[quote=Expllo] Kenta coughed into his hand, moving it he looked down seeing blood on his hand. Kenta thought as he wiped the rest of the blood from his mouth. During the year he had been working non-stop, and training, hardly had any time for sleep. His eyes had drooped a bit due to the lack of sleep and it was recently catching up to him. The stress of work, the stress of reaching his goal, the stress of covering for Hikari....It was all getting to him. He kept it hidden from Rio, and Captain Kuchiki, kept himself together around them. Squad four was the place he went to weekly so they could work on him, atleast stop him from dying from the fucking stress for a little bit. He stood up putting his pen down, being the Lieutenant....It was a place he never really wanted, or aimed for. He remembered the time back at dinner with Rio....Captain Kuchiki....Kuroda....Mieke....Expressing how much he didn't care for ranks, now look at where he was, pretty much risking his health for the position, atleast he took it seriously. He looked around, still more paperwork, after the trip to Squad four. Strapping his Zanpakuto around his chest he walked out the barracks and to Squad four, inside he tried keeping himself together, "It didn't last the whole week, I think it's getting worse," he said with a normal cough. [/quote] The western Gatekeeper was standing in front of the gate, doing his usual business. Then something caught his eye. A large dust cloud was approaching him and fast "What the" He said, scratching the top of his head. Lucy was running towards him, covered in a black cloak with a hood. She was running towards him and pointed upwards "Hey, look up!" The giant gatekeeper looked up, wondering what she was talking about. He looked up there for a good while, before he started to move his head down "I don't see anything" Lucy had jumped up over his head and was falling down towards the top. She landed and quickly jumped off his head, flying over the gates of the Seireitei. As she reached the barrier, she covered her body in a barrier as well, closing her eyes and concentrating. She phased through it, forming a blue disk as she passed it and sitting on it. She sniffed the air and began to fly on the disk "Now, where is he" While she was flying passed Squad 4, she sensed a spirit in turmoil "...I can't just leave that person" She said, rubbing the back of her head. She stopped the disk, floating over Squad 4 barracks. She jumped off the disk, a gust of wind rising as she landed. She softly landed on the ground and walked towards the aching soul. She walked up to him, her hood over her head. "You're trying to take on too much" She said as she grabbed his chin and turned his head to the left and right then stared in his eyes with her eyes glimmering. She let go and began to move her palm towards his forehead "If you keep this up, you'll end up going insane and never accomplish your goals"
