his Squad to do otherwise they'd end up sitting around doing jack all.
After a short walk Kaizo arrived back at Squad 2 and instantly made his way to his office, walking and closing the door behind him, he walked to his desk and sat down on his chair and looked up...letting out a sigh "I'm probably going to have a headache by the end of this day..." Kaizo looked back down to his desk and to the pile of paperwork he had to do..."I hate paperwork..."
Kaizo Tatakai & Arina Kawagana
A few hours later
Once upon a time, Arina had briefly wondered how much stronger Kaizo was than her. Ninety-seven years and seven-hundred and eleven sparring matches later, the answer was obvious as he all but crushed her into the ground. Struggling to stand from the crater they had just created in the ground, she felt her back pop and she weakly fell to her knees before him.
Her hand shot out, silencing him before he could even speak. She slowly stood and brushed the dust off her body, “One more time, and if I can pin you down, I win,” she suggested with a crooked and hollow grin. Arina was far more competitive than she cared to admit, and if Kaizo hadn’t already realised, he was about to.
Kaizo rubbed the back of his head as he watched Arina slowly make her way to her feet, listening to her as she spoke before replying "You know that's being hopeful, I wont let you pin me down. If you want to go again then I'm not going to deny you" Kaizo prepared himself, waiting on Arina to make the first move "Come at me then"
A small smile graced her featured before her thin hand stretched out and grasped the hilt of her sealed Zanpakuto. She didn't speak as she took a step forward into a Shunpo, throwing the blade into the air, hoping to draw the Captains attention to it. She would stop directly in front of him and reach up to catch her blade, however - her other hand would also raise, and swing, open palmed, in the form of a slap across the face...
Whatever worked.., right?
Kaizo watched Arina's movements, lowering his stance in preperation for what was about to come. His eyes were fixed on her as she moved closer to him with Shunpo, throwing her Zanpakuto into the air, yet Kaizo kept his eyes on her as she stopped in front of him, Kaizo watched her movements and prepared for her to swing her blade down at him only to see an open hand flying towards his face. Kaizo thought to himself for a moment before reaching out with his right hand to grab her left wrist as he then twisted his body to the right, bringing his left leg around in attempt to slam it into Arina's right side.
Arina frowned slightly as he caught her wrist with ease... it had worked so easy on Pachid the other day. Then again, he was a Third Seat... and this was a Captain. Her eyes watched cloesly as he twisted around to her left, and she could only guess what he would do next. Using her small frame to her advantage, she hoisted herself up, using Kaizo's grip and, flipped over his oncoming kick, landing directly in front of him once again - making sure she was up close and personal, inches away from his face - up on her tippy toes so she could get closer,
"You wouldn't really hurt me, would you, Captain?" her voice was innocent and flirtatious, as he placed a hand on his chest, while her other arm crossed her body - still in his grasp. She was trying to make him uncomfortable.
Kaizo's eyes followed Arina as she hoisted herself up and flipped over his kick, by this time he had brought his left leg back as she landed in front of him, getting very close to his face as she spoke. Kaizo gulped before focusing, he released his grip on Arina's left wrist as he raised his left hand slightly, pointing his index finger at her stomach before speaking "Hado one...Sho" Kaizo used the Hado to push Arina back as he then spoke "I wouldn't seriously hurt you...doesn't mean I wouldn't give you a bruise here and there." Kaizo took this time to take a deep breath, that was just uncomfortable in more ways than one.
Arina's eyes widened slightly as Kaizo used his Kido - she should have totally seen that coming. She hunched over slightly, placing two fingers on the ground to keep her steady as she slid backwards. She coughed slightly, almost completely winded. After a moment of pain, she stood straight, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Point blank... that was cold, Captain," she whined childishly.
Her eyes glanced around the area, her sword had been carelessly discarded long ago, and she couldn't imagine she'd win this without it. Then a thought entered her mind, and she watched her Captain for a moment, wondering if she'd be crossing the line or not...
It didn't matter too much... she crossed the line every day.
With a small huff, she placed a palm in front of her, "Hadō #31. Shakkahō,"
Using Kido on someone more versed in Kido than she wasn't the best of ideas; however, as she sent it flying towards him, she would Shunpo towards him once more, in the shadow of her attack. If all went well, she would end up close and personal once more - but this time, she would plant her lips firmly on his. She was trying to throw him off, and she hoped it would work.
Kaizo had a quick stretch whilst he watched Arina slide back and stop, he listened as she stood and spoke to which he responded with a shrug "Hey if you want to play that game then you've got to be prepared...I'm not that easy to mess with!" Kaizo's eyes then narrowed slightly as he watched her prepare and fire a Hado #31 at him, and from some distance...yet Kaizo's eyes caught her shunpo, after all...she was a lot slower in comparison to himself. He couldn't help but grin a little as he used Utsusemi, leaving an afterimage behind before appearing high in the air "If you want to play kiss chase then you'll have to try a lot harder than that!"
Arina puffed out her cheeks as she scowled up at him with a childish glare, "No fair, Captain!"
She was just mad that she had used her last dirty trick for nothing.
"Fine" she muttered, still not taking her eyes off him.
She childishly stalked towards her sword and yanked it from the ground and pointed it up at him, "Get back down here and fight me~" she whined, flailing her sword around.
Kaizo continued to grin as he then spoke "As you wish~" Kaizo dropped down to the ground, bending his knee's as he did, he then disappeared with a swift shunpo, appearing behind Arina as he reached out slightly with his right hand, extending his index and middle finger to press against Arina's back as he then used Tsukiyubi to send her flying, however he had at least given her enough time to react...this was a spar after all.
"Crap-baskets," she had barely seen him coming, and although he had gone easy on her, she had been too busy complaining at him to realise what he was doing. Before she could blink he was behind her, and instead of running, she tried to turn, but didn't get the chance as his Hakuda technique blasted her across the landing.
She skipped across the concrete, like a stone, before rolling to a stop. Her eyes were closed tightly, as her rigid body lay still for a moment or so. A small groan escaped her barely parted lips as she placed a hand on the ground, propping herself up. Much to her dismay, the back of her kimono had been burnt, resulting in the front falling uselessly at her waist.
She ignored the screams of her limbs, begging her to stop, and the faint feeling in her head from so many sleepless nights and too many days with only alcohol and no food. Her eyes widened slightly and her face tinted pink as she folded her arms over her chest, staying on her knees,
She knew she'd fall if she stood.
Her blue eyes gazed up at her Captain for a moment, "You happy now, Captain?" she asked in a dry tone, "You singed my clothes off..."
Kaizo watched as Arina flew across the grounds before coming to a stop, this resulted in him rubbing the back of his head and speaking to himself "I was sure I gave enough time for her to dodge..." He watched as she got herself onto her knees only for her Kimono to fall to her waist which caused Kaizo's eyes to widen as he suddenly and sharply looked to his right, his face too becoming pink as he continued to rub the back of his head as she spoke. Kaizo gave a nervous laugh before replying "Uh...well yeah sorry about that...must have put a bit to much into that attack..."
Kaizo then proceeded to remove his top, walking over to Arina whilst still looking away and holding it out to her "Uhm...here take mine"
She raised an eyebrow for a moment as Kaizo offered his shirt, and with one hand, she reached out for it - narrowing her eyes on her fingers as they trembled slightly, indicating the weakness in her body. But as soon as the look came, it was gone - her eyes flickered up to Kaizo's for a moment as her fingers grasped the material.
She pulled the shirt over her head, not really caring for turning away from him, and as her head popped out she muttered a quiet insult,
"I never realised you were such a pervert, Captain..."
Kaizo continued to look away and could only hear what was going on, the only time he looked at her was when she spoke...calling him a pervert "Wait what? Hey! it's not like I did that on purpose!...I've got better things to do than strip women of their clothes with Hakuda techniques! Sheesh...if I wanted to see you nude, I'd go about it in a much sneakier way"
"Or you could just ask..."
Her tone was still dry as her pale hand reached out for his, she pulled herself up off the ground - her legs shaking slightly as she did so. Her porcelain brow creased slightly as she steadied herself, still using the Captain as a beam.
"Uh...well...yeah, well...I don't do that stuff" Kaizo at this point felt a little awkward, however this was replaced with concern as he observed Arina, his expression becoming a bit more serious "You've been pushing yourself too hard...when was the last time you slept?"
"In between getting back from our mission and coming here with you after your meeting with the Head Captain," she murmured, averting her gaze to the ground - that was a blatant lie; she hadn't even been home since she got back from her mission. She couldn't actually remember the last time she closed her eyes and actually fell asleep,
She then looked up at him with a closed eyed smile that held no emotion whatsoever, "I'm not pushing myself too hard at all, Captain - I'm perfectly fine... my body is just in a bit of shock from that last attack is all,"
Kaizo listened to Arina speak, watching her face as she did...the fact that she looked away made it obvious that she was lying "You know you're meant to be sleeping right?...you can't keep going days on end without it, it's unhealthy." Kaizo then let out a sigh before continuing on "I'm going to have to keep an eye on you from now on...last thing I want is this affecting your work, especially on a mission...Come on let's call it a day, you need to rest"
With a small sigh, she nodded and turned to walk with her Captain; however, she forced herself to trip and stumble into him, pressing herself against him - with a small smirk, she would place the sheath of her sword behind his legs in the hope that he would step back and fall.
Kaizo began to walk with Arina when he felt her suddenly fall into him which caught him a bit off guard, this caused him to stumble a little, only to find she had placed the sheath of her Zanpakuto behind his legs which caused him to fall, bringing her down with him. He then stretched out his left arm as he twisted his body slightly to hold himself up, his right arm holding Arina as he then spoke "The hell you playing at? I would have took that as an honest fall had you not placed the sheath of your Zanpakuto behind my legs"
Arina had been weak, but the fall was intentional. It was her last hope of getting him to fall and allowing her to win... Unfortunately, it backfired. She closed her eyes and puffed her cheeks out in frustration, "Damnit!" she cursed, she was however greatful that he had the decency to catch her, only because she wasn't sure if she'd be able to get up off the ground at this stage,
"You always have to ruin my fun!"
"Well it's not by choice...this stuff just happens" Kaizo pushed himself up with his left arm, holding Arina steady with his right till he was in a standing position "Well...you can't be trusted to walk!" Kaizo crouched slightly, his right arm around Arina's back as his left tucked under her knee's, lifting her up and holding her almost like a baby "Now you can't try any tricks to trip me up again!" He then chuckled as he began to walk, taking her inside the barracks and to her room where he'd let her down onto her feet before speaking "So...onto something more serious...I want you in bed by nine! No more late nights!"
He then laughed a little, obviously joking "No but seriously...you need to sleep more. We also need to talk about this mission of yours...how did it go?" Kaizo's expression became more serious as the mission itself was one even he wouldn't want to do...he wanted to make sure it wasn't messing with her head, after all that could be.
The only complaint Arina made about being carried was childish whining, but when they got back inside, she sprawled herself over a large armchair she had placed in the corner of the room as he asked her about her most recent mission, her eyes hardened for a moment as she thought back on it for a moment before she met her Captain with a nonchalant gaze,
"Well, considering Xie and Settan were both busy," she stated in a sour tone, ruling out the Third and Fourth Seats, "and we haven't replaced our Fifth Seat... I was forced to take Sixth Seat Ichirou and Seventh Division Lieutenant, Kyogen," she stated.
"Overall, the mission went well... The village was leveled, and nobody ever knew we were there. However, Ichirou seemed to have a hard time understanding, the words 'no one left alive'. Needless to say, it was dealt with and he will be dealt with as you see fit,"
Her voice was emotionless, and her gaze was empty.
"Aaandd, that was my night..." she mused, but she then changed the subject, "How was your meeting with the Head Captain? Is the Soul Society falling into ruin yet?" a mischievous smile graced her features as she pulled her knees to her chest, she liked to know what went on in the Captain meetings; she liked to know as much as she could about the happenings around the Seireitei in general.
Kaizo listened as Arina spoke, nodding when she mentioned Ichirou...seemed he hadn't fully taken onboard just how dirty the job was. Kaizo then rubbed the back of his head as Arina mentioned the Captains meeting...to be honest it was kinda pointless in his opinion, it was stuff they already knew...or at least most did. "Eh...nothing exciting. To be honest I'm not sure why he exclusively called a Captains meeting, it was only about things we already knew...the increase in hollows, noble families getting at eachother...that sort of stuff. Only interesting part was when he hauled off 3 Captains to talk to them in private and that's probably just to assign them missions for them and their Squads"
She glanced out the window for a moment before looking back at Kaizo, "So we've been benched then?" she asked in a bored tone, "What are we supposed to do in the meantime?" she asked with a slight sigh - her eyes suddenly narrowed on her Captain, "If you say paperwork, I'll murder you via paper cut."
Kaizo shrugged in response and then spoke...trying to hide his very slight smile "Guess we will have to do paperwork..." Kaizo couldn't hold himself and let out a chuckle before he continued to speak "Sorry, Sorry...couldn't help but try wind you up. Seriously though...train and get through the few missions we have...it's not very exciting so if anything we will be relaxing quite a bit since with few missions comes little paperwork...may have the lower seats clean the barracks up and repair damages but that's about it really..." Kaizo then let out a sigh, he did hate not having things for his Squad to do...
Arina streched her arms above her head for a moment before resting her chin on her knees, "Sounds boring,"
For a moment she inspected the shirt she was wearing and then her burnt Kimono, "You realise that, now I have this... You're never going to get it back. I hope you've resigned yourself to that fate,"
Kaizo nodded then listened as she spoke, looking down at himself then back up to her "I can go topless for a while till I can get another...those aren't cheap though! Best take care of it if you intend to keep it" Kaizo said with a somewhat jokey tone...in truth they were kinda cheap but still, he knew good people.
"Think if it as payment for my new Kimono that you ruined - I spent a fortune on that," she didn't know why she insisted on paying so much for them... she ruined at least two a week... and now it was two in a day. Her irises glanced back up to him for a moment, seriousness taking over her gaze, "Imma sleep in it,"
Kaizo rubbed the back of his head then spoke "I suppose that's fair..." he then listened as she said she was going to sleep in the top he had given her as payment "So you're going to use it as sleep wear? If it gets you to sleep more then go for it...you seriously need the sleep"
She waved a dismissive hand at his comment, "I'll be fine, Captain, really," she stated in a soft tone, but her hollow face and dark eyes said otherwise. "You have more things to worry about than me," she mused, "I'm fine..."
"Sure sure...regardless you're my Lieutenant, it's my job to worry about your wellbeing...Can't have my second in command falling ill, that'd mean more paperwork, missions and worrying about your ass so I'd rather keep you in a fine condition" Kaizo did feel a little crappy though, after all...he'd only just noticed that she hadn't slept in a while and the signs were pretty obvious.
"If you hadn't noticed, Captain," her lips quirked upwards into a smirk, "My whole body is fine," she mused, looking down at her breasts for a moment before looking back up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"W-Well yeah that's...wait...nevermind! I know you're trying to trick me again" Kaizo was actually unsure if she was saying her body was actually fine or if she meant it in the way that her body just looked good.
She chuckled slightly, "It's okay, Captain - I wont tell anyone you're a pervert... but I might not need to - considering the length of time you've spent in my quarters. After all, you did carry me in here... shirtless," her voice held amusement, "Can't look good..."
"B-But...wait...woah! Hang on there! I aint a pervert and you know it! I haven't done anything perverted anyway!...but they'd likely believe you over me" This caused Kaizo to look left and then right before looking back at Arina "I know it wont look good...last thing I need is people thinking I'm some sort of pervert...what is it gunna take to make sure this doesn't become some bad rumour?" At this point Kaizo was willing to make a deal to ensure he didn't seem like a pervert...it really wouldn't do good for his reputation and he was unsure if Arina was the kind who'd spread a rumour or not.
Arina tilted her head slightly... did he honestly think she'd speak of their encounters to others? She would have been offended... if she didn't already have a deal in place, "A year of no paperwork."
She said it before she could even think... she hated paperwork and she'd do just about anything to get out of it. And as it just so happened, Kaizo had given her the opportunity of a life time.
"A Year?...I mean I suppose I could dump it on the 3rd seat...wait...damn you!" He'd just remembered who the 3rd seat was and so it looked like he'd have to do it after all, he hated paperwork just as much...now even more "Fine you have a deal..." Kaizo was less than happy about this but if meant he wouldn't be wrongfully branded as a pervert then it seemed fair.
Arina smiled at her Captain as she stood up and saundered over to him, she extended her hand to him, "Shake on it,"
Kaizo extended out his hand and shook hers as he then spoke "Well...plus side is you don't need to do paperwork so instead can spend the time sleeping, I know you need it!" Kaizo was going to ensure she slept properly from now on.
Arina smirked slightly, "To be fair, I'd never dream of speaking ill or spreading rumors about my Captain... but you shook on it - so the deal still stands," she stated, folding her arms over her chest. "But if you really want... we could give them something to talk about..."
"What?...dammit!...Well I'm a man of my word so yeah, I'll stick to this deal" Kaizo's curiosity was then peaked...mostly because he wasn't sure what she meant and so took it as something entirely different to perhaps what was being offered "Oh? what's that?" Kaizo genuinely had no idea and was all but clueless at this point.
Arina was thrown off... her brow scrunched up in confusion and her head tilted to the side as she opened her mouth to speak but was rendered speechless, "Well, the kind of thing that involves..." she cut herself off - it wasn't funny anymore, "You know what..." she was lost for words again as she placed her middle finger and thumb on either temple. "You need to get out more - for the love of... you're a man are you not?!"
She sighed, letting it go as she looked at her Captain with a bored gaze, "You're no fun,"
Kaizo rubbed the back of his head as he looked at Arina, listening to her speak...the last part kinda got to him but he shrugged it off "You've got a point...perhaps I should get out more, it's been awhile since I've done anything exciting...Perhaps you could show me what you call fun sometime" Kaizo grinned a little then turned and made his way to the door, opening it as he spoke once more "Make sure you get some rest... you're going to need it" with the Kaizo exited Arina's room, closing the door behind him.
