Random Office[Tezuka Matsushima] ---------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------
'The Provost Lounge'. 'Pulitzer's Forgotten Office'. 'Hell's Study Hall'. 'The Shithole'. Many names are given to this nerve center of Ninth Division. It is a haven as much as it is a place of unspeakable doom to those who have entered through its door and sat upon its furniture. But that's the urban legend circulated around the Seireitei just to keep the little shits shitting their pants. Those who have truly seen this place find what some would call an after school special meets Wargames.
Set off to the east side of 9th Squad Tezuka's office is modest to say the least. The door is always slightly ajar, whether by lack of commitment to close it or by sheer convenience that it stay open for daily foot traffic some may argue in either direction, a placard sitting just slightly askew with the words "******** off. Unless it's important." hand written on its front, a little suction cup keeping it suspended on the fuzzed out glass.
The slight tilt in the sign is a prelude to discordance. Upon entering the inner sanctum viewers have the pleasure, or pain, of staring at such a wide array different furniture that one would think the interior decorator was not only on the extreme side of bipolar, but most likely dropping acid while working. Each corner of the office holds something unique to its quadrant:
Directly in the center of the room is a large area rug, a two-tone color going from sand to what appears to be the night sky, moonless, but beautifully dirtied by the soles of many feet. A simple wood mahogany coffee table occupies just top of center with an accompanying tan sofa adorning just as many darkened spots as the rug just beyond. Upon closer inspection of these spots their dark red/brown nature begins to become apparent. Truly a fighter's resting place.
Off to the right wall is what Tezuka calls his 'Workshop': an almost wall length floating desk with just about every piece of equipment a home music engineer would need to destroy the auditory senses. It is as it would be proclaimed by the 9th Squad captain himself, a place of spiritual refuge. Sitting directly center of the entire set-up is a collection of no less than three 27" computer monitors arranged in a crescent shape, and each holding a different, but equally important part of the recording and music making process. Past these glowing hulks several sets of speakers top the desk and floor, a rather beefy looking subwoofer hidden beneath the floating desktop supplying that section of the room with ability to rattle one's fillings loose in less time than it took to put them in.
This is Tezuka's Mecca. His West Wall. His Sitting Buddha. What isn't laden upon the desktop is neatly packed away in clear shelving that seems to be suspended in the air just like the desk; labeled and precise eve if in chaos. And tying all this together is the wall's backdrop: a jumble of many influences all with a graffiti-style tinge and a funnily sprayed on face of a man screaming into a microphone stealing center stage like the badass ******** he is.
Exactly opposite Tezuka's shrine to all that is an audiophile's wet dream is the left wall. Unlike the right wall, though it is rather quite in its color scheme, giving the floor-to-ceiling bookcases an ominous if not tomb-like feeling. Anything with paper and a spine to hold it in can probably be found on its shelves, but not that much in the literature section. Most of it is old files from older cases and reports of random mishaps in the Seireitei that have been dealt and processed by the big T himself. There are, however, some books hiding within the mounds of ancient paperwork: magazines with interesting articles, old fiction and fantasy novels, and even a Japanese translated copy of the Christian Bible; the only religious tome Tezuka owns or will ever probably stare at.
This wall also hides a very interesting secret. When a certain amount of reiatsu is poured into the bookcase just right of center a secret door opens to reveal a hidden bathroom for when Tezuka wants to become all squeaky clean and s**t again. Fully equipped with both a bath and shower, this entire room can be flooded with steam and not disturb the files on the other side.
And, finally, we come to the back wall. This is what one would call the 'Business time' area, where all the importantly awesome stuff goes down. Conspiracies abound, kiddies, for the only thing this whole wall possesses is a large bank of video monitors trained on just about every major/important location in the Seireitei. You name it, there's a camera there. Even Tezuka's office. And even the bathrooms. So watch what you say, kids, or you'll be in deep s**t. Nowhere is safe from Big Brother.
Sound carries in this room. And it's not just because of the speakers hanging everywhere to help make sure the room is filled with the music of the gods. With its vaulted ceiling sound travels up and out, making the room feel even more gigantic than it already is.

[Magically enters in from somewhere]
Tezuka shuffled into his office in a slow, deliberate, pace, letting his arms almost drag against the floor from the sheer tiredness he felt from the day's activities. Above all else, though, he felt extremely dirty. Not even worrying about flopping on the blood-stained couch he moved to the bookcases set off to the left, placing his hand lightly against the corner of one and using what little energy he felt like mustering to let reiatsu pour from him into the woodwork. There was a small 'click' followed by the entire shelving unit moving forward and swinging open to his left. It didn't take him long to step through and close it behind him, letting it lock with an almost inaudible click on the inner end.
Grimy fingers turned the shower on at a comfortingly hot temperature as he he disrobed, letting his naked frame slide effortlessly into the enclosed shower stall and just standing there for a good 10 minutes as the water hit his shoulders and head in an ever increasingly hot fashion. It was wonderful, the life slowly filling back into his body as the dirt and blood was washed away. Grabbing a very special mixture of body wash and shampoo, Tezuka went about the arduous, but pleasing, task of cleaning himself, humming as he did so.

Soon, Yomiko found herself back into the very squad she originally wanted to get away from, Squad 9. She couldn't say that she was glad that she was back in the area, which she wasn't, but as long as it's nowhere near Squad 12... it was fine. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she walked down the hallway, stuffing her hands in her pockets as she thought back on the little meeting she had with that stalker. What was his name again? Seth? Seto? Zatoichi? Zeb... ZEB! Yeah, that a*****e. She had no idea how she could've got herself into such a compromising position such as that one. Would that kid really try to blackmail her into doing things for him?
Yomiko pursed her lips as she stopped in her tracks, something catching her eye. A small sign with the words '******** off. Unless it's important'. At that moment, her thoughts about her stalker were eradicated and replaced with ones of puzzlement and intrigue. With the door ajar, apart of her wanted to go in and see what was inside of the room and the other, well, was fighting against it. The curious side of herself won when she found herself pushing the door open, stepping inside of the office and well, becoming infatuated with it. Her eyes lit up as they darted across the room and soon her body found itself examining everything around the room as if she were a small child in a room full of toys.
Indeed, that's what it was.

Tezuka sensed it before he could see it, eyes looking up from the little space in between the shower and the sink as if he could see through solid stone and wood. 'Ah ha. Not hostile, but definitely notta known person, eh?' His body glistened from water still clinging to his skin, a light layer of just after showering sweat just beginning to show as he wrapped a towel around his waist and proceeded towards the door. Unconsciously slipping his zanpakuto into the top off his towel from its position on the sink top he pressed lightly on the concealed doorway, revealing the knob and twisting it before opening the panel. The bookcase shifted forward again before settling into the normal functions of a hinge door, allowing him access into the room as steam came with him.
"Yellow??" He said without having full view of the room, steam now rising from his skin in the much colder air of his office. To his surprise it was a woman. And a rather attractive one at that! "Well hot damn...!" He said with a chuckle beneath his breath. His smile quickly changed to one of horror as he watched her race around his office, touching everything. " Heyheyhey!! Watch what'cher touchin' der missy!! Dat s**t's delicate!!" He said in a raised voiced, almost shunpo'ing towards her he was moving so fast. His hands reached forward, deftly plucking whatever she was holding in her hands. " Ya' gotta be gentl'r wit dis stuff." He frowned absently, checking the equipment she'd most likely picked up from the desk top for dings or tampering. Deeming nothing wrong with it he looked up at the strange, but attractive woman in his office, body still dripping with water. "Can I help you, lady?"

The young man's voice jolted her out of her almost trance-like daze. Before she knew it, he was plucking some CD out of her hands. Yomiko blinked for a couple of moments, trying to figure out what the hell she was doing before hand. All she could truly remember doing was walking into the office and after that it became completely blank. Her eyes trailed down on the floor, eyebrows tightly knit together in confusion. She exhaled a breath, not daring to look up at the person whom she concluded to be the owner of this office. Yomiko felt like a idiot at the moment. Going into someone's office, touching things she wasn't supposed to be touching and getting caught in the process. "I-I'm sorry," She muttered, still looking down at the ground. Her eyes were concentrated on the small pool of water forming at the base of the strangers feet.
Wait-- what?
Golden orbs slowly looked up at the owner, widening slightly as they moved upward. She felt her face heating up as she took a step back away from the male. Sure, she had seen her share of men but--- "I am SOOO SORRY!" Yomiko burst out, completely flustered as she covered her mouth with her hands. It wasn't a secret that she was nervous, hell, who wouldn't be? A very attractive, half-naked man that just looked as though he had got out of the shower was standing right in front of her.
Yomiko bit the inside of her lip. "I-I didn-- didn't know. I'm sooo sorry. I tho--thought no one was her-- here. I mean... the sign was indication but... ehh... aa... hmmm....," With her ceaseless rambling, Yomiko decided to shut up. "Sorry."

Tezuka leaned back as the woman raised her voice, cringing unconsciously as he stared at the reader side of the disc he was holding. Setting the glistening circle down on the large stack that it had been alphabetized in he turned back to smile at her, a lopsided one that only showcased a small portion of his teeth, namely his canine. "Th' door woulda been locked if no one was here." Tezuka let loose with a low chuckle, taking a step back to drink in the woman's features more easily. He was not disappointed. "That and the sign woulda be'n flipped. Can't just have random people comin' up in my place whenever t'fcuk they want, ya' feel me?" The smile stayed on his face, staying there more of his own amusement of the whole situation more than to make sure she knew he was kidding around with her.
A slight exertion in his reiatsu began to raise the temperature in the immediate vicinity, causing the light layer of steam to rise once more, his skin drying off at a quicker rate. He stopped before his hair became the same way, letting his reiatsu levels die down to their normal state as he took a step back himself, hands on his hips after he lightly scratched the family crest tattooed to his abs. "Didn't really catch'er name back there, m'ah dear. Care to divulge it now?" Involuntarily his right eye twitched, closing itself in what would most likely be mistaken by the woman as a wink. "I can tell ya' mine first if that makes ya' feel easy." Another lopsided smile. "Cap'm Tezuka Matsushima, 9th Squad." his right hand extended out towards her. "Pleasure t'meet'cha."

Her nervousness subsided for the time being when he turned away from her. Shoulders slouching, Yomiko removed her hands from her mouth and exhaled a sigh, looking down at the floor once again. This has to be the new guy that the Vice-Captain was talking to her about when she was in his office. Yomiko didn't know whether it was because he WAS intimidating or the fact that he was attractive that made her feel like she had to run out of the office as soon as possible. Hell, this had to be the first time in years since she had felt this way, truly nervous. No, not nervous but anxious. What was she anxious for?
A small grimace appeared on her face as he began to talk but it quickly disappeared as she let her thoughts go elsewhere. Lazily, her eyes trailed up to his own. The sight of his smile made her want to bolt to the door. Wait, why would she want to run away? Yomiko, at this moment, was just as confused as ever by what was going on. Just who the hell was this guy?
Yomiko took a step back away from him, involuntarily bumping into the computer desk. Her hand brushed against the mouse, interrupting the screensaver on one of the monitors. She didn't notice this, though, as her attention was mostly on him. Well, on the tattoo on his chest.That grimace appeared on her face again when she noticed him wink at her. Why did he wink at her? Was he hitting on her?! Her grimace soon faded when she gained back her composure. Yomiko felt as though she was freaking out for nothing, or so she'd like to convince herself. The guy was only being nice...
"I'm... Yomi... N-Nice to meet you..." Yomiko stated as she took his hand into hers. She gave him a small, weak smile. "Well, Tezuka... You should really put on some clothes or somethin'. Seriously, what if some innocent girl came in and saw you like that?! I, mean, come on man! You didn't even lock the door! What if I didn't walk in but a group of rabid fangirls did and started doing stuff." She pursed her lips, stuffing her hands in her pockets. "And not good stuff, either... you know, the bad stuff. Kid, seriously."

It wasn't just the one screen that became alight. With all three monitors patched into one tower moving the mouse caused all three to jump to life, restarting all programs running that had gone silent as it entered its hibernation mode. There was a small jump as one song ended the room suddenly filling with the raspy voice of a man proclaiming "I am the end of the world." This proclamation was quickly followed by the stomach churning sound of guitars slamming into what sounded like Drop G, but was most likely higher in tuning due to axe fx coming into play. The music filled the room, blasting loudly from the speakers sitting up on the desk on either side of the computer monitors and from all the speakers hanging from the ceiling and stationed haphazardly around the office. It was almost deafening, even with the size of the space. Another screen held something even more, intimate, the sounds of a woman moaning loudly during chug breaks filling the air, but only from the speakers on the desktop. Obviously mature in nature the internet needed to be stopped at this point if Tezuka's guest wasn't already ready to flee from aural damages incurred. He moved forward and past her, placing hands on both the keyboard and the mouse and began controlling the machine with a deftness one would be astounded by seeing from a brutish rogue of man such as Tezuka. Closing the internet, he went to volume controls turning down the stiflingly loud barrage to that of a dull roar and set it to only play from out of the desktop speakers. With that done he set about closing all non-essential programs that were running right now, saving several different files in several programs, mostly audio files, and locking the mouse controls so that it would have to be accessed through the keyboard the next time he wanted to use it. With that done he turned back to Yomi just in time to hear her say something about Tezuka being attack by rabid fangirls in his current attire. This took him aback a little, eyebrows coming to a scrunched form for a moment as he shook his head at this statement. What girl in their right mind would squabble and dribble over him? Tezuka chuckled at Yomi regardless, sitting back against the desktop for a moment. "There's no way'n hell a buncha girlies're gonna come up in here 'n make a scene in my office without gettin' a little bit of the tush kickin'. Can't have that s**t, ya' feel me?"His chuckle carried over, moving past Yomi and towards the bathroom. "I think 've been garbless for too long t'make ya' feel comfortable t'be around me." It was her last statement that really threw him off. 'Kid? I don't look that young.' He frowned at this as well, but paid little heed to what it really meant about Yomi. Instead he returned to the bathroom, pulling his sealed zanpakuto from its place in his waist line and placing it on the bathroom counter as he went about dressing himself, taking a few extra minutes to run his fingers through his hair and then shake it into place before nodding at its new look. Replacing the sealed zanpakuto back into his sash he turned the lights out and closed the door behind him. "Much better, eh?" Tezuka smiled stupidly at Yomi, bringing his hands up in a 'tada!' sort of way as he drew back to her. "So's there somethin' I can do for ya', Yomi...?" His words trailed near the end, as if he were trying to discern a last name from the woman.

771 At the very tip of a long, plain-looking A-frame building, just like any other scattered across the Seireitei, a small, shrimp of a girl could be seen traversing across it in what could only be described as a march. The first noticeable thing about this girl was that she was walking proudly without a care in the world and singing to herself. Except, it was less to her and more to anyone that could possibly overhear her, which would include anyone in a fifty foot radius as she was singing rather loudly. "The more I try to show my weakness, the more I act tough in vain and everything goes the other way. I'm actually a crybaby, though I've been mum about that!" The second noticeable thing about her was that she appeared no older than ten years, but was sporting a Shihakushō and an Asauchi mounted at her right waist, both of which pointed to her being a Shinigami. For reasons unknown to those watching her, she was traipsing along the point of the building's roof, continuing her song, seemingly lacking a single care in the world. "But a love that's just sweet, is slightly different from what I'm seeking~ If I'm told it's white, I'd say it's black. I can't be honest; I say one thing but do another. If I'm told, "I love you," I'd say, "I hate you." I'm happy, but what am I saying?"
Reaching a break in her song's lyrics, she took the opportunity to purse her lips and exhale a hup as she hopped off the roof and landed in the alleyway below. Her abrupt appearance there attracted the attention of a group of three Shingami, and subsequently startled them. Senka paid no attention to the three individuals, who in her eyes were gigantic as they towered over her, and simply continued on her way, picking her song back up and continuing her odd, marching gait. "Like putting salt into sweet vanilla!" Of course, this only warranted further attention to those that she passed, who likely couldn't figure out why such a small girl was wearing the robes of a Shinigami, and was able to walk around without getting lost. The truth be told, Senka was oddly privy to the layout of the Seireitei, and could pretty much get anywhere she wanted without getting lost; it was the direct result of her exploratory nature. "When I fall head over heels in love, for all the time, 24/7, I think about you continuously, it's rather extreme! Can it be, that no one ever thought that I'd be this obsessed with you? Weather forecasts can't tell the whereabouts of love~" Eventually, as she rounded the corner to the entrance to the 9th Division area and crossed through multiple hallways, she dropped her singing and switched to humming the rest of the words while still allowing the occasional spoken word to slip out. By the time she arrived at Tezuka's office, she finished the song, shifted her weight onto her left leg, and after throwing her hands into the air, promptly kicked open his door with little thought to the consequence of that action.
"With vanilla salt!" At this point, she dropped her expression of tightly shut eyes and a gaping smile so that she could quickly scan the room for any sign of her new captain. She spotted him almost instantly; he was in the company of a female and had a tacky room, but this did not fully register to her one-track mind at the moment. "Old man, I challenge you to a duel!" Shortly afterward, the small girl burst into a fit of giggles for no apparent reason while holding her stomach like it were in pain. "No no, that's not right!" Giggles subsiding, the miniature girl dropped her hands and took a few steps forward so that she may enter the room, but continued addressing Tezuka as she did so. Senka-chan at your service, pleased to meet yo-" Her sentence was cut short when, during her final step, she tripped over her slightly-too-large robes and fell flat on her face. Of all things, putting aside calling her Captain and old man and bursting in the room without warning, she was embarrassed for having fallen flat on her face. That added onto the pain shooting through her nose and chin was enough to render the small girl abnormally quiet. Normally, right about then, someone in her household would have rushed over to pick her up, and somewhere in the back of her mind she was expecting this from at least one of them. ---------- Senka ----------

The sound was only slightly discernible in the beginning, but as soon as his office door was violently kicked in Tezuka knew the presence he'd felt was here for him. Thankfully the door was used to such abuse, the hinges heavily reinforced and the glass made out of Plexiglas instead of the boring usual, so it merely wobbled as it bounced harmlessly off the wall beside it. The sign, however, that hung on his door fell off, the little suction cup holding it slightly askew for all to see neatly displacing itself from the window with an audibly wet 'pop'. It skittered to the floor and lay there as the door passed overhead, mostly likely garnering a small cartoony voice to proclaim, "Help! I've fallen and can't get up!" followed by the usual that's what she said joke as the expense of one unfortunate senior citizen.
But Tezuka merely stared at the girl that had entered his office, his lips slightly apart as she loudly denounced his proper age and challenged him to a gentlemen's bout that Tezuka wouldn't be caught dead doing. Granted he would fight someone one-on-one if he were in the mood, but he was far from the chivalrous type. Mild-mannered, maybe, if one stretched his more endearing qualities, but nothing even close to what he thought of as a 'gentelmen'. His nose wrinkled, face adhering the briefest of frowns as the girl corrected herself and sputtered out her name with an honorific before falling flat on her face.
It was at this time that Tezuka couldn't hold his composure even if he gave the slightest damn about wanting to. His lips pursed, producing a raspberry that quickly melted from being stifled laughter into a full blow howl of amusement. He bent forward, eyes shut tightly as he heaved himself into the uncontrollable fit of hysterics caused by the newcomer. Tears welled up in his eyes as he tried to look back at Senka only to be thrown back into fit of laughter. He tried to say, something, but it was a good 5 minutes before he could stop his abdomen from expelling all the breath he needed to make intelligent, if you could call how he spoke intelligent, dialogue with then fallen prepubescent. "Yo-ya' gotta be fawkin' kiddin' me." He finally managed to blurt out, pushing himself into a sort of hunched position leaning against the couch situated near the center of his audacious abode. Eyes still pinched at the corners. He felt another dose of laughter approaching, but forcibly crushed it down with what little willpower he possessed in comical circumstances. "I get all th' goddamn jokers, eh? Whazzis s**t, li'ttle lady? Really? Ar'ya' serious? Like really serious er 'm I gettin' PUNK'd right now?"
His gaze searched her fallen frame trying to discern some kind of note or document that would tell him she was his. He hoped she wasn't. A kid? In Internal Affairs? What kind of crazy meathead thought it was funny to drop this time bomb in his lap? He didn't say he was gonna be someone's babysitter during one of his many trips to the Officer's club, did he? s**t. That's all he really needed was to have made a promise while ******** off his a**. Turning back to look on his desk he was further put into dismay as no new papers or folders were there for him to check. There really was no way for him to get hold of this problem. So he asked the obvious, hoping to get some kind of answer from the girl currently occupying space on his rugged floor. " Ya' got transcripts for me a'least? Please o' please tell me ya' somethin' for me ta' read. Don't need some hoped up little missy runnin' around 'n my barracks like it was 'er playground 'r somethin' messed like dat."

410 Since her new captain was too busy laughing his head off to help a poor girl in need, Senka was forced to pick herself up off the floor. All in all, it was a rather new experience for her, and not exactly pleasant. Senka sat herself up rather quickly, and after inspecting herself for damage, she held her nose to dull the pain while she scanned the room. The placard on the floor caught her eye, and she tilted her head; it looked vaguely familiar. Tracing her memories back, she recalled catching a brief glimpse of it on the same door she had just kicked in, and realized that her doing so must have caused it to fall off. Taking a moment to gather her many fleeting thoughts, she got up in the middle of Tezuka's laugh fest and skipped over to the placard and swiped it up into her tiny hands.
After inspecting it for a moment,she looked at the door and back to it, then reached into her robes to retrieve a metal tin commonly used for tea. From it she pulled out several stickers of a variety of shape, color, and size and began to mind-numbly monotonous task of removing the sticker's backs and sticking them on the edges of the placard. It would be mind-numbing to others, but for Senka it was quite enjoyable. when she was done, she closed the tin, put it away, then approached the door and stuck the placard back on it at chest height to her. Shortly after pressing the suction cup onto the door, she pressed the hanging edges of the stickers onto the door and then stepped back to admire her handy-work. Now the placard was stuck onto the door with a multitude of colorful stickers as well as the suction cup. In her mind, this made it impossible to take off. By the time she was done, Tezuka seemed to have been finished laughing for a while now, and with a wide smile, she charged and tackled, them climbed up his back to wrap her arms around his neck playfully. "Fixed your stuff!" She said happily, apparently proud of what she had done. "What's a tanscrip?" Unintentionally, she messed up that word, as was expected considering she had never heard it before. After her question, she shut her eyes tight and returned to humming the words to her song while absentmindedly bobbing her head to the tune. ---------- Senka ----------

The minor weight increase on his person was of little importance to Tezuka, not really paying the girl's intrusion of his personal space any mind as he moved forward to inspect her handiwork to his sign. It was, well, he really didn't know how to describe the feelings he was receiving from the kid-friendly addition to his harsh business words. An eyebrow raised from its lax position, not really denoting a sense of annoyance, but more of close inspection. It would have been, however, hard for others to read what the facial meant aside from a kind of annoyed frustration as he was prone to becoming visually annoyed when he wasn't in a good mood. Those who knew him knew this was merely an unconscious farce, the finger coming up to scratch the bridge or tip of his nose never coming, signifying he cared little and would brush off the situation with a simple 'whatever' or shoulder shrug somewhere down the line.
"Transcript: your service rec'rd. Ya' know, the big file a' papers they send wit'choo when yer accepted to'a squad? Dat's eh transcript. Gives me 'n overview of your trainin' 'n how well you scored among yer peers 'n s**t." Tezuka turned his head so that he could see the girl in his peripheral vision, eying her as best as he could at this angle. "You sure they didn' send'ja with somethin' or sent somethin' to my office ahead a'time?

[[Sorry, you guys. I gotta keep this short and sweet. This is crappy, I know. ALSO SORRY FOR THE WAIT. I FEEL SO BAD. crying Also, I have a squad to run. SORRY.]]
In the midst of everything that was going to between the two, Yomiko felt it would be the right time to slip out of the office. ... and, so she did.

Lerato moved slowly through the grounds of the Sereitei; bandages still wrapped tightly around his chest and ankle. Taking as deep of a breathe as he could the man found himself looking up. He had some how found his way to Squad Nine. "Huh... This is Tezuka and Zaine's squad..." He mumbled. There was a slight pinch of pain where his newly formed scar twisted from side to side, the shiny purple skin in strong contrast to his normally well tanned skin. "I wonder what the old man is doing..." It had been a good amount of time since he had seen his old Vice Captain, since he had heard his jovial sarcasm, and his unique drawl to his words. "Ironic that two of the best friends I've had here could end up in the same squad. Even more ironic for that squad to have been my second choice."
'It's a strange thing, isn't it?' Her voice fluttered to life inside his head as he made his way slowly up the path to the Captain's Office. 'How we can change as time goes on and morph into what we are.' She giggled and let her own visions run through his mind. Visions from his past when he first entered the Gotei. 'Always keep that in mind, young one.' Her voice slowly faded away into blackness as he made his way gingerly up the stairs to his old friend's office.
Normally he would have walked straight in, perhaps even kicking the door off of it's hinges just to surprise Tezuka, but today was different. Today Lerato was in no condition to deal with Tezuka, after all, he could barely even lift his arms enough to knock. There were two dull raps on the door and silence as he stood waiting for an answer.

Suddenly alone Tezuka shook his head to clear his mind, wondering if everything that had transpired in the past thirty minutes was all just an allusion or if it had really happened. Where had the little girl gone? Where was Yomi? What the ******** was going on! He sighed heavily and slumped against the corner of his desk, arms folded and brow furrowed in some kind of frustrated contemplation. He almost missed the utterly quiet raps upon his door, his thoughts clouding his perception of the world around him just for a second before snapping back into reality. Dazed he flinched, suddenly in a standing position without any preconception of how he went from sitting to standing. His arms flapped wildly to his sides for a second before he settled back down on his perch at the desk's corner, folding his arms and drawing in a deep, calming breath. "Door s'open!" He shouted a little before starting to make his way towards the couch in the center of the room.
