Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuu followed after Unohana and Hikari as well until the Senkaimon was opened and he stopped behind them. He was growing impatient? Well that was no surprise Yuu never thought he had much in the ways of patience. Yuu waited until Hikari was heading inside the gate to turn to Unohana bowing to her. "I shall watch over her for you Unohana-taicho thank you for getting me back on my feet. Bye." With that he walked towards the gate waving to the others as he walked through after Hikari. He followed behind her and the hell butterfly so he didn't get lost and hoped that everything would turn out alright.

Tsu grinned as steam exploded from the two weapons. For as much as Hoshokusha heated up, it seemed as though Datto's blade cooled just as much. "Forgetting something?" Tsu slashed with his right set of claws, catching ahold of Datto's blade with the serrated edge of his. As soon as the blade was locked in tight, he extended the claws on his right gauntlet to their full length, about thirty inches, pulling Datto's sword with them.

Unohana nodded. "Thank you, Yuu-fukutaicho. I appreciate it, as does Hikari. I'm sure that she'll thank you later as well. Take care and do hurry. He doesn't seem to be that patient today."

Seeing that Yuu was leaving, Rangiku hurried to stand beside Unohana and waved after him. "Bye, Yuu-kun! Bye, Hika-chan! Good luck! See you soon!"

Hikari was so lost in thought that she didn't hear her friend calling after her. The entrance to the Soul Society was now nearing, and she was dreading it with each and every step she took. She sighed miserably as her foot touched ground in the Soul Society. She took little comfort that she could feel Tsu's reiatsu somewhat nearbly, though slight. And it was very little comfort, but still better than nothing. She was glad that she had Yuu with her though. Although she wondered if there wasn't someplace else he would rather have been. She turned around and waited for him patiently. She knew Kurotsuchi was waiting, but she absolutely refused to be alone in a room with that man. She bit into her lip nervously. What did he have planned? Hikari began chewing her nails, becoming more and more uneasy.

It was too easy. This kid didn't have near the experience he needed to have a chance. It was almost time for the student's break. Time to wrap this up. Guess that's what happens when I show up in the middle of the class. Tsu retracted his claws and used his Flash Step to put himself behind Datto. Before the student could move, he held his claws against the side of his neck. "End game." Tsu sealed his Zanpakuto and sheathed her. "Looks like you're going to need some more practice with your Zanpakuto. No more bokkens or kendo sticks from now on."
Tsu returned to the main group of the class and called everyone over. "Alright, everyone. Looks like it's about time for your break. Class will be back in session in one hour. Dismissed." After the students had left, Tsu used his Flash Step to head to squad twelve's R&D building. Hikari should be there soon.

As Datto switched hands he had thoughts of maneuvers he could use against Tsu-sensei, but before he had time to even contemplate executing them Tsu-sensei ended the battle with a Flash Step. Datto was stunned at the speed that Tsu had, it was what he imagined fighting Byakuya would be like. If Tsu was this fast then Datto had a long way to go before he could even to think of sparring against Byakuya-taicho.
On the other hand he was glad that he was being allowed to spar with his Zanpakuto now.
I can't believe how easily I was defeated, but that just means we have to work together more, right Saka?
Correct, that was quite an embarrassing defeat and I hope that we don't have to suffer it again. So, we shall train and work on developing our fighting abilities together

"It was pretty serious, but I gave my word. Didn't I? Besides, watching over the graduating class at the academy isn't all that fun." Tsu gave Hikari and Yuu a brief rundown on what had happened. "So after we're done here, I have to go back and take over the class again. You ready to get this started?"

Yuu couldn't help but smile at the grin on Hikari's face though he was caught off guard by her suggesting a race then leaving like she did. "Hikari-san! That is cheating you are supposed to say go!" Still smiling as he felt all the tension from recent events lift off his shoulders at the moment he chased after her. Then a thought came to him making him wonder who truly was faster between the two of them but that thought was interrupted as she stopped ahead. "Why did you sto...Oh hello Tsu-san. Yeah she is right it sounded very serious actually. Soifon-taicho was as serious as always so I couldn't determine whether you were in trouble or not..." It was a habit of his to refer to people using titles even if they weren't currently present not to mention she had been one of his former Captains so it was just natural to him. At hearing the words 'watching over the graduating class at the academy' Yuu looked a little surprised. "You Tsu-san a Sensei at the academy? I wasn't aware you liked to teach..." Then Tsurabisu gave them a quick rundown about what was going on making Yuu give a small Ahhh. "Well I suppose we should get a move on even more so now that you have to be back for a class. I still can't quite wrap my head around that thought. It's been so long since I was in the academy I almost forgot what it was like there. Any idea how long the assignment is for?"

She nodded slightly and offered a timid smile. "Yes." Hikari clasped her hands together in front of her chest and stepped forward to knock on the door of the 12th Division. I can do this... I can do this... The sound of her knocking on the door echoed through the hallways. The young woman held her breath, waiting for a response.
