 『Ulixes Cernuus』 Ulixes waited until Sephiroph was out the door before following, falling slightly behind his Lieutenant due to the time it took him to fit through the door. He made a mental note of Jack's request for more red pens, remembering to bring it up at the next budgeting meeting. Ulixes lengthened his strides, catching up to Sephiroph with ease. "I have been meaning to work on my Zanjutsu techniques, specifically Deadly Darts. It's one of the few techniques that my Zanpakuto's proportions are suited to, and it would fit well with the 3rd Division's focus on long-range combat, for when I am not in Shikai."
Ulixes warned his Lieutenant of his exact intentions as they walked - he believed that surprise attacks had no place in training, unless said training was specifically for practicing defending against them, or general sparring. Not that he could have surprised Sephiroph with the technique - he needed to attach the cloth to the hilt prior to the battle, effectively warning Sephiroph as well as if Ulixes had simply told him. "Are there any specific techniques you are planning on practicing, or will this be a more general training session for you?" Ulixes wanted to make sure that his needs didn't dominate the training - he took care of the needs of his Division, including those of his superior officers.

Jack was alerted when a Hell Butterfly flew into her Office. For lack of better words it seemed sick. Jack got up from her seat to collect the messenger gently in her hands. The message that came though was garbled. As best that jack could tell something was happening in Inuzuri. Jack placed the Hell Butterfly on the desk before grabbing he haroi and Zanpakutō. She gave it clear orders to rest. It didn’t need to push itself to hard.
As she flashed out of her Office she shouted to any Officer in shouting distance, “Report to Inuzuri! NOW!”
Jack pulled her Haori on as she flashed to Rukongai. She had no time to waste! Hel Butterflies were only used in emergencies. She wasn’t sure what was going on but, it had to be big.

Captain Jack Mallory of Division Three exited from her Shunpo in front of her Office. The members of the Detention Unit landed with her. Members of Division Three eyed them warily. It seemed like news traveled fast despite the lack of Hell Butterflies. Jack was amused to see that the members of her Division were ready to fight. It appeared that the targets they had in mind were the people that made up their Captain’s unwanted escort. Jack smirked evilly as she wondered what would have happen if she had betrayed the Central 46. That would have been interesting.
Jack called out, “Somebody find Jinsin Octus and send him to me!”
The members of Division Three scattered to deliver the message. Jack entered her office and was glad when no one followed her. Jack had to wonder about the future of Division Three. Her Lieutenant was currently in a coma and Jinsin was Acting-Lieutenant. Who knew if the Lieutenant would wake up and, what would hae happened to Division Three is Jack had been deemed a traitor. It was time to get Jinsin ready to lead the Division if it came to that. The first step was Ban Kai. However the first step to that was perfecting Jinsin’s Shi Kai. That would take some work. Still before all that he needed to know what happened.

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." Jinsin was confronted by several members of the 3rd division who told him Captain Jack requested his presence immediately. He was relieved she was fine and back in her office, ever since he was called to serve as a witness for her he'd been worried, but now that he was confident she was fine he felt he could finally rest his mind a little bit.
Wasting no time Jinsin arrived at Jack's office and prepping himself a bit, he stepped inside. He stopped her sitting at her desk and bowed "You requested me?"

Jack was considering all that had been said and done at the sham of the trial. Someone had it out for Nanashi Yamamoto. Someone had it out for Jack as well but, that seemed entirely inconsequential in light of Nanashi having to run. Jack looked up as Jinsin came into her office. Jack steepled her fingers as she considered the man. Her elbows were propped on her desk and, her eyes were calculating. Nanashi wanted Jack to talk to the Captain of Division Ten. That would be difficult while she was under house arrest but, maybe Jinsin could help her. She would not ask for his help until he understood what was going on.
Jack whispered as she asked, “My gorgeous Third Seat. My marvelous Jinsin.” Jack tugged on her ear, “How much trouble would you be willing to get into for me?”
While Jack was speaking she tugged on her ear and, place the index finger of her other hand against her lips. Those were the universal gestures for, “Be quiet. They might be listening.” Jack was about to enter into some very dangerous waters. She would need all the help she could get. She wasn’t afraid to ask for it but, if someone refused she wouldn’t force them to assist her.

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." Jinsin let out a sigh. As soon as the compliments started pouring in he already knew what was coming. As she began whispering he came in close. He noticed the gestures she was making, someone was listening, which made since considering her current predicament. She was asking for Jinsin's help with something, he knew it was serious and that she unable to do it herself else she wouldn't be asking for help, so he complied.
"Haha, you are my captain, as much trouble as you need me to."
With this he put on a smirk. "Please don't get me arrested!" Jinsin pleaded inside in his head, his eyes giving no hint at what he was thinking. "I must ask though, what is this all about?" He hated going into something blind, but he trusted Jack as she trusted him and so if she couldn't tell him about whatever mission she was sending him on he understood.

Jack’s smile was tight as she told Jinsin, “Surely you’ve heard the report. Nanashi Yamamoto has been deemed a traitor. She is to be killed on sight.” Jack’s whispered returned, “Except for the fact that it’s not true. Someone tried to frame her and, inadvertently framed me as well.” Jack looked Jinsin dead in the eye, “Your testimony saved me which is how I know whoever it was, was trying to frame Yamamoto, not me. They had gotten to Nanashi’s witnesses and somehow convinced them to lie.” Jack scowled “The Central 46 is apparently a bunch of incompetent morons and didn’t pause to consider the fact that since I had been framed it was very likely that she had been framed as well.” Jack became serious, “I plan on proving her innocence but, there is not much I can do while under house arrest.” Jack sighed in order to steel herself, “I cannot order you to do this as your Captain but, if you are caught that is what your excuse will be.” Jack finally asked the questions she needed to ask, “So here are my questions. Do your believe me and will you help me?”
Surprisingly Jack trusted Jinsin to not talk about this conversation even if he didn’t agree to help. However she couldn’t accept if help if it was not freely given or if he didn’t believe her. Jack found herself willing to believe that he would believe he. She had never once lied to him and, he knew she didn’t lie to anyone.

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." Jinsin was wearing a grim face as he sat and listened to his captain. The sitaution had apparently went far deeper than he first thought. Someone out there was working from the shadows attempting to get rid of Yamamoto and Nanashi, and judging by Nan's sentence, his plan was working. Hearing that Nan's witnesses were all met and convinced to lie was troubling. Jinsin felt both lucky and angered that this person hadn't confronted him. "Had he I would've stopped him then and there." Jinsin thought to himself.
Regardless of what he wished would've happened what happened, happened, and there was no way of changing. He was just glad he was able to save his own captain and now that he needed her help with something so serious he nodded his head. He would help her, not just because it was his captain requesting it, but nobody deserved to be setup and screwed the way Nanashi was. "I believe you, it all makes too much sense for me not that. That said, I will help you in whatever way you need. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I am on it." Jinsin knew Jack wasn't a liar, and it was times like these he really displayed his undying loyalty to Jack.

Jack slumped as she let out a sigh of relief, “For now nothing. I want to get started right away but, that would just arouse suspicion.” Jack shrugged, “So for now we train. We see if we can make a decent officer out of you so when we do start you can hold your own if it becomes nasty.”
Jack was so relieved that Jinsin believed her and, was willing to help. Having someone on her side made it seem that she could actually accomplish something. She wasn’t too experience when it came to politics and intrigue. Then Jack forced herself to think about that. She did know people and at the core of politics and intrigue were people. Jack grinned; maybe she wasn’t as helpless as she thought.
Jack flipped out her hand to Jinsin as she smiled, “So! Tell me about you Zanpakutō. I’ve only ever seen it in battle. Tell me about your strengths.” Jack’s smile twisted into something odd, “But most importantly tell me about your weaknesses. That way we can compensate for them.”
Jack was surprised to discover that she was looking forward to this. It had been a long time since she had been ruthless while training someone. However she couldn’t afford to take it easy on Jinsin. There was too much at stake.

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." Jinsin loved the idea of training. In his past life he was weak. He blamed himself everyday for what happened and upon his arrival in the new world he vowed to never again let someone else get hurt because of his own weakness. Strength was all he desired, and he'd never turn down a chance to get more of it. "That sounds like a fantastic idea!" Jinsin said with a smile. Then she asked him about his Zanpakuto.
"To know the power of my Zanpakuto is as simple as knowing it's incantation. Dust your shoulders and rise to your master's defense. As my incantation implies Marionette's design works around covering my weaknesses." Saying this he glanced down at his Zanpakuto, Marionette has saved his life countless times, and for that he was eternally grateful. As many shinigami, his sword was everything to him. Looking back up he continued,"I am weak at close ranged fighting, my zanjutsu is better than my taijutsu, but both are weak. That's where my Zanpakuto comes in. As you saw in our fight, Marionette serves to defend me and cover my weaknesses. If any opponent approaches too fast or too close Marionette will protect me. You fired your arrow at me, Marionette came to cover me and carry me away from you. That is my Zanpakuto. My other major strength is my kido. Since I lack so much in the other major combat arts i've spent a lot of time on my kido. This is also used as a keep away tactic." Jinsin felt weird exposing himself to Jack, but as her captain and someone's he fought with he had no doubt she noticed his lack of zanjutsu and taijutsu skill.

Jack considered for a moment before answering Jinsin, “My hand-to-hand isn’t as well of as I would like but, my sword play is alright.” Jack considered Jinsin from the corner of her eyes, “That seems to be the curse of Division Three members. We are all farsighted.” Jack stood to stretch, “Here’s how I see it. We are going to do sealed Zanpakutō training. You can use any method to defeat me you want but, you cannot unseal your Zanpakutō until I say so.” Jack grinned, “Don’t worry I won’t be using Shi Kai or Ban Kai either.” Jack pointed out, “It will do use both some good to train our weaknesses.”
In all reality Jinsin should be grateful Jack wasn’t limiting Kidō or swordplay as well. Jack was tempted too but, she didn’t want to make the battle completely uninteresting. She just wanted to make it challenging for the both of them. It wasn’t training if it wasn’t hard. Jinsin should know that even if he would curse it.
Jack asked Jinsin as she moved to the training ground, “Do you have any questions about the training my dear Jinsin? Now would be the time to ask them because once we start there will not be time to ask.”
Exit to: Division Three Training Grounds ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." He thought over how funny it was. As long ranged fighters, zanjutsu is something they ironically should be good at. But by spending so much time polishing long ranged fighting you're left open to any agressive opponent who can quikcly close distance, and if you can't do taijutsu or zanjutsu you're practically forfeiting the match. "Yes that does seem to be our bane," Jinsin commented, "And while it makes sense since we are after all the long ranged division, it leaves up open to anyone able to quickly close distance." That being said while neither of them was an expert he enjoyed the idea of his Zanjutsu getting at all better.
Jack then asked him if he had questions, but she had made the directions clear enough. No shikai at all. And for Jinsin that 1 rule alone made him know this fight would be hell, but fear was not something he could afford to have, so instead of a question he made one more statement before turning to head to the training field. He spoke with his back to hear but he had no doubt she could practically hear the smile on his face. "Just don't hold back."
Exit to the Training field.

Jack Mallory, the so called Archer of Death, landed just outside of her Office and, blew into the door. She shucked of her Captain haori and, hung in on her hook. She slid onto the stool and, placed her sealed Zanpakutō on the desk. She was not in a good mood and, she didn’t like being in a bad mood. She watched as the subject of her ire came in through the door. Lieutenant Jinsin Octus was in so much trouble. She had just made him her Lieutenant and he repaid her by disregarding her orders. She didn’t need this. She was too damn tried to deal with his but, she didn’t have a choice,
Jack asked him, “Why am I angry at you Lieutenant Octus? I know you know. Or are you an idiot? Did I make an idiot my Lieutenant? Because if I did you need to say so now so that way I can fix this problem.”
This was not traditional Jack behavior. Usually she was fairly kind. However she didn’t lie so she was calling the situation as she saw it. She couldn’t allow people to disregard her orders just because they felt like it. Jinsin had to know that. She didn’t actually think he was stupid. So he must have had a reason. It better be a damn good one.

"A TRUE WARRIOR IS CALCULATING AND STRIKES WHEN IT'S NEEDED. BUT A TRUE MAN NEVER GOES DOWN FROM A BATTLE." Jinsin arrived with Jack to her office. By her demeanor it was clear was both pissed and exhausted, and he knew why. So as he followed her in he didn't say a word.
He took his seat, and she wasted no time firing off at him. Jinsin closed his eyes keeping his breathing even as she called an idiot, and pondered if she'd made a mistake giving him his new position. While hearing her snap this way wasn't pleasant he wasn't upset by it. because he understood it. When she was done Jinsin opened his mouth to speak to her.
Keeping his tone calm and even he began to explain himself, "You did not make a mistake giving me with this position. You just lost a friend, I just lost a friend. I couldn't bear leaving you alone once again knowing how far the nearest help was. Not to fight 2 strong espadas, and a hoard of hollows..." He looked off to the side, pausing, then continued. "When I was in the human world it was my weakness that caused my father to die. After that I was alone. Alone for a very, very long time. You were one of the people to extend a hand out to me, and since then I feel like i've gotten to know you so well, even though there is much you have yet to tell me. Still, I can't go back to being alone, and if I had lost you out there, I know that's how I would've ended up. You won't tell me, but I can see it in your eyes. You know the feeling of only having yourself, of being truly alone. One day maybe you'll tell me your story... But that isn't the point, the odds were stacked, and you and me were the only one's there. I didn't simply defy you, I broke it down in my mind and did what I thought was best. You wouldn't have given me this position if you thought I wasn't capable of thinking for myself. The scene they were causing alone would've brought help as Rin showed, two long range fighters one airbourne and one grounded could provide good cover and rid the hallows as Rin focused on fighting. You call me an idiot out of anger, but there was not one thing on that field I didn't account for when refusing your orders, with all due respect."
It felt weird speaking up to Jack like this, Jinsin thought. But, he would not be talked to as a child, when his strategic prowess was one of his greatest attributes.

That was a god reason. Jack had to admit that it was a good reason. Still Jack had to wonder if Jinsin knew what he was saying. He was lying. He hadn’t thought of everything. Jack despised liars. Jinsin knew this.
Jack’s voice was cold, “So you thought of everything. Then tell me this. If you died, if I died, what would have happened to Division Three? What if Captain Rin had not showed up? I didn’t order you to get help just to get help. I ordered you away to make sure that Division Three didn’t lose three Officers in quick succession.” Jack placed one hand on the desk, “I can take care of myself Jinsin. I have been doing it for so long it doesn’t even matter how long.” Jack looked Jinsin as she said the next bit as seriously as possible, “In battle I don’t make decisions with myself in battle. I make decision with the good of the Seireitei and, more importantly, Division Three in mind. Please tell me you understand this.”
Selfishness had no place on a battlefield. Jack knew that most people thought she was a selfish slut and, she wouldn’t contest that title. It was true and there was no point in fighting truth. However once she entered the battlefield she forgot about herself. She didn’t have the luxury to think about herself while on the battlefield. If Jinsin didn’t understand it she might have to beat that into him.
