Ryuu Shosuke
The large crowd that had gathered for the expedition was quite unexpected to Ryuu. She was aware that there would be many from each squad going through with this plan, but she didnât think it would have been this many. It didnât surprise her though when some of the other shinigami were getting restless. The redhead herself was also beginning to feel antsy. They were all waiting for the call to pass through the Senkaimon but alas, it wouldnât be for another ten minutes until they were allowed to leave. Ryuu examined the faces of her peers with interest, trying her best gauge what was going through their minds.
She had only gone to the human world once however it was just for a training exercise. It was completely different to what they were doing now. They had to wear gigais for the majority of this mission unless they had to confront an adversary. Ryuu grumbled under her breath and held her sword closer to her body. Earlier that morning one of her seated squad members suggested that she get something to hold her sword in so that she could free up her hands. Ryuu understood that having a sling of some kind to hold her zanpakuto would be helpful. She would have full mobility of her arms, but Ryuu couldnât bring herself to. As much as she hated to admit, and she had no intention of sharing this knowledge with her friends, Ryuu has begun to depend on the warmth and security Ten no Bana gave her while in her arms like this.
The thought of the others hearing such a sappy line made Ryuu scowl at them. Her eyes darted away in a fruitive manner. Those same eyes noticed Lt. Hosoi was approaching the mass of shinigami. The shinigami that had gathered for the expedition became alert immediately. Ryuu watched the Lt. for a moment and a grin began to make its way on her face.
Finally the lieutenant gave the call. The downside to being so close to the front was that those behind them were rushing to get through. To avoid being trampled Ryuu ran ahead of the others but made sure not to separate from them completely.
It was the early morning with the sun just barely peeking out over the tops of the houses. Ryuu was already up along with whoever else however she was outside. They were stationed at some apartment complex along with a few otherâs for the duration of the expedition. There wasnât much to do that she found interesting, but there was a large river that Ryuu was currently spending her time at. Ryuu liked the way the water sparkled with the morning sun, and the air still felt crisp. Looking around, Ryuu made sure no one was around to see her. Satisfied that she wouldnât be spotted, the redhead began going through some exercises. Under normal circumstances she wouldnât have cared if someone saw her but being in a gigai was not something she was used to.
Like almost everyone else, Ryuu moved around in her gigai awkwardly. She felt heavy and sluggish wearing the damn thing. It was also frustrating. She couldnât get it to move the way she wanted it to sometimes which was why she was going through these exercises. Ryuu needed to get used to moving in this body.
At one point, Ryuu tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground with her face red with anger. âDammit.â She punched the ground out of irritation before sitting back on her heels. The human world was a strange one at least to her. They hadnât gotten any calls and they hadnât noticed anything amiss just yet, so theyâve been exploring the area. Today would be a good day to explore again. Standing back up, Ryuu brushed off the grass and dirt from her body. Once back at the apartment Ryuu checked in to see who was still around. âHey Iâm gonna go exploring. Does anyone want to come with?â The expedition seemed like it would be some crazy hardship but so far it was relaxed. Ryuu got a towel to wipe off some of the sweat but decided changing clothes entirely would be a better idea. She threw on some random tee shirt she had found and grey sweatpants. Wearing clothes that werenât her uniform also felt weird, but she was getting used to it.
