Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kas looked up "There!" she said seeing the thread of spirit energy running into the wooded area up ahead.Kas folowed it slowly like a cat stalking prey. Kas stopped and crouched under the cover of some brush as she saw three figures in the clearing "three?" kas thought identifying the three's races "How strange." Kas thought peering through the leaves.

"That would'nt be too wise." Kas said standing up and coming out of the brush, Kas slowly approched the death knight trying not to look like a threat "You and your friend are in no condition to fight...or move.." She added seeing blood all over the grass.

"Ah" Kas said as the green thing formed around her "The goblet takes 7 paces to the east and tourches." Kas said holding a small silver barrel in her hand that she had kept just in case some thing like this came up. A blue flame flared from the barrel as it desolved the green aura. Kas breathed hard as she tryed to get her footing "Damn. i should have seen that coming."

He took his zanpakuto. He already knows his zanpakuto name, huh. He unsheathed his zanpakuto and put it in front of him. "Hey, I think he is finally ready to know our name, do you think that we should tell him or should we make him suffer a bit?" He just shrugged his shoulders and knelt down, looking at the dirt. "You never talk, huh. Why is that?" He turned around and gave a glare that looked pissed off. Being scared she just turned around. "Jerk, well I guess I have him all by myself." His zanpakuto was vibrating after a couple of seconds that he unsheathed it. "Doing it again huh." he said not caring if both of them were listening. Enduring the vibration he waited for Datto to make his move.

Hikari sighed as she sat at the desk filling the sheets of paper in front of her. Paperwork. Ah, yes, the most unfulfilling part of being a ranked officer. Unfortunately for Hikari, she sometimes felt that kido and paperwork was all that the Gotei 13 needed her for. She wanted to become stronger, of course, it just seemed that all of the training she did was for nothing. It seemed that the other ranked officers didn't have to try and they were excellent fighters; able to take down any foe. Not Hikari, though. She could honestly say that when it came to actually fighting with her zanpakuto, if she didn't have any kido to fall back on, she'd likely lose. Of course, she was one of the fastest when it came to shunpo, but that was only good for someone running away from a fight. I have to become stronger. I can't rely on anyone else anymore. Maybe Tsu-kun can train with... She shook her head. No. I bother him too much, and I still feel weird around him for some reason. If I can ever find the courage to ask him someday, I want to know exactly what went on in my Soul Space. Why is it that I feel so... upset around him? Something happened, I know it did. But what could have happened to make me feel that I have to hide from him? Did I do something to be ashamed of?

Her captain startled Hikari out of her thoughts. "Hikari-fukutaicho?"

"Huh? Oh, Taicho?"

"I have some things I need to do. But I can't leave the infirmary. I'll be back soon, but I need you to take over for me, all right?"

"Oh, yes, of course, Taicho!" Hikari shot to her feet. "On my way."

"Thank you." Her captain smiled and watched the lieutenant leave to go to the infirmary before departing.

Once Hikari made it there, she started supervising the care of the patients and resumed her previous thoughts. Maybe Hitsugaya-sama will train me. He's always been there to help me before. She didn't realize that she was finishing her thoughts out loud. "Yeah, I think for now I'd be safest with him..."

"Fukutaicho, who are you safest with?" One of her unseated squad members came up behind her and asked.

"Eep! Eh? Oh, nothing. Sorry, just thinking to myself. Anyway, forget I said anything!" Hikari waved him away. "Did you need something?"

"Yes, over here. She won't stop coughing. And her fever..."

I don't have time to think about this, Hikari thought, brushing those thoughts aside and going into her healer mode. That was the one thing she could find to always push every other thought aside, even the most troublesome ones. Taking care of the sick or injured always came first in her book. Hm... maybe I should mix up some herbs to try to soothe her coughing... but that fever... "Right, I'll be right back with some herb tea for her. Stay with her." And off Hikari went, her troubles forgotten. For now.

Datto drew his zanpakuto, and took his one handed fighting stance.
Be careful, young one. You do not know what his abilities are or how they will affect us, so caution is best. And remember, balance!
Datto rolled his eyes at his sword constantly reminding him to "keep balance". He look up at Tsu and asked "I'm allowed to release, right?"

"Not a bad idea, but not yet. Let's see the two of you go full contact for a little bit. I'll let you know when you can." Tsu stood back, allowing the two students room to go all out. "Now, I don't want any holding back. Haru, you're part of squad eleven now. Act like it. Datto, don't be afraid to use your kido." True, it was an unfair advantage, Datto being able to use kido whereas Haru's kido abilities had been sealed away. But all the more reason for him to learn his Zanpakuto's name. And if fighting Datto couldn't release it, Tsu would have to do it himself...
