[quote=Axel] Kirishin quickly pulled back both sides of Viole's robe, revealing his chest before placing both palms on it. Many of the Shinigami gathered around the Captain with dreary eyes and cries but it was far from over. Hope was not gone until every single spec of Reiatsu had disappeared from his body. His hands began emitting green Reiatsu as his face turned from sad to happy. "Looks like there's still a chance but I'm going to need a couple of things I can't do alone. Hand me a warm towel, a gauze roll to seal up his injuries and finally a nice soft stretcher. And make sure to do this quick because we're short on time!" Kiri said with a bit of urgency in his voice as some went off to get the requested items while the rest were a bit skeptical but decided to play along.Kirishin acted as if everything was going to be all right despite there being no chance he'd recover but he couldn't let there spirits drift away. The Captain worked his bone off to invigorate these warriors and he'll be damned if those dreams died with him. Kiri slightly lifted Viole's head up before slowly placing it back down while trying to console him without no one knowing the truth. "Rest Captain, you'll need it if you wish to regain your strength back. We'll take over from here until you awaken, you've done more than enough already." He said softly as the Shinigami returned with the requested items. Kirishin took the Gauze roll and began sealing up Viole's injuries with a smile on his face. "It was a close call but he's good at the moment. The best we can do is to continue to do what he taught us so we can surprise him when he awakens. It's all up to him now and I'm going to need some help place him on this stretcher. Don't forget to be gentle with him, one little mess up and his condition is going to worsen." Kiri noted, grabbing on the upper end of the Captain's body while three of the other Shinigami grabbed on the other end before picking Viole up and placing him on the stretcher. After they managed to place him on the stretcher, they rolled him into a special place in the medical bay, which was reserved for Captains only.He hoped that those already figured out already would continue to keep their mouth's shut as someone caught his attention. "Hey I don't know what you're whining about over there but cheer up." Kirishin said, walking before eventually stopping in front of the man who had a girl with blonde hair patting his head. He bent down to get a good look at the man's face while forcing his cheery face to reappear. "Strength doesn't just come from the amount of spiritual pressure one possesses you know. The will, courage, bravery, and love for his people was what pushed Viole forward along with that strength of his. If you're one of his friends then you should know that by being loyal to him was all the strength one could give to another. I might not be my Captain but I know he wouldn't appreciate you weeping while you could be ensuring that his sacrifices wasn't in vain." Kiri soon raised his head up, turning in the opposite direction with a smile. [/quote] [quote=DeathstrokeSW] Kenny was once again dressed in his Shihakushō and his hands were once again concealed beneath the cloth. His black burlap hood was still there and his half-mask was back in place. Having cleaned himself of the dirt and grime, he walked out of Seventh Division's barracks, sensing Gio's presence and was quietly surprised when Gio was not there. He spread his awareness and found Gio at Tenth Division. He started to head that way when he felt the crowd gathering at Fourth Division. The sadness was o'erwhelming.He started to recite "O Captain, My Captain" to himself, and walked calmly towards the crowd. What surprised him was his old friend, whose wrappings now sported Eleventh Division's insignia on both the chest and back. It was clear he wasn't a captain, but his pride in his squad showed. The size of the two sigils were equal, taking up enough space to be huge, without being ridiculous. "Hello Kaien. It's been a long time. Sad that it's under these circumstances, no?" Kaien looked at him and nodded. "Hn. Excuse me, Kakashi."Kaien literally shoved and punched his way through the crowd, finding his way to Captain Viole. Ignoring the looks people gave him, Kaien picked up Viole's fallen Zanpakutō and laid it on his chest, folding the hands onto the hilt. He knelt there and murmured a prayer befitting a swordsman. Saying another prayer, this one for the sword, he turned to the ones closest to Viole. "I do not know this captain; I have not been here long. My name is Kaien Zaraki, of Eleventh Division. I am sorry for the crippling of what obviously was a good man. Rest assured, however, that you have my assistance whenever possible. " [/quote] Shoske laughed, raising his head and looking at the man who spoke about Viole. "You're right. I can't just sit here" He stood up "I can't waste time mourning. It isn't what he would want of us" Shoske raised his fist and tightened it, blood coming out of the wound. He held his fist out "I promise you, I will avenge you" He said as the blood dropped on the ground, in respect to Viole. He turned his body as Kiri also began to walk away "When the day comes, I'll be sure to let you know" He turned to Lahel and Nir "Lets go" Nir nodded and followed him while Lahel stayed back, watching the group of men taking Viole's body away. She turned to Shoske "I-I'll be right back, there's something I have to check on" She said as she ran away. Shoske nodded and kept on walking, stopping before a man named Kaien "Kaien huh, that name brings back memories" Shoske said as his scars ached. "If you want to avenge him, get stronger. Train until your body collapses. Because in our current state, we can't avenge him...see you in Squad 11" Shoske said, as he walked away with Nir following him.
