Welcome to Gaia! ::

(You didn't think we spent ALL our times in the labs, did you?)
Rules;
⒈ → Please do not fight here...and if you do, make sure to clean up after yourself.
2. → ...actually, there is no second rule. Excuse me.

The black hair taichou entered the garden. Left hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto, and right right behind his back, he struts slowly across the gardens, muttering to himself. Why he came early in the morning, he doesn't know. Prehaps he just lost time in the workshop. His finger was still swollen from hitting it, and that made him stop and come visit the Squad 12's labratorys. He was always interested in their work.

Tapping his hilt, he noticed a girl with a shogi board. He wondered why she was alone with a game. Seeing her loneliness, he spoke up, "Hey why are ya alone?" He asked the girl, who he assumed was the lieutenant. There was still a spot of soot on his face, which he licked his finger and wiped it off. Looking around now, he didn't see many others. "And a better question is why are you up so early?"

She got to the point, with few words. He liked that about people. If they had to drag on sentences in every conversation, life would be boring. 'I could ask you the same' she said to him. Alex rolled his eyes and looked at his injured finger. "These times..." He said, not making any sense. His thoughts rumbled from the Kitsunes, to his work, to the saftey of the Soul Society.

Shaking his head from his rambled thoughts, he looked down at her. She had black as well, and blue eyes. Her blue eyes looked up at him brightly, probally the brightest thing in this hour. He sighed and said, "Name a taichou who acutally sleeps for nine hours" He said with a laugh. There was always work to do. Training, paper work, metalshop, scouting. "I acutally decided to come visit your taichou, I think i've done enough damage to my own Squad" He laughed, showing his brightly bruised hand.

Sanjo laughed. "Akibara is stil asleep. Lucky dog. I forget if he was at the meeting or not.." He said the last part in a mutter to himself. Truth was, the Kitsunes worried him. Sleep hardly came to those who worry. He really just needed to keep himself busy. Besides, he thought to himself, I am not even tired!

As if some kind of bad cosmic joke, he yawned. A bright light pierced his vision, and in that split second, it hurt his eyes. Looking over now, he saw the sun was rising. Hearing her say 'Shouldn't you see someone from Division Four then?' brought the smile back to his face. She asked the 'What happened thought?' He stared at his hand. "I got carried away in my work again" He said, noting that this has happened before and also refering that the 'work' he is talking about is metal-working. It is a favored past time in the 9th Divion barracks.

Sanjo's faced turned serious for the moment. "I just came to talk to Akibara-taichou" He said, putting Akibara's rank in there. Normally he doesn't do that, unless its something serious. A grin reappeared on his face. "Well it's no bother really, i'll just come back later." He said, and his eyes darted to the game board, then back to Rue's eyes. "Maybe later I can play with you, so your not so alone?" He offered her, needing a break from his metalwork at any rate. His men were probally still asleep, and just incase the are not, he left the workshop unlocked. He figured they would survive a few hours without him.
