Ryuu Shosuke
."I know I can't do much here, and to be honest I hate it, but to them it might be the difference in their week." Ryuu was a bit surprised that he agreed with her but in a way she felt bad. It was like she had thrown more salt on an open wound, a wound that Tenshin so clearly wanted to go away. She eyed the bandages with a bit of worry but it wasn’t all that unusual for him to be bleeding somewhere on his body. She just hadn’t expected him to be bleeding that much in such a short amount of time. "I'm going to be Captain even if it kills me, but I know I need to calm down, does that cover the gist of it? I just hate the waiting is all. But hey, Kenpachi issued a challenge." A snort escaped her lips as she shook her head. “Now where would dying leave you? It’ll be oh so very lonely if I didn’t have my trusty lieutenant by my side don’t you think.” Just like her fellow squad member, she had every intention of aiming for the title of Kenpachi. It would definitely show the idiots back at home what she was capable of, even if it only meant she was truly a savage on the battle field.
Her words were meant as a tease but they did carry a large load of seriousness in them. Tenshin tapped her shoulder as his name was called and she could only scowl at her friend. "Thanks for setting me straight, blah blah, wanna watch me kick some ass?" Again Ryuu snorted, knowing full well that his words would be true. “Why in the world would I want to watch the fight you have already decided you were going to win. Where’s the fun in that?” The red head followed him any way as a show of support. She glanced at Joel and Shizuna, wondering if they were going to make a comment on what she said. Hearing nothing from them, her gaze slid back to the ring.
It would seem the fight may actually go to the man Tenshin had referred to as chubby. Ryuu watched in with some interest at the use of shunpo in the match. Her watchful eye didn’t miss the technique her ebony haired friend attempted to use but she couldn’t remember the name of it. She had no intention of asking him either. In the end Tenshin was declared the winner after a punch turned the lights out for his opponent. Ryuu was actually rather curious as to when he had trained to use shunpo like that. Sure she could do the same but not with the same efficiency as Joel or him. In truth Ryuu was kinda terrible at it but that didn’t keep her from trying.
He stepped down from the ring with a whole new set of wounds. The fourth division must really love. The corner of her lips twitched into a smile but it was quelled when he drapped his arm and eventually more of his body onto Shizuna. The other woman was probably seething under the potentially unwanted weight but then again maybe she’d be thoughtful and hold her tongue. I would have punched him by now.
"Beating meatheads tuckers me out pretty good, I'm just gunna...take a nap back at the barracks, you guys enjoy without me!" From what she could see he probably wasn’t going to make it past five feet of them. Ryuu shook her head again. “Tenshin I don’t think you’d make it past the festival grounds if at you manage to get yourself off Shizuna’s shoulder that is.” Looking over to Joel, Ryuu thought she heard a grumble but dismissed it. On further thought she couldn’t find Naratsuki but she wouldn’t be surprised if he was off playing a game or something.
She looked back at Tenshin and frowned. She could either let Tenshin leave by himself and risk him collapsing somewhere so she can stay with the others or she could accompany him to the barracks or the clinic and keep an eye on him. Ryuu ended up glaring at Tenshin in the process but finally decided to go with the latter. “I’m taking you to the barracks Tenshin whether you like it or not. . . besides I need to change out of this. I can’t stand wearing it anymore.” She said in something of a growl. It had been a long time since she had shown such concern but considering she also intended to change out one could assume it was a mixture of self interest and concern. Ryuu threw his arm over her shoulder with her right arm between them. “I’ll see you guys later.” Glaring at Tenshin again, Ryuu helped him to the barracks.
