Taki smirked, "I'm so sorry to point this out Shiro-
Kun, but it appears that Shi-sama hasn't visited you... Maybe you aren't growing on her." She looked around his room and onto the table where his and Shinji's food was. "Oh look, even your father got gifts..."
Shiro pointed his nose upward and shouted at Taki, "Well I wasn't in critical condition, I was simply fatiuged, and I have only been asleep cause my reatsu was spent. I didn't need gifts. Besides, Shiori did come, and she left this as an inside joke." Shiro pulled out a small package with a pair of his boxers in it. "She came and left it on the table next to me with this note." Shiro show Taki a note that said '
If you ever try that again, you will find a piece of you missing and wrapped up in these!' It was clearly Shiori's handwriting.
Shinji smiled at Khi's words. "So Khi-san, does that mean that I was wrong? could you really not want the position anymore? It would be nice to get back to work. I hear there is going to be a captains seat open soon." Shinji let it slip that he was going to assassinate the traitor captain. He held his hand out and formed an average looking zanpaktou in his hand. '
Hmn, my new soul slayer, nice to meet you...' He slipped the sheathed sword into his obi and began to leave the room for the training room.
Yura glares at Shinji. "Ya know Takashi-sama, Miyabi has grown but she held onto her love for you and got stronger than you would think her to be. She still loves you and you don't have to grow up for something like that. I don't care what you've been through. No matter how bad things got you must have at least remembered a thred of your love for her." He tears up himself. "Even in your last dying breaths you told her you loved her." he glares as Shinji and stands in his place. This time he wasn't afraid of what Shinji might do to him. "She believed that and held onto it with every ounce of her being. She has been training night and day and she waited for you to awaken. You know what I still respect you but you are certainly THE BIGGEST ASS I have ever met." He clenches his fists and jaw.
Looking straing past Yura Shinji Takashi stood in his face and whispered, "Every man is entitled to his opinion. Now if you don't mind..." Shinji didnt bother finishing his sentence as he continued walking past the irate Yura. "SHIRO! We are going, hurry up." Shinji walked away disappointed in how everyone was more concerned about there feelings than getting strong enough to beat a true demon.
"Khi-san, Yura-san, you must forgive him. He is right, he now possesses the essence of two hollows within him. I noticed it this morning when I was trying to transform. I wanted to see if I had the power to start training. I now have complete controle over my hollow form. I dont posess the evil of a hollow. My father is also alot stronger because of having the two hollows, but he needs to be on his own and lose all weaknesses in his heart. To a hollow love is a weakness we cannot have, it gives room for the hollow to come through and take over. He still fights that inner hell. He needs to become stronger to preserve his new life. So please give him time. Also don't tell Mimi-chan, she would try to force him to open up to her, and he cant do that until the hollows within are distroyed or tamed. I will help him achieve that."Shiro bowed and ran to catch up to his father.
Yura nods his head to Shinji and then shiro. Once they were both gone out of ear and eyeshot he falls over letting his fear come back. "Gyah!" He laughs nervously then get over his fit. "Let's go help Miyabi Khi."
Khi nodded and walked out the door. He turned to invite Taki, only to snicker at her clutching Shiro's boxers. "You okay Taki-san?"
That that that... bastard! How dare he try this! Taki faked a quick smile before putting the boxers and note on his bed. "I'm fine. I better go ask Shi-sama aomething though. See you guys later? I might even bring Shi-sama to go see Miyabi-san"
Yura nods his head. "that may help. Thank you Taki." He looks at Khi and wonders if he is ready to go comfort their friend.
Walking in the nighttime breeze Byakuya passes the group going to Miyabi's. Not looking to anyone other than the high comander He lowers his head slightly and give a soft "Good evening Khi-Taicho" To the comander in passing.
Once they get to miyabi's room they find a very red-eyed miyabi who is, of all things, cooking, cleaning things that needn't be cleaned, and smiling. "Hello!" Yura knows immediately that Miyabi is torn deeply. He moves to take the frying pan and duster from her hands but she laughs him off and hits him with the duster. "I'm fine! Really!"
Khi shivered,
Being high commander is wierd... Did he really say that? "Miaybi-san... you don't seem alright. Do you wanna come out with me and Yura-san?"
"Shi-sama!" Taki screamed, pushing Shiori's door open and pointing at the girl sitting on the bed, reading. "Shi-sama, tell me if was a joke! You didn't really give him that package?! That was a prank by someone else right?... Right!"
Shiori sighed and put down the book. "Taki-san, what are you screaming about? The package I gave Shiro was indeed mine. What are you angry for? He was in need of a little cheering up."
"So.. so you don't like him more than me?" Taki asked, grabbing onto Shiori's hands and kneeling at her feet.
"Well you are annoying me... and Shiro-kun isn't that bad once you ignore his perversion for all things in a skirt...."
"Shi-sama!Nooo
ooo!" The cry could be heard all throughout the Soul Society
Sitting in front of his families mansion Byakuya was drinking tea watching the cherry blossoms in the wind through the moonlight. He could hear Taki's scream as he sipped. Keeping his eyes closed he simply muttered to himself, "That 10th division captain and vice captain need to stop this, it is disturbing my evening." Sitting there he went back to sipping his tea.
Shiro at the same time heard the cries and busted out in laughter. "Hahahahaha I told you Taki-kun!" He said and was quickly scolded by Takashi.
"SHIRO! ARE YOU HERE TO TRAIN OR TO MAKE FOOLS OUT OF THE SHINIGAMI AROUND HERE!" Shinji looked at him angrily.
Shiro froze then bowed appologetically. "I... Im sorry father it wont happen again."
Shiori sighed, How am I gonna get this girl to leave me... "But yes, if you leave.. now I will say it... I love you Taki-san. Now are you happy, and will stop crying?
Taki froze. What did she say...? She shook her head and asked, "Shi-sama?"
"I know you like me, I've actually known for quite some time. So now that I made you happy. could you leave?"
"Shi... Shi-sama loves me?! Wait til Shiro finds out!" Taki quickly hugged Shiori, then ran out to find Shiro. Heh.. who has the upper hand now...
I wonder if she knows she seems to have a crush on Shiro-kun... Shiori shrugged before picking up her book and reading again
"No I'm alright! ^^ Really." tears begin to flow uncontrolably. She sits upon her floor and sobs into the fryin pan.
Khi wrapped his arms around Miyabi and picked her up. He carried her over to the bed and set her down. "It's okay Miyabi-san"
Yura takes the frying pan and duster from her. He placed them away and sits behind her hugging her as well. Miyabi sobs into Khi's shoulder and hugs him. "I thought.. he loved me!" She cries.
"We know Mi-chan." He rocks them and sighs.
Artemis stood outside in the 10th division training grounds training lightly with a wooden sword for step work. her breathing was heavy. "this is hard ooka." she complained looking down to her sword. "so many people in the squad sould be fukutaicho not me...." she said.
