-- EPOCH II --
Sereitei could not allow this place to remain on Earth. Having served as base of operations for 13th Squad's Shinigamis while Soul Society was occupied by Aizen's forces, it was decided that this place should be brought to the Squad's grounds.
And so, a detachment of the Kidou corps was sent to the place. They performed Kūkanten'i and exchanged this location with an empty area of the Squad - one that was cleaned up after having been reduced to ruins during the occupation and the liberation assault.
Now this place stands in the 13th Squad area, between the training grounds, the endless forest, and the barracks.

[ENTERS from Captain's Office]
Mock arrived at the new area. It was left unused since they had begun cleaning up the Squad and rebuilding it. The wasteland was still there, as well as the two buildings and the pool carved on stony ground.
Turning to face the Shingiami that should be following him, the Captain said, as trails of smoke were leaking out of his nostrils. So... Ready to make up for lost time?

†»‡«Hatsume»‡«† A short shinigami casually followed the tall captain. His shadow casting over her figure; shading her. Her tail slumped down nearly lifeless as she stopped and paused when MockaDash had turned to face her and the fellow squad mates who had followed. Her large ears giving a pleasant and cheerful reaction as one lowered along with her 'cute' tilt of the head. "....Hehehe, You know it! Anywhere, anytime..!" She smiled softly, keeping her adorable facial expression for the time being.
....She enjoyed doing whatever needed to be done, whether if it was training or doing other duties. ^---^
((Sorry if it's short!))

MockaDash frowned as he turned to face Hatsume. The little mischievous kitsune had done it again! So you finally showed yourself, huh? I was sensing your presence for a while now, but was waiting for you to reveal yourself. Apparently, you're still able to surprise me, as you pick the most inadequate moments to do so... Mock send a smile towards Hatsu. How are you today, Hatsu-chan? I wasn't talking to you back there, but to Mikazuki there. Mock said as he nodded in the direction of the female Shinigami that was approaching. I'm supposed to train her now, but you're free to keep us company if you want.
Turning around as he smoked, the Captain continued to walk until they all reached the temple-like structure. Meanwhile, he was saying Today, the training is all about Mikazuki. You'll have your chance soon enough. Walking ahead of the group, Mock was receptive in case Hatsu wanted to climb onto his shoulder, as she usually does.

†»‡«Hatsume»‡«† Curiosity gripped her when she noticed his frown, but by now she recognized her Captain often frowned just before smiling! It was in her nature to notice repeated actions, expressions, etc. Furry ears flicking when he began speaking out, almost seeming to grin at the aspect she could keep her Captain on his toes in some sort of way, all aside of what he ment when he said it.
Sure enough, his smile reappeared and proved her thoughts correct. Red eyes sparkled with delight, she was obviously getting to know Mocka-sama alot more better! Listing her head back to it's normal position she answered without any hesitation, "..I'm good! Alive and ready! Mika-zuki..?" Although, she did pause speaking Mikazuki's name slowly as her memory tried to identify her. Did she meet this lady..? Was she the one from before? She only got a glance of that other girl, before she got busy with taking over the Sereitei and such... It seemed familiar, but maybe she was trying to think to hard...?
She'd destroy her interrupting thoughts with a recovering second-part answer when she heard MockaDash gestured today was about training Mikazuki. It was as if her grin had somehow enlarged even more, training other members..! This was going to be good! "Hehehe, You have anything special in mind for her training Captain..?!" Hatsume asked, nearly like a excited child about to go on some wild rides in the fair or something. Noticing the Gotei 13 Captain walking away, the foxen soul reaper quickly followed in a swift manner, making his own assumptions correct as she attempted to skillfully climb up onto his shoulder. ^^ Awaiting the answer as she admired the view and enjoyed the ride.

Following Captain Mock a little ways off, Mikazuki lagged behind a certain distance. A trail of his smoke let her know that she was still going in the right direction, though she wasn't much for its smell. She followed him to a familiar area, one that they used to inhabit during the exile on earth. It looked just about the same as when they had left it, though it was a slight bit dustier. The Captain said something but she barely heard it.
Mikazuki stopped in her tracks when she looked up and noticed that there was someone else with them. She noted them making conversation and she pressed forward halting a few feet away from the two. The energetic Hatsume was already attempting to climb onto Captain Mock's shoulder, and all Mikazuki could do was smile and wave, hoping she remembers her.
"I guess we have a spectator for the training session today, Captain?" she said, giggling a little bit at the sight.

You'll see... Mock answered Hatsu, as he allowed her to climb onto his shoulder, and even helped her get there with his arms (not that she needed it). With the kitsune clinging to his back, he turned around and answered Mikazuki with a smile. It sure seems that way.
They had reached the temple by now, and Mock was facing his student. Before we can commence your training there is much to talk about. the Captain began saying, with the kiseru hanging from the right corner of his mouth, and smoke coming out of it and his mouth and nostrils, as he spoke. What have you been doing all this time? I haven't seen you around the Squad.
Why did you choose to join the Divine Protectors, out of all the other Squads, and why do you believe you deserve this training? He spoke in a blunt way, simply straightforward and not at all aggressive.

So many questions too answer, and yet Mikazuki knew the answers to all of them already, at least somewhat. There were a couple questions the Captain mentioned that she did not quite understand the answers to herself. Mikazuki thought that the way she delivers her responses might be in itself a type of training, or it could be a inquiry; who could tell? Knowing that she had to choose her answers carefully, she stood composed and looked her Captain straight in the eye.
"To answer your first question, Captain," Mikazuki began, "I have been here, though quite out of the picture . . . if you know what I mean."
She paused in her words, not knowing what to say next, or better yet, how to explain her feelings. Looking down at the ground, rattling her brain for an easier way to explain, she continued her response:
"I have spent quite some time . . . contemplating. I know that I did not do anything at all for the past mission on earth, and though I know I am a new member, somewhere in my mind, something is telling that I am not yet ready for this type of responsibility", she said, looking up again at her Captain, while rubbing her arm, almost in an apologetic way.
"As to your second question, Captain," she stammered, "part of my answer comes from the philosophy that any power or ability should not be used aggressively, rather as a means to protect."
Mikazuki stood composed again, regaining a little bit of her confidence. Clearing her throat, she continued: "As our Squad's namesake suggests, I chose this Squad in order to do just that, to protect all those that need it, and those who deserve it."
"And for the last question," she sighed out, looking a bit more dejected than before, "I believe that I am not deserving of this training at all."
Pausing for a while, she tried to find words that were a little bit more straightforward, "Yet I do not wish to be a burden on our Squad, and so, as a member, I would like to be able to carry my own weight, without having to rely much on my squad mates. In time, it might be even my turn to help them, as they have done in welcoming me."
Mikazuki looked to the sky, feeling as if she had said everything she wanted to say. She looked back to her Captain and this time, asked him her own question, "Are my responses sufficient enough, Captain?"

Only you can tell, if those answers are sufficient enough. If you spoke truthfully, then they are. The Captain paused to deeply inhale some smoke, and let it out with a sigh. Let's leave... You're not ready.
(( Short post, sorreh. But, it was on purpose. xp ))

(( ARghhh!! I'm behind!! Nuuuu!! ))
-:¦:-Hatsume-:¦:-] Rather pleased on the shoulder of MockaDash, his smoke never bothered her probably due to out through her life she was surrounded by atleast one smoker or heavy smoker even. Her uncle often even stuck a cigarette in her mouth time to time gagging the poor little fox in a attempt to make her look cool. XD!
Only her twin actually accepted her uncle's gestures; Hatsu never actually enjoyed the taste of tobacco- not even on her most stressful days. All that aside, her head turned when the sound of Mikazuki came closer.
Hatsume turned her head around to gaze at the female, becoming much more comfortable when Mockadash had turned around to look at her so she didn't have to twist her head around to just get a glance. It was her! It was, it was the same lady she met before! She grinned as she listened to the Captain's response, then kept quiet as they spoke back and forth with each other....
Her expressions changed often between question and hearing the answer, then the response of MockaDash. Her heart went out for the new member, frowning abit, her eyebrows slumped down as she turned to face Mockadash. "Isn't there anything we can do to help..? What if I try afew things..? Like talk to her abit or something? " She also expressed her flattened ears, she knew her Captain's words had meaning... and if she wasn't ready- then she wasn't ready... but she wanted to help in some way.
((Awful posty I know. @.@ ))

"Well then," Mikazuki began, not entirely unexpecting the Captain's answer. Looking up, smiling at the both of them, she said, "with your permission, I will take my leave now Captain. Thank you for your time."
She turned around from the Captain and Hatsume, slightly depressed, yet also content at the answer she heard. Walking to the edge of the Sanctuary, she put a finger to her chin in a pensive way, her mind was processing the OTHER thing she was considering. Mikazuki stopped in midstep, looked left and then right, and then turned and headed for the Training Grounds.
Sword rattling by her side in a slow, contemplative walk, Mikazuki raised a hand and said: "I'll see you later then, Hatsume, Captain."
{Exit to Training Ground}

MockaDash let out a sigh. This wasn't the outcome he was expecting to get out of his this. Hatsu... The Captain said as he smoked. Would you be so kind as to fetch Mikazuki for me? Use force, if you have to. He was expecting that at least Hatsu would know him well enough by now, to understand what Mock's aim was, from the start.

†»‡«Hatsume»‡«† Watching Mikazuki's response was like watching a horror movie...! O_o; Her ears shifted down as they pinned against her skull tightly. Red hues slowly went from being shocked to shifting into a glaring motion as the girl walked away and out of sight.
As MockaDash sighed her tail flicked, swiftly moving up and down only at the tip; gesturing her annoyed and irritated emotions. Thankfully things lightened up as the captain called her name, and asked a favor.
"....Mnn-hhm. Got-cha." She responded rather quickly, sliding off much like a a bustling squirrel slide down the trunk of a tree, before the kitsune calmly stocked after the fellow female, mumbling while she did so. "She's going to be learning something today, that's for damn sure." So, she was off, giving her Captain a last 'I'll be back soon' look before fading off as she went towards in the direction of the Training Grounds.
[Exits to the Training Grounds!] *plays jaws music for Mika* >,..,>

((LOL! Mashiro you need to pay more attention to detail. The area is located on the 13th Squad now and not on Earth, and it hasn't changed a bit since the last time you were here. Also, Mikazuki is a girl, not a guy! xp ))
