♪ Have you ever encountered such a beautiful melody? ♪ ═══════════════════════╕
"No no, these are actually better suited for decorative purposes in my mind," Kyo replied pulling out the handcuffs once more and holding them up between the trio. "Even though they've become worn, damaged and old, they still do not falter in their desire to protect and serve the innocent populous. That's the message I want to deliver to my division. Even though they may be battered, bruised, and broken, never let their sense of justice be damaged. That is the weight of a Hachibantai Shinigami Police Badge." Kyo smiled at the two of them then looked up at the sky. "Ah, seems I have run out of free time for the moment. It was nice chatting with you gentlemen but I'm afraid I must depart now. I can't allow myself to fall too far behind schedule, though this break from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind was quite welcome if I do say so myself."
Kyo went to shake each of their hands as a farewell before turning and walking away. He wasn't about to leave just yet however as he had one more thing to attend too. For a couple weeks he had been trying to schedule an informal meeting with Nu, but she'd been putting it off for some time, claiming there was more important business to attend to that didn't leave time for unscheduled meetings. Kyo figured it was probably something quite different due to his constant studying of everyone for security purposes. He had concluded that she simply didn't want their meeting to be misconstrued as something romantic, which he could understand, but Kyo being Kyo felt that the Seireitei was not a high school and fear of rumors should not be reason to blow him off. That she kept doing it was beginning to annoy him quite a bit as a matter of fact. After all, he merely wanted to see if she would be interested in staging a training exercise for both their respective divisions that was a mock up of a Maggot's Nest jailbreak. He figured it would be better training of only the two of them knew about it being faked, hence the secretive nature of their meeting. So Kyo now figured if fear of them being seen as having a relationship were the problem preventing a meeting, he would solve it in his own way. He calmly walked over next to Nu with a wide smile on his face and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. Excellent, Chiyoko-fukitaicho is here. If my data is correct, she is trying to push Naohito-taicho towards a relationship along with Hakase Elisia-Taicho. "Nu-chan, Kirisho-taicho brought the handcuffs. I hope to see you tonight. It's been really lonely at my house without you there," Kyo said as he was spinning the newly acquired handcuffs on one finger. He was abusing the fact that many of them had never seen him joke or lie and his forwardness with a lot of things most would deem too personal for standard conversation together with a lovesick tone of voice to push through that he was serious even though he wasn't in the least. "I'm going to depart early to do some catching up on the paperwork I left on my desk this morning. I'll leave the spare key in the usual place, so just let yourself in alright." He then turned his attention to the rest of the group, "I'm sorry I cannot stay longer to chat with all of you. Perhaps the time will present itself at a later date. However, for now I must depart leaving you with my sincerest farewell." With that he bowed to the group before disappearing as he shunpo'd out of the garden. Perhaps from now on she won't ignore me when I request a meeting. After all, she can be afraid everyone will think we're dating if they already do, Kyo thought as he made his way back to the Hachibantai Headquarters. Zetsumeireiki and Kyo's inner vampire were literally speechless. They had known Kyo would go to great lengths to do his job, but this was a bit much even for him. He had essentially started a rumor about himself and a fellow captain just to get work done. That was dedication in the truest sense.

Just as she closed her eyes once again to drift to a sleep, her ears rang with somone calling out to her. Without even opening her eyes, she could tell who it was by the voice and opened an eye in slight interest. "Please, I should be the one apologizing to you for making you do it. I shouldn't have dropped it back there.." Thanking her warmly, she slips on the cloths around her slender neck in a more fashionable way before turning to Czar. "He's my date I presume, though he is also a captain. " With a slight laugh at her own little joke, she points to the ground with a sense of disdain. "Seems he has been hiding a few drinks, no harm done really...." Taking the remains of the gourd, she quickly loads it into her empty plate and hands it to a waiter who was passing by, thanking the ma for taking it. "So, I see you and Lee-taicho are getting closer." If she were to hear her voice, it showed no agression of jealousy, simply stating what could now be assumed fact.
"Good job, I hope you two the be-" Her conversation was soon interuppted by another, yet this time, more irratating voice. It belonged to one Kyoshiro Kurihara, Hachibantai Taicho. One would think that the two captans would be on better terms, seeing how they both serve in cerain dregrees of law enforcement, however, that was simply not the case. Nu, while embarassed to say, actually makes way in her schedule to avoid the man, preferring to be by herself. Though it seems today she could not easily shake him away, as he started talking. "Do not think we are on such good terms for honorifics such as- Wait....what are you?" She was completly dumbfounded by his seriousness of tone, which made him all the more beleivable to the group. "B-but I! But we never!...." Before she could raise a fist and slaughter the man, he ran away, leaving her awkward to a group who has no idea what went on, but most likely had ideas forming in their minds.
"Ignore that......I...I never, I wouldn't have..." All she could do was sigh, this was getting old.

Sora Kazama, Sanbantai Fukutaichō 
Sora looked over at how nervous Czar appeared to be and couldn't help but grin in response. Then came Czar's very humorous reaction to Nu being called his date and leaving Sora with an even bigger grin. "It's alright Taicho I am impressed. It takes some major stuff to land a woman like that." While it may not have been a good idea to talk about Nu in such a way while the woman was nearby the thought never crossed his mind. He liked teasing his captain and didn't really mean anything by it. Unless Sora ever truly did hurt Czar's feelings then it wasn't likely he would be stopping anytime soon. Hearing the rest of what the man had to say Sora let out a light chuckle draping his jacket over his shoulder then proceeding to ruffle Czar's hair with his left hand. "You need to get out more and socialize Taicho. Fear not I shall take you to socialize later tonight."
Seeing the sake fall out of his Captain's robes Sora looked at it for a moment before once again ruffling Czar's hair. "Holding out on me Taicho? You should be ashamed!" Shaking Ciel's hand Sora declined the over to have a seat preferring to stand at the moment. Nodding in greeting to Suzume he turned to look at the female Lieutenant for a moment. "Pleasure is all mine beautiful." Glancing over at Nu Sora caught her looking off in the direction of the food table after having declined any food. Something he found incredibly odd. After all if she was hungry she should just eat right? Turning to the servant that Ciel was talking to Sora cleared his throat. "I would love something to eat I am starved. Okay let's see....how about you just surprise me huh? Cause everything smells so good and my stomach just can't make up it's mind. Oh and bring my Taicho something as well even if he declines. He needs the food to help him grow."
Turning as yet another woman made her way over to the group and said hello Sora couldn't help but think it was his lucky day. If he would have known that his Captain was this good at attracting female shinigami well they would have been going out for a drink every night. "Hello to you as well cutey." Running his hands back through his hair Sora turned back to Czar and leaned down to whisper to him. "Taicho. How have you not got a girlfriend by now? I mean seriously the ladies flock to you like your a little bunny rabbit or something like that. Or are you more of the type to keep two or three at a time? I like your style." Standing back upright they seemed to have been joined by yet another man that singled out Nu. After he left Sora grinned rubbing his chin for a moment. "Wow you are in to some pretty kinky things..."
Putting up his hands defensively Sora let out a little laugh. "Whatever you say gorgeous. I really have no reason to doubt either one of you. Still though he seemed pretty convincing..." Turning back to Ciel Sora ignored the others present for the time being realizing that he didn't know what the other man's name was quite yet. "What is your name anyway? I don't recall you saying it though I could be mistaken. Sometimes I have limited short term memory." With that Sora rubbed the back of his neck and let out a laugh. Sometimes he could be forgetful after all.

 Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi nodded to Kyo and issued a short farewell of his own before the Captain left. With a sigh, he looked over his shoulder and watched whatever was going on with Nu.
'Honestly, is this the Hakase wedding or hers?' wondered Tadashi with an amused look on his face. It was amazing how the 2nd Division Captain was attracting so much attention to herself when it seemed like she wanted to be left well enough alone.
Tadashi, with some surprising degree of interest, watched as Kyo went up to Nu with the handcuffs and wondered if his maybe-joke wasn't a joke after all, and that Nu was the woman that he was referring to. For some reason, it made him lose a bit of respect for him. However, when Kyo outright told Nu that he had acquired the handcuffs for the following night, Tadashi broke into a grin and knew it was a lie. He then began to laugh a little upon seeing Nu's face, and knew that she would probably be the brunt of many a nasty gossiper now. That is, if at least one person at the reception was cruel enough to spread it around the Seireitei. Either way, it was surprisingly entertaining to watch.

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ The Rokubantai Taicho was late the party. At least his fashion was in toll. His Grey kimono and hakama were well designed as he walked through the streets toward the Hakase residents. He did attend Tsukiko's and Elisia's wedding, but he over slept in the morning and forgot his Zanpakuto at home. So after the wedding was over, he sneaked off to go retrieve it. "Man... yer pretty stupid fer forgettin' 'bout me..." the familiar voice rang into his right ear drum. "Shut up... if you had reminded me to take you along, I would have remembered. Since Kurihara-kun became Captain, I've had to do his choirs... meaning cleaning the dojo and whatever else he did. I've been so exhausted, my mind is discombobulated." Tetsunosuke huffed from his mouth as his pace was quick. His sandals snapped on the ground, causing a graveling noise with each steps. A small bit of dust was kicked up each time. His black hair had been trimmed down some, looking less wilder then usual. His bare hands were a unusual sight to see. This Haori-less captain carried his Zanpakuto concealed under his Kimono on his back. He did not know how Hei would feel about him waltzing in with his sword dangling on hip onto his property. He Shunpo'd to reach the ground of the Hakase family faster. The entire previous ear was spent training with Kyoshiro, so improvements were an obvious thing. His steps had gotten better execution and strength behind them. He was finally on par with the other captains - besides Nu and a few others obviously. But that wasn't his main focus. His focus had been on his sword techniques. Which had improved drastically as well as his strength.
Tetsunosuke had soon reach the northwestern area of the Hakase estate. The acres Hei now owned were something Tetsunosuke did not become envious of; nor of the butlers, unique locals, or random ponds. Tetsu envied not of him... well... "Besides the food..." He was instantly beside the table where all the food was; salivating to an extent of a rabid dog. "Thank God, it's not all be consumed!! Yet!" Tetsunosuke got a plate full in a matter of 30 seconds. He was a terrible cook, and buying food from restaurants meant just that, buying it. Tetsunosuke was almost crying as he had a kabob hanging from his mouth. "Itadakimasu~" He sobbed as the kabob fell to his plate. A waiter had came and given him some water as he requested. Everyone there, including Kyo, were now merely shadows in his mind as he had pulled a chair out with his foot and was sitting down. Another plate had randomly shown up in his hand, he was sitting down and slowly enjoying his food. A pair of chopsticks were available to be plucked apart and used in the middle of the table. Which he had already down. Free food meant to Tetsunosuke: eat until you poop, after you've poop, eat some more. But, Tetsunosuke wouldn't practice that today. These two plates may only had two more accompanying them today. He finished the plates in about 7 minutes; leaving them completely naked of food. He was standing up for seconds now, pushing his chair back as he did. Tetsu walked over to the plates to grab on for now. Grabbing some of the same things he had on his last two plates but also some new things. He scanned the scenery, noticing Hei was preoccupied with sharping his blades. Seriously, for his daughter to have just gotten married, you think he would be doing something else. "A wolf?! Since when does he have a wolf?" Tetsunosuke's first emotion was of surprise, but quickly shrugged it off. Food was more important to him right now, especially when it came to Hei. He sat back at his table, a waiter had filled his water for him. After a few minutes, he was about to finished his third, and now, final plate.

xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx【 SUZUME CHIYOKO 】 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLoneliness hit me suddenly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut it’s only t h e n that I realized,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxafter all that I have ever DREAMED of,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI really don’t like F I G H T I N G ✿✿✿ Suzume inwardly nodded and cringed to herself as Sora answered, calling her ‘beautiful’. At the very least, it was much better than ‘little girl’ or the other nicknames she had been given in her lifetime. Since she was younger than many she knew, they often referred to her as being still very ‘immature’ or ‘young’. In that way, she could sympathize with Czar, although he was obviously a few years younger than her and a Captain too. Lifting her head up, she noticed Eriko and smiled to her as the girl approached. While not well acquainted with the Captain, she knew her from bits and pieces here and there. From what she had overheard, apparently Eriko and Suzume’s own current Captain were in a relationship of sorts. Her eyes carefully traced over Eriko, evaluating the girl. Well, not bad altogether, but then again, she hadn’t seen much of the other girl’s personality. That could be figured out later. Taking another drink of sake from a waiter, she sipped it quietly, blending into the background. Right now, she felt like merely relaxing for a bit. After all, their duties and training would resume after this, so it was nice to have a quiet moment to oneself.
Her attention perked up a little when Kyo arrived and she half-heartedly registered the fact that he went to Nu first. However, what he said next, or at least, what it sounded like to Suzume herself, made her nearly choke and splutter on her drink. What the hell? Turning confused eyes to Nu, she raised an eyebrow as the other girl Captain attempted to push it back. While she did not know Kyo very well, she had heard that he was ‘one of the most serious people’ that anyone could ever come across. Anyway, if it wasn’t true, it might be fun to tease Nu about it every once in a while. Of course, she’d set her facts straight before telling anyone else, namely her sister. Pulling a cheeky grin, she said to Nu, “Oh, my, my, my. No wonder you never want to date any other people.” She let out a fake sigh, “Well, I guess you two do look pretty cute together, Naohito-Taichō.”

Nu was forced to clean up the personal mess Kyo left for her, the Captain planning to get back at the man later for this. But for now, she simply sighed and shrugged her shoulders. Turning to Sora, she tries to save face by raising a fit in retaliation, but Suzume's voice cut through and made her drop her arm in a sudden tiredness. "I have no intention of seeing that man, privately or otherwise....." Sitting down next to Czar, feeling oddly drained after that whole incident, she turns to a cup of nearby sake, thankful for alcohol to take the edge off anything. Downing the drink rather quickly, she couldn't help but feel somewhat lightheaded, not due to the drink, but something else. Shaking off the warm feeling he turns to Suzume and smiles, rather odd since right now she wanted to do something horrible to the girl and everyone in this little group, minus the childish captain. "So did you find anyone special in your life yet Suzume-san?"
[Blah, too short to my liking....]

583  Νanabantai Ғukutaichō
☰ Ciel Girard ☰
▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲ While he certainly committed everything to memory that had happened, especially Kyo's statements to Nu, he was not amused by the conversation. Breathing a short sigh, Ciel's finger went to the bridge of his glasses, pushing them upwards which caused a glare on the lenses, obscuring his eyes momentarily as his entire upper face was shrouded in shadow, giving his glasses the look of shining demon eyes. "Yareyare... Is that really the kind of conversation that should be coming from captains?" He said in a tersely. At times, especially when the captains were acting out of hand, Ciel gave off this commanding, terrifying demeanor that was governed merely by his tone of voice and facial expressions. While he was not terribly frightening, he could make himself quite imposing by having a harsh tone and holding himself a certain way. It was how he kept the otherwise goofy captains in order when they got too out of character for what a leader was supposed to be. He could not count the times on both hands that he had to reprimand his own captain. "This is a wedding reception, not a dating game show. Consider your rank and how your actions will affect your subordinates, please." Lowering his hand, the shadow seemed to flow off his face as his pupils became visible, revealing his politely smiling face as though no harsh words had been exchanged.
"Ah, that was rude of me. I've never seen so many esteemed captains act with such little shame. So..." His voice trailed off as though his sentence had no end, which it did not. It was left like that on purpose so that the others my find their own meaning to it rather than having him explain it to them. Remembering that Sora had directed a question at him a few moments prior, Ciel turned to him with a smile, parting his lips slightly so that his white teeth were bared. "I go by Ciel Girard, the 7th Division's Fukutaichō." Putting his right hand over his heart, he bent at the waist in a small bow before he turned and plucked his book up from the bench. "If you will excuse me..." Without finishing his sentence, he whisked himself away from the large group. Crowds and discussion had been what he was trying to avoid by placing himself away from everyone else, but apparently Suzume hadn't gotten that, leading to everyone else coming over to him despite him wanting to be alone. Traipsing across the lawn, Ciel finally found himself near a food table after passing by a man who was stuff his face, one he realized was Tetsunosuke Harasawa. Ciel made a note on Tetsunosuke by quickly opening his book to a fresh page and jotting down a few words about him.
"Rokubantai Taichō is not a social eater, but will not refuse a free meal. No manners have been exhibited."
He really hated writing in his book because the information was always so scattered. He would much rather use Archive, but in this crowd, there was always the chance what he was inputting would be seen. Actually it was a rather large chance. So, for this reason, Ciel finished writing it down, snapped the book shut, and found himself standing several feet away from Lee and the little boy he had seen before. He had noticed that Lee had already kissed Eriko which meant that his transfer of information had been a success; not that he doubted it.
ℒiterature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.

Aurelius
Now that Aurelius' abilities had blossomed so much, he was no longer surprised by anything. He had so much time to himself ever since leaving the Exaequare to live in a house all to himself in the Seireitei that he had taken to asking his abilities what each day had in store for him. He had also improved his memory so that he could remember what he learned. Nowadays, he knew the entire day's schedule before it even occured so life was somewhat blasé for him, at least the 'second time' it occured for him. Luckily he could amuse himself by being inside the heads of others. Some of the most interesting things could be found in there, but as he was still male, he often used this ability for perverted purposes, but roughly 21% of the time. He was peeking at a memory of Nu's own where she had been looking at herself in the mirror while wearing nothing, when Lee approached him and spoke, saying words that Aurelius silently repeated to himself as Lee was saying them. "Sure, whatever." He responded, turning around from the table he had reached by finding a step stool. He swirled the wine in his glass before tossing his head back, downing the red liquid, cringing at the taste, making a face of disgust and then tossing the glass over his shoulder to where Ciel was standing.
"I am... I have a lot of time on my hands, lover boy." He commented idly, making note of the fact that Lee had finally kissed Eriko. Not that he had been watching, he had just already known all about it. As he turned back to the table, he let out a chuckle. "Any minute now." He murmured to himself. He was well aware of the battle to come and exactly who would attack who, who would win and what wounds each and every one of them would suffer. He was also aware of the tragedy that would befall Tsukiko in the fight to come, and it was the one thing he had not asked about, simply to see for himself how she dealt with it. After a moment of silence, he synced his mind with Tadashi's, tuning it to pick up Aurelius' thoughts, but even more amplified like they were being spoken into a bullhorn. "Tadashi~ This is your mum speaking~ Stop being mopey and get a girlfriend~ Your father and I are disappointed~" He said into his head in a disguised, yet eerie voice. He waited a few seconds for that to sink in, then proceeded to scream into his mind as loud as he could. Even if it didn't scare the piss out of him, his thoughts would be momentarily scrambled.
Hei
Hei merely glanced to the side as Hideki came up to him and quickly turned back to his work. Hideki was one of the very few people he would tolerate bothering him at the moment, though ever since he had left the 12th, he felt a slight hostility towards him that he ignored for the most part. He nodded silently to respond to Hideki's question, but did not answer him for several moments. "Yes, I would say so." And he was, for the most part at least. He would have much rather not have to deal with the gossip girls hanging around.
Tsukiko
Tsukiko's eyes scanned Elisia as she was quiet, checking for anything that might be troubling her, but sadly coming up with nothing. She flashed a childish smile when he hair was brushed and giggled. "Of course! I'll always be there~" She responded in a sing-song voice as she took the gift from Elisia and studied it. Upon checking the contents, she was delighted with what she had found, the picture frame with a clock built in. "It's lovely! How did a guy like Hibiki ever find such a cute present like this?! It's almost like... like he's a girl in disguise!" Giggling profusely, Tsukiko dropped her hands into her lap, cradling the gift gently as she looked over towards Hibiki to see how he was doing. She would thank him later.
[This was originally an Aurelius post, but as you can see, I added Hei and Tsukiko to it since 3 short posts would make me cry. Not feeling any of my RPCs the past few days... sorry.]

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi's heart skipped a beat as soon as Aurelius's voice was broadcasting in his skull, but he calmed down quickly upon realizing who it was. Again, he thought it rude that every thought of his could and was probably being scanned frequently by some omniscient being who couldn't keep his opinions to himself. But this time, he was a bit angry on the inside because he was insulting his family just by impersonating them. Tadashi suddenly felt as if taking Tenma out and teaching the Exaqueer a lesson would be a good idea. He cancelled that train of thought, though, and instead resigned himself to a polite mental comeback...that is, until alarms began to blare in his mind and scattered his thoughts.
'F&%$ing immature brat!' he screamed in his own mind before realizing he'd just given Aurelius the satisfaction he was seeking. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth together, more than just frustrated. The thought of killing Aurelius seemed all the more attractive all of a sudden. As the burning feeling of hatred passed away in the next few moments, Tadashi couldn't help but be disturbed once again at the dark thoughts his own mind presented to him at times. Tenma had told him to cast aside such thoughts of unease. However, upon achieving Bankai, the humane side of Tenma had also added a little amendment to the earlier statement - 'Don't lose control.'

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
The gods trembled
The demons flockedHibiki nodded as Kyo explained the meaning behind the simple handcuffs he had given him. He was honestly impressed by Kyo’s sense of duty and the idealism to justice that he had ”I see, I have never looked at them that way before. That is a most interesting and admirable opinion you have, 8th Division Captain.” commented Hibiki, as he shook his hand and nodded in response to Kyo ”It was a pleasure talking with you as well, Captain Kurihara. I won’t keep you then, have a good day.” after having said farewell to the man, Hibiki gave one final nod before turning around towards Tadashi.
It seemed that his Lieutenant had took the liberty of finding them a place to sit, which Hibiki was gracious to accept seeing as how he had used Shunpo to reach the venue. Walking over to where Tadashi was at, he couldn’t help but notice where his gaze was directed at, curious as to what his Lieutenant was looking at, Hibiki glanced over to that general direction as well, and saw Captain Nu as she entertained several guests. Hibiki noticed that Nu had changed in appearance since he last saw her, she recalled her having wild crimson hair in place of her now sleek black hair. Finding it weird, he realized that she wasn’t the only one, who had changed appearance. Due to his time in the Human World, he had acquired a tan from the day-to-day jogs to keep himself fit, and he had cut his hair short and sported it in a more tidy fashion, compared to his previous appearance.
Thinking about his unintentional changes in appearance in the Human World, kept Hibiki occupied enough that he had missed Kyo’s playful tease towards Nu. And by the time he had snapped out of his self-imposed trance, Kyo had already left, and an embarrassed, Captain Nu was now explaining the situation, much to Hibiki’s confusion. But, deciding that it was none of his business he simply ignored it and approached the table where Tadashi was sitting. Pulling up a chair, he sat down and rested his feet ”Pretty lively party, eh Tadashi?” commented Hibiki, finding it hard to believe he was actually enjoying himself simply chatting with fellow Shinigami, instead of getting any work done, namely the pile of paper works still present on his desk in the Human World. Shrugging his mind off such thoughts, he turned to face Tadashi ”So, how’s--“ he started, but stopped when he noticed the look of rage and frustration in Tadashi’s demeanor. Hibiki recalled having the exact same face every time Hei was mentioned, and though he was able to control it, he still wanted to see the man get his comeuppance ”Yo, Tadashi. Are you alright?” he asked, still finding it a bit odd that his Lieutenant was mad at someone that clearly wasn’t near where they were.The winds were unleashed

 KATO MEISHI Change is the constant,
the signal for rebirth,
the egg of the phoenix,
Angels are bright still ,
though the.BRIGHTEST fell. Kato finally faded...or should we say, shimmered, into view directly beside Ciel, not long after he had heard him close his book. Taking a long view at the surroundings and the other prominent Shinigami also seated at the table, he glanced over at Ciel, noticing the somewhat faraway look in his eyes. "Must be observing the situation...as always," he thought. "I wouldn't be surprised if he knew that I was thinking this. Oh well....someone has to keep us in order, I guess." Tapping Ciel playfully on the shoulder and motioning towards the food, he said, "Have you gotten anything to eat yet? You can still observe people with your mouth stuffed with fo--" He stopped as his eyes glanced over Harasawa. "...Never mind." He chuckled, almost as if he knew Ciel had been paying attention to that as well.
Turning his focus back to the thoughts in his head, he muttered to himself, "Elisia is actually getting married...wow...I can't believe it. I have to remember to congratulate the two. They look very happy together..." He sighed as he took a trip back down Memory Lane. "...I remember when we were just Lieutenants." He laughed. "Naive as hell but dedicated to what we did....how much time has passed since then?"
Kato chose to lay back on the grass and stare at the clear, sunny sky instead of talk with the other Shinigami. There were only two, three Shinigami he felt like talking with and two of them were the most important guests here. As he stared, Kanpata materialized himself and flew into the sky, his form a phoenix that was large enough to cause somewhat buffeting winds to people in the vicinity. Kato laughed. "Please don't do that Kanpata, this is a very important event with very important people..." He added the next part in a somewhat harsher tone. "...that could get very angry if something screws up."
"It's the sun, Kato! I feel rejuvenated; reborn, even!" Kanpata then went into a series of corkscrews and half loops without flapping his wings.
Kato slapped his hand towards his face as he glanced up at Ciel. He would most likely remember this.

__[617]__⌠ H i d e k i < ⌂ 朱 出 来 […] 得 血 ろ ⌂ > U c h i r o ⌡ ▬▬▐ J ŭsanB a ntai Taichō Feeling: S e r e n e E s s e n s e "Truth is simply a conception..."
"Ah, I see. I'm glad you are satisfied for the most part. I came to see how you felt and also to let you know that I am going to use the piano for a bit. Hearing you play sparked my laden interest in the thing. I am sure that you would not object?" After a short pause Hideki gestured a short bow with his right hand across his mid-section before speaking again,"Very well, I wish not to bother you any longer. You seem to be quite occupied. Good day, Hei-tachō." Hideki was beginning to feel awkward after his questions and Hei himself seemed to be bother by something as well, so Hideki did not wish to over stay his little visit. He quietly slipped away from where Hei was seated and moved towards the piano and grasped the microphone that was near it. Hideki tapped it once to make sure that it was on then began to speak into it, his low and rhythmic voice resonating into the air. "I do not wish to make all of you distracted from your on goings, but I would just like to point out my best wishes to Tsukiko and Elisia. May they live their lives to the fullest and not just exist with one another." Hideki chuckled slightly with that and waved to a waiter near bu to bring him a small glass of sake. The man hurriedly moved towards Hideki and lifted the tray to him, at which Hideki scooped one of the cups from the tray. Smiling, Hideki continued,"On another note, after watching Hei-taichō play, I wish to play some mood music of which is for all of your enjoyment. But again, a toast to the prosperity of their lives together!" Hideki raised his glass to the crowd, the liquid swashing around with in its bowels, and then lifted it to his mouth, drinking it down in a few seconds and ending with an exclaim of happiness at the end.
Hideki bowed to the crowd and moved to the piano seat, adjusting it before sitting upon it. Hideki placed his fingers lightly on the keys and ran a few chords with one of the various peddles pushed, so as to get the feel for what it sounds like. Smiling with the results of the melodic sound, Hideki lifted up his hand and waited for the chords within the piano to stop vibrating before starting his first song: Evening Chat - Isaac Shepard. He started softly before it began to pick up the pace. His fingers ran gracefully along the keys as he played, a gentle rock in his body as he played. His eyes were closed and he was simply playing. It was incredibly nice to him. He flawlessly flowed 'Evening Chat' into a Dax Johnson piece, Still Small Voice, but underlaying the deeper tones from it into the first piece. Hideki was surprisingly good at piano, due impartially to his natural ambidexterity, which many would also find odd due to his personality. He had two more songs in store, of which he flowed into one after the other. They were of the same composers, the first being from Dax Johnson: Levity, and the second by Isaac Shepard: Sprinkle to Rain. The later was his favorite to play, as it ran as a nice crescendo, had a touch of mystery, and was both beautiful and ominous. With its sound, images could be seen in the air as the notes took control, forming a story before everyones eyes. It was an incredible piece. It would only aid in the feeling that Hideki had in his gut. One that something was coming. A foreboding presence in his mind.
"...Where nothing is in stone."

547 Νanabantai Ғukutaichō
☰ Ciel Girard ☰
▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲ After sparing his captain a glance as he made his overly flashy appearance, Ciel quirked an eyebrow in his direction and breathed a heavy sigh. He was late to respond to the tap on his shoulder as his gloved hand vanished, snatching the glass that Aurelius had tossed at him out of thin air. Once he had it safely in his grasp, he flipped it up right, causing the single drop of wine left within to fly into the air, then right back into the glass as Ciel calmly set it down on the table. As glass hit table, Ciel was slightly bent at the waist, having to hunch over in order to reach the table itself due to his height. His eyes slid open as he gazed past his bangs to look at the back of Aurelius' head, momentarily boring imaginary holes in his head with his intense stare before his expression shifted when his face could be seen.
Politely, he touched his right hand to his left breast and smiled. "Please take special care with the fine crystal, Young Master. You would not want the owner of this establishment to get upset with you." Straightening up, Ciel quickly twirled around to see that his captain was now, of all things, lying around in the grass like a bum. Not only that, but his very apparent spirit flew into the air and buffeted Ciel and the others around him with fast winds, though he stood still as this occurred so only his clothes and hair blew in the wind.
Ciel stepped forward, standing over Kato, moving his hands to his glasses, once more adjusting them so light reflected off them, causing his eyes to vanish, and shadow was cast over his face, creating a scary expression. "Taichō, please control your spirit, lest Hei get upset with you. Also, is it really all right to be lying in the grass during a formal event? It makes you look like your only skill is being lazy and makes us look bad. Please get up." His hand fell from his face, causing this expression to vanish like it had never been there. Unfortunately, because of Aurelius' antics, Ciel had missed Kato's earlier statement about stuffing his face with food. It was just as well, he would have reprimanded him for that too. Ciel sometimes had to wonder which of them was the other's superior.
His attention was quickly stolen by the sudden announcement by Jusanbantai Taichō regarding his wishes towards Tsukiko and Elisia. He was glad at least someone other than Hei himself was capable of acting proper at a formal event, so he relaxed as the mood music filled the air and flowed into his ears. It was well played, but not exactly Ciel's cup of tea, so he wasn't incredibly interested by it. However, as Ciel was a gentleman through and through, he did not insult the choice of music or even make it known he did not care for it. Instead, he merely turned his gaze all around, taking special note that Tadashi was yet again in some kind of mood. Ciel had long since given up trying to figure out exactly what was wrong with the boy and had simply decided he was an angsty teenager. ℒiterature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.

☾ Nibantai Taichō ☽
Fire consumes all without prejudice
Thunder strikes one with divine prudence
She judges those other see unworthy
A tool for those who know it.

Nu's head perked up when Ciel's usual calm tone grew more commanding then usual, which was usually the signal to everyone that they were getting out of hand. Despite Nu's general dislike to be ordered, she found it acceptable for the lower rank to remind them of their own status, and what is to be expected of them. Nodding slowly, she watches as he leaves to be alone, Nu apologizing to Suzume as well before going off to the food court, particularity near Aurelius and Lee, curious on what their conversation was going. She remembered that she wished to thank the man for his warning on Tomomi's fate, in his own way it was caring in both a blunt and cryptic way, and wondered just how much he knows about....well, everything. Picking up a tray, she loads it up with various foods before resting on a seat behind the telepath. Usually, the boy prefers to spot those whose mind he was reading and he might be occupied with Lee to even check up on her in particular. It was then she found Ciel scolding his captain, apparently Kato's spirit was happy, as it was flying gleefully in the air, though it didn't seem to please Ciel much.
Returning to eavesdropping, it was suddenly ruined by Hideki, though the reason for it quickly forced her to respect his wishes and chose to give up for a moment to listen to him play. Like his previous Captain, Hideki seemed blessed with the piano, though it was a different style then Hei's classical taste, Hideki had his own flair to it, which showed his sense of style and originality. Though when it came to the last piece, it seemed darker for her somehow, a frown appearing s she listened. She wouldn't say it didn't suit the wedding, it was just.....darker, perhaps ominous was the better word for it. Shaking off the feeling, she blamed her paranoia before taking a small bite of an apple she had picked up without looking, an eye trained to look at Lee without him noticing, but her mere sight would give away that she was spying on the man, but she didn't care. There was something disturbing going on, and she was going to find answers, in her own way.
