[IC] Bleach: A New Dawn

[Zane620]

Yu stood there silent at his simple answer, but shrugged, and said. "Thank you very much, my name is Yu Amagi by the way. So follow me, and I will lead you too the Head Captain." Yu stood there for a bit to make sure he understood, Yu then started to shunpo back towards the Squad one barracks, hoping that the man was able to keep up. He did look like he would snap rather easily, but he had a Shinigami uniform, so he had to be more durable than he looked. Yu then halted in front of the building, and waited for the man to catch up.

Rio listened intently to what Kaizo had to say, it was always refreshing to see someone express so much enthusiasm for achieving their goal, nowadays people were so secretive about it. She let out a small giggle when Kaizo apologised for going off on one. She smiled a little wider and continued to listen to the rest of what Kaizo had to say. After hearing his answer, she felt a little bad for asking about where he came from as it must of brought up some bad memories for him... Rio rubbed the back of her neck, trying not to come across as stupid as she wasn't entirely sure on what each squad does... Perhaps she should research it. She then listened to Kaizo introduce himself and heard him give off a nervous laugh. Rio's smile turned into a cheerful one as she really didn't want him to feel bad. [b]"Oh, don't worry about being nosy, I don't mind, you can ask whatever you feel like and I'll be honest. I'm in squad 6, 7th seat actually. So, do you have anywhere to stay? Or do you stay here?" Rio lifted an inquisitive eyebrow.

Kaizo looked around a bit then looked at Rio although not quite in the eyes, it was just off to the left...for some reason he couldn't look her in the eyes "Well...I don't know...I guess I feel this hut somewhat resembles me...it's weak and on the verge of breaking but with enough time and effort it will become strong again and maybe grow into something amazing and that really is also my plan for myself..." Kaizo then heard Rio apologize for asking about where he came from "Oh no it's fine don't worry...you weren't to know...it's just one of those things...and well I hope I'll become strong...I don't know if I have what it takes...I feel like I've come so far yet got nowhere at the same time but nothing is instant...and Squad 6?...I see...I do like how they do things but for me personally I don't think I'd fit in there...I prefer to give the criminals real punishment as opposed to locking them up for a long time...which is fine it works in some cases but in the extreme cases I feel it isn't enough...that's...kinda why I was going to try join Squad 2...it seems to suit me somewhat...but I am not strong enough right now to join...at least I don't think I am." Kaizo then rubbed the back of his head and looked down at the ground for a few seconds then looked back up at Rio "Oh you did? well...it's a lovely name...a unique one to...I have never heard of it" Kaizo smiled a little as he said that but the smile soon faded "Well it's kinda nice to share...especially when someone like me never could do that..." Kaizo's eyes widened a tad when he heard her say she was a seventh seat "Wow you're a seventh seat? that means you must be pretty strong then right? but...well...as for a place to stay..." Kaizo looked around the hut then back at Rio "this is the only place I have at the moment so...I guess it will have to do" Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and looked around the hut a bit more...it would indeed be tough for awhile but he'd fix this place up into something nice once he got into a Squad and started to earn some real good money...

Ryuu looked at the Shinigami who revealed his name to be Yu...a simple name...then again who was he to even think of anything to complain about? all he gave was simple answers but during his thoughts he noticed Yu shunpo off to Squad 1 "Hmm..." Ryuu shunpoed behind but how he did it was somewhat different, everytime he'd appear even for a second he would appear as if he was just standing in place rather than in a running position and it took him very little time to reach where Yu was which may or may not surprise him seeing as Ryuu did look very feeble but this was just looks...he was indeed quite powerful

[Zane620]

Yu didn't have to wait long before Ryuu had appeared next to him, Yu was somewhat surprised at this, he looked like he would turn into dust from any simple movement, yet he was doing fine. To Yu, Ryuu was the perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover. Yu then nodded at him, and said. "While I'm sure the Head Captain knows we are here, he probably wants us to go to him." Yu said to him as he motioned him to follow him. He led Ryuu the same way, that Yu himself was led before, and came upon the Captains door. He knocked and said who he was, and after being given permission, he opened the door, and walked in, and motioned for Ryuu to come in as well.

Ryuu looked at Yu as he arrived then followed him inside and then through Squad 1 until they reached the Head Captains office then he waited outside until he was told to enter and once he was told to do so he entered and stood next to Yu and looked at the Head Captain sitting behind his desk

Shinji saw the person Yu had found and his eyes widened a little when he saw him "Well...that was fast..." Shinji wanted to crack a joke about Yu being a grave digger and perhaps digging this guy up but regardless this guy could stand so he must be able to fight so Shinji saw no issues with this. "Well...to the mission. We are going to start off simple but still it could be somewhat difficult...depends on how you look at it...you have a certain hollow to kill which has been gaining more and more notoriety over the past few days and we need it gone...every town it goes to it brings with it a large amount of other hollow and in mere minutes they can destroy an entire town so expect to fight a lot...you are to exit the Seireitei from the south and keep heading that way until you eventually hit what appears to be somewhat of a dull looking forest...almost dead looking..." Another joke Shinji wanted to make popped up but he couldn't say it "Now the hollow has 3 large horns on the top of it's mask...this is what distinguishes it from the others so that is the one you need to kill...now unless you have a problem with this mission I suggest you go immediately"

[Zane620]

Yu listened to the details of the mission, and hearing that it was killing more Hollows. Yu assumed that the Head Captain would want these purified too, so he didn't bother ask if he should do that. Yet he didn't really have any question, the details all seemed to be there. All they had to be wary of was all the hollows this one seemingly brings with it, he also made sure to remember that the hollow they needed to kill had three horns on the top of its mask. Everything seemed clear to him, so he nodded at the Head Captain, and looked at Ryuu. "I'm ready when you are." Yu then started walking towards the door, then halted at the door, in case Ryuu wanted to ask something himself.

Ryuu waited until the explanation had finished and it was all straight forward...and good also...Ryuu was starting to get hungry so this was all quite a bit of luck for him. Yu had walked past him and stood at the door but Ryuu continued to look at the Head Captain for a few seconds before turning and walking up to Yu and speaking in his emotionless tone once again "Ready..." Ryuu was hoping that there were a lot of hollow there because he wanted to eat...a lot...luckily for Yu he only had a taste for hollow flesh...it was what he had to eat to keep him going...

Rio noticed that Kaizo wasn't looking her in the eye during their talk so to make it easier for him, she looked away and looked down as she listened, only looking up at him when she was answering his questions. "Well, that sounds pretty good. One day both you and the hut will become incredibly strong, well mainly you, no doubt about that." She looked at him as she spoke but then moved her eyes to the floor. "You do have what it takes, I can feel it... Just believe in yourself... That may sound cliché but honestly, you really should... but that is true, nothing is instant. Well, that's reasonable enough, just go with whatever squad you feel is best for you and would help you the most. And don't worry about your current strength, you have immense potential so that'll increase with training and guidance from the right people, as well as perseverance." Rio held her smile but continued to look down. She was quite an observant person, so she'd always pay closer attention to other's, especially those that interested her. A soft chuckle left her lips when Kaizo complimented her name. "Well, thank you... It's better than nothing I suppose" Rio shrugged and looked up just in time to catch Kaizo's smile. "Well, now you can, you can share with me" She smiled and continued to even when his had faded. Rio then close her eyes and smirked. "I'm not as strong as you think... Physical strength definitely isn't my main attribute. However, that doesn't mean I can't fight and win, I have other strengths on my side that help me win" She watched Kaizo's eyes scan the hut as he answered her question... The exact answer she was hoping not to get. "No..." Her face turned stern as she looked him dead in the eye. "I refuse to let you sleep here... It's not safe or warm enough... Atleast not yet anyway. But...." Her mind began to wonder as she thought about the possibility of allowing him to stay with her... She didn't think that was allowed, but she couldn't leave him like this.... "Atleast let me bring you a futon and some blankets.... You can come back with me if you need anything like food or clothing or whatever and spend the rest of your time here... But until you're safe, I'll try and help you as much as I can" Rio spoke with seriousness but a hint of softness as she didn't want to come on too strong.... She just wouldn't be able to leave him alone here without anything...

[Zane620]

Yu looked at Ryuu who gave him a simple answer again, although that made things quicker, it also made the atmosphere more awkward in a way, but Yu didn't mind it that much. He assumed that this man simply liked getting work done fast. So he nodded at Ryuu, and left the Captains room, then walked through the hallways again, until he was outside, Yu then waited for Ryuu to exit the building as well, before he started shunpoing south, like the Captains instructions said to do. [i]Keep heading south until we reach, this dead looking forest.[i] Yu thought wondering why the Head Captain looked like he was resisting laughing, when he said that.

Kaizo nodded at what Rio said then spoke "Well I hope so...I do really want to get strong...no...I need to get strong...there is no other way to look at it...and I want to believe in myself but I can't help but feel so weak sometimes...especially when it seems like everyone else around me is getting stronger and further than I am even though I spend almost all my time training!...it's frustrating...but I know it will take time...and patience...two things I'll have to learn. Well Squad 2 should be able to help me but right now I have no one else to help me...I feel weak asking for help but it may be the only way forward..." Kaizo did have a thought about asking Rio for help but he couldn't...he just met her..."You're welcome and it will finally be nice to share with someone...well to be a Seventh seat you have to be strong so your Captain must easily be able to see your potential..." Kaizo then looked at Rio and then his eyes widened at what she said and he looked away and rubbed the back of his head "N-no I couldn't...I mean it's a nice offer but I don't want to impose or anything or get you into trouble for...basically taking in some homeless guy and plus you just met me so that will make it weird for you...Don't get me wrong it sounds amazing and would for sure be nicer than sleeping here but I would just feel a little wrong and I wouldn't want to put you out of your way" This was awkward for Kaizo and he wasn't really sure what to do right now...he didn't want to hurt her feelings by turning her offer down but he didn't want to be a pain and get in the way by going with her

Ryuu followed Yu by shunpoing behind him and continued to do so until they reached the dead looking forest and once there he instantly got a nice vibe from it...maybe cause he looked like he was undead? who knows it was just a nice atmosphere for him so he'd defiantly be in his element here but once they were outside the forest Ryuu began to sniff a little and this made his eyes glow a little and simply by sniffing he was capable of locating nearly every hollow in this forest...he was well aware of their presence and all their locations "Over 45..."...He was referring to the number of hollow he could detect...but realizing this could confuse Yu he spoke once more "Hollow that is..."...Ryuu placed his hand on his Zanpakuto's hilt then unsheathed it and began walking into the forest unable to wait any longer

[Zane620]

Arriving at the forest, it looked just like the Head Captain said, a dead looking place, so now all they had to do was find this one Hollow, and it was a mission complete, steeping into the forest, Yu felt a little unease, as everything here reminded him of death. He then heard Ryuu say forty five, which caused Yu to look at him, but Ryuu then added Hollows to that, and Yu then looked less confused but was still skeptical. "Really? Not sure how you can tell that, but i'm sure you have your ways." Yu then realized that he was talking to no one, and Ryuu was already walking off, so Yu shrugged and ran to catch up to him. Not sure how he knows, but he most likely heading towards the hollows, so following him would be best. Yu though as he looked around to make sure no Hollows tried a sneak attack.

Gio Blinked to avoid showing his annoyance but he wasnt about to argue with the man. he shrugged his shoulders "no idea what your talking about. your the only person ive met to say anything about that branch. when i asked about it in the academy i didnt get any answers other than 'they pick you, you don't pick them'...and they didn't pick me" he shrugged his shoulders again. that much was the truth at least. however he found it hard to believe that Captain Viole was once affiliated with the Kido corps. it didnt ring as 'fair' that such a mysterious man had such an extensive resume. Next thing he would be telling Gio was that he fought the head captain and lived. Maybe he was just trying to sell himself. what ever the reason, be it truth or for show, Gio would deny everything until instructed otherwise.

Viole nodded, understanding that the Kido Corps had certain requirements and rules. Some which he didn't always go by, like now. "Well thats a shame, but its not the end of the world. There are plenty of other ways of learning Kido" Viole said with a smile, playing along. "Also, I have a question...what is a academy?" Viole asked, thoroughly interested. From what he's learned, this word is foreign to him.

Ryuu continued to walk into the forest going deeper and deeper into it (Gigigity) He suddenly stopped then looked around "3 to right......2 left..." Ryuu then walked off to the right and then slashed towards a tree to his right just as a hollow jumped out, his blade cut straight through it's mask and caused it to die instantly, he then thrusted his Zanpakuto infront of him and stabbed a hollow straight through the mask then pulled the Zanpakuto out and pointed to his left with his left hand and fired a hado 4 from his index and middle finger, the hado 4 shot through the last remaining hollows mask causing it to die instantly. Ryuu then turned around and headed back to where roughly he was as not to get entirely split from Yu

[Zane620]

As they continued walking, Ryuu said three to the right, and two to the left, Ryuu then walked off towards the right, leaving Yu with the left. Yu walked a bit to the Left, and saw a White body behind a tree, so Yu shunpoed behind the body, and slashed through it's mask, while the other one dropped down from below, but after fighting the Hollows in the room, this was all predictable to him, as he jumped to the right causing the Hollow to hit the ground, and Yu took the opportunity and thrust his zanpakuto through it's mask, and pulled out his sword, heading back to the spot seeing Ryuu there waiting for him. "So you can tell where they all are? Thats quite a useful trick."

"You will get stronger, I assure you, you will. And I know how you feel with that... I hate asking for help too, but sometime's it's more beneficial to ask than not to... You have to take every opportunity you get if you really plan on becoming the strongest you can be... The only reason why I chose to be in squad 6 was because I wanted the Captain, Kuchiki, to become my Sensei... Without him, I wouldn't of gained my weapon's Shikai form.... So sometimes, asking for help is necessary" Rio looked back down; speaking from experience to try and prove a point to Kaizo. "No problem, I wouldn't mind sharing a little bit too... Perhaps it'd be good for me to let out some of my thoughts... And well, I guess that may be true, but I still have a long way to go before I could ever measure up to my friend Kenta, or even to the Captain Kuchiki himself..." She pulled her legs up so that she could rest her chin onto her knees and look at Kaizo's reaction. She did have to admit, it was a little too much since she only just met the guy but Rio didn't care... She was too caring for her own good. Letting out a sigh, she looked to the floor. "I won't leave you here alone Kaizo... I know we've only just met, but you haven't given me a reason not to help... I could atleast try and help you quickly patch up the hut and bring in a few things to make it a little more liveable, just for now...." Rio looked away as she chuckled softly. "It wouldn't be weird for me since I don't really know what weird is" She then returned her eyes to the floor. "You know... In a way I could relate to you... I have no one, well, no family or even memories.... All of my memories from before I graduated the academy are gone. I don't know who my parents are, or even if I still have parents.... I don't know my name, I don't know where I came from, or even the person I'm meant to be... My earliest memory was of parts of my graduation and entering the Seireitei... But I could of easily ended up in a place like this, abandoned and forgotten, like this hut probably, but I didn't because some how I found myself ending up in somewhere safe. My friends are like my family now and that consists of one person... I'm not trying to harm you in any way, what reason would I have to do that? I'm also a part of a squad in the Seireitei and our job is to help and protect people, well, souls, is it not? And from what I've seen, you're a person right? So it's only natural that I'd want to do everything in my power to help you" Rio then turned her head to look at Kaizo. "If you don't want to come back with me, then I'll respect your wishes, but I'll just come to you and help you out... Sometimes help is necessary... How can you focus on getting stronger and improving your abilities if you're struggling to look after yourself?" She wasn't trying to come across as rude or anything but Rio couldn't help but be blunt... She also felt that if she wanted Kaizo to trust her, she'd have to be honest and give him a reason to.

Ryuu waited where he was until Yu came back then he listened to Yu ask how he knew where they all were "Smell..." It wasn't a long answer but still "Spiritual energy...I can smell it..." It didn't matter if Yu thought he was weird cause he really didn't care "Only hollows though..." Ryuu then looked off to his right then looked to the left..."Make a pincer movement..." Ryuu began walking to the right and would plan to slowly arch around and meet back up with Yu...doing this would take out most of the hollows but also lure a lot out from hiding making their job easier and also making them look better once they completed the mission

Yu listened to Ryuu's short but good enough explanation on how he knows where they are. "Well that's quite useful, I have to go based off instinct to fight them." Yu said, and when Ryuu then said to make a pincer movement, he nodded and started to move towards the left. He didn't have a reason to not listen to Ryuu, his looks make seems sketchy, but he has been very helpful, despite what other may have thought of him. Yu made sure to look around to seeing if he could spot any Hollows attempting ambush him, and so far he was in the clear. Maybe Ryuu picked the side that would lead to most of them, like he did last time.

"You do have a point...I will try do that from now on...guess it takes more than just constant training to get stronger..." Kaizo listened to Rio talk more then replied "Well I will gladly listen...I have no problems with that...I don't really have answers but still if it helps you it's better than doing nothing and anyway I'm sure you will do well and become a great Shinigami....if a Captain will personally train you then that must mean you have something special" Kaizo rubbed the back of his head and continued to look away "It's okay...it will take time to fix this place up and really I want to do it myself so I can truly feel proud of something I managed to make or...rebuild...no offence...just how I am.." he realized this sort of left him with only one option and seeing Rio rest her head on her knee's he couldn't help but feel bad...she must have been getting cold and must have felt bad for him and although he didn't want to really do what he was going to do he felt he had no choice...he didn't want to hurt her feelings..."Well...guess those are a few things we have in common...they aren't the sort of things you celebrate but still...they're something...and I know you're not trying to harm me don't worry..so if it's okay and not any trouble for you I will come back with you if you want...I will try get this place into a state where I can live in it without you worrying as soon as possible so I don't overstay my welcome but when it is in good shape you will be more than welcome to visit and even stay here if you need to get away from everything...I don't mind...it would be the least I could do to repay you taking me in for a bit..." Kaizo looked up at Rio and looked her in the eyes for a few seconds before looking up at the roof..."thank you for the help...I have a feeling that I will finally be able to get somewhere starting from now...and I will never forget you for this as you would have been the first person to help me making you an already important person to me..."

"Good. I'm not saying that you should take unneeded help, that's the lazy way out, only take it when you feel it's completely necessary" Rio smiled a little and looked at Kaizo as he continued to talk. "And I'll listen to you.... Thank you... I'm glad you think so... It really does mean a lot" She averted her eyes back to the floor and chuckled softly again. "None taken. I know that you want to fix it up by yourself, then it'd be a true depiction of your self improvement. That's why I said for now, as a temporary type of thing" She rested her chin back onto her knees and kept her ears open, continuing to listen to Kaizo. As Rio continued to listen, her eyes slowly widened while she turned her face to look at him. "Of course it wouldn't be any trouble. In fact, it would be nice to have someone around... It can get pretty lonely at times... B-But don't worry, I'm not the clingy type so you'll be able to do what you want, I just want to make sure that you're taken care of so you can focus... You'll be welcome to come stay with me any time you need to for as long as you want" A bright smile light up Rio's face and her eyes softened during the few seconds Kaizo held eye-contact. "I wouldn't mind visiting you often when you've fixed up this place, it'd be nice to see how you get on" The last thing Kaizo said cause Rio to look away, unable to stop smiling as a warm feeling sparked inside her heart. "... Please make sure you don't... And that's wonderful to hear... So, shall we get going once the rain has stopped?" It's not that Rio was eager to get out of the place, she was starting to like it here.... But it was too damn cold and if she was freezing, who know's how a shirtless Kaizo was feeling... Rio then stood and picked up Kaizo's top, straightening it out and wiping all the dust off of it before handing it back to Kaizo. "Put this back on, it's too cold to be shirtless"
