Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsu glanced over at Soifon and grinned a bit. He wondered briefly what she would think of his full speed. Captain Kyoraku had the fastest Flash Step around and Tsu had mastered it under him. Tsu knew that the second squad's Captain was faster than he was, but how much of a difference was there? He wouldn't be able to find out this day. He could see the Captain-Commander's office dead ahead. Oh well. It was probably for the best. Just because he had attained Bankai didn't mean he was better than this Captain. Something he should remember.
Tsu shook his head a bit as if to clear the thoughts from his head before he entered the building. He was admitted to the office right away, telling him that it was a serious matter. Upon entering, he saw Yumichika, as well as his commanding officers, Zaraki and Yachiru. What is this?

Tsu took his place next to Yumichika and bowed to Head Captain Yamamoto. "Sir, Fourth seat Tsurabisu Maruchinu reporting." He glanced from his fellow seated officer to his Captain and back, hoping to get some idea of what this was about.

The Captain Commander turned his attention to the door moments before Tsurabisu entered. He watched as the seated officer bowed, but his expressionless face gave away nothing. "Maruchinu, you have been summoned here because there is a matter of grave importance. At yesterday's practice exams for the graduating class of the Academy, you were scouting talent for your squad, correct?"

"Yes, Sir." Before he could explain further, the Head Captain cut back in.

"At this point, your attention fell on Haru Touben."

"Yes, Sir. Haru seemed to struggle in his Kido tests, but showed a lot of promise with his fencing skills. I believe that if he's allowed to join our squad, we could turn him into a great asset for the Soul Society." Tsu's curiosity was starting to get the better of him. Why all of this over an Academy student?

"Haru Touben is on trial for the use of forbidden Kido. I do not see such a person as an asset to the Soul Society. As punishment, he was to have his powers sealed and then cast out of Soul Society. However, his Instructor has brought a new solution to light. She has stated as you have that his skill in the use of Kido is severely lacking, but his abilities with a sword are above average. She has requested that his kido be sealed and a mentorship be placed with you. She believes that you can help this boy become a Soul Reaper."

Tsu stood silent for a few moments before responding. "I'm guessing it was my former teacher, Tessa Saotome who recommended this." Why'd she stick me with this is beyond me... "If it's your order, Sir, I accept. But what of Tes-- I mean, Instructor Saotome? I mean, he's her student after all."

"The Instructor is suspended until the investigation is over. For the next week, you are being transferred out of Squad Eleven to the Academy where you will take over her class until graduation. Lieutenant Sasakibe has the information for you." The Lieutenant had just entered the room with a small stack of paperwork as the Captain Commander spoke. He handed the papers to Tsurabisu before bowing to his Captain and leaving once more.

"Wait just a second here. You're telling me that when we have Espada running around, you're transferring one of my officers to babysit some snot nosed students?" Captain Zaraki was obviously angered over the subject.

"Captain Zaraki, you forget yourself. This is my order. You of all people should appreciate this since your squad will be gaining a new member, taught by one of your best fighters as you put it."

Zaraki could make no argument with that. though he hated not being in control of what was going on with his own squad. "Fine. take him.

Tsu was pretty much floored over the conversation that had just taken place. Tessa was suspended and he was going to take over her classes? And to top it off, he was going to have that kid following him around everywhere from now on. Great. "Captain Commander, I do have one request, though. Would it be possible to speak with Instructor Saotome?" Tsu had been flipping through the sheets of paper that the Lieutenant had handed to him. "I have some questions about the material that she had been going over."

The Head Captain seemed to consider the request for a second before shaking his head. 'There is a fencing class that has just begun Finish that before reporting to Captain Soifon. She will take you to where Instructor Saotome is being held. That is all. You are all dismissed."

Tsu turned and headed out the door, followed by Yumichika, Lieutenant Yachiru, and Captain Zaraki. "Well, doesn't this beat all?"

"Instructor Maruchinu... It does have a nice ring to it. Who would have thought you of all people would be placed in charge of a class. Though I couldn't picture you in an Instructor's uniform. They're simply gastly.

Typical Yumichika... "Yeah, screw that. I'm just going to wear my usual uniform. I'm Squad Eleven." That got a grunt of approval from his Captain.

"Whatever. Just be sure to send us some fresh blood when this is all over. Come on Yachiru." With that, the Captain and Lieutenant took their leave.

Well, I had better go. Looks like I'm late for class. Later, Yumichika." He didn't wait for a response before using his Flash step to head for the training grounds. When he arrived, it looked like most of the students had begun independent study. Most were either practicing their form or sparring. Tsu took his position at the head of the class and watched the students for a few moments, getting a feel for their skill as he watched. He he was satisfied, he rested his left arm on Hoshokusha's hilt. "Attention! Fall in!"

Sora jumped at the sudden yell of a person. "What the hell?!" she said in surprise as she almost tripped and fell on her face. She looked up and toward the direction of the voice. She glared at him before looking back to Datto and removing her kendo sword from under his. "Really..." Sora mumbled in an annoyed tone as she rested her kendo sword over her shoulder and pulled Datto in line with the rest of the class.

It had been some time since Ayame had gone back there and she realized that she couldn't spend all night searching the castle for Mouzou... So, much as it bothered her that she couldn't find him, Ayame reluctantly set foot outside into Hueco Mundo, readying herself to make the jump back to the world of the living. She took a breath and hesitated a moment before opening the portal. Then, she turned her back and leapt through.

Sora just stared boredly at the boy that was here to teach their class. No one had no questions, thankfully. Sora was bored and because of that, she started to feel tired and wanting to just go back home and sleep. "Oh, where is the ruby?" she mumbled to herself as she felt around in the folds of her uniform only to find nothing that told her the ruby was with her.

Datto jumped when he heard a yell while he was in mid assault. As he went to turn around he was dragged by Sora into line. While Maruchiru was speaking Datto noticed Sora mumble and fiddling with her clothing. When she got called up front Datto felt a pang of worry for her.
Datto thought to himself,"I hope she doesn't get in to much trouble. Than again it is Sora-chan"

"So you do know that Arrancar, how is it that a shinigami such as yourself know an Arrancar. Aren't the two suppose to be enemy's." He then took a few paces before continuing. "You asked how I know him, correct. Well, I'll tell you everything you need to know in exchange, you will help me. Is that a deal, or no?"

"Very well, then. As promise I will tell you one or the other, it's not that I am breaking anything it just that it has changed since I now am telling you two tidbits, while you are only one thing, choose wisely now, for it might affect Hikari, if you don't know what exactly is happening, or you won't know the truth about Mozou."
