[Sakura]

Sakura sat by herself in her office for some time, deep in contemplation of what she had set into motion. But it couldn't be helped. Some things needed doing. And she knew she could trust Magatsu to do what needed to be done, when it came right down to it. He was ruthless, true, and enjoyed the kill more than Sakura felt comfortable with. But he was in the squad for a reason. Vice-Captain for a reason.

With a sigh, Sakura rose, gathering some papers from her desk, folding and sealing them for delivery to their various destinations throughout the Soul Society, and stepped out of her office. On her way towards the front entrance to the HQ she pauses and looks into Daisuke's office.

"Daisuke, I hope you are not too busy with paperwork. Would you like to join me for a late lunch?"
