Karei merely glanced between two of them, before focusing on Kaze after they were finished talking. "By the looks of things, you're causing enough trouble. And if you must know, the reason I was keeping quiet was to be polite and not make anyone more angry than they were... Though it seems my simply being around is enough to infuriate you, even if it is to help you out if you get yourself into trouble."
She turned her eyes down to the tea infront of her. "And I find it very rude of you to say things you should know would make Lady Ryū angry, especially infront of guests." She then turned her eyes over to the other side, looking to Kaela. "However, if nothing was said in the first place, then these things might not have happened."

Kaze looked up, as well as Sakura-Both of them seeming a bit shocked. But as Sakura opened her mouth to speak, it was Kaze who beat her to it-
"You've a lot of nerve to come here and speak to us in such a way! Inside of these walls, we are those who may speak so freely! YOU, however," Kaze pointed at Karei, "Should learn to control thy tongue, wench-Lest I cut it from your mouth!"
"That is ENOUGH!" Sakura stood up, looking at Kaze and Karei, "BOTH OF YOU! I have heard enough! Kaze, SIT DOWN!" Kaze growled, looking to Karei as if to say, 'I would kill you now if I had the chance', before sitting down. "And as for you, miss Musei: While your efforts are noble, you should not try to counter-act another's verbal violence with your own." She sighed, shaking her head. "Let this be a lesson to both of you." And with that, she looked to Kaela. "Please, try not to let my son's attitude affect you too much, miss Aihara. He is a brash boy-But he means well." To which Kaze said nothing, continuing to keep his eye's closed as he sat with his arm's crossed.
This would be hectic...the three of them, combined into a team...things could be disastrous...However, there was also a chance, as she'd thought before, that Kaze may just begin to open himself up. Already he seemed different to her...if tho not by much. She would just have to wait and see...this incident, it didn't seem normal to her-Nor did this meeting. Something was happening here...something she didn't expect. Could this have been...fate? While she wasn't sure at the moment, she was sure now that there would be an answer in the future...
"Now everyone, please drink your tea, and let's try to be civilized, shall we?" She sighed, nodding and taking her tea, sipping at it.

What an interesting situation. Well I suppose it would be useful to have a job, even if it's not very ideal. Now then, I just need some details from Lady Ryū.
Kaela took the tea cup in her hands and slowly sipped some of the tea. It was good, relaxing enough to calm her thoughts. She slowly placed the cup back on the table and turned to Lady Ryū. She took a breath before speaking: "Lady Ryū, I am still curious as to the exact details of this job. If you don't mind please explain to me what it is I'm expected to do."
This is getting more complicated by the moment. Now this man has two companions with him; two female companions. Is he planning his own harem? Well I suppose I'll focus on now. Lady Ryū still looks upset, I wonder how bad she'll chew me out as opposed to the others. Kaela's body began to tense up in preparation for whatever punishment she might receive.
Are you happy little sister? I spoke freely today just like you do. Now I see why you were always in trouble. Kaela just barely cracked a smile while she thought that.

Karei merely bowed her head after Lady Ryū was done speaking to her. "My apologies." She let out before raising her head again and casting her eyes down to the cup infront of herself before setting her hands on either side of it to lift it up, taking a sip from it. She calmed herself down a bit, deciding she'd only talk if it's necessary. So as Kaela asked Lady Ryū exactly what her duties were, she kept quiet. She already knew, but she wasn't the one being spoken to. Aside from that, she was sure Kaela would rather hear it from Lady Ryū than herself...
Karei supposed Kaze would like to hear the explanation as well, and so she guessed he might not like all of what he heard. That or he might, she wasn't sure. She fell into silent contemplation while she waited, looking now to Lady Ryū's face

Lady Sakura nodded her head, "Very well, Miss Aihara-I suppose a little detail into the job would be helpful. My son makes a habit of causing trouble wherever he goes-" She looked to him, "Like the Medical Ward of the Fourth Division." Kaze looked up, a bit shocked. "Yes," She said calmly, "I heard of what you did. Nothing escapes me, as much as you would like to think otherwise, my son." Kaze looked at her for a moment, a blank expression on his face, before he merely nodded his head, and went back to closing his eyes, taking a sip of his tea. "You shall look after my son, making sure he gets into no trouble...and if necessary, you have my leave to use violence-If only to break up a fight between rivalries. As I'm sure none of you are strong enough to tackle Hollows yet, I suppose I will leave it to the instructors to train you." But she knew that that wasn't quite true...out of all of those here, Kaze had dealt with a Hollow before...though it was not quite the way you would expect...
Kaze, on the other hand, said nothing. He was tired of arguing...and would let his mother explain. There was nothing he could really do now...except let his mother explain the rules of his so-called imprisonment...for while he wasn't to be locked within his home, he would be forced into willing allowance of observation. But, it was well enough, since he had at least one person who would follow him willingly...or so he thought.
"But," Sakura stated calmly, "You shall be reporting to me, as well as miss Musei. I shall be paying both of you-Neither of you will accept in many from my son. To do so would be bribery, and if either of you willingly accept any form of payment from him, I will dis-enroll you from service, and find someone else worthy enough. But...know this...I'm not paying you so you can quit. There will be consequences to willingly putting yourself in situations where you will be forced to resign...and none of them you will enjoy in the slightest." She figured she would state this so that Kaze wouldn't have any chance of tricking them into forced resignment, as they would be careful to avoid such things. She could see her son's brow furrowing at her words, and allowed herself a small smile...she was gaining the upper hand little by little. This was for his safety...He meant the world to her. And she hoped that both of these women would realize that, even if he never did.
"Oh, and one more thing...this being directed towards you, Kaze. You will not, at any time, force either of these women into a scandalous position with which you will extract sexual gratification from either, or both, of them. Is that clear?"
"Well, there goes my weekend," Kaze said, letting up on the noble form of speech for but a moment.
"What was that?" Sakura narrowed her eye's, looking at her son as if she would be ready to strike him at any moment.
"Understood, mother." Kaze allowed himself a small smile. There were still ways he could use this to make her life a living hell, like she was starting to make his such.

"I see." Kaela responded to Lady Ryū. She continued to finish her tea as she continued.
"Thank you for explaining. Tell me, does this violence use include use of force on Kaze? If, say he was the cause of the trouble am I permitted to knock him out?" She spoke calmly but she was trying to hide her smile. Probably thinking something devious. She was looking at Kaze through the corner of her eyes at the same time. What was this girl planning now?
Kaela took the tea cup to her head to finish its contents and then said one more thing to Lady Ryū: "I'm concerned about something Lady Ryū; the fact that both these people are armed with swords and I'm not. Do you really think I have a place doing such a job? Maybe they are the ones who should be protecting me."
She may have looked a bit jovial but Kaela was being serious. The job description was made clear to her but it also brought about questions: what if Kaze gets into a fight and swords are drawn? Situations like that puts me at a disadvantage. I can't stop swords with my bare hands. Why do both of them have zanpaktous anyway? They aren't even regular shinigami. Or do all the new recruits get swords before finishing the course now? I suppose if it comes to that then his other guardian. But she's so emotionless I wonder if she would just watch him die and not even blink. AHHHH! Where did I go wrong?

Karei merely finished off her own tea, and set the cup back down on the table infront of her. She didn't really have a Zanpaktou yet. Her katana may have looked like one, but it was just an heirloom passed down in her family. She never took it with her to the academy, and hid it away in her room when she went out. She merely brought the blade along to show she was qualified for the job. That she atleast had a weapon to fight with...
Her memories started to drift back to her family in rukongai before she pulled herself back to reality. She turned her eyes to Kaela, looking to her face. "If it comes to it, I will take the front and provide enough distraction so that you can attack from wherever you feel safest to attack from."

Lady Sakura sipped her tea, nodding. "Of course. And you will gain your Zanpaktou after graduating from the Academy. My son, believe it or not, has been the top in his studies, even if not the very top of his class. But soon it comes down to combat training-And that is where the heart of the Shinigami lies." She looked over to Kaze...was he really ready to fight against Soul Reapers, after all that had once happened to him?
Kaze sipped at his tea, seeming un-affected by this conversation...It seemed his part in this act of the play was over. It was time for the others to take over and explain how things were. He, however, was thinking of other things...clearly, Musei's sword was not a real Zanpaktou...it could have been a sword made within the Rukongai. The craftsmanship was exquisite...but he would comment upon it later. He took none of what she said to heart-not even when she brought up the fighting. He didn't care...tho it had been a long time since he'd fought a Hollow. He could block the memory of that day out at will now...but it would only be a matter of time before it would come back full force. Of course, he didn't know this...he was oblivious to the fact as he sipped his tea.
