Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tansen nodded a greeting to Suri before he carefully brought the pots and bowls of food to the dining room and placed them on the table. "Phew, finally finished...I'll help you bring a matress into your room for Michiko after dinner Mizu. As for dinner tomorrow, I think it would be a great idea for you to cook, I'll help if you want." He went back to the kitchen quickly to return the apron he had been using to the closet and then washed his hands before sitting down with Suri and Mizu and filling up his plate with a bit of everything on the table. "Normally I would think it better to wait for everyone but I don't know when they'll be back so, dig in!"

Asuma sighed, as he watched Suri disappear. "I guess...it would be best to join them..." Returning to his sullen mood, Asuma shunpo'd down to the kitchen, in a chair on one of the far ends. A few bowls of rice in front of him, Asuma picked up the chopsticks, breaking them apart from each other. "Itadakimasu..." He said to himself, before he started to stuff himself.

After Tansen was certain that everyone had finished their food he cleared his throat so as to get everyone's attention. "Okay, here's the plan. We have to investigate the vizards as soon as possible. However, I think doing so right now would basically be suicide. If we're going to do this, we have to be ready. So...Tomorrow we're going to begin training. Not to increase our strength, but to increase our powers of stealth. Hiding and detecting reiatsu is difficult to learn, but very valuable during missions such as this one. I suggest you all get a good nights sleep tonight, you'll need it." With that being said, Tansen gave everyone a farewell nod before taking his plate and placing it in the sink before heading up to his room upstairs for some shut eye.

((Suri, I know this is one of your specialties so I'm hoping you can help me with the teaching. As for Asuma, Michiko and Hitsugaya, I don't know if you've already been trained in reiatsu control of this kind of level so if you have, tell me so I can have you doing something else. That is all.))

After finishing his meal, MockaDash went outside... So this time, I'll really guard the mansion's premises... he said out loud to himself, as he stepped outside and lighted a cigarette that he had previously rolled...

Mock gazed at the bright moon on the clear night sky, as he exhaled some smoke from his nostrils... He was at peace with himself now... For a brief moment, he even allowed his own mind to forget that they were there on assignment, instead of a vacation...

Mock found a nice tree trunk, on the garden, to lean on as he continued smoking... He have decided to spent the night outside, since the first second he had arrived at this place... This mansion reminded him to much of the Rukongai's abandoned house, that he and four of his friends used to call "home"... How long has it been??? he thought How long since they died by the hands of those hollows???

They used to live in one of Rukongai's dangerous districts... So every night, one of them would stay outside the abandoned house and guard it...

Tonight, I'll be the one making sure you're safe... My friends... he accidentally said out loud, without realizing that the words had actually came out of his mouth... He gazed upon the stars and was amazed by how different, and at the same time how similar, the night sky was, to that of Soul Society's... I'll keep you safe inside my heart and mind, until we can meet again... I hope...

I won't let you down a second time...

He finished his cigarette and incinerated it on the palm of his hand, by focusing reiatsu there, and causing it to burst in small flames... He let himself rest against the trunk a few more minutes, before walking around the mansion's perimeter...

((Asuma is ok, just for the sole fact that most of the time he doesn't have a large amount of reiatsu to hide, mainly because his gloves limit his power to about half. That being said, he needs help with concealing it. So, the training would be good.))

Finishing his meal, Asuma just stared at the bowl as Tansen talked about their training. if they were to really train with reiatsu concealment, they would need to be at their highest levels. They would have to be able to conceal their reiatsu almost completely for now, since they still had the limiters set on them. When they would be removed, if they were, anyway, would cause a larger amount of reiatsu to need to be concealed. The training would be rough, but it would help. Sighing, Asuma only nodded slightly, still not in the mood to talk. He stood up, placing his bowls into the sink, before walking to his room, after Tansen.

[Toshiro is brand new to the Vice Captain position. He hasn't recieved such training yet. So it would be beneficial for him. In the mean time, I'll send him outside to guard in his shinigami form. Aren't there barriers that hide shinigami and their reiatsu around the house?]

Toshiro sat down and slowly began to eat with the rest of the squad. Due to his non-existant appitite, he only ate a few bites before finishing. He was among one of the last to finish eating as he waited for others to finish as well. When everyone was finally complete. He walked over to the so called 'sink' and twisted the handle. Water began to flow out as he grabbed a sponge and began to scrub each and every plate clean.

When he was finally finished, he walked outside of the house and got out of his gigai. The gigai flopped to the ground as if the character passed out. He carried the gigai back inside and layed it against the couch as if he passed out beside it. Walking outside, he jumped up on the roof and sat down. he began to scan the horizon for any possible dangers. He looked down and saw Mock lighting another one of those 'cigarettes' he smiled at his newly made friend and continued his scan.

He wouldn't be able to sleep that night. Not when his mind is constantly treading on her... he missed Kuraime so. "I'll see you soon love..." he whispered under his breath.

((No prob. Actually, I'm not gonna be able to Rp as much because of RL stuff as well. I might be able to go on tomorrow for a bit in the afternoon, so until then, I'm afraid you guys are gonna have to be patient. Sorry guys))

((back from camping, I'll be here for a while))
