Muramasa grins at him as they break up their match. "You weren't playing? I was. Any rate, I know your lord. I can reintroduce you to Mizu Kenji, if you like," he offers between sips of water and toweling himself down. "Alright, let's be serious, I guess," he says putting on his serious face. If by serious face one means narrowed eye and set jaw and an ever so subtle smirk. "Let's definitely carry this match on between classes."

Hikage smirks he had been playing during the match he supposed. If either of them had been serious one or both of them would have been injured. His smirk spreads as Muramasa says lets be serious "Where is he fun in being serious as Sora likes to say?" He asks not expecting an answer. Their is a small part of him that is starting to wonder where his friend has gotten to but he quickly dismisses the concern. Figuring that Sora was most likely at his headquarters or in a lab somewhere.Hikage then snorts at Muramasa's serious face as he gets in line next to him. He then proceeds to practice the moves that they had already learned earlier that day. While following instructions he pondered about whether or not he wanted to meet up with Mizu-sama. It has been a quite awhile since he has seen the guy.
Muramasa laughs and swings his bokken at Hikage. The only things that had kept him from joining eleventh are his interests are more into elemental works and he has an interest in not getting anywhere near Kuroyuri when she is fighting or training. That woman is an oni! "They certainly didn't let us get into it like this back at the monastery. I LOVE IT! Let's keep sparring until they throw us out!" He continues to make his attacks and feints, dodges and blocks. His grinning one eyed face shows that he is clearly reveling in this sparring match if his words were not enough to convince Hikage. The fire in his eye shows his amusement is a fervent passion. "You are really good! Keep it up, ninja boy!"

Hikage grins broadly at Muramasa as they are paired off again. He was coming to enjoy this match a little to much. He swings his bokken at Muramasa blocking one attack and making his own. The clashing of their wooden blades is almost deafening to the spectators. Who were once again watching them and not practicing. Once again a teacher sighs and directs the majority of his students away from the two who should have been in division eleven. The two would either need an instructor who could focus on them or just be left alone to do their own training. "Yes lets fight till one of us drops um I mean they kick us out." As he continues to fight a small portion of his mind drifts off to the Mizu clan. It really had been a long time since he had been home. Their were many things that were keeping him away over the years. Like a good chunk of his branch turning traitor and his relationship with Sora. Though they both denied being in a relationship. He continued his dodging and attacking almost as if he actually wanted to kill his opponent. He could never fight Sora on this level and was loving every minute of it.
Kuroyuri walks into the Jade Soul Dojo and does not need to look for long. The young lord is busy sparring with somebody with a serious intensity, but a laughter that shows that he is reveling in the match. "Well, now I see why he was kicked out of the monastery by his father and put into the priesthood. Yup, totally normal thing to want in your priest," she mutters. "Sir, that man with the eye patch is Lord Muramasa, or as he is called among the shinigami Seventh Seat Hi Muramasa of Ninth Division."
Kyosei grins broadly and calls out, "Lord Muramasa! You have a guest who wishes to see you!" He chuckles to himself and makes note that the man he is sparring with is Okami Hikage, Sixth Seat of Second Division. "Ohayō! Okami-san!"
Muramasa is in mid swing when he hears his name get called out. WHAP!!!! "Itai!" he yelps as he grabs his gut. "Very good, Hikage!" He straightens himself up and walks over to see Tanji, Kuroyuri, and Kyosei. "How can I help you?"
XXXXX Tanji walks into the dojo right behind the Oda siblings, who call over Muramasa Hi before he can slip away to force them to get the information out of him themselves. Muramasa then walks over to the three of them and asks how he can help. Tanji then waits about a second and a half to see if either of the Oda siblings are going to answer and take over the conversation so he doesn't have to say anything, but neither so much as look like they are going to answer so Tanji lets out a loud yawn before saying "Nice to meet you Mr. Hi. I'm Tanji Masaki. Normally, I'm the third division third seat, but currently I'm the temporary acting vice captain while Vice Captain Sanada is recovering from her injuries." then letting out another yawn before he continues speaking "I'll get strait to the point so you can get back to sparring sooner rather then later. Would you be able to tell us where Hinote is currently, or at least point us in the direction of someone who would be able to? A certain someone barged into my office looking for her saying she didn't come home last night so I'm helping look for her." lightly shoving Kuroyuri forward as he emphasized the words "A certain someone."

Hikage was truly enjoying himself as he and monk boy fought. Were they even sparing anymore or did this match count as a proper fight now. It probably did not matter they were having a good match. At least until a familiar voice calls out."Lord Muramasa! You have a guest who wishes to see you!"Hikage is not able to stop the blow to Muramasa's gut or the one that lands on his own shoulder WHACK!!!! "Itai!" he yelps as he grabs at his shoulder almost dropping his bokken. But he just manages to hold on to it. "Nice one, Muramasa!" He says glaring in Oda's Direction. He had quickly recognized the seven foot ninja from his own division. However he does not recognize the other two that he sees with Oda-san. "Ohayō! Oda-san! Die Oda-san!" he says as he rubs his shoulder. Not knowing that their is another Oda present. He follows Muramasa over to the trio and smiles up at Kyosei "How are you today?" He asks the seventh seat of second division. If not for Kyosei being in his own division and Sora he would probably be interested in this giant. Once again why was he attracted to the overly tall ones. Hikage then catches what Tanji was saying and loses his smile. Then after a polite bow to the acting Vice Captain turns his attention to Muramasa wondering who Hinote was and if he would be of any help in finding her. Training or even sparring could wait especially if this person was in danger.

Upon hearing Hikage snap 'Die Oda' Kuroyuri takes this as a personal affront and snarls, "DIE?! WHY YOU LITTLE SHRIMP! I'LL END YOU!" The eleventh division member is displaying exactly why she was ripped from the medical program in the academy. "DON'T THINK THAT ONE SEAT DIFFERENCE WILL SAVE YOU! LET GO, KYOSEI! I WILL BEAT HIM WITH HIS OWN ARMS!"
Kyosei grins ruefully at Hikage, but before he can respond he finds himself grabbing Kuroyuri who has the temperament of a yellow jacket. "Kuro-chan, no!" He struggles against her strength and fails each attempt. "Please! I don't think that he was directing that at you!"
Muramasa smiles at Tanji and gives him a slight bow. "Ah, you're looking for my sister. Well, I am not at liberty to discuss the meeting, but she was there with me and a handful of others. However, the meeting got disrupted and a crime occurred. Apparently the fourth seat of tenth was brutally attacked and nearly killed. She left to go help out and to see her friend. It is a pity, because Tora has so few friends right now. I do hope the poor girl pulls through." After a while of trying to ignore Kuroyuri and the other two making a ruckus he chimes in, "Hey, you are being disruptive. Why not go cool off, Kuroyuri. This is not the time or place." Kuroyuri freezes and looks like a deer in the head lights. He gives her a stern look that says that he is not kidding. Sighing a breath of relief after she turns and goes outside to wait he mutters, "Just what are we going to do with her? She's so wound up tight." He looks back to Tanji and says, "I'll go with you. I probably should make sure no ribs were broken during today's sparring match." He looks over at Hikage. "You should probably get that shoulder looked at. We made some serious contact today."
XXXXX Muramasa responds to Tanji's question by informing him and the Oda siblings of an attack on the 10th division's 4th seat that interrupted the meeting he and Toraneko were at, and how she left to go see her (presumably in the fourth division given what he says after about going with them to make sure no bones were broken in the sparing he was up to before he and the Oda siblings arrived.) "Who was the 10th division 4th seat again?" Tanji thought to himself before hearing Hanaki's voice echo in his head "Last you checked the listings of who was what seat. It was the quote 'bitchy Ellarose' in that seat.""Oh thanks Hanaki." Tanji mentally responds to Hanaki with as he says "So we are off to the Fourth Division HQ next then?" aloud to everyone else as he turns towards the exit and begins to start walking out of the dojo, pulling out a crunchy candy bar from his sash and unwrapping it as he does so.

Hikage is startled by Kuroyuri's sudden, violent outburst and raises his eyebrows at her. The small ninja can not help but smile a little as she yells at him. "Ops didn't know you were an Oda too" He says to her. unfazed by her anger or being called a shrimp. Many people have called him a shrimp over the years. Hikage debates whether to eg her on or actually apologize. But before he could do anything Muramasa sends her outside to wait. He then grins sheepishly at his sparring partner. Since he actually wanted to eg Kuroyuri on even though his shoulder was screaming foul language at him."I apologize for my part Muramasa-san I was not aware that she is Kyosei's sister... She is the one you told me about right Oda-san?" He glances at his tall friend well from one tall friend to the other. "Vice Captain Masaki-sama I apologies for my bad behavior... Yes we should go to fourth to get looked at and see if your sister is there." Hikage was not to concerned about his shoulder which hurt like hell but he was certain that it was not broken or anything. But Sora would learn about it and fuss if he did not take care of it now. He was also concerned about the two ladies even though he knew neither of them. Maybe afterwards he would go see Mizu-sama if Mizu-sama permitted him to visit. He may also pester Kuroyuri later maybe a good fight would help her settle some of that pent up anger in her heart.
Muramasa smiles politely at his companions and starts to head out of the building. As he does he hears Kyosei's stomach growl. "Not enough to eat again, today? Here, take this and get some actual food for once. You'll do nobody any good if you pass out." He grins at Tanji and is amused at his ability to focus past the nut jobs around him. "Sorry about that, Tanji-sama." After that he exits the building and signals to Kuroyuri to follow with them. It would be good to keep her where he can be sure that she is not going to cause trouble. None of them really have any duties to deal with in their divisions right now, or they would be there right now, after all.
[Exit 4th]
Kyosei sighs a big breath of relief seeing Kuroyuri being sent out to cool off. He is even more relieved when Hikage does not take things as serious as he could have. "Yes, sir. It is like living with a proximity mine. Most of the time she is alright, but she has a fierce temper. Hard to believe at one point she was going to become a doctor in Fourth Division! Unfortunately she rose to the bait of another student and beat the crap out of him for a solid hour before anybody could pry them apart. It didn't help that other students were placing bets and didn't let the teachers come through. A few days cooling off in a cell and she found herself out of the medical program and fast tracked to Division Eleven's training program." He feels his sleeve getting tugged and then a hand full of coins, enough for several meals, being pressed into his palm. His eyes light up when he is told to go find something to eat. "Yes, sir!" He salutes Hikage and darts out before being given any potential orders. Why waist a chance at free meal and a continued day off?! HA! He was gone in a heart beat.
[EXIT Tea House]
Kuroyuri sulks outside and stews for a while but then sighs, "Well, damn ... I managed to stay out of trouble this long and now I'm in hot water for sure. Stupid ninjas." Not long after that Kyosei goes bolting outside of the building and down the street. "I wonder what he is up to ..." She shrugs and is not given too long before Muramasa and Tanji step out of the building and signal for her to follow. "Hai!" she says to both men and follows them to Fourth Division.

Loki walks into the Jade Soul Dojo and looks around. "Boys, stay over there for now. I don't want Olly getting hurt." He pats the toddler on the head and smiles at his older son. Good kids, even if they could be a handful. He drops his travel bag on the floor next to where they are waiting and starts to stretch. Traveling by dragon back was swift, but lacked any manor of getting to stop and stretch one's limbs. He was feeling cramped and uncomfortable from having to hang on in the same position for a hours on end and only taking breaks to allow for nature and to feed the dragon. After it had departed, he had been left to the outside of the Seireitei. "I just want to get in some kind of work out today before we go looking for where my new assignment is and where we are going to be quartered. If I can I will try to get us an apartment," he explains as he walks over to the dummy and starts to spar with it. Not the most interesting sparring partner, but what can you do? For now most of the others are busy and he does not know any of them yet.
◤[ The Dojo, the place of battle an training the body to the rightful state of peace an calmness, which for the male, was the place that he needed to be in right now. Weak, powerless, an most of all, in a state of being lost, cause his body was rusted an missing everything that he once held. Power, Speed, Rage, the basic fuel that was like food for him to gobble up an survive off of. Kaito sighed, hands deep in his pockets as he was walking into the dojo, making his way crowds of people, going in an out of spaces he found, walking past what seemed like a old man an his family. It wasn't much, but the sight was something that made him sick to his stomach, family, the only thing he never had growing up, the only thing he wanted but could never get his hands on no matter how much he fought an tried. Taking in a deep breath, he released it, using a Flash step to get past everyone else in a moment, heading into the only empty spot on the side of the property of the dojo.
Kaito wasn't really a people type of person, or wanted to be around crowds either, since it was just something that made him hate being who he was an such. Letting out a deep breath, Kaito removed his hands from his pockets, only to place a hand against the standing dummy, letting out a deep breath, eyes closing before striking the core of the dummy hard enough to shake it. The power was there, but not enough force was behind the strike to send it backwards, which meant that his body was not anywhere near the level that it should have been for him. Laughing softly, he sighed an chuckled, looking down at his fist, wondering what his body was going to him, why it was putting out the power an force it once held when he was in his peak. Was his body that rusted, that nothing was going the way it should have for him, or was he just that much weaker when he was last able to train an let loose.
Nothing in his life was the place he was trying to get it towards, which for the male, meant that he was going to have his hands full getting back everything that he once held an had. Lightly scratching the back of his head, Kaito was looking around, watching an seeing what the many others in the dojo was doing, how they unleashed their power an brought the dummies to the point of breaking, or sending them backwards with little to no effort. Even if he was back into peak form, the sight of the others, how young they are, brought him to a point, that even himself, wasn't going to obtain anything he wanted in his current state. Not wanting to push himself even further, the male sighed an scratched his chin softly, lightly closing his eyes, focusing on his breathing an getting that into a working order an state of calmness.
"So in the time that I was to stop training, my body ended up getting rusted, the power an force I once held, now nothing more then a newborn puppy with no teeth, no bite, not even a bark huh. So it seems that I have lost my touch, an which what I have become now, how would I be able to face my past self, If I can't even muster the power I used to hold. What have I become, that my body won't respond the way I want it to. Has my time away, made me into the weak person I am as now, or have I just lost what was driving me to get stronger. Either way that I look at this, the time I'm gonna have to spend on training an working this body back into shape is something that I must put all effort an time in, even if I gotta do work, I'll focus on making sure I return to what I used to be, an while doing so, I learn some way to get even stronger an make it up the ranks an such."
Taking a deep breath, the male sighed, closing his eyes for a few moments to catch his breath, to focus an clear his mind an remember what his real reason for being here was. It was not meant to be a way to vent his emotions, it was meant to to train an break his body of the rust, allowing him to get back into the swings of things an focus on what he needed to fix an work on. The time for him to fix his issues was at hand, but how to go about doing so was going to be the part he needed to spend some time on to study an improve upon. Kaito wasn't gonna be in his current form for long, he was going to to break out of the shell, an get into a stronger an better version of himself, while trying to maintain his way of doing everything. It could take hims weeks, or months, even years to reach the point he would feel best at, but would that be something he wanted to rush towards, or take his time to get to, cause right now at the current moment in time, his goal was something different while getting back to his old self as well. The issue was, how was he was going to obtain the power an skills he would need to ensure he would get to his goal in the shortest amount of time he would need, without pushing himself an breaking what he was given an such.
Letting his hands rest at his sides, his eyes had opened, the sight of everything around him, left him with a pale look on his face, everything moving in ways he was not sure he could pull off either. Not wanting to let it bother him anymore, Kaito looked around, watching an trying to see just what everyone was doing, what moves they had learned, an how they took those moves an used them against the dummies in an around in his vision .]◢
With Olaf being watched over by Benjiro, simply known as Olly and Ben by him. Hopefully he is not making a mistake leaving them to their own devices, but he can't bring the toddler into the training area.He talks with his boys as he trains, explaining each move as he practices them to get it better than just correct. He wants to be proficient. "How are you holding up, Ben?" he calls out over his shoulder while he spars with the dummy. It is certainly not the same as going up against another person. "In a few minutes I will switch out with you, Ben. You can't just rely on your spells. You need to be able to physically defend yourself if you find your powers cut off for whatever reason. We may be far from home, but as men we must be strong and learn how to fight." He really does not mean to lecture the boys, but still feels that this is a good moment to discuss this. "You are entirely too skinny and lean. We need to try to get some muscle mass on you. So as soon as we can afford it we are increasing our protein intake. Despite what your friends said when we left, not everybody here is going to be vegetarian, so we should not have any issues finding enough meat dishes and protein rich foods." His next blow causes the dummy to rock, something that it is designed to do if there is enough force in the right places. This gives him a satisfied grin.
Benjiro who preferred to be called Ben enters the dojo behind his father and younger brother. He was dragging his feet some since he did not want to train today. He wanted to explore their new area. They could train later after they have settled down in there new home. Scowling Ben drops his travel bag next to his fathers. And stretches a little, riding on dragon back could be tiring especially after several hours "Yes Dad." He says leaning against the wall as Loki starts stretching out. Then goes to beat up a sparing dummy. While his father is practicing Ben see's the other shinigami enter the dojo then flash step to another area of the dojo. He turns his attention back to Loki while teasing Olly with a stick that had a clump of feathers on the end. It was not long before Olly grew tired of the toy and starts climbing on his older brother. Ben grins at Olly as he climbs on him this was something that the teenager was used to. He then scowls at their father who is explaining his every he does to them Ben then mock growls at Olly when to toddler gets in his face. Olly giggles and moves to n** at Bens ears. Ben retaliates by gently chewing on his little brother. "I am fine Dad." He answers with a gleam in his eye. "But Olly his going to be eaten." He says as the toddlers laughs loudly from the tickling he is receiving. The young Shinigami sighs as his father starts to lecture them on training their body as well as their powers. The teenager then glares at his father when he starts in on his weight. They had been down the road several times in the last year or so. He may not train as much as the old man, Or eat the same amounts but he ate plenty and was active enough especially when he was watching this hyper little turd he called brother. He opened his mouth to reply to Loki when he heard. Or thought he heard. "Damn"Ben blinks a little startled by what he had thought he had heard Olly say. "What did you say Olaf?" He demands then hesitates as Olly whimpers at hearing his older brother start to scold him. Ben then grins as it dawns on him what his little brother actually meant to say "Dans?" He asks Olaf nods vigorously as Ben's grin turns to a smirk. "Hold on." Ben gets up and goes to to get something out of his bag. After a minute or two digging in his bag he pulls out a kind of harness. And glances at Olly as he jumps excitedly "Come on?" he says before helping the smaller child into it. Once his brother was settled in the harness he puts it onto his back. Benjiro then moves away from the wall. "Take your time Dad." He says with mischief in his eyes. Olly giggles as Ben slowly starts bouncing to make sure that the bag was set right and would not break as he jumped around. As he started his warm up he realized that it would not be much longer before he could no longer do this while holding Olly. It was not long before his bouncing turned into jumping in place. Followed with jumping one step forward then back then to one side then another every few jumps he spun around just to make the little boy laugh. After a few minutes of this he started altering the pace. Paying close attention to how what lay around him and to how Olly reacted to each move he made. At one point he finishes each jump and spin with a kick. The whole time his younger brother is laughing his head off. Ben is enjoying himself a little to much. After several minutes maybe half an hour Ben notices that his brother was no longer laughing but snoring. He had danced his brother to sleep. Ben slows down to where he is no longer jumping or even bouncing. Ben faces his father and sways from side to side to wait for Loki to finish training and take the sleeping child off of his back. With Olaf asleep maybe they could both train or just leave. Knowing his father there would be more training.
