[quote=Kurisa] The Squad 1 Shinigami brought the Soul he found outside the gates to the Squad 1 barracks and after a maze like field only to end up in a large hallway they came to the doors of the Head Captains office. The Shinigami knocked on the door and asked if he may enter and once granted access he opened the doors then walked in escorting the Soul alongside him, he then stood in the middle of the room facing towards the Head Captains desk then got down on one knee, placed his left forearm across his stomach, then placed his fist on the ground and bowed his head before speaking "Head Captain. I apologize for disturbing you however I could think of no better man to bring this Soul to than yourself. This Soul here wishes to join the Gotei 13 but they did not follow the traditional methods of trying to enter the Shino Academy...I brought him to you thinking you would know what to do better than I in this situation...as you can see I took precautions...however the Soul seems as if he can be trusted...but that is something I truly would rather have you decide Head Captain" The Shinigami remained in the position he first entered as he awaited the Head Captains response " The Shinigami looked up to the Head Captain then bowed his head once more "Thank you Head Captain" The Shinigami then stood up and left the office leaving only the Soul and The Head Captain, The Head Captain stood up from his desk then walked around it and towards the Soul then he extended his right hand to the Kido cuffs and dispelled them "" The questions The Head Captain asked were really pretty simple...he didn't ask background questions or anything of the kind as most people that joined the Gotei had some shady sort of background...at the end of the day the original Gotei 13 were no more than Criminals and they were considered the strongest generation... [/quote] It took a while, but the Shinigami had finally led him to the Head Captain's office. He watched silently as the man explained to his superior about the situation and then proceeded to concentrate on the Head Captain himself. He'd heard talk of this man before, ignorant ramblings of drunken criminals claiming that they could best him easily in battle. That was usually just before Jinzo killed them. Other than that, he hadn't heard much about his exploits but he assumed that the man was strong, given his position. As the Head Captain rose from behind his desk and walked toward him, Jinzo had to fight against some strange urge to step backward. He frowned, commanding his body to stand still and resolute, even before a man of his stature. Aside from that urge, Jinzo could also feel the pressure of his spiritual power. It wasn't much, he could tell, but what was on show was so dense. He was definitely strong then. As the man released the kido from around his wrists, Jinzo instinctively rubbed them. Although the kido hadn't left a single mark or proven to be uncomfortable in any way, his scars from before burned deeply. [b]"My life until this point hasn't been so straight forward, Head Captain. Had I the chance, I probably would have gone through the academy just like everyone else. But destiny saw to it that I would receive my [i]training[/i] in another manner, with every lesson a fight for survival. To kill or be killed in order to strengthen and hone my skills. This first-hand experience, I believe, is what makes me just as strong, if not stronger, than any academy student. As for this..."[/b] He placed a hand on the hilt of his Zanpakuto. [b]"..Be it a just a sword or Zanpakuto, I don't truly know. I took it from a group of men who attempted to sacrifice me with it and then slaughtered them all. Occasionally It speaks to me, just like the darkness does sometimes. Are they are the same voice? I don't know that either. But I have seen what lies inside it and I can tell you, it is no mere [i]normal[/i] blade."[/b] He looked down at the black hilt, questions rising within him again regarding its origin. He pondered for a moment before answering the final question. [b]"As for the last question...If you would have me, I'd be honoured to join the 7th Squad. This is where my path has led me so far and that squad is where I will find the place where I am to go next."[/b]
