Right next to the school facilites, an enlosed grove of cherry trees grows. The trees are planted carefully so that no sound can protrude into the deep calm of the garden. In the centre, there is a small pond with various species of goldfish swimming in it under the enourmous waterlily leaves. White polished stones are placed around, shaped that way that they are surprisingly comfortable to sit on. Narrow paths of white pebbles lead to the centre and criss-cross over the grove. From time to time, a simple wooden bench is placed under a tree, for a tired student to stop and admire the beauty and grace of the cherry blossoms.

Stepping quietly along the garden path, Tsubame raised a hand to push her bangs away from her face and chuckled when a windy play of cherry blossom petals tickled across her face. Dressed in lavender finery, her white chrysanthemum embroidered sleeves shivered in the warm autumn breeze. Dropping her hand, Tsubame's mottled eyes tracked up to the blossom laden branches and was thrilled to have found a place where the sakura trees bloomed more than once a year. The wonders of the Seireitei would never cease to amaze her, and she slipped further into the garden, drawn by the falling petals and the tiny twitter of birds.
Rounding a corner heavily covered by a dark green creeping vine, Tsubame stumbled upon a clearing and was utterly delighted. Shuffling forward as quickly as her leg confining clothing would allow, she bent at the edge of the elegantly presented koi pond, fondly peering into the watery depths. There were just to many sights she hadn't been privy to, and now with the days winding down until the beginning of classes, Tsubame was determined to enjoy the serenity of her surroundings before the real work started. Balancing percaroiusly on her high geta, a tiny smile graced her lips as the koi sluggishly made there way under each splendid waterlily and the tiny wakes of their fins breaking the waters surface. She could spend hours watching them and this was the perfect opportunity.

Walking with his sandals lightly tipping there ways closer to the school, the boy carried on the sandals was named Ryou, which meant spirit. The trees he began to come closer to where in full bloom. The petals rained down like in any classic samurai movie or anime scene. He was in a ordinary happi tied loosely with a sash and the hakama hung to him. The top he wore was dark blue with a white design of his family crest one it as the hakama was plain blue. He could see he was near the school but was not sure where the entrance was. Maybe it was down the grove of the sakura. Ryou choose to continue on down the grove.
There was a clearing Where an other was. This girl was looking at the pond when he first saw her. Maybe she knew how to get to the seireitei. " um... excuse me." Ryou spoke in a friendly cheery tone. " I'm sorry to bother you since you looked so at peace but I was wondering if you knew the way to the entrance of the Seireitei academy?" Ryou asked the girl.

"I don't know why you'd want to go there." Came a gentle reply as Tsubame's attention was sucked away from her current interest, "Classes don't begin for a few days and I doubt that the building is unlocked yet, other than perhaps for the dormitories." Stretching upwards from her crouch, she turned and took in the direction of her questioner and gave a critical eye to his clothing before actually letting her eyes drift up to his face. "Though, if you'd like to go there than heading straight from the other side of the pond down the second path to the right should take you there." Pointing calmly in the direction she'd indicated, Tsubame offered him a coy smile.
Stepping away from the ponds edge, she shuffled back across the thin lining of decomposed granite. "I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but let me introduce myself. My name is Takanashi Tsubame, I'll be attending the Academy this coming school year." Formally bowing with the grace taught to her by years of dealing with aristocrats, "It's good to meet you."

" ah yes it is quite rude of me not to introduce myself. " He said with a smile " My name is Tenjou, Ryou. It is a pleasure to meet you." He spoke lightly. Ryou gave a sigh. the school wasn't open, well great. Ryou like to be punctual but it was definitely overdone this time. "So it's closed." Ryou spoke holding his bag over his shoulder. " I guess that makes seance..." he took a seat and looked at the pond. "So we'll be classmates right?" Ryou asked just to start a small conversation. Just something to do at the time being. There was no harm to be done.
Even at a young age Ryou was very tall. His height trews off many on the mind frame this boy had he may look like he was eighteen or nineteen but he was only held a mind of a fifteen year old. Being as young as he was entering the souls society he grew fast in the year he was there. Ryou pushed back his untidy hair so it would stay out of his face fore a little while. His eyes staring into the waters.

"From what I understand we have to complete each of the courses offered, so I would say we'll end up in the same class at some point." Brushing her bangs away from her face yet again as the breeze picked up, Tsubame took a seat near Ryou. Since he'd said his name she had ran through the lists of families she knew of. "Hmm...Tenjou, 'heavenly castle'...has your family ever worked in the aristocratic quarters of the Seireitei?" Looking at him with her peripheral vision, a skill she'd picked up to keep from receiving punishment from staring, Tsubame sized him up. If they were of similar age than he was tall for his age, but tall was relative to her. Tsubame had been at 4'10" for the past six years and doubted that she'd grow anymore.

Ryou smiled " I guess that would be right. Well I suppose that we will have a class sometime together. " He spoke lightly. He looked back at her " A lot of them has work here..." Ryou spoke "Not sure about where they worked... it is a good possibility." he spoke knowing the family was a big family since they took in many orphans from the streets, like him, so there was a good possibility that one of them work in that part of the Seireitei. he looked back too the trees as the petals still fell from the trees but none of the blossoms seemed to miss a single petal. "I'll probably meet up with plenty of them soon... after I'm done with the courses they may find me." Ryou spoke full of optimism.

"I see," slowly standing she edged away from Ryou, "a large family than." Smiling demurely at his optimistic tone, Tsubame dipped into another formal bow, her long tied hair slipping over her shoulder. Standing upright again with that same fluid grace, her head tilted to the side as she began to turn away. "It really has been good meeting you Tenjou-san, but I think I'll continue exploring the grounds." Walking away she skirted round the koi pond and headed for the path she'd mentioned would lead to the main gates. Before disappearing behind the lush greenery, she turned back to Ryou. "You may join me if you'd like." With that she continued forward into a flurry of breeze blown petals, her hair dancing in time with their silent fall to the earth.

Ryou looked of her and she offed to for him to join her and Ryou never liked much to be alone. " Tsubame-san right?" he asked to make sure that he got her name right. " I would like to come along it would be good to know the area a bit better." He quickly caught up to here and headed to where ever she was planing to go. Ryou thought a bit "Why are you going to the academy?" Ryou asked just wondering why she would go to the school. Ryou knew he wanted, to protect his family above all and his friends along the way.

*Shido came to the grove.He sat under a tree and started to read,when he then noticed that a group of girls had followed him.He remember during his life that this exact same problem happened,but wasn't sure about the rest.He didn't even know they followed him.He paid them no attention while they admired him.*

Ryoma found his way to the grove, looking around in both wonder and awe. "How beautiful.....if only this was the world of the living, then I would enjoy it more, but hey, gotta enjoy it while it all lasts I suppose" He muttered to himself, he seemed to do that a lot as if talking to someone else, maybe in his mind?
