Captains & Lieutenants & Others

0 · 431 views · located in Seireitei

a character in “Bleach: A New Era”, originally authored by Polarisbear12, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

First Division, Truth and Innocence
Captain: Nanaziryoko Myugamine
Zanpakuto: Unknown
Often referred to as the strongest Shinigami to ever live, Nanaziryoko is often times seen as a stern and by the book Captain Commander. Her word is law with only the Central 46 being comparable, though even they often succumb to her will. However, behind closed doors she is shown to be quite friendly and approachable, often consoling and inspiring struggling shinigami. Her age isn't known, and she will never reveal it.
Lieutenant: Goro Sugisaki
Zanpakuto: Kyuoki
A man known for his indifference, he is never seen outside the sight of the Captain Commander. His station often confuses young shinigami into believing him to be the strongest Lieutenant, for which they would be mistaken.

Second Division, Seek Nothing
Captain: Jiro Funaki
Zanpakuto: Michibashiri
Currently the youngest Captain, Jiro is known as the fastest shinigami in the Gotei 13. He has a playful personality, often seen with a trusting smile across his face. He is known to take pleasure in teasing the members of his division.
Lieutenant: Nanako Tanata
Zanpakuto: Shizukana kaze
Despite her looks, Nanako is a serious woman, and she is most often the butt of her Captains jokes. She takes care of the majority of the second divisions duties while her Captain wanders around Seireitei.

Third Division, Despair
Captain: Tomu Hirasan
Zanpakuto: Tarutarosu
Tomu Hirasan rarely smiles. In fact, there is currently a reward placed by Jiro Funaki for evidence that the man has ever smiled. He is the embodiment of his Division and carries that with honor.
Lieutenant: Miratu Asigiri
Zanpakuto: Wārudočtā
Miratu walks in a constant state of injury, often being able to only get around by his crutch. It is believed that his Zanpakuto spirit is so violent, that every time he tries to communicate with it past shikai, the spirit nearly kills him. He doesn't like to be pitied and will often shrug off those who try to comfort him. He is a straightforward individual who will not respond well to disrespect.

Fourth Division, Those Who Grieve Are Loved
Captain: Nikku Runiko
Zanpakuto: YasashÄŤ Atataka-sa
Often taking first in Shinigami women's polls for favorite Captain, Nikku is a kind and honest man who is known for his hospitality to all shinigami, even those outside the division. Despite his youthful appearance, pictures exist of him with the Captain Commander as old as a thousand years.
Lieutenant: Ceri Hikkigaya
Zanpakuto: Shisen o shizumeru
Known as a timid and reserved woman, Ceri is often silent in important matters and will often only share her opinion with her Captain. Despite this reserved nature, she is known as one of the best healers in Seireitei.

Fifth Division, Sacrifice, Danger, Pure Love, Humility, Sweetness
Captain: Rōra Myugamine
Zanpakuto: Suiren
As the daughter of the Captain Commander, Rōra has mighty big shoes to fill. Due to this reason she often comes across as elegant, yet rebellious, often making it difficult to discern what she is actually thinking. To her, her mother’s word is law and she will never fail to carry it out.
Lieutenant: Keito Kenziko
Zanpakuto: Harikēn
One could make a case that Keito is one of the bravest shinigami around. One could also make the case that he is one of the most stupid. Never thinking before leaping, Keito has a tendency to jump head first into danger at a moment’s notice. Always earnest, he has a boy-like quality that endears him to others.

Sixth Division, Noble Reason
Captain: Ganji Uchigen
Zanpakuto: Saigo no toppĹŤ
Born to one of the great noble houses, Ganji is an incredibly skilled warrior. With many already pegging him to be the next Captain Commander, this man of few words seems to have limitless potential. Ganji has a reputation as being a stoic man who mostly keeps to himself and rarely shares his views on policies within soul society.
Lieutenant: Oryaka Mino
Zanpakuto: Min'yō
A gifted young man with a mind for strategy and Kido. Much like his Captain, he is ever calm and silent, rarely showing his emotions to the outside world.
Seventh Seat:Gen Sakumoto
Zapakuto: Mizu no Kishi
Gen is one of the best in his squad. He's most notable for not needing to recite the entire spell. While he may not be the fastest in his squad, he certainly is quick on his feet. Gen is good at using shunpo multiple times but he can only go short distances at the moment. Upon releasing his shikai Mizu no Kishi loses its form altogether to become a ring of liquid. By moving the hilt of the zapakuto Gen is able to shoot the water in various directions and can call them back when needed. Ultimately the zanpakuto is good for defense. Gen is by far the friendliest shinigami you will come across however he's also very competitive and can be quite blunt with his words.

Seventh Division, Courage
Image
Captain: Kaiden Hachigane
Zanpakuto: Dōbu~tsuen no shiikukakari
Believed to be as old as the Captain Commander, Kaiden is a wise and well respected Captain who treats his subordinates and fellow Captains with respect and honor. Rarely seen without one of his many pets, he has a reputation for collecting animals of varying ages and species, and making homes for them in the division barracks. For this reason he is often scolded by his lieutenant and the Captain Commander.
Lieutenant: Shizuru Hachigane
Zanpakuto: Monban
Grand-daughter of her Captain, rumors often circle within other divisions that she was given her position through connections rather than actual skill. Due to her age and inexperience, she is often ignored by members of the squad. Despite this she is very upfront and will address any issues that come her way.

Eighth Division, Everything Is Obtained
Captain: Shinichiro Megami
Zanpakuto: Kyōhaku kan'nen
Widely regarded as the best swordsman outside of Kenpachi, Shinichiro is a stern, training-obsessed Captain who rarely does his duties as Captain, often leaving it to his lieutenant. He is considered the best Hakuda specialist in the Gotei 13, winning a Shinigami tournament 98 years in a row.
Lieutenant: Hiro Eitei
Zanpakuto: Bakkubōn
More of a clerk than anything, Hiro runs the Eighth Division, as his Captain shows little interest in doing so. Despite his secretary like status, he earned his seat and should not be taken lightly.

Ninth Division, Oblivion
Captain: Kazuya Kinazuo
Zanpakuto: Hanran-gun no sakebigoe
Probably the most rebellious of the Captains, Kazuya rarely obeys orders and will more often than not go out of his way to anger the other Captains. His rebellious attitude stems more from a desire to just do what in his mind is right. His Captain status is constantly on thin ice.
Lieutenant: Rei Wakizen
Zanpakuto: Baretto
In direct opposition to his Captain, Rei is a stickler for the rules and will often report his Captain for breaking them. Despite this, he is still loyal to his Captain, willing to face any challenge the two may encounter. He will often rat out other shinigami to the Captain Commander, much to the annoyance of said Commander.

Tenth Division, Mystery
Captain: Junichi Ichiran
Zanpakuto: Kōya no ō
A relatively new Captain, Junichi is known for his laid back deposition and nervousness around the other Captains. Still viewing himself as a Lieutenant, he will often reveal his more humorous side in the company of lower shinigami and Lieutenants.
Lieutenant: Mia Onayoko
Zanpakuto: Horonigai
Due to the indecisive nature of her Captain, Mia can basically do whatever she wants within the Division. She rarely takes things seriously and will often involve herself in the matters of others just for something to do.

Eleventh Division, Fight
Captain: Kenpachi Hakarashi
Zanpakuto: Gurētodibaido
Given the name Kenpachi as the Captain of the Eleventh Division, Hakarashi is a man obsessed with fighting. His greatest wish is to die on the battlefield, and his greatest strength is his feral prowess on the field. Often seen laughing during combat, many believe Hakarashi to be insane. Off the battlefield he is confrontational and arrogant.
Lieutenant: Currently vacant. The last Lieutenant challenged Hakarashi for the title of Captain and Kenpachi. Those who saw the fight said it was over in less than five seconds. A new record for Kenpachi.

Twelfth Division, Vengeance, Strictness, Independence
Captain: Nagi Shironame
Zanpakuto: Maddohattā
The mad scientist of the Gotei 13, Nagi has a reputation for going above and beyond to see his experiments to their full potential. He is often at odds with the other Captains, mostly as a result of him going past reasonable boundaries in the name of science. He is known to be sarcastic, witty, and will often talk down to others.
Lieutenant: Chiho Hosoi
Zanpakuto: Ningyō
Probably the only one trusted enough within the Twelfth Division to keep Nagi in check, Chiho Hosoi is a tomboyish girl with a genius level IQ and a real knack for annoying her Captain. If someone needs something from Magi, most just approach Chiho as she has a way to manipulate him unlike any other.

Thirteenth Division, Hope
Captain: Kira Hanakonawa
Zanpakuto: Kyoei kokoro
Born to one of the Great Noble Houses, Kira Hanakonawa has earned the respect of her fellow Captains and shinigami not through name, but through action. She is a proud woman with a laundry list of accomplishments. Even in times of great peril, she exhibits a calming maturity and fortitude.
Lieutenant: Maria Watanabe
Zanpakuto: Morosa
A recently seated Lieutenant, Maria has idolized Kira since she entered the Thirteenth Division. Straightforward and honest, Maria tends to be shy around others from different divisions and will rarely approach them. She has a habit of stuttering when talking to people she doesn't know.

So begins...

On a night such as this one could surely expect those in Rukongai and Sereitei were relaxing in the cool air. And it was true the crickets provided for a harmonious noise, occasional bursts of laughter rang in the air. The cool silence was calming to many in the Rukongai, it spoke volumes to them almost promising that there would be no danger for that night.

However it seemed like a small group of Shinigami thought otherwise. Considering the serenity of the night the group had been hoping to relax with some of the more suspicious characters in the Rukongai. They had been tasked to search the wilderness of the Rukongai of any Hollows. Lately the few who lived close to the forest had been complaining of strange sounds and shadowy figures walking through the woods. It seemed the group of nameless Shinigami had other plans. They had made sure to sneak in a few alcoholic beverages and even now were taking swigs from their last bottle of sake. But they were aware of their orders so they did look for any Hollows just not in the way one should.

The group stopped where they were, it seemed the majority of them had become a tad bit tipsy. As was notable by their flushed faces, slurred speech and bumbling steps. One man sat down but as soon as he did a jumble of sounds erupted behind him. He shot up reaching for his zanpakuto, he glared into the dark while his friends laughed. "It's just some animal I bet" said one man, he merely grumbled to himself and was about to sit back down when something flashed out of the darkness. A large white hand grabbed him from behind, engulfing his head completely and pulling him back into the dark.

The tipsy shinigami barely had enough time to yell. By then the rest of his group stared at the spot he had just been, one of them even dared to venture closer asking for him to come out. That was a grave mistake on his part as that same white hand, now bloodied, grabbed his head and pulled in away. The remaining shinigami stared in confusion before the sounds of their comrades being torn apart reached their ears. Stiffening it wasn’t until the creature that had taken their friends burst out of the forest did the remaining shinigami flee. They ran as quickly as they could but they lost one more comrade, so now there was only three of the six shinigami left.

The trio entered a clearing slowing down to a complete stop as they regained their breathing. One of them looked up towards the deathly woods they had just escaped, “Do you think we lost it?” turning to his other companions who merely gave out raspy replies of hope. “Call for a Jigokuchō and send the squads a message. They need to know what happened.” wheezed one of the men. “Yeah send them one, we’ll keep watch.” Nodding in response he summoned a Jigokuchō and began to relay his message. “May I have your attention, and please listen carefully. We have-“ the man never finished relaying the message as screams erupted behind him. Looking back he saw his remaining comrades torn apart by some sort of grotesque creature, however he never got the chance to have a good look at it or to even finish his report before he too was dead.

On the other hand the Jigokuchō, unaware of what was occurring around it, had recorded the sounds of the brief and sickening struggle. It flew off to its designated direction even though it carried a broken message; it fluttered in the sky almost disappearing in the dark night. No one that had encountered the creature that night knew what killed them. Only the moon daring to shine its luminescent light on the clearing bore witness to the slaughter that occurred under its watch.

The Next Day


Talk of the Jigokuchō relaying the unfinished and disturbing message spread like wildfire amongst the many squads. None wished to investigate further while the Captains did their best to calm their men down, with elaborate and sometimes short speeches. However it did seem to stick in the minds of some, especially those in the 13th division. Their Captain, Kira Hanakonawa, managed to calm many of them down but was given orders from the Captain of the First Division to stand down while they prepared for a meeting. Sadly due to the many duties a Captain would have to fulfill it will take a couple days for them to get around to it and some of the Captains have simply considered the deaths of the nameless shinigami to be the result of drunkards being attacked by a hollow.

Ryuu Shosuke


The red head watched in awe as Tenshin moved however at one point she blacked out. It wasn't until a bright flare of red light brought her back and she knew that Tenshin used Shakkahō. A faint smile found its way on her lips. Ryuu couldn't understand how Tenshin was still standing. He headed in her direction and she attempted to move forwards realizing she had slipped to the floor when she had blacked out. Her zanpakuto was lying beside her slick with blood as well. Forcing herself to focus on Tenshin she saw the light in his eyes disappear as he pressed his scarf onto her shoulder wound. Wincing in pain Tenshin then collapsed before her. "Dammit."

Her head was light from blood loss but she needed to get Tenshin back to the others. Ryuu looked at her blonde friend closely this time and simply couldn't figure out where she was supposed to grab him. Swallowing a lump in her throat Ryuu set her jaw and stood up on shaky legs. If it weren't for her zanpakuto she'd never would have been able to stand up. Making sure to grab Tenshin by the underside of his arm it wasn't hard for her to drag/carry him. The red head certainly was strong but it was difficult to follow through with her shoulder wound. She couldn't even move her arm which made Ryuu worry about what will happen when it heals, if it ever does.

Frowning Ryuu bit her lip as she adjusted her hold on Tenshin. Grimacing in pain she didn't get very far but it was enough for her to barely make out the clearing. With one last step Ryuu's eyes began to lose focus as darkness began to creep into her field of vision and she collasped forwards. However she never met the ground rather a pair of strong arms gently rested her to the ground. Blinking a couple times she could make out the forms of people. Confused she turned her head to see Tenshin's face close to her own. His eyes closed Ryuu wondered if he'd wake up considering his wounds. With that last thought Ryuu fell into the darkness.

Reinforcements had arrived but they never really expected to find what they did. Four severely wounded shinigami and another two that had sustained mild wounds that if they didn't receive treatment soon they could easily become fatal. In Reika's case a shinigami appeared before her and with a quick swing of his sword the hollow was cut in half. Turning to face Reika he bent down low to inspect her wounds and called out to one of the accompanying medics to focus their attention on the girl. Suddenly a strong presence filled the air and for those who had not lost conscious could see that the 13th Squad Captain had appeared before them. Her face piqued with worry she set her sights on Joel who required two shinigami to force him to step away from the long since defeated hollow.

Although they certainly dealt with the hollows, there was a dark presence. Looking around the Captain did her best to pin point it but to no avail. Her gut feeling certainly wasn't lying for there was someone watching them from afar. The cloaked figure seemed to stand above the air. It merely regarded the shinigami below it as a means of gathering data. This was just a test that had failed but next time they would succeed. With that thought in mind the figure disappeared and with it the dark presence it unknowingly exerted from itself.

The group of six was then taken to the 4th Squad's clinic; they made sure Reika received the utmost attention considering her stomach wound. For the most part none of them would be waking up any time soon. It would take them two-three days to awaken and even longer before their wounds could fully heal. However due to some of their comrades extensive wounds they’d be bed ridden for maybe a week longer. Those of the six who were well enough to leave bed were then called to a meeting of Captains. Once there the they were lectured for having done what they did and were then put on what Ryuu considered probation. They were to take no part in their respective squads activities, patrols anything related to actually fulfilling the duties of a shinigami. Once they were told all this they were dismissed to do as they pleased, under strict restriction, but they were not allowed to act as shinigami until their probation was over. The end of their probation period had yet to be decided but that wasn’t all. It was up to their Captains to decide how they’d further punish their shinigami, if they cared to punish them at all.

Stepping out of the building Ryuu sighed tiredly, looking down at her right arm she hated the fact that it was in a sling. “Now to figure out what to do.” she said to herself quietly. Now that they couldn’t do anything as shinigami she wondered what the other were thinking of doing. Not bothering to voice her curiosity Ryuu headed back to barracks, she’d most likely visit everyone again later that day.

#, as written by Citadel
Ki was thankful that the Captain showed up when she did, as by this point he had lost all feeling in his arm from where the Hollow had hit him. He wasn't about to pass out, but he knew he would be hurting for a while. He looked to the others, knowing they were going to survive, but hating himself for not being able to do more. "If only," He wasn't able to finish that thought as the reinforcements approached him to check on his wounds. "Don't, I'm fine. Help the others, I'm just going to sit here and wait til we're ready to move." The Shinigami nodded as Ki plopped down on the ground and took a heavy sigh. "'Hey, why don't you recommend we all o do something else?' Yeah, great idea brain." Ki chuckled slightly to himself, as he felt his breaths getting heavier. That hollow really did a number on his chest when it pinned him. Ki looked over to Reika, knowing his friend got the worst of it. "Tomorrow's going to suck, I just know it is." Standing u as the group seemed ready to go, Ki picked his sword back up and followed the group back to Seireitei.

Ki was one of the few able to attend the meeting the next day, somewhat relieved to find out that the Captain's would be punishing them. Ki was a nobody in his Division, so his Captain would probably end up forgetting all about him. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Though his arm still hurt and was heavily bandaged, Ki found himself spending an ungodly amount of time cleaning the barracks. Turns out, his Captain was not exactly a fan of rule-breakers. He was probably the least injured out the group, being released into his Captain's custody immediately after the meeting. A few hours past and Ki had finally removed every speck of dust from the living quarters, calling his work done for the day. Plus, the others were probably close to, or already discharged from the Fourth Division. Ki left the confines of his Barracks and found himself wandering aimlessly around the streets of Seireitei.

With a quick jump, Ki was on top of on of the many buildings within Seireitei. He looked out across the vast city with disinterested eyes, his ears telling him it was destined to be another boring, quiet day within the walls. He was officially on probation, though it wasn't like he was ever doing any real Shinigami activities to begin with. He looked down at his Zanpakuto, the scabbard clutched firmly in his left hand. It hadn't been as suffocating since the night in the forest, but Ki did not think the two were connected. It would do this sometimes, like it was giving up on its prey until another opportunity presented itself. Ki decided if he was destined to waste yet another day, he might as well do something actually beneficial to someone.

Ki purchased some food from a small restaurant, caring the contents in his still weak right hand. The pain was bearable though as he made his way to the Fourth Division Barracks. He found the room where his recovering friends were being kept. He didn't know how many were still there, if any were at all. But, he knew Reika would at least still be recovering considering her wounds, so at least he could share his food with her. He didn't know whether Ryuu, Tenshin, or Shizuna were still there. It felt a kind of weird mixture of wanting them to be there so he could eat with someone, but also not wanting them to be there because then they would still be injured. Complex thoughts, right? Ki slid the door open and held out the food. "Sup, I got some top quality noodles and vegetables for anyone still recovering. Its not much, but its got to taste better than what their giving you." A nurse was standing in the room and quickly left as Ki entered, clicking her tongue as they past each other. "'Hey, Ki, why don;t you just open your mouth right when you enter a room? Other people? No, who cares about them.' I have to stop doing that." Ki put his Zanpakuto down and sat the food on a table, removing the to-o containers from the bag and allowing the smell to fill the room.

Shizuna woke up early that morning. For the first night in a while, Shizuna felt well rested. Her abdominal pain usually kept her from earning a good night's sleep; often stirring her awake from sudden sharp pains that shot throughout her body. That night her body must have been at peace. Still as she rose up and out of her bed she felt around her torso. It was still sore to be sure, but she was told it would be sore for a little while. Yet, it wasn't debilitating pain where she couldn't move about and perform chores. It was more of an discomfort. As she dressed herself, a knock came to her door. She wasn't sure who it was but she wasn't looking forward to an early morning visit. She grudgingly opened the door to reveal that it was in fact Lieutenant Hachigane. Shizuna was slightly surprised to see the Lieutenant pay her a visit. Although if she was here to see her then she possibly as something for her to do.

"Good morning Shizuna!" She spoke with pep. "I have some good news, or bad news...depending on how you look at it." She spoke rather cutesy.

Shizuna found the Lieutenant to be a bit quirky. Of course she does seem a bit nervous speaking with her but Shizuna believes shes like this with everyone in her squad.

"Well what is it?" She asked as she rolled her hand for her to continue.

"Yes, well, Captain Hachigane has decided to relieve you of Animal Clean-up for a more enjoyable assignment. He has decided that you would like better to help assist in the setup of the Founding Day Festival!" She spoke with joy.

Shizuna's face betrayed no mutual feelings on the matter. Whether it be Animal Cleanup or Festival Preparation, none of it was what she felt as a Shinigami needs to do. Still the job was a nice change of pace from, disposing animal waste. She nodded as the Lieutenant smiled, obviously pleased Shizuna would do this. As the Lieutenant left giving her a list of things to do, Shizuna prepared herself to head towards the center of the festivities. The Founding Day Festival was quite a big to do, with souls even coming from the Rukongai to celebrate the formation of the 13 Court Guard Squads. Shes reviewed the Gotei 13's history during her time in the Academy. It was interesting to say the least.

She figured she wasn't going to be the only out there working on this thing. She had the funny feeling that her friends would be forced into helping out as well. She arrived to the area she was to be working on. She looked at some Shinigami already assisting in the preparations. None of them so far are her friends. "They must not be here yet." She thought. She then took out her list and gave it a look over. "I better start, the sooner I finish this list, the sooner I can do other things."

Gen Sakumoto


It had been a long while since he last attended the festival. There really wasn't much to do that he hadn't done before so he stopped coming to them. However tonight he was requested to accompany a few certain individuals while they enjoyed the festival. Gen didn't care about having to attend as the idea of earning some money overshadowed the whole thing. With a heavy sigh Gen folded his arms. He watched the trio he was looking after with a look of boredom. Why was he even asked to do this. Normally those who were seated higher got requested to escort nobles. Sure Gen was a seated officer but not significantly so. God this sucks. He wasn't sure which noble family they came from but they were obviously from one that had some influence in the Soul Society otherwise they wouldn't have needed an escort.

One of the girls, she was petite and had lovely black hair and green eyes, scurried away from the other two towards a tent. "Hey. Don't go wondering off. You're gonna make my job harder than it should be." He looked at the other two signaling for them to follow him as he walked in the direction the girl went. When they caught up to her they found that she was talking with a young man close to her age. It would seem he was a the vendor at this particular tent and when Gen stepped back to see what his trade was he scoffed at them. “Are you serious? A fortune teller?” Gen shook his head and waited patiently for the rest of them to get their fortunes told.

He hated the fact that he actually had to inside the tent to watch them just in case the fortune teller was some kidnapper. After what felt like forever they finally finished getting their fortunes read. They exited the tent and the trio immediately went to another vendor that was selling meat on sticks. Wanting some alone time no matter how short lived, Gen watched the girls from a distance. It wasn’t long after his bunch left the fortune teller's tent that another group stood in front of it. The kid who owned the tent had the balls to call out to some of the members and from he could see it was the women. Gen snickered at how the women of the group handled them and he was a bit curious as to who they were. Most females that he encountered loved th idea of getting their fortunes told. Alas he couldn’t stand there for much longer since his charge was moving elsewhere again.

For the briefest of moments he lost them which made him panic a little. Eventually he did find them but not where he expected them to be. They were watching a Hakuda fight and grimaced at every blow landed on an opponent in the ring. Gen approached them from behind, startling them. “You guys never seen people fight before?” The eldest shook her head in an almost pompous manner. He tried to keep from glaring at her but his attention was soon taken elsewhere. The next contenders was between a stocky older man and a guy, who he recognized as one of the member of the eleventh division, with a bunch of bandages. “Hey is he really going to fight with all those wounds?” Gen looked to the youngest and smirked. “You don’t think a man of the eleventh division can handle a few wounds? Just watch them. Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.” And so they watched the fight, well he did anyway. The girls kept looking away in horror.

After the fight was over he himself was starting to want to punch a few things. The girls keep criticizing the poor guy for how stupid he was in having fought in his condition. Gen watched that same guy leave with a woman who was also wounded. Wait don’t tell me these are the guys on probation?” He chuckled to himself. “Hey I need you three to wait here. I’m going to try my hand at this.” Gen approached the group of shinigami who were on probation. “Say mind if I have a word with you?” Speaking to the only guy (Joel) left of the group. When he pulled him aside Gen told him about wanting to fight him.

Joel was disappointed that Tenshin used all of his energy before night even came to pass and the fact that Ryuu left along side him hadn't made the situation any better. It was mainly because he didn't wake up in the morning wanting to come to the festival in the first place and when he was beginning to enjoy it a little, all of his friends were gone. All except Shizuna who was still there, at least for the time being, though that wasn't much help either. In the spectrum of noises that the people around them generated she didn't give any contributions, nor did she give him a need to contribute either. He was sure they could have some sort of conversation, but was deterred from starting one. So far, throughout knowing the woman, he hadn't caught the blunt of her attack when it came to her criticism, but he knew that this far in anything he would say had better meant something or she might look down on it. She was too much of a mystery and Joel wasn't going to offend her by talking about something she had no interest in or bringing up something that was out of her personality. That, and he didn't know any topic of interest to talk about, though he thought of saying ''Wasn't that a good fight?'', but decided not to, having no follow up if she were to reply with a one word or comeback sentence. So this was good for him. He enjoyed the silence and leaning while paying attention to nothing. He imagined that she liked it too, otherwise she'd say something or move away. Then again, she could just be in deep thought like he was, but he thought against it since one of his teachers told him a long time ago that he spends more time in his head than anybody should. The man would agree that he did and that it was probably because of this that he wasn't good at talking, but still he thinks out everything he does. The only time he doesn't have to think is when he was doing physical exercise.

The good thing about Tenshin and Ryuu being gone was that the food tickets Tenshin won and the ones he had before that were left to just two people now. Joel ate as neatly as he could. While eating, he looked around seeing people laughing and cheering, completely enjoying the day. It was a wonder. Especially since a group of people had just died not even a month prior. That was how war worked he supposed. This everlasting battle with the hollows has been going on for so long that people didn't dote on them. Instead, they took the days that their weren't any troubles and used them to live. Thinking about that, Joel wondered if he should stop doting on things too, a thought that always passes his mind. He then looked over at Shizuna who was as unreadable as anyone could be. Then he began rambling inside of his head about the many things they could possibly talk about and how he'd just say something dumb or have nothing good to say in the first place.

Finally when he finished his cabbob, the man stood up from the bench outside the meat shop ready to do something, even though his actions weren't fast and rugged enough express. "Hey," he called to her in almost a whisper. He had wanted to ask if she wanted to leave and go back to her barracks, but was interrupted when he was pulled aside. The man who had wanted to talk to him seemed a little on the manly side, but less wild than Tenshin. He was nice enough to ask first if Joel wanted to speak to him, but still pulled him along the arm even though he was a complete stranger. Joel looked back quickly at Shizuna, giving no signs of being uncomfortable on his face, though he did feel it, and put up a finger so she'd know he'd be back. He just hoped she wouldn't leave him by himself.

The man explained his situation of working a babysitting job, which Joel found weird that he'd just leave the babies in question by themselves, but since it wasn't his problem and today was a good day with good people, he didn't say anything. Apparently, the man wanted to fight Joel for some reason. It didn't seem like there was any malice towards the fight, but Joel still didn't know. It also seemed like the man was a warrior at heart. Joel wouldn't have been surprised if he was Soul Reaper, save the fact that he couldn't tell which division would have babysitting detail. Still, since he seemed sincere, Joel agreed. "Okay. Just let me take off this coat."

Usually, the lad wouldn't take off any layer of clothing in front of a crowd of people, preferring to keep them from looking at his tattoos, not to mention himself in general. The only difference was that today he was wearing a pretty expensive piece of clothing, white with gold lines through the collar and wrists. This is what he'd define as formal wear, and preferred to keep the formal away from the informal and far from the brutality that was his essence of man. For seeing his friend fight had awakened something inside of him. Something that only comes out when he either thinks too much, or is around violence. Now, with this new person Joel felt eager. Eager to show at least someone something. Even if he didn't know what that something was. One top of that, he also wanted to see where those grueling weeks of training had left him.

He returned to the area he had left Shizuna, sighing to relief that she was still there. When he walked within ears reach of her, he said, "Could you hold this for me?" taking off his coat and leaving nothing but the black dress shirt he had on underneath. He played around with his tie, wondering if he should have kept it on or took it off, but decided to keep it. He wore a tie when he fought hollows and decided he'd wear one even if he's sparring a person. "I'm going to fight that guy that just came over here." After saying that, he left and walked towards the Hakuda ring where he was to meet his opponent. He wished he could be energized before the fight like Tenshin and ask Shizuna to cheer him on, but the words never left his tongue. He didn't expect her to even watch and in truth that made him feel a little better. For since he didn't have a sword, he'd have to use his martial expertise which combined acrobats with fast hard movements. It was his own style and he'd be nervous if she were watching him anyway. Though she could have been, it made him comfortable not to know either way.

Joel wasn't much for words as usual and just nodded trying to find a way to express his respect for the man without saying anything. Now all that was left between them was an open stage and a referee that only had to give them the signal.

Gen & Joel


Gen had explained to the young shinigami his situation. While he didn't care much for watching over a bunch of noisy girls it meant he might get a good word or two to the noble houses. Then again he wasn't exactly being the best escort at the moment. His patience was running thin with these girl hence why he'd like to fight this kid. Gen quickly walked back to where the girls stood, "So I need you girls to stay over there for a bit,"he gestured towards where his opponents friend stood, "I'm going to have a quick duel with a fellow I know." The girls simply looked at him, the youngest even looked a little disappointed but he didn't pay mind to it.

With the girls in tow Gen brought them to where the girl (Shizuna) stood. Afterwards he stepped into the Hakuda ring, making sure to roll up the sleeves of his uniform. " Names Gen by the way. So what brings you here my fellow comrade in arms? On a date with the pretty miss over there now that your friends are gone?" He let out a chuckle as he got into a stance. "Well pleasantries aside let's get this show on the road and as a heads up, I'm a very competitive guy." He grinned at Joel and awaited the signal for the ref to give so they could start.

Joel stood silently looking at his opponent. Though his demeanor was calm, it was just a facade for his hindered nerves. Usually it would be normal for a little adrenaline to rush through his veins in a fight, but this was more of a competition, and though he wasn’t the type of person to shy away from a challenge, this was different. Maybe it was the first time since his graduation exam that he had a diverse set of eyes staring at him. His eyes wandered around the crowd, scouting for nothing in particular, but still, he caught a vibe that made his heart rate rise. When his opponent stepped into the ring he was more than relieved. For at least now he had someone he could focus on. Before Gen had took his stance he said something about a date, which took Joel a while to register. He would have answered, if he knew what to say to that type of question and if the shoutcaster for the competition didn’t start his spule. Joel ignored the words waiting for the man to just say “Fight” already, though he had to admit the man’s voice was good background noise. Now that his ears and eyes were both focused he paid attention to his body making sure that it was focused enough to bring about the muscle memory he trained it to have. He was ready as far as he was concerned and soon everything went silent. Everything except…

“Fight!!!”

Once the word had been said Joel dragged his right foot in front of his left planning on letting loose a hard sidekick, though from the distance between the two all he would end up was kicking air. That’s what it looked like from the start, though he had other plans. Before letting loose the kick, the shunpò user used his left leg to push himself forward, flexing the muscles in his calves before rocketing forward. The bullet like speed would have been good enough for most, but Joel didn’t want to underestimate someone whom he had just met. After all, someone trusted in this man to guard their kids. So instead of extending his leg onto the man, leaving himself available for counter, he used a faint, kicking just passed the side of the man resting all his weight on his ball of his left foot. Once past the man he used his abdominal muscles to pull back on his extended right leg, swinging it as hard aiming his kick to the back of Gen’s neck.

That one word was all Gen needed to hear and it would seem he wasn't the only one who thought so. The young man before him lifted up his right foot in a position to give Gen a good kick however the seasoned shinigami knew that the kid had a trick up his sleeve. There was no way he'd attempt to kick him from so far and the only way to do so was by using shunpo. Joel shot forwards with surprising speed. While Gen did not specialize in shunpo like this kid he certainly knew how to handle shunpo users when the need arises. Gen quickly stepped to the left not realizing until it nearly too late that Joel's first attack was a feint. He just barely had time to throw himself forwards, a bit clumsily actually, to avoid the kick to the back of his head.

He was quick to recover though and retaliated with his own kick. This one was aimed at the left leg to trip him up. Regardless of whether it worked or not Gen jumped back onto his feet. For the briefest of moments he thought of doing one of two things. Throwing a couple jabs at Joel's midsection or rush him and hope to throw him out of the ring. Deciding the the former was a lot safer, Gen pulled back his left arm and would then punch Joel in the midsection with an open palm.

Joel pulled his leg, checking the kick to avoid joint injury, but was left with only one leg to balance his stance. Usually he wouldn’t mind taking a few blows, though when Gen’s palm reached his abdominal center, it was as if he insides were trying to shrink, with all of his muscles flexing and nerves trying to focus on that one spot. Of course, that was all within the contact of the blow. After the glimpse of pain, Joel was sent off of his feet to his back, where he rolled with until he was back on his knees.

The tumble was gritty, given the make of dirt the fights were set on. Still, it didn’t phase the man, so much as make him wonder what kind of power a person could put into a palm strike to damage one's insides. He also noted that the placement of the strike was almost expertly planned, seeing as Joel’s core was a major backing to his power. If Joel was worried on time, it may have been his downfall, but he doubted the fight would last long enough to break his strongest area. Still, he didn’t want to take many more blows such as that one, Seeing as he just ate, he’d imagine he’d be re-tasting a few delicacies that probably would be abominations the next time he saw them.

It was obvious that the best way to approach Gen was to keep constant flow of movement while using his Shunpò, but the question was, how was he supposed to go about doing it. The strength in his legs (if used to exert max potential) would cause him only a bullet line of attack. If Joel knew how to stop, or even make hard 180 degree snaps, he’d probably have a better chance. Joel took a few seconds to look around the ring while bouncing from side to side on the balls of his feet. He had a plan made by this point, and with his last bounce, he shot from one side of the ring, to another, completely missing Gen’s path. Once he approached one of the poles that held the ring ropes in place, he pushed his foot against it, bouncing off and gaining more momentum. He did this four more times, each time hitting a pole and making noises that rung and cracked like thunder. On his fourth and final trip, the thunder wasn’t heard, and his after image went away until finally a monstrous bang sounded and he came back into view, midway in the air and landing for Gen’s direction like a bomb. Though, it seemed there was an explosion of air and dust, there was no impact, which his opponent should have noticed. Either way, the whole show was enough for Joel to get behind his opponent, appearing from the opposite side of his speeded dopple, to grab his waist and slam him back first into the concrete. All Joel needed was to grab hold of the man and let his strength do the rest.

He was rather happy that he had gone with his second choice although thinking back on it Gen could definitely done more damage. Alas now wasn't the time to thinking about such things. Seated shinigami kept his distance from Joel, not quite sure if he should cover the distance to get to him or wait. Gen's biggest concern was his opponents shunpō. There was no real way of determining his skill level with the technique in the little time he had. His eyes watched Joel closely as he bounced back and forth on his feet while Gen himself took on a more still but relaxed stance. It would seem the two were waiting for the other to make a move but Gen had no intention of approaching Joel first however it would seem Gen needn't worry. Suddenly Joel shot forwards like had earlier but he had completely missed hitting him.

Gen made sure to dodge him by a wide margin just to be on the safe side. All the while making sure he faced Joel headon. The shinigami's eyes watched Joel as he bounced off the poles. Each time letting loose a sound reminiscent of thunder. There were a great many ways that Joel could proceed with this and Gen standing there waiting for Joel to attack annoyed those watching. Finally they had enough and yelled for Gen to move or do something. It was then that he noticed that Joel had bounced a fourth time but there was no impact. Gen knew in an instant what had occurred but hopefully his body would have the speed to react.

Hands grabbed at his waist and he could feel himself being pulled up and backwards. Almost immediately his hands pressed down on the arm lock as his leg hooked around the outside of Joel's leg. Gen acted on instinct and hopefully he was quick enough to have halted Joel's move. If it did succeed Gens opponent would undoubtedly fall backwards with Gen on top.

Feeling Gen’s struggle, Joel was starting to feel the burn from exerting his speed. His legs were barely strong enough to life the man off the ground and there he was struggling and making Joels time all the more difficult. He ended up falling on his back with Gen on top. His only chance was to take Gen’s neck, but with shortness of breath from the fall he found himself just wrestling with the man instead. Besides from a few hits and knees here and there, Joel wasn’t able to do much and since his clothes were dirty anyway he rolled away in order to get back to his feet. Once Gen was back up, Joel didn’t wait a single second before throwing fast strikes at the man. The strikes were just as blinding as before, but he could feel the weight his limbs carried from his muscles to his bones. Gen was a good fighter. It made the young shinigami want to fight him even more. Though, as much as he fought, he realized that he didn’t have the endurance at the moment to fight for much longer. Had this been on a different day, he’d figure it’d probably end the same too. Just would’ve took longer. The winner and loser would be the same. That very thought made him want to beat this guy. A guy who seemed to endure over his endurance.

He looked his adversary in the eyes, still unaware of the gap between them. With a final thrust of his fist, all of his speed and strength went to discharge his foe.

They did indeed fall back with Gen still on top. The two made a loud thud as they hit the ground and Gen winced as he had landed on his leg a bit awkwardly. Gen struggled with Joel who he guessed was aiming to take him by the neck. Wrestling around for a moment as he was kneed and elbowed, Gen was finally free from Joel’s body lock as the younger Shinigami rolled away. The seated officer was quick to jump back on his feet as well but as soon as he did so Joel started to throw quick punches and kicks.

He had some difficulty avoiding every single one of them. A few he dodged and deflected although he could feel the power behind the ones he pushed away. A couple managed to make hits but not after Gen had moved away enough to where he didn’t feel its full impact. The last one hit his arm but Gen could feel that with each strike Joel made, the weaker they became however the speed at which they came was still somewhat consistent. Suddenly seeing an opening Gen made two quick jabs but only one was actually able to land albeit it was light.

The pair looked into each other’s eyes and Gen could see the weariness creeping into Joel’s. While he was a bit sad that Joel was already slowing down Gen applauded his opponent’s determination to win this match. The final move was made while Gen was contemplating the future matches he could have with this new recruit. As such he was just barely able to dodge the blow. He could feel Joel’s fist brush against his cheek and despite not making actual contact Gen could feel the pressure behind his fist. Turning on his heel, Gen brought up his elbow to hit Joel in the side of the head. The blow made contact, causing his opponent to stumble to the side and eventually fall to the ground.

Gen had landed the first solid blow between the two of them and the overseer saw this. Waiting for Joel to sit or stand back up for a minute or two, Joel remained on the ground for that duration. It was just enough to call the winner of the fight. Gen was actually tired from the fight. He didn’t get much chance to fight offensively against Joel since the kid kept him on his toes for the majority of the fight. [b] “Wow. I can’t remember the last time I had such a decent fight. You did good kid.”[/color] Gen staggered a bit on his bruised foot to where Joel was still on the ground, offering his hand as a show of good sportsmanship.

#, as written by Damioa
With all his air pushing for his punch, Joel gritted his teeth as he began to see Gen avoid it. He was so focused on that one attack he wasn't able to tell if he was hit first or missed first. He saw himself missing, but he also heard the sound of a slamming door, which was followed by a brief headache and then, darkness. The dark blurred with the light and the noises around him seemed to cyclone out of control. Finding it was better to keep his eyes closed, began trying to move his body and get the noises out of his head. He rolled over from his side to his stomach, realizing how much of an idiotic move it was to throw all of his strength and speed into one punch. It didn't matter how fast he was if he wasn't good enough to quick stop and maneuver.

Not only that, but he was tired. Really tired. No wonder to him though, since it was he who got himself in this situation. Least he was able to eat earlier. The food enough should have been enough energy. Even so, if he was in his top form, he knew he wouldn't have beaten the man who was in front of him. Maybe if this weren't the soul society. Maybe then would Joel believe otherwise and boast himself. However, he could even feel it in that last blow. Looking back on his whole meeting with the man, Joel had felt something. Something that made him want to fight him in the first place and something that gradually grew more apparent. His spiritual pressure was almost overwhelming. According to the academy, the seated members of the Soul Society all had spiritual pressure that could defeat legions of hollows.

Blinking a few times, his vision came back to him and when he looked up, Gen was there holding his hand out saying, “Wow. I can’t remember the last time I had such a decent fight. You did good kid.”

Joel accepted his hand up and shook it. With a slight bowing nod of his head, he said in return. "Thank you," he said whipping some of the blood out of his mouth. A hint of a smile went on his face. "You're movement and counter skills made me reflect on where I messed up this fight. I have to wonder though. You're not just a babysitter. Are you?" His joking tone hid the fact that it was a real question, but Joel was awfully curious and little sore around his rib cage for some reason. In fact, he had began to feel pains around his whole body which made him gesture for the two men to leave the ring.

On his way out, he was still expecting some sort of answer from Gen, but in the meantime he was trying to find a place to sit. He took his coat from Shizuna who was waiting for him to exit. He winced a few times, but managed to get it on properly with both arms in their sleeves. "We should sit somewhere," he said in a tone that was just as low and uncaring as any other time, but this time there was a hint pain in his voice. He finally found a seat, hoping that Gen would find and answer his question, though either way he'd probably see him again at another festival. He rubbed his legs which were flexed from a spasm he was having. He rubbed down his calves, massaged his ribs and cracked his fingers. Along with some other small things, his body began to heat and cool down. Which wasn't all that good, considering now he was aware that Shizuna was next to him and he had just lost. What was he to say? Did it matter? He thought probably not and stayed silent, leaning back and waiting for her to say something. Either that, or for Gen to walk past. He was so tired, he didn't care what reason he used for closing his eyes for a few moments.
