The squad looks like an average squad barracks with average number of places to train but it looks like the captain added to the entrance gate. "Honor for the lost. Embrace the young." It's a personal motto, of the captain, one which he offers to all whom enter. The symbol for the 5th squad is the Lilly of the valley, same as it has been since ancient times, a symbol of sacrifice and pure love. On the training side of the barracks are spits of land designed through kidou to represent every type of condition imaginable for battle simulations. On the far side of the barracks is the garden and residence. The garden features a river with Convallaria majalis growing along the sides with a small sign saying. "Do not eat the flowers nor the berries." The flowering plant is mixes of red and white hanging flowers. All of which are poisonous, but pretty.

Jutaku walked up to the gate, carefully reading what it said. As he walked he surveyed the landscape, the small river, the different areas, it was peaceful. Taking a few steps in he walked over to a spot where he would not be in the way of anyone coming in. Standing there he closed his eyes and concentrated on his hearing, twitching his ears every so often to refine them. "Are you here?" he said to himself softly.

HayateHikari Division 11
Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." After a brief visit to the hospital, Hayate emerged looking his old self with a goofy grin on his face and a slight bounce in his step. After all, he had come so close to death that now he was simply happy to be alive. He had earned himself more time to live, and he was going to enjoy it. His first stop was the training grounds of the 5th squad, which he had heard looked spectacular. He was told to take it easy and not train, Hayate knew that he couldn't resist if someone offered it to him. He just couldn't fight at full capacity, especially with the tight bandages wrapped around his palms. The wounds weren't too severe, but he couldn't do much with his hands or risk re-opening the gashes.
He strolled past the residence halls and ended up in the gardens that he had heard so much about. It truly was a sight to behold for him, since Hayate's Squad did not have gardens. He loved seeing the hanging flowers, with all of their colors. It evoked a serenity that he hadn't felt for a long time. He sat down cross-legged next to the river and dipped his hands into it, letting the cool water soak his bandages as he stared at his reflection. He was completely silent, almost as though he were attempting to glimpse into his own soul and look this inner calm that the garden suddenly provided for him. "...that I'll keep giving you second chances."    Zanpakuto

Jutaku stayed still, concentrating on his sense of sound as he listen to the wind blow peacefully against the flowers, the water slowly running downstream, then he heard something, he heard a man walking. Jutaku kept listening, trying to hear the man's voice, as he heard him sit down, Jutaku opened his eyes. "Is that him?" he said to himself quietly as he walked towards the man.

HayateHikari Division 11
Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." Hayate's smile began to fade and was replaced with an expression of intense inflection. In his eyes...no, in his soul, he could see the moon surrounded by night...his old home, the rooftops...and, on the highest rooftop, a small black cat with a blue scarf contrasted the bright, pale moon. It seemed to be staring back at him with its big, red eyes. Hayate and this strange cat stared at each other before a stray splash of water on his face awoke him from his trance. He sighed and rubbed his temples, wincing and shaking his head. Once he ended the vision, he was struck with an explicable headache. He couldn't explain what he saw, but he felt an intense connection between himself and the cat. What was that? Maybe...I should reflect more often. Ah...my head... He thought with a slight frown.
As he massaged his head, he looked further down the river to find the source. Instead of the beginning of the river, he found the watery reflection of a man approaching him. Once he was within a few steps, Hayate decided to speak.
"It's amazing what you can see if you stare at yourself long enough, isn't it?" He asked him absently, letting his hands run back and forth slowly through the flowing water. "...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto

Jutaku stopped, "Yeah, it is, though I have found that one's eyes can always lie in various ways and reasons, but there are just some senses you can always trust," he said looking at the man. Looking the man over, he looked injured, as though having been in a fight, "Are you with this Squad?" he asked getting right to the point. It wasn't Jutaku's way, to get to the point, he was in an unknown environment, he wanted to learn more about it before he went along with his normal routine.

Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." "Of course there are senses you have to trust. If didn't trust your senses, it'd be rather difficult to get where we are now, wouldn't it?"
He said sarcastically with a chuckle, finally turning his gaze from the river onto him. He had a very curious look on his face, accented with a smile. His introduction may not have been the nicest, but he seemed harmless enough. He looked back down as he pulled his hands from the water and let the residual water drain from his hand before adjusting the wet bandages. They seemed to hold up pretty well against the water and its current. Then he looked back up at him with a the same curious look as before, but without the smile, attempting to study The man was an enigma. Hayate hadn't even seen him around when he made his usual rounds in the Soul Society. Then again, he didn't visit the 5th squad much...
"My name is Hayate Hikari, and I'm the Captain of Squad 11. So to answer your question, no. I don't belong here. But as far as I know, I don't need an invitation to sit here. Or have the rules changed recently?"
"...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto

Jutaku's face went straight, "Well to be honest I'm not to sure, I don't belong to this squad either," he said looking at Hayate. " And yes, but some senses are better for some then others. Sight is the sense that is the most cunning, making all feel its power without anyone realizing. Don't you agree?" Jutaku questioned, keeping his hand ready to grab his zanpaktou and a little ball he kept in a pocket.

Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." "I'd have to say so as well. Aside from hearing, sight is our most important sense. Keeps us aware of the world around us."
Hayate replied slowly, lacing his fingers behind his neck with a sigh. It had been a long day for the 11th squad Captain. It was slowly becoming physically draining for him to keep the conversation going while constantly resisting the urge to yawn rather loudly. If he could sleep out here, he would. The grass was certainly comfortable enough.
"Well if don't belong here, then who might you be? "...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto

"I'm Jutaku, from Squad Ten," He said while closing his eyes, listening to the surroundings. "Sound is the one sense I trust most," Jutaku started to trust this man more and more, trying to urge the captain to reveal more about himself. Wanting to add to his secret notes, Jutaku was wanting to figure out more about this mysteriously wise man.

Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." "Jutaku of Squad Ten...no wonder I've never seen you here. Well it's a pleasure to meet you. Your pressure...you're a numbered seat. 4th?"
Hayate said the man's name and rank slowly, letting it roll off of his tongue. Guessing one's seat was not exactly Hayate's speciality, but just because he did not utilize Kido did not mean he was not without a sense of his own. And the man's name...it wasn't the most interesting name that he had heard, but it was definitely out there. Plus, he had a personality to match it. He seemed quite, yet very intelligent. Wise beyond his age. It impressed Hayate to find another intellectual being within the shinigami ranks.He gave him a small, polite nod as a gesture of welcome before turning his attention to the skies.
"Don't get me wrong, sound is a very important sense, and I can only assume that because you advocate for it so much, you happen to have very keen hearing. I myself enjoy music when I get the chance to listen. But the two must work in harmony with each other. You can hear the wind blow, but you must watch the leaves to see where the wind blows. And one cannot hear the clouds, can they? Unless you're more talented than you seem. My point is that everything must work together, or everything will fail. It's almost scary how much that applies the Soul Society right now..."
"...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto

"You are close, I'm third seat. As you say, one cannot hear the clouds, that may be true that may not be true. One can only train for so long and so much as anything that seems impossible yesterday can be possible today. The thing that proves to be the most challenging is selecting what to hear as everything emits a noise to some degree. Even if it would be unheard to some and heard by others. To hear the clouds one must be able to hear the leaves rustle in the wind and be able to follow said movement. Training to the degree of hearing the clouds slowly move across the sky takes a lifetime of training, but a lifetime of training can end very suddenly leaving all that one dreamed to be destroyed. Although the real question is not if someone can do it, but will someone do it, will they take that challenge and achieve victory over the clouds," Jutaku kept his eyes closed as he told the Captain the truth. Though after saying it, he starts to think, is that really a good idea to tell something to a man who may one day use this to fight Jutaku. After a moment of silence, a leaf begins to between the two. With his eyes closed, he beings to follow the leaf with his finger, using his sense of hearing to allow the path to be followed.

HayateHikari Division 11
Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." "If your goal is to one day hone your hearing to the point that you can listen to the clouds move, then I support you one hundred percent Jutaku. I'd help you if I could.To be honest, I'm not even sure where to begin in terms of acquiring that sort of skill. But you sound like you do. And you also seem like you're doing it now. That's good. A third seat with high ambitions..."
He replied with a slight chuckle. It was true that with intense and lengthy training that one could achieve almost anything, but to hear the clouds...it was the stuff of dreams. Fantasies, even. He'd be forever in awe of someone that could finally tell him what the clouds sound like. After that, he went silent, going over their conversation in his head. A leaf floated between the two of them and he tracked it with his eyes, watching it as it made its journey from the tree to its unknown destination. But when it came close to landing in the water, Hayate plucked it from the air above the water, held in his palm before blowing on it. The small puff of air from the captain's lips propelled the leaf forward, allowing the wind to pick it up and carry it further away.
"Good bye and good luck, little leaf..." He murmured quietly. "...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto

Jutaku stopped following the leaf as the Captain plucked it from the air. "To be truthful, being able to hear the clouds would be an awesome ability, but it is not my true goal. My true goal is a little bit more complicated then that, though having the ability to hear the clouds would probably help, that is not my ultimate goal. Though it is easy to figure out, it is not to those unknowing," Jutaku said smiling, opening his silver eyes once agian.

Taicho "Don't assume that just because I'm nice..." "Not your ultimate goal you say...? Hm."
Hayate tapped his chin curiously, wondering about Jutaku's actual goal. It involved listening, that much he could understand. But what else could the man want? If Hayate knew more about him, he'd probably be able to deduce the goal almost immediately. But alas, the man was a stranger, as was his life story. Finally, his curiousity got the better of him and he brought his gaze back down to Jutaku.
"Okay, I give up. I tried to think of it, but I came up short. If you don't mind me prying into you a bit, just what is your ultimate goal, Jutaku?" "...that I'll keep giving you second chances." Zanpakuto
