"Hmph, it's true though," she muttered, her gaze faraway at forgotten memories. "There's nothing worth talking about. For the vast majority of my human life, I was a brat. My parents moved us around which forced me and my brother to become trilingual. I resented my parents for it. I broke their hearts. When they finally let us go back to Japan, I was too far gone."
By now she was babbling though she hadn't the sense to stop. She was caught in the grip of the horrid torrent of memories. So much so that it began to slow her words and affect her voice. Unforgiven emotion raged around in her heart.
"We went to the park. Grandma and Grandpa were there. They looked so old and strange to me. It was my first time seeing them in a while. We were sitting there, unpacking our picnic. was under this tree. I was still bitter and acting stupid. And then-"Here her voice broke and it took some effort to swallow."-Then I watched them all die...one by one."
Hikari had to stop as tears threatened to shed themselves. She bit her lip and silently berated herself for showing such weakness. Some third seat she was if a mere memory so affected her. The expressions of her loved ones as the horrible monster murdered them and the pain of unvoiced apologies on her part caused a single tear to slide slowly down her cheek, parallel to the black tattooed streaks. Hikari concentrated on fending off others by biting down harder on her bruising lip. She was determined to draw blood if the present pain would distract her from the past.

Takashi made his way into the Tranquil Garden in the 11th Squad area. New to the squad itself, he'd decided to postpone any real introductions, duties or just about anything else really. It was day and there was nothing better to do during the day than sleep. It was with this thought in mind and lazinesss in body that the Shinigami, already transformed into a feline form made his way up one of the shorter trees with good shading and lay down in a perfect sleeping manner, his two tails swishing about to the sides. His cat form was just as odd as his normal humanoid form, his scar still showed and his eyes were a ruby red in color as well as slitted and sharp, having a violent edge to them, his fur was a sleek black. The black cat yawned wide and soundlessly, it's tongue sticking out slightly. The cool shade was, to him comfortable and he really wouldn't trade such comfort for the 'pleasure' of meeting new co-workers. As for his captain.......well he'd leave that for later too, maybe at night or something when he was feeling less sleepy.

Ogato smiled a bit then said, "Well that explains why you speak Spanish or whatever that is your saying. And you got to travel, I never seen much outside of my town, of course it was a big town." He thought she would stop or atleast take a breather but she continued from there. He didn't want to stop her since she seemed to be having a moment and wanted to know where it ended.
When she finished with the death of her family he could see she was fighting back her pain. He never had to deal with the death of his family since he died before them. Feeling that she needed someone something to help her feel better he leaned over to hug her. Patting her shoulder he said, "Well your all in a better place now aren't you? Besides it brought you hear so that's a good thing."
Just as he was about to adjust himself so he won't fall over he heard a rustling in a near by tree. Coming to attention he looked around and found himself about to fall on top of Hikari. Waving his arms around trying to regain balance he asked her, "Did..you hear...that?"

Hikari stiffened when he hugged her. She couldn't believe that a captain -even one as laid-back as Ogato- would reach out and touch someone, much less hug. Typically they were too ensconced in their positions and protocol and all of that to really be bothered with seeming human. Besides that, she herself was so alien to comforting gestures that it was like a slap in the face. A shiver ran up her spine. There was her brother and...no one else. She'd never even allowed anyone to touch her besides him and now her captain. So it was doubly shocking when she leaned into the hug. Her tremulous hold on her tears weakened ever further.
She sniffed out of reflex. Her voice was layered with pain and relief. Hidden in it was a nearly-silent tone of denial. "Thanks." Oh how she missed her brother. He hadn't deserved to die and even the afterlife wasn't much of a replacement life.
So well trained were Hikari's senses that she felt the subtle shift of Ogato's balance. Surprised so that her guard was down, she turned toward him, wondering if something were wrong and gripped by the instinctual desire to train her eyes on the issue. Unfortunately, that was exactly when she heard what Ogato had: the faintest rustle of grass. Her head turned and she took a moment to pinpoint the cat. But the thing that really stole her attention was that Ogato might fall. It didn't really occur to her that she could wind up under him.
"Ogato-taichou!" she exclaimed, concerned.

He didn't really think about it before he went to hug her, but he just remember that she could be a bit distant. When she leaned into it he was a bit surprised that she accepted his hug.
As he tried to pull himself up Hikari exclaimed his name which startled him a bit. Looking around frantically he shouted, "What!?" Next thing he knew he completely lost balance and started to fall over Hikari. He wasn't sure how to catch himself so he was hoping she would help him out some how or fall along with him.

"Gah!" she said as he lost his balance and began to fall. Her eyes widened in surprise. The way he was falling surely meant that he'd land on her. Oh sh-!
Hikari closed her eyes as a reflex to the pain. As the captain fell, his weight pushed her down on her back, under him. She'd never expected to find out how heavy Ogato could be, at least not like this. She might have had to drag him to the fourth squad. But, surely someone would have helped her? She was weirdly strong but not enough to cart him around all that way. Maybe she was but she didn't actually want to find out. Dear god, though, he was heavy. It didn't help anything that she wasn't exactly flat-chested. The force from the fall knocked her breathless.
"Oww...that...hurt," she gasped. "Taichou...you're heavy...I can't...breathe."
It was true. His weight was crushing her chest, restricting her breathing. She opened one eye slightly then closed it. Like a lantern, her face lit up red because she was blushing so hard. Ogato was a high-ranking individual, so this was the pinnacle of unusual. What made it worse was that he was a man and she was a woman and he was on top of her.
Oh my god, please don't let anyone walk in! she screamed mentally. The chuckling at the back of her mind told her that Hyushaimaru was most definitely amused. But she didn't have enough air left in her lungs to complain, not that she would have been able to word it. How do you tell someone of that station to move? It didn't matter. She still couldn't breathe.
Get...off, she thought, unable to even string a thought together.

He closed his eyes when he fell down, it wasn't really a reflex he just didn't want to see where he would fall. He tried to hold out his hands so his entire body weight won't be on her. When they hit the ground there was a thud followed by another. Ogato opened one eye and noticed that he pretty much fell flat on her and they were pretty much face to face. When she pleaded for him to get off of her he started to get up as he said, "I'm sorry." He paused as he stopped to lick her face. With a big grin on his face he said, "There, that makes you feel any better?"
He sat up still on her legs. Trying to look a bit more serious he asked her, "Are you okay? I didn't mean to fall on you, I just lost my balance and didn't see it coming."
((Sorry if it's alittle short))

As soon as he let off a little, she began taking huge gulps of air. She didn't really care how stupid she looked, so long as she got air. Even if she looked like a fish. Ogato said something but she was a little preoccupied so it didn't quite register. Him licking her, however, most definitely did. She tensed up, eyes wide and stopped breathing in her shock. There was no way this was happening.
Is he a dog? she wondered in bewilderment. Dogs lick to show affection, right? Suddenly her heart picked up in a panic. Oh no. Oh, no no no no no. It's impossible! I'm the antithesis of lovable! It was true enough. Scars and tattoos and drinking and swearing disqualified her from being identified as such. And that was without including her violent tendencies. She supposed if she wanted to she could dress in more frilly outfits instead of her trademark red shirt and chain sash. But she liked how she was. The problem was other people.
She took a quick breath in and, horror of horrors, began choking and coughing. She curled in on herself and shielded her mouth with her sleeve. Manners dictated that hiding it was the polite thing to do. He was still pinning her legs so he had to feel the force of the attack. It took her a moment to regain enough composure to speak.
"Ogato taichou! What the hell!" this spurred a minor spasm of coughs. "You don't...lick people...What the hell were you thinking?" Her last sentence was by far the most forceful. "Do you want to get slapped?" Now she removed her arm to reveal her angry expression and streaming eyes. She had half a mind to knee him in the crotch. The other half -the sensible half- held her back using logic. What was she supposed to do against a captain? She glared for a moment before her features softened to distaste. "I'm fine. I get the wind knocked outta me all the time while training."

When Hikari started taking huge gulps of air Ogato wanted to laugh, but only turned bright red and smiled with his lips drawn in. He couldn't help himself at the moment so he clasped his mouth shut trying to stop himself from saying what was on his mind.
Since he was still sitting on he could feel her blood rushing as she thought to herself. He wasn't sure what she was thinking, but it was really getting her heart racing. When she started to choke and cough Ogato was a bit worried, wondering is he should try to assist her if things got worse.
When she finally spoke up shouting at him, he pushed his lips back out but was still a bit red. When she seemed to lecture him about licking he replied trying to be joke around, "You don't know what I do. And I was thinking maybe if I licked you, you'd feel better about me falling on you. Besides you look like you need a good laugh." He the stood up and tried to help Hikari up. Still smiling even after seeing her angry face he said, "And if you didn't like it then do what you must. I deserve it, just not in the face or crotch. I'd like to have kids one day and my face has enough problems already." Once she would stand up fully he would stand infront of her with his body stretched out awaiting his punishment. At the very least his smile was gone, but he was still a bit red in the face.

Hikari reluctantly took his hand, allowing him to pull her to her feet. Noticing how close together that put them, she took a conspicuous step back. She refused to look at him, fearing that she would deck him if she did. She didn't get why she was so mad. Or why she was blushing. That was yet another reason why she hid her face.
"The day you become a dad is the day the world ends," she mumbled under her breath. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and raised her voice so he would hear. "Stop blushing and put your arms down, you goofy pervert. I'm not gonna hit ya."
Hikari put her hand on sleeve and pulled it up, revealing her spikes. It was a quiet reminder of how unsavory the consequences would be. She let her sleeve drop before facing him. She really hoped she wasn't blushing anymore. In the distance, by the training grounds, she thought she felt a pricking in her consciousness.
Someone new? she wondered. Oh well, I need to get training now so maybe I'll head over and check.
"Taichou, I think I'll be making my way to the training grounds soon," she said. "I need to work hard to be a good third seat. There's so much I don't know. I could improve in so many ways."

He was glad that Hikari wasn't to mad at him to accept his help. He felt a small bit offended that she back away from him, but she didn't really blame her since she probably didn't exactly like him licking her.
He seemed to hear her mumbling, but didn't exactly hear all of it. When she raised her voice for him to hear telling him to put his arms down and called him a pervert his redness faded a bit. Frowning a bit he said, "Okay, I suppose I deserve that, but what I did wasn't perverted. I could have felt you up or something, but I didn't because I do have morals and....stuff." He looked down not knowing what it was he wanted to say at the end. He didn't really notice the spikes, but he had dealt with worst in the past so it won't bother him to much.
Looking down he thought to himself, 'I know Nico would get pissed when I would compliment her, and that was extreme, but I think I might have annoyed Hikari. I'm surprised she didn't hit me although I wish she would since I probably deserve it.' When Hikari mentioned going to the training ground he hadn't noticed the presents in the training ground yet but when he did he recognized that it belonged to two of the new members. In response to Hikari's statement he rubbed his head and said, "Okay, well I'll be around somewhere...And sorry about that whole thing with me licking you."

Hikari pursed her lips in a thoughtful manner as she listened and absorbed his response. Maybe she had been too harsh. Clearly it offended him. Yet, she tended to call them like she saw them so he shouldn't be so a**l about it. It's true that they'd kept their distance from eachother, if only from necessity, but shouldn't he have realized by now that this was just the way she was? The whole thing was amusing and irksome which was a strange combination.
"If you're so innocent, then why are you blushing like pubescent teenage boy?" she asked, drily. Her voice was soft and lacked any traces of accusation, in fact, it was more teasing than anything. Just to assuage him, she smirked, her crimson eyes dancing.
He seemed lost in thought. She almost felt bad for him. Hikari couldn't be sure but it almost seemed like he didn't know what to do. Maybe the noticable lack of violence on her part bothered him? Probably not. Somehow, she doubted what she did meant very little to him. She wasn't daft enough to think a mere subordinate would matter. Hikari turned to admire the massive sakura, absently stuffing her fists in her pockets. She inhaled deeply before looking at her captain out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to gauge his reaction.
"You know, I may be a violent and crude b***h, but I don't actually bite," out of reflex, a crooked smile spread across her face. "Well, at least, not when I don't have to. You should come with to the training grounds. I'd love to spar with someone of your caliber. But you felt what I felt, too. I intend to have a little fun, assuming they're who I think they are. Knowing you, Captain Ogato," she put emphasis on "captain" to mess with him. He wouldn't get off so easily, "you'd want to take a crack at them, too."
Without another word, she left. She couldn't use shunpo and running was just a waste of energy so she opted for a nice leisurely stroll. It would give Ogato a chance to catch up, if he so chose. More importantly, it gave her a chance to think. Clearly, a line had been crossed. He was still her superior and respect was still a must, but she liked to think they were friends now. Or very close to it.

When Hikari commented on him blushing earlier then questioned why he did so he laughed and said, "Well, that was just because you kinda reminded me of an old friend from squad 2, except she won't shy away from a chance to kick my butt. I think she would have killed me if I touched her." He smiled feeling as if he was on trial. "Of course I rather you not kick my butt if it's not in your heart to."
Standing there still thinking to himself he noticed Hikair admiring the sakura before inhaling deeply. When she made a bold statement about herself Ogato frowned a bit then said, "Violent, maybe, but a b***h that you are not, especially not a crude one." Looking up at the canopy of the trees he sighed. When she suggested that he joined her and the new recruits at the training grounds he lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll be there in a moment, and stop calling me captain. I know I'm your captain but you know I don't like that." As she walked off Ogato glanced down at her then back up a the canopy. He was staring blankly up when he realized that Hikari was long gone. Deciding that it was time that it was time for him to get out of there and join her he pick up his sword and sheath he had resting on rock earlier. With his things all gather he walked to the training ground. His reasons for doing it instead of using shunpo was mostly to help clear his head on his way there.

Tomoya
Vice-Captain Challenge
Fourth Division
Post [1/2] Although Squad Eleven was such a harsh and crude squad Tomoya had to admit they had a nice garden. Such tranquility ,and peace was a welcome sight to Tomoya having been being harassed by some of the members of Squad Eleven as he made his way just to this spot. Tomoya came to this place a lot as he was often assigned to take care of it, plus he held a certain amount of power that kept him from the worst of Squad's Eleven's bullying nature. The reason behind that reason was that he once accidentally snapped at one of the members once a while ago putting him in the hospital. Thanks to that he had gained respect among the other members for being so powerful despite his small size.
Moving through the Garden Tomoya started cleaning things up as he cleared out the weeds trimmed the bushes, and vines so as they did not over run the rest of the plants ruining such a beautiful garden. This kind of work was Tomoya's favorite he loved working with plants , and flowers maybe it had something to do with his zanpakuto, but that was only part of it Tomoya had always been given flowers by Karin , and from that sprung his lover for flowers. One would think this would bring sadness to young Tomoya who was easily swayed by emotions on the contrary through it brought him happiness to do something that his sister had always encouraged him to do.

Tomoya
Vice-Captain Challenge
Fourth Division
Post [2/2] Tomoya was almost done as he planted some new flowers where there was empty spaces, and as he carefully watered them the love he poured into his work could clearly be seen. That was Tomoya's philosophy when it came to gardening the more hard work , and love you put into it the better the results would be so far his philosophy has held out to be true all these years of planting flowers. Sitting down on the ground Tomoya admired the work he had done so far , and took a small break sure that the last bit wouldn't take him long at all. As he sat there relaxing a certain girl was watching from the shadows.
Once he was done with his break Tomoya stood up , and cleaned up whatever mess he made , and picked up the tools before he started to water the rest of the plants as well as replacing the fertilizer with a new fresh batch that was a lot better then the type he had been using before. With all this done Tomoya started heading towards the exit when he noticed the presence of that certain girl as he kept on walking smiling to himself knowing that the girl knew he had notice her. This had been a game between them since he had saved her back in squad nine he would go somewhere , and she would find him and hide.
