Takashi walks along the back corridors to his office. "It's good to finally have my job back. hmn, I have no idea why but i really enjoyed that." He continued to the training grounds. His new found powers made him very excited to the point that he needed someone to fight against at full power. The two hollows within him were completely under his controle and a dark aura was sorunding him. "Hmn, it seems like this darkness is a necessary evil, but i have become powerful enough to handle it. Now if only esparda would make a move, i might actually be able to fight someone at my maximum." Takashi sat at his dest depressed. "Shiro is strong as an arancer but his skill doesnt compaire. Miyabi is still too fresh. Besides she would never be serious fighting me. The other captains aren't strong enough either otherwise they would challenge me. Ara, eventually I will. For now, I will sit here and plan, wait, and see what will happen." Shinji sat at his desk looking down in the dumps.
Taki walked past his door and stuck her head in. "Why the long face, Takashi-sama? Women problems?" She joked, while walking in and sitting on the edge of his table. Truth was that Taki was still angry that Shiori was still at the festival.
Well ... maybe she's not with that .. that guy after all. She looked out the window at the many lanterns that were set up, hiding her clenched fists in her dance kimono. Right now, she would give anything for her to able to put the fans she had with her still, to good use...
A few days had passes since the festival and Byakuya was now teaching Miyabi the first demonic art she had ever tried. "Focus, consintrate and chant this spell. Hold your reatsu steady otherwise you could kill the one you put this on. repeat this spell. 'First Restraint - Obstruction' I believe your powers are strong enough to forego the encantation." Byakuya demonstrated the technique and left Miyabi to try. Practice alittle on the straw dummy without destroying it." Byakuya walked back to his mansion to continue some work he had to do.
Miyabi's first try she blew the hay doll's arm off. She giggles a little and then resumes her composure. She focuses better once her mind is cleared of all her thoughts. She binds the doll and a sweat had broken out. "wow.. I DID IT!!!" She breaks out into a dance and turns to what she thought the morning sun. she had been practicing all day.. the sun was in the opposite direction now. She sighs and walks into to tell Byakuya her triumph and sits in a chair. She nods off waiting for him.
Byakuya walks in and taps Miyabi on the shoulder. "This is no good. It took far too long to get the simplest of demonic arts. I want you to take this seriously. how can you refine your skills when they are not coming along at the appropriate speed. You need to do reatsu training. Here is a simple way to train it and learn to controle it perfectly. I will attack you with senbonzakura and you will block it with a sealed soul slayer. your zanpaktou should be filled with condensed reatsu to block Senbonzakura's attacks." Byakuya looked at her intensly and walked back to his room.
MIyabi blinks and then grumbles after he left. "fine don't say good job at actually gettting it for your first day.." She mumbled quietly to her self. She follows Byakuya the pauses at the door. "Are we going outside to train or are we going to remain in here? I wouldn't want to chance breaking anything in this house let alone put a hole in one of the walls.. It's far to old and beautiful for something like that to happen." She bows slightly to him. "Actually.. If it's alright with you I'd like to leave for now.. And train on my own." She turns and quicksteps to the nearby forest. she goes deep within the forest and lets herself get lost in it's deep mysteries. She finds a small clearing amongst the trees and stands in the middle. She focuses her reatsu for maybe five minutes. Being away from everyone and everything the can let her mind go easier. She spots a rabbit hopping by. "First restaint - Obstruction" The Rabbit stops in mid-air and falls. She smiles and lets it go. She continues to practice throughout the night and forgets about eating. She's been practicing so hard recently she hardly has time to breath.
After a few months of trianing with and without Byakuya Miyabi masters a large portion of the arts. she strugles a bit with some of the more powerful arts but is mastering them nicely. one night after a long and VERY rough training session with her friend and teacher she awakens to a loud boom. Lightening strikes nearby and she screams at the thunder. She crawls under the couch she had fallen asleep upon and tries to block the sound out. For the moment she has no clue where she is. She begins to remember her dream. Shinji had been speaking coldly to yura after Yura had gotten really mad at him. She knew somehow that why they were that way with eachother was because of her. The large hole left from Shinji in her heart began to burn and hurt. she burys her head in a pillow that had fallen off the couch. She didn't want to cry.. didn't want to think about it.. she was so tired of being sad for Shinji. "I don't love you anymore." Her tears began to flow. "Why do you still haunt me? My dreams are a place to be safe and happy not sad and angry. Please leave me alone..." She chokes for a moment and wipes her tears away. She curls up and attempts to fall asleep but the lightening calls to her again making her cringe.
Shinji was still training his son when he heard the lightning strike. "Hmn, lightning with no storm. an anomaly. Shiro... Something is wrong, go investigate it. I will be talking with Khi." Shinji walked away leaving Shiro to find where the lightning was striking. Shiro followed it to the garden of Byakuya's home. He walked to the structure and requested permission to search the area. The servant reluctantly let him in. As Shiro walked to the back garden he saw Byakuya taicho reaching the max of his power. a pink reatsu surrounded Byakuya and the resulting reaction with the surrounding spiritrons cause lightning like emissions from Senbonzakura. Quietly Shiro turned back to the building and caught the cowering Miyabi. "Oy Mimi-san, are you ok?"Shiro ran to her and put his arms around the sobbing girl.
Miyabi strugles against Shiro for her eyes see Shinji not Shiro. "Stop! I don't love you Shinji! I can't! Please leave me alone!" Her long red hair had recently been cut so it faded from front to back and now is only down to her shoulders. right now it is a mess from her strugles and sleep; it was in a ponytail. She subsides into Shiro's arms realizing the struggle is futile. She stayed there sobbing. Her sadness overwhelming her to the point of having an anxiety attack. "I'm sorry" She gasped.
"Mimi-chan, look its me, Shiro." Shiro tried to keep a calm voice as to not excite miyabi. "You have a fever. Why is it you always end up sick. Kuchiki taicho is gonna have your head for this." He laid the girl on the couch and called in one of the servants. The servant set Miyabi on an I.V. and let her rest.
Miyabi looks muzzilly at Shiro. "It's not his problem.. I did eat this time.." She holds a hand out to Shiro "I'm sorry Shiro.." She sits up takes a hold of the iv rack and quicksteps to the forest. she found her branch and sat upon it waiting for Byakuya to come and make her go back she knew that if he found out about her being sick again he'd train her even harder once she got better. She wanted to trian with the sickness to try and beat it before it made her really sick. She decided that instead of sitting and waiting she would trian and get stronger. She hopped down off her low branch and once upon the ground her legs folded under her weight and she passed out. Not only did she sprain her ankle but now the fever has gotten to her. She had been eating the bare minimum requirement by Taicho's standards.
Byakuya caught up to her and found her on the ground. He looked at her and whispered, "Fool..." he grabbed her and walked back. When she finally regained consiousness. "I havent seen anyone this serious about hurting themself with training since Renji. He wound up dieing in a fight he was so eager to push himself. If you are going to keep training under me then it is by my rules alone. otherwise I will remove your rank in the arena. Understood?"
Miyabi glowers at the end of her bed. "For training so hard?" She sets her jaw. "I'm eating I'm sleeping rght. What more do you want? I'm pushing myself to the point that I sleep VERY well and I eat to your satisfaction. and now that I get a little sick you get mad at me!" She pulls the IV out of her arm and quicksteps away. She feels the need to get away from him. She hates people who contradict themselves. They drive her nuts sometimes.
